Xiao Si understood that these people all thought there was something going on between Luosang and himself, but he didn’t bother to explain. If he told them that it was actually Nian Junting who was with Luosang now, Nian Junting might get embarrassed, and that would be even worse.
“Forget it. I’m not in the mood. You guys have fun,” he said.
Then he walked away with long strides.
“Damn,” cursed Zhou Yanfeng.
“I’ll call another friend.” Kashiwa felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was the one who arranged this mahjong party. “Jingxi, what do you say?”
Yi Jingxi only lowered his head to smoke. Among the coiling smoke, his face was barely visible.
…
In the parking lot, Xiao Si walked out of the elevator, took out his phone, and found Nian Junting’s number. However, he wasn’t sure about how to tell Nian Junting about what he just saw.
He and Nian Junting never said a good thing about each other, yet he knew Nian Junting the best. For Luosang, Nian Junting had even been learning about sweet talk skills and constellation knowledge recently. Xiao Si hadn’t seen him take any girl so serious for a long time.
“Mr. Xiao…” Luosang showed up, blocked his way, and looked at him in the eyes.
“Can we talk?” she asked.
“About what?” Xiao Si pulled a long face and gave a cold smile, then responded with, “Luosang, you’re so good at pretending. This time, Tingting and I were really wrong.”
Even though Luosang knew that Xiao Si had misunderstood her, she still felt awfully embarrassed when hearing his words.
“It’s not what you think…” she explained.
“I saw you lying on Yi Jingxi’s laps with my own eyes. Do you have any sense of shame? So many people were looking at you. How on earth could Tingting be with someone like you? I should have never supported him on this.”
The more he talked, the angrier he got.
“Working as housekeeper/carer; this is how you hook up with men, am I right?”
“Before you came in, Yi Jingxi dragged me forward, so I fell on his lap. You can ask the others on the scene if you want…”
“How convenient. Why didn’t you fall anywhere else? Besides, if you are wronged as you claimed, why did Yi Jingxi do that to you? You just a student after all.”
Luosang closed her eyes and gave a bitter smile.
“Out of words, eh?” Xiao Si warned her with a cold voice, “Stay away from Tingting. Don’t ever let me see you try to get close to him, or…”
“Yi Jingxi was my fiance,” said Luosang abruptly.
Hearing that, Xiao Si choked on his words.
Luosang helplessly curved her pale lips and said, “He hates me very much. Back in An City, here in Xia City, he’s been trying anything he can to destroy me.”
“That’s impossible. Everyone knows that Yi Jingxi’s girlfriend is Zhong Yi. I’ve heard about his fiancee, but that was years ago. I thought that girl’s family name was Xu…”
“My name is Xu Luosang.” Luosang interrupted him and said, “My father is Xu Zhengxuan, who used to own Xu Pictures. He went to prison for molesting his student, then I left An City and changed my family name to Luo.”
Xiao Si was stunned. He rubbed his short hair, spending quite a while to process what he had heard.
“So, you’ve been hiding your family name, because you are the daughter of Xu Zhengxuan, the famous molester…”
“My father didn’t do that. Yi Jingxi framed him. Well, you may not believe me,” she said blandly, “I didn’t want you to tell you all of this. But… I don’t want Nian Junting to think I am a shameless, nasty woman. I’m here tonight because of the online series that I worked on earlier. Yi Jingxi found out about the online series, so he pulled a few strings to stop it from airing. The few directors have put everything they have in the online series. They were all nice to me during work. I can’t bear to watch them lose everything, so I came here to beg Yi Jingxi. He said that as long as I work for Zhong Yi as her assistant, he’ll consider letting the online series to pass the censorship.”
