Chapter 1259: Chapter 1250: Relationship Exposed (Part 4)
Qin Baizhou stood next to them, not saying a word. Since they only contacted Bo Yan, it would just make him bleed, what did it have to do with him or Huixing?
Bo Yan didn’t really have any ideas; he was just watching Xia Siyu.
Whether to go public, it was all up to her.
Xia Siyu also looked at Bo Yan. Although she was mentally prepared, this sudden event still left her a bit dazed.
She was indeed concerned about her job, her family matters, and Bo Yan’s money—when she spent the New Year with him at home, she overheard Bo Yan and Han Yifan discussing company arrangements. Film investment is a money-burning profession; millions or billions spent in the blink of an eye. Often, even after throwing stones, you wouldn’t hear a sound. Even if money is made, returns are slow, from the early stages of project approval to production, release, and finally revenue sharing, potentially taking several years.
Back then, Bo Yan joked that if he ran out of money, would Xia Siyu support him. Xia Siyu laughed and nodded. But she never thought that this day might come so soon.
Whether choosing to not go public and “pay a huge ransom,” or going public and seeing Bo Yan’s fan base plummet along with his income, either way, a significant amount of money loss was unavoidable.
Although Bo Yan seemed indifferent to being behind the scenes, Xia Siyu couldn’t bear to let him go through what she did three years ago. Overnight, she was insulted, angry, accused, and trampled by the fans who once liked her. Those who once praised her and supported her all turned against her with vile words. Many of her core fans deserted her during that time.
She understood, when a persona collapses, the house crumbles. For a top female celebrity, being in a relationship isn’t a crime; a collapsing persona is the greatest offense. For male artists, falling in love is an even greater sin.
“If you… don’t want to go public, I agree.”
When Xia Siyu said this, Qin Baizhou, who was watching the drama unfold, slightly narrowed his gaze.
He originally didn’t think Xia Siyu valued this relationship much; weren’t they together because of an arranged relationship through family connections? Even though they had met each other’s parents, could there be any genuine feelings?
With Bo Yan’s silence just now, he even thought this jerk was unwilling to face the consequences or give her a status, intending to quietly appease her and cover up the matter. He even wanted to sarcastically comment: Look, Bo Yan doesn’t like you much either. He doesn’t even want to acknowledge you as his girlfriend.
In the end, it was Xia Siyu who was willing to swallow her pride for him! Did she love him so much? Has she even become unlike herself?
But Bo Yan wasn’t surprised; they had talked about this many times before. Xia Siyu always expressed her reluctance to go public. Love would only slow her down in her career pursuits. She was focused on her career, single-mindedly chasing success. “How can I have a family when the Huns are not yet eradicated?”
He also nodded: “Okay. If that’s how you feel, I’ll make it happen.”
The other side wasn’t unreasonable; everyone was mixing in the same circle. Paying a ransom meant they could be peaceful for some time.
But as he nodded, Qin Baizhou couldn’t hold back. As Bo Yan turned his head, he rushed forward and punched him directly!
Bo Yan saw the punch coming and didn’t dodge. A heavy punch landed directly on Bo Yan’s face, causing him to stagger back a few steps and hit the wall. “Bo Yan, are you even human?”
