“Jing Xi, congratulations,” Ma Haodong said.
He’d already changed into a blazer which intensified his attractive bad-boy looks.
Xu Xiyan high-fived him and said, “Congratulations to you, too.”
“Don’t forget to dress handsome tonight,” Ma Haodong said.
“Back to you, don’t forget to be pretty tonight,” Xu Xiyan smiled.
…
The Imperial Hotel, 8 p.m.
The crews were having a huge dinner party in the hotel, sponsored by big companies such as Yunhai Entertainment. The party was as crowded as an award ceremony could be.
All of the actors and the director were present at the party, while other famous celebrities and reporters were also invited as they tried to promote the show.
The party began with a speech from the sponsors and director.
The actors were introduced onto the stage after that. The first to be introduced was Mu Qian, the lead actor of the show, nicknamed “Senior.”
The next to go onto the stage was the female lead, Xu Xiyan, wearing a black nightdress, different from her character in the show.
Everyone was attracted to her as soon as she got onto the stage. It was as if she was a shining black pearl.
Xu Xiyan sat beside the male lead, and they began the interview.
Most of the questions were about Xu Xiyan, about how a newcomer like she got the fame of an A-list actress.
Yet, one of the reporters went straight in with the scandal that was spread online.
“Jing Xi, we saw the scandal online about you spending a night with someone five years ago, is it true?” the reporter asked. “Can we know who that person was?”
“…” Xu Xiyan was stunned as she could not believe the incident that happened five years ago had been made public.
Is it Chu Yuhe? Or Xu Xinrou? There’s no way Chu Yuhe could contact someone outside, so that just leaves Xu Xinrou, right?
Just as Xu Xiyan was wondering how to answer the question, Huo Jingtang came into the hall with his assistant carrying a bundle of 99 roses in his hands.
Huo Jingtang sat in the place that was reserved for him as the assistant went onto the stage and handed Xu Xiyan the roses.
“Miss Jing Xi, this is from our boss.”
Huo Jingtang’s assistant shoved the roses to Xu Xiyan and left the stage instantly, yet the reporters were able to capture the moment,
Every person who had seen the news was eager to find out about the man in the scandal. It was as if Huo Jingtang was telling the whole world that he was the one who had spent the night with Xu Xiyan five years ago with his sudden appearance.
Even some of the reporters ran down the stage to interview Huo Jingtang about the scandal.
Xu Xiyan was completely out of sync with everything that was happening. She had not had the time to check the news on her way to the hotel and had no idea what was happening in the online world.
She was confused by Huo Jingtang’s sudden appearance and his motive.
Could it be that he’s trying to tear us apart again?
Xu Xiyan looked at where Huo Jingtang was sitting and noticed that he was looking back at her, and his eyes were smiling.
