The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times
Chapter 27: Return to Beijing
Xia Wanyuan blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Fortunately, Jun Shiling stopped talking on the other end of the phone.
“Goodnight, Bu.” Xiao Bao yawned and rubbed his eyes.
“Goodnight.”
Everything's back to normal. However, only the people involved knew how much emotional turmoil had occurred that night.
Unexpectedly, in the following week, Ruan Yingyu did not do anything out of the ordinary. In fact, he and Xia Wanyuan could be said to have their own affairs.
Ever since Jun Shiling last saw Xia Wanyuan dance, Jun Shiling had deliberately avoided Xiao Bao and him every time they made a video call.
“How is Xia Yu doing now?”
Jun Shiling finally thought of Xia Yu, who had been thrown into the financial department.
“It didn't go well for him.”
In the finance department, Xia Yu was in a dead end with a middle-aged man. Ever since the incident in the canteen, the suspicion towards Xia Yu had subsided.
People are often afraid of the unknown. Now that Xia Yu's identity was clear and everyone knew that she was the bankrupt child of the Xia family, their attitude towards her naturally changed.
“Xiao Xia, help me print this.”
“Xiao Xia, help me send this to Manager Wu.”'s office
“Xiao Xia, get me a cup of coffee.”
Ever since the first employee asked Xia Yu for help, the other employees in the office gradually got used to commanding her.
Although Xia Yu had been left to drown or swim all her life, she had always been served wherever she went and had never served anyone before because the Xia family was rich in the past.
However, thinking of how Jin Feng poured a cup of tea for her when he first came to the office, Xia Yu decided to treat her in return.
He did not expect his coffee to be so hot that it burned Jin Feng's tongue. Jin Feng threw the cup onto the table, causing a few drops of hot coffee to splatter and blister in Xia Yu's hand.
“How can you be so useless? You can't even do such a small thing. Garbage.”
When Xia Yu first arrived, Jin Feng thought that he was someone who had connections. Hence, he even respectfully made tea for the young man who was decades younger than him. However, now that he realized that he was just a poor person, his attitude became arrogant.
Xia Yu looked at Jin Feng with an indecipherable expression and wiped the coffee stains on the back of her hand dry. Then, he slowly picked up the cup and poured the coffee over Jin Feng when no one was watching.
“You!”
Jin Feng shuddered and gasped backwards from the heat of the coffee. His white shirt turned dark grey in an instant.
“Fuck you, did I give you face ?! Can't you do it yourself? Do you not have hands? You useless trash!”
Xia Yu's lips curved in mockery without a trace of smile in her eyes.
In the past, he had always felt that there was nothing to pursue in life as long as there was food, drink, and pleasure. Now that the Xia Family was bankrupt, he finally understood the fickle nature of humans.
The people he thought would always follow him and call them Big Brother Xia were nowhere to be seen again when things went south for him.
Someone old enough to be her father struggles to make tea for her the first time they meet because she thinks that she has a connection. However, after realizing that he was wrong, he finally showed his true nature. Xia Yu snorted.
On the other hand, his half-brother, who had not treated him like before, was the only person standing before him after the accident.
Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu's smile froze.
Jin Feng rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward when he was stopped by his comrades around him. Fearing they would argue again, his comrades stepped forward to stop Xia Yu.
Xia Yu let go of everyone's hands and left the office. “Sorry, I can't stay in the finance department anymore. If there is a loss, I will bear it myself. I won't involve anyone else.”
......................
Not long after Lin Jing finished her report, news came from the financial department and Xia Yu arrived at Jun Shiling's office alone.
“Your school spring break is almost over. Back to school.”
“???”
Xia Yu looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.
“You don't yet have the ability to enter Jun Corporation's financial department,” Jun Shiling looked at Xia Yu with his deep eyes.
“I just let you in to learn.”
“Modal or ability, you don't have it. Why should others respect you?”
Even after leaving Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling's words still lingered in Xia Yu's mind.
......................
In the filming of “The Long Ballad”, some scenes need to be filmed in Southern Film City. Hence, these few days, the film crew mainly recorded the scene that needed to be filmed in the south.
Xia Wanyuan's character is said to be the second female lead, but since “The Long Ballad” was originally a male genre production, the female character's existence was to support the knightly tendencies of the male lead.
As the second female lead to have a one-sided love for the male lead, she did not have many scenes.
After more than ten days of intense filming, Xia Wanyuan left with Chen Yun back to Beijing. At the same time, photos of Xia Wanyuan leaving and arriving at Beijing airport began circulating online.
Popular searches on airport photos usually include photos of celebrities that look perfect. However, when it came to Xia Wanyuan, everyone criticized her for only filming for ten days.
When he got off the plane and got into the car, Chen Yun was so angry that he wanted to destroy his phone.
Why did he not realize that Xia Wanyuan was so popular now? He even had a photo taken at the airport.
“That must be Ruan Yingyu and her company, Strawberry Entertainment! How can they take advantage of this situation? I wonder why he has been acting so abnormally recently. He even suggested to the director to record your scene first. Turns out he planned this!”
“Quiet.”
Xia Wanyuan casually handed the orange to Chen Yun.
Chen Yun speechlessly glanced at Xia Wanyuan, who acted as if nothing had happened.
In the past, he used to pray that Xia Wanyuan would stop making trouble and be quiet. But now, Xia Wanyuan was silent, but a little too reserved.
“I'll take you back first.” Chen Yun was just about to tell the driver the address of the villa.
However, Xia Wanyuan thought about it and gave him a new address.
Chen Yun did not think too much about it at first, but as the car slowly drove onto the road covered by towering sycamore trees, he could faintly hear the sound of splashing water. After a while, they passed through a large area of roses and finally revealed a very majestic house.
In Beijing where every inch of land is worth gold, this noble house actually occupies about 300 acres.
Under the sunset, the French Fontainebleau-style building looked more serene and majestic. High fences cannot stop vines and roses from blooming from the garden.
As far as he could see, the magnificent gates were adorned with dazzling enameled windows and vivid-looking marble relics.
......................
“This is your home?” Chen Yun took a deep breath.
‘Didn't they say that the Xia family is broke?!’
“No. This is a friend's house.”
“Oh, oh.”
He was almost scared to death. He had thought Xia Wanyuan had suddenly moved to such a place.
Xia Wanyuan used to be the daughter of a wealthy family, so it was natural for her to have rich friends.
Chen Yun looked at the majestic building outside the car and clicked his tongue. It was too heaven-defying to be this rich man.
After sending Xia Wanyuan to the door, Chen Yun left. He looked at the door enviously and urged the driver to leave quickly.
“Come. We can't stay here too long. If we stay any longer, I will develop extreme hatred towards the rich.”
The manor was very private and Jun Shiling had never met an outsider in the manor. This was the first time someone had rang a bell at the entrance.
