Chapter 208 - Another Childhood Friend Going Online (1/2)
“Blame me for being weak,” Xue Yu surrendered.
“You’re strong now. I won’t get in your way,” He Wei replied coldly.
“You broke me. I don’t want to fall in love anymore,” Xue Yu looked dead inside.
“Then stay single for life,” He Wei ignored him and kept on chatting with Yun Zhibin.
When Yun Zhibin knew Yun Xiangxiang’s agent was a guy, he was worried. He saw He Wei once in Hong Kong, but didn’t delve deeper with He Wei. When he sat down to talk with He Wei, his worries flew out the window when he saw how He Wei treated his actors.
He Wei cared more for Yun Xiangxiang, just like how he would to a daughter. His tongue was sharp against Xue Yu, but he radiated a sense of sibling closeness.
“These are some good sausages, sister-in-law,” Xue Yu tasted a lot of sausages from the world. This was his favorite. They were the right size.
“Right? It’s my mom’s best,” Yun Xiangxiang smiled as she too took a piece.
Sausages relied heavily on the fat to meat ratio. Su Xiuling opted for a three to seven ratio. It wouldn’t be too greasy or too hard that way.
The next deciding factor would be the spices. Su Xiuling used her homemade five spices. The last one was the ventilation where the sausages were pickled. They were particular about the light and humidity of the air.
That was how delicious Chinese sausages were made. Su Xiuling made a lot every time Chinese New Year came by. Even if she gave some away, they would still have a year’s supply of it.
“I am glad you like it. I brought a lot. Bring some when you’re going back later, you two,” Su Xiuling took the opportunity to make the offer.
“I won’t hold back then,” Xue Yu accepted it happily.
Yun Xiangxiang and her father sent them off after dinner. Before he left, He Wei said, “Go on the red carpet with your senior in tomorrow’s award ceremony. Deng Yang said your gown would arrive tonight. I’ll bring it over tomorrow.”
“Okay,” Yun Xiangxiang replied. “Take care on your way home, Brother Wei.”
Yun Xiangxiang went for a walk around the estate with her father before returning home. When they stopped at Yun Xiangxiang’s story, Yun Zhibin called out to her, “Wait a minute, I remember the elevator going upstairs after you two came out yesterday.”
Yun Zhibin might have overlooked some details in his fury last night, but he remembered the elevator going up and stopped at the story above them after they came out
Every story only had one resident. The elevator would only stop at the story above if someone pressed the b.u.t.ton when they were inside, or they did it outside before that.
Since Yun Xiangxiang owned both units, if Yun Xiangxiang and Song Mian were in the elevator, n.o.body would be going up.
The elevator stopped at this story because he pushed the down b.u.t.ton to fetch his daughter. Does that mean they were going up last night?
Yun Xiangxiang’s heart trembled. She must not admit it no matter what, “You must have been seeing things, dad.”
“Did I?” Yun Zhibin was unsure himself. He was overwhelmed with anger last night. He looked at Yun Xiangxiang with doubt.
Yun Xiangxiang nodded in earnest, “Yep, you must be seeing things.”
After looking quizzically at his daughter for a while, Yun Zhibin released the doc.u.ment he was using to keep the door open, “I’ll trust you for once.”
After Yun Zhibin was done, the elevator’s door closed and it continued going up. Yun Xiangxiang heaved a sigh of relief.
You can’t do anything wrong after all. If I was caught, I can forget about getting away.
She went to bed after finis.h.i.+ng practice. When she took her phone out, she noticed there were unread messages.
In the Four Seasons group, Fang Nanyuan announced he would attend the film festival tomorrow as award presenter. He made Wei Shanshan and Yi Yan, who were filming, jealous.
In her dorm room’s group, Tao Manni asked Yun Xiangxiang when she would arrive tomorrow, to which the latter replied: at night.
