Bo Yan held Yuran’s hand, "Let’s go, baby, there’s nothing to say, we’re on different paths."
Yuran hummed in agreement, allowing Bo Yan to lead her away. Catherine watched their retreating figures with a venomous and spiteful gleam in her eyes that caused others who glanced her way to shudder inadvertently.
Such a look was not something a normal person could show.
Long after they had left the filming site, Yuran reached back to grasp Bo Yan’s fingers, "I always feel Catherine is off, she wouldn’t do anything illegal, right? For her, it seems, it’s not impossible."
This person was a complete lunatic.
She appeared normal, but the things she did were anything but thought through.
Yuran was not worried about difficulties that came head-on, but the unexpected conspiracies bothered her; she did not like these things.
Bo Yan’s eyes were very deep, and although he did not say much on the surface or show many signs, deep down, he had already considered the worst possibilities.
That night, after Yuran had finished video calling Zhizhi and gone to sleep, he picked up his phone to call Lu Xizhou, who was staying in New York. Lu Xizhou was working overtime at the office and answered Bo Yan’s call with renewed energy.
"After so long here shooting, I knew you’d need me for something. What is it, need big brother’s help?"
Bo Yan scoffed, "Use your mouth to make a call to Nick for me."
"The Nick from the Hawes Family?" Lu Xizhou asked unsurely, "What? Did Nick from the Hawes Family offend you?"
Bo Yan, "No, his sister is like a piece of clingy candy, utterly repulsive. Moreover, this time, it feels like she came prepared, and her target is still Yuran."
Bo Yan believed there was nothing he couldn’t tolerate, except for his own wife and child.
In the midst of their conversation, his eyes narrowed sinisterly, emitting a fierce aura of killing intent. Lu Xizhou, even from afar, was startled by his tone, "You suspect Catherine will move against Yuran? She’s daring with you there?"
"It’s always better to be prepared just in case."
Lu Xizhou understood, "I get it, I know what to do, wait for my news."
Meanwhile, the domestic media also began buzzing with activity.
Someone had posted about Catherine being next to Yuran’s photography studio using another very close set. The domestic netizens immediately found something to be busy with.
They climbed onto the internet, and now that "City of Temptation" had been confirmed to enter various award competitions, "Miss Rose" would never come out in this lifetime, and the purpose of Catherine going to China to film was too obvious—it was clearly for Bo Yan, which people found disgusting.
After "Miss Rose" was taken down, everyone gradually forgot about the figure of Catherine, only to find that now she had resurfaced with a presence.
Netizens let their imaginations run wild, all asking if Catherine had a screw loose, or if she had gone mad.
Catherine was harboring ulterior motives, probably plotting a chance encounter with the great movie star Bo, such shamelessness from a woman was unheard of.
If Bo Yan were interested in her, it would have happened long ago; wasn’t it obvious she had no chance? And yet, she could weave stories for so long?
Wondering what the extent of Yuran’s psychological shadow was.
By some miracle, three hours later, Yuran replied to everyone and even promoted the official blog post.
"Rest assured, I have no psychological shadows, Bo Yan never gave me the chance for them to appear."
This wave of dog food was just too much; initially, they were discussing serious matters, but with just that one sentence, the pleasant atmosphere was completely scattered.
The domestic fans of the Yuran and Bo Yan pairing still very much disliked Catherine, because when she filmed "Miss Rose" in China, she was constantly attention-seeking and causing trouble.
Annan advised Yuran’s fans to control their comments; less said was better for Yuran and Bo Yan’s reputations.
For such an unrelated person, it was just not worth it.
From that day on, Catherine’s chance encounters with them became more frequent, and even the European and American media began reporting news about how well-matched Catherine and Bo Yan were. Such news would often be suppressed as soon as it was released, completely prevented from gaining any traction.
That day, Catherine returned to her rarely-visited home and saw her brother on the phone. Without care, she walked over, interrupted his call, and snatched the phone from him to hang it up.
Nick looked at her with the eyes of a madman, "Have you lost your minds?"
Though the call wasn’t important, what if it had been a very important one? By hanging it up, did she understand the consequences?
