The Amnesiac Drama Queen Is Crashing the Live Stream - Chapter 30.2
Seeing this, Yu Feifei immediately changed her tone, trying to salvage the situation:
What did you say? What on earth is wrong with Pei Luoqing’s brain? She wasted our Princess’s entire afternoon. Next time, we won’t help her dress up at all!
Divorce, she absolutely must get a divorce, and she should leave with nothing. How dare a woman like her deserve our baby? She’s not worthy!
Our Xiao Xing has suffered an immense injustice. Don’t think we don’t know she was already 25 when she took over Yunjì, but our Xiao Xing is only 23. How dare she say you’re all talk and no action?
She’s such a dog, such a dog! When we turn 28, we’ll trample Yunjì under our feet and make her kneel and beg you every day!
Ungrateful wretch, she can grow old alone!
It had to be said, this barrage of words quickly soothed Xia Xingtang’s fragile, delicate glass heart.
But only a little.
Xia Xingtang was still not completely appeased and angrily tapped on her phone: Do you know what she said at the end just now?
She actually said the actors in the film were too ugly and asked me to practice with her in person (smirk emoji).
Yu Feifei: Damn, you should’ve said so earlier! I thought you two were really watching Batman at home. Turns out you’ve already fast-forwarded to watching ‘films’ together! (dog holding a flower emoji)
That kind of ‘film’ is definitely something two people should watch secretly at home~
Xia Xingtang: “…”
Don’t get the wrong idea! It’s a normal film with kissing and bed scenes! A normal one! (angry emoji)
Yu Feifei could feel Xia Xingtang’s fury through the screen.
But she had already exhausted all the insults she could muster and couldn’t think of any other words to curse Pei Luoqing at the moment.
Meanwhile, Xia Xingtang kept sending message after message, and leaving her hanging wasn’t an option.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea popped into Yu Feifei’s mind.
Yu Feifei: How about you go on Taobao and find a “roasting group”? You know, the opposite of those “praise groups.” As soon as you join, they’ll curse Pei Luoqing until she questions her entire existence.
Xia Xingtang: “…”
She had seen people pranking others with the ‘lonely frog’ meme on Valentine’s Day before, but she never imagined there were dedicated chat groups just for cursing people out?
Truly, Taobao had everything one could possibly imagine.
But Xia Xingtang only entertained this wicked thought for a brief moment before dismissing it.
After all, she was the one who started this whole teacher-student roleplay charade. It wouldn’t be fair for her to play with fire while forbidding Pei Luoqing from even lighting a match.
Today was the romantic 520 day, and Pei Luoqing had spent the whole evening coaxing and appeasing her. Plus, considering that kiss earlier…
Maybe… maybe she should just let it go?
Actually, she didn’t hate Pei Luoqing that much.
Just a little, just a tiny bit.
More importantly, if she really added Pei Luoqing to a cursing group and Pei Luoqing accidentally mentioned it to Xia Qingyue during conversation someday, she would definitely be laughed at mercilessly by Xia Qingyue.
Xia Xingtang replied: “Forget it, I’m tired and going to bed now.”
After sending the message, she tossed her phone onto the bathroom counter, quickly removed her makeup, and sank into the bathtub.
When people get lost in wild thoughts, insomnia often follows.
Why did Pei Luoqing take the initiative to kiss her?
Where did Pei Luoqing learn those kissing skills anyway?
When Pei Luoqing said that underwater kiss was her first kiss, was that actually a lie?
These restless thoughts persisted until the next morning, replaying the events from the home theater in her mind like a looping film.
But then again, her marriage with Pei Luoqing was just a superficial business alliance. Even if Pei Luoqing had dated hundreds of people before, this marriage wouldn’t fall apart.
Then she recalled Pei Luoqing’s downcast eyes last night, right before she pushed her away and turned to leave.
Did she seem… a little disappointed?
To be honest, Xia Xingtang felt somewhat guilty.
Gloomily, she opened her phone. At the top of her WeChat chats was still last night’s conversation with Yu Feifei, where she had been passionately venting about Pei Luoqing.
Looking at her lengthy condemnations, Xia Xingtang’s conscience grew even more uneasy.
Actually, Pei Luoqing had been quite a decent date last night.
