Everyone's faces were lit up with brilliant smiles.
Qin Xiuzhi, seated closest to Xu Zhilan, felt very satisfied as he observed the advertisement's effect and the sales figures just reported.
His gaze drifted towards Yin Xi. He suddenly felt that she and his son sat together with perfect compatibility, like a perfectly matched couple.
If one added the three little cuties beside them, it made for a picturesque and envied scene.
Although Jiang Jie and Meng Qi also had smiles on their faces, they were clearly forced smiles.
Qin Xiuyu and Mei Yun, having already seen these advertisements, were laughing the most heartily.
Mei Yun, in particular, praised Yin Xi with all her might.
"Auntie, Xi Xi is of course beautiful. In terms of appearance, figure, or demeanor, she's second to none.
I remember when she was studying in country B, the boys pursuing her lined up, and some even came to our house."
Upon hearing this, everyone else looked at Yin Xi in surprise.
Yin Xi's face flushed, and she quickly said, "Auntie, why are you mentioning this?"
"What's wrong? It's the truth. I mainly want to express that you've always been outstanding, and many men admire you."
Mei Yun glanced at Qin Siye, who had a stern expression beside her, and continued with a smile,
"Of course, those men are far inferior to Si Ye. You ignore them because your heart is already taken."
The last two sentences were spoken so aptly and brilliantly that everyone's faces regained their original smiles.
Xu Zhilan said, "Naturally. Five years ago, Si Ye and Xi Xi were already boyfriend and girlfriend. It's just that they didn't know yet, the two of them had once experienced..."
With the children present, Xu Zhilan found it inconvenient to utter those three words. She then said with a grim expression,
"If it weren't for that bitch Lu Yushan interfering, how would their family have been separated?
If I ever see that woman again, I truly wish to tear her into a thousand pieces."
Bai Lin, seated on the sofa, couldn't help but shudder, and the pastry in her hand dropped to the floor.
Meng Qi, however, was listening with confusion. She knew very little about that woman, Lu Yushan.
A few years ago, she had heard this name abroad. She only knew that she was Qin Siye's fiancée, but their engagement was later broken off.
However, she didn't know what grievances she had with Yin Xi.
Seeing Xu Zhilan getting a little upset, Mei Yun quickly changed the subject, "Auntie, I have something to tell you.
In fact, Xi Xi was also scouted in country B. If she hadn't repeatedly refused, she might be an international superstar right now."
"Really?" Xu Zhilan's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at Yin Xi, "Our Xi Xi is so beautiful and outstanding, I see she has such potential.
However, the entertainment industry is a big dye vat, and I think Yin Xi's refusal was the right choice.
Devoting herself to the pharmaceutical industry, promoting traditional Chinese medicine, and producing drugs that benefit humanity – this is far more valuable and meaningful than being a big star.
Her social standing is also much higher than theirs."
Upon hearing this, Meng Qi became a little unhappy. She felt that these words subtly belittled her profession.
"Grandma Xu, not all celebrities associate with the wicked; some maintain their integrity.
Furthermore, our filming enriches the spiritual lives of the public and brings them joy.
Taking advertisements also utilizes the influence of celebrities to help businesses promote their products and increase their sales. How can that be without meaning or value?"
Although she tried to make her tone more tactful, everyone could clearly tell that she was opposing Xu Zhilan's viewpoint.
"Qi Qi, you might have misunderstood. I didn't say that being a star has no meaning or value at all," Xu Zhilan said with a somber expression.
"Those words just now weren't directed at you, so please don't take them to heart or hold any grudges against Grandma Xu.
Everyone has their own aspirations, and the path one chooses is up to them.
If you feel it's meaningful, then it is. However, on this point, I stand more with Xi Xi."
