Chapter 256: No, No, No, I Don’t Like Sheng Yan

Sheng Yan held the car keys and said as he walked, “I warned you before to keep a distance from Xie Yunzhou. Why are you still so close to him?”
“I just came out for a meal.” Shi Xi blinked. “He helped me a lot.”
“I helped you so much. Why didn’t you treat me to a meal?” Sheng Yan gave Shi Xi a sidelong glance.
Shi Xi: “He was the one who invited me.”
Sheng Yan: “…”
After getting into the car, Sheng Yan asked, “I heard that your role was changed?”
Shi Xi was already calm. “That’s right.”
Since she had already changed, what else could she say.
Sheng Yan: “Then why didn’t you go back to school and study hard?”
Shi Xi: “?!”
Why didn’t you play by the rules!
Where was the part where he consoled her?!
Shi Xi was immediately dumbfounded by the question.
Sheng Yan glanced at Shi Xi and said, “What happened? Did you get expelled from school?”
“You were the one who got expelled!” Shi Xi leaned back in her chair and said, “I did ask for leave from school! I didn’t go back to school because I still have to go to Yanjing to record the program next week.”
“You still have to go to Yanjing?” Sheng Yan thought of something and said, “Then remember to find some time to shoot the promotional video for Shengshi Jewelry.”
“You really want me to endorse it?” Shi Xi was surprised.
Sheng Yan said, “The promotional side said that they want you to be the spokesperson for the series.”
Shi Xi thought of her schedule and said, “I’ll go back and ask Brother Han. I’ll shoot it as soon as possible.”
Anyway, she had almost no job at the moment.
After Sheng Yan sent Shi Xi home, Shi Xi thanked him obediently.
“Do you want to come in and have a cup of tea?” Shi Xi asked.
Sheng Yan replied, “No, I’m afraid Auntie will let me marry you.”
“…” Shi Xi closed the car door and was about to go around the car to enter the house when she saw Ning Yu slowly appear.
Shi Xi: “?!”
Why was Ning Yu back!?
Shi Xi widened her eyes and looked at Sheng Yan again.
Could there be a plot point here?
Sheng Yan had not closed the car window yet. When he saw Shi Xi looking at him, he asked, “Why? Do you still have something to say?”
Shi Xi replied, “No.”
“I’m leaving.” Sheng Yan closed the window and drove off.
Something was not right.
It shouldn’t be.
Shi Xi watched Sheng Yan’s car drive off into the distance. She thought to herself, shouldn’t something have happened between the two main characters?
“If you like him, why did you break off the engagement in the first place?”
Ning Yu’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Ah?” Shi Xi came back to her senses and hurriedly waved her hand. “No, no, no. I don’t like Sheng Yan!”
“I was just asking casually. Why are you in such a hurry to refute?” Ning Yu’s usually cold eyes were filled with a hint of a smile. “Are you feeling guilty?”
Shi Xi: “I really don’t like him, that’s why I broke off the engagement.”
‘Moreover, the guilty conscience is because of you!’
‘You guys are the official couple!’
Ning Yu could not figure out these people’s love affairs, so she did not probe further.
When she entered the door, Mother Shi saw that her two daughters had returned. She said happily, “Ning Yu is back as well. Have you eaten?”
Ning Yu stopped in her tracks. “I’ve already eaten.”
Sometimes, when Shi Xi tried to mediate between them, Ning Yu and Mother Shi’s relationship eased up a lot even though they still did not look like mother and daughter.
“Then go take a shower and change into the new pajamas that I bought for you.” Mother Shi smiled and urged, “Xi Xi, go too.”
The whole family had to be neat and tidy.
Ning Yu asked in puzzlement, “New pajamas?”
Shi Xi gave her a determined look. “I left them in your cloakroom.”
Ning Yu was silent.
She knew that after she came back, Mother Shi wanted to make it up to her and bought a lot of clothes.
Ning Yu also thought about going to wear the clothes that Mother Shi bought for her.
But when she entered the cloakroom, she really couldn’t find any clothes that she liked.
