Chapter 302: Fighting Green Tea with Green Tea

The woman suddenly realized something and subconsciously took a step back.

To the people present, this was seen as a guilty conscience.

Ye Wanxi admired the person's panicked and disheveled appearance for a while before saying quietly, "Because he stole or even robbed someone else's things. What's fake is fake, and it can never become real, just like a pheasant can never become a phoenix."

"Even a cuckoo has to have the ability to usurp someone's nest, otherwise, when someone more powerful appears, they can easily squeeze you out of the nest and smash you to pieces. Am I right?"

The woman took several deep breaths, about to explode in anger, when she heard a gentle male voice from outside the lounge: "Huanhuan, are you done yet? Time's almost up."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in a formal suit, who looked to be in his forties, standing at the door of the lounge.

"Dad." The woman, who had been grimacing and about to fight Ye Wanxi, immediately changed her expression and happily ran towards the man, affectionately taking his arm.

"Dad?" Gao Min clearly knew the man's identity. Her gaze darted back and forth between the two of them several times, and her initial surprise gradually turned into understanding.

The man looked at his daughter with loving eyes and asked softly, "What was Huanhuan doing just now?"

Huanhuan's expression froze for a moment. She wasn't sure how much this person had overheard outside, so she quickly smiled and said, "It's rare to run into Sister Wanxi in the lounge, so I couldn't help but say a few words to her. I didn't do anything."

Gao Min couldn't help but purse her lips when she heard what someone said. At this moment, she was calling Wanxi "sister" so affectionately, when just now she wanted to devour her alive.

However, this also proves that Ye Wanxi was right. This person did indeed do something wrong, otherwise why wouldn't he dare to complain when his father came, and instead pretend to be a sister?

"Is that so?" The man smiled faintly and looked up at Ye Wanxi. He didn't say anything, but simply nodded politely to her.

Ye Wanxi smiled and nodded in response.

"It's almost time, let's go out first."

"good."

The father and daughter left hand in hand, followed by two tall bodyguards.

You can still hear them talking from a distance.

"Didn't you dislike this Miss Ye before? Why are you suddenly getting close to her?"

The woman chuckled dryly, her voice lacking confidence, "Well, we hadn't met her before, had we? After meeting her, I realized she wasn't as difficult to get along with as I'd imagined. But who exactly is she? Even you, Dad, couldn't get rid of her. The person behind her must be... very powerful."

"That's not your question."

Gao Min was furious upon hearing this: "What kind of person is she? Saying one thing to your face and another behind your back, and secretly trying to undermine you, implying that you got the endorsement through connections. Ugh, you green tea bitch, you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later."

Seeing her indignant expression, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but laugh: "Haven't you heard the saying?"

"What did you say?"

"Fight magic with magic, fight green tea with green tea."

Gao Min was stunned, recalling Ye Wanxi's biting words, "Just so-so, slightly prettier than you, Miss," and the ashen-faced look on the woman named Huanhuan's face.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I had to admit that Ye Wanxi's words actually made some sense.

"Do you know that man from just now?"

"I met him once. He's the high-ranking official I just told you about. No wonder he tried to get someone else to steal your place even though he knew the people above favored you. It turns out they're father and daughter."

Gao Min paused at this point, feeling that there was something strange about the interaction between the two: "Are they really father and daughter? Like, blood relatives?"

It's no wonder Gao Min was suspicious; in this circle, warm words like brother and sister or father and daughter are easily given another layer of meaning.

Especially from their conversation just now, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that the girl named Huanhuan was intentionally trying to please the older one.

"He just thought she was his biological daughter."

This may sound convoluted, but it contains a lot of information.

It took Gao Min a moment to understand what she meant, and her expression immediately became subtle: "You mean, she... she's not someone's biological daughter, but she's taken the place of their biological daughter. Is this what 'cuckoo in the nest' means?"

"Um."

Gao Min hesitated slightly: "Should we...?"

"No need." Ye Wanxi glanced in the direction the group had just left and smiled. "Someone will tell him."

The two bodyguards following behind that woman were not just there to protect her; if they had any sense, they would have told their real boss everything that had happened that day.

Gao Min didn't press the matter further after hearing what she said. Just then, a staff member ran over from outside and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ye Wanxi.

"Miss Ye, it's almost time, we should go."

The anniversary celebration program is actually not very long. After the opening, a few singers will be invited to sing and dance to warm up the atmosphere. After that, Ye Wanxi will select a few lucky audience members to have a friendly match between the stars and their fans.

When Ye Wanxi went on stage, a song and dance performance had just been completed. The audience's reaction was not very enthusiastic because many fans had come for the game and were not particularly interested in these activities.

Seeing this, Gao Min was a little worried that Ye Wanxi would be given the cold shoulder when she went on stage. Their artist is now quite famous, and it would be so embarrassing if she had to go on a small show and still get a cold reception!

However, reality soon showed Gao Min how unnecessary her worries were.

Before Ye Wanxi even stepped onto the stage, the host called out her name, and a loud shout suddenly erupted from below.

"Ahhh, Little Leaf, Little Leaf is coming out!"

"It wasn't for nothing that I fought off sleep all night to wait for you, little Yezi, come out quickly so Mommy can see you!"

"Son, Daddy loves you. Come out now, and Daddy will buy you a full set of game skins tonight! I'll make you the most expensive little princess in the game!"

"Hey~ Little Yezi, don't pay attention to these weird uncles and aunties, only your older sister truly loves you!"

"Goddess!!! Goddess, do you want to be a couple? Let's use these two-dimensional characters to compose an epic and bizarre love story."

Ye Wanxi: "???" This last guy is acting strange, I have a boyfriend!

But I won't remain silent. At this moment, listening to the enthusiastic shouts and cheers from below, and watching the signs with her name waving excitedly in the dimly lit stage after the lights were turned off.

A warm feeling flowed through Ye Wanxi's heart. Following the spotlight left for her by the backstage staff and listening to the increasingly lively shouts from below, she walked step by step onto the stage.

"Hello everyone, I am Ye Wanxi."

The cheers from below grew even louder, and the lights on the stage were turned back on.

But soon, other voices emerged from the crowd.
