They switched to a different location and ordered so desserts and snacks, and after finishing, they moved yet again for drinks.
By the ti they parted, the sky had turned dark.
After seeing off Jiang Chenyue, Rong Yan rembered that she seed to have not sent any ssages to a certain soone throughout the whole day.
She clumsily searched for her phone.
Initially thinking it would be full of missed calls, it was surprisingly bare with not a single call. Instead, there was a news push—"The youngest Oscar-winning actress has a shocking background, is she really a wealthy heiress?"
The headline successfully caught Rong Yan’s attention.
Clicking to read the content, indeed, it was reporting on Chu Xi, saying an inford source revealed that they saw Chu Xi at The General’s Wife’s birthday banquet, and she was personally introduced to the old lady by Madam Major General. Chu Xi was also lavish, gifting one of Mr. Kai’s paintings as a birthday present, and her extravagant style beca the focal point of the entire event blah blah blah...
Rong Yan skimd through the article.
Although it didn’t directly state that Chu Xi was Miss Chu of the Chu Family, the implication was quite obvious, just short of outright stating it.
Chu Xi had just won an Oscar in ma and returned to her country for the first ti with soaring popularity. dia journalists couldn’t wait to find talking points about her. With the release of this news, many dia and self-dia started following the story. Her fans were naturally overjoyed, wishing to hype their idol three thousand tis over, so everyone knew that their idol was not like other seductive cheap stuff in the showbiz, but a real actress who genuinely liked acting, not those female stars with ulterior motives for fa!
Now among the dostic female celebrities, she was the one with the most buzz.
Whether it be praise or scorn, there were always people willing to ntion her in the comnts.
Logging onto Weibo, she saw it was true, under the news of Chu Xi’s fans praising her distinction, this ’fa-seeking, unscrupulous publicity stunt’ female star was nad the most. Haters seed to use all the vitriol they knew in their lives on her, as nasty as the insults could be.
In short, Chu Xi was the swan in the sky, while she was just the toad in the pond vying for attention.
After casually browsing, Rong Yan’s mood was not the slightest bit affected by the online abuse, calmly exiting Weibo and putting her phone back in her bag. She hailed a cab, took Little Baby’s hand with a faint smile, "Baby, let’s go ho~"

Jiang Chenyue returned to Chu Garden ahead of Rong Yan.
The tall, languid man was instructing the servants to prepare dinner.
He was wearing a loose sweater with a neckline that hung precariously, paired with casual jeans and a pair of cotton slippers. His disheveled hair seed recently washed, the tips still showing damp droplets. His skin, inheriting the Chu Family’s distinct paleness, was that cold shade of white, even more evident after a bath, making his thin lips seem even redder. His eyes, narrowly set, had a lazy appearance...
If he set aside his usual abominable antics, and looked purely at his facial value, he definitely would not lose out to Li Shengxiao.
It’s just a sha that his usual playful, fickle personality made it rare for soone to notice what he looked like!
"Today I feel like sothing light, make so jade shrimp, the rest is up to you. Don’t make it too salty or too bland!"
Jiang Chenyue caught this phrase as soon as she walked in, furrowed her brows in displeasure, and said to him, "Aren’t you just making it difficult for them? What’s considered not too salty, and what’s considered not too bland. A man should not be so picky. Even your uncle is not like this!"
