Chapter Fifty-One: Whatever

  "Big sister, you're going into battle tonight, can you defeat the enemy with just a pair of walnut eyes?! It's not embarrassing enough! One game..."

  You've been crying so much that you're a mess, what else can I say to you?! Don't you know this is a breakup?! Li Jinai scolded while putting makeup on Xia Xuan.

  What era is this, every opera performance is a tear-jerking drama, it's really interesting! Young lady, haven't you had enough of the Butterfly Lovers' story?! Haven't you gotten tired of Shakespeare's works?! What kind of hobby is this?!

  "It's just so touching!" Xia Xian pouted, letting Li Jinai apply makeup on her face. If she didn't cover up properly today, it would be impossible for her to see anyone.

  Xia Xuan usually doesn't have such thoughts, she never wastes time on her face, just like Mo Xiao Xiao, and she doesn't pay attention to her skin at all. Maybe this interest was infected by Mo Xiao Xiao!

  "If it were in a British Broadway, it might still be authentic. But you're listening to this kind of thing here, all in Mandarin, without any flavor at all! And yet you can still cry like that!" Li Jina was thoroughly impressed, Miss Xia, your emotions are really not ordinary fragile!

  "Sister, it's only authentic in New York. Besides, if it wasn't Mandarin, I wouldn't be like this, because I don't understand anything else!" Xia Xian said with wide eyes.

  Xia Xian's English has already passed the CET-4 and CET-6, and he has been working hard to improve his IELTS score over the years, but unfortunately, he still can't reach the standard. In comparison, Mo Xiao Xiao is much better off, barely passing the IELTS with a score that just meets the requirement, thus becoming the undisputed champion of English in a totally legitimate way.

  But don't think Xia Xian's English is lagging behind, just because he can't write well doesn't mean he can't practice! Xia Xian was a teaching assistant during his graduate studies, so listening to English is no problem at all!

  "Please, stop staring, it's already swollen so much! Even with heavy makeup, I won't be able to cover up this flaw!" Li Jina sighed and redrew her eyes again.

  Xia Xian used cold water to apply and hot water to scald, not treating her eyes as eyes at all. She made every effort to reduce the swelling of this pair of originally enchanting big eyes. Wearing sunglasses, she attended classes for a whole morning, but unexpectedly, her eyes were still so swollen. Li Jina couldn't help but sigh, "Another day, I must see this opera with my own eyes and see what kind of crying appearance I can make."

  "Xuan Xuan, the young master of the Wang family is pursuing you, and he confessed to you in front of everyone, including reporters. You even dared to reject him, I must pay my respects to you!" Li Jina couldn't help but wonder why Xia Xuan refused him.

  At first, Miss Li's boyfriend won her heart with a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolate on Christmas. But Wang Shao gave so many roses and blue mystics that he could open a flower shop! How come Xia Xian wasn't moved at all?

  Not only that, Comrade Xia Xian! Look at that reporter, he has more hair than you do. How dare you treat Wang Shao like this?

  "You're wrong, I didn't refuse in front of the reporter, I refused very politely!" Xia Xian explained repeatedly.

  Not even leaving a tiny bit of error for Li Jinai, perhaps she doesn't think this is a tiny bit of error.

  "What's the difference? The reports are all out in the open, you're just making it hard for Wang Shao to show his face! There's nothing wrong with dating a rich second-generation kid, and who knows, maybe one day they'll break up and she can even get a huge breakup fee!" Li Jina said with a smile.

  How many revolutionary precedents have told Miss Li that when it comes to dating, she should find a rich second generation, and when it comes to marriage, the one from her family is still better, so she is still relatively satisfied.

  "You're really incapable of producing anything good! I'm telling you, I'm going to work hard and make money now. Once I have money, I'll give all my savings to my dad and become a rich second-generation!" Xia Xian said with a smug expression.

  "You're too arrogant!" Li Jina heard this and her hand shook, smudging her eyeliner.

  "It's just so-so!" Xia Xuan still had an expression that didn't detect any sarcasm from Li Jina, and he still looked very pleased with himself.

  "But you're also famous now, I reckon in the future if someone wants to pursue you, they'll have to measure up to Wang Shao's family background, looks, conduct, education...” Li Jina was listing out Wang Rui's advantages as if she were counting her treasures.

  "Stop, stop! I want to see how it's reported in the news. Why do I get the feeling that all public opinion is on Wang Shao's side?" Xia Xian hastily pushed away Li Jina's hand and didn't even care about the eye line that had just been drawn halfway, running to the computer to search for today's news.

  "The rich second generation is asking for love on the street, should beautiful women have no bottom line!" Xia Xian read slowly.

  My goodness! Which editor is so loving, why can't they use a question mark? Using an exclamation mark is what's wrong! You damn it! I, Xia Xian, was already studying hard back then, and you were still playing with mud somewhere!

  Look at the editor, damn! Guan Mei Ting!

  Mei Shan's overbearing younger sister, known for her sharp tongue and quick wit, works at another magazine company in the city called Pure Beauty Magazine. In recent years, the two magazine companies have been competing fiercely to sell more copies, always thinking they would come out on top, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse and they ended up losing to someone else!

  I swear! If I don't avenge this grudge, then Xia Xian is no woman!

  "What are you going to do about it?" Li Jina raised an eyebrow and waved the eyeliner pen in her hand, with her understanding of Xia Xian, he shouldn't just let it go like this!

  "What else can I do, doesn't matter! The magazine company took advantage of me and made a fortune, I couldn't show weakness. So tonight's interview will be up to me! Taking advantage of my current popularity, I believe this issue of the magazine will be a sensation when it comes out!" Xia Xian didn't know where he learned his business skills from, but Li Jina was left speechless.

  "Your eyes are indeed stunning!" Li Jina said, waving the eyeliner pen a few times, enunciating each word.

  Xia Xian was exhausted and could only sit back quietly, letting Li Jina continue to paint. This face had been painted for nearly two hours now, especially those eyes, which were a challenge that Li Jina had never faced before!

  "I told Nan Xuechang to send you to the magazine office," Li Jina said calmly, "it's best if not too many people see your eyes."

  "You're telling me I'm not skilled enough?" Xia Xuan raised an eyebrow and said.

  "Be honest! Be careful not to poke your eyes out!" Li Jina slapped Xia Xian's head and threatened.

  Big sister, don't you know your eyes are hard to draw? Smash my signboard!

  "Nan Xuechang has been quite busy lately, I don't want to bother him." Xia Xian sat honestly and quietly, allowing Li Jin'ai's **.

  "Hurry up and get out of my sight! Don't you ever think about how much trouble you've caused others in these few years? Don't pretend to care here!" Li Jina pouted, heartlessly pointing out Xia Xian's flaws. She couldn't stand Xia Xian's considerate nature.

  "Alright, alright, hurry up and put it on for me! I still have to rush to the magazine office! So nervous!" Xia Xian's heart was racing just thinking about going into battle tonight.

  "Got it! Got it!" Li Jina replied with a grin.

  Li Jina again nagged Xia Xuan for half a day, and finally the beauty emerged from her bath! Xia Xuan took one look in the mirror and almost vomited blood. Her eyes were no longer swollen, but her pride and joy - her big eyes - had turned into panda eyes!
