Chapter 2609: She is my kin.
The answer got him frowning in perplexity, while surprise and anger shone in his eyes.
“According to her… Yun Shishi’s a shameless sl*t who tried to seduce her boyfriend outside the bathroom while at the party that night. The entire production team, including Yun Shishi herself, knows about this. Even though she’s denying it, she can’t produce evidence to suggest her innocence. From what we see… that’s as good as… an admission of guilt!”
“That’s a load of bull!” He let out a string of expletives before saying, “This is an outright lie! Shishi isn’t that sort of woman!”
Standing next to him, the costume designer anxiously asked, “Hua Jin, do you really like her? Don’t be deceived by her appearance! Everyone is saying that the reason she managed to get her hands on so many golden resources is her resorting to the hidden rules. A loose woman like her isn’t worthy of you! You deserve better!”
“What are you driving at?!” He turned his glowing red eyes on her. He was relatively calm despite his anger.
“There are rumors about you liking Shishi, you two having intimate relations, and you both being in an underground relationship… Do you truly know her well? Ji Yan would never lie! Some people might appear pure and innocent on the surface, but who knows what really lies beneath?”
“Ji Yan…” He muttered this name through gritted teeth, then he shot the two women a fierce look. “I’m warning you: Shishi is someone very important to me. Whoever dares talk behind her back and spread false rumors about her must be prepared to face my wrath!”
He then turned around and stormed away in a hurry.
…
Meanwhile, Ji Yan was in her waiting room, touching up her makeup, when she heard storming footsteps from outside. She turned her head to the door, only to see it burst open with a bang the next second. The idol broke the door with just one kick!
“Ji Yan, you’d better come out here right now!”
Startled, she jumped off her seat and met his gaze with bewilderment.
“Hua Jin?”
Upon noticing the anger written all over his face, she took a gander at the broken wooden door. It had crack lines all across its surface. It was unimaginable how his slender body could possess such great strength!
“What are you doing?”
The woman looked at the idol warily. Somehow, she could sense the storm brewing in his bloodshot eyes.
“I heard that you’d been talking trash about Shishi to the production crew!” he spat expressionlessly. “Did you spread rumors about her being a third party?”
Surprise flashed across her face for a moment before she curled her lips into a smirk. “Rumors? Aren’t those pure facts?”
“My *ss!” the man cursed. “Gao Nan is a scumbag who doesn’t deserve her! Even if she has poor taste in men, she’ll never fall for someone like that!”
“Oh?” She kept the smile on her face as she threw out questions. “How do you know for sure? You seem to be very concerned about her affairs and feelings. Do you perhaps like her?”
Feeling utterly speechless, he took several moments to recollect himself and then told her, “We’re not in that sort of relationship you imagine us to be! She’s my kin.”
“Kin?” She lifted a brow in amusement.
“She’s the most important person to me, so I won’t allow anyone to insult her!”
“Hah! That’s interesting.”
