Chapter 228: Chapter 228 - Prepare Gifts For Boyfriend
“I just want things to be simple,” Wei Shanshan was upset . “Everyone thinks badly of us . My mom almost kicked me out of the house when she found out I got into art school . Even my mom thinks the money we make isn’t legit . I had to tell her I was just testing the waters and won’t drown in it . If I can’t make it here, I’ll have to go home and do what she wants…”
Wei Shanshan sobbed as she told her side of the story .
She might be someone who always smiled, but she was wasn’t spared from attack over the past two years she was in the industry .
She only held it down by telling herself that it did not matter, and she wasn’t as useless as they said .
She couldn’t talk to anyone about it . Nobody would believe her, and she was worried she might invite more attacks .
Her agent was already as busy as a bee . If she wanted them to counsel her, she would be labeled as ‘useless . ’
If Wei Shanshan was here, Yun Xiangxiang would have hugged her . “Shanshan, have faith . Have faith that the simple happiness you want exists everywhere . But remember, the dark side that you so despise will also always be there . ”
“En . ”
“I can see that you love this job . You can’t change them, but you can try to be the best version of yourself . Even so, that won’t be enough . You need to know how to keep yourself safe . Don’t think everyone who smiles at you is kind, and don’t think of everyone who hates you as evil . ”
Yun Xiangxiang slowed down . She tried not to pressure Wei Shanshan . “It’s already beenn two years since you entered this industry . So far so good, right? Everything’s going according to your plan . You didn’t lose your path . But since you have walked on it for so long, you will come across some obstacles . What you have to do is conquer it . ”
“Okay . ”
“We can’t control how others think, nor do we have the right to ask people to change how they treat us . We also can’t decide how they treat everyone around them . What we can do is just strive for greater heights . Do your best, Shanshan,” Yun Xiangxiang cheered her on .
Wei Shanshan sniffled, “Okay, I get it already . I have held it in for too long . Don’t laugh . ”
“I won’t . But I will if you handle this poorly,” said Yun Xiangxiang half-jokingly .
“Hmph, I may be kind, but I won’t take these attacks lying down,” Wei Shanshan’s fighting spirit was lit up .
“Okay, okay . I’m waiting for our Wei Shanshan to show some girl power,” Yun Xiangxiang chuckled .
“Oh, just you wait . Talk to you later, I’ll be catching some villains now . ”
Seeing as Wei Shanshan had obviously recovered, Yun Xiangxiang ended the call before picking up another phone to call Song Mian .
After two months, “Jiu Se” was in its final stage of filming . They could now finish filming in late June instead of July . Yun Xiangxiang now had a bit more time for herself .
It was the first time where Song Mian didn’t pick up after it rang for so long . But he managed to pick it up before Yun Xiangxiang hung up . “Someone knocked over a bottle of chemicals just now, and we were trying to save it . ”
Listening to Song Mian’s explanation, Yun Xiangxiang asked, “Everything fine?”
“Nothing dangerous . Don’t worry about it,” Song Mian sounded relaxed . He changed the topic, “Anything happen?”
She promised to call before bedtime every night . As it wasn’t the time yet, something must have happened .
“I asked Shanshan to keep an eye out for wild ginseng after she gave me some last time, since I noticed your clinic wants some . And now someone’s asking for ten million for a three hundred year-old one . Do you want it?” Yun Xiangxiang explained .
“Ask for their address and send it to me . I’ll get someone to take it,” Song Mian immediately agreed to her request .
“I hope you bought it because you really need it, not because I introduced it,” Yun Xiangxiang emphasized .
“Why does my girlfriend want to introduce it to me?” Song Mian chuckled .
“This is good stuff that’s becoming rarer and rarer . ”
“That’s right . I would buy it even if my girlfriend didn’t introduce it . It’s good stuff that’s becoming rare,” but I won’t settle on this price .
He may be wealthy, but he wouldn’t give away money just like that . He would buy it with the market price .
Eight million was the maximum for now . Ten million was a bit too much . But it wouldn’t be enough if the ginseng was preserved for a few more years .
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t think ten million was too much because of that reason .
“Go finish up your work . I’ll be waiting for your nightly calls,” Yun Xiangxiang knew Song Mian must be busy, considering how long it took him to pick up the phone .
“I had someone prepare some herbal tea that can keep you cool . They’re not cold in nature, so you can have more of it,” Song Mian hung up after saying that .
As the beeping noise played, a smile carved itself on Yun Xiangxiang’s face . The early summer of May suddenly didn’t seem as sweltering .
She even felt that the glaring sun was adorable .
No matter where, no matter when, Song Mian would worry about her being uncomfortable .
He would try to make all of her days happy . No matter if it was the inside or outside, she must feel comfortable .
But she couldn’t do much for him, which was the source of her helplessness . Yun Xiangxiang put her book down and slipped into a dilemma . Song Mian’s birthday was fast approaching, but she still didn’t have any idea about the gift she should give him .
An idea suddenly struck her . Yun Xiangxiang was going to call Deng Yang when she remembered it was in the dead of midnight in her place . When she was going to hang up, Deng Yang had already taken the call .
“I’m sorry, Sister Deng . I forgot about our time difference . Sorry to wake you up,” Yun Xiangxiang immediately apologized .
“Don’t worry about it . I haven’t slept yet,” Deng Yang sounded energetic . “Go on, spill it . What made you call me at this hour?”
Yun Xiangxiang shone brightly during the film festival . Thanks to that, the dress she designed for her received a great amount of attention .
Naturally, she had to take her due credit as the designer . Yun Xiangxiang being “double best actress” also helped her a lot in terms of publicity .
When people knew she was making a comeback, they started asking her for collaborations and gown designs . Like someone who was just starting out, she was very busy . But since she already had experience, she didn’t have much trouble handling it .
“I’m looking for a kind of rope that’s durable, pretty, and rare,” Yun Xiangxiang cut to the chase . Deng Yang could rest earlier if she finished it fast .
“Why are you looking for it?” Deng Yang asked
“I want to make a wristrope out of it and give it to my boyfriend,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t deny Song Mian’s existence . She could only find the most suitable rope if Deng Yang knew what it was for . ”
“You have a boyfriend?” Deng Yang was taken aback . Yun Xiangxiang was only eighteen after all .
