Chapter 716: Chapter 713: Serial Scandal (1)
It’s strange, really, when the scandal was at its peak, this guy with glasses didn’t come over to talk. Instead, the afternoon after Xia Siyu clarified the situation, he waited at the entrance of the film set, ready to apologize with great care, “I’m sorry, I had no idea the reporters outside would make up stories. That day, you and Fei’er both visited that university, and she was at the outdoor tennis courts. There were too many people crowding around, so I had to come to the stadium. That evening, when I stopped you in front of the elevator, I intended to explain this matter to you. I just didn’t expect they would take such ambiguous photos and cause you trouble.”
Xia Siyu didn’t really want to have anything to do with him, nor did she want to be labeled with any “scandal” tags. She said directly, “If there’s news in the future, I will respond directly at the first moment.”
As the glasses guy looked at her, true to her name, Xia Siyu was straightforward, acting and speaking directly from her own perspective, never beating around the bush. Usually, for a topic , shouldn’t she also inquire about his situation and whether his girlfriend would mind?
She had no interest whatsoever in such tedious formalities, not even the most basic courtesy. She was indeed the complete opposite type from Shang Feifei.
However, being straightforward also meant that if she took a liking to someone, she would not waver, making it easy to pursue her. Unfortunately, this probe did not achieve the desired effect and only managed to startle her. Judging by Xia Siyu’s response, she had no interest in him at all.
But Xia Siyu never responded to scandals, whether they were true or false; she ignored them all. This was the first time she publicly denied one without hesitation.
The guy with glasses had an intuition that Xia Siyu might have a boyfriend now. Although her last rumored love interest was Li Weiyi, that had been proven false—it was almost a year ago.
Compared to the past when Xia Siyu seemed to change scandal partners every few months, she appeared to have quieted down a lot. She was not one to be careful of her reputation; she didn’t even rush to deny her connection with Li Weiyi at first, capitalizing on the news of their fight to stir up publicity.
Only if she truly had a boyfriend would she promptly refute any unreliable scandals.
“Is it because your boyfriend is aware, and there’s some inconvenience? If so, I’m willing to explain,” the guy with glasses decided to step back in order to advance, looking for another way to make his point.
Xia Siyu wrinkled her brow in impatience, “There’s no need.”
Her voice was unusually firm.
But she didn’t deny the assumption that she already had a boyfriend.
Ah, what a pity. If only he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have had to put on such a big show to chase Shang Feifei; maybe he could have won Xia Siyu as well.
“Hey, isn’t that Dr. Xi? Not going to the neighboring film set?”
Xia Siyu was talking with the glasses guy right at the busy entrance of the film set, deliberately making sure not to give anyone the impression she was trying to avoid suspicion. That’s why she chose this place to make things clear.
The person speaking was Han Yifan, his voice so relaxed it was clear he had caught Dr. Xi’s family in a bind.
And thanks to the glasses guy and his recent probe that blew things out of proportion, bringing things from behind the scenes to the forefront, countless onlookers began digging into his family affairs. Initially, they only found out he was a second-generation rich kid, but his family’s foundation was not so clean, with some regulatory breaches. And since his family ran a pharmaceutical company, a minor violation in that field could mean injuries, a major one—fatalities; either way, it was a big problem.
