After paying the additional amount of money, Ms. Cen felt the pinch.
1
She was afraid that the money had gone down the drain, so she contacted Qin Wanyan and asked her to make sure she mentioned the Spring Flower Fund on the show, preferably by speaking directly to Xiang Yi.
Ms. Cen had realized that Xiang Yi was now a walking traffic generator!
1
As long as she was used to create a buzz, the Spring Flower Fund would definitely receive more donations!
2
After Qin Wanyan received the news, she got a little anxious.
Her last mention was already obvious enough. Wha if she invites trouble for herself if she were to post another one?
But…
Ms. Cen was introduced to her by Ling Ye, and she was still planning to use her to mingle with the circle of upper-cla.s.s socialites.
For the sake of this valuable connection, Qin Wanyan gritted her teeth and made her mind up to be ruthless. She then tagged along behind Xiang Yi.
Xiang Yi was confused.
Qin Wanyan said with a fake smile, “Xiang Yi, where are you going? I’ll accompany you.”
“The wine cellar.” She noticed that Tian Zhi liked peach wine very much, so she thought of bringing two altars for him and taking them away when she left.
2
All visitors are guests and her grandfather had always taught her since she was a child, to treat her guests with courtesy.
2
Hence, she was also polite to Qin Wanyan.
Little did she know that it gave Qin Wanyan the illusion that Xiang Yi was a pushover and that Xiang Yi wouldn’t hold it against her for what happened previously.
She affectionately went to take Xiang Yi’s arm, but Xiang Yi dodged effortlessly and smoothly.
1
“…” Qin Wanyan pretended to ruffle her hair to hide her embarra.s.sment. She blinked her eyelids, which were covered with delicate eye makeup and asked, “Wow, Xiang Yi, you have a wine cellar at home! I’m so envious. My family has been poor since I was a child and they live in the village. We have a cellar at home too but it’s used for storing sweet potatoes…”
Qin Wanyan’s words had aroused the sympathy of many people.
2
They were both G.o.ddess-like women but their lives were worlds apart.
—— [Ah, Qin Wanyan is quite pitiful too. She started from the bottom and got to where she is now, unlike Xiang Yi who was just born with a golden spoon in her mouth]
—— [Oh, Xiang Yi is just being extravagant and lavis.h.!.+ Other people’s cellars are used to make a living, but hers is used for enjoyment and pleasure! Comparison really drives one mad!!]
—— [You are so rich, what’s wrong with doing some charity? No wonder they say that the richer, the stingier!]
…
The comments were full of scoldings and hateful remarks directed at Xiang Yi, as if it was a huge sin for her to go collect some wine.
Qin Wanyan started influencing others and by the time they reached the cellar, she was already parched.
The small system reminded her several times to not to speak more than she should because she tended to make mistakes when she was too talkative. However, Qin Wanyan would clap back at it again and again.
‘What kind of a lousy system is this? I’m the host, it should be listening to me!’
2
Right from the beginning, Xiang Yi had been rather indifferent towards her. She brought two jars of peach wine over for Tian Zhi and even politely asked Qin Wanyan if she wanted some of the wine she brewed.
Qin Wanyan didn’t like her wine at all as she was afraid that there might be bacteria that would cause her to get food poisoning after drinking it. Her eyes rolled around and her gaze soon landed on the wine shelf not far away.
She pointed to a bottle of red wine, on which there was some writing that she couldn’t understand. “Xiang Yi, can I have this?”
Xiang Yi said, “Sorry, the wine over there belongs to my brother’s collection. I can’t make decisions for them. The wine here are brewed by me, feel free to choose the ones that you want.”
Although the Xiang family siblings were close, they were very principled people. Even for Xiang Yi’s childhood toys, her brothers would never give them to other children without her permission.
Qin Wanyan pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth in shock. “Aren’t you very close to your family? Ah, I’m sorry, I’m being too talkative. It’s okay, Xiang Yi, I don’t want it….”
