……

Xia Xiao, dressed in brand-new Setchu mourning clothes, announced that she was severing ties with her parents. The video suddenly went viral that evening.

It has gone viral.

The reason is that Paris World issued a clarification, saying that the clothes worn by the female celebrity were not designed by them, and that people should not spread rumors. Although our design style is quite bold and innovative, this is really not our design. (Even if we were to copy, we would not copy something you are familiar with—this is a comment, not what they said).

Then, Japanese brand Setchu designer Satoshi Kuwata jumped in to respond, saying that this wasn't plagiarism of their funeral; the inspiration came from the "Miyatō-shō" (Lantern Festival) folk custom passed down in Mie Prefecture, symbolizing sacredness and solemnity. Tell me, doesn't that actress look very solemn when she wears it?

Next, actress XX was publicly criticized by a well-known professor.

This professor is quite authoritative, not just an "expert." His resume and achievements are verifiable, and he has a very high social and academic standing.

You could tell he was very angry; he basically called out names specifically.

"After seeing a video of a certain celebrity, I would like to say a few words from a cultural perspective. First, etiquette is the core of traditional Chinese culture. Mourning clothes are the first of the 'five mourning grades,' carrying the ethics of grief. It is not about showing off your personality. What you wear determines who you are in traditional culture—wearing mourning clothes means facing the public as a bereaved family member."

Secondly, you were wearing mourning clothes from a Japanese brand. As a public figure, wearing foreign mourning clothes while making a declaration of severing ties with family in front of the camera creates a cultural incongruity and mockery, which is a disrespect for etiquette.

Whether or not you sever ties is your family matter, and I won't comment on that. But using mourning clothes as a prop, treating severing ties as a performance, and expecting fans to applaud your "decisiveness"—this kind of traffic-seeking is too ugly.

Public figures should be careful with their words and actions, and should also be cultured.

The previous Weibo post was about cultural workers needing to be cultured.

When placed side by side, the contrast is striking.

Indeed, Xia Xiao has a lot of fans who support her. Her fans are young and have many die-hard fans.

Xia Xiaoxuan believed that hard work and ambition would lead to good results, and that flowers would bloom and fragrance would come naturally.

As long as you strive to be kind, a billionaire CEO will definitely love you.

Like her mother, she promotes the idea that true love is invincible, but she doesn't teach her fans any specific methods.

Some fans have indeed experienced terrible family situations, and seeing Xia Xiao bravely "speak out" like this really moved them to tears. They admire her courage.

Even some of Xia Xiao's "friends in the industry" helped to share the video.

After the professor called out this Weibo post, he quietly deleted the repost.

Those "friends in the industry" knew that President Ouyang had actually gifted Xia Xiao a building—a luxury mansion in Binjiang Shanghai, incredibly expensive.

The CEO is truly generous and genuinely loves Xia Xiao; I'm definitely envious of that. (Assistant Wang: Actually, I leaked this information secretly. The CEO wants to be recognized for his good deeds.)

However, even her "friends in the industry" didn't expect that when Xia Xiao's parents' scandal broke, her first reaction wasn't to clarify, but to sever ties with them. Wow!

Xia Xiao's fans praised my idol for being brave, upright, and having very positive values.

There was also a group of fans who felt something was off, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

After being publicly criticized by the professor.

Someone posted Xia Xiao's acceptance speech when she won the Newcomer of the Year award: My father is a university professor, and he taught me from a young age, "Don't rush, take it slow." My mother is a teacher, and she taught me, "Persist in doing the right thing." I have been trying to do these two things, although sometimes... I may not be very successful.

In her book "Travel 4", she talks about her experience of studying abroad and traveling all over the world (at least her parents provided financial support).

Then compare what she said in this video; it's contradictory.

Moreover, one of Professor Xia's students spoke up, saying that putting aside Professor Xia's character, he is a very easy-going person. He tries his best to answer students' questions in class, even if they are irrelevant, and he doesn't get angry but answers them seriously. He is also very good to his students. My circumstances are average, and once Professor Xia probably noticed my predicament, so he treated a few of us students to dinner after school. He also gives the most stipends to graduate students in the school. I can only say that human nature is very complicated. As a teacher, he is really good to his students. I don't understand why he would ignore his own son.

