In the box.
Xia Xinxin wore a simple, pure white cheongsam-style dress, and her hair was carefully braided into a plait that hung down to her shoulders.
Her eyes sparkled as she sat next to Xia Chen, pouting and acting coquettishly.
"Brother, you know, the scandals that Teacher Yu Lin exposed this time are huge. Many of his previous songs have been found to have problems. I originally sang a new song with him, but now we can't release it!"
“I even promoted my new song on Weibo before, and specifically mentioned him. Now look what happened, my Weibo post was ridiculed by many netizens, who said that I and he are the same kind of people!”
"The TV series can't be broadcast due to various issues, and I can't re-record the songs. I really need a new song to help me salvage my image!"
"Only you can help me now, please, brother!"
Xia Chen held his teacup, his posture calm and his face indifferent.
He took a sip of tea and gave Xia Xinxin, who was acting cute and coquettish, a cold glance.
Why do you think I would help you?
Do I think I'm a brainless person?
Would she help a father's illegitimate daughter?
Xia Chen's decision not to target Xia Xinxin within the industry is already a testament to his extreme restraint!
Xia Xinxin had a very high opinion of Xia Chen. She couldn't believe that her brother, who had doted on her for twenty years, would stand by and watch her suffer!
"Hey brother, I know you're still angry because I accidentally caused my cousin to fall into the sea, but I'm your sister too, why can't you help me?"
Xia Xinxin was thrown out of the Xia family. She hated Xia Chuyue, Xia Yao, and her aunt Xia Yan.
But she didn't hate her brother Xia Chen at all; instead, she felt that he was just temporarily blinded by Xia Chuyue!
and……
Xia Xinxin's eyes flickered. Thinking of Xia Chen's status as a top director, she already had a plan in mind.
Xia Chen almost laughed out of exasperation at Xia Xinxin.
To this day, Xia Xinxin still believes that Xia Chen's coldness and anger towards her are because she caused her cousin Xia Yi to fall into the sea and her fate is unknown.
But what she didn't know was that Xia Chen already knew she was Xie Yuanping's illegitimate daughter!
Xia Chen found it disgusting to even look at her with such a background!
"Don't call me brother. I only have one real sister, Chuyue."
Xia Chen pulled his sleeve away from Xia Xinxin's grasp and forcefully ordered her to leave.
"Please leave, or don't blame me for physically forcing you out!"
Xia Xinxin couldn't believe his tough and cold attitude. When she looked up, she saw Xia Chuyue pushing open the door of the private room and coming in.
"It's you again?! Xia Chuyue, why are you always haunting me?!"
Xia Xinxin jumped to her feet, furious.
Now, when she thinks about how she called Teacher Yu Lin during a live stream and was ridiculed by netizens, Xia Chuyue was watching the spectacle from the sidelines, and her eyes turned red with anger!
"Did you know all along that Yu Lin would get into trouble during the live stream? Why didn't you warn me? Were you just trying to see me make a fool of myself?!"
Xia Chuyue ignored her and walked into the private room, leisurely finding a seat.
"I had an appointment with my brother, so I came here. What about you? And why did you come?"
Xia Xinxin had no appointment with Xia Chen at all. She just used a little trick to find out that Xia Chen had booked a private room here, so she rushed over without a second thought.
"Mind your own business! My brother already said he'd help me get a theme song for a big hit movie! Your wish to see me fail!"
Xia Chen frowned, suspecting that Xia Xinxin couldn't understand human speech.
"I won't help you. I've already given this theme song to Chuyue."
Hearing Xia Chen say this, Xia Xinxin's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
"What?! You gave it to Xia Chuyue?!"
Xia Xinxin shifted her gaze to Xia Chuyue, clenching her teeth in anger.
"What right does she have?!"
Xia Chen had had enough of Xia Xinxin's crazy antics and slammed the teacup down.
"She's my own sister! Xia Xinxin, I'll say it again, if you don't want to offend me right now, you'd better get out of here immediately!"
When Xia Chen turned cold, his eyes seemed to be filled with hard, sharded ice, chillingly cold.
Xia Xinxin couldn't help but shiver, finally realizing belatedly that she was a little scared.
"I see."
She was still furious and glared at Xia Chuyue before leaving.
Just a second before stepping out of the private room, Xia Xinxin suddenly felt something was wrong, so she turned back and glanced at Shen Qing next to Xia Chuyue.
Shen Qing said on the show that he is Xia Chuyue's...cousin?
Isn't that my aunt's son?!
How could Aunt Xia Yan have a son?
Xia Xinxin thought of a possibility, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth began to turn up wildly.
It's certain that Xia Chuyue is dating this celebrity named Shen Qing. After netizens exposed this, in order not to affect Shen Qing's career, the two of them conspired to use the brother-sister trope to deceive the audience!
Xia Xinxin stood outside the private room and gave a smug laugh.
She's not one of those mindless netizens; she won't be easily fooled!
Thinking of this, Xia Xinxin found a corner, took out her phone, and called her aunt Xia Yan.
When Xia Yan saw that Xia Xinxin actually dared to call her, a cold glint appeared in her eyes, and she answered the call.
"You've got some nerve! Let me tell you, Xia Xinxin, you better be in trouble, or you'll be throwing yourself out of the Xia family!"
Xia Xinxin's humiliating experience of being thrown out of the Xia family was the greatest disgrace she had ever suffered in all these years.
Upon hearing Xia Yan's threat, Xia Xinxin involuntarily trembled.
However, she quickly calmed down.
“Auntie…Ms. Xia, I have something to discuss with you. Although I did do something wrong before, Xia Chuyue is no good either!”
Come check out Yuexiang Restaurant on Jinghe Road. Xia Chuyue has secretly recognized a cousin behind your back! She even swears they're blood relatives!
Xia Yan's feelings for Xia Chuyue were complicated.
She has a strong personality and knows that Xia Chuyue is not wrong, but it is difficult for her to bow her head and apologize to a junior.
Hearing Xia Xinxin's words, Xia Yan hesitated for a moment.
Xia Xinxin glanced at the private room and called out anxiously:
"If you don't believe me, just search it online! Xia Chuyue and Shen Qing both admitted it before! I'm doing this for your own good. It's one thing for Xia Chuyue to randomly claim relatives, but she's even dragging you into it. Isn't she just using you?"
Xia Yan pinched the bridge of her nose, already somewhat convinced.
Like her sister Xia Yao, she cares most about her child.
If anything involves her child, Xia Yan will go and see for herself even if she doesn't believe it.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Xinxin couldn't help but laugh out loud and found a nearby spot to wait and watch the show!
Xia Yan arrived quickly, reaching the door of the private room half an hour later.
She had already found the trending topics from a while ago on the way, and a surge of anger rose in her heart!
This Shen Qing actually dares to claim ties with the Xia family?!
Who gave him the courage?!
With that thought in mind, Xia Yan pushed open the door with a stern face.