Shi Xi’s style was sweet, but hers wasn’t!

Chapter 257: What Kind of Life Do I Have

Shi Xi would not reject cute pajamas. She happily took a bath and changed into the green dinosaur pajamas she bought during the day.
Ning Yu took a bath and looked at the rabbit pajamas on the bed. She did a mental workout for half an hour before she put them on.
When she went downstairs, Ning Yu saw Shi Xu when she sat on the sofa. He was wearing the giant panda pajamas.
She instantly regained her balance.
So what if she was wearing rabbit pajamas?
Shi Xu had already become the CEO of the Shi Corporation. Didn’t he still have to obediently wear giant panda pajamas?
Ning Yu looked at the dinosaur knitting a scarf on the sofa and wondered why.
When Shi Xu saw Ning Yu, he thought of something and asked, “Do you like white?”
Ning Yu looked at her rabbit pajamas.
Pure white.
“It’s alright.” Ning Yu’s answer was vague.
“It’s good that you like it.” Shi Xu turned his head and asked Shi XI, “Xi Xi, is your scarf done?”
“Yes, yes, it’s done.” Shi Xi said, “Don’t be in a hurry! I’ll definitely finish it before I leave!”
“I’m not in a hurry.” Shi Xu smiled gently and innocently, like a pure panda. “But I like black. Give this white scarf to Ning Yu and knit another black one for me, okay?”
Ning Yu: “?”
Shi Xi’s scarf, for her?
Ning Yu looked at Shi Xi.
Shi Xi looked at Shi Xu and said, “Alright, I’ll give the next one to you.”
Shi Xu smiled warmly and took a sip of tea. “It’s alright. It’s still early before winter, so I’m not in a hurry.”
Ning Yu sat on the single-seater sofa and could see that Shi Xi had already finished more than half of her scarf.
She finally understood why Shi Xu wanted to give it to her.
This was Shi Xi’s first time knitting a scarf. The stitching at the front was a mess.
The stitching at the back should have been more experienced and tidied up a lot.
Ning Yu looked at Shi Xi.
Shi Xu smiled like an old fox and said with peace of mind, “Ning Yu, do you want to eat some fruit?”
Shi Xi said, “I want to eat grapes.”
Ning Yu: “I want to eat peeled grapes.”
Shi Xu: “!!”
When Shi Xi heard that, she said incoherently, “You’d better pick out the grape seeds as well.”
Shi Xu: …What kind of fate do I have in this life!
*
After eating the grapes, Shi Xi went back sleepy and prepared to sleep.
When she pushed open the bedroom door and entered, Ning Yu stopped her and said, “This is a face cream that I made myself. You can try it.”
Shi Xi took the face cream and her eyes lit up. “Thank you!”
The female lead sister was a godly doctor!
The face cream that she made was definitely not an ordinary product!
When she returned to her room, Shi Xi looked at the face cream over and over again.
There was only a label on it that wrote the words ‘face cream’ and its expiry date.
Shi Xi happily applied the face cream and fell asleep, waiting for herself to become even more beautiful the next day.

[Ning Yu and the Shi family were incompatible.
She was born in a poor family. She had always relied on her own hard work to earn everything she had.
Ning Yu did not pay attention to her appearance. As long as she wore simple and comfortable clothes, it would be fine.
As for the clothes that her mother bought for her, she did not like it and was not used to it.
“Mom, you bought so many clothes for Sister, but she never wore them!” Shi Xi said coquettishly, “Just give me those clothes! And Sister’s cloakroom, it’s even bigger than mine!”
Mother Shi said, “Didn’t I buy you clothes? Are you still thinking about Ning Yu’s?”
Shi Xi continued to act coquettishly. “But I think the clothes that Mom bought for Sister are all very nice. Anyway, Sister doesn’t wear them, so why don’t you give them to me!”
Ning Yu went downstairs to eat and heard all these words.
Looking at the troubled Mother Shi, Ning Yu said to Shi Xi indifferently, “If you like them, I’ll give them all to you.”

