Chapter 243: She’s Worth It
“Daddy Shi, something’s wrong, someone’s posted a scandal about you and Yi mei.” Li Jianyu was furiously sweating as he handed his phone to Shi Sui.
Xiang Yi cocked her head, eager to see the news, but was blocked by Li Jianyu.
“It was probably leaked by a member of the staff in our crew. I’m investigating it right now. Yi mei, don’t worry, I will give you a proper explanation!”
Xiang Yi instantly understood. “Someone is mocking me?”
Li Jianyu felt helpless. “Mhmm...”
Soon, Shi Sui’s manager, Si Chuanbai called as he stepped onto the balcony to answer the phone.
Si Chuanbai was clear and concise. “The statement has been issued, but I need to confirm with you; are you two dating? If you are, are you planning to go public? Let me know so I can prepare a response.”
Shi Sui glanced at Xiang Yi. “Not yet.”
“You... Are you for real?” Si Chuanbai felt himself suffocate a little. “Let me ask you bluntly; is she worth it?”
“She is.” Shi Sui responded without hesitation.
Si Chuanbai went silent for a moment. “Okay, I understand. Since this is your decision, then I will respect it and cooperate.”
“Then you...” A lazy laughter sounded through the receiver. “Are you not planning to wish me a happy marriage in advance?”
The serious atmosphere was instantly shattered by Shi Sui’s flirty demeanor.
Si Chuanbai took a deep breath and mocked: “You’re not even dating yet and thinking of marriage already? Haha, why not just find a master to prepare you some baby names?”
“Okay, remember to find a good master. The more expensive, the better, thanks.”
Meanwhile, Xiang Yi had received Ah Nan’s video call as well.
On the screen, Ah Nan cried while sporting his sparsely colorful hair. “Wahhh sweetie, they are so mean, they won’t issue a public statement for you and even told some of the newbies to ride the wave of your popularity! Garbage company, why are they not bankrupt yet...”
Xiang Yi didn’t take these things too seriously. To her, the most important task at hand was deciding what to make for lunch.
“Okay, don’t cry.” Xiang Yi comforted him. “If they really went bankrupt, you would have no job.”
Ah Nan sniffed. “Then when the time comes, I’ll become a Mr. Tony* and take care of you using my wash blow and style skills.”
Xiang Yi couldn’t help but picture the scene. Inexplicably, she felt the role was very suitable to Ah Nan.
“How can you still laugh... When the Sea7 boys heard of this, they were on the verge of tears.”
“Tell them I’ll find a way to deal with it.”
“Really?”
“Mhm. Do you want to come for lunch? I made your favorite marinated pork hock?”
“Gulp...” Ah Nan gulped loudly across the video chat. “O...Okay. See you at lunch.”
They hung up.
Xiang Yi met her brother’s gaze.
Xiang Li frowned as he tapped on the tabletop with his left hand, each interval between taps exactly the same as the last.
“How do you plan to solve this?”
“No idea.” Xiang Yi said honestly.
Xiang Li’s eyebrows twitched. “How can you still say it so confidently then?”
The girl beamed as shallow dimples formed around her cheeks. “Because I have you.”
If this was during her transmigration, she would have been desperate to die and be reborn.
But now, she just wanted to, even for a little bit... Rely on her big brother.
“Heh, dumbass. You can’t even solve this?” He said as his eyes beamed with happiness. Clearing his throat, he spoke: “You want my help? Beg me.”
Xiang Yi clasped her hands together and coyly said: “Big brother, please, please, can you help me, please?”
“Wait.” Xiang Li interrupted. With familiar ease, he began to film on his phone and said strictly: “Go again, I didn’t catch it on film last time.”
