CHAPTER 537: CHAPTER 538: PREPARING TO GET MARRIED

"I’m on my own for now, running the household myself." Those were the real facts.

After Shi Mei severed ties with the Shi Family, she truly had no relatives left.

Fortunately, she had Ye Tiao by her side, along with Tang Jingming and Shi Lingyan, so she wasn’t too lonely.

Grandma Shi’s enthusiasm cooled a bit, "So, who are you living with now?"

"With my bestie."

"Bestie, huh? Is she married, how old is she, and what does she do?"

Shi Mei: "...Not married, in her twenties, she runs a store."

"Oh~ running a store, having her own small business isn’t bad, that’s good. And what about you, what job are you doing now?"

"Running the store together, we’re preparing to open a branch."

Grandma Shi felt somewhat comforted.

Running a small business meant she was a grounded girl.

Preparation to open a branch shop indicated that the main store was doing well; otherwise, how could they afford to open another in the high-priced Imperial City?

"So, that’s it. Don’t work too hard, girls don’t need to make so much money. Being happy and content is what matters, but you sing so well, why not try to enter the entertainment industry?"

"..." This old lady talks so much!

Internally, Shi Mei cursed, but she honestly responded, "I’ve tried, participated in ’Behind the Scenes Star,’ offended Miss Bai, and now I’m blacklisted."

"Wow, how could they do that!" Old Lady Shi was slightly angry, "Didn’t I specifically say last time to make sure you advanced? Did those people take the money and do nothing?"

Shi Mei couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "You did that?"

"Yes!" Grandma Shi was assertive, not feeling anything wrong with using such underhanded tactics, "This show team is too much! So, do you want to re-enter the entertainment industry? If you want, I can help you."

"I’ve been blacklisted."

"By Bai Yuejie?"

"Yeah."

"No worries, I’ll help you. If an old woman like me can’t do much else, I can still throw my weight around. She wouldn’t dare say anything."

Shi Mei: "..." Proud of throwing your weight around!

"Besides, Bai Yuejie doesn’t have the energy to deal with such matters now, alas, her heart isn’t good, she might not have long left, she’s really pitiful. This child’s fate has been poor since she was young, her health isn’t great. Maybe she can be a bit extreme at times, don’t blame her. Grandma can help you re-enter the industry."

"Thank you, Grandma, but no need, I don’t have time to prepare for a debut or anything, we’re still getting the branch ready."

At that moment, Shi Lingyan emerged from the bathroom, and Shi Mei, relieved, said, "Grandma, Ah Ling’s out now, I’ll let him talk to you."

Shi Lingyan wiped his face and naturally took the phone, "Grandma?"

"Eh!" Grandma Shi sounded very happy, "Ling Yan, when are you coming back?"

Shi Lingyan’s first reaction was that Grandma Shi wanted to talk about Bai Yuejie, his heart sank slightly, and he asked, "What’s happening?"

Sure enough, Grandma Shi said, "It’s not much, just about Bai Yuejie’s situation. You’ve probably heard, but if you’ve got time, come back earlier. Also, tell me what’s going on between you and Senior Sister, how far have things progressed? Are you living together?"

Shi Lingyan glanced at Shi Mei, responded faintly, then immediately said, "We’re planning to get married."
