Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love-Chapter 199 - 198: God! How many more surprises are you going to give me?

Chapter 199: Chapter 198: God! How many more surprises are you going to give me?

Ming Yao rested for a few days, and after regaining some strength, she turned on her phone.

Once again, she blocked Gu Siting.

There were many unread messages, which she hadn’t yet had a chance to look at, when she received a call from Zhong Ling.

“Sister Yao, you finally turned on your phone!” Zhong Ling didn’t know what had happened to Ming Yao and thought she had been enjoying a sweet and loving time with Fourth Master. There was a tinge of joy in her voice, “Gu Corporation’s new ‘Deadly Attraction’ perfume has chosen you as their spokesperson, they want us to go sign the contract!”

Zhong Ling had looked at the contract, and the endorsement fee offered by Gu Corporation was quite substantial.

Zhong Ling thought Ming Yao would be very happy, after all, Gu’s perfume brand was very well-known in Country C, ranking in the top three as they had previously only used their internal celebrities for endorsements.

This was the first time they had sought an outside artist.

Ming Yao replied indifferently, “Tell the person coordinating with Gu Corporation that I refuse to endorse.”

Zhong Ling let out an “Ah” and was just about to ask why when the call was disconnected.

Ming Yao got up, took a bath in the bathroom, and changed into a new set of clothes before coming out.

Xia Yiwan called, their family’s newly-launched lipstick was having a product launch, and she asked Ming Yao if she had time to come over for fun.

Ming Yao agreed to Xia Yiwan.

Ming Yao wore a black coat and a beret as she came down from upstairs.

In the past few days, she had slimmed down a bit, making her face look even more delicate and exquisite.

With her pale white skin, phoenix eyes, and naturally rosy lips.

Aunt Zhong saw Ming Yao coming down from upstairs with happiness on her face.

“Wife,” she greeted.

Ming Yao nodded to Aunt Zhong, “I might not come back tonight, Aunt Zhong, so there’s no need to wait for me.”

Aunt Zhong watched Ming Yao’s figure, sighing deeply.

After this incident, the wife seemed to have changed quite a lot.

She had become colder, more distant, and indifferent.

Ming Yao drove to the site of Xia Yiwan’s family’s launch event.

She thought it would be bustling, but upon arrival, she saw very few guests and media reporters.

Xia Yiwan was visibly upset.

Only Love Cosmetics was a brand founded by Xia Yiwan. She had focused on researching cosmetics for the past two years. Finally, they had a new product hitting the market, but today her arch-rival Chu Siyao also held a cosmetics product launch event.

Chu Siyao was Xia Yiwan’s college classmate, and she had always been envious of Xia Yiwan, especially since people thought Xia Yiwan looked prettier than Chu Siyao when made up.

Chu Siyao was a well-known beauty blogger with tens of millions of followers on Weibo.

Today, at her product launch, she not only lured away the clients and media reporters Xia Yiwan had invited, but she also openly challenged Xia Yiwan at the event, claiming her cosmetics were better than Xia Yiwan’s and that her sales would surely surpass Xia Yiwan’s by several times. If Xia Yiwan didn’t accept it, they should have a live showdown tonight.

For tonight’s livestream, Chu Siyao had invited the somewhat notorious Ming Wan.

Although Ming Wan’s reputation hadn’t been great lately, she still had a group of loyal fans.

Knowing that Ming Wan was going to be a guest in Chu Siyao’s live room, her fans were actively promoting it.

Xia Yiwan felt like she was being roasted on a spit. If she didn’t livestream tonight, it was akin to admitting defeat outright.

Her newly developed product had not even hit the market; was it destined to die before it even launched?

No, she would not accept that!

Xia Yiwan took out her phone and called a few minor celebrities she knew.

Even though she offered them money to come, all of them declined after learning that she was going to compete with Chu Siyao in a live showdown.

Chu Siyao was not only a beauty industry blogger with tens of millions of fans but also the precious daughter of the Chu Family. Who would dare to offend her?

