"Jerry, how's it going?" Early the next morning, Xinran opened her eyes and hurriedly jumped out of bed. At this time, Jerry should have already delivered the freshly printed newspapers for her to read.
Jerry pointed to a stack of newspapers on the table, shrugged his shoulders in resignation.
Xinran hesitantly walked over and picked up the top newspaper. The sensational headline read, "B-list Actress Plays Love Games, Sets Sights on Superstar Augus," making her blush and her heart race as the subject of the article.
The next newspaper stated, "Cadillac Disguised Meeting, Unknown Actress Entangles Superstar Augus."
Then came Gossip Weekly: "The Most Shocking One-Night Stand in History: Augus Infatuated with B-list Actress."
Xinran continued to read through each one until the table was empty. She flipped through the newspapers and magazines again, puzzled, and asked, "Where's Nandi's news? Why isn't there any?"
"The editor said that the information he reported lacked any buzz and wouldn't attract readers, so it was suppressed..."
Listening to Jerry's response, Xinran nodded as if she understood, realizing that every positive rumor about her from Nandi seemed to be buried!
"So, Fan Jierui, tell me, does my face look like someone who just goes around having one-night stands? I only asked for directions to the restroom! Do those paparazzi really need such vivid imaginations? Which of them saw me checking into a hotel? Why is it always like this..."
In a fit of frustration, she crumpled the newspapers into balls and jumped onto the sofa, stomping on it as if it were a trampoline. After venting for a while, she finally sat down with a pout and said, "I should have gotten used to this by now. If those tabloids didn't have such outrageous headlines, no one would be interested, and I... wouldn't have anything to eat!"
Jerry looked at Xinran with an expression of helplessness and glanced at the sofa that she had used as an outlet for her frustration. This woman always presented a mature facade to the outside world but remained forever innocent and childlike inside...
"Are you going home for dinner tonight?" Jerry asked as he began cleaning up the mess Xinran had made.
"Yes, Dad's birthday is coming up soon. I hope I can go to the party that day. I don't want him to be sad, so I need to go back tonight to see how my sisters are planning for Dad's party and if I can help!" Xinran said with a helpless smile.
"Just remember to be careful. Your two sisters and that aunt are like reincarnated demons. I really don't feel comfortable letting you go back... Every time you come home, it feels like you're going into battle, and you always come back covered in scars..." Jerry raised his head and said somewhat naggingly.
"Alright, alright, you know my situation. Besides, how could I let my sisters bully me? Even if I get hurt every time, they will definitely have it worse than me..."
In fact, Summer was not a poor orphan raised in an orphanage; she had both a father and a mother. It's just that her dad was her biological father, but her mom was not her biological mother.
Her biological mother was a weak woman who suffered all her life because of love and eventually died in despair. The man who caused her mother's suffering was her father, Xia Mingda, the former president of Xia Sheng Group and the current chairman. He already had a wife but still loved Summer's mother deeply; they even considered abandoning everything and eloping.
Xinran learned at the age of seven that she was an illegitimate child when her two half-sisters, Xia Wenyiyi and Xia Wenjing, "told" her. They pushed her by the poolside of their large villa, calling her an illegitimate child and a jinx, saying her mother stole someone else's husband and she stole someone else's dad. Then ten-year-old Xia Wenyiyi lifted her foot and tripped her into the pool, which is why she still fears swimming pools to this day.
At that time, her mother had passed away, and her father was busy with work. She could only live in that villa belonging to her father while enduring bullying. The woman she called aunt hated her mother deeply; after all, it was her mother who disrupted their originally peaceful life. The two girls she called sisters took pleasure in bullying her daily. Her homework, school uniform, and lunch were often tampered with, but she managed to endure it all... even giving them "payback." It wasn't just she who had homework, uniforms, and lunch; they did too, didn't they?
Once she became independent, Xinran didn't stay there for another day and moved out of that terrible hell. If it weren't for having a loving dad, she would never have gone back again...
