As Yu Xiangwan walked out of the airport terminal, she immediately spotted the ice-berry pink Taycan and Jiang Hexi, who was sitting in the driver's seat waving at her.
She took off her sunglasses and walked over with a "clack clack clack" in her high heels.
"Xi-mei, where are you arranging for me to stay?"
"My family's schedule for the next few days is all arranged. I guarantee we'll take good care of you."
Yu Xiangwan opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, instructing her, "Then what are we waiting for? Drive."
Jiang Hexi stepped on the gas and drove the convertible sports car out of the airport in a stylish manner.
When Ms. Zhou saw that a guest had arrived, she warmly welcomed Yu Xiangwan with fruit platters, snacks, and tea.
"Wanwan, just tell Auntie what you want to eat, and Auntie will have Sister Song prepare it for you tonight."
“Auntie, Ximei and I are family, you don’t need to be so polite with me,” Yu Xiangwan said warmly.
Ms. Zhou assumed that she was just shy and embarrassed to bring it up, and took it upon herself to say:
"I've sent someone to run errands and buy Ah-Xi's favorite snacks from the old street. They'll be delivered in a bit. Tonight, I'll have Sister Song cook a table of authentic Hong Kong-style Cantonese dishes. Try them and see if they suit your taste."
Jiang Hexi advised, "Mom, you'll scare Wanwan if you do this."
Ms. Zhou glared at her, warning her not to talk nonsense, and continued, "Wanwan, do you want to sleep alone tonight, or with Axi?"
Yu Xiangwan: "I'm with Ximei."
Ms. Zhou immediately urged Jiang Hexi, "Don't you have any idea how messy your room is? Go upstairs and tidy up your room."
Jiang Hexi had long been scolded into submission and obediently went upstairs to tidy up.
Yu Xiangwan chuckled and said, "Auntie, when Ximei and I go to the countryside, we sometimes sleep in the same room. It's okay if it's a bit messy."
“I know you and Ah-Xi are close.”
Ms. Zhou looked at her gratefully and said, "Over the years, you are the only close friend that Ah Xi has ever brought home."
Yu Xiangwan asked in surprise, "Xi-mei is so likable, how could she..."
"It was because she was so likable that she was secretly targeted by her friends in high school."
Ms. Zhou still couldn't help but feel heartbroken when she talked about those past events:
“There are only a dozen or so prominent families in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and there are only a few second-generation kids of Ah-Xi’s age. At first, they got along very well, but later all the boys fell in love with Ah-Xi, and the other girls were unhappy.”
"They huddled together for warmth and talked badly about Ah-Xi behind her back. Fortunately, Ah-Ze found out about it and stepped in to settle things with them. That's why Ah-Xi teased her two brothers as paraquat."
"This child is very perceptive. She actually knows everything. Once her defenses are raised, she finds it hard to trust people and makes it difficult to make friends. So I'm really happy that you could come."
Yu Xiangwan understood the earnest expectation in her eyes. "Auntie, I will definitely come often when I have time."
Ms. Zhou smiled and agreed, "That would be wonderful."
"Wanwan, the room is ready, come up quickly."
Jiang Hexi, unaware of what they were saying downstairs so happily, leaned against the railing and called out.
"Auntie, I'll go upstairs to put my luggage away first."
After saying goodbye to Ms. Zhou, Yu Xiangwan picked up her backpack and went upstairs.
She toured the room's walk-in closet and enormous bathroom, inquired about the itinerary for the next two days, and upon hearing that the NK makeup and styling team would be hired, her expression changed slightly.
"This makeup and styling team has a good reputation, but their actual skills are far inferior to those trendy styling studios."
"We definitely need to dress up for the dinner party."
Jiang Hexi insisted, "It is said that there is a gap between celebrities and ordinary people. If you are not good-looking enough, then you should work on your makeup and styling. If NK doesn't work, then you should try another agency."
Yu Xiangwan has participated in the recording of many variety shows, so she can be considered a semi-celebrity.
Among the makeup and styling teams she had met, there was one studio from Shenzhen and Hong Kong that, although not well-known, had top-notch skills:
"Then let's switch to Mikimori Styling Studio."
After making the decision, the two went to the Sanmu Sen Studio on Nanxi Street in the afternoon to discuss the cooperation.
The front desk staff warmly welcomed them.
While waiting, Jiang Hexi flipped through the promotional photos in the Sanmu Sen brochure. The makeup was fresh and elegant, and each look perfectly accentuated the model's facial features. The more she looked, the more interesting she found it.
"I'm sorry I'm late, I've kept you waiting."
Following the gentle voice, Jiang Hexi met the beautiful smile of the newcomer. She was completely stunned, losing all composure. Wasn't this her sister-in-law?!
To be precise, she was the former "eldest sister-in-law".
Her older brother had several girlfriends before, but none of them lasted long. None of them made it to the point of meeting her, his sister-in-law, before breaking up with her.
Si Xiao is the only woman who has met her sister-in-law and kept her older brother single for two years.
After exchanging pleasantries with Si Xiao, Yu Xiangwan introduced her to Jiang Hexi:
"Si Xiao, the founder of Sanmu Sen Styling Studio, and this is Xi Mei, you should know her."
"Yes, I know her. I'm a big fan of Ximei. Whenever I have time, I watch the live broadcast of the farming variety show."
Si Xiao vaguely defined their relationship, preventing Jiang Hexi from feeling awkward.
The three people sat around a round table and discussed the cooperation.
Jiang Hexi stated her request to participate in the charity gala and talk shows.
Si Xiao said knowingly, "Keeping a low profile will only embolden our rivals. I support you in standing up and putting them down. Clearly, 'Let's Farm, Rich Second Generation' is the hottest variety show of the year, bar none. How can we let our rivals steal the spotlight from you?"
