Chapter 291: Possessiveness

Seeing this picture and thinking of the nickname of an investment genius, some netizens recalled that when Elder Zhong was giving a lecture, Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng seemed to have appeared on the same stage.

Everyone dug out the photos from back then. Xuan Sheng, who was dressed in an official suit, could not hide the sinister look in his eyes. He sat together with Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a short skirt that exuded elegance and elegance. For some reason, it made one's imagination run wild.

[ F*ck... When Young Master Xuan looked at Xia Wanyuan, those peach blossom-shaped eyes were gone. ]

[ Evil big shot and elegant female celebrity... Why do I feel that they look a little good? ]

[ From the way Xuan Sheng smiles at Xia Wanyuan and with the experience of me stanning couples, this is love! ]

[ Xuan Sheng is the crown prince of Glory World Corporation. Ignoring the fact that Xia Wanyuan is a C-list small actress, even if she's just an A-list big shot, she doesn't have the right to be Xuan Sheng's girlfriend, okay? What love? It's just a money and lust scheme. ]

[ I heard from the people in the industry that Xuan Sheng's image is very bad in private. I heard that he's extremely brutal. Perhaps Xia Wanyuan really did a deal with him. No wonder Xia Wanyuan's resources have been so good recently. So she has hooked up with the crown prince of Glory World Corporation. ]

[ There's no need to say that... Xia Wanyuan's acting skills are not bad. That potato chip advertisement is also very delicious. You think that women rely on men to climb up the ranks easily. There must be something wrong with your brains. ]

The trending topic "Xuan Sheng Xia Wanyuan's relationship" quickly climbed to the top of the trending topic.

Many people were not familiar with Xuan Sheng, but Glory World Corporation was too famous in China. After being crowned the prince of Glory World, everyone's interest in this trending topic increased.

When everyone clicked on the trending topic, they were first shocked by the title of the Crown Prince of Glory World. It was the relationship entanglement of a rich second-generation heir. Then, they saw Xuan Sheng's photo.

Okay, a super rich and handsome relationship entanglement.

Then, they looked at the female lead who had a scandal with him.

Everyone was confused.

After all, these two people were completely unrelated to everyone.

On the trending topic, everyone thought that Xia Wanyuan was just a little celebrity who had been kept by Xuan Sheng for fun. After all, the difference in their statuses was too great.

Xuan Sheng had always acted as he pleased. He casually reposted Weibo for shows that he liked to watch for Xia Wanyuan. If he liked to look at photos, he would casually Like them. Unknowingly, he did not realize that his personal Weibo was already filled with Xia Wanyuan.

It was only when his assistant came over that he realized what had happened on Weibo.

When he clicked on the trending topic, they were almost all insults to Xia Wanyuan. Xuan Sheng's peach blossom-shaped eyes were filled with coldness as he posted his first original Weibo post in a long time.

@ Sheng: "I don't have a relationship. I'm just following celebrities normally. I haven't even added Miss Xia's WeChat yet."

[????????]

[ Does the crown prince of Glory World Corporation need to chase celebrities? ]

[ I admit that I'm jealous. What kind of magical person is Xia Wanyuan? She actually made my husband come out specially to clarify and even said that he was her fan. ]

[ Hey, hey, hey. The person in front is too much. Show some respect. Don't call him husband. Xuan Sheng is my boyfriend. Can you not talk nonsense? If you do this, he will coax me for a long time when he comes home. ]

[ Isn't the main point that Young Master Xuan doesn't even have Xia Wanyuan's WeChat?? Impressive. I suddenly feel that Xia Wanyuan has a personality. ]

[ I'm sorry, I think this CP is a little good. I'll be respectful first and wait for Young Master Xuan to succeed in chasing celebrities online. ]

At the same time, a CP named "The Great Summer[1] Pact" secretly opened.

--

When Lin Jing walked into the office, he surprisingly saw that Jun Shiling was not working but looking at his phone with a frown.

Seeing Lin Jing enter, Jun Shiling handed the phone to him. "What does this mean?"

