After her post, Yiyi's account was immediately filled with messages from her fans but also several brands, sending her offers to work with her.
However, Xu Anyi scrolled through these messages without even reading them, because Yiyi never took brand agreements or sponsorships. This was also another reason why her fans loved her.
Most brands knew about this as well, but they seemed to have forgotten after five years. Xu Anyi deleted all the messages from the brands and read through her fans' messages.
She woke up quite late today and before long, it was lunchtime already.
Xu Anyi went downstairs and opened the door after receiving Si Mu's message, saying that he would be coming back during lunch to eat with her.
He entered holding two bags of food, and Xu Anyi's eyes lit up when she saw that it was all food she liked to eat.
They sat down to eat, and after eating in silence for a while, a thought popped up in Xu Anyi's mind.
She raised an eyebrow, "Si Mu. . . Do you know Yiyi?"
He looked up, meeting her gaze for a few seconds before he nodded.
Xu Anyi was surprised because she did not expect a person like Si Mu to keep up with social media celebrities, "You do?! Are you a fan?"
Si Mu looked at her, slightly confused. Then, he chuckled softly and dropped his chopsticks, replying, "Yiyi. . . Isn't that you?"
This surprised Xu Anyi even more as her mouth fell open, "How do you know?!"
No one except herself knew about her secret identity as Yiyi. How in the world did Si Mu know?!
He smiled, "I know everything about you."
Xu Anyi did not know if she should feel afraid or happy about his comment, but she was more surprised than anything at the moment.
"If you always liked modeling and clothes so much, why didn't you ever model before?"
"You know Lu Yuzhe?"
Si Mu grinned, although his eyes turned cold at the mention of that name, "I know that too."
"Well then, let me guess. You know that I was married to him before, right?"
Before Si Mu could respond, she continued her story, "Well, I was married to him for only about a year, but he was the man that I lo- liked since I was 8."
Si Mu's eyes dimmed as he listened to her words, but she continued.
"We were family friends, so we basically grew up together. We got married when I turned 20, but the marriage only lasted for 10 months and then. . . the accident happened."
Xu Anyi's voice turned heavy as her eyes were filled with anger and hatred, "Turns out, the person he liked all this time was Xia Yiwei. Why did he even marry me then?!"
She chuckled mockingly, "I should have known. . . He didn't even touch me in the one year we were married. I thought he just needed some time, I was so stupid."
Si Mu was slightly surprised at this, because this was something he did not know. However, he could not help but feel slightly relieved. At least this might make it easier for Xu Anyi to step out from her past marriage.
Xu Anyi took a deep breath, "And he knows Xia Yiwei is the one behind my parents' murder! But he wants to protect her, so my parents and I have to be their sacrificial lambs!"
She laughed, "Isn't is so dramatic? Can you even believe it?!"
Si Mu's expression was serious as he replied, "So that's why you are doing all of this, to get back to them?"
Xu Anyi nodded, "Of course! I'm not Xu Anyi if I don't take revenge for everything they did to me!"
Si Mu nodded as he looked down and then placed some food into her plate, "Eat."
Of course, if she wanted to, he could crush all of them like ants in a few seconds, but he knew that was not what she wanted. If she wanted to take revenge herself, then he would also be standing behind her, supporting her.

After eating, Xu Anyi went to Anna's because the runway show was coming up on Sunday.
When she arrived, Xiao Yu was standing outside the building already. She was wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, and looked exactly like how she did in the picture Xu Anyi had seen on her profile.
When she got off the car, Xiao Yu quickly ran over, smiling, "Hello, Ms. Xu! I am Xiao Yu, your new assistant."
Xu Anyi smiled, and she immediately found herself liking the little girl, "Hello."
The two of them began walking into the building, "Today should just be a simple rehearsal. There hopefully won't be much to do."
Xiao Yu nodded and they entered the elevator, which went up to the warehouse from last time.
When they walked in, Xu Anyi was immediately met with several workers, all inside, rushing around with clothes. There were also other models standing around, either getting measurements or already trying on the clothes.
Xiao Yu followed closely behind Xu Anyi as they walked through the clothes. Before long, Xu Anyi found Anna standing to the corner of the room, talking with another worker.
She walked over to them, and when Anna saw her, she immediately gestured her over, "You're here! I was just talking about your clothes for the show. The rack here has all of your clothes. They should match your measurements already."
Xu Anyi nodded, "Should I try them on right now?"
"Yes, start with this one. I'll be here. I just have to see your set and we should be ready for the runthrough."
Xu Anyi nodded and she entered the small divider in the corner where she could change in privacy, but she could still hear Anna talking with the worker right outside.
They seemed to not be talking about work, and she heard the worker exclaim, "I know right! Everyone is talking about her!"
She then heard Anna reply, "I love her. I can't believe she's back! If only she worked with brands. . . If I ever get to work with Yiyi, my life goals would be complete!"
Xu Anyi looked up when she heard the name Yiyi being mentioned. They were talking about Yiyi?
She grinned softly as she finished changing and stepped out, walking over to them.
Anna turned around and her eyes lit up, walking around to take a look at the dress, "It looks good. What do you think?"
"It's perfect!" The other worker exclaimed, nodding her head.
"Here, let me finish buttoning it so we can see how it would look for the actual show." There was a long line of buttons on the back of the dress where Xu Anyi couldn't reach, so she had only buttoned the one at the very top.
As Anna began buttoning them, Xu Anyi couldn't resist the urge to ask, "Anna, are you a fan of Yiyi?"
Anna looked up at her sudden question, but she nodded her head in excitement, "Yes, I'm a huge fan! You know Yiyi too?!"
Xu Anyi pressed her lips together and nodded. Yes, of course she knew Yiyi. . .
"A lot of my inspiration for my brand comes from Yiyi's outfits," Anna continued.
After she had finished buttoning it, she went to the front again, looking at her. After a few seconds, Anna raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "It looks good! Now that you mention it. . . you look kind of like Yiyi when you wear these clothes."
