Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 575 - 577: Let Me Know When You Need Money

The full moon babies, Shitou and Beibei, had grown a bit and looked very adorable.

Especially Shitou, who was not a normal baby, occasionally indulged in acting cute unintentionally, and it could be said that everyone loved him upon seeing him.

But as a child who had just turned a month old, Xia Xiao softly reminded Shitou to restrain himself, "You’re only a full moon baby right now, act how a full moon baby should, or how a baby under one year old should. You’ve seen how Feiyang and Feiyue were when they were little. Don’t overdo it, or you might end up being taken in for research."

Shitou pouted and hummed twice, but in the end, he didn’t continue behaving too extraordinarily; he didn’t wish to be taken away for research.

Xia Weiguo and Li Wenjuan had come by plane, while Xia Xiao’s brothers, sisters, aunts, and uncles—a large crowd—were all of the grandparent’s generation, so when counting all the descendents, there were indeed quite a few.

The Gao family was bustling with liveliness. Feiyue, Feiyi, Ye Jia, Feiteng, and Feiling had all returned, and looking at the two little babies at home, everyone’s faces beamed with joy.

The Ge Lai family had also arrived. Ge Lai’s wife greeted Ge Liang and Weilin with a smile, obviously having been informed by Ge Lai about Ge Liang’s identity.

Xia Xiao also met Ge Lai’s wife, a very composed woman, quite intellectual, but she didn’t come across as domineering when she spoke; she was rather tender and gentle.

Xia Xiao felt that Ge Lai had been through more twists and turns in his earlier life, but fate wasn’t too harsh on him after all, for it gave Ge Lai such a good wife.

These days, Ge Lai had become a big boss in the film company, as well as a major director. Feiling had made a fortune in the last few years, which wouldn’t have been possible without Ge Lai’s support.

Moreover, Ge Lai was now planning a collaboration with foreign partners to produce big movies and had invited Feiling to be the leading actress. Feiling’s company had also secured her a role in a foreign film, so she was incredibly busy.

But with her career going smoothly and making lots of money, Feiling generously said to Xia Xiao, "Mom, whenever you need money, just let me know."

Xia Xiao laughed and replied proudly, "Okay, I’ll ask you when I need it."

Feiling giggeled and said, "I feel like I’m quite lucky. Although some people look down on acting as a profession, I love it, and I feel like I was born to be an actress. Plus, I’ve been lucky—not to mention how good Uncle Ge has been to me—even now, our company prioritizes me, considering me first for many resources, so my international path is smoother too."

Upon hearing Feiling mention her company, Xia Xiao knew it had been acquired, and the boss had changed. The previous boss was the father of Feiling’s classmate, but he had divorced after an affair and a love child scandal, leading Feiling’s classmate and her mother to go abroad.

"Did you figure out who the new boss is?" Xia Xiao asked.

Feiling shook her head, "Who knows? He studied abroad. As long as he has backing, that’s all that matters. My elder and second brothers couldn’t find out after looking into it; it’s quite mysterious. And for someone whom we can’t find anything about, the power behind him must be deeper than ours."

Xia Xiao said, "Weren’t you planning on establishing your studio? Why haven’t you started preparing yet?"

"I’m considering it. But now, the company treats me like I’m an ancestor to be worshipped. They were always polite to me before, but now they actively push all resources in front of me, so much so that I suspect the company has some ulterior motive toward me. But I haven’t seen them make any moves, and the actresses who were jealous of me or offended me have all been sidelined."

Feiling pondered, "I feel someone’s backing me, even the new boss is trying to please me. If it weren’t for his happy family and two smart, adorable children, I might even suspect the new boss fancied me."

Feiling was perplexed; although the company had supported her before, never had they handed all resources to her so readily, considering others only if she declined.

Xia Xiao advised, "No matter what, be cautious. Even though you’re the company’s cash cow, too much eagerness isn’t quite right. There’s a saying that anything abnormal is a sign of trouble. You should be aware of this, knowing how complicated show business can be. But your dad and your brother are looking out for you, dealing with the relationships behind the scenes, so your path is smoother than others’."

Feiling nodded, "I know, so I’m staying alert. But right now the company isn’t showing any signs, and tomorrow I have to go abroad for a shoot. The company landed me another role too."

"What film?" asked Xia Xiao.

"It’s about disc wars, I’m playing an important supporting role, female number three," replied Feiling.

Xia Xiao didn’t inquire further, knowing all too well how difficult it was for domestic actresses to break into the international scene and to make a name for themselves abroad.

"You just keep working hard, my daughter is the best," Xia Xiao encouraged Feiling.

Feiling replied, "Mom, I’ll make you proud."

Xia Xiao smiled and said, "Go call your elder brother and sister-in-law down, we’re getting ready to head to the hotel."

Immediately, Feiling went upstairs while Xia Xiao went out to greet relatives and friends.

Having finished the postpartum period, Li Min had gained more freedom in her activities and got even heavier than during her pregnancy.

At this time, Li Min’s face was full of worries; at her height of 1.63 meters, she now weighed 140 pounds. Standing in front of the mirror, she felt almost like crying.

Feiyang assured her, "It’s okay, I won’t mind."

"It’s not about you minding," Li Min retorted, giving Feiyang a glare, "Dare to mind me."

Feiyang laughed, "I dare not. My wife has worked hard."

Feiling overheard the conversation since the door wasn’t closed, and chimed in with a laugh, "Big sis, after you wean Shitou and Beibei, you can go to the gym to work out. That should help you slim down."

Feiyang disagreed, "Why bother with the gym? Just go to the military base and train with the troops—it’s much more effective than a gym."

Li Min nodded, "Right, when the kids turn one, I’ll apply to train with the army." She definitely needed to shed some weight from her belly and the rest of her body.

Without further comment, as military folk thought differently from them, Feiling said, "Mom told me to gather you, we’re getting ready to leave for the hotel. Little Brother has already arranged everything."

With that, the Gao family set out, a swarm of people loading into cars, driving away, and pulling up into the hotel’s parking garage.

Relatives from the Li and Ning Families had also arrived, and there were many of them. Gao Jiaxing, Xia Xiao, as well as Feiyang, Li Min, their familiar and friendly acquaintances, and even Ye Jia’s maternal family were all present.

One could say the entire floor of the hotel was booked by the Gao family. Given the large number of relatives and friends, the full moon celebration was held with great fanfare.
