35. Are you a pig?

After the family dinner, the two left the Xi family's old house. Back home, Xie Shiyu skipped and hopped up to the second floor, then transformed into a fish tail and entered the large pond.

She felt much more comfortable after her body came into contact with water.

After returning, Xi Zhengyu went straight to his study, probably to deal with company matters.

Xie Shiyu was sleepy, so after tidying up, she lay down on the large seashell bed, covered herself with a silk scarf, and drifted off to sleep.

Xi Zhengyu, who had been busy until midnight, finally came out of his study. He opened the privacy screen, stepped into the giant seashell, and looked at Xie Shiyu, who was fast asleep.

He didn't say anything, just lay down next to her, pulled her into his arms, and gradually fell asleep, smelling the faint, fresh scent of the sea that was unique to her.

—

The goods ordered by Xi Zhengyu have arrived at the store, and Xie Shiyu was overjoyed upon hearing the news.

"Xi Zhengyu, I'm going to the store!" After saying this, Xie Shiyu grabbed her bag and went out.

When I arrived at the store, the assistant was already inside tidying up.

Several large boxes were placed in the middle, and several large fish tanks were placed on the side, filled with all kinds of cute and beautiful fish.

These fish are perfect for keeping at home as ornamental items; I'm sure they'll sell very well when the time comes.

Not only that, there are also some small turtles, jellyfish, seahorses...

Xie Shiyu felt a special connection to these fish.

I crouched down and looked down at them as they swam around.

Meanwhile, the assistant was using a knife to open the boxes, and inside were stone statues in the shapes of various small animals.

The carving is so beautiful that it makes you want to buy one and put it at home as a decoration.

"Madam, how do you plan to arrange these stone statues?" the assistant asked after opening the package.

“Put them on this shelf.” Xie Shiyu stood up and walked to the first shelf, saying, “Put seashells on top and stone statues on the bottom.”

"good."

Under Xie Shiyu's guidance, the shelves in the store were filled with items.

The goldfish were placed in a large fish tank, while Xie Shiyu placed a long table in the empty space in the middle for people to rest and sit.

With everything in order, Xie Shiyu had a satisfied expression on her face.

It's finally starting to look like a small shop.

"When does Madam plan to open the business?"

"I'll open the business on an auspicious day when I get back," Xie Shiyu replied. "Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

This assistant has been following up on the store's renovations ever since, and even accompanied her to the restocking process.

I'm quite tired after working so hard for so long.

"I'll give you a few days off to rest," Xie Shiyu said with a smile, then tilted her head and asked, "Can I give you paid leave?"

The assistant became excited as soon as he heard the words "paid leave".

"You can mention it to Chairman Xi; if he agrees, that's fine," the assistant suggested. Paid leave is a must!

"good."

After tidying up, today's tasks are finished.

After closing the door, Xie Shiyu walked along the street. She had been in this world for a while, but she hadn't had a proper chance to explore it yet.

I'm traveling alone today, so I'll take a walk, explore the sights, and try to learn more about the place.

This street is very bustling, with people coming and going, and every shop is lively and bustling.

Xie Shiyu stopped in front of a restaurant, her mouth watering at the tempting aroma of the grilled squid.

Open your smart device, tap on your personal account balance, and you'll see a long string of zeros.

Xie Shiyu stepped forward: "Boss, I want ten skewers!"

After getting ten skewers of squid, she bought some other snacks and then found a place to sit down and start eating.

As she was enjoying her meal, a sharp, piercing sound rang out in the distance.

Are you a pig?!

"You can't even handle this little thing? I hired you to help, not to cause trouble!"

"What's the use of being good-looking if you can't do anything? You might as well go work as a prostitute at a nightclub."

"With your looks, becoming the top courtesan would be a piece of cake."

Xie Shiyu felt extremely annoyed by these insulting words and decided to stop after a few clumsy curses.

Why say something like that?

Despite her displeasure, she hasn't yet acted as a champion of justice.

"Shut up!"

"If you want to sell yourself, I can send you in."

"But with your figure and looks, no one would want you, you fatso." After saying that, Wendina rolled her eyes at her and turned to leave.

As she left the store, a ferocious expression appeared on Wendina's beautiful face, and she muttered curses under her breath: "Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!"

"You fat bastard, you fat bastard."

She was wearing an inexpensive dress, and her dark circles were impossible to hide. It was clear that Wendina looked much more haggard.

Her once smooth and beautiful hair was now dry and greasy, and paired with the wrinkled dress, Wendina looked somewhat sloppy.

Even so, she couldn't hide her stunning beauty.

So it turns out she was the one who was just scolded.

Xie Shiyu munched on her squid and her gaze fell on her. It had only been a short time since she last saw her, and she had gone from a glamorous superstar to such a down-on-her-luck girl.

Perhaps Xie Shiyu's gaze was too intense, because Wendina noticed it and looked over.

Then I saw Xie Shiyu sitting on a bench, wearing an expensive dress and eating squid balls.

Upon seeing that face, a surge of hatred immediately welled up within me.

She walked up to Xie Shiyu, looking at her coldly: "Aren't you overjoyed to see me like this?"

"Sooner or later, you'll be abandoned by Xi Zhengyu just like me." Wendina chuckled. She had lost a lot of weight, and her already small face was now even thinner.

She looked rather frail; a strong wind could blow her away.

"What do you think it means to get a marriage certificate with Xi Zhengyu? That kind of cold-hearted man is cruel to everyone."

"I'll be waiting for the day you're abandoned, scorned, and ridiculed," Wendina cursed sharply.

Her stomach started growling as soon as she finished speaking. Hearing the rumbling in her stomach, Xie Shiyu handed her a small cake from the side.

"Want to eat?" Xie Shiyu asked calmly, not taking her words to heart at all.

"Get lost—" Undina looked at the small cake handed to her and slapped it away. "Who wants your fake kindness? If it weren't for you, would I be in this situation?"

Her eyes were filled with hatred; Wendina wished she could kill her right then and there.

Only by killing Xie Shiyu can he put an end to the hatred in his heart.

Seeing the small cake that she had knocked away, Xie Shiyu bent down and picked it up.

The cream inside had all stuck to the lid, but it was still edible.

“Your situation is indeed caused by me.” Xie Shiyu did not deny this fact. “If you hadn’t come to me and made those threats, I wouldn’t have done this.”
