âEat first, your stomach canât wait.â He filled a plate for his sister first.
Despite his low voice, Xue Feifei, who was eating something, paused for a bit then crammed more food into her mouth, swallowing it almost without chewing â it tasted like chewing wax.@@novelbin@@
âBrotherâ¦â
A worried look swept across Yu Sihuaâs face as she glanced at her friend and then her brother, âAs for Zhimei, sheâ¦â
The smile on Yu Sixingâs face vanished instantly. He lifted his wine glass, âDirector Zhao, allow me to propose a toast, Iâve wasted your time.â
If there werenât so many people looking on, he would have likely lost his temper on the spot.
âNot at all,â Director Zhao responded awkwardly with a chuckle and lifted his glass, âSorry, I have a shoot this afternoon, so Iâll abstain from alcohol and stick to tea.â
âThe movie is whatâs important.â
After Director Zhao started, the others began picking up their chopsticks. However, some people still glanced occasionally at Xue Feifei and the still-standing Qin Zhimei.
Qin Zhimei was on the verge of losing her temper, especially since she had to keep standing there with no one trying to appease her. Xue Feifei ignored her, leaving her to stand awkwardly, like a stone statue. The most annoying thing was that Yu Sixing completely neglected her, not casting a single glance her way.
Finally, Yu Sihua couldnât bear it anymore and whispered, âZhimei, do you want to come and eat?â
Qin Zhimei kept standing without moving, her eyes fixed on Yu Sixing, until she noticed her eyes getting redder. Finally, she turned around in her high heels and left.
Now, even Yu Sihua couldnât bear it. Although it was Qin Zhimei who dragged her here this time. After all, if only Qin Zhimei showed up, Yu Sixing wouldnât have even bothered. For instance, when she arrogantly demanded someone to accompany her earlier, Yu Sixing might have directly kicked her out.
âBrother, Zhimei, sheâ¦â
Yu Sixingâs face was now unfathomably distressed. He knew that Yu Sihua and Qin Zhimei were good friends, but what of it? Because they were friends, does that mean they have to become sisters-in-law?
When she approached Huang Qichu, he didnât object. So now, not only is arranged marriage in fashion, but it has to be arranged by his sister?
âNow that you have a child, itâs not suitable here for pre-natal care. After the meal, you should go straight home. Iâll book the ticket for you.â Without another word, Yu Sixing put down his chopsticks, took out his phone and booked her a ticket, âThe plane takes off in four hours. The ticketâs already been bought. Qichu, keep an eye on her.â
Huang Qichu nodded. He had just witnessed Xue Feifei confronting Qin Zhimei head-on, showing an invincible spirit. There were also no disturbing rumors in the crew, which finally made him feel relieved. When he sneaked a glance at Xue Feifei, she seemed to have recovered quickly and was chatting and laughing with others.
Yu Sixing, in the end, did not go after her. After the meal, Yu Sihua put down her chopsticks and went to find someone. It seemed like an assistant also called Yu Sixing out for some other work.
Xue Feifei was calm as usual. Others left one after another as their drivers arrived. She was the only one left, because she didnât have a personal driver and normally used ride-hailing services.
While waiting for the car, she was not in a hurry. She stood in the courtyard with her script and read while waiting.
As she was engrossed in an exciting part, someone slowly approached her, âFeifei.â
It was Huang Qichuâs voice.
At this moment, Xiang Yirou had dropped something and was looking for it when she unexpectedly noticed Huang Qichu conversing with Xue Feifei.
