Chapter 721: Chapter 718: Serial Scandal (6)
“Sure, I’ll go now,” Xia Ju’an nodded and immediately turned to leave.
Although he didn’t know where Xia Siyu was filming, a simple search for her recent scandalous news would reveal the location of the hotel involved in the rumors with the Glasses Guy. Xia Ju’an booked a ticket and flew there first thing Saturday morning. He decided to stay in that hotel, waiting for an opportunity.
It wasn’t until ten in the evening that Xia Siyu returned, dragging her tired feet. She was accompanied back by two crew members, which naturally included Shang Feifei, Glasses Guy, and Han Yifan.
Shang Feifei had met Xia Ju’an once before but hadn’t interacted with him, only knowing he was another rich young master, not connecting him to Xia Siyu’s brother. Han Yifan definitely knew him, but they weren’t close, he just greeted him.
Shang Feifei didn’t like Han Yifan much. Han Yifan wanted to get close but didn’t dare, so he just followed Xia Siyu. The two seemed to have a particularly close relationship. Xia Ju’an, dressed in black casual wear, managed to give off an air of formality as though he wore a suit. He looked directly at Xia Siyu and said softly, “I need to speak with you.”
Xia Siyu’s identity as a member of the Xia Family was hidden, even her talent agency didn’t know about her family situation, and it was only when Qin Baizhou recently investigated that he learned about her family.
Wei Jingjing looked at Xia Siyu and then at Xia Ju’an. This man also seemed affluent, exuding more confidence than the frivolous types like Glasses Guy or Han Yifan, clearly someone with genuine talents who had risen to an executive position. Xia Ju’an bore a resemblance to Madam Tong, while Xia Siyu more closely resembled Wen Qunxiao. Although they were siblings, they didn’t look much alike. Wei Jingjing hadn’t realized it at first glance.
Afterward, she saw Xia Siyu nod her head, not explaining her relationship with Xia Ju’an, but turned back to say, “Same time tomorrow, and if I don’t wake up, just call me.”
Wei Jingjing nodded, watching somewhat dazed as Xia Siyu and Xia Ju’an stepped into the elevator together.
It was only after they were gone that she remembered to take pictures to show to Qin Ge.
The people behind were startled. Glasses Guy thought that must be the man behind Xia Siyu. He indeed looked somewhat significant, no wonder she was so self-assured.
He also suspected that after his “scandal” broke out and netizens immediately began a “thorough investigation” against him and his family, it might have been Xia Siyu’s man causing trouble behind the scenes.
Shang Feifei was somewhat perplexed, but she turned to look at Han Yifan. Since he was Bo Yan’s close friend, if he acted impulsively, it would mean there was definitely a secretive relationship between Xia Siyu and this man. Yet, Han Yifan’s expression was calm, showing no sign of surprise.
Although still unsure of their relationship, she felt slightly relieved and turned back calmly, instructing, “Get some rest early, we still have a shoot tomorrow.”
The group behind almost craned their necks, wanting to peer into the elevator to see the truth. But there was nothing else they could do but nod and say, “Okay.”
As soon as Xia Ju’an got upstairs, he followed Xia Siyu to her room. Walking in, he didn’t speak but immediately checked the shoe cabinet at the entrance—hmm, no men’s shoes. Then he turned to the restroom, glanced at the array of cosmetics—hmm, no men’s products. Finally, he turned to inspect the room. Although it was a double room, it was evident that only one pillow was in use—hmm, she wasn’t sharing with anyone.
