The Life of Mary Sue - Chapter 36

The next day is New Year’s Eve.

Cheng Xueyi was woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside in the morning.

After the Weibo was repaired last night, she slept until very late.

After being woken up, she forced her dry eyelids to open her eyes. The clock on the wall showed the time at a quarter past eight, and there was a faint smell of food in the room.

Since ancient times, sleeping has to be done in one go.

Once interrupted this state is difficult to reconnect.

She stared at the ceiling and blinked twice. After she was a little awake, she took off the quilt and put on her home clothes, and then walked out of the room on tiptoe.

In the kitchen, Cen Fang is cooking meat porridge.

She can’t stand for a long time now, so she sits in a wheelchair and watches the fire carefully, stirring the porridge in the pot from time to time. At first glance, her body is thin and thin, but it gives a gentle and kind feeling.

Cheng Xueyi seldom cooks since she moved here. Now that she is busy with work, she no longer has so much energy. Most of the time, she just grabs a bite and sometimes even stops eating to control her weight.

At this moment, there is a long-lost minced meat fragrance in the air, like the smell of a legendary home.

Cheng Xueyi’s heart was full of warmth, she walked over and hugged Cen Fang gently from behind: “I’ll do these things. Don’t be exhausted when you finally leave the hospital.”

“How can it be so easy to get tired?” Cen Fang turned her head slightly and patted her shoulder with a smile, “Why don’t you get enough sleep when you rarely rest?”

Cheng Xueyi pouted like a spoiled child, “The sound of firecrackers downstairs was so loud just now.”

Cen Fang glanced at the porridge in the pot, and it was almost ready. She smiled lovingly: “Then drink some porridge and then go to bed. I have to keep the year old tonight.”

As the biggest traditional festival, there is always a lot to do on this day.

It was already dark when Cheng Xueyi put the house in order, the couplets were pasted, and the ingredients for the New Year’s Eve were ready.

At eight o’clock, the Spring Festival Gala also arrived as scheduled.

Cheng Xueyi and Cen Fang sat in the living room together while watching the Spring Festival Gala and making dumplings.

I have been in the entertainment industry for more than half a year, and when I watch the Spring Festival Gala, I find that there are not too many familiar faces.

She rambled on to Cen Fang about gossip and interesting things at work.

After a while, I came out to sing.

Shi Yi was also invited to the Spring Festival Gala this year to sing with a popular female singer.

Today, he wore a festive red suit very fittingly. His skin was originally white, and wearing bright colors did not violate the harmony at all. It was really good to see the sky burst.

So Cheng Xueyi stretched out her white-faced hand, pointed at Shi Yi and said, “Mom, look, this is the hero of my next play.”

Cen Fang looked up and couldn’t help but praise: “Yo, the guy is really handsome.”

At the same time, the Xu family also gathered around the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

When Shiyi appeared, Xu Jianing shouted excitedly: “Look, look! Second brother is out!”

After all, the Spring Festival Gala is an extraordinary stage, and it is a great recognition to be able to go there.

On the sofa, Xu Jinming was sitting in the middle, holding a book in a fake fashion. Hearing Xu Jianing’s words, he couldn’t help but glance at the TV, and his ears quietly perked up.

Although he disliked his second son to join the entertainment industry, but seeing that he can get along well without relying on his own family, he felt honored when he secretly rubbed it.

Mother Xu Ye Xin narrowed her eyes when she saw how her son and other girls were holding hands and singing.

She turned her head and said to Xu Qiyan, “Speaking of which, in a blink of an eye, you and Zhiyi have reached the age to start a family.”

Xu Qiyan narrowed her brows and hummed lightly.

Ye Xin was still staring at the TV, and then suddenly asked with interest: “By the way, I heard that Zhi Yi recently got very close to a female artist under your company.”

“I remember, it seems to be Cheng?”

Xu Qiyan: “…”

Xu Jianing, who was peeling pistachios, was excited when he heard this.

“Mom, are you talking about Sister Xueyi?”

Her eyes were shining brightly, and she spared no effort to start talking to her mother-in-law Amway: “I told you that Sister Xueyi is very nice and beautiful.”

It would be great if you could be my sister-in-law!

She took care of what she said, and the spittle stars flew.

Xu Qiyan’s face was as black as the bottom of a burnt pot beside him.

Recently, he feels that many things are gradually getting out of control.

Losing control made him faintly collapse.