Chapter 258: Was So Popular That It Made People Jealous

Shi Xi made a, “Yay” sound and said, “Sister, my cloakroom is full. I’ll put those clothes in your cloakroom first. I’ll go in and get them in the future, okay?”
Ning Yu didn’t even raise her head. “I’ll give the cloakroom to you too.”
Shi Xi’s goal was achieved, and she smiled even more proudly.
After eating, Ning Yu was going to give Mu Zhao face cream.
Thinking about how Mother Shi had been worrying about wrinkles recently, Ning Yu took a bottle and gave it to Mother Shi.
Mother Shi had just accepted it when it was snatched away by Shi Xi.
“What is this?” Shi Xi looked at it a few times and said in disdain, “Sister, you’re using this kind of unverified product? Aren’t you afraid of your face being ruined?”
As she said this, Shi Xi threw the face cream into the trash can and said, “Mom, you can’t put this kind of thing on your face!”
…]
Ning Yu woke up in a daze.
She seemed to have had a bad dream.
But Ning Yu couldn’t remember what she had dreamed.
Forget it, it wasn’t a good dream anyway.
Ning Yu got up to eat.
Her mother poured her a cup of hot milk tea and said with a smile, “I used the cream you gave me last night, and I feel that there are fewer wrinkles at the corners of my eyes!”
“The cream only has a soothing effect and cannot eliminate wrinkles,” Ning Yu said.
Mother Shi: “…”
Father Shi drank the tea and said, “People will have wrinkles when they are old. Why do you care so much?”
Mother Shi: “…”
“By the way, where is Xi Xi?” Mother Shi asked.
“She hasn’t woken up yet. You don’t have to wake her up. Just leave some food for her.” Shi Xu knew Shi Xi very well.
Mother Shi looked at Ning Yu. “Ning Yu, what do you want to eat for lunch?”
Ning Yu said, “I’m not coming back today, so there’s no need to cook for me.”
Hearing that, Shi Xu looked at Ning Yu.
He really wanted to lecture this sister of his, but when he thought of Ning Yu’s personality, which would not listen, he suppressed it.
After eating breakfast quietly, those who went to work went out.
When Shi Xi got up and faced an empty house, all she could say was ‘strive hard’.
After eating breakfast slowly, Shi Xi arrived at the dance studio.
The finals were just around the corner, and she was about to start practicing her dance moves for ‘Shadow’.
It was still the dance teacher from before. When he saw Shi Xi, the dance teacher became much more polite to her and asked, “How is Pei Jie doing on the program team?”
Shi Xi replied, “Pretty good.” He had been ranked in the top three last time, and was so popular that it made people jealous.
The dance teacher asked, “Can he debut?”
Shi Xi wanted to say that Pei Jie’s popularity was so high that he would definitely debut!
But then she thought about it again. She had been acting for a month, yet she had been replaced by someone else.
“I’m not sure,” Shi Xi said. “We’ll have to see in the finals.”
There were a lot of lottery winners in the talent show.
In the past few days that Shi Xi had been in Feng City, not only did she learn how to dance, but she also took the opportunity to shoot a promotional advertisement for Shengshi Jewelry.
However, when she was not filming, the anti-fans could not help but stomp their feet.
[Is Shi Xi in trouble? There’s no new variety show, and she’s not in a group.]
[She’s already in trouble. A vase like Shi Xi won’t be able to handle the traffic after she becomes popular.]
[Shi Xi? The only reason she’s popular is because of the program’s bonus. In a male team’s talent show, there’s only one girl. How can she not be popular? Putting her in a female team’s talent show, she’s simply a beauty that no one cares about.]
[Thank you for saying that Shi Xi is very popular. Right now, Xi Xi Zi still has an online drama that’s waiting to be broadcast, and a popular variety show.]
[If you’re envious of Xi Xi Zi’s popularity, just say it. This is a popularity that you won’t be able to get even if you work hard for ten years!]
Just as they were pushing and pulling on the internet, the advertisement of Shi Xi endorsing Shengshi Jewelry was sent out.

