In the Ning family house.

Ning Zhe was very satisfied with Ning Dong’s performance.

“Dongdong, don’t worry. If your sister comes back, what will be yours won’t be any less than hers. The Ning family belongs to both of you. Study hard so you can share my workload with me as soon as possible.”

Su Tong was delighted by these words. After Ning Zhe left, she hugged her son and shook him excitedly. “Dongdong, Dongdong, did you hear that? Did you hear that? Your father has acknowledged you!”

Ning Dong allowed his mother to hug him, but his face was expressionless.

After a moment, Su Tong finally realized something was amiss. “Dongdong? What’s wrong?”

Ning Dong pushed his mother away impatiently. “What’s there to be happy about? Don’t you think this is what I deserve in the first place?” Then, he walked upstairs, ignoring the shocked Su Tong.

Ning Dong kicked his door shut and threw himself on his bed. Following that, he took his phone and sent a text: Brother Ji An, help me select a few capable men. I might have use for them.

Ji An replied instantly, “Okay!”

Ning Dong tossed his phone aside before he inhaled deeply and buried his face in the blanket. He wanted to make those who looked down on him regret their actions toward him.

…

At the same time, Ye Cheng smiled when he read the message Ji An forward to him before he put down his phone. Ning Dong was walking step by step in the direction he had hoped for. What troubled him the most now was the people and things in front of him.

Ye Xin had already broken most of the things in the living room.

Ye Cheng massaged his temples, thinking he should replace the furniture and decorations in the house with materials that were not easy to break. With his sister’s temper, this was bound to happen again. If he replaced everything with things that were hard to break, his sister could lose her temper as much as she wanted; there would be no loss.

Meanwhile, Gao Wen was so anxious, but she could only stomp her feet helplessly. She wanted to console Ye Xin but was afraid that she would be hurt by the things that Ye Xin was throwing around.

The reason for Ye Xin’s tantrum this time was due to the release of the drama version of Yi Yao that was released on the first day of the new year.

Ever since the drama was announced, it had attracted a lot of attention.

Moreover, Ye Xin’s company had spared no effort in promoting her. Even her fans had gone to great lengths to create hype for her.

Even before the drama was aired, small clips of the drama had been circulating on the Internet, whetting people’s appetite. Before the drama aired, there were already all kinds of comments praising Ye Xin to the heavens. They said just by watching the short clips they could see Ye Xin’s skilled acting. All of them said she was not Little Ning Xia; her acting skill was enough to get her out of the shadow of Ning Xia.

On the last day of filming, Ye Cheng even treated everyone in the production to a meal on Ye Xin’s behalf.

With all these, one could only imagine how popular Ye Xin was before the drama even began to air.

With the strong support of the Ye Group, Ye Xin’s company sold the show at a high price to the broadcasting station and even managed to snag the prime airing time that was the first day of the new year.

On the night of new year’s eve, Ye Xin held a live broadcast to interact with her fans and even sent a large number of photos and autographs to her fans.

There was no doubt the hype for the drama was at an all-time high. In comparison, the movie from ten years ago suddenly seemed shabby.

Both fans of Yi Yao and Ning Xia also had high hopes for the drama version of Yi Yao. Although they had caught a glimpse of Ning Xia during the film festival, she had made it clear she had no intentions of returning to the entertainment industry. Yi Yao was like their emotional sustenance so they were naturally excited about the drama.

There had never been a drama that garnered so much attention. It became the drama that everyone looked forward to the most.

Alas, as the saying went, ‘The higher you are, the harder you’ll fall’.

When the drama first aired, the film critics were silent.

On the third day, the Internet finally exploded. All sorts of articles and comments that praised Ye Xin were dug out and mocked. Ye Xin had been mocked and criticized until there was almost nothing left of her. All the praises had turned into jokes.

After ten episodes were aired, fans of Ning Xia began to get angry. All of them clamored that Ye Xin was not worthy of the title Little Ning Xia. In fact, it was an insult to Ning Xia! Ye Xin should just promote as Ye Xin and discard the title of Little Ning Xia. There was only one Ning Xia in this world; no one could imitate her.

The nostalgic and heartbroken netizens tried their best to find clips of the original movie and posted them on the Internet. The situation escalated, and some netizens even edited the movie and drama scenes and placed them side by side for comparison. They were the same lines and same scenes, but the acting skills were too different.

Everyone came to a conclusion: Ye Xin had no acting skills at all! Her expressions consisted of her staring blankly in the air, biting her lips, giggling foolishly, and acting pretentiously. Perhaps, her previous works were idol dramas, and the characters were in line with her real personality, no one discovered her bad acting.. Moreover, with a romantic plot, many young fans did not place much importance on acting skills.
