Shi Nian remained silent. Shi Xiu had received more gifts than she knew what to do with since she was a kid, but she’d never taken the boys who gave her those gifts seriously. Evidently, gifts aren’t guaranteed to win the heart of every girl. However, it was worth a try.
Yun Liu sat on the sofa, exhausted. Miss Ding quickly called her assistant over to give Yun Liu a massage. She smiled obsequiously at Yun Liu and said, “Thanks for all your hard work, honey. You can rest for a few days once today’s variety show is over.”
“Hm,” Yun Liu replied lazily.
“Yan Ning is your co-host today. He recently became popular because of his performance as the second male lead in a drama. He’s a big hit. I’ve already discussed it with his manager; we’ll create some gossip about a romance between you two to gain more publicity.”
Yun Liu glanced at her indifferently. “Show me the draft before you release the news. Don’t make me out as if I’m a clingy date. He’s not worth that sacrifice,” she sneered.
Miss Ding maintained her smile and assured Yun Liu, “Of course, dear! Of course! We’ll definitely be the ones holding the reins. After the show’s over, we can all go out for a meal and record a video of the two of you entering the restaurant together. We can release the video together with the news.”
Yun Liu didn’t say anything. Another assistant came in with a few magazines and placed them beside Yun Liu’s hand. Yun Liu picked one up and flipped through it in boredom. Miss Ding then chimed in and commented, “I heard that the Shi family’s young madam has launched a new product.”
“Oh?” Yun Liu immediately perked up. “Then I’ll have to show my support.”
Xiang Yang was Shi Nian’s sister-in-law and was doted on by the Shi family’s elders. She came from a prestigious family and had a cold and aloof personality. Yun Liu had tried her best to please her but to no avail, so she could only spend money to buy Xiang Yang’s new jewelry products in order to show her support and gain some points with that woman.
Fortunately, all of Xiang Yang’s designs were exquisite and had collectible value. It wasn’t a loss if Yun Liu treated them as an investment. Yun Liu saw the wedding ring advert, and her eyes were instantly caught by the ring pictured on it. She caressed the picture and sighed, “It’s beautiful!”
The assistant giving her legs a massage piped up, “Only a beauty like you is worthy of such a gorgeous ring!” Yun Liu was quite pleased when she heard that. She carefully studied the design concept of the ring, as well as the number of diamonds and grams of platinum the ring contained, and couldn’t help but feel secretly amazed by it.
“Wow! This photo is stunning!” The assistant exclaimed as she moved in close and pointed at the couple’s picture on the ad. Yun Liu’s gaze fell on the photo, and she suddenly felt as if lightning had struck her.
The assistants began to talk about the photo. “You’re right! Oh my, the photo and this ring are truly a perfect match,” one of them remarked.
“*Sigh* We should find out who the photographer is and hire them to take a photo of Yun Liu. She’ll look fabulous!”
“This man is so handsome! He got me swooning with just his side profile!” “This woman’s—”
“Get out!” Yun Liu suddenly flew into a rage and violently threw the magazine she held at one of the assistants. She also kicked the assistant who was massaging her leg to the ground. The assistants paled in fright. Miss Ding didn’t know what brought on Yun Liu’s sudden bout of anger, but she speedily gave the assistants a look indicating them to leave hastily.
Yun Liu’s face was pasty, and her chest heaved as she breathed heavily. ‘What got her so mad? Miss Ding wondered and swiftly replayed the conversation in her mind. She bent down, picked up the magazine on the ground, and flipped it open.
“Yun Nan, that b*tch! She actually did this in secret!” Yun Liu hatefully hissed. Miss Ding took a closer look at the ad and finally understood what Yun Liu was angry about. If Yun Liu hadn’t pointed it out, she honestly wouldn’t have noticed that the couple in the photo were Shi Nian and Yun Nan.
Yun Liu suddenly began to cry; she covered her face and sobbed. She couldn’t understand why Shi Nian would quietly marry Yun Nan and ignore her courting efforts. ‘ What does Yun Nan have that I don’t? Yun Liu thought poisonously. ‘I won’t accept this unreasonable defeat!’
“Yun Liu, don’t cry! We’ll figure something out. You never know; this might be a good thing for us!” Miss Ding gently consoled her.
Yun Liu wiped her tears and dejectedly sniffed, “What else can we do? That woman is too shameless. Her new movie is already hyped up, so what more does she want? Shi Nian is mine! He was supposed to be mine!”
Miss Ding promptly comforted her, “Okay, okay. Don’t cry anymore. Let’s stop crying, alright? You wouldn’t be able to put your make-up on if your eyes swell up. You should stop crying and listen to me! ”
Yun Liu finally stopped crying. She stared at the magazine before her and was about to throw another tantrum when Miss Ding said, “You need to calm down. Now see here, no one formally stated that the woman in the photo is Yun Nan, so why can’t it be you?”
‘ What? Yun Liu looked at Miss Ding, too surprised to react. Miss Ding gave her a smug smile and continued, “Silly girl, it’s nothing to cry over. You can only see a quarter of her side profile. Who can tell that it’s Yun Nan in the photo? I say she looks more like you.. What do you think?”