Ye Xin: “Do you like this Miss Cheng so much?”

Xu Jianing nodded vigorously, “I like it very much!”

At this time, Mr. Xu, who was holding the book, suddenly snorted coldly, “I don’t want a daughter-in-law in the entertainment industry.”

“Showing your face, like something.”

Xu Qiyan, who had been silent for a while, fell into deep thought when she heard this.

Xu Jianing is still arguing, “Dad, why are you like this, what’s wrong with the entertainment industry, then I still want to enter the entertainment industry in the future, don’t you still recognize me?”

When Shi Yi came back from the Spring Festival Gala, it was already 11 pm, and the entire Xu family was waiting for him to have a New Year’s Eve dinner.

The long table in the dining room is full of delicious delicacies, which is a very gorgeous and sumptuous New Year’s Eve meal.

Xu Jinming sat on the main seat and routinely delivered a New Year’s message before officially opening the seat.

The Chinese New Year is a festival in disguised form to urge marriage and give birth to a baby.

Wealthy families are not exempt.

The eldest of the Xu family is 29 and the second is 26, both of them are of marriageable age.

And I feel that this family also needs a third generation to be lively and lively.

I happened to be talking about this again when I was watching TV.

Xu Jinming started the conversation: “The second daughter of the Lin family just came back from the UK a few years ago. While everyone has time for the Chinese New Year, I thought about arranging for you to meet each other in the next few days.”

This was said to Xu Qiyan.

The implication is that a blind date is arranged for you.

Xu Qiyan just lowered her head to eat, her expression as indifferent as always, “I’m not interested.”

Xu Jinming didn’t get angry when he saw that he didn’t get into the oil and salt, “Tell me, who are you interested in?”

Xu Qiyan drank the soup calmly, “I’ll inform you sometime.”

…

Listen, listen, what is this called?

Xu Jinming’s gaze turned angrily around the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family, as if he was about to pat the table, “Who are you two going to be mad at?”

Shi smiled indifferently: “No, what’s up with me?”

“It’s not that you introduced me not to go.”

Xu Qiyan rolled his eyes at him, “How about you go?”

Shi Yi: “…”

Shi Yi silently felt that the grievances of their family’s Xiao Xu were a little heavy recently.

Xu Jianing didn’t forget to join in the fun, her mouth was full, and she said vaguely with her cheeks puffed up, “It’s not about…well, it’s my business.”

Xu Qiyan was about to laugh angrily, that’s fine, it’s none of their business.

One or two are willful to die, go to the entertainment industry, and choose their favorite major.

After being smart and happy, a word that doesn’t concern me is over.

Co-authoring the entire Xu family is about him alone?

Ye Xin had to come out at this time to make a round, and there was a lot of smoke about how to eat a good New Year’s Eve dinner.

“Okay, I’m not so anxious about this.” She looked at Xu Jinming, “What age is it, let them see if they like it first.”

At the end of the Xu family’s New Year’s Eve dinner, the bell rang at zero.

The sound of firecrackers being set off outside was deafening, and it was so noisy that people could not rest in peace.

Xu Qiyan’s mobile phone has been vibrating since early morning. In addition to the phone call for New Year’s greetings, there are countless New Year’s greeting messages. Judging from the number of messages in the lower right corner, there are actually hundreds of them.

In previous years, Xu Qiyan didn’t have the patience to watch, not a single one.

But this year, he just turned down one by one, and he turned patiently for a long time, but in the end he didn’t turn to the name he wanted to see.

…

The emotions that had been suppressed all night suddenly lost their weight at this moment.

Empty, with a faint trace of anger.

He pursed his thin lips tightly, and after a long while, he couldn’t help but pull out a number and dial it.

Cheng Xueyi was washing dishes in the kitchen when the phone rang.

Wearing rubber gloves, she carefully rubbed the dishes in the sink with fine foam.

She originally wanted to wait until she was done washing before calling back, but the caller seemed very persistent, so the phone kept ringing on the shelf next to her.

She had no choice but to take off one of the gloves and pick up the phone between her ear and shoulder.

“Hello.”

In the next second, Cheng Xueyi heard a familiar voice calling her in a gnashing tone.

“Cheng Xueyi.”

? ? ?

“Mr. Xu?”

At this moment, for some unknown reason, her little heart throbbed again.

She obviously didn’t do anything wrong, did she?

What are you panicking about?

