“Hmph!” Yu Tang huffed coldly. “Fine! Stay single forever then! You’ll be all lonely and miserable!”
She was like a little frog, one that dared to mock her uncle.

Outside.
Si Fuqing leaned against the railing, letting the wind brush past her hair. With one hand, she pulled out her phone and logged onto Weibo.
Instantly, her notifications exploded— all flashing red with 999+.
Too lazy to scroll through them, she went straight to posting a new update.
[@Si FuqingV: 1️. I didn’t sign anything. I don’t even know what this is about. I didn’t get a single cent, so whoever took the money, go find them. 2️. NT pulled out of the Daxia market within a day. A brand that insults Daxia doesn’t deserve any endorsement.]
Whether it was her fans or the general public, everyone had been waiting for Si Fuqing to speak up.
Even though the trending topic had been taken down and a few marketing accounts had issued apologies, debunking rumors online was always harder than spreading them. Many people were still cursing her.
Now that Si Fuqing finally responded, her fans, the Mu Si, were furious.
[It’s Tianle Media again! Shameless! Using dirty tricks to suppress artists— you really think no one can see through you?]
[Protecting my wife up front! If she says she didn’t sign, then she didn’t sign! Just look at her plain white T-shirt, does she look like someone who just got paid tens of millions for an endorsement?]
But most netizens were focused on her second point.
[Yeah, sure, keep bragging. NT pulling out of Daxia in one day? Do you even know how many stores they have here? Over a thousand! Let’s see you make all thousand close overnight!]
[We’ve seen her predictions before. First she prayed for rain, then came the Pei Building incident. I’m choosing to believe her again. Maybe her mouth really is blessed.]
[Wait—yesterday I passed by the NT store in the mall near my house. It was closed! The staff said it was being renovated... don’t tell me it’s actually shutting down?!]
[Honestly, NT’s products are trash anyway. Their foundation turns dull in two hours. For that price, we might as well buy Yiluochun.]
[Yiluochun’s blush is the GOAT*!]
*GOAT is an acronym for “Greatest of All Time.”
Si Fuqing’s bold response actually made many people believe she hadn’t been the one who wanted the endorsement in the first place.
But the new wave of debate now centered on “NT pulling out of the Daxia market.” The Mu Si turned their fury toward Tianle Media’s official Weibo.
Late at night, the PR department manager still couldn’t catch a break. He'd been working overtime for days, and now he was being summoned again.
“Why haven’t you had her Weibo account shut down yet?” Manager Luo slammed his hand on the desk, his face dark. “How did you let her post again?”
The conflict between Si Fuqing and Tianle Media had only been dug up by hardcore fans, casual gossipers never paid much attention to the backstory.
But these fans were relentless, and now the tide of public opinion was starting to shift.
“There’s nothing we can do,” the PR manager said miserably. “If we ban her account now, it’ll just prove we’re hiding something.”
“Manager Luo, don’t worry.” Feng Peizhi actually smiled. “Whether she was personally there or not, the endorsement contract’s already signed. She can’t refuse to show up for the official promo shoot, can she?”
Although NT Cosmetics was an affordable brand, it was still an international one.
If Si Fuqing refused to go, it would mean going back on her word and breaking the contract.
That would effectively shut her out of the international market.
Whether she backed out or went through with it, either way, it would only harm her.
That was exactly Tianle Media’s goal.
Manager Luo let out a cold snort. “Si Fuqing can only talk big online. She can’t change reality. Let her keep running her mouth. Soon, she won’t even be able to speak.”
Feng Peizhi forced a smile but felt just as anxious inside.
She was supposed to be accompanying Meng Xue on set, but these past few days she hadn’t had a moment’s peace because of Si Fuqing’s mess.
“Alright, you can all leave,” Manager Luo waved his hand. “It’s late. Take tomorrow off.”
Feng Peizhi nodded and was about to walk out—
When the PR manager’s voice suddenly trembled, “M–Manager Luo, something’s happened…”
At 11 p.m., a new topic suddenly shot to the top of the trending list:
#NT Cosmetics Completely Withdraws from the Daxia Market#

Yu Xiheng: Didn’t you say you’d take everything I gave you? Si Fuqing: :)
