Chapter 1223: Chapter 1214 Pursuit (4)
It would have been fine if she hadn’t said anything, but as soon as Xia Siyu heard this, her temper flared up, and she immediately smiled and said, “Since Director Ji put it that way, wouldn’t it be awkward if I didn’t go? Besides, how can I let Director Ji treat us? I’ll treat!”
Xia Siyu has always been free with money; she’s the kind of person who likes to spend money to buy happiness. So unless you really anger her, she generally pays out of her own pocket to treat the whole crew and guests to coffee, tea, or small gifts.
Director Ji laughed, “No way! If I say I’m treating, then I’m treating, but tonight, you must drink three glasses! No more, no less, at least three glasses!”
Unless she’s with Bo Yan, Xia Siyu always claims that she can’t handle her liquor — even with beer, she doesn’t drink more than one glass. Wei Jingjing wouldn’t allow it. She immediately replied, “Beer, beer, I really can only handle beer. Drinking more is a no-go; I still have to film tomorrow.”
“What are you afraid of? I won’t blame you even if you guys wake up late tomorrow.” Director Ji shouted, and others around joined in the ruckus.
After all, coming from an action film background, there were a bunch of stunt people in the crew who, aside from their love of fighting, really only had drinking as a hobby.
With everyone egging her on, Xia Siyu had to send a message to Bo Yan, “Our crew is having dinner later. When you get here, just go straight to our hotel and wait for me.”
She had just sent the message when Jiang Bumei next to her said, “Tonight, stay alert at the hotel. Once you’ve had a drink, you might get carried away. Just worry about paparazzi following you; if they take a few inappropriate photos, it’s all over.”
What inappropriate photos? Aren’t they just trying to corner her?
They’re currently staying at the southwest border, just a step away from the checkpoint. The area isn’t large, so the five-star hotel is the only one, and most of it is booked by their crew.
There’s a four-star hotel in town, but it’s a bit far, and coming and going would draw more attention. Isn’t Bo Yan destined to stay here too if he comes?
This Jiang sister and brother are too ruthless. They can’t relax for a single moment. Jiang Bumei is different from those paparazzi too. The paparazzi follow secretly and there aren’t many of them, but she has money and can employ a sea of people, placing several of them on each hotel floor to ensure there are no blind spots.
Xia Siyu herself isn’t afraid of being entangled in scandals, but she has to cover for Bo Yan. Even if there’s a public announcement, that’s something for them to decide together, absolutely not to be threatened by someone named Jiang.
She thought it over and sent a message to Bo Yan: “Be careful, there are people watching at the hotel. Rest in your room first. I’ll sneak over to you tonight when I get the chance.”
After sending the message, Xia Siyu didn’t even have time to return to the hotel. She only changed out of her costume, didn’t even remove her makeup, and directly followed the group to the entertainment center.
This being the border checkpoint, naturally, there was an entertainment center. The first and second floors were restaurants, the third floor had a dance hall, and above the fourth floor were KTV rooms, with foot massage and spa services.
Although there were no hotel rooms in the entertainment center itself, there was a budget chain hotel next door. Next to the hotel was a shop with a small neon sign for adult products, and an all-night snack bar, buzzing with activity.
Xia Siyu had just sat down in the restaurant when Director Ji poured her the first glass of wine. Bo Yan’s message arrived: “Plane landed.”
