CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 395 - 387: The Filter Shatters
Time flies as swiftly as a fleeting horse.
Apart from Meng Wu staying back for a game shoot, the other sisters had all returned to the villa.
When Ye Yuwei sat at the large dining table, she suddenly felt a sense of closeness.
Even though she’d only been away for four days.
"Time to eat, time to eat!"
Jiang Mengqi came over calling loudly, carrying a clay pot.
Everyone at the table smelled a rich fragrance of cabbage.
"Rainbow, you’re truly becoming more and more skillful," Yang Ni remarked, reaching out with her chopsticks to fish something out to eat.
"Huh? Where’s the meat? I saw you put pork belly in earlier!" Yang Ni’s eyes widened as her chopsticks came up empty after a few tries.
"I scooped all the meat out to save it for the assistants. We’re just eating cabbage," Jiang Mengqi explained while serving rice.
"Ah! I’m going crazy, I want meat!" Yang Ni slumped dejectedly in her chair.
The seated Lai Ruoxuan laughed and said, "You still want to eat? You’re already the heaviest!"
"Weight has to be considered together with height!" Yang Ni shot back, refusing to back down.
"This cold dish is delicious! It even has small chili peppers," praised Fu Xiaoyu, enthusiastically eating more vegetables.
"I made that one, just added some enoki mushrooms to it," Duan Yuxin raised her hand eagerly.
"Tasty! Thanks to Mengqi and Yuxin, otherwise we’d all just be instant noodle pros," Zhang Zijing chimed in happily, clearly enjoying the group meal.
"Fangxin, you’re usually the one who talks the most. Why are you just eating non-stop today?"
Fu Xiaoyu noticed that Lv Fangxin was quieter than even Li Zimeng today.
"Exactly, Fangxin, since when did you become a proper lady?"
"Not a proper lady—she’s already had three bowls!"
Jiang Mengqi stared in mock horror at the whirlwind-eating Lv Fangxin.
"Let me tell you all something—for anyone wanting to take me out for steak from now on, forget it! And foie gras or baked escargot? No thanks! I just want plain white rice,"
Lv Fangxin managed to swallow the mouthful of rice with some effort, waving her chopsticks as she spoke, only to choke slightly and gulp down a big sip of water.
"Hahaha! What’s gotten into you? How is steak not a good thing to eat?" Lai Meiyun asked, poking a small dried fish into Zhang Zijing’s mouth as she spoke.
The girls especially enjoyed feeding each other like this. Sharing a single cup of instant noodles was an everyday occurrence for them.
Ye Yuwei, as usual, stuck to eating cabbage, drinking plain water, and occasionally nibbling on some fruit.
However, seeing Lv Fangxin’s expression, she seemed to have figured something out.
"Because I’m announcing it loud and clear—I only love white rice and Lao Gan Ma!" Lv Fangxin stood up with her hands on her hips, as if declaring this to the entire world.
"Fangxin, you seem more radiant lately," Lai Ruoxuan remarked, blinking playfully.
"Yeah, and your waist looks more flexible," Jiang Mengqi nodded solemnly.
"But your brain seems to have gotten dumber—you look a bit silly!" Fu Xiaoyu’s blunt comment almost made Lv Fangxin spit blood with fury.
"What do you mean I’m silly? I feel more self-aware and clear-headed than ever before!"
"What’s so clear about it?"
"Right, what’s clear about it?"
"Could it be that your head is... breezy?"
Lv Fangxin almost died of anger from these teasing remarks, sitting back down to drink her soup silently, refusing to engage further.
She knew that if she replied, this group of girls would only become more excited.
"Leafy, won’t you have some soup?" Zhang Zijing handed over a bowl of duck soup.
Although the rich aroma in the blue-and-white ceramic bowl was tempting, Ye Yuwei still shook her head.
Unless necessary, she avoided eating heavy or greasy foods.
"You’re too hard on yourself. Once in a while is fine; otherwise, you won’t have enough energy."
Ye Yuwei smiled politely and didn’t want to reject the kind offer outright. She picked up the spoon and sipped a little.
