Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 219: The Stern Mother-in-Law x The Sickly Daughter-in-Law
There was a lot of buzz online about Yu Xia and Xie Qingci working together for the third time.
But the truth is, it was really just a coincidence; no one deliberately manipulated it, so Yu Xia didn’t take the speculations, which were close to the truth, to heart.
During filming, she took some time to retweet the show’s official Weibo announcement, casually greeting Xie Qingci from afar.
[Yu Xia V: Looking forward to working with my brother @Xie Qingci]
A while later, Xie Qingci replied below: [Sister, please be tolerant]
She stared at it twice and suddenly thought that their replies were so neatly matched, it looked like they were making an official announcement.
The comments below were quite interesting.
[Xiaxia is teaming up with the brother again! Could my shipped couple ever become real one day / Cat head anticipation.jpg]
[The way he calls her sister makes me feel like I have no choice but to ship them. A queenly sister × a cool brother is such a delightful pairing! It would be perfect if the brother could act cute.] 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
[Marketing accounts, try harder, I want to see your gossip article before tomorrow afternoon, otherwise, I’ll be in school. Write well and you might earn yourself a lawyer’s letter.]
[New fan, just came, just asking because I don’t understand, is this their relationship announcement?]
[I knew it, Yu Xia would never back down / Wiping tears shed for handsome guys.jpg]
[Although I’d heard of Yu Xia’s reputation for being the queen of rumors before I clicked in, I still hadn’t expected it to be discussed so harmoniously and lively.]
[There’s only one solution to this, and that’s for the brother to hold firm. So Xie Qingci’s fans, if you’re planning to passionately bash, don’t come; go advise him instead.]
[I couldn’t refuse a mature beautiful sister either; Yu Xia is indeed alluring!]
[Is anyone in the universe actually anticipating the Variety Show itself? Sister, you need to be well-prepared! It seems quite risky.]
[Let’s guess, what kind of gossip will come out this time? At least it will add a bit of amusement to my tedious work hours, although I won’t believe it.]
[Let’s just joke around, Xie Qingci must be crazy to think about dating at this time, and Yu Xia is a career-driven woman, really not that into men]
[...]
Everyone was skating at the edge of the truth, but no one truly believed it.
It was considered a rare sight, as if her Weibo had become a gathering place for ethical gossipers.
"Yu Xia!"
"Coming!" She handed the phone to Mei and walked back steadily on her high heels.
Mei was excitedly surfing Weibo, while He Ci, who had just finished discussing cooperation matters, frowned deeply at the topic’s rising popularity on Weibo.
"What are they doing? What is Xie Qingci doing?!"
In private, other people’s kids are always criticized more.
Mei explained, "It’s just a coincidence; the response is actually pretty normal."
He Ci squinted at her, fixing her with a guilty gaze.
"Mei, do you know something?"
Mei stammered, "Know what? Everything I know you also know, He."
"You stick by her every day; you must have seen it when Xie Qingci was persistently pestering, right?"
"...Yes, I saw it." So that’s it then.
He Ci leaned closer, awkward yet gritting his teeth, "What does Xie Qingci call her normally? You know, some sort of unique nickname."
Mei pretended to think, "He calls her sister."
"I knew it!"
Xie Qingci is definitely flirting with Yu Xia in the comments! Otherwise, why did Yu Xia stare at the comments for so long?
Seriously, people are not what they seem; he looks like a decent young man, how is he so obsessed with romance!
He was so angry, he looked like an old father whose prized cabbage had been stolen, muttering under his breath.
"Look, look, the fans below are all suspicious, and he still talks about not going public, but the first shot has already been fired!"
"Certainly, some of his fans will come over to bash Yu Xia!"
"What nonsense? His fans have the nerve to say Yu Xia is clinging to him? Nonsense!"
Mei hurried to console him, "Calm down, He, calm down."
"How should we respond to these comments? Quickly create a new account and clap back!"
"..." Mei looked at the pimple on his forehead caused by his hormonal imbalance, genuinely racking her brains, "Just say she has plenty of suitors, no interest in a little brother?"
He Ci: "Good thing you don’t draft the studio’s copy; otherwise, Yu Xia would already be insulted to being a nobody! Let me handle it!"
Mei tip-toed to watch him type furiously.
[Please, hasn’t Yu Xia’s two past boyfriends been better than him? Yu Xia has high standards, okay? Clinging to him? More like he’s the one clinging to her!]
[Being rumored with Yu Xia is his good fortune! In recent years, which of her rumored partners haven’t been a step up? Besides, you can tell just by looking, Xie Qingci is a clingy little brat!]
Mei: "...That’s enough, that’s enough, He, no need to let your feelings fuel this anymore, sis has finished filming."
He Ci stopped typing, at least breathing a sigh of relief.
Yu Xia approached and asked, "What’s up?"
Looking like he had just triumphed over a domineering daughter-in-law.
He Ci handed her the phone, "Take a look yourself; this is what you call not public? He might as well passionately kiss you on the show and ignite the internet!"
After saying this, he thought it might actually happen, so he quickly whispered with wide eyes:
"Keep an eye on him to be appropriate; I don’t want to see you two hand in hand, mouth to mouth on the show, with him getting a tattoo of yours and you of his name, those stupid actions. You won’t need netizens; I’ll criticize you both!"
Yu Xia: "Relax, just by announcing our participation in the show, it will naturally arouse interest, it was expected. As for the show, I pledge to interact sensibly, alright?"
"Your guarantee is trustworthy? If he says you are the moon, the pearl, the rose, you might surrender."
Mei had never heard this before, wide-eyed and curiously asking, "Did he really say that? Is that how he got his way? Sis, you really like hearing this kind of thing?"
No wonder those who have chased her madly before didn’t succeed; turns out they were using the wrong methods!
"...Misunderstanding," Yu Xia really wanted to fly back to the night and take that phrase back, "It was just a casual remark. Anyway, filming is done, let’s go, let’s go."
He Ci looked at her as if frustrated with her falling for Xie Qingci.
In the car sending her home, He Ci emphasized seriously, "During this time, you’re not allowed to meet him every day. There’s definitely paparazzi lurking for you both these days."
She waved it off, "Don’t worry, he’s busy outside, no time to come back."
"No wonder I see you glued to your phone all the time. Also, why have you been posting on Weibo every few days? Posting with pictures, with all angles of you?"
Yu Xia coughed lightly.
"Giving back to new and old fans."
He Ci didn’t buy it, "You mean giving back to new and old boyfriends? Even Yu Zhi liked it yesterday."
She touched her nose, yet only remembered yesterday Xie Qingci asking for her to initiate a kiss in the video.