There was a second of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then she heard Xu Qiyan ask very displeasedly, “Don’t you even know that you want to say goodbye to me?”

“…”

The water in the nbs pool was rushing, and the sound of firecrackers set off outside was one after another.

She really wanted to pretend she didn’t hear if she could.

But unfortunately, she heard it very clearly.

The phone signal is really good.

Cheng Xueyi laughed hard, and stopped washing dishes, “That day, didn’t you worship in the office that day?”

Xu Qiyan sneered, “Am I so fooled?”

“No…” Cheng Xueyi turned off the faucet speechlessly, she took off her gloves and held the phone in her hand, adjusted her posture before putting it back to her ear, “Mr. Xu, you can look through your phone and see what you have received. How many of the New Year’s greetings are copied and forwarded, and some may even forget to change their names. Although I said a simple and simple Happy New Year that day, but I am very sincere and sincere.”

Serious nonsense.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Qiyan pushed open the door of the terrace in the room. The wind outside was a little cold. I don’t know where fireworks were being set off in the distance.

With one hand on the railing, he made a low voice, “So, should I still praise you?”

The tone was not as blunt as it was just now, but a hint of ridicule.

“No no no.”

“I didn’t mean that.” Cheng Xueyi hurriedly cleared it up.

In fact, she didn’t deliberately not send messages to Xu Qiyan to say New Year’s greetings. She just didn’t develop this habit in her previous life. In her previous life, she was always alone, with no relatives and no friends.

Most of the blessing messages received during the New Year and festivals are meaningless copying and forwarding, and she will reply with simple blessings and thanks as soon as they receive them.

So she has never been keen on this kind of New Year’s greetings, thinking that formalism is more important than anything else.

But thinking about it carefully, she should send a serious blessing to Xu Qiyan.

After all, it is the boss, and even formalism has to be dressed up.

If Xu Qiyan knew what she was thinking at the moment, she would probably vomit blood.

But he didn’t know.

He listened to Cheng Xueyi’s serious nonsense, and while thinking that Lao Tzu believed in your evil, he felt that something in his heart was slowly making up for it.

Since when did he really get so fooled?

The bitter winter wind blew past, Xu Qiyan lowered her eyes, “What’s for the New Year’s Eve dinner?”

The voice was low and hoarse.

“Huh?” Suddenly changing the subject, Cheng Xueyi was stunned before saying, “Just the usual ones, steamed fish, braised pork ribs, the hairy crabs I bought before… and dumplings.”

“You did it?”

“Yeah.” She leaned on the sofa and nodded, “Mostly, I made the dumplings with my mother.”

When Xu Qiyan asked someone to help Cen Fang change the ward, she also inquired about her illness and knew that Cen Fang was suffering from uremia.

So I asked her, “Your mother…Auntie is in good health?”

“It’s alright,” Cheng Xueyi’s mood became a little depressed when it came to Cen Fang’s illness, “except for a kidney transplant, this disease can only be said to be maintained.”

After hearing this, he hummed softly, “I’ll go see Auntie when I have time.”

“Perhaps, there is something I can do to help.”

Um?

Cheng Xueyi was stunned by this sentence.

no? What’s the matter with the president?

What are you going to see?

What do you use to see it?

boss? Is the boss so friendly?

Cheng Xueyi imagined the scene. Xu Qiyan stood in the ward with a high poker face. His secretaries and assistants sent fruits, flowers and supplements into the room like flowing water. When the line was full, he would come to the president in full swing. A self-introduction: “My dear Xu Qiyan, it’s your daughter’s, your immediate boss.”

Then Cen Fang spoke again and asked if Cheng Xueyi was the president she particularly liked before.

Thinking of this picture, she can’t wait to hit the wall and splatter blood on the spot!

“No, no trouble, right?” Cheng Xueyi said with a dry smile.

When Xu Qiyan heard her stutter suddenly, she knew that she didn’t know what was going on in her head.

He pulled the corners of his lips lightly, completely ignoring her rejection, insisting on going against her.

In the cool night wind, his voice was somewhat pleasant, and there was a little bit of ambiguity that was difficult to detect. He said, “It’s not troublesome.”

…

as a rising star.

Cheng Xueyi’s New Year’s holiday is only three days.

On the morning of the third day of the new year, she will fly to Italy to shoot a magazine cover.

Last time, because of the red carpet of the Starlight Awards and the blessing of J’s family, her fashion resources have improved a lot.

