Chapter 407: Unspoken Rules of the First Encounter
Yun Xiangxiang propped her chin with one hand and seemed to be thinking, “Could it be that the Shi family wanted someone to marry you, so when the ladies saw the photo they fell in love with you at first sight?”
It was no wonder that Yun Xiangxiang thought this way. She found out that Song Mian was the number one bachelor in China’s top-ranking rich and powerful families after going to the Tangs’ house and chatting with Tang Suran.
Not to mention it was not only girls who wanted to marry him. Even heads of families were very optimistic about him. It was unknown how many people wanted to take advantage of him, let alone those that wished to marry him without even seeing him before.
If someone with an identity like Shi Youxuan managed to marry Song Mian, that would be an instant success. Even the Shi family would have to be polite to her.
“I’m glad that you recognize my charm, girlfriend.” Song Mian replied resignedly, “But I will not take this blame.”
Exchange students usually only stay for a semester or a year at most. If Shi Youxuan used this opportunity to return to China to approach him, she would not approach Yun Xiangxiang. She expected that it would be difficult to be well acquainted with Yun Xiangxiang.
Yun Xiangxiang’s several roommates have known her for so long but had not been brought to see Song Mian before.
“It caught her attention when you went to school the last time, and she thought you would go again!” Yun Xiangxiang took the chance to dig up the past.
“Then, her brain is too stupid.” Song Mian defined.
How long would it take for her to wait and see?
“Okay, if it wasn’t because of you…” Yun Xiangxiang looked at Shi Youxuan’s information, unable to figure out why Shi Youxuan wanted to approach her.
Although there was no sign of the purpose she wanted to approach Yun Xiangxiang, Yun Xiangxiang still felt certain that there must be one.
“Let’s talk about the purpose of her becoming an exchange student first.” Song Mian analyzed along with Yun Xiangxiang. “I feel that it must be targeted to the Shi Family.”
The Shi family stipulated that both Shi Youxuan and her mother were to stay abroad. Old Man Shi still had a fond connection with Shi Youxuan. Her using this chance was a brilliant decision.
“What you mean to say is that she wishes to use me to add to her importance?” Yun Xiangxiang got it right away.
Shi Youxuan certainly did not have any foundation in China, nor could she get in contact with the people who have connections with the Shi family under their noses.
Otherwise, her intentions could be seen through at a glance. But the Shi family would not accept her if she was not of enough importance. She would be an illegitimate daughter for the rest of her life.
If she wanted to be accepted back into the Shi family with pride, she must have a reason good enough for them to accept her.
It was impossible to be good enough. There was no shortage of excellent children in a famous family like the Shi family.
At this time, she could only turn to outsiders for help. She probably knew about the relationship between Yun Xiangxiang and Song Mian, so she tried to befriend Yun Xiangxiang to show that she had a connection with the Song family.
Just seeing Song Mian’s WeChat that had not been updated or replaced shows Yun Xiangxiang’s place in his heart.
“How did she determine my importance to you?” Yun Xiangxiang was curious.
Suppose she was not certain of the relationship between Yun Xiangxiang and Song Mian, and she was very optimistic about marrying into the Song family. In that case, Shi Youxuan need not waste time on Yun Xiangxiang.
“Maybe she had someone else directing her.” Song Mian also thought about it. “Maybe she’s seen my photo and found a clue during the incident at school the last time. Or maybe she is just trying her luck.”
Yun Xiangxiang nodded, thinking that there were only a few possibilities, “Don’t worry, I will stay away from her in the future.”
Although Shi Youxuan did not have the intention to harm her, Yun Xiangxiang did not like people who approached her with purpose.
Moreover, she did not want to involve the Song family with the Shi family because of herself. Song Mian had just given her the full analysis of the Shi family.
It was a mess. She had already seen the damage that rich and powerful families could do during her interaction with the Tang family. The chaos of the Shi family was far beyond the Tang family because several masters of the Shi family had mistresses and illegitimate children.
In comparison, Yun Xiangxiang felt that it was difficult to be the Song family’s direct descendants. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise.
“We should have fewer kids in the future.” Yun Xiangxiang blurted out.
She realized what she said after the words had left her mouth. She raised her eyes and was met with Song Mian’s darkened eyes.
“You.. Don’t mess around. I’ve made an appointment to shoot the commercial today!” Yun Xiangxiang ran away like a rabbit.
Song Mian didn’t intend to torture himself and didn’t catch up to her, “You can have as many as you want.”
She looked at Song Mian from top to bottom for a while. Yun Xiangxiang let out a breath when she realized he did not have impure thoughts, “I’m going to prepare first. Brother Wei will be here to pick me up later.”
Looking at how Yun Xiangxiang slipped away just now, Son Mian could not help but wonder if he went too far and scared her just now?
Yun Xiangxiang did not know Song Mian’s thoughts. She went downstairs to change her clothes, and He Wei came to pick her up.
When they reached the agreed location, the commercial had a beautiful setup.
There was a huge square-shaped marble bathtub filled with milk with rose petals floating around. Yun Xiangxiang wore a tube top and a knee-length skirt and soaked into the tub first. Then she took the advertised shower gel and poured it into her hand.
She lathered the shower gel on her, creating the feeling of taking a bath. Then she cleaned herself and shot the second part.
In the second part, she looked like she just got out of the bathtub. The shot was taken just below the knees, where she walked up to the bath step by step with her porcelain white skin sprinkled with water. A bathrobe slid to the floor.
She slowly lifted one leg and used her round toes to pick up the bathrobe. She moved very slowly. The snow-white silk contrasted her delicate legs. The leg that picked up the bathrobe lifted slowly, creating an indirect temptation.
Finally, in the third shot, Yun Xiangxiang put on the white silk robe and raised her hand in a direction. They would most likely edit the shower gel during the post-production.
She was filled with a youthful and sweet smile and read her ad slogan: If you want to be as smooth as silk, you have to choose it.
This was the first version. Yun Xiangxiang almost managed to finish the shots in one go. There were no accidents during the shooting. The company took the film back for discussion after the shooting.
If they decided that this was the effect they were going for, then they would arrange an appointment with Yun Xiangxiang to shoot the final advertisement.
He Wei accompanied her through the entire process. After she changed back into her clothes, the company executives in charge of the project came. They were not the same people as previously.
It was the vice president that came this time. He was in his thirties and looked like a gentleman, but Yun Xiangxiang did not like how he looked at her. It was a little frivolous.
“I wonder if I can invite Miss Yun to have dinner together?” The other party asked conceitedly while flashing a friendly smile.
Yun Xiangxiang was an actor. Moreover, she had experienced a lot in her previous lifetime. She understood what this person was thinking just by looking at him.
“I’m sorry, I do not have the habit of dining with the project leader. This causes unnecessary misunderstandings.” She rejected it straightforwardly.
If this person felt that she failed to appreciate his favor, he could terminate the contract. She didn’t care. It was naive to think that he could use this method to manipulate her.
