The moment Ye Yingying saw the gift, her mood was like riding a roller coaster downhill, plummeting from the highest point to the lowest.
Although she knew the gift was from Ye Zhiwei, Ye Yingying still didn't like it very much.
The scheming high school senior, nicknamed "Green Tea Sister," held the exercise books and prepared herself emotionally. She was already thinking about how to use her superb acting skills to tell Ye Zhiwei that although she liked them, she really didn't need to give her so many exercise books.
There was a whole box of problems, and Ye Yingying felt that she might not even finish all the practice questions by the end of her senior year of high school.
The matter wasn't over yet. Ye Yingying flipped through the files and found that there were all the monthly exams for the six subjects of the college entrance examination, with the addresses already filled in. They would be delivered to the schools every month, and there were contact numbers on them. If Ye Yingying needed them delivered to the film crew, she could contact them.
Ye Yingying stood alone in front of the exam papers and workbooks, silently processing the gifts she had received.
Ji Shuli happened to be coming downstairs. She hadn't eaten much the night before and woke up hungry this morning. She was going to go to the kitchen to see if there was any breakfast ready, but instead she saw a big box in front of Ye Yingying.
Ji Shuli then remembered, "Oh right, today is this little girl's birthday."
What's in this big box?
Ji Shuli went over to take a look and was shocked to find the entire box filled with exercise books. It was truly horrifying. He was stunned. "Did you offend someone? Sending this on my birthday, how much do they hate you? If I received this kind of stuff on my birthday..."
Ye Yingying interrupted Ji Shuli first, saying calmly, "It was a gift from Sister Zhiwei."
Originally, I thought it might be my uncle or the girl's mother, but I never expected that the person who sent this would be my little cousin. All my words were swallowed back to the middle of the room. Ji Shuli coughed and said, "No, you didn't offend anyone. The person who sent you these must hate that you don't have a bright future. Don't be so superficial. These things may seem like practice questions, but if you think about it deeper, they are actually your future. My little cousin's gifts are so thoughtful and touching."
Ye Yingying: ...
When Song Min came downstairs, she saw her daughter and Young Master Ji gathered around a box. It was a rare moment for her to remember that it was Ye Yingying's birthday. Although she had gradually grown distant from her daughter since joining the Ye family, Song Min wanted to make Ye Yingying happy today.
She had previously visited a famous Buddhist holy site in the southern part of the city and had also gotten a peace charm for Ye Yingying. The peace charm was quite interesting, with a small bell attached. She went downstairs to greet Ji Shuli, then turned to Ye Yingying and said, "Come here, Yingying, Mom got you a peace charm. I hope everything goes smoothly for our Yingying from now on. Happy birthday."
She lived well in the Ye family. Without her stepdaughter's harassment, the Ye family gradually accepted her, who was neither competitive nor greedy. She devoted herself to Ye Qingcheng and cared for him more than she cared for her daughter.
Ye Yingying seemed surprised that Song Min would remember her birthday. She and Song Min had gradually become estranged. She knew her mother's personality. The best thing Song Min had ever done for her was to bring her into the Ye family with her.
She politely said to Song Min, "Thank you, Mom."
Accepting amulets for protection seems to be merely a matter of courtesy.
Song Min was momentarily embarrassed. She looked at her daughter with a complicated expression for a while, then glanced at the box of gifts next to her and took the initiative to start a conversation: "Who sent these workbooks? There are so many..."
Ye Yingying, who had been distant, was much more cheerful now. Although she had mixed feelings, she couldn't help but show off to Song Min, "Sister Zhiwei gave me the latest practice questions and monthly test papers, all of which were specially chosen for me."
Song Min: There was an air of pride in his tone.
Song Min said a few more words, feeling really awkward, and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and see if I can make you some longevity noodles and eggs."
Ji Shuli politely stopped Song Min and said with a smile, "Aunt Song, Zhiwei already instructed the kitchen to make it yesterday, so you don't need to make another trip."
Song Min stopped in her tracks. She couldn't quite connect with the children, and after a while, she said, "Then I'll go upstairs and see if Qingcheng has gotten up yet."
Song Min then left, and on the way she ran into Ye Zhiwei, who had just gotten up. Ye Zhiwei greeted Song Min when she saw her, and Song Min smiled back, but quickened her pace to go upstairs.
Why does Song Min look so heartbroken?
As soon as Ye Zhiwei went downstairs, she saw Ye Yingying and Ji Shuli gathered around the large box she had given her.
"Little Yingying~" Miss Ye said with a rather smug tone, "How about it? Isn't my gift good? You can't neglect your studies while filming, so take some of these with you to the set. If you're bored, flip through your books and do some exercises. How diligent and hardworking you are! You have to be different from others. I've already set your sights on you: a future all-around female artist. Study hard, act well, and we'll see if you should learn some violin or piano sometime..."
Ye Zhiwei has already planned out Ye Yingying's future development path, which even her agency hasn't yet figured out, completely forgetting that she was initially furious because of a hater's comment that Ye Yingying's college entrance exam results were absolutely terrible.
How is my positioning?
Ji Shuli suppressed a laugh, "The positioning is good, the positioning is good, but do you really think being an all-around artist is that simple? Do you really think your little sister Yingying can do everything..."
Ye Zhiwei glanced at Ye Yingying, gave a soft snort, and linked arms with Ye Yingying: "I just think she'll be good at everything in the future!"
Ye Zhiwei's affirmation and encouraging words were like a spark to Ye Yingying, igniting her passion. Ye Yingying nodded in agreement with everything Ye Zhiwei said, "Yes, Sister Zhiwei, I will do my best!"
Ji Shuli couldn't help but shake her head. Ye Yingying, who was described by her agent as mature and sensible, and not as lively and composed as she was for her age, still seemed like a little girl in front of Ye Zhiwei.
After finishing the breakfast prepared for Ye Yingying, it was getting late. Yu Shishu was very strict about time and did not allow artists to be late, so many artists would rather arrive at the film set early than arrive on time.
Ji Shuli then personally drove the two of them to the film set, and stopped by to say hello to Yu Shishu on the way.
As soon as Ye Yingying arrived, she was taken to the dressing room to get her makeup done.
Ye Zhiwei followed Ji Shuli to see the filming location. Yu Shishu was personally directing the interior layout, but seemed to feel that something was missing. He frowned, looked for something, and asked the staff next to him.
"Director Yu, I think I put the vase on that table over there." The staff member pointed to the spot where Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli were.
Yu Shishu walked over and seemed to be stunned when he saw the two people standing in front of the table. He tightened his grip and said to Ye Zhiwei, "Give me the vase behind you."
Ye Zhiwei immediately handed the vase on the table behind her to Yu Shishu.
Yu Shishu took the vase. Although he tried to remain calm and composed as he usually was when filming, his ears turned red, and then the redness spread from his ears to his face.
Yu Shishu, who had been looking fierce, suddenly became gentle.
He seemed to realize the change in his expression, and immediately took a few steps back, keeping a distance from Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shu, before returning to the film crew to direct the arrangements, without saying another word to the two of them.
"Director Yu's personality is really so complex." Ye Zhiwei whispered to Ji Shuli on tiptoe, "Cousin, look, he's blushing again."
