But today, he wasn’t sure if it was because Yu Jingxi had come to cause trouble, or if he truly had developed different feelings for Jian Anning.
In any case, he did not want the woman beside him, frantically photographed by the media, to be anyone other than Jian Anning! The others did not deserve it!
He neither agreed nor refuted, but simply made a call, his voice low, "I will walk the red carpet of the film festival with Jiang Xuanqi."
Then, he gestured to Jian Anning. Telling her to hand the phone to Yin Maohui.
Jian Anning was a bit surprised. However, she still took his phone and passed it to Hong Minjun, who then handed it over to Yin Maohui. Yin Maohui was somewhat bewildered and was just about to speak when Yu Jingxi’s somber voice came through the phone, "I warn you, if you dare to spread rumors with those indecent female artists again, I will send bodyguards to take you back immediately tomorrow!"
Before passing the phone, Yu Zexiao had activated the speakerphone, and at that moment, Yu Jingxi’s voice resonated throughout the cramped resting room.
Jiang Xuanqi was the first to change color! She had always been very proud. After all, although she wasn’t as famous as Yu Zexiao, she was still considered an A-list celebrity. An endorsement deal for her could easily fetch millions! But now, she was being called an "indecent female artist" by Yu Jingxi! This was like stripping off her facade completely!
But she couldn’t rebuff! Who was Yu Jingxi? The son of a provincial-level official, president of the multi-billion dollar Huanyu Group! With such a high status, even if he insulted her to her face, she couldn’t say a word in return!
And Yin Maohui was sweating profusely. When he first signed Yu Zexiao, Yu Jingxi had already made a scene. At the time, his guarantee was: to never let the young master get involved with the frivolous world of entertainment. Yu Zexiao signed for three years, and Yin Maohui truly kept his word. Any film that he was unwilling to accept, any artist he did not want to work with, any endorsement he wanted to avoid, all were rejected. This time, his idea was indeed to leverage Yu Zexiao’s fame to give Jiang Xuanqi a boost, which was why he resorted to such a strategy.
After all, they were not really dating, so that was fine.
Immediately, he smiled and replied, "Is this Mr. Yu? It’s me, Yin Maohui. Oh, please rest assured, Zexiao and Qiqi are not lovers, this is just a strategy for the company’s development."
Yu Jingxi didn’t care at all for what Yin Maohui had to say, and coldly rejected him, "There’s no strategy! My son, Yu Jingxi, cannot have his name associated with that kind of woman!"
After speaking, he hung up the phone with a firm attitude!
Wiping sweat, Yin Maohui nodded, and Hong Minjun handed the phone back to Yu Zexiao. He arched his handsome brows slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, feeling for the first time that his father, whom he loathed with every fiber of his being, had some use—
At least, at this time, he could shield him from those women with ulterior motives!
Due to Yu Jingxi’s strong expression of opinion, and as it was the year of their contract, Yu Zexiao’s performance contract was going to expire in a few months. If Yin Maohui wanted to renew Yu Zexiao’s contract, he had to get his father on board! He never mentioned the matter of Yu Zexiao attending an event with Jiang Xuanqi again.
Packing up is exhausting, I will rest tomorrow, and resume regular updates starting from the Dragon Boat Festival. Sorry!