Jun Shiling did not pay much attention to the entertainment industry and did not know much about the actions of the industry.

Lin Jing leaned over to take a look. The words "The Great Summer Pact" were hanging on the screen. Lin Jing swiped it twice and saw the photo of Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng sitting side by side.

.....

At this moment, the omnipotent Special Assistant Lin still displayed the value of his annual salary of ten million dollars.

"This is a type of fan behavior that is popular in the entertainment industry nowadays. For the Great Sumer Pact, the Great represented Xuan Sheng, while the Summer represented Madam. The fans formed this couple's chat." As Lin Jingyue spoke, his voice became softer.

Because he saw that Jun Shiling's expression was getting colder.

Xia Wanyuan had also learned about this farce on the Internet from Tang Yin. Xia Wanyuan did not care about this. Anyway, the thoughts in the hearts of the fans could not affect her real life.

However, when she saw Jun Shiling return to the manor with a cold expression, Xia Wanyuan actually felt a hint of guilt.

"You're back?" Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to speak to Jun Shiling.

"Mm," Jun Shiling replied calmly.

Xia Wanyuan found it funny. She had interacted with Jun Shiling for so long, so she naturally felt that Jun Shiling was sulking.

Jun Shiling went straight to the study on the second floor and did not come down until dinner time.

"Madam, Young Master said that he's busy with work and doesn't want to eat. He asked you to eat first." Uncle Wang went to the study and went downstairs helplessly. Then, he added, "Young Master also reminded you not to eat cold food."

Xia Wanyuan had been on her period for the past two days, and her stomach always hurt a little. Even though Jun Shiling was sulking, he did not forget to care about her. A warm feeling flashed across Xia Wanyuan's heart.

"Got it. Uncle Wang, go ahead and do your work. I'll send the food up later."

"Okay." Uncle Wang nodded and walked away. With Xia Wanyuan's words, he was relieved. In any case, only Madam could treat Young Master now.

Jun Shiling sat in the study, the possessiveness that kept colliding with his chest making him want to announce to the world immediately that Xia Wanyuan was Jun Shiling's wife, and not any messy Great Summer Pact.

However, his rationality told him that once he announced it now, his overwhelming power would become a weapon to hurt Xia Wanyuan. In the eyes of others, all of Xia Wanyuan's efforts would become bubbles. Others would only say that she, Xia Wanyuan, relied on Jun Shiling to have everything.

He wanted everyone to see her radiance and did not want to become the dark clouds above her head.

The thought of announcing it immediately in his heart was gradually suppressed. He could not give everyone a chance to criticize her because of his private thoughts.

After Xia Wanyuan finished her meal, she picked up some of Jun Shiling's favorite dishes and walked into the study.

"CEO Jun, what's wrong?" Xia Wanyuan smiled and placed the food in front of him.

"I'm not happy."

[1] 'Great Summer' in Chinese is 'Sheng Xia' which is a combination of Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan's names.

Chapter 292: Coax Me

Xia Wanyuan laughed. Of course, she could tell that he was unhappy. His face, which was usually cold, now looked as if he had walked around in the cold winter.

"Eat first. Aren't you hungry?" Xia Wanyuan handed the chopsticks to Jun Shiling.

However, Jun Shiling did not reach out to take it. "I'm not hungry. I'm already full from the vinegar [1. 'Vinegar' and 'jealousy' shared the same Chinese character, so this is a pun.]."

Xia Wanyuan really couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't it just a Great Summer Pact? Fans' hobbies. You're angry about this too?"

Jun Shiling, who was already furious, felt even worse when he heard the words 'Great Summer Pact'. "You're still mentioning it??"

"Okay, okay, I won't mention it. Then what will it take for you to eat? If I starve CEO Jun to death, I won't be able to bear the responsibility." Xia Wanyuan sat beside Jun Shiling with a smile.

Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan and said leisurely, "Coax me."

"........"

Ever since Jun Shiling exposed that layer of paper window, Xia Wanyuan felt that not only had he become more possessive, but he had also become more childish.

