Chapter 312: Contest (4)
Indeed, Qin Baizhou was the first to speak, “I know you two are living together.”
This was a declarative sentence.
Bo Yan said nothing, not even a change in expression. Did he even need to say it? Even a blind person could see that.
“I also know that you like Siyu, you want to pursue her.” He paused, then Qin Baizhou added, “I also know that you two have had relations.”
Bo Yan remained unmoved. After all, they were living together now, so it was quite normal to think that way.
And what Qin Baizhou said wasn’t wrong.
Although it had only been that one night seven years ago.
Still, Bo Yan’s composure was upsetting Qin Baizhou. Some things, he had guessed, but Bo Yan’s reaction at this moment was tantamount to admitting that he indeed had slept with Xia Siyu.
No man would feel good about this, and he was no different, but his willpower was strong enough to persuade himself.
“But I also know that right now, she does not accept your pursuit, and you two are not yet lovers.”
This statement from Qin Baizhou indeed struck a chord with Bo Yan, whose acting skills were good enough to hide the anger inside him. But he couldn’t help but ask, “So what?”
Qin Baizhou exuded confidence, “I’ve known her for seven years. Seven years ago, I discovered her by the roadside, she was stunningly beautiful. I brought her into the previous company, starting as a trainee, trained her for half a year, she filmed a movie, and became an instant hit. She’s incredibly beautiful and very perceptive, a superstar rookie from the get-go. But later, after a few years, she was maligned by the girlfriend of the man she was scandalized with, accused of being the other woman and smeared with endless scandals. Others in the entertainment industry joined in, intent on destroying her.”
“At that time, she was having a falling out with the previous company, not renewing her contract. The previous company turned a deaf ear to the scandals, allowing the situation to escalate, determined to teach her a lesson. I had just started Huixing Company and waited until her contract was up before bringing her over. But by then, her reputation had soured, and Huixing was newly established, lacking the means we have today, so we let her popularity grow from being infamous.”
Her character was strong, her spirit resilient. Despite the many who slandered and vilified her, she remained unaffected. Back then, her reputation was poor, and she lost all her endorsements, but later on, relying on the release of her film, which enjoyed decent box office returns, she managed to gradually recover. Huixing Company has also been doing better and better, finally reaching a point where we don’t have to kowtow to others, with business deals and acting roles coming to us.”
During these seven years, I’ve struggled alongside her, supporting each other, and our feelings have grown deep. She trusts me, and I’m very fond of her. If you’re just toying with her, then I hope you back off quickly; she’s not someone to be toyed with at whim. If you’re serious about pursuing her, then I’ll take you on as a challenger. I’m confident that, over these seven years, our relationship has grown strong enough not to be easily disrupted by an outsider like you.”
Bo Yan looked at him calmly, then took another sip of his water, “You say you know her well, but maybe not. I’ve known her, much earlier than you.”
“I know. You, Zhou Weiwei, and her, you’re all from N University; you must have known each other back then.”
But no matter, she had dropped out of N University. These seven years of time, it was he who had accompanied her all the way. He had witnessed her rise to this point, how could he easily give up!
“My relationship with her is much deeper than you think,” Bo Yan said with a light smile, then lifted his chin, “So have you finished what you came to say? I need to rest, please leave.”
He placed special emphasis on the word “rest.”
