One bullet comment after another floated across the screen.

[Gosh, it’s our goddess, Yun Liu!]

[What a cute young lady!]

[She’s such an elegant beauty. Only a truly wealthy family can raise a girl with such a temperament.]

[Not only is Yun Liu charismatic, but she’s also gentle and kind. I simply adore her!]

[She’s so beautiful. I love her to bits.]

[This is how a wealthy young lady should be.]

Xu Yun frowned as she ate her fruits. Gu Man had been pretending to be disinterested while surreptitiously observing Xu Yun’s expression. Noticing Xu Yun’s slight dislike towards Yun Liu, she disdainfully sneered, “Is she reallya wealthy young lady? Which family is she from? That coy and shy attitude is ridiculous!”

Xu Yun couldn’t agree more and nodded. “She’s a little fake,” she commented, and Gu Man was delighted at her response.

Han Yuan chuckled, “The Yun family isn’t an aristocratic family to begin with. If it weren’t for the Shi family helping them all these years, they wouldn’t be where they are today. In my opinion, you shouldn’t let Shi Nian marry this girl; that would be degrading.”

Xu Yun stared at the television as the scene switched to another and nodded. “There’s no way Shi Nian would marry her!”

Han Yuan and Gu Man looked at each other and grinned. Gu Man was about to mock Yun Liu further with, “How dare she call herself a wealthy young lady? No self-respecting aristocrat would let their daughter go on a TV show like that; it’s a disgrace!”

But before she could say anything, Xu Yun suddenly pointed at the screen and exclaimed, “Look, it’s my daughter, Shi Xiu!”

Gu Man was shocked and almost bit her tongue. Her palms were sweating at her near-miss, and she quickly looked at the big screen.

Shi Xiu was onscreen, wearing cargo overalls, a black cap, and cotton gloves. She was carrying a wooden vase as she barged into camera view and walked past Yun Liu. She quickly went off-camera, but her voice could be heard excitedly saying, “Mr. Ji, come take a look at the vase I carved!”

On the camera, Yun Liu’s expression darkened. Fortunately, the camera immediately moved away, but some sharp-eyed netizens saw it, and bullet comments appeared straight away. [Oh, Yun Liu doesn’t look happy. Why’s that?]

[Why else? Two words: female rivalry!]

[That’s b*llsh*t! What utter nonsense! Didn’t you see a certain someone just walk by in front of the camera? How rude! I feel sorry for our Yun Liu. She has to deal with such behavior when she’s not good at reasoning with people!]

Xu Yun had a piece of fruit on her fork but didn’t eat it; she was too busy anxiously looking at the screen.

“Is that Shi Xiu?” Lin Yu asked softly, but no one answered.

The camera switched scenes and showed Shi Xiu running up to Ji Fei and handing the vase she was holding to him. Ji Fei took the vase, and his expression gradually turned pleasantly surprised as he observed it. He flipped the vase repeatedly as he scrutinized it, and Xiao Zhao, Yan Tang, Mai Fen, and the others all came over to take a look.

“Hey, Mr. Ji, I think Shi Xiu’s wood carving today is better than yesterday’s,” Xiao Zhao smilingly remarked.

Ji Fei nodded. “Hm, not bad!”

“Just ‘not bad? Mr. Ji, it’s so hard to get a proper compliment from you!” Mai Fen laughed and said. “As laymen, we think that this is already very good. ‘Not bad,’ huh? Hearing that, Shi Xiu will probably start a new carving today.”

Yan Tang went to Shi Xiu and pulled off Shi Xiu’s left glove. “Oh my!” she cried.

Before the television screen, Xu Yun also couldn’t help but exclaim.

Shi Xiu’s fingers were covered in wounds. Shi Xiu retracted her hand and quickly put on her glove. She grinned and reassured, “Yan Tang, it’s okay. I’m fine.”

Yan Tang looked at her with pity in her eyes and composedly instructed, “Come with me later to get that treated!”

“Yes, ma’am! Thank you, Yan Tang!” Shi Xiu thanked her sweetly but was looking at Ji Fei nervously.

Ji Fei finally returned the vase to her with the comment, “This is pretty good.” Shi Xiu took the vase and happily kissed it, and everyone laughed.

Ji Fei then said, “You’ve completed your training, Shi Xiu. I’m not joking. This is the first time I’ve met such a talented student willing to work so hard. If you need anything in the future, you can come find me at my studio.”

Shi Xiu’s jaw dropped in shock. Hai Hua stood behind her and patted her back, saying, “Silly girl, hurry up and thank your Master.”

Shi Xiu quivered, immediately knelt on the ground to kowtow, and happily called out, “Master!”

Ji Fei was shocked and quickly reached out to pull her up. “Get up, the floor’s dirty!” It rained last night, so the floor was still a little damp. However, Shi Xiu didn’t even hesitate when she knelt and kowtowed. Ji Fei couldn’t hide the smile on his austere face.

“Shi Xiu, I think you’re his last disciple,” Hai Hua chimed in. “Master Ji stopped taking disciples a long time ago. Your seniors are much older than you!”

“It’s rare to find such talent,” Ji Fei commented with a smile. “Keep up the good work, Shi Xiu!”

Shi Xiu nodded. “Yes, Master! I’ll definitely study hard!”

Mai Fen chuckled, “Hey, shouldn’t we have something nice for lunch today to celebrate?”
