Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 499 - 306 Offended a big shot!

The host’s festive opening speech rang out, marking the beginning of the Spring Festival Gala.

And Xia Xing’s moment to shine came during the first opening medley.

As an esports star, he was not skilled in singing and dancing. When Pang Shen first proposed the idea to him, his initial reaction was to refuse.

Being half-baked in both singing and dancing, a gaming god famous only for his looks, he really feared he would bring down the overall quality of the Spring Festival Gala.

But then he found out that Little Tiangao was going to the border with his third brother for New Year’s, and Xia Xing suddenly thought, how awesome would it be if Little Tiangao could see her dazzling second brother in the Spring Festival Gala program?

Amid Pang Shen’s ecstatic and exaggerated expressions, Xia Xing not only accepted his proposal but also began to practice vocal music diligently. Finally, after passing several rounds of selection, he got the opportunity to appear in the opening medley.

When Xia Xing appeared on that high-tech stage in a nylon-textured, deep red suit, the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala went wild!

Although he only had a brief half-minute on camera, the flurry of on-screen comments still caused a brief lag in the live broadcast.

[Xia’s bass voice is so charming! It’s my first time hearing him sing, totally floored!]

[Folks, check out my profile picture! Xia’s side profile is just perfect!]

[A fine voice wasted in the esports industry!]

After finishing his part, Xia Xing came offstage. Despite it being the Spring Festival Gala stage, he was still nervous.

He let out a long sigh of relief; he hadn’t sung any wrong notes, and he even performed better than he did in practice.

Little Tiangao would surely be proud of him!

But at this moment in the Xia family villa, everyone was intently focused on devouring a huge plate of dumplings placed in the center of the table.

On the large curved TV screen beside the dining room, Xia Xing was energetically singing with his stunningly handsome face, but only a few Filipino maids were cheering him on.

"The guy in the red suit is quite handsome."

"Yeah, and those long legs."

"Chinese people are just so refined. Look closely, this young man somewhat resembles our Mr. Xia..."

By the time Xia Ye looked up at the TV upon hearing the conversation, Xia Xing’s part had just ended—

Xia Xian was reaching for the dumpling plate with her chopsticks: "What are you daydreaming about, Little Tiangao? If you don’t hurry, others will snatch all the dumplings."

Xia Ye came to her senses: "Oh, okay."

To be fair, all the dumplings were placed in a super-large oval dish in the middle, not divided into smaller portions, so everyone could pick as they pleased. Whether you got a jujube or a coin, or just a regular dumpling, it all depended on your luck.

Before picking a dumpling, Shen Jing silently made a wish in his heart.

He wanted a jujube!

Seeing the CEO chase Miss Xia all year had made his heart flutter, despite being a life-long single man devoted to his boss.

He also wanted romantic luck!

And the first one he bites into—

He bites straight into a hard coin!

Nearly cracked a tooth.

Shen Jing’s mental state was still stable. No matter, with his appetite, he could down 20 of them in one meal!

There was still a chance.

Then the second, the third, the Nth...

Xia Xian couldn’t help but tease: "Assistant Shen, you’re about to eat all the dumplings."

Shen Jing almost cried; all he got were coins!

"Didn’t you say there were equal amounts of coins and jujubes? Why did I get all coins? Did anyone get a jujube?"

Xia Xian shook her head, spitting out a coin from her mouth: "I got a coin too. Aren’t coins good?"

Cook, One-Eye, they all got coins too.

It really seemed like they knew they were mining for diamonds.

With his cheeks bulging from eating, Shen Jing looked toward the chef with an utterly woeful expression: "Aren’t there still some left? There should be more in the kitchen, right?"

Chef: "No, no, everything’s been served. Someone must have gotten the red..."

Halfway through speaking, the chef accidentally glanced at Xia Ye and Jiang Xuan, who had been silent for a long time...

Beside Jiang Xuan’s plate, there were about 8 or 9 jujube pits.

Next to Xia Ye were even more jujube pits piled up into a little hill, and at that moment, she was still biting into one, eyes narrowing in satisfaction as she took a bite.

Another jujube...

She didn’t like the feeling of tasting jujubes in savory dumplings, but...

The case was solved: they had found the missing jujube dumplings.

Everyone turned their eyes to the good-looking pair:...

Out of the entire plate of dumplings, all the jujubes had been accurately picked by the two of them.

Was this a sign of blossoming and bearing fruit next year?

Xia Xian gasped in disbelief.

No, no!

In the end, Shen Jing finished his Spring Festival prayer with a total of 31 coins.

Next year would be another year of striving, working hard to earn his own dowry!
