Chapter 1210: Chapter 1201: Omen (3)
“Not only did I want to hook up with you back then, I still do now.”
Tch, anyone can talk big. Xia Siyu wasn’t buying it at all. Especially lines that are ambiguously aggressive like this; they’re good for teasing innocent girls, but for a seasoned pro like her, it’s all about going for it without hesitation. As if an old hand like her would be afraid of such petty tricks?
She directly challenged, “Come on, come at me. If you can hook me, I’ll let you have your way. If you can’t, then buzz off.”
Bo Yan read her reply and choked on his drink, this time quite seriously, dropping his phone as he coughed so hard he could hardly catch his breath.
Bo Yan composed himself for a while, picked up his phone: “Who is this young heartthrob you’re talking about? Give me a name, I’ll help you check it out.”
Xia Siyu tilted her head and thought, “Seems like it was… Jiang Zhuangnai?”
Bo Yan was speechless, “Might as well call it Double-Skin Milk! No name? A photo will do.”
“Wait, I’ll take one for you.” It was quite a coincidence as Jiang Zhuangnai and his group happened to walk around the corner. Xia Siyu pulled out her phone to snap a picture and suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.
No wonder Jiang Zhuangnai looked familiar; didn’t he say his nickname was “Pudding,” a name given by his sister? Because his sister is Jiang Bumei, head of Xia Siyu’s professional haters, and has a history with her.
In fact, four years ago, when Xia Siyu went from everybody’s darling to being bombarded with scandals, Jiang Bumei played an indispensable role. At that time, her boyfriend was also an actor, and there were rumors of a romantic relationship between him and Xia Siyu. Rumors are one thing, but the scumbag took it seriously and pursued her. Of course, Xia Siyu ignored him, but his sugar mama, who was also his girlfriend, Jiang Bumei, wasn’t having it. She exposed the dirty laundry online. After that, she kept digging up and spreading dirt on her non-stop.
Xia Siyu initially debuted as the image of a “pure jade girl.” A jade girl can date, but she absolutely can’t be a “mistress.” Together with the fact that she blocked other actresses’ paths and offended many investor daddies, rumors of her being difficult, hard to work with, hooking up with rich guys, swearing, and being uncultured spread like wildfire, half-truths mixed with lies. Moreover, due to contractual issues, her former company put her on ice, she didn’t have time to respond to, let alone clarify, these scandals.
Another person might have crumbled, quit the industry, or been completely ruined. But Xia Siyu couldn’t be bothered to respond, since it wasn’t true anyway. Let them talk.
The last time Li Weiyi caught her in the bathroom and almost took inappropriate pictures, Jiang Bumei was there too, not only did she not help, but she seemed happy to watch.
This time, Jiang Zhuangnai most likely had ulterior motives aimed at her, with the script already revised, just waiting for her.
It’s a pity, Xia Siyu was no pushover, and didn’t even take these little clowns seriously. Not to sound harsh, but her brother’s looks pretty much make the prospect of super-stardom in showbiz a distant dream. Even if he goes back to the factory for more cosmetic work, he can’t come out looking like much.
Sure enough, when Jiang Bumei and Jiang Zhuangnai spotted Xia Siyu, the siblings exchanged a knowing look. Then they stepped forward, with Jiang Zhuangnai greeting first, “Hi, Sister Xia.”
Xia Siyu put her phone away, raised her chin, and didn’t spare a glance at the siblings. Hearing this, she merely gave a haughty nod. Jiang Bumei also stepped forward, “Miss Xia, long time no see.”
Clearly up to no good.
