Chapter 251 Sleepless Island
This video was posted by a newly registered account. When you click on the progress bar, the once beautiful woman is now bare-faced and looks ashen. Just by looking at her appearance, you can imagine what kind of life she has been living recently.
She bowed to the camera: "Hello everyone, I am Vania Yu Xingtong. It has been one month and ten days since my account was banned. After reflecting on this period of time, I have deeply realized my mistakes."
“I met Mr. Xia Mian at Spring Fashion Week. During a work session, I overheard Mr. Xia Mian talking to staff about family topics. It was a public place, and I assumed Mr. Xia wouldn't mind, so I didn't try to avoid it. Later, during the recording of a variety show, the whole team got along very well, and I started to treat Mr. Xia as a friend. I became more and more casual in my speech, and I even revealed his family situation in my Vlog without any restraint.”
"Of course, I know that these are not reasons for me to leak other people's privacy. The damage has already been done, and any further explanation is futile. So today, I'm posting this video to apologize to Mr. Xia. Xia Mian, I'm sorry."
"I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just hope you can get rid of the trouble I've caused you as soon as possible. Once again, I'm sorry."
After she finished speaking, she bowed deeply to the camera, and the video ended there.
While it's called a clarification, it would be more accurate to call it an "apology video," as the entire video revolves around apologizing to Xia Mian, with sincere words and a proper attitude.
Moreover, the fact that she didn't speak out immediately after the incident, but waited a full month and ten days, shows that she was genuinely reflecting on the situation.
That's definitely what the public thinks.
Sure enough, when Xia Mian opened the comments section below the video, netizens said:
I thought this matter would quietly fade away, but I didn't expect Yu Xingtong to apologize. There are too many celebrities who rely on time to quell public opinion these days; I applaud Yu Xingtong's attitude.
So Xia Mian said in public that she wanted a divorce? Then Yu Xingtong did nothing wrong. She just wanted to gain some traffic by revealing information. She didn't fabricate any facts. Why is there such a big reaction?
[The platform is also acting strangely, inexplicably banning accounts]
[All are extremely sensitive skin types]
[Haha, one minute you say you treat guests as friends, the next you expose their unhappy marriages. Is this how you supermodels treat your friends? I get it.]
[Your attitude was very good, so I won't scold you for now because of your figure. Just don't do it again, okay?]
What?! Xia Mian is really getting a divorce?! But her husband specifically came out to clarify that they weren't divorced!
[Naive! There's no truth in the capital market. Are you going to take responsibility if the stock price drops? Even if they're really divorced, they'll have to pretend they aren't!]
[I agree with the comment above. Besides, you should have your own judgment about whether you're divorced or not. After going through the betrothal ceremony for so long without holding a wedding, what are the chances of it being true love?]
[...]
Sitting in the luxurious private room, Xia Mian leaned back in her chair and scrolled through comments. With each comment, she silently thought to herself: Just as I expected.
Sure enough, netizens easily forgave Yu Xingtong because of her attitude. And sure enough, everyone's attention was successfully diverted to whether she was divorced or not.
Xia Mian knew why Yu Xingtong only apologized more than a month later. In the recording studio, he did indeed use words like "divorce," and she was waiting for the news of his divorce to be released, at which point the public opinion would crumble on its own.
Unfortunately, she didn't live to see it.
Feelings are always changing in an instant.
In Xia Mian's opinion, Yu Xingtong's little tricks wouldn't cause him any real harm, and he didn't take her vlogs seriously at all. However, Zhou Pingchuan couldn't stand it, so he could only silently accept it.
"Ladies and gentlemen..." Just then, the auctioneer appeared with a smile and announced the official start of the auction. Xia Mian quickly put away her phone, intending to indulge in some shopping to soothe her weary soul.
The auctioneer, who had previously won the "white glove" award, moved quickly, and after a few brief introductions, presented the first item.
...Damn! It was a unique watch that he had always been interested in! Xia Mian was extremely excited and kept raising his paddle, eventually selling it for 55 million.
The second item was a tie clip, featuring 36 diamonds, each no less than one carat, enclosing a 12-carat pear-shaped red diamond, dazzlingly beautiful. Xia Mian has always loved colored diamonds, and this particular diamond, with its impressive presence yet understated elegance, perfectly suited his taste, and he acquired it for less than four million.
The first two items were exciting enough, but also painful enough. Xia Mian decided to observe the next item first before making a purchase. He took a sip of water and opened the auction catalog.
Suddenly, I realized that the first two items were not included!
...What's going on? Did he go to the wrong venue?
Xia Mian called over a waiter and carefully checked. The waiter said he hadn't gone to the wrong place. He then asked the waiter why the auction items didn't match the catalog. The waiter smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I'm not in charge of planning, so I don't know."
Okay then.
Since it wasn't time to make payment, even if there were problems, they wouldn't be able to steal his money, so he decided to wait and see.
But then, the items being auctioned became increasingly strange, starting to take a bizarre turn.
Yachts, private jets—items previously only seen at judicial auctions—were brought to the auction table one by one, but of course, they weren't the actual objects, but rather photographs.
These items have no collectible value and can be ordered anytime as long as you have enough money. Xia Mian wasn't interested at first, until the auctioneer announced an unbelievably cheap price.
It's brand new!
Summer Sleep was instantly conflicted.
He had been using Zhou Pingchuan's plane and actually really wanted to own his own so he could have more freedom. But after much deliberation, he reluctantly gave up the idea, and unfortunately, both items failed to sell.
Next came several sets of haute couture men's suits and a pair of men's wedding rings, all brand new and unopened.
I'd only ever seen summer clothing at charity auctions before, and I couldn't help but think to myself, "This is practically a wedding sale now," before quietly buying it.
Because those suits were exactly his size, and the styles suited his taste perfectly, he could keep them to wear to future events. As for the wedding rings... he wanted to give them to Zhou Pingchuan as a gift.
When they got their marriage certificate, Zhou Pingchuan bought a pair of wedding rings. At the time, their feelings for each other were not clear enough, and after wearing them for a few days, they both took them off without prior arrangement.
They bought these wedding rings after they became a couple, and in a sense, they are a symbol of their love.
He was quite looking forward to seeing Zhou Pingchuan wearing it.
Xia Mian thought that turning an antique auction into a wedding special was outrageous enough, but little did she know that this auction had no limit to how outrageous it could get!
In the very end, the auctioneer actually played a video of an island, announcing that he was going to auction it off publicly!
This island is located in French Polynesia, where the water is crystal clear and azure, like minty sparkling water in summer, and just looking at it is refreshing.
Even more amazing is that its name is L'le sans sommeil.
Sleepless Island.
