Chapter 303 - 303 A Clown
303 A Clown
Regarding this matter, Su Ji and Xu Ni actually had a very reasonable explanation.
However, this was related to Xu Ni’s privacy, so Su Ji was not in a position to say it now.
Of course, Xu Ni knew that nothing would happen between him and Su Ji, but he didn’t want to say it until the last moment.
Even his grandmother and father didn’t know about this. Only his mother and an aunt who had raised him knew.
After a moment of silence.
Su Ji leaned back in her chair and avoided looking at Pei Huai “it’s on the day when I video-called you. We were talking about business.”
Pei Huai’s observation skills were very good, but he wasn’t interested in Xu Ni’s secrets.
Pei Huai looked at the photos, his thoughts were unreadable, “seems like a big business.”
Xu Ni placed his hands on his knees, “it’s true CEO Pei. It’s super big. There are only ten cigarettes in a pack, and she’s selling it for fifty thousand!”
He seemed to be complaining, and Pei Huai played along. He sounded rather shocked, “fifty thousand?”
Xu Ni nodded hard.
Then Pei Huai said, “just fifty thousand?”
Xu Ni: “…”
Pei Huai was amused. Even if he added two more zeros, Su Ji wouldn’t be that friendly to him.
The atmosphere was tense.
Si Jingchuan looked at the three people opposite him. He wanted to say a few words on behalf of his boss. However, when he detected CEO Pei’s murderous aura, he coughed and did not say a word.
“20,” Pei Huai said a few seconds later.
Su Ji raised her eyes and looked at him, “what do you mean?”
Pei Huai looked calm on the outside, and he seemed to have reached a conclusion in his heart, “still young and likes to mess around. It’s normal.”
When he spoke to Su Ji, his tone was still as gentle as ever. The people around him heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Pei Huai immediately changed his tone, “but I hope the others will be more careful in the future.”
When he said this while holding one of the photos, who the “others” were were very obvious.
Xu Ni blinked his eyes, “I’m only 18. I’m even younger!”
Pei Huai sipped his tea unhurriedly, “but you’re a man.”
Xu Ni: “…”
Anyway, Su Ji would never let Si Jingchuan suffer because of her.
She said, “you should post a statement to clarify things now before everyone ships you and Zhou Xuefang.”
“Yeah,” Xu Ni added, “you fell for a few photos, how stupid.”
Si Jingchuan was silent for a few seconds. “but the photos of you and Xu Ni will be leaked. Even if they can’t see the photos, they will know that the two of you were in the same room. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to the hotel to retrieve them…”
Su Ji replied, “we didn’t do anything. I can explain it.”
Si Jingchuan didn’t believe that she could.
He entered the entertainment industry earlier than his boss and knew how things were.
Once this kind of thing became public, there was no way to explain it clearly.
However, Xu Ni also felt that it could be explained. There was no need to tie himself to Zhou Xuefang because of this. He could reveal his secret and everything would be clear.
Pei Huai already had a solution in his heart. He would take this opportunity to disclose his relationship with Su Ji. The spearhead would be shifted immediately, and he would be less worried.
Although the three of them had their own opinions, they all had the same goal. Everyone looked at Si Jingchuan and said, “clarify it. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”
Si Jingchuan advised them to think again.
Su Ji said, “if the scandal between you and Zhou Xuefang is confirmed, you will be stained in my mind.”
Things were serious!
Si Jingchuan took out his phone, “I’ll post it!”
**
Zhou Xiuefang’s scandal exploded last night. She finally experienced the feeling of not having to spend any money to be trending.
Today, she received an impromptu job. However, the pay was good.
They didn’t have any other requests. They just asked her to talk about the interesting things that happened on set with Si Jingchuan.
This was a smart move.
She didn’t need to admit or deny their relationship. Anything related to Si Jingchuan would definitely be the hottest topic right now.
Obviously, she was already acting as Si Jingchuan’s girlfriend.
In the dressing room, a makeup artist and two assistants surrounded Zhou Xuefang.
After she was done with the eyeshadow, the two assistants whispered to each other in a low voice.
“Did you see the news?”
“Yes!”
“It just came out yesterday, and she;s here for an interview today. It seems like it’s true!”
“I didn’t pay much attention to her before. She’s quite pretty and her eyes are so big.”
“Nonsense. How can SI Jingchuan’s girlfriend be ugly?”
Zhou Xuefang heard most of it and her lips curled up into a faint smile.
She had not had any scandals before.
It was worth it to be in one with Si Jingchuan.
If she had not been forced into a corner, she would not have used this method.
She was a very virtuous person and ordinary people wouldn’t like her.
Chen Jing came to pick her up when her hair and makeup were all done.
She held her arms and treated her like she was her boss.
On the way to the recording studio, Chen Jing did not forget to report to her that she had uploaded the clip of Si Jingchuan looking at her during a scene to the internet. With a scandal behind it, the clip that she uploaded this time received a great response.
Zhou Xuefang expressed her satisfaction.
When she arrived at the studio, the host greeted her warmly. As it was just an interview, there was no need for rehearsals.
The filming location was also very simple. There were two sofas under the lights, one for the host and one for her.
Although this talk show couldn’t be compared to “Tonight’s Warmth” it received a lot of views on many online platforms.
Zhou Xuefang, with her exquisite makeup, took her seat.
During the interview, the topic was basically about Si Jingchuan. She answered the questions with ease.
She was the best at making ambiguous statements.
[ “Oh my God! Didn’t she just confirm it?” ]
[ “OMG! Is Si Jingchuan really in a relationship with Zhou Xuefang?” ]
[ “She’s so sweet! I love how low-profile and quiet she is!” ]
[ “Do we have to start calling her Mrs. Si now, do we?” ]
[ “If Si Jingchuan likes her, we the fans must accept it. What else can we do?” ]
[ “We should at least wait for his official announcement, right?” ]
[ “It’s really unnecessary. If it’s not true, would she dare to accept the interview so brazenly? If it’s not true, how can Si Jingchuan not refute the rumors?” ]
The fans were all waiting to see their responses. The ratings were bound to be good, and the chat was extremely enthusiastic.
However, at 5:15 in the afternoon, just as Zhou Xuefang’s interview was coming to an end, the situation suddenly took a turn.
[ “Wait! Si Jingchuan just updated his Weibo!” ]
In the next second, the number of viewers plummeted.
Si Jingchuan denied it.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xuefang, who had no idea what was going on, was still staring at the camera with her starry eyes…
