Chapter 1104: Chapter 1095: Truth and Lies (5)
"Where are you going?" Bo Yan saw Xia Siyu seemingly ready to head to the racetrack, thinking she might have lost her mind and was looking for someone to settle scores. He quickly followed her.
After walking a few steps, he found that Xia Siyu circled around in front and didn’t directly enter the racetrack but went around to the back.
Seeing that Xia Siyu wasn’t looking to settle scores, Bo Yan felt a bit relieved. Drinking and gambling most reveal human nature, all human greed, regret, ugliness, excitement, and irritability are magnified in these actions.
For example, when Xia Siyu drank too much, she would speak recklessly and curse at him endlessly. Luckily, she only cursed and didn’t hit, still retaining some decorum. And even when she cursed, it wasn’t too harsh, showing that despite Xia Siyu’s usually unruly behavior, her mother educated her well at home.
Gamblers, too, when pushed to their limits, will do anything. Luckily, Xia Siyu wasn’t too concerned about money matters. Even when losing money, she would howl a bit but just to vent, not truly affected personally.
Bo Yan felt a bit more at ease and relaxed his pace to follow her more casually. As they passed the middle of the racetrack, just as he wanted to walk alongside Xia Siyu, she blocked him with her arm. Surprised, Bo Yan wanted to say something, and just as he called out her name, "Siyu," Xia Siyu quickly gestured for silence with a "shh" and pointed to a place not far away:
Following the direction of her finger, Bo Yan first saw a well-built woman wearing the coat Xia Siyu had just dared not wear outside.
As far as he knew, this coat was currently only distributed in limited quantities to ambassador-level spokespersons in the Asia-Pacific region, with fewer than ten pieces in the entire region. In the Europe headquarters, only SVIP customers could get one. However, since this was a members-only club where various tycoons came for leisure, it wasn’t unusual for someone to have means to get one first.
Then, as the person turned around, her face became visible. She had been sitting in a special seat and hadn’t had a chance to put on a mask, so both Bo Yan and Xia Siyu saw her.
Oh, no wonder she was surprised. Isn’t that Li Yiru?
For the past few years, Li Yiru indeed made quite a splash with overwhelming marketing, clinging to Xia Siyu for hype, jumping from the eighteenth to the second tier. Whether it was competing with Xia Siyu for the supporting role in "Storm" or joining her in the variety show "Flowers and Grass," she always found ways to attach herself to Xia Siyu for publicity.
But Xia Siyu couldn’t be bothered with these publicity stunts, at most treating Li Yiru as a knock-off product. The entertainment industry is like this; when there’s one Xia Siyu, a bunch of "little Xia Siyus" pop up. Even if they don’t look alike, they’ll undergo surgery to resemble her, sticking around like adhesive tape, desperately clinging to fame.
But why has Li Yiru become so quiet lately? Previously, she was with Li Weiyi’s dad. But ever since their family got involved in the "group sex" scandal, not only did Li Weiyi end up in detention, but it also affected his father’s position. It’s been about six months since then, and it seems like around that time, Li Yiru had fewer resources to make frequent appearances on trending topics. The last time her name came up was during the "role-grabbing" incident between Xia Siyu and Shang Feifei, where she appeared to play the victim.
Afterward, Bo Yan’s gaze followed Li Yiru to see the man behind her.