Anyway, let's not discuss right or wrong regarding Xia Xiao's decision to sever ties with her family.

She was severely criticized for her haphazard clothing choices.

After the renowned professor publicly criticized her, a bunch of people jumped out to join in the condemnation.

Some people here are genuinely heartbroken and indignant about the defilement of traditional culture, while others are just trying to gain attention; you can find this kind of person anywhere.

As for Xia Xiao's parents, they couldn't take care of her at the moment. Fortunately, Professor Xia had been pampered since childhood. When his mother received the news, she was worried that her son couldn't handle it, so she came to check on him. When she found something was wrong, she quickly found someone to send her son and daughter-in-law to the hospital.

After Xia Xiao posted the video of severing ties with her family, her fans initially supported her, hugged her, and shared their own bizarre family stories. She felt that everyone was supporting her. However, after Professor Ren posted on Weibo that afternoon, her reputation reversed, and countless people suddenly flocked to criticize her.

Xia Xiao felt extremely wronged.

That professor is so idle, he even cares about what other people wear. He's meddling in everything.

She didn't mean anything by it; it was just that in that situation, she suddenly felt very wronged. Although Brother Ouyang had given her the apartment, there were conditions attached.

She felt that Ouyang's love for her should be unconditional.

She was unhappy with conditions like these.

In addition, the outfit made her look pitiful, which matched her mood perfectly. Wearing it made her feel especially pure, even holy, and it was also very beautiful. It gave her a feeling of being both wronged and beautiful, and it looked great on camera, so she wore it.

(Her assistant tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen.)

So, she wasn't scolded for severing ties with her family, but she was scolded for wearing clothes? How unfair!!

When Ouyang Si got home from get off work that evening, she saw that Xia Xiao's eyes were swollen from crying, and her son's eyes were also swollen because of a cold. (Assistant Wang: The young master's cold was quite serious this time. His parents didn't give him medicine immediately, and his throat was so swollen that it felt blocked. Miss Xia's parents really went too far in this regard.)

When Ouyang Si gave her a choice, he thought she would whine and act spoiled. He didn't expect her to be so decisive and quick, which surprised him. He was so surprised that he didn't even notice what Xia Xiao was wearing.

Then public opinion erupted, and that's when I noticed it.

Ouyang Si: ? ? ?

You're just severing ties, not attending a funeral. Your parents aren't dead yet, why are you wearing this? It's a bit premature.

Xia Xiao felt even more aggrieved when she saw Ouyang Si. It was all his fault. If he hadn't made her do this, she wouldn't have been scolded.

Ouyang Si was also exhausted. He had signed such a big deal, and there was a lot of follow-up work to be done. Capitalists aren't stupid, especially foreign investors, who have a lot of demands. He would be very busy from now on.

This time, he didn't try to coax Xia Xiao.

Instead, he said to her, "If an insult breaks you down, and applause inflates your ego, then your mind doesn't belong to you; you are a slave to whoever speaks to you." (Note: This quote is from the internet; the original author could not be found.)

Xia Tianxin looked up at her father—this man was something else. (He wasn't afraid of public criticism.)

Xia Xiao continued to cry until Assistant Wang brought her a two-million-dollar diamond watch, at which point her hiccups gradually stopped.

Xia Tianxin glanced sideways at her mother—this woman was quite something. (She achieved her goal by crying.)

……

The lambs in the Duan family's courtyard were skewered on the grill with their eyes squinted.

It is rotating slowly and evenly, receiving heat.

A faint aroma of meat is already wafting through the air.

Shen Yue was not unfamiliar with the Duan family; she had visited them when she was a child.

The yard is quite large, with a large circular lawn and many pomegranate trees planted in it.

The pomegranate trees have grown into a forest.

It expresses Duan's mother's strong desire for many children and many blessings.

The yard is full of pomegranates, and they haven't been picked much yet; they look very beautiful.

Tonight is a family dinner, but unfortunately, Young Master Duan was sent away on a business trip by his older brother. Young Master Duan said he was injured and needed his help with something, so he had to go to another city. In any case, Young Master Duan was sent away like that.

In fact, Young Master Duan also breathed a sigh of relief.

