The most shocked person was naturally Wen Yi.
Throughout her life, whenever she had any conflicts with family or outsiders, her mother would always blame Wen Yi first.
This was the first thing her mother said to her when the conflict occurred.
"Mom?" Wen Ge, who was standing to the side, was also surprised.
Mrs. Wen did not respond to Wen Ge, but looked at Xia Xiaomeng, "Miss Xia, the reason I let you live in the Wen family is because we all come from the same place, and Wen Ge said a lot of nice things about you, saying that you have recently encountered difficulties, so I helped you."
“But you’re just a guest here. You have no right to stand in front of my daughter and criticize her life, understand?”
When Wen's mother got serious, she was very imposing, and this kind of targeted lesson naturally made Xia Xiaomeng wary.
She immediately stood obediently next to Wen Ge, speaking in a humble voice, "I understand, Auntie."
“Wen Ge, since you brought the guest, you should make proper arrangements. What kind of talk is it for a guest to come up to your sister and criticize her?” Wen’s mother scolded Wen Ge along with her.
Wen Ge hurriedly said, "Mom, it's my fault for not arranging things properly. I'll be more careful."
She turned to Wen Yi and apologized, "Sister, I'm sorry."
Wen Yi's attention was entirely focused on her mother, and she merely nodded mechanically in response to Wen Ge's apology.
Mother Wen waved her hand, "Take them back to their rooms."
Wen Ge nodded and left with Xia Xiaomeng.
Only Wen's mother and Wen Yi remained in the living room.
Wen Yi peeked at her mother, feeling somewhat at a loss.
She was prepared to be criticized, but her mother's sudden defense caught her off guard, as she had never been defended before.
Even the tip of my nose started to feel sore.
"Xia Xiaomeng's family called us to ask us to take care of her. After all, her grandfather was kind to us in the past, so we have to take care of her out of both gratitude and reason. Don't mind too much, you'll only be gone for a while."
Wen Yi listened quietly. Was this her mother's... explanation?
“I was going to look for you tomorrow morning, but since you’re back now, I’ll give it to you now.” The mother added, “Come upstairs with me.”
Wen nodded and obediently followed behind her mother.
As she walked up the stairs, she touched her phone in her pocket, wanting to text Gu Huaixu and tell him what had just happened.
Most importantly, her mother spoke up for her and stood by her side.
Wen's mother took Wen Yi to her room.
Mr. Wen had a social engagement that evening, and no one was in the room.
"Wait for me here." Mother Wen walked towards the dressing room.
Wen Yi stood there, her hands clasped together in front of her, looking quite like a well-behaved and shy child.
Less than two minutes after Wen's mother went in, she came out carrying a set of clothes.
"You're taking Wen Ge to the press conference for your new movie tomorrow, so I prepared this outfit for you."
The clothes were covered by a dust cover, and when the mother opened it, the full contents of the clothes were revealed.
It's a fishtail dress with a fitted V-neck design and shell embellishments on the hem, which refracts light like stars under the lamplight, making it especially beautiful.
Wen Yi was amazed by the clothes, but even more surprised that her mother had given her this outfit.
“Mom, this dress…” is more suitable for a protagonist like Wen Ge, rather than for her, a little assistant.
"The film company is giving a lot of publicity to this press conference, so you'll definitely be in the lineup. Besides, you're not just an ordinary assistant."
As she spoke, Wen's mother gestured to Wen Yi, "This size looks just right, would you like to try it on?"
Wen Yi held the clothes, feeling touched but also a little lost.
Seeing that she didn't move, Wen's mother didn't force her. "You can wear it out tomorrow. The size looks good, and it should look great on you."
Wen opened her mouth, "Mom, I..."
"It's too late," Mrs. Wen yawned. "Go back to sleep early so you'll be in a good mood to handle things tomorrow. Wen Ge is a kind and gentle person, so I'll feel at ease with you by her side. Do your best tomorrow."
Wen nodded. "Then I'll go back first and prepare properly."
Mother Wen waved her hand.
Wen Yi left with the clothes in her arms.
She went back to her room and locked the door, still feeling like it was all a dream.
Wen Yi examined the dress repeatedly; it was a very beautiful dress, and she liked it very much.
Wen Yi shared this excitement and joy with Gu Huaixu without hesitation.
Gu Huaixu called via video, and Wen Yi answered.
The man leaned back on the sofa, clearly having just taken a shower. His hair was still wet, and he wasn't wearing a shirt. His skin was pale and his chest muscles were naturally beautiful.
With a cigarette between his teeth, he slightly raised his chin, revealing a taut line from his jaw to his collarbone—it was incredibly sexy.
She's absolutely gorgeous.
Wen swallowed hard.
"Does sister regret not staying longer?" Gu Huaixu glanced at Wen Yi.
Wen Yi sternly reprimanded, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you promise me you wouldn't smoke?"
Gu Huaixu immediately and obediently put the cigarette out and raised his hand, "It's gone."
Wen Yi was amused.
Why are you so well-behaved?
"Ah Xu, look, isn't this dress beautiful?" Wen Yi showed the dress to Gu Huaixu like a child showing off, "My mother specially gave it to me."
Gu Huaixu squinted at the dress. "What did your mother say?"
"She defended me in front of others today, saying that she specially chose the dress for me. It means that tomorrow's protagonist is not only Wen Ge, but also me."
Wen Yi was very happy, her face was full of smiles.
At this moment, Wen Yi was immersed in the joy of being protected by her mother and did not notice that Gu Huaixu's eyes were somewhat deep.
Meaningful.
“Wen Yi,” he suddenly said.
"What's wrong?"
"Why do you need your parents' approval so much?" Gu Huaixu asked.
Wen Yi's expression froze.
She never revealed to Gu Huaixu any of her desire for her parents' approval.
They were always talking about feelings that were being ignored.
But he seemed to know everything about her.
"Hmm?" Gu Huaixu asked, "Is a sense of belonging that important?"
Wen Yi sighed, placed the clothes aside, sat down, and said softly, "I hope that one day they will know that the daughters of the Wen family are all outstanding."
“You are better than Wen Ge,” Gu Huaixu said bluntly.
Wen smiled and said, "Little brother, don't expose me so directly."
“One day, the whole world may know that Wen Yi, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, is a hundred times better than Wen Ge, but your parents will never accept it.” Gu Huaixu’s expression was quite serious.
"I want them to know that I'm not bad," Wen Yi insisted.
Sometimes people get stuck in a stubborn cycle and can't get out.
When Wen Yi finally realizes that Gu Huaixu was right someday in the future, it will be too late.
...
The next day.
The publicity for the start of filming for Wen Ge's first leading role was extensive.
ES is keen to promote Wen Ge, casting Yan Li, a movie star with both popularity and acting skills, as the male lead for Wen Ge, and the second female lead is Lin Manqing, a queen of popularity. This drama is bound to attract a lot of attention.
As long as Wen Ge maintains a consistent output, she's bound to become popular.
lounge.
Wen Ge had just finished her makeup, and Xia Xiaomeng was with her.
When Wen Yi pushed open the door and entered, she asked the makeup artist to leave. Her expression was serious. "Wen Ge, there's something I need to tell you."
