Chapter 180: Irresistible Charm

Sang Zheng and Mother Sang exchanged a glance and both fell silent.

Sang Qiwen continued to persuade, "Mom and Dad, you can have a good rest tonight and go see Xiaojia tomorrow."

"Besides, Xiaojia certainly wouldn't want you staying up late waiting for her to come back."

This remark finally did the trick, and Sang Zheng and Mother Sang eventually agreed.

Sang Qiwen let out a sigh of relief, lowered his head, and sent a message to Sang Yijia on WeChat, telling her to come back a bit earlier tomorrow.

The trending topic on Weibo had temporarily stabilized. Meanwhile, netizens realized they had very little impression of Sang Yijia. When they went to look up her previous works, they found none at all; the only project she had ever participated in was the romance reality show currently being filmed.

[Why did I harbor such deep malice toward Sang Yijia?]

[Right, didn't she just debut this year?]

[This is so strange.]

Just then, a charity organization helping critically ill children released its latest promotional campaign, and even tagged Sang Yijia in the post. This made netizens feel quite curious, and they flocked to watch the video.

It was fine until they watched it; once they did, they realized how many good deeds Sang Yijia had done in the past.

[Oh god, I really misunderstood Sang Yijia.]

[I never expected Sang Yijia to be such a wonderful person. Her donations alone reach tens of millions, making her so much better than those celebrities who only talk and never take action.]

That entire night, the number of followers on Sang Yijia's Weibo page skyrocketed wildly, while the comments beneath her posts continuously increased.

This time, no one was scolding her anymore; the comments were filled with words of apology.

It was only after getting off the plane, turning on her phone, and reading Moya Ni’s messages that Sang Yijia learned about all this.

"Is something the matter?" Seeing that Sang Yijia had been staring down at her phone the entire time, Lu Wenchuan couldn't help but remind her, "You shouldn't look at your phone while walking."

"It's unsafe, and it's bad for your eyesight."

Sang Yijia put away her phone. "It's nothing, just checking some messages."

"I'm heading home in a bit. What about you?" Sang Yijia had just checked the time; it was only one o'clock in the morning, still relatively early, and she could sleep for a few hours after getting back.

Lu Wenchuan had already handled some company matters on the plane, but there were still plenty of tasks left unresolved. He would probably have to go back and pull an all-nighter.

"Heading to the company." But before that, Lu Wenchuan had to make sure Sang Yijia was safely home.

Sang Yijia let out an "oh," then said, "Alright then. Don't stay up too late tonight."

"Remember to rest." The storyline had completely veered off its original track now, and Sang Yijia had no idea what might happen in the future. "Get whatever sleep you can whenever you can."

"Don't push yourself."

"Alright." Lu Wenchuan agreed, though whether he would actually be able to manage it remained to be seen.

The next day, when Sang Yijia went online, she discovered that public opinion across the entire internet had undergone a heaven-shaking transformation regarding her. Especially upon seeing that numerous comments and messages were apologies, Sang Yijia felt even more surprised, and almost found it hard to believe.

Sang Yijia certainly hadn't forgotten how those netizens had spoken about her previously, but none of these matters concerned her anymore.

After glancing at a few comments, Sang Yijia exited the interface directly and got up to wash up.

She had returned immediately after getting off the plane, and her family had no idea, assuming she was still at her apartment.

At that moment, Sang Zheng and Mother Sang were stunned into silence when they saw Sang Yijia walking down the stairs into the living room.

"Mom, Dad, good morning." Sang Yijia had returned because she saw Sang Qiwen's message; otherwise, she would have preferred to go straight back to her apartment and only come over after waking up.

"Jiajia, when did you get back?" Overjoyed, Mother Sang stood up and walked straight toward Sang Yijia, inspecting her carefully from top to bottom and left to right before finally feeling relieved, though she couldn't help falling back into her usual refrain, "Jiajia, you've lost weight again."

"Is the food in the production crew really that bad?" Mother Sang's eyes were filled with heartache. "Didn't Old Chen and Sister Zhang go along with you?"

Between laughter and tears, Sang Yijia replied, "Mom, I haven't lost weight."

"Look at me, I've put on quite a bit of flesh." Sang Yijia pinched her own cheek. "See, it's all meat."

Sang Zheng gave a cough. "The child just woke up, don't trap her here talking. Hurry over and have breakfast."

"You must have gotten back very late last night. Why are you up so early today?" Sang Zheng looked at Sang Yijia with eyes full of deep affection. "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"That's right." Mother Sang pulled Sang Yijia over to sit down. "Eat your breakfast in a bit, rest for a moment, and then go back to sleep."

"Wake up and get up only after noon." Mother Sang's tone allowed for no refusal.

Having no choice, Sang Yijia replied, "Mm."

"Then I'll go back to sleep later."

---

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Not knowing Sang Yijia had returned, Mother Sang had prepared breakfast based on what she and her husband usually liked. "I didn't make your favorites this morning, but I'll cook what you like for lunch."

Sang Qiwen wasn't at all surprised when he came downstairs and saw Sang Yijia. After sending that message last night, he had known Sang Yijia would come back.

"Good morning." Sang Qiwen came over, sat down, and glanced up at Sang Yijia. Her complexion looked fine, with only faint dark circles under her eyes; after a day of rest today, she should be completely fine.

"Xiaojia, what are your plans for today?" Sang Qiwen originally wanted to say she should cancel those plans, stay in, and rest at home.

Before he could finish, however, Mother Sang shot him a glare. "Jiajia just came back, what do you want her to do?"

"She's definitely not going anywhere today or tomorrow. She needs to recover her energy at home first."

Naturally, Sang Zheng was in full agreement. "Your mother is right."

When Sang Zheng looked at Sang Qiwen again, his eyes carried a bit of disapproval.

For a moment, Sang Qiwen didn't know whether he should explain himself, but seeing Sang Yijia's secretive smile, he simply shook his head gently. "It's nothing. I originally wanted to let Jiajia rest at home anyway."

"That's more like it." Mother Sang was satisfied.

The family enjoyed a harmonious breakfast together. Sang Qiwen left for work, Mother Sang went out to buy groceries with Sang Zheng acting as the chauffeur, and Sang Yijia, having nothing to do, went upstairs to continue sleeping.

When Sang Qiangwu learned that Sang Yijia had returned, he came home at ten in the morning, only to find not a single soul in sight. Feeling rather gloomy, he stayed at home to play video games.

As soon as Sang Zheng and Mother Sang returned, they heard the loud noise and instantly grew displeased.

"Your sister is resting at home, and this is how you make a racket?" The house was fully soundproofed, but Mother Sang still worried that even the slightest sound might carry into Sang Yijia's room and disturb her rest.

Sang Qiangwu had no idea Sang Yijia was back at all. After being scolded by Mother Sang, he quickly realized his mistake and apologized.

"Mom and Dad, do you guys know yet?" Sang Qiangwu wanted to bring up something he had on his mind. "Xiaojia and Lu Wenchuan are together."

"Lu Wenchuan has also confirmed he's marrying into our family as a matrilocal husband." Sang Qiangwu blinked. "Mom and Dad, wouldn't you say this is a good thing?"

Sang Zheng's expression instantly turned cold and gloomy. "A good thing?"

"???" Sang Qiangwu couldn't understand. "Lu Wenchuan is marrying into our family. Once the whole circle finds out, doesn't that just prove how great our Xiaojia's charm is?"
