Chapter 360: Chapter 360 - Career at Its Zenith _1

Xia Qingtian felt disoriented after hearing Xia Guohua’s words for a long time.

She had never expected her origin to be such.

Xia Guohua, in revealing the truth he had been trying to hide, seemed to age a decade in an instant.

"If you don’t want to recognize me as your father anymore, I won’t blame you," he said with a bitter smile, "after all, I was never truly your father. I essentially stole the role."

Xia Qingtian snapped back to reality upon hearing these words.

She looked at Xia Guohua solemnly. "Even though we’re not linked by blood, the care you exhibited towards me when I was young was genuine. Although we had become estranged due to the issues with the company, it could not erase the kindness you had once shown me."

"You are my father. Always will be."

Xia Guohua, a grown man, felt his eyes well up with tears at her words. "And you will always be my daughter."

After quelling their emotions, Xia Qingtian inquired, "Over the years, has anyone ever sought after my mother?"

"No," Xia Guohua replied.

Xia Qingtian speculated that perhaps her mother was an orphan with no relatives left alive.

Or there could have been some irreconcilable issues between them.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have lost contact for so many years.

"Now that I know about this, I’ll go ahead and get the testing done. If we’re a match, I’ll stick to the original plan and donate part of my liver to you," she decided.

She had calmed down by this time and reassured Xia Guohua, "If we turn out to be incompatible, don’t worry. We can seek another suitable liver donor. I won’t let you die."

"Alright, I believe you," Xia Guohua said emotionally, nodding his head.

After clearing the misunderstanding, Xia Qingtian left the ward.

Bo Jingyan was waiting for her outside. Seeing her emerge, he asked, "So? Is everything settled?"

As she and Jingyan were husband and wife, she didn’t plan to keep anything from him. She told him the truth about her birth.

"He didn’t agree to the plan at first, likely because he knew that our liver types might not match, and he hadn’t decided to reveal my true heritage to me. It wasn’t until I pressed him hard that he finally told me the truth."

By this point in their conversation, they had arrived at the doctor’s office.

Xia Qingtian informed the doctor that Xia Guohua had agreed to the operation but her liver type might not be compatible with his.

As she’d predicted, the test confirmed that her liver was indeed not a match for Xia Guohua’s.

Upon learning this, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.

Jingyan, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he knew that the liver could regenerate and wouldn’t cause Qingtian significant harm,

he still found it difficult to see her suffer. No match meant she would no longer need to donate part of her liver.

However, seeing Qingtian’s disappointment, he refrained from showing his relief and comforted her instead, "Don’t worry, there are plenty of people out there. We’ll find a compatible liver donor."

"Okay." Xia Qingtian nodded.

She also realized that this matter couldn’t be rushed. Finding a compatible liver wasn’t an easy task. They could only take it step by step.

Fortunately, Xia Guohua’s condition was not too serious, and he could afford to wait for some time.

The task of finding a suitable liver donor was entrusted to the hospital and Jingyan.

Due to Cheng Bingbing’s soaring popularity, Xia Qingtian became even busier, and she had little time to visit the hospital.

Thankfully, her efforts weren’t in vain.

Thanks to their relentless promotions, Bingbing’s popularity continued to rise.

The fashion brand Lanyue, which she had previously endorsed, capitalized on her increasing fame by releasing her advertisements.

The brand’s sales skyrocketed immediately, becoming the best-selling product of the month and surpassing the sales of the number one fashion brand, A&G, by a considerable margin.

A&G, which had been in first place, was the same brand that had nearly signed Bingbing. But due to interference from Bo Jingyan’s mother, it had switched to Shi Qian at the last minute.

Seeing its own sales figures surpassed and even its leading brand position threatened, A&G was thrown into a panic.

They promptly released the advertisements featuring Shi Qian.

However, Shi Qian was still a newcomer in the entertainment industry, and her role in the palace drama as the second female lead only offered her limited screen time.

Her highlighted scenes mostly appeared in the middle and later stages of the drama, and she was far from rivaling Bingbing’s prominence.

As a result, Lanyue, endorsed by Bingbing, gained the upper hand over A&G, endorsed by Shi Qian, giving the latter brand a major setback.

A&G’s maneuver ended up making them a laughing stock in the industry.

It even impacted Shi Qian, depreciating her commercial value.

Several potential projects that had been under negotiation fell through. Even with Bo Jingyan’s mother stepping in, they couldn’t reverse the downward trend.

On the contrary, Bingbing’s commercial value surged.

Nowadays, Xia Qingtian and Bingbing were thriving. They were overjoyed with their successful turn of events.

When the weekend arrived, Bingbing was invited by Lanyue to support their brand in the biggest mall in A City.

There was a huge crowd that day. The mall was packed to the brim.

Among the crowd were many of Bingbing’s fans, holding up lightboards bearing her name and photograph.

Bingbing, somewhat nervous, clutched Qingtian’s hand. "Sister Qingtian, I’m so nervous. I think I’ve really made it big."

Upon seeing her like this, Qingtian couldn’t help but be torn between crying and laughing.

"You’ve been famous for a while now, don’t you know?" she reminded her. "If you weren’t, would you be getting so many scripts and endorsements?"

Bingbing smiled shyly at this, showing her embarrassment. "I didn’t feel it was real until I saw all these people and my fans today."

Qingtian told her seriously, "You’re going to be even more famous, so you’d better start getting used to it."

"Yes, yes, yes," Bingbing nodded and smiled, her face radiating happiness.

As Qingtian watched her, she was momentarily distracted.

Bingbing had been blessed with a unique beauty. Even after spending a lot of time in close contact with her, Qingtian still found herself in awe of Bingbing’s stunning looks.

Her beauty was a strong visual shock. No wonder she was so popular.

Soon, it was Bingbing’s turn to enter the stage to promote the product.

Qingtian remained backstage with the staff to watch the event.

Bingbing was visibly nervous, but she maintained an air of grace and charisma.

Upon seeing this, Qingtian couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.

As Qingtian was totally absorbed in watching Bingbing, the mall’s manager suddenly approached her with some issues about the event, wanting to discuss them with her.

Qingtian found this odd. Anything involving the event should have been discussed with the Lanyue representative. She was just a talent manager.

Nevertheless, in order not to disrupt Bingbing’s first product endorsement event, she followed the manager to his office.

The manager discussed a few minor issues with her and then let her leave.
