Chapter 221 Make Anna Give Up

Song Xi hesitated to look at the comments. She felt she had performed well, but this was her first commercial, and if the feedback was harsh, it would affect her future resources.

So, her fingers hovered, going back and forth, unsure whether to click.

Lou Yuming, standing beside her, was getting anxious. He reached out and opened the comments for her.

Song Xi turned her head, startled, "You!"

Lou Yuming said matter-of-factly, "No ambition. How do you expect to survive in the entertainment industry like this?"

Song Xi scoffed.

Lou Yuming leaned in, glanced at the screen, and then sat back straight. "Worrying about nothing."

Song Xi's expression brightened. She lowered her head and let out a sigh of relief.

【OMG!! Sunny is Sunny for a reason! yyds! Especially the twist at the end, it gave me goosebumps. The female lead going on a date in the last scene, with no makeup! This is telling all girls to be confident, that confidence is the most beautiful thing!】

【God, this is the most meaningful commercial I've seen this year! I didn't even recognize her at first, that the female lead was Song Xi [shocked]】

【What???? The female lead is Song Xi? [confused face]】

【Hahaha damn, she looks so beautiful with no makeup!! So beautiful, so beautiful! [drooling emojis]】

【...Speechless, this is clearly fake no-makeup, brainless fan, so awkward】

【You upstairs, what's your problem? What do you mean by brainless fan? Is it that hard to admit someone is beautiful?】

【Today is truly eye-opening. Song Xi actually has fans! The internet really has no memory. She caused such a scene before and is still crawling out? Disgusting. Avoid Sunny!】

【...Am I the only one curious why Sunny would choose her for this commercial? Is there some shady deal? (Genuine question, please don't spray)】

A few seconds later, a Weibo user named "Never Poor, Never Work" posted a lengthy reply to these doubts.

【Everyone, let me tell you, I was a tiny staff member on set that day. Regarding why Song Xi was chosen for this commercial, there are three main reasons】

【1. Her professionalism (I've never seen anyone more dedicated, not trying to praise her mindlessly, if you want to argue, then I'm the boss!)】

【2. Her acting is excellent, truly excellent! Anyone with eyes should be able to tell from the video, she was crying for real the whole time, without a single drop of eye drops! (I swear, if I'm being paid, I'll work for you my whole life! - I'm joking, but seriously!)】

【3. Of course, it's because she's beautiful! Those who say it's not no-makeup, my dear, the makeup the makeup artist applied on her was deliberately made to make her look less attractive, because her completely bare face is flawless from every angle! It wouldn't fit the image of a female lead lacking confidence in her appearance! For those who don't believe me, I've posted sneak photos from that day on my Weibo (do not re-upload!)】

【In conclusion, some people should stop being so bitter. And some say her beauty with no makeup causes body image anxiety? So this is wrong, that's wrong, nothing is right. Then why don't you start your own company and film it yourself? You just keep yapping all day. Oh, and by the way, the above statements are my personal opinions and have nothing to do with our company. If anyone is unhappy and wants to report me, go ahead. My mom just said our demolition compensation has arrived today [smile]】

After reading the long post, Song Xi was a bit surprised and didn't know how to express her gratitude.

She ended up switching to her alt account and replying to the netizens with a simple: 【6666】

Arriving at the Shao residence, Song Xi was still beaming.

Lou Yuming helplessly curved his lips and reminded her, "Alright, be mindful."

Song Xi was very happy today, so when Lou Yuming led her to the Shao residence without a word, she only paused for a moment, "What are we doing here?"

Lou Yuming forcefully took her hand and placed it on his arm, then commanded.

"Smile, nod, speak less."

As soon as he finished speaking, the grand, vintage-looking gate slowly opened.

Shao Cheng had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Song Xi, his mouth twitched.

So, when he said he was bringing someone, he meant her.

Shao Cheng led the two inside.

Song Xi looked around with undisguised curiosity. The last time she was here, she filmed a Hanfu shoot and used a back entrance, so she hadn't seen such a magnificent courtyard.

They walked past a pond. If it were June, there would likely be lotus flowers filling the water.

Truly a wealthy family, so impressive.

Shao Cheng glanced at Song Xi, nudged Lou Yuming with his elbow, and whispered, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Lou Yuming tugged at Song Xi, his eyes warning her not to get carried away.

Then he replied to Shao Cheng, "Naturally, to settle things."

Shao Cheng seemed to have guessed something.

He intended to use Song Xi as a shield to make Anna give up.

But he didn't understand Anna. If he did this, Anna would surely go mad. When she's furious, she's capable of anything, and she might even harm Song Xi.

Just as Shao Cheng was about to warn him, Anna came over, supporting the elderly lady.

Anna had put in a lot of effort today, deliberately wearing a qipao.

When this woman wore a qipao, her temperament completely changed. Her figure and waistline were accentuated, making her curves alluring, gentle, and classical. Combined with the backdrop of the old house, it was incredibly strategic.

Even though it wasn't snowing today, the temperature was cold enough. She had really gone all out.

Anna hadn't expected Lou Yuming to bring Song Xi along, but she quickly regained her composure.

Look at what Song Xi was wearing, all bundled up like a bear, completely lacking any aesthetic appeal!

This man is a visual creature, and she couldn't believe that after dressing up like this, she still wouldn't be able to outshine Song Xi!
