Hello Mr. King

Chapter 399: New Endorsement

As long as he wanted it, he could control the outcome of anything.

Yun Xiangxiang looked at Song Mian quietly. As she looked into his eyes, its purplish-black hue was as if the purple air encompassed the whole starry sky. It was gorgeous and noble.

“No, I don’t want to,” Yun Xiangxiang answered quickly.

No matter if they would win or lose this lawsuit, the most important thing was that they did their best. She had done everything she could for her friendship with Deng Yang, so she couldn’t ask Song Mian to create fake evidence for Deng Yang or have him get in the way of justice.

Yes, Deng Yang was accused, but she was the one who had a bad eye for men to start with. Yun Xiangxiang did sympathize and empathize with her situation, but she wouldn’t help Deng Yang this much.

Even if Yun Xiangxiang were in trouble, she wouldn’t want Song Mian to do this for her, let alone for Deng Yang. If she was in this cesspit because of her weakness one day, all she could do was to give in to fate.

“Xiangxiang, you have to understand that a lot of grey areas exist in every place.” Sighing, Song Mian took Yun Xiangxiang’s hand.

“I understand, Ah Mian.” Yun Xiangxiang smiled. “I know darkness resides everywhere. I know injustice exists everywhere. I know we’re upholding justice by helping Sister Yang, but I don’t want it to be through this way.”

She was still going to stand her ground. Just because the end was good didn’t mean they could ignore the means.

She didn’t know if everyone else was doing this, nor could she do anything about it either. But she could restrict herself, and she hoped everyone else would do the same thing. The shadows in the world would lessen with that.

“Okay, I know what to do.” Leaning forward, Song Mian kissed her forehead.

He Wei heaved a sigh. “I’ll have to confirm that you guys aren’t together before I come next time.”

The couple took him as an invisible man, and they didn’t think showing public affection here was anything bad.

“Hand this matter to Ah Mian, Brother Wei. We’ll help Sister Yang as much as possible. Whether she gets released or not depends on fate.” Yun Xiangxiang quickly changed the topic in embarrassment.

He Wei nodded before talking about another topic. “I accepted an endorsement for you. It’s a body shampoo made in China.”

Daily necessities? Yun Xiangxiang knew He Wei had always chosen brands with a good reputation for her endorsements.

He wouldn’t prioritize the fees and if they were big brands. He would prioritize big brands to raise Yun Xiangxiang’s net worth and status in the early stages.

Now that Yun Xiangxiang had a few top brands which she was endorsing, great fame, and was already starting to go global, he didn’t have to fight for the top brands’ endorsement with everyone else, unless it was for money.

But Yun Xiangxiang had to have some exposure from time to time since she couldn’t go without any activity, nor could she appear on interviews and variety shows too much.

That was why he accepted an endorsement for Yun Xiangxiang in the middle of the month. This body shampoo was the new product of a top company in the country. The company had an excellent reputation and work ethics.

He Wei had to think a lot for every endorsement. He needed to confirm that Yun Xiangxiang’s image wouldn’t be tarnished because of the endorsed product’s fault.

“When’s the contract signing?” Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t doubt He Wei’s choice, so she cut to the chase, asking for the contract signing date.

“This Saturday. We’ll talk about the contract on your day off, and I’ll try to ask them to schedule the shooting on weekends.” He Wei had thought out everything for her.

“Thank you, Brother Wei.” Yun Xiangxiang picked up Little Fairy that had come to her side, and she held her paws to make a thank you gesture at him.

“Meow, meow,” Little Fairy meowed a couple of times, playing along with her owner.

Now that the atmosphere became more relaxed, Yun Xiangxiang tried to ask He Wei to stay for dinner, but he refused. “I don’t want to watch a show of public affection during dinner.”

Yun Xiangxiang was embarrassed from being teased, but she knew He Wei had matters to settle, so she didn’t insist.

As for Deng Yang’s matters, Yun Xiangxiang could only get the progress from Song Mian. Since the legal process would take a long time, it gave Song Mian enough time to help Deng Yang procure the evidence.

When Friday came, Tao Manni tried to persuade Yun Xiangxiang to take an off day so they could go to the medical school to attend the public lecture.

“Xiangxiang, with how handsome your boyfriend is, won’t you worry if he’s harassed when you aren’t watching?

Even when Yun Xiangxiang rejected her, Tao Manni still pressed on, “Oh, just go. We’ll record it down and make the notes for you. Besides, you’ve already known what’s going to be taught in the afternoon’s class.

They had known Yun Xiangxiang for a while now, so they would know if Yun Xiangxiang had understood based on her pre-revised notes.

If Yun Xiangxiang didn’t understand something, she would highlight it and pay more attention in class when this popped up.

The fewer highlights in her revision notes, the more she understood its contents.

“If we go by that logic, then I’ll have to keep an eye on him all day and do nothing else.” Yun Xiangxiang rolled her eyes. “Or I can lock him up and forbid him from going anywhere. Nobody’s harassing him then.”

“Oh ho, that sounds like a dominatrix. I would love it if you do that.” Feng Xiaolu blinked at her in worship, wanting nothing more than for Yun Xiangxiang to take action.

“Sorry, I can’t appreciate the dominatrix fetish you have. What if you’re the one who’s locked up? Would you think it’s enjoyable?”

“If he’s handsome and belongs to me in body and soul, I don’t mind being locked up,” said Feng Xiaolu earnestly.

“She’s shameless and a masochist,” said Ma Linlin in disgust.

“I would like to eat, sleep, and play all day. It’s my dream to be rich without working, but I think that’s a bit… over the line.” It was the first time Tao Manni disagreed with Feng Xiaolu.

She was an outgoing lady, so asking her to stay in one place for all her life would drive her insane, even if the man beside her was as dashing as a deity.

Unlike Song Meng, who prioritized looks more than anything, Tao Manni liked freedom more than men.

“Hmph, everyone has their own dreams.” Feng Xiaolu snorted.

She was a shut-in. All she needed to live was a phone. If she had handsome men to serve her every day and needed to do nothing, that would be the best life for her.

Yun Xiangxiang agreed with her last point. Everyone thought differently, and they had different personalities, so the environment they loved and could adapt to would be different.

“Are you really not going, Xiangxiang?” Tao Manni brought up the subject again.

“No.” Once again, Yun Xiangxiang answered clearly.

Tao Manni felt deflated after being refused.

“Why are you guys so upset?” Yun Xiangxiang was amused.

“If you go there, he wouldn’t leave that quickly. We’ll go there right after class, and we’ll be able to see him in the flesh,” Tao Manni didn’t hide what she was thinking.

Wow, girl. That’s… surprising.

Yun Xiangxiang was too naive. She thought her roommate truly wanted her to go and spend some time with Song Mian.
