Xia Yiran's subtle instigation had already alerted some fans, who promptly posed questions in the comment section.
"What does 'Never to leave, never to abandon' mean? Asking because I don't understand, doesn't Yiran want to be separated from anyone?"
"Uh... why does seeing this Weibo make me think of another 'Miss Xia'?"
"You're not alone on that, upstairs!"
"This plot direction is so confusing, could it be... they... no way?!"
The comment section was buzzing, and this Weibo post was the most commented and shared since Xia Yiran's participation in the talent show. Seeing her fan base grow several times faster than before, Xia Yiran was overjoyed. She was glad she hadn't listened to Brother Zhang and stayed quiet, otherwise, where would all these fans come from?
She decided to press her advantage and replied to the top-voted question with four words: "Indescribable."
"Indescribable." How was that different from indirectly admitting the fans' speculations? In an instant, news about her being the true daughter of the Xia family exploded online. Brother Zhang was caught off guard. At this point, there was no use in excessive scolding, so he directly confirmed Xia Yiran's identity and expedited all future arrangements, effectively marking her official entry into the industry.
Meanwhile, Xia Wei Liang continued her recording for "Challenge It!". During a break, Rui Rui stared at his phone, occasionally peeking at her before quickly lowering his head when their eyes met. His big, clear black and white eyes blinked, his expression innocent and conflicted, like a cute British Pomeranian that made one want to pet him! Sudan Novel Network
Rui Rui couldn't resist. He ran over with his phone, avoiding the gazes that had somehow converged on them. He leaned in and whispered, "Sister Wei Liang, that... is the daughter of the Xia family the sister named Xia Yiran?"
So that was the matter. Unlike Rui Rui's tentative approach, Xia Wei Liang answered readily, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Rui Rui's fair and handsome young face filled with sympathy. "Sister Wei Liang, please don't be too sad~"
His sensible and adorable demeanor completely charmed Xia Wei Liang. Acting on her impulse to care for animals, she reached out and ruffled his soft hair. It felt really good! She narrowed her charming eyes comfortably, her voice softening, "With Rui Rui here, sister won't be sad~"
Rui Rui, with his ruffled hair, nodded vigorously. "Sister Wei Liang, I'm on your side!"
"Mmm-hmm, good boy~"
What should have been a harmonious scene of sisterly affection was abruptly shattered by an out-of-place exclamation, "Quick, look, it's Brother Yi!"
Rui Rui looked up, his mouth agape in shock. "Sister Wei Liang, look, look! It's Brother Yi!"
Xia Wei Liang reacted a beat slower. As she looked up and saw the man with a dark expression opposite her, her hand was still on Rui Rui's head, and her expression of radiant joy hadn't had time to be managed... In short, for the two of them who had studied each other's physiological differences, especially for Xia Wei Liang, their second meeting was, well, very awkward.
Xiao Yi had learned from Yan Zhi that Xia Wei Liang was recording "Challenge It!" next door after his interview with Orange TV.
"What's the use of being beautiful? Isn't she still a calculating vase! If she has no roles, she takes variety shows, and only indoor ones."
Because of the hotel incident, he had lost all good feelings for Xia Wei Liang, the eighteenth-tier actress who slept with the boss and then betrayed him. The man, who was sitting and reading a script, slowly looked up, narrowing his dark eyes, his voice low and seductive, "Who?"
"Xia Wei Liang!" Yan Zhi said as he packed up. "Brother Yi, you definitely don't know, the matter of the true and false daughters of the Xia family is causing quite a stir! The true daughter of the Xia family is even a small star from a talent show. Coincidentally, it's like a pre-written script!"
"With the 'victim' filter, plus the Xia family's backing, this true daughter will definitely have good resources! In contrast, Xia Wei Liang has no skills and no background, just beauty and a bunch of scandals. Whenever 'Xia Yiran' appears in the media, she'll be dragged out and whipped by fans. It'll be hard for her in the future, and it's only a matter of time before she's completely ruined!"
He continued to chatter, completely oblivious to the man's slightly furrowed brow. At this moment, someone knocked and entered. It was Director Song from "Challenge It!".
"Junior, I heard you were being interviewed here, so I came to see you!"
"Senior, it's been a long time."
Xiao Yi put down his script and showed a rare, faint smile, indicating he had a good relationship with Director Song. So, after catching up, when Director Song half-jokingly invited him to observe next door, he remained silent for a few seconds before saying "Okay," which surprised not only Director Song but also Yan Zhi. Brother Yi never joined such a scene. What's happening today? Is a celestial being descending?
