Chapter 1199: The Princess’s Confidence Comes from Her Strength

“Did you buy a ticket for ‘Starry Sky Journey’? That ticket is so difficult to buy. I’m convinced.”
“That ticket is hard to get. It’s rare to have a large sci-fi movie. The cinema is full.”
The passers-by were discussing Director Charon’s new work, “Starry Sky Journey”. Xia Wanyuan did not feel anything when she heard that. Other people’s movies had nothing to do with her.
However, although she did not care, the netizens were worried.
After all, Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan’s images actually coincided. At that time, Director Charon was choosing a supporting role, and Xia Wanyuan had once auditioned but was rejected. Now that “Starry Sky Journey” was selling well, many people began to mention Xia Wanyuan openly and secretly.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk. The global box office of “Starry Sky Journey” exceeded one billion on the first day it was released. This result is heaven-defying. Even if Su Yueran is only a supporting role in it, it’s still considered her movie achievement. I feel that Su Yueran is about to ascend.]
[ I wonder where the Xia Wanyuan who said that she doesn’t care about Director Charon’s movie is at this moment?? Hahaha, isn’t she embarrassed? She’s forcefully salvaging her dignity. In terms of movies, Su Yueran’s results are still better. ]
[Didn’t Xia Wanyuan build her own studio? I heard that it was specially made for her movie “Eldest Princess”. Chinese movies, especially ancient movies, are really stretched. I advise her not to embarrass herself.]
As “Starry Sky Journey” became popular, more and more people mentioned Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan.
Due to Xia Wanyuan’s interview on America’s official television station and her extremely popular video every week, Xia Wanyuan was now very famous overseas.
Now that the movie “Starry Sky Journey” had appeared, the mockery on the Internet was even more one-sided. A large number of haters took the opportunity to mock Xia Wanyuan for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth and trying to challenge an internationally famous director.
What followed was mockery of Chinese movies overseas. After all, in reality, no movie in China really led to the world.
The Chinese netizens were scolded badly, but they could not retort. They could only climb back behind the wall angrily and not argue with the fool.
In the hospital, passers-by discussed the movie and mentioned Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan from time to time.
When Xia Yu heard this, he frowned and was about to argue with someone else, but Xia Wanyuan pulled him back. “There’s nothing to argue about. The truth is more important than anything.”
Xia Yu was indignant. “They’re talking nonsense. Sister, your movie is clearly better. I won’t watch that ‘Starry Sky Journey’ even if you beat me to death.”
Xia Wanyuan looked at Xia Yu in amusement. “Why can’t you watch it? I’m prepared to watch it too.”
In her previous life, as the Queen Regent, Xia Wanyuan had a strong nationalastic heart. She had deep feelings for the country she had ruled.
However, this did not mean that she was narrow-minded and could not see the merits of others.
To a monarch, narrow-mindedness and arrogance could destroy a country.
Xia Yu was still a little unhappy. “Then go and take a look. I’m not watching anyway.”
Xia Wanyuan smiled. “Alright, if you’re not watching, let’s go in and take a look at An Rao. Then, I have to go to work.”
“Okay.”
Xia Yu followed Xia Wanyuan into the ward. At that moment, An Rao was already awake and looking at her son with a frown. When she saw Xia Wanyuan, An Rao’s eyes lit up. “Yuan Yuan! Come quickly. Did you carry the wrong child? How can my son be so ugly!!”
The wrinkled, dark, and thin girl in front of her was very different from the little angel she had imagined.
“He’ll look better when you raise him,” Xia Wanyuan repeated helplessly for the third time.
“Aiya, I didn’t have a daughter. Is Xiao Bao crying miserably? His wife is gone.” An Rao gently pinched her son’s small hand. Immediately, a strange feeling connected to her heart.
An Rao blinked and felt that it was amazing. I had really given birth to such a small creature that could cry and laugh!
“Yes, work harder.” Thinking of Xiao Bao’s crying face, Xia Wanyuan found it a little funny. “Rest first. I’ll go back and visit you tonight.”
“It’s nothing.” An Rao waved at Xia Wanyuan. “You’re so busy. You don’t have to look after me every day. Bo Xiao will take care of me here.”
Xia Yu followed Xia Wanyuan out of the hospital. After saying goodbye to Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu walked alone on the street.
After staying in the desert for too long, Xia Yu was not used to the noise in the city.
The sounds of cars, people, and vendors hurriedly brushed past his ear. Xia Yu still felt that it was a little unreal.
“Xia Yu, why are you here?” A smiling voice suddenly came from behind.
Xia Yu turned around and his eyes lit up.
It was Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was already beautiful and young. When she was in the desert, she always wore a shirt and pants. Now that she was back in Beijing, she wore a chiffon dress and her hair was draped behind her head.
Her smile was bright like the begonia in spring, blooming against the warm wind.
“I’m walking around.” Xia Yu nodded at Lin Yi. “What are you doing here?”
“My unit is over there. I’m here to update my identification today.” Lin Yi pointed not far away. “Since we met, do you remember telling me that you’ll treat me to a meal when we return to Beijing?”
Xia Yu smiled. “No problem. Order whatever you want.”
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Lin Yi’s dimples appeared. She naturally pulled Xia Yu’s arm and walked towards the street. “I calculated that a few years ago, there was a shop here that cut mutton. The taste was really authentic. I wonder if it still exists. Let’s go take a look.”
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked into the alley.
No one noticed that a black car was parked at the corner of the street not far away. The light was green, but the car did not move forward. No matter how the horns behind it sounded, the black car did not move.
Xia Wanyuan returned to Qing University. Just as she entered the classroom, she realized that Yu Qian was sitting in the last row.
He was still sitting in the same position as before with a book spread out in front of him with a peaceful expression.
Xia Wanyuan glanced at him and retracted her gaze, then began to explain today’s lesson.
Yu Qian seemed to be listening very seriously. From time to time, he would stop and write a few words.
After the class, Xia Wanyuan stopped to wipe the blackboard. When she turned around, Yu Qian was no longer in the last row.
Xia Wanyuan felt very uncomfortable. She packed her things and walked out, but she met the reporters who had been waiting at the door.
Seeing Xia Wanyuan, everyone rushed forward. “Xia Wanyuan, what do you think of the popularity of ‘Starry Sky Journey’? How’s your preparation for your movie? Are you confident?”
Xia Wanyuan nodded. “I’m confident.”
Then, the headline that the reporter turned to publish on the news was “Xia Wanyuan is confident that her new movie will surpass ‘Starry Sky Journey’.”
