Chapter 468: Unabashed Tears
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Grandpa, can I come over to your place to record a variety program?”
“Sure!” Old Master Li agreed immediately. “But what should I prepare? Do I have to appear on screen? Do I need any special training?”
s.h.i.+ Jin could tell that he was nervous. “Grandpa, you don’t have to. You can do whatever you want when the time comes. You don’t have to make any special preparations.”
“When are you coming over? I’ll pick you up?” Old Master Li could not wait any longer.
“Next week at the earliest.”
s.h.i.+ Jin looked at the time. The new year was indeed coming soon. It would be good to go back and accompany Grandpa.
She switched back to Shen Xinghe’s message. “Sis, why isn’t the robot using your voice anymore?”
“I gave it to you. Of course I changed it to your voice. However, you don’t have many public videos, so its language structure might not be perfect.”
For the first time, Shen Xinghe shed tears for his lack of popularity.

Orchid Pavilion.
Fu Xiuyuan was reading financial news on the sofa in the living room.
A clear and beautiful voice sounded. “I’m back.”
He lifted his eyes and looked towards the door, but he did not see the person he longed for. Instead, he saw a small robot talking as it walked towards him.
The little robot held a rose in its hand and handed it to him. “Mr. Fu, this is for you. Do you like it?”
Fu Xiuyuan reached out to take it. The robot’s movements were very mechanical, and its voice was mechanical. He still looked into its eyes seriously. “I like it very much.”
“Do you like me or the flowers?”
“I like the flowers.” Fu Xiuyuan pursed his thin lips slightly. “But I like you even more.”
s.h.i.+ Jin’s laughter could be heard. Her aloof Mr. Fu was becoming more and more good at flirting.
Fu Xiuyuan asked in a low voice, “When are you coming home?”
The sound of footsteps came from behind him. When he turned around subconsciously, the girl had already pounced on him and entered his embrace.
The coldness she put up in front of everyone else was gone. Now, she was just a kitten in his arms.
Fu Xiuyuan smiled.

After s.h.i.+ Jin returned, she arranged to meet Fu Heyan the next day.
In a high-cla.s.s private clubhouse, Fu Heyan had arrived early.
She seemed to be in a good mood. Her face was full of smiles as she walked with big strides. She was wearing a beige coat and wide-legged pants of the same color. When she saw s.h.i.+ Jin, she stood up and said with a smile, “You’re here. Quick, take a seat.”
s.h.i.+ Jin took off her jacket and put it down. She took out the medicine that she had prepared and pushed it to her. “Sis, try this.”
“Okay. Since it’s from you, it must be useful.”
“You have to be confident.” s.h.i.+ Jin smiled. “It’s not my medicine, it’s your own body.”
Fu Heyan smiled, but there was a hint of loneliness in her smile. “Si Nian and I had originally planned to let the matter go, or we could adopt in the future. We don’t have to give birth on our own, but every year, we have some hope. Even though it’s very slim, we still want to try it ourselves.”
“Don’t be discouraged.”
“I’m not discouraged. As long as there’s a trace of hope, I will try my best.” Fu Heyan took the medicine and smiled. “Don’t worry, I will drink it when I get back. I will not give up.”
The two of them bade each other farewell.
Fu Heyan returned to the car, thinking as she held the medicine in her hand.
She knew that s.h.i.+ Jin was very capable and that she should believe her. However, she was afraid that she would be disappointed if she held too much hope.
The abilities that s.h.i.+ Jin had displayed previously were all on external injuries. As for pregnancy… No matter what, she had to try seriously.

The new episode of the variety show had not begun recording, so s.h.i.+ Jin went to the filming set of “Love of a Lifetime” first.
“Sis!” s.h.i.+ Jin had just arrived when she heard a warm greeting.
She looked up and saw Shen Xinghe’s familiar figure.
“Why are you here?”
“I have a role.” He carried his luggage. “Do you know how many fans that little robot helped me gain last time? 80,000, a total of 80,000! Then there’s a role with three lines in this film. The actor they found previously couldn’t make it, so I came.”
s.h.i.+ Jin glanced at him. “Have you memorized your lines?”
“I’m already familiar with it and can recite it by heart! Actually, it’s not my turn to film today, but I wanted to observe first since there’s nothing much to do anyway.”
s.h.i.+ Jin had seen young people with dreams before. When there was no chance, they would work hard and wait. They would improve first and then obtain a suitable opportunity.
Shen Xinghe was that type of person. Sooner or later he would be able to soar into the sky.
“Then work hard so that when I write code in the future, that little robot can also have more material to learn from.”
“I will definitely become famous!” Shen Xinghe raised his fist. “I will try my best to let the robot have a full vocabulary!”
With her back facing him, s.h.i.+ Jin smiled.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s a.s.sistant shook her head. “It would be a miracle if he could become famous.”
s.h.i.+ Xuexin looked at her a.s.sistant unhappily.
The a.s.sistant immediately shut up. She knew that she had said the wrong thing. Initially, under Wen w.a.n.g’s lead, s.h.i.+ Xuexin had the highest chance of becoming popular during the live broadcast of ‘Come to My Home’. Who would have thought that Shen Xinghe would emerge as the dark horse?
s.h.i.+ Jin was also doing well. Only s.h.i.+ Xuexin did not have any trending topics.
It was really hard to know who could be popular with the audience.
After s.h.i.+ Jin finished filming, she received photos from Old Master Li.
There were several images in a row.
She clicked on it and smiled.
In her previous life, she had actually gone back when she was down and out, but at that time, her grandfather had already pa.s.sed away from worry.
Now that she saw the clean little villa and how peaceful it was, she was overjoyed.
This was great.
“Grandpa, the town is getting prettier.”
“It’s been developing well these few years. More and more young people are coming back. When you come back, I’ll bring you around to take a good look.”
“Okay. The sweet potatoes that grandpa left for me last time were really delicious. I want to get more this time.”
“Well, is one truck enough?”
s.h.i.+ Jin laughed. “That would be enough to feed a pig.”
“Haha, when are you coming back? I’ll raise you myself.”
s.h.i.+ Jin looked up at Yao Jiahong. “Brother Yao, when are we going back for the filming?”
“I’m currently confirming the schedule. I’ll let you know soon.” Yao Jiahong should have confirmed it last night, but it was still being rea.s.sessed now because the schedule had changed at the last minute.
“Why?” s.h.i.+ Jin asked.
“s.h.i.+ Xuexin changed her schedule to the front.”
Initially, ‘Come to My Home’ had intended for s.h.i.+ Jin to appear in the second episode to attract as many fans and viewers as possible. However, s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s first episode didn’t give her the popularity she wanted. She could not wait for the second episode and wanted to go to her own house. Hence, they changed the timing at the last minute.

The production team didn’t dare to offend Boss Xiang, so they were trying to persuade Yao Jiahong.
