Chapter 30 West Lake Old Dragon Well
The Xia family's family reunion banquet was quite grand, which Song Shiwei hadn't expected.
Song Shiwei looked at the city's largest banquet hotel, at its luxurious design, and at the guests coming and going.
He thought to himself, "Won't this drive Xia Zhiqing crazy?"
Old Master Xia ordered someone to make a dress for Song Shiwei in advance. It was a champagne-colored, fitted dress that perfectly showcased Song Shiwei's figure.
Song Shiwei looked at herself transforming from a country bumpkin into a princess and asked the stylist a question.
"Since you've given me this dress, you can do whatever you want with it, right?"
I heard it's worth eight figures. If she sells it on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace), wouldn't that be another small fortune? She's a genius!
"Yes, Miss Xia."
She felt uncomfortable when others called her Miss Xia; she thought her original surname was quite nice.
On stage, Old Master Xia announced that the true daughter of the Xia family was Song Shiwei.
But it was also mentioned that Xia Zhiqing is also a daughter of the Xia family, and they have a relationship of more than 20 years, which is thicker than blood.
Xia's parents were still quite reserved around Song Shiwei, and spent most of their time hovering around Xia Zhiqing.
Xia Zhiqing didn't throw a tantrum today; instead, she took the initiative to pull Song Shiwei along, as if the two were very close friends.
"Yes, Auntie, Weiwei is also in the entertainment industry. You haven't seen her much, have you? Hahaha, because she's not famous yet and doesn't have any representative works."
"Yes, Uncle, the one who went crazy online and was attacked by haters a while ago was Weiwei. After all, no one has taught her how to behave properly over the years."
"Sister-in-law, this is Weiwei. She's about my age, but she doesn't have a career yet. I'll definitely help her a lot in the future, after all, we're family."
Song Shiwei watched Xia Zhiqing pull her into acting, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Do you know what West Lake Longjing tea tastes like? It tastes like you."
Then Song Shiwei grabbed Xia Zhiqing, put on a bright and generous smile, and instantly outshone the bland Xia Zhiqing.
"Auntie, Zhiqing is still amazing. Her acting skills haven't improved at all over the years, and she doesn't have any outstanding works, but she still has so many fans praising her."
"Uncle, you may not understand the entertainment industry. Many of the people who criticize me are Zhiqing's fans. You know, she's really something. We're family, why can't we just say things to each other's faces instead of doing this?"
"Sister-in-law, don't let Zhiqing's young age fool you, she's got a real kung fu vibe. Her voice is so strong, netizens call her a green tea baby. I have to learn from Zhiqing in that respect, I can't fake it at all, hahaha."
Xia Zhiqing's face turned ashen, and she looked at Song Shiwei with a gloomy gaze.
"Song Shiwei, you have a lot of scandals and no real works, what right do you have to talk to me like that!"
"Really? But Weiwei's fans are all die-hard fans. She has also taken on a role in Director Dong's 'Novoland: The Moon,' and everyone will soon see her talent."
Chi Yanzhou appeared out of nowhere, dressed in a black fitted suit, impeccably tailored, with silver roses embroidered on the collar.
He walked over from behind, raised his arm and put it around Song Shiwei like two brothers, winked at the shocked Xia Zhiqing, and smiled.
"Brother Yanzhou, what did you say? Director Dong chose Song Shiwei for his film?!"
"Yes, the cast will be announced tonight."
"impossible!"
Xia Zhiqing frowned deeply, her eyes filled with disbelief, "Song Shiwei doesn't even have a representative work, what can she do!"
"Director Dong's films always judge actors by their ability to develop their characters, so Weiwei's selection shows that she is indeed talented."
Chi Yanzhou meant what he said sincerely.
He was also shocked when he learned that Song Shiwei had passed the audition.
Song Shiwei had never acted before, and her complete lack of experience suggests that she likely has no special talents.
But unexpectedly, she successfully acted in Director Dong's film on her very first try, which was a very high starting point.
"See? My strength is miles ahead of yours. That little green tea is still here basking in my tea-scented charm. Go back and train!"
Song Shiwei crossed her arms, her eyes filled with disdain; she really looked down on Xia Zhiqing.
I still don't know how someone with this kind of character became the female lead.
Xia Zhiqing stomped her foot in anger and left. Her parents saw this and quickly followed her.
Song Shiwei withdrew her gaze, showing no particular feeling, her expression calm.
She lowered her head, ate the small cake on the table with her fork, and looked at Chi Yanzhou who had suddenly appeared.
What brings you here?
“Of course, someone from a distinguished family like mine is among those invited.”
“The prestigious families should hurry up and pay me my salary; we’re about to starve.”
Song Shiwei bought a lot of things for her new home yesterday, which made her already struggling family even worse off.
Chi Yanzhou frowned, puzzled. "You're a rich young lady now, why would you be short of money?"
"Yeah, you'd think a family this big would throw hundreds of millions in my face and tell me I couldn't come home until I spent it all! But they didn't give me a single penny! Not a single penny!!!"
Song Shiwei moved closer to Chi Yanzhou, and the two of them, like old ladies at the village entrance, began to chat.
"So stingy?! I never expected that!"
"There are many things you wouldn't expect! Yesterday, my idiot older brother came to me and asked if I could leave the entertainment industry."
Because his younger sister, Zhiqing, wants to be the only princess in the entertainment industry, do you think he's lost his mind?
“She’s become a little princess, so what am I?” Chi Yanzhou said unhappily.
"They're going to fight you for top billing."
"Have Shengtian terminate her contract tomorrow."
"Our company's talent scouts are terrible, why do they pick up all sorts of trash?" Song Shiwei complained.
"I'll deal with them when we get back."
"Wait, something's not right."
Song Shiwei looked puzzled. "Do you think Xia Zhiqing is like Biluochun tea, or do you just think she's cute?"
"What kind of stupid question is that?" Chi Yanzhou looked at him with an expression that said, "You're insulting me."
Song Shiwei stroked her chin, wondering why the plot wasn't going as expected.
Shouldn't Chi Yanzhou and Xia Zhiqing be head over heels in love by now?
Could it be that her time travel caused the system to malfunction, resulting in some people developing self-awareness? Or has the plot started to develop randomly?
It's possible. If this trend continues, nobody knows what will happen in the future.
Song Shiwei narrowed her eyes, like a cunning and treacherous minister, as if she were about to give orders.
No matter how things change, her goal remains the same—
Make money, and support a sugar daddy!
