Yun Liu looked extremely aggrieved, but she kept quiet, acting as if she didn’t want to say anything because she knew she couldn’t outtalk Shi Xiu.
Upon seeing this, Si Kun hurriedly smiled and said, “Oh my, that sounds complicated. It seems to be quite the tale; I’m really interested now. I’d like to hear the whole story! It’s exciting enough to be a novel. I wonder if it would be adapted into a film. I’m looking forward to it!”
Shi Xiu chuckled, “I’ll ask my sister-in-law when I get back home. The movie I filmed—1 4:30 P.M.’—was adapted from her adoptive mother’s real-life story that Yun Nan wrote. Don’t worry; if Yun Nan doesn’t write the screenplay, I’ll urge our ace screenwriter to write it.”
Yan Tang laughed and teased, “Shi Xiu, I know people can have sister or brother complexes, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone with a sister- in-law complex! ”
Shi Xiu giggled and shrugged. “What can I say? Yun Nan is simply too outstanding! My big sister-in-law, Xiang Yang, is also outstanding. I can continue to show off if you’re willing to listen.”
Ji Fei suddenly commented, “Xiang Yang is indeed a rare talent.”
Shi Xiu grinned. “See, even my master agrees with me. Master, Xiang Yang is going to hold a solo exhibition soon. Do you want to go and take a look?”
Ji Fei smiled. “That depends on whether she invites me or not.”
“Of course, she would! How could she not invite you?!” Shi Xiu exclaimed.
Hai Hua chortled, “Don’t listen to your master; he’s just pretentious.
Even if Xiang Yang didn’t invite him, he would still go to support her.” Ji Fei smiled but said nothing—a silent agreement to Hai Hua’s words.
And just like that, Yun Liu’s complaint session was disrupted and passed over.
Even Yun Liu began to suspect the Shi family was behind this show. They let Shi Xiu steal all the limelight but kept suppressing her at every turn. ‘Everyone is suppressing me,’ Yun Liu mentally grumbled.
Yun Liu was so angry she wanted to lose her temper then and there. She held her anger back and decided to find an opportunity to call Tan Ning tonight. She wanted to see if Tan Ning could get rid of these clowns and replace them with normal people with clean backgrounds.
[Oh, Yun Liu! My poor Yun Liu! She had such a bitter life!]
[Don’t be ridiculous. How can this be considered a bitter life? Our Yun Liu must have saved the world in her previous life; that’s why she’s lucky enough to be adopted by the Yun family in this life and able to have such a good upbringing and resources.]
[Yeah, you’re right! Our Yun Liu saved the entire world in her previous life!]
[Oh my god! Do fans these days not have brains? Can’t you tell she’s a nefarious schemer? She didn’t directly say anything about Director Yun, but she was scolding her with every word she said! You guys seriously can’t tell?]
[Of course, we could. What of it? Just ignore Yun Liu and her fans; why bother caring about such an ungrateful and heartless woman? All that will do is increase her online traffic. Even controversial celebrities can become famous nowadays. Fellow Shi Xiu fans, don’t be fooled by this woman!]
[That’s right! We should focus on our little angel, Shi Xiu. She’s the truly lucky one; she was born in a blessed home. Only a child who grew up loved can be as open and forthright as our angel, Shi Xiu!]
[To be honest, I also want to meet our little Shi Xiu’s sisters-in-law. They sound like the happiest family in the universe—so much so that it doesn’t feel real.]
[Yeah! I want to see her sisters-in-law.] [We want to see Xiang Yang and Yun Nan!]
[We want to see Xiang Yang and Yun Nan!]
[Are you guys Internet trolls? What a huge commotion! How many of you did
Shi Xiu hire? How shameless. Playing dirty because she’s afraid of losing! ]
[Sure, sure. Whatever you say. You guys throw out a sob story when you’re in over your head and accuse others of hiring Internet trolls when you’ve lost the argument.]
[I realize all the show’s guests seem to have some connection with Shi Xiu; Ji Fei is her master, Hai Hua knows her brother, and even Yun Liu is related to her sister-in-law! With such a powerful background, calling her ‘heaven’s favored daughter’ is truly not an exaggeration. However, I like her because she’s her, not because of her family background. Haha, does anyone understand what I’m saying?]
[Previous Commentor, what you said was classic. I also like Shi Xiu because she is who she is. I like her honesty and sincerity. She dares to speak her thoughts and do what she wants.]
[That’s right. She’s much better than those who try to please everyone and smooth things over. Anyone can tell that Shi Xiu and Yun Liu are competing with each other. However, only the best will win. I, for one, support Shi Xiu!]
[Our little Yun Liu doesn’t care about such boring competitions. She doesn’t need to win such things to prove she’s the best and prettiest!]
[Oh, stop blowing hot air out of your *ss. Best and prettiest? Hah! How is she pretty? Do you find fake crying pretty? I don’t see what there is to cry about, really.]
More and more, the style of the back-and-forth comments on the Internet was starting to resemble Xu Yun and Tan Ning’s..
