A week later.

The public’s opinion about Xiang Yi and Shi Sui gradually ceased, but Xiang Yi’s Weibo remained in a state of ruin and the subject of ridicule for many netizens.

Ah Nan carefully dialed Xiang Yi’s phone number.

Buzz.

She answered.

“My sweet dear, are you awake?”

“Mhmm, what’s up?” Through the receiver, there was a noise that sounded like she was exercising.

Ah Nan felt like a relieved old father. After experiencing amnesia, this little sweetheart had really grown up. She was exercising to keep in shape even without any jobs on hand!

“My sweet, no worries, the netizens are tired from talking so much smack for several days. This time, you got a blessing in disguise: your popularity has shot up! A very popular variety show has requested for you and even wants you to fly in as a VIP. I’ll accept it for you?”

“It’s fine, I’m busy.”

Ah Nan was confused. “Huh? What are you busy with? The spa? Or are you in a hot spring?”

Xiang Yi calmly responded, “Feeding the pigs.”

…Feed the what?

Ah Nan was in a momentary trance. Thankfully, he had fast reflexes. Recently, pets like small ducks and mini pigs have been trending online, and Xiang Yi probably just has one of those adorable little…piglets. Right?

He painstakingly tried to persuade her once again. “It’ll only take two days to film. If we behave, won’t it be great to make a couple hundred grand?”

“But my pig is quite appetizing, too.”

“What? Pets are so cute, how could you eat them?””

“It’s not a pet pig,” Xiang Yi seriously explained. “They are omnivorous mammals. The quality of meat is tender, its color bright red, and it’s plump and juicy. It can be used for braised pork, boiled pork slices, and sweet and sour pork ribs.”

“…” It took Ah Nan ten seconds to recover from the shock.

“Gotta go, I need to go slaughter my pig.”

Ah Nan: ???

He took another couple of seconds to reassure himself. Xiang Yi was probably at one of those tourist farmhouses to experience farm life… Right…

She was a delicate girl who weighed less than eighty jin*. Could she even lift the knife, nonetheless kill the pig?!

At Xing Chen Entertainment.

The CEO’s office.

Xiang Feng was sitting sloppily on a swivel chair. With his legs shaking, the CEO did not look very domineering at all.

“Did you dismiss them? What an ungrateful fiend! You’ve treated him well these last few years. If you hadn’t paid for his mother’s medical expenses…” Xiang Feng continued to complain to a man in front of the full span window.

From his perspective, he could just make out a man with a deep and handsome profile. His features were even more three dimensional than it was on the big screen. He had wide shoulders and long legs of perfect proportions. He was dressed casually, with his white shirt sleeves folded up twice revealing smooth muscular forearms. He had a cigarette cinched between his knotted fingertips, but he wasn’t smoking; it was as if he were toying with it.

Shi Sui lazily responded, “No need to mention people we’ll never meet again.”

Xiang Feng curled his lips. “Alright, whatever you say goes, you’re the top selling product of our company… Hey hey, I was just kidding. Don’t look at me like that, it’s scary.”

A week ago, the assistant who had followed Shi Sui for several years had betrayed him and secretly released a pile of dirt to the paparazzi.

Most of them were fabricated groundless accusations. But when the real and fake were mixed, and due to the special status of his assistant, it had set off a large wave.

Xiang Yi entering his room was only a trivial matter out of all the other issues.

Thinking of his amnesiac little niece, Xiang Feng could feel a headache approaching. “Xiang Yi is beyond saving, she actually dared to enter your room… I’m furious! If I bother with her again, I’m truly no better than a dog!”

As soon as his words fell, the phone rang.

Caller ID: Little Xiang Yi.