Chapter 259: What Does It Mean To Be Sold Out?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shi Xi was endorsing the Planet Series of Shengshi Jewelry. There was the Fantasy Galaxy Necklace, Planet Earrings, and the Starlight Bracelet.
Each piece of jewelry was matched with a set of clothes.
At dawn, the girl wore a yellow floral dress and a Fantasy Galaxy Necklace. Her smile was brighter than the sun.
It was as if she could enter the galaxy with her with just a wave of her hand.
The Planet Earrings took a close-up shot. Shi Xi tied up her hair. The closer the camera was, the more beautiful the girl looked.
Her long eyelashes were slightly lowered, and the starlight flowing in her eyes was more dazzling than the entire universe.
When it came to the Starlight Bracelet, Shi Xi danced for a few seconds, and her hand was ‘inadvertently’ displayed.
There were silver star fragments on the bracelet, and it was decorated beautifully.
After the promotional advertisement was released, the fans called it extremely beautiful.
[Ahhhh! Xi Xi is amazing!]
[Who is so beautiful? So it’s my wife.]
[Those who say that Shi Xi doesn’t have any resources, come and take a look. What is this?]
[Hahahaha, the anti-fans are good-news birds, right? Just when I said that Shi Xi was burnt, Shi Xi’s endorsement came.]
[The promotional video is so beautiful! It’s to the point where you can shoot a music video! Sob, sob, thank you, rich daddy, for the editing material again!]
[It’s jewelry. It must be so expensive. I can’t afford it. Sob, sob, sob.]
[Raising a daughter costs so much money, QAQ.]
After Shi Xi’s new endorsement was posted, the fans who were waiting to be fed cried out in excitement.
After all, Shengshi Jewelry was an old jewelry brand. It had a good reputation and good quality.
Fans who liked jewelry and wanted to get their hands on jewelry placed their orders enthusiastically.
The haters continued to be envious:
[Yo, Shi Xi doesn’t have a job anymore. She’s here to cut the leeks of her fans!]
[How many fans does Shi Xi have? Don’t lose your meals just to buy a necklace.]
[Aren’t Shi Xi’s fans all primary school students? They only know how to brag online. When they need to buy things, they all pretend to be dead.]
[Primary school students should just go to school properly. Don’t bet on food just to support your idol.]
[Blind guess sales volume doesn’t exceed 100.]
[100 is too little. It can probably sell for more than 200. (laughter)]
To the black fans, as long as they could step on Shi Xi, they would be happy.
When Shi Xi’s fans saw this kind of comment, they were so angry that they broke up with the anti-fans passionately.
When the president of the fan club, Ji Yin, saw this kind of comment, she quickly organized her people so that everyone would not be taken away by the anti-fans.
[Don’t go against the black fans!]
[Student parties, don’t overdraw your living expenses! Eat well and study hard! Leave the matter of buying jewelry to the big sisters!]
[Yes! Jewelry is a little expensive. The big sisters have jobs, so the big sisters can just come and buy it!]
[Brother is also buying jewelry. Aren’t male fans also fans?]
[Male fans wear necklaces? I want to see them.]
[I’m not the one wearing them! Can’t I just buy them for my girlfriend?]
[You want to chase after celebrities when you have a girlfriend? Brother has something going on.]
[Ah, it’s mainly because my girlfriend is also chasing after Shi Xi.]
[Male fans also wear bracelets? I think it’s okay.]
[It’s not okay!]
[Male fans wear earrings? Where? I want to see them.]
[???]
The topic gradually changed.
When the ridiculed fans saw that the topic had deviated from its original meaning, they were both moved and amused.
This group of people was really too good.
After the promotional video was released, three types of jewelry were put on the shelves one after another.
Because it was a new product that was being released, Shengshi Jewelry even held a full discount event.
When the fans who were moved saw it, they received their tickets and bought it one after another.
Placed an order.
Huh?
Why was it out of stock?
Huh?
What did it mean that it was sold out?
*
Ji Yin tried to stabilize the fans’ harmony, telling them not to pay attention to the haters’ comments.
