Chapter 62 Return to Hong Kong City
One day after work, Yu Yin returned to Hushan Villa and saw Zhao Xiyan sitting in the side hall, complaining to Zhou Yi in a depressed and sad tone. Zhao Xiyan did not stay at the villa this time when she came to the capital, but came here specially today.
"Why are you unhappy?" Yu Yin sat casually on the sofa.
When she asked this, Zhao Xiyan's face became even more depressed. "Have you seen Jiawen's latest vlog?"
"not yet."
"Then don't watch it. Her fans said it was great that I didn't appear. They said some bad things about me in the comment section. I feel like a failure and no one likes me." Zhao Xiyan's tears flowed.
"Actually, it has nothing to do with you. Fans definitely prefer to see their idols. When they see their idols having a small conflict with someone, they will stand up for them, but if they continue to have close contact with this person afterwards, they will be so angry that they will stop being fans and even curse the idols. This kind of liking comes with a desire for control, but if you choose this line of work, you have to accept it." Yu Yin handed her a tissue.
"Thank you." Zhao Xiyan took a tissue and wiped her tears. "Then I won't show up so often, or I'll get scolded by fans for helping Jiawen out of kindness. Actually, Jiawen is just riding on the popularity, so why do so many people like her?"
"Her situation is different from yours. Her celebrity cousin personally brought her on the show. The audience for the vlog is incomparable to that of the show. If many people watch it, of course many people like her. And it's not just her fans who watch it."
"It's so complicated. I don't think I'm cut out for this. It makes me feel bad when I see people scolding me."
"I don't think you're suitable either."
Zhao Xiyan was shocked by Yu Yin's directness and said a little aggrievedly: "You could have told me more tactfully."
"Do you feel comfortable when you are with Jiawen? Even if there are some conflicts, she can resolve them naturally."
Zhao Xiyan thought about it carefully and said, "Hmm...it seems so."
"There will definitely be people who dislike her and say bad things about her, but if she overcomes it, she'll be very suitable for this line of work. Just look at the difference between you and Jiawen and you'll understand. It's not that you're bad, it's just that you're not suitable."
Although Ms. Jian and Zhao Yunli didn't have high hopes for Zhao Xiyan, they doted on her. Their status within the Zhao family was high, so no one would neglect her. Zhao Xiyan wasn't deeply involved in the family's financial disputes. She had a more privileged upbringing than Shang Jiawen, and she had a more mature temperament and didn't like to be wronged.
Zhao Xiyan was comforted by Yu Yin, and her depressed mood dissipated a lot. She moved to sit next to Yu Yin and whispered in his ear, "My mommy said that Grandpa changed the family trust, and I don't know when it will be announced. You must keep it a secret, and don't even tell my eldest brother."
This was something Zhao Xiyan overheard accidentally. When Ms. Jian discovered it, she repeatedly urged her to keep it secret. Zhao Yunli had spent a lot of time to find out the details of the changes to the trust, but they didn't know where. As a reward for comforting her, she told Yu Yin.
Yu Yin's heartbeat quickened upon hearing this. She wondered if Zhao Xinzhi knew about this. She had heard a little about the commotion he'd stirred up within the Liang Group, and her opinion of it wasn't very favorable. Zhao Xinzhi had been determined to acquire the Liang Group, only to be thwarted by Zhao Shunian. After that, he acted as if he was determined to bring the Liang Group down. Was Zhao Xinzhi unhappy about this?
Yu Yin's thoughts were turning in circles. Based on her understanding of him, he must have planted someone in Zhao Xinzhi's place, and he might not be unaware of this.
Moreover, when the scanner hit rock bottom and was almost bankrupt and liquidated, Zhao Shunian did his best to pull it back and turn the tide.
He had spent a lot of effort to seize such a huge bargaining chip from the Liang Group. There was no reason for him to throw it away. It was not like him to throw away the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds.
After a while, Yu Yin's accelerated heartbeat calmed down. Zhao Shunian didn't need her to worry about him. "I will definitely not tell anyone. I will keep it a secret." She and Zhao Xiyan smiled at each other.
Then they discussed what birthday present to get grandpa.
Not long after, Shang Jiawen sent a message to Zhao Xiyan to apologize, saying that she did not see the comment section in time and did not know that this would happen.
Zhao Xiyan and Yu Yin discussed how to better reply to Shang Jiawen. After discussing for a while, she and Shang Jiawen generously said that it was okay, and replied with some words of thanks that were not awkward and genuine.
Zhao Xiyan's enthusiasm for entering the entertainment industry has plummeted. Just as Yu Yin said, she's not suitable. Right now, she's just testing the waters. She can't handle the comments, and she'll be even more unbearable when she encounters more malicious comments later.
………
In early July, Yu Yin returned to Hong Kong after six months, and she came back with Zhao Xiyan. Zhao Shunian was not at home, having gone on a business trip abroad.
After the incident six months ago, the relationship between Yu Yin and Ms. Li was just superficial. Ms. Li became much more friendly towards Yu Yin.
On the day Yu Yin returned, Ms. Li asked about her recent situation and her previous hospitalization. Yu Yin also cooperated with her and responded to her questions one by one. As for what she said, it was definitely a mixture of truth and falsehood.
Ms. Jian watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from the side and wondered when their relationship had improved. She began to wonder what kind of wife Zhao Jinian would find when he got married, and what kind of mother-in-law he would treat her like.
Mrs. Lian served tea to Yu Yin. "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed that Yu Yin had been ill before. He looked very healthy."
"Thank you, grandma." Yu Yin took the teacup. "That illness took a toll on my body. I've put a lot of effort into recuperating. Hearing you praise me like that puts me at ease. It proves the recuperation is working."
The group seemed to be chatting happily, but Ms. Jian mentioned something that made the surface harmony seem a little shaky. "I almost forgot one thing. My aunt is planning to hold an incense seal salon, and she specifically asked us to go together. Xiyan, if you and your sister-in-law are two days late in coming back, I will call you to urge you to come back for the salon."
"Xiangzhuan Salon? I don't think it's very suitable for young people like us. Sister-in-law, Yvonne, don't you think so?" Zhao Xiyan picked up a piece of fruit and ate it.
Ms. Jian poked Zhao Xiyan's forehead with her finger and said, "I don't know how appropriate it is. You should meet those elders more often, let them know you and know how good you are."
Zhao Xiyan kept her mouth shut and did not refute Ms. Jian. She understood that the Xiangzhuan Salon had another meaning, and she also knew why Ms. Jian attached importance to this salon and why she started to consider her marriage.
Zhao Yunxin said: "I don't think I've ever attended this kind of salon, but it wouldn't hurt to go."
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Ms. Jian's expression was not right. She subconsciously looked at Mrs. Lian, but Mrs. Lian ignored her as if she didn't see her. She felt a little wronged.
Ms. Li did not say anything, but ate the fruit with her eyes and nose focused, and she also picked up a piece of apple with another fork and handed it to Yu Yin.
Yu Yin ate her apple silently. She understood that when Ms. Jian said "all go together," it only meant the first wife's family. Her aunt was Zhao Yunbin and Zhao Yunli's aunt, their mother's sister-in-law, so it made sense for her not to invite the second and third wives.
But Ms. Jane did not explain it very clearly, which might be intentional. She wanted to use this to hurt Mrs. Lian and make her feel uncomfortable.
Ms. Jian did not get along with Mrs. Lian and Mrs. Zhou. One of the reasons was that they had moved into the old house and occupied half of the west building. They wanted to take advantage of the situation and coax Zhao Xinzhi into fighting for the property.
