27: relatively introverted

Xu Wen hadn't seen her in a long time and didn't originally want to lay a hand on her, but she really couldn't hold back. She lifted her foot and gave her a kick right on her butt.

“Didn't we agree that you'd give me some face? This is on the street, and you're kicking me again.”

“If I remember correctly, I said that would be after you became a big star, right?”

“Huh?”

Lisa and Park Chaeyoung looked at them, and as soon as they stepped out of the gate, they saw Xu Zhiyou clutching her butt with a look of grievance. How come it felt so satisfying!

Thinking back to their first meeting, she had a face-plant on flat ground. That movement, and the way she was clutching her butt now, were equally practiced. Sure enough, evil people need to be ground down by even more evil people!

Lisa poked Park Chaeyoung, whose shoulders were shrugging. If Xu Zhiyou saw this, would she have any good days left once they returned to the Peninsula?

“Chaeyoung, you should control yourself a bit and not laugh out loud. Mind your expression management.”

“You control yourself first, then talk. If you're so capable, turn your head around when you speak.” Park Chaeyoung was quite disgusted; she was shaking more violently than Lisa, yet Lisa was telling her to calm down.

“How about we pretend we didn't see anything and go back inside to sit? I can't hold it in much longer.”

“Lalisa, are you blind? She already saw us. Running away now would only make us look guilty, and it wasn't us who kicked her. Mind your expressions.”

“Turn around, quickly turn your head, she's looking this way.” Lisa forcefully twisted Park Chaeyoung's head to the side.

Xu Zhiyou saw their little antics and really wanted to go up and smack the hell out of them. She wouldn't have minded if they just laughed openly, but they were acting like she constantly bullied them.

“Sis, wait a moment, I'm going to go kill those two idiots.”

She hadn't run far when Xu Wen grabbed her by the scruff of her neck. “Have I ever taught you to treat your friends like this?”

Xu Zhiyou was truly fed up with this double-standard dog. Every action she took demonstrated this philosophy; it was a case of leading by example rather than words, yet she still had the nerve to say that.

“What, do you have an opinion? That look in your eyes makes me very unhappy. Let me test if your combat skills have improved.”

“No, no, no! If you beat me in front of them, I'll lose face.”

“Do you still have such a thing?”

“Uh! Then let's take a day off. Wait for you in the morning, beat me up at noon, and fly back to the Peninsula in the evening. This schedule isn't suitable, you agree, right?”

“That's true. It's not too late to beat you after we see Mom and Dad at home.”

“Ah!!!”

Xu Wen couldn't help but laugh at her expression. She couldn't understand how Xu Zhiyou managed to get a guaranteed admission, with such high intelligence but such idiotic behavior.

Aren't highly intelligent people supposed to be very rational? Her little sister was just a silly, simple-minded blockhead.

This wasn't Xu Zhiyou's fault. In her previous life, she was a complete idiot and a poor student. After twenty years of habit, her personality wouldn't completely change just because she suddenly became smart.

Even if her brain worked well, she still needed to use it to think, and she simply didn't have the habit of using her brain.

Especially now that she had learned a series of combat martial arts, she was completely like someone who would conquer the world with her fists, which created such a huge sense of contrast now.

“Just kidding with you, you fool. Haha~”

Although she was speechless, it was fine as long as her older sister didn't beat her. She then looked at Park Chaeyoung and the other girl with their deadpan expressions.

“You two, if you want to laugh, just laugh. Don't make it seem like I'm some kind of bully.”

The two immediately stopped laughing when they heard her words. Xu Zhiyou's words could only fool others; they certainly wouldn't believe her.

“Let's go. We can still make it for lunch if we go home now. You can take them both out sightseeing this afternoon.”

Xu Wen drove them, and as Lisa and the other girl walked, they felt something was off. Why was it getting more and more remote?

There were even guards standing watch. The two exchanged glances, wondering if they had been tricked into coming here to be shot!

Seeing their strange looks, she knew they had misunderstood. Hadn't she been the same way back then?

“Don't look at me with that kind of gaze. How much are you two even worth?”

“Your family is quite wealthy! Even the bodyguards you hire are so professional.”

Xu Wen just smiled after hearing that. The national conditions were different, so she didn't blame them for misunderstanding, but neither of them explained.

Xu Lisong and Jiang Ling, along with Zhou Mo, usually stayed at home if they didn't have urgent matters. Xu Lisong sat there, troubled, wishing he could go fishing but having no one to cover for him. What kind of life was this?

“Sigh!”

“Isn't it just that you're not allowed to go fishing? Why are you sighing so much?”

“I'm thinking about Zhiyou, what fishing? It's no fun fishing when she's not here.”

“Although staying home all day and fishing with you, this old man, isn't ideal, Xu Wen really is something. There are several entertainment companies nearby, any of which are stronger than YG, yet she insists on going to a foreign country to suffer.”

The two of them had thoroughly investigated YG, so to speak, and they were quite unhappy with Xu Zhiyou being there.

It wasn't that they were afraid she'd be bullied; mainly, they worried she might get involved with bad people and go astray. She was only eighteen and a bit naive. If she had even a little common sense, they wouldn't be bothering with this.

“How about we just bring her back? I'll go right now.” They felt more at ease with their little darling close by.

“Compared to fishing with you at home, I can still accept her current situation. Let her stay a bit longer and see.”

“Uh!!!”

“Don't make that face. Keeping her at home all day fishing with you is worse than letting her go out and experience the world.”

“What's wrong with fishing with me? I can teach her while we fish. Aren't my skills enough for her to learn?”

“You're not even as good as her at fishing, and you have the nerve to say such things.”

Hearing that, Xu Lisong knew he should shut up, otherwise, even more cutting remarks would follow. It was all experience.

Not long after, their car pulled into the courtyard. “Sis, Mom and Dad aren't angry, are they?”

“They were quite angry at first, but they've forgotten now. However, they seem very dissatisfied with your current company, and they might even force you to switch to another one, you never know.”

“As long as they're not angry, it's fine!”

As for changing companies or anything, she had already decided to go solo, so it was the same no matter which company she was with.

Since it was confirmed they weren't angry, why be so secretive? She pushed open the door boldly.

“Ms. Jiang, look, I brought you back two daughters-in-law. Aren't they pretty?”

Seeing her return, they were all quite happy, but she was still her usual mischievous self. “Stop your chatter and quickly invite your two friends to sit down. Don't learn from your sister.”

She truly got shot while lying down. When had she ever taught such improper things? How speechless!

“Mom, these two friends of hers speak English very well. They are her roommates.”

“Hello, I'm Zoe's mother. You are very welcome to visit our home. Don't be nervous, we don't eat people.”

“Mom, this one who looks a bit silly is Park Chaeyoung, from Australia. That cool-looking one is Lisa, from Thailand.”

“How rude! Is that how you introduce people?” Jiang Ling shot her a glance.

Park Chaeyoung and Lisa, meanwhile, were busy being reserved and didn't even pay attention to what Xu Zhiyou was saying.

After chatting for a while, Xu Zhiyou took the two back to her room. Looking at their flushed faces, she felt a little sorry for them.

Not only were they not talking, but they were also blushing. How were they going to be stars in the future? It was dangerous!

“What's wrong with you two? You look like boiled crabs, why are you blushing? My parents are very easygoing.”