Even that theoretical discussion incident was probably unintentional.
After all, recently while she was getting familiar with her own investments, whenever she encountered something, she didn’t understand, she would directly message Pei Luoqing. The other woman would immediately provide explanations and even send numerous reference materials, clear, logical, and comprehensive.
At least it seemed like she wouldn’t need to ask Xia Qingyue for pocket money to cover this quarter’s losses.
But she had still been badmouthing Pei Luoqing to Yu Feifei… That didn’t feel right either…
This subtle sense of guilt reached its peak when Pei Luoqing knocked on her door and brought in a bowl of seafood congee.
The congee had been simmered for a long time, and she recognized all the ingredients from what she’d seen in the refrigerator. It was clearly made by Pei Luoqing herself.
Xia Xingtang was filled with anxiety.
Just as she was about to say something, Pei Luoqing received a phone call and hurried off to the study.
But from Xia Xingtang’s perspective, it seemed like Pei Luoqing was avoiding her by leaving so abruptly.
What if Pei Luoqing stopped coaxing her? What if she didn’t want to continue this dating pretense anymore?
Whimper…
She tossed and turned in bed, immersed in inexplicable regret.
After finishing her morning routine, while eating the congee, Xia Xingtang sent a message to Yu Feifei: “Actually, she’s not that annoying after all (image of a little country dog peeking out)”
Surprisingly, Yu Feifei was already awake this early and replied instantly: “??? By ‘she’? Do you mean Pei Luoqing?”
Soon, before Xia Xingtang could reply, she had an epiphany: [Oh, so you two made up again, right?]
Xia Xingtang found herself a good excuse: [It’s not like I have to learn about company management and investments from her… She’s actually quite generous and easy to talk to. I can’t just turn my back on money, can I?]
[Weren’t you the one who helped my sister and her hide her identity just for that little investment in the film crew? You made me misunderstand for over a month, thinking she was a live-in son-in-law.]
Mentioning this, Yu Feifei immediately backed down.
But she had no choice, who didn’t wish they had a sister like Xia Qingyue, who didn’t care about money and only wanted to make her sister happy?
Her family didn’t support her entering the entertainment industry, so naturally, they didn’t leave her much money. How could she afford to invest in a film?
And to avoid dealing with investors, she always insisted on being the biggest investor in the crew, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Yu Feifei sighed and went along with Xia Xingtang: [Yes, yes, money is so important. Bowing down for money isn’t shameful. Let’s just give in to Pei Luoqing this once.]
Xia Xingtang: [And she just made me seafood congee on her own initiative. It looks like she simmered it for a long time.]
[Do you think I should show some appreciation too?]
[But it seems like she doesn’t lack anything.]
Yu Feifei thought for a moment, opened Taobao directly, and sent over a link: [Bringing a touch of comfort to the confidence-lacking you. Service motto: Never hesitate to praise you, brightening up your whole day!]
[This is all I can do for you. Go for it quickly.]
Xia Xingtang: “…”
Is this thing really useful?
But she truly had no idea how to bring it up with Pei Luoqing, so she decided to give it a shot anyway.
After finishing her call in the study, Pei Luoqing checked the time and was about to go collect the bowls.
Just then, her WeChat lit up.
She unlocked her screen and found that Xia Xingtang had invited her into a WeChat group named “Praise You, Praise You, Only Want to Praise You.”
The moment she joined, messages started flooding in like a bombardment, rapidly increasing.
[Ding ding ding ding, whose fairy tale book was left open, letting the princess escape?]
[Let me see, whose radiance is so dazzling it made my eyes sparkle. Ah! It’s President Pei who’s here!]
Pei Luoqing: ???
[Warmly welcome the outstanding President Pei, a rarity in this world! Clap clap clap!]
[President Pei is truly so beautiful she could make fish sink and birds fall, outshine the moon and put flowers to shame! Is such beauty even real?]
[President Pei, promise me, don’t descend to the mortal world so easily, okay? How are the rest of us mortals supposed to live with you around? Wuwuwu~]
[Sister, your legs aren’t legs, they’re the spring waters of the Seine. Sister, your waist isn’t a waist, it’s the roses of Bulgaria!]
Pei Luoqing: …?
