Free Web NovelChapter 1872: Chapter 1859: Farewell to the Old (6)
He actually had something more to say, especially this time Bo Yi behaved well initially, but ultimately betrayed halfway. Particularly, these two don’t even want children, although having a child doesn’t prevent a divorce, it’s still somewhat of a buffer bridge, isn’t it?
However, Bo Yan’s words were indeed correct, Xia Siyu is actually even stronger than her sister Xia Sicai. Xia Sicai seemed outstanding, she received strict education since childhood, excelled academically, went to the University of New South Wales due to a scholarship. After returning home, she held a position in the company, and her work was quite good. Her schooling and work were all planned by herself in advance; emotionally, though she once failed in pursuing Bo Yan, she quickly settled for marrying Bo Yi and even had a child. Everything went too smoothly, so when she faced setbacks, although she wasn’t utterly defeated, she was significantly affected.
Unlike Xia Siyu, this guy was mischievous since young, and when she grew up entering the entertainment industry, even when criticized and sprayed, she remained unfazed. He had always secretly observed his daughter’s actions, seeing how those trolls criticized Xia Siyu behind her back, and several times he almost needed oxygen, but Xia Siyu was indifferent.
This guy is far stronger than he thought, stronger than her sister, stronger than him, and even stronger than her mom. Now that she has won awards, although the major narrative praises her, there are always cynics behind saying if it weren’t for her face, she wouldn’t win those awards.
Indeed, Xia Siyu’s debut was truly reliant on her face. Over the years, the film industry has nearly become a closed loop. Many people begin building momentum from their first day at film school, some are child stars, some internet celebrities creating buzz, some are hype; but regardless, without backing capital, it’s hard to break out. Shang Feifei managed to carve her path through her capability, but she’s also a proper graduate from a film academy.
Only Xia Siyu remained, she should be the last legend discovered by a Star Scout on the road. With no background, it was just her face that opened the door to the entertainment world. In her early movies, there was no packaging, even the makeup was light, she relied purely on face value until she became famous worldwide.
But later, to win awards and to portray those roles, the face alone couldn’t suffice, it was her own effort. Not to mention, this guy even covers her face with the book "Aesthetics" while sleeping. She’s inherently smart; initially, her wild nature was hard to tame, unwilling to invest effort here. But now, she has won awards, reached her current level, that face is rather trivial, it’s her effort and her strong inner self that sustain her motivation.
With such an inner core, not just acting, whether in business, serving, entering a company, there’s nothing she can’t succeed in, plus she’s smart and hard-working. Bo Yan was right, even if they face changes in the future, she might regret or feel sad, but she’s absolutely better at adjusting her emotions than others, she can emerge from hardship earlier than others.
He once felt very ashamed, thinking his daughter was nonchalant because he hadn’t protected her well. But now seeing her perform so well, indeed there’s a saying, flowers nurtured in a greenhouse hardly withstand storms. But she’s different, since childhood she’s faced harsh winds and frosty sword, what storms, that’s just a splash of water?
"Good, good, good." He said "good" three times, then walked to the door, turned back and looked at Xia Siyu again. Actually, he still had one more thing unsaid, apart from settling scores with Bosch this time, most of the money he earned, according to his will, will still mostly go to Xia Siyu and Bo Yan as a couple. It’s like taking from the people, giving back to the people. freewēbnoveℓ.com
But seeing their current situation, he felt there’s no need to say anything, once everything is done, he’ll announce it after passing.
"Dad, take care." After Xia Youbiao left, Xia Siyu, lying on Bo Yan’s lap, adjusted her posture and mumbled: "Bo Yan, I want to eat sugar-coated hawthorn."
Bo Yan smiled: "Alright, I’ll make it for you." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Just recently Xia Siyu’s stomach wasn’t well, buying hawthorn outside was too high in additives, so Bo Yan bought some hawthorn to prepare and make it for her during the New Year. Xia Siyu was silent for a long time before saying: "When I was little and didn’t behave, dad would buy me sugar-coated hawthorn to eat."
When she was little, living in Sicily, finding a place to buy sugar-coated hawthorn wasn’t easy. Although most sugar-coated hawthorn she had as a child wasn’t made from hawthorn, mostly strawberries, yet it’s considered a fond memory.
Bo Yan nodded; just now, while speaking with Xia Youbiao, although Xia Siyu interjected several times, it was merely to lighten the atmosphere. She was indeed worried about them arguing over business.
After all, the closest ones to her are only these two people.
**
After Little New Year, there are a few days left. During this time, Xia Siyu and Bo Yan didn’t return to the crew, both had their tasks. They both rushed to handle business before New Year, business shooting for some, program attending for others. Especially Bo Yan, once while attending a program, he encountered a guest, Li Yiru.
She appeared in good spirits at the time, after winning Best Supporting Actress in "Sunrise", several film companies have approached her. She’s now gradually focusing on her acting, she’s still young and has the ambition to pursue her career. Now, she’s directly in competition with Zhou Weiwei——both are second-tier actresses, with direct competitive relations.
However, Li Yiru seemed to be doing well, because Zhou Weiwei is in Huixing, although having Huixing as a backup, she’s more restricted when it comes to choosing roles, with Huixing’s constraints. Li Yiru, on the other hand, is different, being independent means no strings, able to conveniently accept any roles.
After recording the program, in the resting room hallway, Li Yiru walked by and said: "I probably won’t be providing you any more information in the future."
Bo Yan understood, indicating she and Bo Qiliu should be done. This person, sensing the situation wasn’t right, quickly backed out. Outsiders don’t know she secretly has an illegitimate child, Bo Family doesn’t know about her, Bo Qiliu doesn’t know she’s been two-faced for long.
But it doesn’t matter, their collaboration has been fulfilled, the drama Bo Yan promised Li Yiru is about to begin shooting soon. He specifically instructed the scriptwriter to tailor it carefully to Li Yiru’s image, trying to present her well. It’s partly to repay her, partly to build her up, to compete with Zhou Weiwei.
Even though Xia Siyu is too lazy to fuss over Zhou Weiwei, Bo Yan doesn’t want to let her go. So more people are supported to contend with her. The murkier the waters, the more interesting it becomes.
