608 I Don’t Want Shi Xi To Be Bullied
Shi Xi turned around and saw Xie Yunzhou, whom she had not seen in a long time.
The man had just walked to her side and pulled her wrist. His tall figure and tailored suit made him look even taller and more handsome.
Even the lights favored him and happened to shine on him, making him seem like he was glowing. He was so handsome that people couldn’t take their eyes off him.
Even his appearance was perfect.
It was such a coincidence that Shi Xi wondered if he had been watching from the side just now.
And then, when someone bullied her, he would come out to help?
“What are you doing here?” Shi Xi asked.
“Then who do you hope will come?” Xie Yunzhou asked, “Hua Xuanhe?”
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Shi Xi didn’t want to argue with him. “I’ll go back first.”
“You’re not the one who should leave.” Xie Yunzhou did not let go of the girl’s wrist. His sharp eyes swept over her and landed coldly on Hua Ruoling.
Hua Ruoling’s heart trembled, and she straightened her back. “Young Master Xie, this is my banquet. It’s none of your business who I want to invite, right?”
“This is Xie family’s hotel,” Xie Yunzhou chuckled. “It’s fine if I tell you to get out, right?”
Hua Ruoling’s face turned red and white. “You!”
“What’s wrong?” Hua Xuanhe rushed over and saw Hua Ruoling on the verge of tears. “Who bullied you?”
Hua Ruoling looked at Xie Yunzhou, then at Shi Xi.
“Shi Xi is my female companion. If you don’t want to invite her, I’ll take her away.” Hua Xuanhe’s brows furrowed slightly.
He was the one who had brought Shi Xi here, and he didn’t want her to be bullied.
When Hua Ruoling saw that everyone was defending Shi Xi, she dug her nails into her palms and forced a smile. “Since she’s Brother’s female companion, then she can stay.”
When Xie Yunzhou saw Hua Xuanhe coming over, he felt annoyed. He pulled Shi Xi and said, “Let’s go.”
Shi Xi did not expect Xie Yunzhou to leave so suddenly. She staggered and almost fell.
Ah, no!
She still hadn’t heard the news from Hua Xuanhe!
But Xie Yunzhou had already led her out of the hall.
“Hey! Xie Yunzhou!” Shi Xi flung his hand away. “What are you trying to do?”
“I should be the one asking you that, right? What are you trying to do?” Xie Yunzhou stared at Shi Xi, his eyes cold as ice.
Shi Xi was annoyed, but she still explained patiently, “There’s a problem with the movie’s release. I’m trying to solve it.”
Xie Yunzhou’s eyes were deep. “How do you want to solve this?”
“Find the person who did the review and ask if there’s a problem. Do they want money or something else…”
“You’re looking for Hua Xuanhe, but didn’t you think of looking for me?” Xie Yunzhou interrupted.
Shi Xi glanced at Xie Yunzhou, then quickly looked away.
She knew that Xie Yunzhou was from Yanjing.
But she didn’t want to ask Xie Yunzhou for help.
“We’re friends. Hua Xuanhe and I are friends too. It doesn’t matter who I ask for help from, it’s the same,” Shi Xi said.
“The same?” Xie Yunzhou laughed in exasperation. “Are Hua Xuanhe and I the same in your heart?”
Shi Xi took a step back and said nonchalantly, “More or less, we’re just ordinary friends.”
Xie Yunzhou was heartbroken. “I’ve known you for so long, but how many times have you met Hua Xuanhe?”
There was a faint smile in Shi Xi’s eyes. “Have you ever heard of an idiom? White hair as new, old as old?”
“In other words, some people have known each other for a long time, but they are unfamiliar as if they had just met each other. Some people just met for the first time and feel like old friends at first sight.”
“Xie Yunzhou, we’ve known each other for so long, but I don’t think I know you at all.”
“The time I spent with you is far less than the time I spent with Hua Xuanhe.”
