Chapter 335: Too Fake
“Xixi, are you still angry with Mommy?” Li Jingran pretended to be sad and lowered her eyes slightly. Her eyes even turned red as she held Shen Xi’s hand. “I know that it’s our fault that you suffered. Mommy’s not asking you to go home. I just wanted to see you.”
Li Jingran was an actress and a Film Empress. Acting in front of an adolescent girl was so simple like it was her second nature.
She was doing as she was told by Su Yi. Li Jingran had already thought of what to say and how to act when she was to meet Shen Xi. One night was enough for her to get into the act.
Shen Xi looked at her mockingly and laughed. “It’s just the two of us now, so who are you acting for, Film Empress Li?”
Li Jingran looked at her with a sad face. “Xixi, you can hate or don’t forgive Mommy, but how can you look at Mommy like this? You’re my precious baby that I carried for ten months in my womb. You’re a part of me!”
“Film Empress Li, do you know why you only won awards in China and why none of your movies has gotten any international recognition?” Shen Xi asked her.
Li Jingran was hurt by her words and looked at her with grief. “I know that no matter what I do, you’d think that I’m acting. Do you want Mommy to take out my heart and show you?”
“Do it then,” Shen Xi said.
Li Jingran almost vomited blood. She lowered her head and had tears in her eyes. Her voice was hoarse and seemingly filled with remorse. “Mommy knows that you don’t want to see me.”
Shen Xi smiled cruelly. “You said you wanted to take your heart out for me to see. Take it out then!”
Li Jingran’s heart surged with anger, but she reminded herself that she was here to please this brat, not to make things worse. Thus, she only murmured sadly, “You still hate Mommy so much.”
Shen Xi sneered.
“I know that we’ve had a misunderstanding,” Li Jingran sighed deeply and looked broken-hearted. She pulled out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Shen Xi. “Mommy came here to give you your living expenses. Here’s 100,000 yuan for you to spend. The password is six zeros.”
Shen Xi looked at the card in her hand with cold eyes and little interest.
Li Jingran saw that Shen Xi did not reject her and thought, ‘What a gold-digging brat!’
She then turned to fetch a nicely wrapped gift box from the table. “This is the latest makeup set from the Situ family. Mommy only got one set, but you can have it first.”
Shen Xi held the bank card in her left hand and the makeup set in her right. She walked to the door and stopped in her tracks, then turned back and said, “Oh, right.”
Li Jingran looked surprised when she heard Shen Xi speak. She called out to her with excitement and warmth in her voice. “Xixi…”
“Your acting is too fake and pretentious.” Shen Xi shook her head regretfully, then continued in a serious tone. “If you performed as seriously as when you act in front of me, you would’ve made it international.”
Li Jingran was panting and almost fainted from anger. Her hands hanging at her side clenched uncontrollably.
‘This damned brat! Is she looking down on me?! She’s so condescending and even dared to lecture me?! Who the hell is she to talk to me like that!’
After Shen Xi said that, she smiled innocently at Li Jingran, then turned to leave.
A boy and a girl student walked over.
Shen Xi stopped them. She looked at the boy and asked with a smile, “Film Empress Li is treating the whole school to milk tea. Could you please help us get it?”
Shen Xi was no stranger to the boys because she was popular in school. Shen Xi from the International Class was also Jiang Yin’s apprentice, the great designer Cai Ni. The boy was shaken by her beautiful smile and could not respond instantly. He then nodded excitedly and replied, “Y-yes, Goddess. I promise to complete the task!”
“Thanks, the password is six zeros,” Shen Xi politely handed him her bank card.
The boy was so happy that he was about to faint. His goddess spoke to him and asked him for help. He quickly said, “My pleasure!”
Shen Xi smiled and thanked him.
The boy could not look at her for fear of fainting from excitement. He took the bank card and went to complete the task his goddess had asked of him.
Shen Xi looked at the girl and gave her the gift box. “This is a gift from Film Empress Li. It’s the new makeup set from the Situ family.”
Li Jingran was standing in the office doorway and watched as Shen Xi gave her bank card and makeup set that she had not even tried to someone else. Her face was instantly glum.
The boy and the girl saw Li Jingran and ran to her excitedly to thank her for the milk tea and the gift box.
Shen Xi could not be bothered to look back and left looking noble and cool.
Li Jingran held the door frame to stabilize herself. Her blood was boiling and she felt that she would not be able to control her emotions and explode at any second.
The first day of school was very lively.
After the Top Class students reported their names, they just chatted idly.
The girls in that class were all from wealthy families and loved to spend time chatting on beauty and skincare products. They were talking about the new makeup set launched by the Situ family.
Following the launch of their first beauty product, the anti-aging beauty pill “Jewel Look”, this was the Situ family’s first makeup series, the “Snow Lotus Essence” makeup set.
This high-end cosmetics set included three products: moisturizer, toner, and serum. It was priced at 19,999 yuan and had not been officially launched. Just like “Jewel Look”, this cosmetics set was distributed as free trials.
For this round, the original trial set was limited to 88 sets and they were sent to the elite circle and the A-listers in showbiz.
Unfortunately, the students in the Top Class did not receive the trial set. Only one girl’s aunt received it, which was just distributed yesterday.
Chen Bingbing looked at Su Ruowan and asked her, “Wanwan, did Aunt Li receive the Situ family’s new makeup set?”
The last time when the Situ family gave away “Jewel Look” for free, the Su family did not receive it probably because the Su family had offended the Situ family.
Otherwise, the Su family would have gotten it because they were part of the elites in the Capital, and Aunt Li was a Film Empress.
No one knew if Li Jingran received it this time. All the big names had received it, and many of them already shared their pictures on social media.
Su Ruowan was reading a book. Hearing that, she smiled gently and said, “I don’t know. My mom came back late last night and I was sleeping.”
Just as she said this, a boy in their class shouted at the door. “Goddess Wanwan! Your mother came to school and treated the whole school to milk tea. She even gave a girl in Third Class a set of the Situ family’s new cosmetics set.”
