Chapter 67: Follow Up Check Up

“You’re paying them?” He Wei’s expression relaxed . He raised an eyebrow at Yun Xiangxiang .

Yun Xiangxiang: Aww o(╯□╰)o

“I’ll do my best to earn more money…” She groaned feebly .

Even though the endorsement fee she got from the top luxury brand was high, half of it was given to He Wei’s company . This was the difference between having an agency and not having one .

Her total assets were only 15 million yuan . That was including the remainder of the payment from “Justice and Selflessness . ”

She had to pay two million yuan each to Ai Li and Song Qian . She also had to pay her team . There was also the twenty million yuan debt she had with He Wei .

She instantly felt that she was getting poorer the longer she was in the industry .

“Junior…” Xue Yu cocked his eye at Yun Xiangxiang while pointing at Ai Li and Song Qian

She mulled over it for a while before saying to Ai Li, “Ai Li, if you want to know someone that wants to settle down and will not bring any troubles, introduce one to my senior . Don’t worry, he’s different from me . He’s really rich!”

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to trouble Song Qian . Li Ai was different . She wasn’t a member of the Song Family . They must have friends that in this circle . However, this kind of person existed in a circle that Yun Xiangxiang and the others couldn’t reach .

“Okay, I’ll contact someone for you,” Ai Li agreed to it .

“Junior, I’ll be having a concert next month . How does being my special guest sound?” Xue Yu immediately returned the favor .

Xue Yu was an awesome person who expanded his career in both the film and music industries . He sang especially well . It was difficult to get even one ticket for his concerts . A lot of media would follow it too . Being his special guest would attract a lot of attention .

“Sounds good . Give me a heads up about what I should do during that time,” Yun Xiangxiang accepted his invitation .

“How’s your singing? It would be best if you can perform a duet with me onstage . ” Xue Yu asked at once

“I don’t know either…” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t have singing talent during her previous life . However, she couldn’t be sure in this life . She didn’t remember singing much .

“Sing a verse or two then,” Xue Yu requested .

Everyone suddenly looked at her . Yun Xiangxiang didn’t feel nervous . She thought for a while before singing Xue Yu’s song .

Beauteous angel that fell from grace

No one could see through her arabesque [1]

There is no judgment too harsh to overcome

She will fade to none

In the stage that was stained with her blood and tears

…

Yun Xiangxiang’s voice was ethereally clear; free of any impurities . Besides, the voice she heard was the one that rang from her bones . It was different for other people who listened to her . She looked at them with trepidation after she finished, “How was it…?”

“Beautiful . Sister sang beautifully,” Yun Lin applauded first .

“It was infectious . ” Song Qian agreed .

“How did you know how to sing “Black Swan’s Poem…” This song was one of those who made a name for Xue Yu when he was just starting out .

It had been many years . At that time, he only wanted to be a singer . However, nobody wanted him . After he entered Huan Yu Century Entertainment and became He Wei’s actor, he said to him that only those who were strong enough had the right to pursue their dreams .

He Wei weeded out all his pricks and made him into an all-rounded person . Everyone thought that he started out as an actor before branching into the music industry, but that was far from the truth .

He saw the girl turning around and around on the tip of her leg round and round . It was like a wooden drill that worked on full power to drill a hole through the floor no matter how much blood was shed or how painful it was .

The melody that was solemn and melancholic had something added to it when Yun Xiangxiang sung it . It was like a light that seeped through the darkness . It broke through the gloominess, as if all the pain was for the welcoming of a new dawn that was full of hope and energy .

“Both of you can perform a duet with this song then . ”

He Wei also had this feeling when he heard it . He thought that it would grab everyone’s attention if Yun Xiangxiang remastered the song .

“Junior, do you want to sing? Your senior can compose it for you,” asked Xue Yu .

Yun Xiangxiang shook her head, “A profession needs to be tackled specifically . It doesn’t matter if I have the talent or not . I won’t have the passion for it if I don’t have the heart for it, let alone being serious about it . Besides, I haven’t even made a name for myself in the film industry . It’s best if I don’t bite off more than I can chew . ”

“Your junior’s better than you . ” He Wei dealt a merciless blow to Xue Yu after he heard that .

Xue Yu: …

He was now an adopted child!

How could they be compared?

It was obvious that Yun Xiangxiang preferred acting more . On the other hand, he had always liked singing since her was little . Songs were his true love . He went into acting because he had to face reality and was serious about it just because it was his job .

“Xiangxiang, meals are ready . ” Coco who was busy in the kitchen called out .

Everyone immediately went to wash their hands . It was fortunate that her home’s dining hall wasn’t small and could accommodate all of them .

He Wei briefed Yun Xiangxiang about her shooting for MonRoe’s publicity photo the day after tomorrow after they had their meal . He talked to her about the arrangements after that before leaving with Xue Yu, Coco and the others . Coco and Wang Yong cleaned the kitchen and the house .

Yun Xiangxiang was exhausted for quite some days now . She showered and went to bed after accompanying Yun Lin while he did his homework .

She accompanied Song Qian to send Yun Lin to school early in the morning the next day . Then, Song Qian sent her to meet Song Mian .

The car ride went for more than two hours . The closer they got, the fewer people there were . Yun Xiangxiang saw Song Qian brandishing an ID when they went past a guard . It took ten more minutes to reach the place after that point .

It was a spiraling path that went up the mountain . The scenery along the path was beautiful .

The car stopped in front of a gigantic steel door that looked quaint . She discovered that they were all ancient buildings when she peered through the car window .

“This is…” Yun Xiangxiang already had a guess .

“The Song Family’s manor . ” Song Qian lowered her voice and said to Yun Xiangxiang . “This is not our hometown . That would be at Suzhou . However, the young master and master live here . ”

“Please follow me, Miss Yun . ” Song Yao was waiting for her by the entrance himself .

Yun Xiangxiang got out of the car silently and followed Song Yao who smiled lovingly inside .

The endless pavilions; the meandering corridors; the mansion reflected in the water; the bridge on the sparkling waves .

Every tree; every plant; every flower; every blade of grass was delicate and elegant .

It looked even more realistic than a filming venue in her previous life that had ancient times as the theme . Being here herself gave her a feeling that she had traveled through time .

Song Mian was waiting for her at the entrance of an antique drugstore . He was wearing a light grayish cyan long robe that had a delicate pattern embroidered with golden silk .

His slender body stood upright with picturesque brows . It resembled a deity that lived in the drawings .

Standing behind him was a magnificent Chinese cornice, while elegant emerald bamboos lined up beside him .

His figure was as sturdy as a pine tree and as looming as a mountain .

He had a mysterious aura that belonged to nobles, seemingly like the spirit of a young noble that was lost in this era .

“Are…Aren’t I here for a check up?” She always thought that she would have to go to the hospital .

“I’ll do the checkup for you . ” Song Mian’s lips curved into a smile . His purplish-black eyes rippled .

Song Mian didn’t use any equipment . He only took her pulse and that was it .

“That’s it?” it was completely different from what she had in mind . She thought that she would be tortured by all kinds of equipment for a whole day!