"Are you Xiao Bao? You want me to coax you?" Xia Wanyuan widened her eyes slightly as she looked at Jun Shiling.

However, Jun Shiling seemed to have hardened his heart. He just did not take the chopsticks from Xia Wanyuan's hand. His eyes drooped slightly, and there was actually a hint of grievance.

...

Xia Wanyuan wanted to just get up and leave, but just as Jun Shiling cared about her, she knew that Jun Shiling had always lived a disciplined life. Now that he hadn't eaten dinner, his stomach must be feeling terrible.

Xia Wanyuan hesitated for a moment, then picked up her chopsticks, picked up an egg, and brought it to Jun Shiling's mouth. "Eat quickly."

Only then did Jun Shiling look up, the smile in his eyes bright. He lowered his head slightly and bit down on the egg.

"It's delicious. This is the most delicious egg I've ever eaten," Jun Shiling swallowed the egg and said to Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at Jun Shiling reproachfully, then picked up a piece of pork rib and fed it to him.

After Jun Shiling finished eating, Xia Wanyuan was about to pick up more food when Jun Shiling took her chopsticks.

"I've already been coaxed." Jun Shiling turned his head and smiled at Xia Wanyuan. "I can't bear to make you suffer."

"Oh." Facing Jun Shiling's occasional sweet words, Xia Wanyuan already had some initial resistance. Now, she could basically ignore them.

Seeing that Jun Shiling was willing to eat, Xia Wanyuan prepared to go out.

"Don't go. Stay with me." Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was about to get up, Jun Shiling stopped her. "I'll still be unhappy if you don't accompany me."

Even though she knew that Jun Shiling was teasing her, Xia Wanyuan still softened her heart and sat back on the sofa.

Sensing Xia Wanyuan's indulgence towards him, the corners of Jun Shiling's lips curled up slightly as he placed a bitter melon in his mouth.

Mm, so sweet.

----

"Wanyuan, did you get into trouble?"

On Tuesday afternoon, Xia Wanyuan was practicing calligraphy in the study when the phone rang. As soon as Xia Wanyuan picked up the call, Tang Yin's worried voice came from the phone.

"What?" Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"A group of people ran to our studio just now and are still standing here. They specifically said that they wanted to see you and didn't say anything when I asked them. They only said that they were from the Wei family and said that they wouldn't leave if you didn't come."

Xia Wanyuan paused. The Wei family?

"I'll come over now." With that, Xia Wanyuan grabbed the car keys on the table and went out the door.

Chen Yun and Tang Yin were surrounded by more than a dozen bodyguards, and they were very flustered in their hearts. They hoped that Xia Wanyuan would be smarter and not come alone. Who knew what these people were doing?

Then, they saw an extremely eye-catching gray sports car stop in front of the door.

Xia Wanyuan walked down alone.

----

Chapter 293: Wei Family Banquet

...

Little ancestor, we know that you're bold, but you don't have to be so bold. Aren't you afraid that something will happen to you alone? How are we going to explain this to Master Jun later?

Xia Wanyuan pushed open the door of the studio and a group of tall bodyguards looked at her.

A middle-aged man beside her was first shocked when he saw Xia Wanyuan's appearance. Then he stood up and walked to her side.

"You're Xia Wanyuan?" The middle-aged man's tone was probing.

"I'll count to three. If your people don't get out of here, you have to deal with the consequences." Xia Wanyuan glanced at the bodyguards in the house. There was a coldness in her voice and the aura emanating from her body shocked the middle-aged man.

I had only seen such a strong aura from the Old Madam. How could such a small celebrity have such an aura?

"Three, two." Xia Wanyuan's cold voice sounded.

The middle-aged man's rationality told him that there was nothing to be afraid of since she was just a little girl. However, when he met that pair of cold eyes, he subconsciously listened to her orders.

"You guys go out first." He could not help but wave his hand for the bodyguards to leave.

"Miss... Xia?" The middle-aged man wanted to call Xia Wanyuan, but under her aura, he actually could not bring himself to do so.

