After Xu Yi ended the chat in the group, she thought of Lu Shen.

She thought of Lu Shen’s ‘ordinary’ lifestyle. From a young age, he had lived a top-notch life. He could give her a house with a single sentence over the phone, or he could spend 80 million dollars to buy a horse.

Xu Yi looked at the currently lively family chat group and imagined how everyone would react when they found out that she had gotten married behind their backs. Furthermore, she was married to a black-hearted businessman who was extravagant, mean, and cold. Xu Yi immediately shivered. She did not dare to think about it!

Xu Yi’s parents had an accident when Xu Yi was three years old and passed away. Xu Yi grew up with her grandfather, and her uncle’s family treated her like their own. When she was young, even if they were extremely busy, they would still take time out to attend Xu Yi’s parent-teacher conference.

When Xu Yi grew up, she learned to perform. They originally did not want Xu Yi to enter the complicated entertainment industry, but when they saw that Xu Yi was persistent, they let her go.

Three years ago, Xu Yi was insulted by the entire Internet. Her uncle had a long conversation with Xu Yi, hoping that she would leave the entertainment industry.

Xu Yi said that she did not want to leave the industry because she refused to admit defeat. She just could not take it lying down! Fortunately, Xu Yi’s career had developed quite well in the past few years. Everyone slowly accepted Xu Yi’s job again, and they could even boast about the beauty on the cover of magazines to their friends.

Now that Xu Yi thought about it, she knew that she was capricious back then. It could almost be said that she was arrogant because she was spoiled. After all, she could feel how much her uncle had doted on her since she was young. Now that she was looking at this happy family, she did not want to destroy this family harmony. 

Luo Wei sent her a schedule.

In order to maintain her exposure, Xu Yi still had to attend some necessary activities and jobs.

The next job was in a neighboring city, an indoor reality show. Xu Yi was invited to be a guest.

Xu Yi had also been on this show last year. Indoor variety was not very tiring, and it would usually be very well received by the viewers. Her quick-witted and unpretentious performance in the show.

This year, the show was in its second season. Xu Yi could not participate in the entire season, so he became a flying guest.

Luo Wei texted her, [The flight and the hotel are all arranged. It will take two days, including the rehearsal.]

Xu Yi replied, [Okay…]

Luo Wei, [Oh right, there are fans talking about the horse on the cover of Dress Up the World.]

[Those prices that they’re guessing are really outlandish. Poverty really limits their imagination…]

Xu Yi, [Why don’t we ask everyone to keep a low profile… What if the owner of the horse is exposed…]

Luo Wei, [That’s true. After all, you got it by selling yourself.]

Xu Yi, [What the hell?? How did you know??]

Only she and Lu Shen knew what she had to do to borrow the horse! Who would have the nerve to mention such a shameful and disadvantageous thing?

Luo Wei, [I don’t need to use my brain to guess, okay? Without giving anything, you want to get such a huge benefit from an unscrupulous businessman? 60 million dollars! On top of that, he even sent horse trainers and chartered a plane… By the way, it must be quite intense, right?]

Xu Yi exited the WuChat conversation with Luo Wei with a red face. She did not want to continue this conversation.

It was indeed quite intense a few days ago, but he left her alone for a few days. Could it be that he had a conscience? Was it because they were too busy with work that they had not communicated for a few days?

Xu Yi held her phone and thought about it. In order to prevent Lu Shen from thinking that she had disappeared for no reason, she first sent her cover photo to Lu Shen. She also texted him, [Chengfeng’s photo is not bad! I’m going on a business trip for a few days. Bye.]

…

The plane streaked across the sky above Jingdou.

Xu Yi’s trip to Ping City to record the program was a public event, so many fans came to welcome her after she got off the plane.

Zheng Siyi accepted the letters and postcards from the fans. She was almost overwhelmed by the gifts from the fans. Xu Yi smiled and waved at everyone, then turned around and got into the nanny van.

In the nanny van, Xu Yi took the stack of letters and postcards and read them one by one. The corners of his mouth curled up as she read.

Xu Yi was most touched when she saw the letters from her fans. She felt that life was full of happiness because her fans supported her. To her, this was probably the meaning and value of an idol.

Xu Yi let Zheng Siyi keep the letters and postcards that she had finished reading.

When she came to the television station, Xu Yi knew all the regular guests of the program, so there was no problem with the rehearsal. It ended in almost an hour. After Xu Yi finished the rehearsal, she waved to the few guests backstage. “Then I’ll be leaving first.”

“See you tomorrow.”

Xu Yi walked into the television station building in a good mood. Just as she was thinking of having a little fun tonight, she noticed a few staff members whispering while pointing at her..
