The atmosphere became stagnant.

On the other end of the phone, Xiang Yi had become silent for a few seconds before she hung up.

Xiang Feng anxiously scolded. "Xiang Xiaoqi, how can you speak to your sister like that?! Do you know how happy your sister was when she heard you were back in China..."

"Happy?" Xiang Qi raised his hand to brush his sparse long hairs from his face, revealing a set of handsome but gloomy eyebrows. "Can't wait to make a joke out of me?"

Xiang Feng didn't know what to say. "..."

Thinking of the absurd things Xiang Yi had done in the past year, Xiang Feng couldn't say anything derogatory to him.

Xiang Qi was a famous fashion designer. He debuted at a young age and stepped on the runway at Fashion week by designing pieces for other fashion houses. However, he has always wanted to prepare his own personal show.

After working hard for several years, he finally had a set of ready-to-wear pieces for a line called "Winter Night". When he had been preparing for the big show, Xiang Yi had the whim to show off and posted the pieces all over her social media. It had been reposted on the internet by netizens, and Xiang Qi's work ended up being plagiarized by another designer who held their show before Xiang Qi's.

This kind of scandal was hard to clear up in the fashion industry since all evidence could only be based on the time of release. If Xiang Qi had used the same pieces for his show, plagiarism would have become a stain he would never be able to erase from his career.

Even then, Xiang Yi did not think she was in the wrong at all and accused Xiang Qi of holding his show too late. She only wanted to help her brother promote his work by posting on social media.

Xiang Qi had been so angry he tore up all the ready-made clothes and drafts. Because he had no more inspiration, he was unable to design a new line. As a result, his solo exhibit had been cancelled, becoming the laughing stock of the fashion industry.

In the past few months, he had been traveling around the world. Originally, he had been in a good mood upon returning to China, but the moment he heard Xiang Yi's name, he was unable to control his anger.

"Your sister is a different person now!" Xiang Feng tried his best to convince Xiang Qi. "If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Yu! He has the most to say. These are his words."

As he spoke, Xiang Feng dialed his mobile to Xiang Yu's phone, but nobody answered.

Xiang Qi looked at him coldly.

"...Why are you being so mean?" Xiang Feng meekly dialed the number of the gaming base's HQ.

This time, someone answered. It was Xiang Yu's teammate.

"Looking for Smog? He just returned from a variety show. We replayed him the video of him cuddling that cat, and then... and then, he completely shut down and locked himself in the training room for several days with his phone off. He hasn't logged onto any social media platforms either."

After rediscovering his sister, he had been in high spirits but was pretending to be a cold and unreachable esports legend. But when he saw his moronic behaviour in that video with his head buried in Xiao Naofu's belly and cooing like an idiot, he was instantly petrified.

Especially after he learned that this video had been seen by millions of netizens...

His reputation was gone, his face was gone, and Xiang Yu was gone.

Xiang Feng's lips twitched. "...Alright then. When he's done having a breakdown, tell him to call me back."

"Okay, uncle!"

After hanging up, Xiang Feng sneered at his third nephew. "Xiao Qi, you see here... This is an inevitable factor..."

Xiang Qi chuckled coldly and gracefully lifted his wine glass off the table to shake it. After drinking it, he realized that it had indeed been Coke as his movements were slightly stiff. Without changing his expression, he realized he had been using the motions of tasting expensive wine to taste... Coca Cola.

How stubborn!

Xiang Feng scratched his head. "Really, she's changed! Little Xiang Yi even made food for me, and it tasted so, so, so, so good!"

Xiang Qi's eyes lit up as he suppressed his emotions. Casually, he said. "Forget it. Tell her to get her ass in here now."

"But... Little Xiang Yi says she doesn't want to disturb you. She left already."

Xiang Qi: ???