"What's the matter?" Xia Wanyuan was worried about what these people would do to Tang Yin and the rest. She drove very quickly the entire way, and she was a little thirsty now.

The middle-aged man was used to serving the old lady. Now that he saw Xia Wanyuan's actions, he knew that she wanted to drink water. The middle-aged man subconsciously wanted to pour tea for Xia Wanyuan.

He had already taken a step forward when he recalled that the person in front of him had no right to make him pour tea.

He looked at Chen Yun and Tang Yin. Xia Wanyuan waved her hand and dismissed the two of them. Only then did the middle-aged man go forward and continue, "It's like this. You're the daughter of Third Miss Wei and can be considered a member of the Wei family. I invite you to attend the Wei family banquet tonight."

Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan was not surprised by his words at all. Furthermore, she did not show any joy at being able to attend the Wei family's banquet.

"I'm not going."

"What?" The middle-aged man found it even more strange. If ordinary people could build a relationship with the branch of the Wei family, they would already feel that they were climbing up the social ladder, let alone the family banquet of the Wei family. This was a qualification that many people in the high society could not snatch even if they fought to the death. How could someone reject it?!

"You can leave now. I said I'm not going." Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea, her bearing indescribably noble.

"Let me report it. Please wait a moment." The middle-aged man walked to the side and called the courtyard.

"Old Madam, Butler Zeng called." In the quiet courtyard, the maid handed the phone to a white-haired old man.

"Speak." An old but dignified voice sounded over the phone. Butler Zeng was filled with respect.

"Old Madam, Miss Xia is unwilling to attend the banquet." Hearing Butler Zeng address Xia Wanyuan, the old madam's eyes flashed. Butler Zeng had been by the old madam's side for many years and had a high status. Yesterday, he had still addressed Xia Wanyuan by her name, but today, it was with honorifics.

Xia Wanyuan had finished a cup of tea when the middle-aged man finished his call.

Xia Wanyuan stood up to leave when the butler's voice sounded behind her. "Miss Xia, our Old Madam said that your mother should have inheritance rights. Are you going to give up this power on your mother's behalf?"

Hearing this, Xia Wanyuan stopped in her tracks. In fact, this world had nothing to do with her, but she and the Xia Wanyuan a thousand years later were fated.

If it was her, she would definitely not be interested in the so-called inheritance of the Wei family. However, she had occupied someone else's body and it was only right to help her take back everything that belonged to her mother.

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had indeed stopped as expected, the butler walked forward. "Come with me, Miss Xia."

"Where is the address? I'll go there myself later." Xia Wanyuan came in a hurry. She casually wore her home clothes and left the house. It was not appropriate to attend the banquet like this.

"You can come with me directly..." Butler Zeng was halfway through his sentence when he saw Xia Wanyuan's gaze that did not allow for negotiation. His heart turned cold and he swallowed his words. "The Clear Wind Courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. The time is at seven o'clock at night. Don't be late."

After the butler finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan left the office.

Butler Zeng shook his head as he watched Xia Wanyuan leave. It was too strange.

The entrance to the beautiful courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing was already filled with all sorts of luxury cars.

The Wei family was an old family that had been passed down since the Qing Dynasty. The family rules were strict. Many people came to the courtyard, but they were relatively quiet, except for some who whispered secretly.

"Sister, are all the people from the main branch here today? I heard that Wei Shu's daughter is coming today too." At the mention of Wei Shu, there seemed to be no affection in Wei Xian's eyes.

"She's considered half a member of the Wei family. It's reasonable to find her." Wei Feng, the eldest daughter of the Wei family, was calm.

"But, isn't having more people meaning having more assets being split? How long has Wei Shu been dead? Now, her daughter knows how to sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor. She came back directly to split the assets." Wei Xian was a little angry. Her voice subconsciously raised, attracting everyone's attention.

"Sister, you can only say this in front of me. If you say this outside, see how Mother will punish you."

"I... I was just complaining to you, Sister." After Wei Feng's reminder, Wei Xian realized that her words had touched the old lady's taboo and quickly shut up.

