Chapter 1229: Chapter 1220: Game Within a Game (4)
Over the past year, Xia Siyu has indeed changed her previous attitude of never responding to scandals, clarifying several.
Regarding Li Weiyi, Shang Feifei’s ex and current partners, and Xia Ju’an, she didn’t say it outright but brushed it off, saying “the rumors are false.” Looking back further, she also mentioned in interviews that she “doesn’t want to marry into a wealthy family, being a rich wife is too miserable,” indirectly proving the news of her “clinging to a wealthy man” is false.
Now, it’s even better, she wants to deny even her first scandal from three years ago.
After her denial, Jiang Bumei’s ex-boyfriend, the celebrity rumored with her, also came to ride the wave. Anyway, since he broke up with Jiang Bumei, he doesn’t care, just expressing his support for Xia Siyu: “Siyu isn’t that kind of person!”
And very cheekily bought himself a trending topic too.
Some bloggers even dug up all Xia Siyu’s rumored partners over the years, preparing to verify each one. Then, with the airing of “Everyone Loves to Roast”, a group of people rushed to watch this variety show, where Xia Siyu still acted very “generously” and let people roast her, not getting mad even when asked tough questions, arrogantly saying, “I’m a big star,” “I’m too popular!”
With a helpless yet proud little look of being persecuted.
Of course, some casual fans who like her turned into loyal fans, those who dislike her still hate her, but after just a few days of buzz, every little move of Xia Siyu indeed received a lot of attention. As an actor, you first need to have work as a foundation, with work comes confidence, and given her controversial popularity, it’s hard not to shine. The timing of “Everyone Loves to Roast” was perfect, soon, the program “I Really Want to Fall in Love with You” aired, focusing mainly on her.
The buzz lasted on and off for over a week, career fans are still anticipating her work in the director’s “The Catch,” and now this show, as well as “Spring Light” with Bo Yan, feeling like it’s a holiday.
Some Xia Siyu fans even dug up Jiang Jiahe, ruthlessly mocking him as a resource hog, ugly, relying on his sister and family to bully others. The fans’ mouths were trained from long-term skirmishes with Bo Yan’s fans, speaking at length without a single dirty word but cursing your ancestors for eighteen generations.
Jiang Bumei also has a Weibo, which fans dug up, along with her accounts on other platforms, bombarding her family with direct messages. Jiang Bumei couldn’t handle it, grew several wrinkles from anger. She even received warnings from her parents and company executives, called back from the set, got a severe scolding. Xia Siyu was an artist they paid twenty million in salary to film, and she stirred up such an incident, is she trying to ruin the movie? The several billion investments washed away, whether Jiang Bumei was their daughter or even if she were his mother, they’d be furious.
The bustling commotion lasted a week, everyone participated.
However, the one who didn’t participate was the person at the center of the storm: Xia Siyu.
She really was drunk at the time, completely passed out. When Jiang Bumei broke in with people, she was completely unaware, sleeping peacefully. Later, at the police station, she was still asleep, with Wei Jingjing and Little Tang acting as her managers to make reports, and the subsequent Weibo posts and legal statements were all handled by Qin Baizhou with the legal and PR team.
What no one knew was that after everyone left, Bo Yan came out of the private room’s bathroom, carried the drunken Xia Siyu away.
