Qi Zhiqiang had not yet noticed Xia Xibei’s expression and continued, “If you come back to the Qi family, we can give you a company right away. You don’t have tobe some actor, selling yourself like that! How humiliating!”

Xia Xibei’s face became more unpleasant with his comment.

The patriarch noticed Xia Xibei’s face and immediately stopped Qi Zhiqiang’s words.

“Son! What are you talking about?! Shut up!”

Only after being shouted at by the old man did Qi Zhiqiang notice Xia Xibei’s flushed face.

He was a little embarrassed, but he didn’t want to apologize either.

After all, in his opinion, the entertainment industry was indeed very messy.

Xia Xibei had been in the entertainment industry for so long, so who knew what had happened to her?

It was irrelevant before, but now she was the child of the Qi family. How could she continue to stay in the entertainment industry?

If other people knew about this, how humiliating it would be!

Xia Xibei took in Qi Zhiqiang’s expression, her eyes downcast.

“Do you think it’s shameful that I’m a star?”

“Of course…”

“Then I won’t shame your Qi family.” Xia Xibei raised her gaze to his, her eyes cold. “It’s better for me to leave.”

Qi Zhiqiang originally thought that Xia Xibei was going to withdraw from the entertainment industry, but unexpectedly, she said these words instead. He was stunned.

“You! How can you be like this?! I- I didn’t say anything…”

At the end of the sentence, he couldn’t help but be sheepish.

When he met Xia Xibei’s eyes, his confidence shrank more and more.

Qi Xiangyuan immediately stood up to defend his father, “Sister, don’t be angry, Dad said these words without ill will. He didn’t mean…”

Qi Xiangyuan did not expect Xia Xibei to be so ferocious.

Obviously, she was just an ordinary starlet before, but she was tougher than everyone else.

Qi Xiangyuan would never fight with the elders. That was simply a death wish!

Maybe Xia Xibei did not understand the power of the Qi family, or she really did not care. Tonight, from the time she came in until now, she had almost fought all the people here.

“Is that so?” Xia Xibei swept a glance at them. “I remember I just said earlier that I don’t like people telling me what to do. You guys haven’t forgotten, have you?”

The corners of Qi Xiangyuan’s mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself.

This girl was really difficult!

They had already checked out her past.

From what they found, Xia Xibei’s first 17 years were very miserable.

Not to say that she was not clothed or fed, but she wasn’t much better than that either.

Obviously, she was so weak before, but in the past year, her whole persona had completely changed.

From being weak and bullied before, to being tough now, she was simply a different person!

They were also curious as to what had happened to her to bring about such a change.

However, now was not the time to dwell on these things.

“Of course we haven’t forgotten!” Qi Xiangyuan nodded repeatedly. “Aren’t we also worried that you’re working too hard?”

“Don’t worry, I think it’s quite easy and fun.” Xia Xibei turned up the corner of her mouth. “If I don’t feel like it, I’ll back out.”

“That’s right,” Qi Xiangyuan smiled sheepishly.

The old man watched Xia Xibei fighting Qi Xiangyuan and his father, and lightly coughed to change the topic.

“In that case, do as you like. Finish your exam before coming to the imperial capital for university.”

“Ok,” Xia Xibei nodded her head.

She had originally wanted to come to the imperial capital for university anyway, so she didn’t care about the old man’s arrangement.

Seeing that she didn’t fight him, the old man let out a quiet sigh of relief.
