When the stead bun was placed in her palm, Lu Xiaoi’s eyes lit up with delight, just like Pigsy seeing a Ginseng Fruit. She quickly tossed it into her mouth, her thick lips moving in and out, and swallowed it without chewing.
After eating the small bun, Lu Xiaoi licked her lips and looked disappointed. "It doesn’t seem to taste as good as it slls."
Ouyang Jiahui raised her neck and stared blankly at Lu Xiaoi, seemingly understanding what Xu Xiangbei ant earlier.
She tried hard to explain, "You’re eating it the wrong way. You should first bite a small hole in the bun’s outer layer, and then gently suck the broth inside. The broth is very hot, so don’t burn your tongue. That’s a crab yolk bun, it has crab yolk inside, and the broth is particularly delicious. Swallowing it like that, you won’t be able to taste the crab yolk’s deliciousness at all..."
After patiently explaining, Lu Xiaoi looked at her blankly and asked, "Sister Ouyang, what’s crab yolk?"
Ouyang Jiahui almost felt like coughing up blood on the spot.
Xu Xiangbei, who was sipping the broth nearby, laughed loudly, "It’s no use telling her. I knew giving her this pan-fried bun was a waste. She can’t taste the flavor and won’t feel full from it. Better to go downstairs and buy twenty stead buns filled with pickles; that would not only taste good to her but also fill her up."
After breakfast, Gu Xinyan and Xu Xiangbei, along with the others, took Ouyang Jiahui’s car to the film set.
With the help of Dongfang Bai, Gu Xinyan moved into a small two-bedroom apartnt, just enough for her and Lu Xiaoi, one room each.
Although the apartnt isn’t too ssy, it still needs so tidying. Judging by the dust on the floor, it hasn’t been occupied for at least a few months.
Gu Xinyan, with a slight obsession with cleanliness, wiped the dust from her fingers and frowned, "This place needs a good cleaning."
Dongfang Bai gently patted Gu Xinyan on the shoulder, "Director Feng is waiting for you. There’s a news conference to announce later. et Director Feng first, then clean the place. Or, we could leave the task of cleaning to our dear cousin."
Ouyang Jiahui anxiously said, "Isn’t there Xiaoi, what’s her na again?"
Lu Xiaoi smiled, "I’m Lu Xiaoi."
She was about to roll up her sleeves and clean the room when Xu Xiangbei stopped her, "You’d better go familiarize yourself with the environnt with Gu Xinyan, leave the cleaning to us."
Lu Xiaoi pushed Gu Xinyan’s wheelchair and went to the palace villa’s eting room with Dongfang Bai, while Ouyang Jiahui, with a cold face, started cleaning the apartnt with Xu Xiangbei.
"Why do I have to clean? Isn’t Lu Xiaoi the maid?"
"It’s Lu Xiaoi’s first ti on the set; she needs to get familiar with the surroundings. Besides, you’re the youngest here, aren’t you the niece?"
Ouyang Jiahui, feeling indignant, threw down the broom in her hand and began to protest, "Hmph, I’m offering you a free place to stay, acting as your driver and now a cleaner. It’s like I owe you. You’re clearly bullying , the older pushing the younger around."
"I’m planning to buy a villa near your apartnt for you to live in for free. That way, you won’t have to stay in that apartnt with its frequently broken elevator. How does that sound?"
Ouyang Jiahui’s eyes brightened as she stared at Xu Xiangbei for a while. Smiling, she picked up the broom from the floor, her eyes sparkling, "Brother Xu, are you serious? This is the most expensive area in Earth Sea City, every inch of land is so precious. There’s a real estate project nearby selling luxury hos, but it’s super expensive, fifteen thousand per square ter. Can you afford it? A five-hundred-square-ter villa costs seventy-five million."
"Don’t underestimate . I now have the rights to ’Ancient Moon Red Dust.’ It’s going live online the day after tomorrow. Earning a hundred million shouldn’t be a problem, so the cost of the villa won’t be an issue."
Unable to suppress her excitent, Ouyang Jiahui laughed with her mouth wide open, "Brother Xu, you’re really going places! My magazine is planning to write a report on the latest gas. After we finish cleaning, I’d like to interview you. Girls will handle the cleaning; you can just rest on the sofa."
"Then I’ll go out for a smoke and take a break."
Ouyang Jiahui, her eyes gleaming, said tenderly, "Go ahead, but be careful on the steps."
Lu Xiaoi pushed Gu Xinyan into the palace eting room, where the press conference was set up as a reception. Many journalists were already there, in small groups, sipping drinks and nibbling snacks, waiting for President Huang.
Outside the eting room, Gu Xinyan encountered Liu Yuxing.
Wearing sunglasses, Liu Yuxing still had that handso face, but the recent scandal had caused his reputation to plumt, and there was an added weariness on his face.
Seeing Liu Yuxing, Gu Xinyan felt sowhat nervous and flustered, secretly guessing, wasn’t the male lead supposed to be replaced? Why was he here too? Was he still playing the male lead?
Liu Yuxing took off his sunglasses, his handso face showing a hint of apology, and stopped in front of Gu Xinyan’s wheelchair, his eyes clear as water.
"Xinyan, I’ve finally caught up with you. I want to say I’m sorry for what I did in the past."
Gu Xinyan tried to calm herself, tucked her hair behind her ear, but her eyes still showed so timidity. She quickly glanced at Liu Yuxing’s face and asked confusedly, "The past is in the past. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Why are you here? Are you still playing the lead?"
Liu Yuxing smiled, "No, considering my recent negative impact, I need to disappear from the public eye for a while. The lead role has been handed over to Dongfang Bai. He’s very talented. Director Feng let him be the lead after careful consideration, so work well with him. You’ll learn a lot."
Hearing that Liu Yuxing wasn’t playing the lead, Gu Xinyan felt relieved.
Ever since finding out that Liu Yuxing collaborated with Gu Jie to bully her, Gu Xinyan held no affection for Liu Yuxing, even detested him from the bottom of her heart. If he had been the lead, she wouldn’t know how to face him.
"I just ca to say goodbye today. See you, maybe soday we can act together."
Liu Yuxing reached out to shake Gu Xinyan’s hand, but she turned her face away, not shaking his hand, rely nodding slightly.
"Xiaoi, push in."
Lu Xiaoi pushed Gu Xinyan into the eting room, leaving Liu Yuxing awkwardly standing at the door.
The conversation between Gu Xinyan and Liu Yuxing was heard by Lili, an actress playing the third female lead, who cast a jealous glance.
Lili wore a blue silk cheongsam, the latest Prada cheongsam, specially designed for girls with petite Huaxia figures, perfectly outlining her slender physique.
She was a fan of Liu Yuxing and had a special fondness for him.
As for Gu Xinyan, a newcor and a disabled person at that, how she managed to play the female lead was beyond Lili, making her grit her teeth with hatred, especially seeing Gu Xinyan disregard Liu Yuxing, which annoyed her further.
Silly girl, daring to treat Brother Liu with such an attitude, you really think you’re sothing.