His feelings for Shen Yue are very complicated. On the one hand, having been a fan for so long, he has come to see himself as one and feels proud. On the other hand, Shen Yue is too strong, especially when he watched her hunt crocodiles. His legs went cold, and he felt like a man who loved dragons but was terrified of them. He really likes Shen Longwang, but when Shen Longwang is actually in front of him, he is afraid and his legs are shaking.

Fortunately, his older brother gave him a task and sent him away. His older brother is the best; he has helped him since he was a child.

Duan Ershao even posted on his WeChat Moments that he was on a business trip.

So Shen Yue, Duan's mother, Duan's father, and Duan's eldest son ate the whole roasted lamb together that night.

Mr. Duan has a heart condition and can't eat too much oily food; he has to eat in moderation. People with health problems like him especially like healthy children, especially girls like Shen Yue who look healthy and lively. He just loves them.

Mrs. Duan was overjoyed that it was rare for a girl to visit her family, and that her eldest son was willing to keep her company.

The crow's feet around my eyes looked two more than usual when I smiled.

The evening was filled with food and drinks, and everyone got along very well. Both Duan's parents were quite humorous, while Duan's eldest son was a bit quieter. However, he was very capable, and Shen Yue's bowls and plates were always full, with people constantly feeding her.

This finally made up for the hunger I suffered while surviving on the deserted island.

Satisfy.

Shen Yue is also very talkative. Her experiences are truly bizarre and rich, from the interesting stories on the deserted island to the thrilling adventures of reporting spies. Duan's parents found it all very entertaining.

In real life, Mr. Duan was not so taciturn; he was quite talkative.

The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.

Fruit after meals.

Mr. and Mrs. Duan said they were going to digest their food and asked their son to stay with Xiaoyue.

Then Duan Shao and Shen Yue were left in the courtyard.

I made a point of cleaning Duan Dashao very thoroughly today. Of course, he's usually clean, but today he's especially clean and smells wonderful.

We ate very little mutton during the meal, but quite a lot of peanuts.

He looked up some unconventional tips on Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform) on how to keep your breath fresh while eating. When it's inconvenient to brush your teeth or use breath freshener, you can eat some peanuts, which will leave a pleasant fragrance on your lips and teeth. The aroma of peanuts is very strong and unique.

So Young Master Duan quietly ate peanuts at night, until he was almost full, and even his burps smelled of fragrant peanuts.

Shen Yue's impression of Duan Zhiheng was still that of a cold and aloof swordsman. Now, she has added new labels to that: #business genius#, #can withstand pain#, and #loves to eat peanuts#.

Duan cleared his peanut-scented throat and said, "Your idea of ​​donating the flying sword is excellent. It's a great way to promote military-civilian cooperation. I've already asked my staff to expedite it, and it will be finished soon. I've also made some minor improvements, making it even better. Thank you for your investment. I said I wanted to thank you for saving me last time, but I didn't get to. You not only returned my money but also helped Wan Heng open up cooperation with the government. I heard from the instructor that you fly very well. To thank you, I've ordered a plane for you. Could you help me choose the interior?"

Duan Zhiheng handed the tablet to Shen Yue, which showed the aircraft's architecture and interior design options.

Shen Yue simply pointed her hand, and the seat interior and other details appeared—it was amazing.

As Shen Yue watched, the price soared from $2000 million to $3100 million with each click of her finger.

But on the screen, a beautiful Sikorsky S-92 is flying.

Duan Zhiheng explained, "This was developed by Siscok in the United States, and Jingdezhen Helicopter Group in my country also participated in the joint development. We were mainly responsible for the development and manufacturing of the horizontal tail section of the inclined beam. It is highly favored by royal families, political figures and tycoons from various countries. It is known as the 'airborne residence' and is very comfortable, which is suitable for you."

"Isn't this thank-you gift a bit too expensive?" Shen Yue thought the price was a bit outrageous.

"No, business is business. You deserve it. Besides, they're having a promotion, and I have coupons," Duan Zhiheng said.

Shen Yue was surprised; there were coupons for buying airplanes? It seems that people have indeed downgraded their spending.

Young Master Duan quietly claimed the 50 yuan discount coupon for purchases over 20 million yuan. This airplane costs 210 million yuan, so he could claim 10 coupons, saving 500 yuan. What a steal! Plus, free shipping.