The soup Mengqi made was excellent, leaving a lingering aromatic aftertaste. It even had goji berries and codonopsis, warming her body.
As they ate and chatted, the conversation naturally shifted to work.
"Yuwei Sis, how’s the filming going on your end?" Duan Yuxin asked, taking a bite of peach.
"It’s fine, just the usual."
"Is Li Jingtian really that handsome?"
"Pretty handsome. I even have his WeChat—do you want it?"
"...Forget it, I’m kind of scared of men."
Duan Yuxin thought for a moment and shook her head. She didn’t dare to casually look for a boyfriend.
"I’m so jealous you guys get to act in dramas. All we can do are variety shows," Yang Ni sighed.
"You all do music variety shows, which aren’t bad. Mine was disgusting," Jiang Mengqi said, shivering dramatically in mock disgust.
"Wasn’t your variety show great? It had a lot of buzz!" Lai Ruoxuan was surprised.
"The host was disgusting. Just thinking about it makes me want to puke," Jiang Mengqi grimaced.
"What happened? Sister Yin always seemed like such a proper person?" Zhang Zijing was equally taken aback.
Jiang Mengqi put down her glass of water, her face full of disdain as she said,
"What you see is just appearances. Her ’true personality’ is fake—her heart is twisted. Onstage, she yaps away like an overtalkative pest."
"Offstage, she even hinted at me to... have a relationship with her."
Lai Ruoxuan was stunned into silence, not expecting Sister Yin to be this kind of person.
"Isn’t she supposed to only like men? Didn’t she transition from being a man before?"
Zhang Zijing was equally shocked: "Wait, does that mean she didn’t fully go through the surgery?"
Poof!
Ye Yuwei, who was quietly listening, almost spat out the water in her mouth.
Everyone except for Li Zimeng burst into uncontrollable laughter.
Zhang Zijing rarely spoke and had little worldly experience. She and Li Zimeng were quite alike, both sheltered and raised as well-behaved girls.
After saying that, even Zhang Zijing couldn’t help but laugh in embarrassment.
"If the surgery wasn’t complete, wouldn’t her husband be terrified?"
"He must’ve been shaken every single day over the years!"
"Taking daily anti-shock pills!"
Once these girls started joking, they could go on endlessly.
"Rainbow, what exactly happened?" Ye Yuwei finally stepped in.
The previous lively scene quieted down at once because it was their leader’s formal inquiry.
"She said she could help introduce me to resources, but she wanted something in return. Both she and her husband really like cute girls,"
Jiang Mengqi’s expression turned gloomy, clearly still shaken by the incident.
"These kinds of scumbags, not one of them is any good. Onstage and on social media, they act like decent human beings, but in reality, they’re monsters," Fu Xiaoyu sneered coldly.
"In this industry, there’s all kinds of people. Honestly, that’s probably the way she got ahead in her own career," Lai Ruoxuan added sarcastically.
Duan Yuxin looked completely shocked, suddenly growing uneasy.
"Yuxin, what’s wrong?" Li Zimeng asked curiously.
"I—I’m scared. What will I do if I encounter something like this?"
"Don’t worry, our company protects us. Just ignore people like that," Lai Ruoxuan reassured her.
"But... But what happens if we disband? Who will protect us then?"
Duan Yuxin’s words plunged everyone into a moment of silence and sadness.
Two years might not be long, but it certainly wasn’t short. Time passed by so quickly.
And just as Duan Yuxin had said, they were currently under a big company’s umbrella, free to dismiss these troubling types. But what about later?
"Don’t worry, Yuxin. By then, we’ll all be big stars, and no one will dare touch us," Ye Yuwei smiled.
"Yeah, by that time, we’ll all be superstars," Yang Ni chimed in enthusiastically.
"Let’s keep pushing forward together!"
"We’re going to be singers, actresses, and shining dual stars!"
The group’s energy reignited, and they soon cheered up again.
In truth, one of the best parts of chasing dreams together in youth is being able to encourage and support one another. In their eyes, there was nothing they couldn’t overcome.