Seeing that the chat was peaceful, Ji Yin was ready to buy a set of Planet Jewelry to wear for fun.
Why couldn’t she place an order?
Was it not out yet?
No, the sales volume was 10,000+
Was it sold out?

A new storm had already appeared.
[Didn’t you say that you little sisters don’t have any money? Why can’t I get it?]
[Within a minute, the sales volume is 10,000+. Are you sisters all average rich women?]
[I got the Pink Planet Necklace!]
[I get it. So I’m the only one who really doesn’t have any money.]
[I got it, hehe.]
[Did the male fans get it? I just want to see a boy wear a necklace.]
The male fans were silent.
*
The sales of Shi Xi’s endorsement jewelry were too good.
After the Advertising Department and Sales Department of Shengshi Jewelry saw this data, they discussed to find Shi Xi to endorse other series.
Sheng Yan did not expect that Shi Xi’s carrying capacity was so strong.
The sales of Shi Xi’s jewelry on this day were even higher than the sales of other similar new products in a quarter.
She could become a live streamer now.
“Do you want to endorse another series of jewelry?” Sheng Yan called Shi Xi to ask.
“Don’t ask me. Ask Brother Han,” Shi Xi said softly. “I heard Brother Han getting angry just now. I think he said that the endorsement fee was too low.”
Sheng Yan: “…”
The current Shi Xi was no longer the same Shi Xi from before.
Shi Xi (increased price version): “Ask Brother Han. If you can accept the price he offered, there won’t be a problem.”
Sheng Yan: “I’ll get someone to contact him.”
If the price was right, he wouldn’t mind working together for a long time.
And Shi Xi’s endorsement results this time made the haters even more incompetent and furious.
Anti-fans (incompetent version): [Shi Xi doesn’t have any scenes. Shi Xi is just a marketing person. Other than being good-looking, Shi Xi can’t do anything else!]
Fan (perfunctory version): [Yes, yes, yes, you’re right.]
The black fan was so angry that he smashed his phone.
..
Since she didn’t need to join the production team anymore, Shi Xi went to the hair salon and dyed her hair.
Thinking of how frequently dyeing her hair would cause harm to her hair…
Thus, Shi Xi chose to dye her hair.
She only dyed a few strands of hair.
“Okay, just dye these strands of hair blue, right?” Tony confirmed for the last time.
Shi Xi: “…Yes.”
On the other side, Tao Yuxuan said, “I’ll just do some normal care.”
Shi Xi’s head was held down by Tony, so she could only look at Tao Yuxuan in the mirror and said, “Aren’t you going to dye your hair? Change your hairstyle and change your mood.”
Tao Yuxuan sighed. “I’m not in the mood to change it again.”
“What’s going on? Why have you been so depressed recently?” Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘If there’s anything that you’re not happy about, just say it to make yourself happy!’
Tao Yuxuan said, “My father brought his son home.”
Shi Xi: “???”
Did that mean that he was an illegitimate child?
Tao Yuxuan snorted and said, “That little wolf cub is only seven years old, and he already knows how to bite people!”
“He bit you?” Shi Xi asked.
“Yeah, he was slapped back by me.” Tao Yuxuan was not the kind of person who would suffer a loss.
Shi Xi was silent.
It was difficult for an honest official to settle family affairs.
Tao Yuxuan’s family affairs were indeed complicated.
Shi Xi had heard from Mother Shi that Father Tao was a romantic and amorous person. After marriage, he was not honest either. The red flags at home did not fall, and the colorful flags outside fluttered.
Mother Tao had only given birth to one daughter, which was Tao Yuxuan.
After giving birth to Tao Yuxuan, Mother Tao’s health was not good, and she could not have any more children.
And Father Tao needed a son to inherit the throne, so he found a woman outside to give birth to his son.
“It’s okay, that child is still young.” Shi Xi advised, “You and Auntie should be more attentive, just hold tight to the shares of the company.”
“My father is really flexible! He thought of every possible way to leave the company to his son.” Tao Yuxuan was angry just thinking about it. “Xi Xi, why don’t we take that little wolf cub…”