This time we are going to shoot “Wei Shang”. Although there is still some gap compared to the big four, Wei Shang is a magazine with good reputation and sales. Compared with the virgin cover last time, it has advanced several times. grade.

In the morning, the nanny car came to pick up Cheng Xueyi, and this time Penny wanted to go with her. Su Yu still had work to discuss with Cheng Xueyi, so she also took them to the airport with the nanny car.

The driver put the luggage in the trunk.

Cheng Xueyi got into the nanny car and started eating the sweet corn that Penny bought for her. The flight time was too early, and she didn’t have time to eat breakfast.

“I’ve been too busy recently, so you can eat and listen.” Su Yu sat next to her and took out a small book of itinerary, “This time I’m going to Italy to shoot the cover for two days, and I’m going to shoot the famous family soon after I come back. Makeup photo.”

“The date of the launch conference has not yet been determined, but it is estimated that it is very recently. There is also an advertisement for a domestic cosmetic product that was shot at the end of the month.”

“There are 16 other events, big and small. I guess you can’t remember them. I will send the specific information of each event to Penny, and she will remind you.”

Cheng Xueyi nibbled at the corn and replied vaguely, “Okay.”

“By the way,” Su Yu closed the book and suddenly remembered something, “I have something else I want to ask you.”

“Speaking.”

“You and President Xu…” Su Yu paused for a while, still looking a little hard to say, and after choking for a long time, he said, “Aren’t you and Xu always in love?”

…

? ? ?

“Cough, cough, cough!”

A corn kernel just got stuck in his throat, Cheng Xueyi coughed violently, and Penny, who was sitting in the front row, heard the sound and quickly turned back and handed a bottle of pure water.

Su Yu gently patted her back to help her calm down, “Hey, why are you so excited?”

What am I so excited about? ! ! !

What are you asking about? ! !

Cheng Xueyi coughed so badly that her pale face turned into a pig’s liver, and it took a long time for her to recover.

“Sister Su, who are you trying to scare to death?”

She was holding a bottle of pure water, her eyes were wet when she spoke.

“Almost choked me.”

Su Yu: “…”

“Who knew you would react so much.”

“It’s not normal for me to have such a big reaction, isn’t it? What is it that you suddenly say so shockingly?”

Su Yu frowned, “Really not talking?”

Cheng Xueyi stretched out three fingers with a solemn face, “I swear, I really didn’t.”

“Then I should prepare you mentally?”

Cheng Xueyi stopped chewing on the corn. She put the things in the garbage bag and asked Su Yu seriously, “What’s going on?”

“Do you know how J’s dress came from?”

Contact the context, the answer to this question is easy to guess.

“Is it President Xu?”

Sure enough, Su Yu nodded, “Remember, after Gu Heng’s incident a while ago, Mr. Xu asked you to take a break from work. Did you contact him about the Starlight Awards?”

“Yes.”

“Mr. Xu asked me to go to his office that day and asked me how the red carpet was prepared. At that time, the dress thing was really not done, so I told President Xu, and then he gave J’s own contact information. I am.”

“I had no idea that such a good thing would happen!”

Su Yu’s eyes were about to light up, “Including the fact that you can win the prestigious family this time, there is also President Xu’s recommendation behind it.”

She also repeated to Cheng Xueyi what the person in charge of Guangdong said on the phone that day.

Cheng Xueyi: “…………”

Isn’t she afraid that she hasn’t woken up yet?

At this moment, Cheng Xueyi felt an indescribable fear.

Don’t know what to say.

If you have to describe it, it’s probably the kind of feeling that when you didn’t do anything, someone hurriedly sent you everything you wanted.

Because where in the world come so many good things for no reason?

To get something, you have to pay.

I just don’t know what Xu Qiyan wants her to pay?

Cheng Xueyi was suddenly worried.

Su Yu obviously also thought of another layer: “I’ve talked about this today, and as an agent, I have to advise you, no matter how you handle this degree, you know, you and President Xu are very sensitive. , if something comes out, you will suffer a lot, and there must be countless people waiting to pour dirty water on you.”

“Of course, I know that you liked Mr. Xu very much before. Now that Mr. Xu also has this intention, it may be difficult for you to control, but at least keep a low profile.”

? ? ?

Hard to hold?

Sister Su, open your eyes and take a look! I! Where does it appear to be difficult to handle? ! ! !
