Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Helping to Choose a Gift

Mu Zeyu has always had a sharp eye for people. He was the one who single-handedly made "Summer Light Years" a sensation back in the day.

Xia Xiyan froze for a moment. "Are you talking about Xia Shiyi?"

"Yes, your half-sister!"

Xiyan awkwardly set down the little spoon in her hand. "Oh, her. She’s in the same school as me now, but today she just got booted from the honors class to the regular class..."

"And so what?" Mu Zeyu looked at Xiyan. "Whether it’s the honors class or the regular class, a fancy private school or an ordinary one—stripping away her identity as a student, she still holds plenty of other identities. A trending star, a Goddess, a rising young actress... But you? Right now, you’re stuck, going nowhere."

"Zeyu-ge, back when you were mentoring me, you always got on my case. Now we haven’t seen each other in forever, and here you are, still lecturing me..." Xiyan pouted slightly.

"I’m doing this for your own good!"

Xiyan replied defiantly, "I want to move forward too! I want to overtake Xia Shiyi! But I’m in this state—what can I do?"

Mu Zeyu rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Alright, alright, let me just tell you straight. Fifty days from now, not only will your original looks be restored, but you’ll also regain your freedom. So... do you want to sign with my company?"

"Oh~~~" Xiyan dragged out her tone. "So that’s why you asked me out—trying to woo me away, huh~"

"Brat." Mu Zeyu gave Xiyan a playful smack on the head. "Although our company has just started, the scale is still limited, and resources are admittedly... awkward. But you know how I treat you—there’s no way I’d shortchange you. Let’s make a comeback in the entertainment industry together."

"Sure, I’ll listen to you." Xiyan nodded. Zeyu-ge was really such a good person; being with him made her feel at ease.

"Just one thing... I didn’t start a record label but a film company. Are you interested in that?"

"Absolutely~!" Xiyan smacked the table. "You know my special skill! Honestly, compared to being a singer and releasing albums, what I truly love is acting!"

Xiyan’s special skill was, of course, her phenomenal memory—a near-photographic recall.

She had already showcased this skill during the drama club auditions before.

Mu Zeyu nodded in satisfaction. Thankfully, this girl hadn’t been crushed by what had happened five years ago.

"I’ll go back and have the contract drafted. Let’s stay in touch over the next few days."

"Mm-hmm, sure!" Xiyan nodded enthusiastically and scooped up a massive bite of ice cream.

With a hint of indulgence in his gaze, Mu Zeyu looked at Xiyan and then picked up the briefcase beside him. "Alright, let’s head out."

"Where to?"

"Help me pick out a gift."

"Huh? A gift? What kind of gift?"

"Well... there’s someone very important to me. It’s the upcoming six-year anniversary of us knowing each other. I have no idea what you girls like, so come help me pick something out."

"Ooh ooh, sure thing! When will you introduce sis-in-law to me so I can properly meet her?"

Mu Zeyu adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled gently. "Next time, if there’s an opportunity."

"But I haven’t finished eating yet!"

Mu Zeyu intentionally shot her an exaggerated glare. "Once we’ve picked out the gift, I’ll treat you to some meat!"

"Hooray, I was waiting for those magical words~"

*——*——*

Meanwhile...

Xia Shiyi, fuming after being provoked by Xiyan, was frantically shopping and splurging with her credit card to vent her frustrations.

Suddenly, she caught sight of a familiar figure.

Wait a minute, isn’t that Xia Xiyan, that bit--?!