As for Xia Yiwan, she was just the daughter of a newly rich family, with a clear social status gap laid out before them. Who would be willing to help Xia Yiwan and offend Chu Siyao?

Ming Yao looked at Xia Yiwan sitting in the corner of the press conference with a gloomy face, sighing heavily, and walked over to pat her on the shoulder, “Usually you’re a little sun that can shine brightly even when the sky falls. What’s wrong today?”

Xia Yiwan indignantly told Ming Yao about how Chu Siyao wanted to challenge her to a competition.

“Yaoyao, look, this is the new lipstick I’ve developed. It has all sorts of shades, and everyone who tries it likes it.”

“But those people online, they just keep saying my lipstick is not as good as Chu Siyao’s. It’s infuriating!”

Ming Yao tried the new product that Xia Yiwan had developed, and sure enough, it was as good as Xia Yiwan had said.

“I’ll help you tonight.”

Xia Yiwan’s eyes widened, “Yaoyao, you’re willing to help me? But…”

“But I’m also a low-ranking celebrity with no fame, right?”

Xia Yiwan quickly shook her head, “No, no, that’s not what I meant.”

“I know that’s not what you meant, and I won’t blame you.” Ming Yao smiled slightly, “Of course, I won’t be appearing as myself. Anyway, you’ll see how I’ll help you beat Chu Siyao and Ming Wan’s live stream tonight.”

Following Ming Yao’s instructions, Xia Yiwan set up the live stream room.

Then, Xia Yiwan responded to Chu Siyao on the official website of Only Love Cosmetics.

When Chu Siyao and Ming Wan saw that Xia Yiwan accepted the challenge to compete with them, they both laughed.

“Siyao, Xia Yiwan really is the daughter of a nouveau riche, so overconfident!”

To dare to compete with a beauty blogger, Xia Yiwan was truly daring!

“Wanwan, I’ve heard Xia Yiwan is your sister’s best friend, and lately, your sister has been slapping your face quite a bit. Tonight, watch how I’ll slap her best friend’s face for you!”

Ming Wan felt both jealous and annoyed at the mention of Ming Yao.

She took out her phone and sent Ming Yao a link to the live stream where Xia Yiwan was accepting Chu Siyao’s challenge.

[Sister, will you be there to support Xia Yiwan tonight? Siyao is the pinnacle of the beauty world. I’m really worried Xia Yiwan might lose badly! Cover mouth, stealthy laugh JPG.]

Xia Yiwan’s face turned ashen when she saw the message that Ming Wan had sent to Ming Yao.

“Ming Wan, this White Lotus, is simply too bitchy!”

“Don’t be angry. They’ll vomit blood when they see the popularity of your live stream tonight.”

Xia Yiwan looked at Ming Yao lounging on the sofa, playing with her phone, and suddenly thought her Yaoyao was so mysterious!

In the evening, Jing Hang brought over the items that Ming Yao had asked for.

After changing into her battle attire and putting on her mask, Ming Yao took out her phone and switched accounts to post a status update on Instagram.

Xia Yiwan also changed her clothes, and when she came out, she was stunned to see Ming Yao in her battle attire.

“Yaoyao, is this, is this…”

Xia Yiwan wasn’t very knowledgeable about music before, but after being with Zheng Yunche, she learned quite a bit about the music industry to match his interests.

The world’s most famous and mysterious masked singer, Shelly, had won the highest international music awards. She was the only person on Instagram with two hundred million followers.

Even though she wore a mask and had never revealed her true face in public, it didn’t diminish people’s affection for her.

She was proficient in various musical instruments, wrote her own lyrics and music, and every new song she released would become a global hit.

Zheng Yunche’s most admired singer was Shelly.

But to this day, no one knew which country Shelly was from, where she lived, or what she looked like!

Xia Yiwan’s jaw nearly dropped, “Yaoyao, don’t tell me, you’re the mysterious masked singer Shelly?”