The sky gradually darkened. Almost everyone in the hall was here.

The people in the hall were all from the main branch of the Wei family and were familiar with each other. soothing music was playing. Before the old lady arrived, the middle-aged people were exchanging greetings while the younger generation gathered and spoke softly.

Outside the courtyard, Xia Wanyuan was sent out by the chauffeur. She walked straight into the courtyard but was stopped.

"Miss, this is the Wei family's place. You can't barge in."

"I'm here for the banquet." Xia Wanyuan stood still.

"Please show me your invitation."

"I don't have an invitation."

"I'll go in and report this. Please wait a moment."

The guard had been in the Wei family for so long but had never seen this junior. He could not help but be suspicious. However, Xia Wanyuan's appearance and clothes were too outstanding. The guard's heart wavered, so he asked Xia Wanyuan to stay at the door and go in to pass the message.

Soon, Butler Zeng brought the guard over. "Miss Xia, this way please."

Seeing Xia Wanyuan's clothes, Butler Zeng nodded to himself. Ignoring everything else, her noble aura was much better than those of the noble ladies who had been raised in the Wei family since they were young.

People might even suspect that Xia Wanyuan was the one who had truly been raised by the best in the prestigious family.

Chapter 294: Old Madam's Sizing Up

After following Butler Zeng into the courtyard, Xia Wanyuan had learned some skills in reading things after spending so many days in the manor.

The courtyard was much larger than Xia Wanyuan had imagined. It was decorated with pavilions and pavilions, and the Nine Zigzag Corridor style was like a large private garden.

If Xia Wanyuan had not walked in from outside, she would have thought that she had entered the Misty Rain River.

It seemed that Jun Shiling was right about the deep foundation of the Wei family.

"Miss Xia is here."

A voice was heard from outside the door. The hall, which had been filled with low voices, instantly fell silent.

In principle, everyone who could stand in the hall today had the right to inherit the Wei family's property. Furthermore, the old lady's health had been deteriorating in the past few years, but the next head of the Wei family had not confirmed it for a long time. Everyone looked harmonious on the surface, but there was already a storm brewing in the dark.

There was already a lot of competition. Now, there was still someone who could not really be considered from the Wei family but came in to share a spot with them, everyone was naturally unhappy. However, after knowing that Xia Wanyuan was only a female celebrity who was connected to the Internet, everyone relaxed a lot. Now, they were more interested in watching the commotion.

After all, in the Wei family, everyone was highly educated and intelligent. They were either in the arts or in the business world. In the eyes of the Wei family, who had a strong sense of tradition, those who entered the entertainment industry were simply embarrassing.

Butler Zeng entered and led the people behind him in. The crowd, who had been prepared to watch the commotion, was speechless when Xia Wanyuan was completely exposed.

Xia Wanyuan was wearing a sky-blue embroidered dress. Her hair was tied up simply with a hairpin.

The style of the courtyard had a hint of ancient architecture. Xia Wanyuan walked slowly, as if she had walked out of the Misty Rain River.

The Wei family had very good genes. Everyone who walked in and out was handsome and beautiful. However, at this moment, everyone could not help but exclaim in their hearts. She's so beautiful.

What surprised everyone even more was that Xia Wanyuan's arrogant aura faintly resembled that of the Old Madam. It was equally frightening and made one involuntarily look up to her.

People who had originally only treated Xia Wanyuan as a cannon fodder competitor felt an inexplicable panic.

Under everyone's gazes, Xia Wanyuan leisurely followed Butler Zeng's guidance and found her seat.

The people sitting at the same table were all juniors of the same age as Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan glanced at them and they seemed to be a little hostile to her, other than a rather handsome man sitting opposite her nodding at her. Xia Wanyuan returned his smile.

Receiving Xia Wanyuan's elegant smile, Wei Zimu was stunned. This sister he had never seen before was more interesting than he had imagined.

"Old Madam." Xia Wanyuan had already taken her seat, but everyone's gazes on her had yet to dissipate. A voice sounded, and Xia Wanyuan acutely sensed a pair of extremely sharp and probing eyes on her.

