When the award ceremony ended, the amazing personal assistant got ahead of the paparazzi and dragged Xia Siyu into the huge van.
After closing the door, Wei Jingjing exploded and hurled a series of complaints at Xia Siyu. “Sister Xia, my dear sister! I beg you to think before speaking next time! Don’t you know how notorious you are now? You can criticize anyone but Bo Yan. He is the most popular man in the entertainment circle, with numerous awards and a copious viewership. If you offend him, his fans will kill you! If he asks for it, your screen time can be reduced by 80 percent!”
“Does he dare to do this?” Xia Siyu’s eyes widened. Her face was full of dissatisfaction.
“Of course! He has top-notch contacts in the entertainment circle. Even if he doesn’t care about what you said, your determination to cut working relationships with him would close multiple doors of opportunities! The investors have two options to choose—you or him!”
Xia Siyu kept her mouth shut. She knew that her assistant’s words were the truth, no matter how ugly they were.
Wei Jingjing touched her heart as she felt difficulties breathing. “Sister, you last created trouble just a few days ago. Can’t you be obedient for some days? You injured the wealthy son of Zhong Tian Corporation on the street. They want to sue you for malice! If not for Brother Qin’s pacifying tactics, I would’ve been visiting you at the police station now!”
As the topic of conversation shifted to this, Xia Siyu lifted her chin. “That’s because he deserved to be punched! He cheated and had multiple sexual partners! Why does Zhou Weiwei deserve his atrocious treatment?”
“Even if you wanted to punch him, couldn’t you pick a better place?” Wei Jingjing said, “You knew that the paparazzi were nearby, so couldn’t you change a place to launch your punches? Also, why did you have to punch his face? Your heels are bound to leave behind blood marks! You can’t shirk your responsibility!”
Xia Siyu nodded. “Okay, I have learned a lesson. Next time, I shall punch someone in a secluded place, especially in small alleys. I shall also hit them anywhere but in the face.”
Wei Jingjing got more and more agitated as she spoke. “Moreover, Zhou Weiwei doesn’t dare to open up about their relationship, so how is this your business? I heard she’s preparing to enter the entertainment circle and is relying on your notoriety to spiral herself to fame.”
“Zhou Weiwei is different from me. Her public persona is that of an innocuous and intellectual lady. Besides, she has a contract with her management company. If her relationship is exposed, she would have to pay a large amount of money. We have known each other for a long time, and she’s not the kind of person to harm me.” Xia Siyu knew she was losing the logical argument, and her voice gradually softened.
“She’s not, then am I?” Wei Jingjing leaned on the backrest of the seat and breathed heavily. “Sister Xia, Brother Qin went overseas yesterday. Can you give me a peace of mind during these two days of relief? I don’t have Brother Qin’s ability to protect you if anything happens. If you want to get into any trouble, can you do so when he’s back? I want to live for a few more years.”
A moment of silence descended in the van. After a while, the chauffeur, Xiao Tang, gave Xia Siyu a bottle of water, which she offered to Wei Jingjing. “You must have been thirsty after the lengthy speech!”
Wei Jingjing was initially angered and depressed, but Xia Siyu’s act cracked her up. She accepted the gesture.
When turning the cap of the bottle, Wei Jingjing suddenly thought of something. “Bo Yan and you do not have any personal feuds right? Although you have a fiery temper, you don’t burst out unreasonably. But just now…”
