The person who opened the door was Qian Lingling.
“Little Qian, I came to visit my sister,” Xia Yuansi tried hard not to appear too submissive.
There are two women that Xia Yuansi dislikes the most. First is his sister, Xia Shutong, and second is Qian Lingling, who was raised by his sister.
Although both of them have a delicate and pitiful appearance, their personalities are strangely sharp and intimidating. Xia Shutong goes without saying, but even Qian Lingling unconsciously makes Xia Yuansi feel afraid.
But that was all before Xia Shutong’s accident. Now that Xia Shutong has had an accident, Xia Yuansi does not believe that Qian Lingling can hold on for much longer without her backing.
By then, she will have no choice but to kneel before him, begging for mercy.
Xia Yuansi suppressed the glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes and followed Qian Lingling into the hospital room.
Instead of looking at the bed first, he instinctively glanced at the television – the sound was too loud.
The screen was broadcasting the live coverage of the Jin Gui Film Festival Awards ceremony. It was about to announce the winners of the Best Actor and Best Actress categories, and the live atmosphere was very noisy.
With such noise, how could there be any semblance of a hospital room?
Suddenly, Xia Yuansi remembered that Xia Shutong was one of the sponsors of this year’s Jin Gui Festival. If Xia Shutong hadn’t been in a car accident, she would have been the presenter for the Best Actress award tonight…
Xia Yuansi suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart. His whole body stiffened as he slowly turned around. When his gaze shifted to the hospital bed, he could barely hide the fear and astonishment on his face.
Xia Shutong was half lying on the bed, supporting her head with one hand. She appeared somewhat weak, but her almond-shaped eyes stared at him with a smile that seemed more mocking than genuine, filled with undisguised contempt.
Xia Shutong, she… she’s actually fine?!
How is that possible?
Under Xia Shutong’s gaze, Xia Yuansi’s back involuntarily broke out in goosebumps. After a long while, he managed to say, “Sis…Sister is the TV volume a bit too loud? I-I’m afraid it might disturb your rest.”
“Oh?” Xia Shutong raised an eyebrow, her smile becoming even more disdainful.
She threw the remote control in her hand toward Xia Yuansi, with a hint of teasing in her tone. “Then adjust it yourself, can’t you?”
Perhaps due to her body still not fully recovered, Xia Shutong lacked strength. Her movements were light and feeble, and couldn’t possibly hurt anyone.
Xia Yuansi reflexively took a step back, almost dropping the remote control.
His mind was filled with fear.
Trembling, Xia Yuansi lowered the volume of the TV. As he looked up, he locked eyes with Qian Lingling.
Without even realizing it, his smile carried a hint of flattery.
Qian Lingling pointed to a chair beside the sickbed.
Xia Yuansi didn’t dare to look back at Xia Shutong’s face and quickly sat on the chair.
After a while, he regained his composure and turned to Xia Shutong, “Sis…”
Before Xia Yuansi could say anything, the TV host’s voice abruptly drowned him out.
“Congratulations to the winner of the Best Actress award at this year’s Jin Gui Film Festival, Miss Yun Feiwu!”
Xia Shutong’s pupils didn’t even flicker as she watched the TV screen intently.
Xia Yuansi: “…”
He didn’t dare to disturb Xia Shutong while she was watching TV. Awkwardly scratching his head, he pretended to be interested and shifted his gaze to the television as well.
The camera was focused on Yun Feiwu, the reigning Best Actress of this year.
Xia Yuansi’s gaze unintentionally froze for a moment.
Yun Feiwu made her debut at the age of thirteen, and now it has been ten years. During this decade, she has acted in numerous well-known movies and TV dramas. It can be said that no one in the country doesn’t know Yun Feiwu.
Of course, Xia Yuansi also knew Yun Feiwu. However, after following his father into this industry and experiencing its dirty side, he naturally looked down upon those so-called goddesses and top actresses.
Hah, pretending to be so noble in front of the camera, most people are just toys in the hands of the investors once they step off the set.
In all these years, there have never been any scandals or rumors surrounding Yun Feiwu, let alone any involvement in the hidden rules.
However, those in the industry are well aware that Yun Feiwu definitely has a background. She has been extremely successful in recent years.
As for Yun Feiwu’s background, whether it’s her family or a powerful backer…
Outsiders don’t know, but Xia Yuansi, being from a privileged background, knows it very well. Yun Feiwu was born in a small county in Yuncheng. Her family is relatively wealthy in the county, but it is limited to a few houses in the suburbs. How could these assets bring her such success in the entertainment industry?
However, at this moment, the image of Yun Feiwu on the TV was really captivating…
Xia Yuansi couldn’t help but stare at it in awe.
Not only Xia Yuansi but even Xia Shutong’s gaze was drawn to the woman on the screen.
The first thing Xia Shutong noticed was her face.
Yun Feiwu had a face that could be considered bewitching, with delicate features that were just perfect. Her skin was fair as snow, her eyebrows were picturesque, her nose was petite and elegant, and her deep gray eyes flickered like vast stars.
She was wearing a long dress in the color of the night sky, which accentuated her body’s curves perfectly. Under the illumination of the hall’s lights, she emitted an undeniable radiance.
She was so beautiful.
Yet, her expression was indifferent, and there was no hint of emotion in her profound gray eyes as she walked towards the stage to receive the award.
She was beautiful, but there was a sense of distance, an icy and aloof aura that surrounded her.
It was as if… she was a lone wolf living in seclusion.
“Yun Feiwu…” Xia Shutong silently whispered the name in her heart.