Xia Wanyuan followed this gaze and saw a silver-haired but rather imposing old lady sizing her up.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at the old lady and retracted her gaze. She picked up the cup beside her and poured herself a glass of water.

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was still so composed under her scrutiny, some thoughts arose in the old madam's heart, but she did not show it on her face.

"Let the banquet begin." The old madam sat on her seat and glanced at the people in the hall. Without saying anything else, she got someone to start the banquet.

Xia Wanyuan had been busy the entire afternoon and was hungry. Just as her chopsticks were about to reach for the pearl meatballs on the table, they were stopped by someone.

Chapter 295: Provocation Counterattack

Xia Wanyuan looked up. An extremely delicate lady blocked Xia Wanyuan's chopsticks with her chopsticks and picked up the meatball that Xia Wanyuan was about to pick up.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at her. Wei Yu was a little afraid, but thinking that Xia Wanyuan was only a second-rate actress, how did she have the right to eat with them? She glared back. "Hmph, you're just an actress. Don't treat yourself as a member of the Wei family just because you entered the Wei family's door."

"Miss Xia is a guest. Furthermore, she is Third Miss Wei's daughter." Wei Zimu frowned. Wei Yu had gone too far.

"Pfft, another one. Aren't you the same as her? You're just an adopted son. After eating a few mouthfuls of food from the Wei family, you really think of yourself as my brother?"

Wei Yu's words made everyone laugh. Wei Zimu's face turned pale, and he looked at Xia Wanyuan with embarrassment.

The commotion at the juniors' table attracted the attention of others, but no one paid attention to them. The old madam swallowed a mouthful of hot soup and inadvertently glanced at the dining table where Xia Wanyuan was sitting.

Everyone was waiting to see Xia Wanyuan make a fool of herself, but Xia Wanyuan acted as if she had not heard Wei Yu. She reached out with her chopsticks to pick up the crisp meat in front of her.

As expected, the pair of chopsticks appeared in front of her again. Xia Wanyuan paused and glanced at Wei Yu. "You like this dish?"

"That's right." Wei Yu raised her chin slightly and looked very smug.

"Then I'll let you eat it." With that, Xia Wanyuan picked up the dish with her chopsticks. The dish circled around and landed in front of Wei Yu. When it landed on the table, it made a bang, startling everyone.

"Xia Wanyuan, what are you doing?!! You dirtied my clothes!!" The moment the gravy on the plate of crispy meat fell on the table, it spilled all over the table in front of Wei Yu. It frightened Wei Yu so much that she stood up to check her evening gown. This was the latest design she had bought at a high price.

If you like it, I'll bring it to you for you to eat. Also, your dress isn't stained with anything at all. Don't exaggerate when you speak. Actually, you seem to like this meatball quite a lot."

With that, Xia Wanyuan picked up the plate with the meatball and placed it beside the plate.

It was unknown what tricks Xia Wanyuan had used. Those two plates occupied the space in front of Wei Yu. The vegetable soup also seemed to have a soul, and it did not surpass the thunder pool of others.

Everyone at the table was stunned. Xia Wanyuan picked up her chopsticks and slowly picked out her favorite dishes.

Seeing Xia Wanyuan's actions, Wei Zimu was first stunned, then his eyes were filled with smiles. What a sister who refused to suffer a loss.

"Grandma, look at her." Wei Yu was stunned by Xia Wanyuan's series of actions. She stomped her feet in grievance and ran to the old madam to act coquettishly.

"Go back and eat. Don't cause trouble." The old lady did not give her any face.

"Ok." Wei Yu pursed her lips in grievance. She could only get the maidservant to change a tablecloth for her and eat obediently, not daring to cause trouble for Xia Wanyuan again.

On the high seat, the old madam glanced at Xia Wanyuan, who had caused a controversy but was still eating calmly. Her eyes flashed slightly before she retracted her gaze.

Xia Wanyuan didn't know if others were happy or not, but Xia Wanyuan was quite full. The food cooked by the Wei family's chef was not bad.
