Chapter 51

One of the unsolved mysteries of the world was probably the speed at which rumors spread.

Soon, Xiang Yi’s broadcast room was filled with a curious crowd.

—[Where’s the sugar daddy?]

—[Aiyah, why is it so dark? didn’t someone say the Vase Fairy was secretly meeting a wild man on a variety show?]

—[Why is she being so secretive? Something is definitely off! This kind of scheming woman is not even worthy of carrying our Shi Yingdi’s shoes!]

—[Sister Yi is just delivering food. You guys keep talking about a sugar daddy, but it seems to me like you’re just going crazy wanting to find one for yourself]

—[Hehe sorry, our sister Yi is beautiful, and your Shi Yingdi seems very satisfied from every meal. If you don’t think he’s compatible, tell him to stop eating~]

But in reality—

Inside the living room, Xiang Feng burst forward like a rabid dog, showing the palms of his hands to Xiang Yi. “Look, I washed my hands!”

The Xiang family habitually kept a low profile, and although Xiang Feng was the CEO of an entertainment company, he seldom showed his face.

Even if the artists on variety shows were very popular, he was too lazy to bother. He had only stayed because he wanted to eat his niece’s food.

“Mhmm. Go ahead.”

“Are you sure it’s okay for you to miss your stream?” Xiang Feng asked as he ate, gasping for breath through the steaming food. “I heard the results were pretty good. You even gained a hundred thousand or so new followers on Weibo.”

Xiang Yi’s body was still recuperating, and she couldn’t eat too much greasy food. In addition, her digestive system wasn’t very good; hence, her dinner was only a bowl of millet porridge.

Xiao Naofu had been eating his own special cat food on the side, which was a few peeled shrimps and a clump of pumpkin.

The girl’s motions as she ate her porridge were unhurried as she calmly spoke. “Nobody will notice I’m gone.”

Xiang Feng thought about it and agreed. Aside from when she was cooking, his little niece didn’t have much presence on the variety show.

He had thought it was because she didn’t have a variety personality; but listening to her tone, there was something else behind it.

As everyone knows, there are way too many bored, melon-eating gossips on the net these days. The comment section of her personal live broadcast had been filled with conflicting opinions, gossip, and chatter. It was quite lively.

The number of viewers even reached an all-time high.

“You’re really… planning to leave the industry? But back in the day when you wanted to enter the industry, you even signed a contract with Xiang Chen…”

Xiang Chen was Xiang Yi’s eldest brother, and his law firm was one of the top grossing offices in China. His personal portfolio and business abilities were top-notch in the industry, too.

Xiang Yi paused her movements for a while, her expression rather helpless. “What contract?”

“I’m not too sure about the specifics, but there were a lot of loose ends and odd clauses. There was probably something along the lines of not letting people know your relationship with the Xiang family and that you can no longer collect allowance from the family.” Xiang Feng tasted both the sour plum soup and the plum wine. He preferred the sweet and sour taste of the soup rather than the wine and picked up the glass and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

Xiang Yi frowned. Why would such a notable lawyer like her brother sign such an immature contract with her…

Her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be… her eldest brother knew that she hadn’t been herself last year?!

“Little uncle, where is my eldest brother now?”

“He’s overseas right now on an IPO case. He’s kind of busy and probably won’t be back for at least another month.”

Xiang Yi wanted to video call, but she resisted the urge.

This kind of thing was better discussed in person.

Xiang Feng was fast and finished his food quickly, waving Xiang Yi off to go back to her stream.

Xiang Yi returned to the pavilion with a heavy heart.

The three guys were quite full from the food already.

Yan Zhenhua had been urging Shi Sui to perform, while Shi Sui sat lazily with his legs crossed on the floor, smiling gently without agreeing or rejecting his request.

The dim light of the pavilion glazed his face with a gentle and warm tone. After seeing Xiang Yi, he spoke in a low and raspy voice. “Xiang Yi, he’s bullying me.”

Matched with his helpless expression, he looked three points wronged, three points helpless, and four points pitiful…

//Shisui: Hey, little cat, if you want to compete in acting, I’m a professional, okay?

//Goodnight~
