So, after going around in circles, Xu Ziqing brought the topic back and said, "I've been thinking about quitting my job in Haicheng and going back to Fengcheng."
Shi Xu said, "Haven't you been taking on a lot of entertainment industry gigs lately? Why don't you just quit your job and get into the entertainment industry?"
After participating in a dating reality show, Xu Ziqing gained some fame and then received invitations to participate in some small variety shows and advertisements.
Xu Ziqing paused for a moment and said, "I just went to the entertainment industry for fun, I never thought about developing a career in it."
"Shi Xi, did you hear that? There's no future in the entertainment industry. Hurry up and finish your fun and come back." Shi Xu steered the conversation towards Shi Xi.
"I still have several female lead scripts in my hands, how could I not have a future?" Shi Xi muttered to herself.
Chronology: "What are you saying?"
"Mind your own business when it comes to pretty girls!" Shi Xi quickly shoveled a few chicken wings into her bowl and said, "I'm going back to my room to eat, bye!"
Others: ...
Due to some interruptions in the schedule, Xu Ziqing's plan to join the Shi family ultimately came to nothing.
After dinner, Shi Xu saw Xu Ziqing off.
On the way, Xu Ziqing asked, "Brother Shi, do you not like me?"
Shi Xu said indifferently, "We've only known each other for less than a week, so it's hard to say whether we like each other or not."
I just don't like it.
Xu Ziqing bit her lower lip. "Brother Shi, if you don't want to be engaged to me, I can talk to Grandpa Shi and ask him to cancel our engagement. It's the 21st century now, and this kind of arranged marriage idea should be abolished."
Timeline: "Okay, you can talk to them tomorrow. I'll wait for your reply."
Xu Ziqing: ?!
Why are you not playing by the rules?!
Shouldn't Shi Xu have felt that she was extraordinary at this moment and treated her with utmost care?!
"Then I'll go see Grandpa Shi tomorrow." Xu Ziqing could only go along with it.
"I'll go with you." Shi Xu was afraid that if Xu Ziqing went alone, she would turn around and accuse him.
Xu Ziqing frantically tried to figure out what she could do to turn back time.
Now, the only option is to retreat in order to advance!
"By the way, I saw that Shi Xi is still staying at the Shi family's house." Xu Ziqing continued to try and start a conversation. "She seems to have a very good relationship with you guys."
“Although Xixi is not my biological sister, she has been in the Shi family for more than ten years, and we have developed a kinship.” When talking about Shi Xi, Shi Xu’s eyes softened.
Xu Ziqing gritted her teeth inwardly.
She doesn't like Shi Xi.
Xu Ziqing thought that Shi Xi, the fake heiress, would be disliked in the Shi family, but she didn't expect that the Shi family would still dote on this fake heiress from top to bottom!
"But your younger sister has already been found, hasn't she?" Xu Ziqing asked innocently. "Why didn't Shi Xi go back to her old home?"
“That place is too remote, Xixi goes back there occasionally.” Shi Xu frowned slightly.
He had never been to Longquan Village, but he knew it was a three- or four-hour drive away.
“That’s true. Living in the countryside is nowhere near as comfortable as living in a city villa.” Xu Ziqing wanted to portray Shi Xi as a vain girl.
Shi Xu agreed, saying, "Yes, I don't understand why she wants to go to that home in the countryside."
Xu Ziqing: ?
All those provocative things I just said had absolutely no effect on you, right?
*
The Shi family.
After Shi Xi finished eating in the room and brought out the dishes, she saw that Xu Ziqing had already left.
"Shi Hong, I don't think our son likes Xu Ziqing." Shi's mother and father were discussing Shi Xu's marriage.
"If he doesn't like it, he should just say so. Nobody's forcing him to marry." Shi's father was extremely perfunctory about Shi Xu's marriage.
