Chapter 302 - 302 What a Complicated Situation
302 What a Complicated Situation
Si Jingchuan hated Zhou Xuefang and didn’t want to be in the same scene as her.
However, his chastity was nothing compared to his boss’.
His boss was more important.
However, he must teach Xu Ni a lesson when he had time!
When Si Jingchuan left the hotel, the corridor looked calm as if nothing had happened. However, explosive news hit the headlines that very night.
#Shocking news! Si Jingchuan and Zhou Xuefang went to the same hotel together!#
#Suspected to be a real couple in The Billion Stars!#
In the photos taken by the paparazzi, Si Jingchuan and Zhou Xuefang were both covered up tightly. They were about ten minutes apart from each other as they left the same hotel room.
Si Jingchuan had covered himself up tightly, but he was so popular that his die-hard fans could recognize him just by looking at his ears.
Zhou Xuefang had covered herself up quite well too, but when she turned around at the corner of the stairs, her face was exposed. She had to do this. Otherwise, with her popularity, no one would be able to recognize her.
For a moment, the internet was almost paralyzed.
Si Jingchuan’s fans couldn’t accept Zhou Xuefang. They all claimed that they absolutely believed that their idol was innocent and were waiting for a clarification online!
Meanwhile, Zhou Xuefang’s fans could not wait to hype this up.
[ “Wow! Her first love is Si Jingchuan? So dreamy!” ]
[ “Look at his eyes, he absolutely loves her!” ]
[ Zhou Xuefang! You actually got the man I’ve been dreaming of!!” ]
There were a lot of fans waiting for them to say something on Weibo, but an hour passed and neither of them posted anything.
This was a little intriguing.
It was obvious that Si Jingchuan had no other choice. On the other hand, Zhou Xuefang’s silence was also a silent affirmation.
There were even people who went to ask Sonya because she and Zhou Xuefang had just participated in “Tonight’s Warmth” and they seemed to have a good relationship.
The reporters asked her if she knew about the matter and what she thought about it.
Sonya replied, “I’ve worked with both of them before. I like them very much.”
She didn’t seem to answer the question, but at the same time, she did.
Fu Xiaofeng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. When did he ever have any scandals? Besides, even if there was, it shouldn’t have been with Zhou Xuefang.
However, Si Jingchuan refused to answer any of his calls.
At 10 o’clock that night, Si Jingchuan’s manager still could not contact him. They immediately issued a statement to clarify that the two met at the hotel for business.
Half an hour later, Sky Entertainment also reposted the clarification.
However, because the two involved did not say anything, the netizens thought they were just trying to cover it up.
Su Ji only found out about this the next morning.
Pei Huai was drinking tea at her house.
Su Ji was furious when she saw the news. She looked at the few photos secretly taken at the hotel. When she thought of Si Jingchuan’s panicked look when he left yesterday, she stood up and called him.
When she stood up, Aunt Wu happened to be mopping the floor with her back facing her. The two of them almost bumped into each other. Pei Huai had the foresight to hold down the mop pole behind Aunt Wu. Aunt Wu only reacted when she turned around. She nodded apologetically and went to another place to mop.
As expected, Si Jingchuan didn’t answer Su Ji’s first call. He had always been a coward.
She opened WeChat, and sent him a voice message, “you don’t want to pick up? I’ll go to Zhou Xuefang.”
Within three seconds, Si Jingchuan called her.
He was smiling to cover up his trembling, “boss…so you saw the rumors about me?”
“What happened?” Su Ji immediately asked.
“Um…” Si Jingchuan hadn’t thought of a good excuse. He simply said, “actually, Zhou Xuefang is okay…
Su Ji said, “come here. I’ll wash your eyes.”
Pei Huai glanced at her and took out his phone to read the latest news.
Nine out of ten headlines were related to Si Jingchuan. He randomly clicked on one.
On the other end of the line, Si Jingchuan also felt that it was too disgusting and couldn’t continue. He said, “if I say that I was studying the script with her at the hotel, do you believe that?”
“Who are you trying to fool?” Su Ji was tough, “tell me the truth.”
Si Jingchuan: “…”
Su Ji replied, “or I’ll give Zhou Xuefang a call…”
“Hey, don’t! ” Si Jingchuan hurriedly stopped her.
Su Ji knew that he was lying when she heard silence on the other end. She said, “come to my house and look me in the eyes when you tell me what happened.”
Pei Huai looked at her again.
Over the phone, Si Jingchuan was immediately thrown into a state of discomposure by her few words. He was indeed quite annoyed by the news last night. He was also wondering if he had agreed to Zhou Xuefang’s request a little too hastily.
But at this time, he did not dare to go to the boss’ house by himself, thinking of the other person to blame for this incident…
“Okay. But Xu Ni must be there too! He’s also involved!”
“?”
Su Ji paused for a second, “alright, I’ll call him and ask him to come.”
Pei Huai looked at her for the third time.
His time alone with his girlfriend…
An hour later, Pei Huai and Su Ji sat on one side of the table, while Si Jingchuan and Xu Ni on the other.
Xu Ni arrived first, followed by Si Jingchuan, who had put in a lot of effort to avoid the paparazzi.
Si Jingchuan was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly, so he took the photos with him.
However, he only realized that CEO Pei was there when he arrived.
The courage that he had mustered up with great difficulty was suppressed again.
What a complicated situation!
Su Ji saw that he was trying to take something out with one hand, but he couldn’t. She was angry when she saw him dawdling.
She slammed the table and was about to grab his collar. Pei Huai was one step ahead of her and said, “take them out. Don’t let her do it.”
If Su Ji really wanted to, Si Jingchuan would not be able to stop her. Xu Ni, who was beside him, asked him, “what does your relationship with Zhou Xuefang have to do with me? Why am I involved?”
Si Jingchuan was being attacked from both sides. He hurriedly said, “I’ll show you…”
A minute later, Su Ji and Xu Ni’s photo appeared on the table.
Si Jingchuan looked at Pei Huai. Su Ji and Xu Ni also realized that it was them after looking at the photo for a few seconds. They also looked at Pei Huai.
Pei Huai, who was on his phone, felt their gazes. He looked up and narrowed them slightly. Then, he looked at the photos on the table…
The next second, he took all the photos and looked at them one by one. His face darkened.
Su Ji coughed and changed the topic. She looked at Si Jingchuan and asked, “so, she used these photos to threaten you? ”
Xu Ni echoed, “so, she threatened you with these photos?”
However, Si Jingchuan answered too slowly. Before he could continue, Pei Huai followed up with a question, “can someone explain to me how these photos came about?”
