At that time, Xia Xing definitely wouldn’t answer other people’s video calls, but he didn’t hesitate to answer the one from Xia Ye.

“Little Tiangao, what do you need from Second Brother?”

Jian Manman had also heard recently that the Xia family had picked up a daughter from the mountains, and judging by Xia Xing’s attitude, she knew it had to be her, no doubt about it.

Xia Xing doted on his other sister too, but there was a clear difference in attitude.

Remembering that she might have been a bit too forward with Xia Xing just now, she decided it was time to make amends.

After all, Xia Xing had a huge fan base, and if she provoked him enough to bad-mouth her online, that would be quite troublesome.

Jian Manman took a breath and asked Xia Xing, “Is it the sister who just got back?

Let me say hello to her.”

Xia Xing’s mind was still a mess, so he simply extended his phone toward her.

Jian Manman saw Xia Ye in the video, lounging in front of a desk, slightly lifting her chin as she looked at her, her expression somewhat disdainful but still, out of politeness, she greeted, “Hello, I am your brother’s…” She paused for two seconds: “friend, Jian Manman.”

Xia Ye tilted her head, showing a slightly surprised expression.

Jian Manman internally rolled her eyes, sure she was another fan.

Just as she was about to greet her with a smile, the next second, she heard Xia Ye speak, “So you’re the cruel-hearted girlfriend of my Second Brother, huh?”

Jian Manman’s expression changed drastically, her face flushing and then turning pale, her lips trembling as she bit them: “What did you say?

We broke up a long time ago!

We split up amicably because our values didn’t align!

I can’t stand your brother’s materialism, measuring everything with money, little sister, if you don’t understand the facts, please don’t talk nonsense, okay?”

Jian Manman thought Xia Ye would be like everyone else, convinced by her reason for the breakup, but she hadn’t expected…

“Can’t stand my brother’s materialism, huh?” Xia Ye looked genuinely puzzled, her tone relaxed: “Then why are you still driving the luxury car my brother gave you?

Using the designer bags my brother bought you?

Acting in roles my brother helped you get?

Miss, if you’re so above it all, shouldn’t you return these things?

Using my brother’s gifts and then badmouthing him, isn’t that cruel-hearted?”

Xia Xing was a bit dazed, not knowing how his little sister had learned about their past.

“You…”

Jian Manman took a step forward.

But Xia Xing immediately moved the phone behind him.

His instinctual reaction was unacceptable to Jian Manman; his sister was just on video, not there in person.

Was he seriously worried she would hit his sister?

The former Xia Xing who had adored and pampered her, was now protecting this girl who insulted her.

Jian Manman’s jealousy was overwhelming, and, disbelieving, she looked at Xia Xing: “Your sister speaks to me like this, and you won’t say anything?”

Xia Xing felt a bit awkward; if it were anyone else talking like that to Jian Manman, even though they were now broken up, he probably wouldn’t have allowed it.

But those words were spoken from Little Tiangao’s mouth…

Honestly, he felt somewhat moved.

“Actually…

she’s not wrong.”

Jian Manman: “What did you say?”

This blunt man’s response from Xia Xing successfully drove Jian Manman away in anger.

After driving her off, Xia Xing felt somewhat remorseful.

Yet within that remorse, there was also a kind of indescribable relief, as if the words he had kept bottled up in his heart had finally been spoken by someone else.

Over at FB team, there were just ten minutes left before they had to go on stage.

If it weren’t for the team members holding him back, the club owner would have gone to find the program crew.

“Damn program crew, who else could they have picked but Jian Manman to be a guest?

Xia Xing isn’t back yet, he’s definitely lost his composure, hurry up and figure something out!”

The team members looked at each other, having really not brought any substitute players to Jiangzhou this time.

Just as they were at a loss, Xia Xing appeared at the door, hands in pockets.

The team members were overjoyed: “Xia God, how did you get back?”

Xia Xing arched an eyebrow, coolly looking back, and he didn’t seem as agitated as before: “What?

Isn’t there a match?”
