Chapter 1287: Chapter 1278: Low Point (Part 2)
Bo Yan immediately stepped forward.
Having been together with Xia Siyu for a long time, he certainly knew the place her mother held in her heart. Put it this way, even though he and Xia Siyu are in love right now, if she had to choose between her mother and him, she would unhesitatingly dump him and run into her mother’s arms.
She is working hard and living seriously now with the sole purpose of aligning herself with her mother. If the paparazzi exposed her scandals, she would scoff and completely ignore it. But if they exposed her mother’s scandals, that would be different. She would not accept anyone disrespecting her mother, not even a little bit.
Although in that conservative era back then, her mother was photographed by an ex-boyfriend, she was actually the victim. If it happened today, it would certainly be a sensational event, but at least the public opinion wouldn’t be so harsh. However, the misfortune lay in the fact that the incident had already been characterized back then, and the Xia Family felt ashamed, so they kept her story hidden.
It seemed like she was a celebrity, an award-winning actress, but mentioning her always led to scandals, particularly the photos she had once taken. Now, there was even talk of her being a third party. Of course, this third-party claim could be refuted. But Xia Siyu especially hated being connected with the Xia Family. If it weren’t for having Xia Youbiao’s blood running through her veins, she might have wanted to emulate Nezha’s rebellion against his father’s blood.
He knew this, so when he learned the news on the way, he didn’t have time to contact anyone and ran directly over.
He was really afraid that Xia Siyu might not be able to think rationally or act impulsively.
He approached and saw that although she was expressionless, there wasn’t much disturbance. Xia Siyu seemed to be an emotionally expressive person, but when it came to things that could affect her deeply, she became very cautious. Even he himself, having recently grown closer to Xia Siyu, had just begun to approach her inner world.
He really feared that something unexpected would happen to Xia Siyu.
However, after Xia Siyu came out, Jingjing glanced at him. Bo Yan also stepped forward and said, "I’m here. I wasn’t the one who pulled the exposé."
Xia Siyu’s eyes were calm, and her expression seemed equally composed. She glanced at Bo Yan, noticing the evident anxiety in his eyes.
To be honest, she was indeed angry yesterday about the sudden "unilateral" withdrawal of the public report. She understood that he had difficulties, but since they were already married and had prepared beforehand, couldn’t he have at least given her a heads-up when changes occurred?
At the time, she didn’t think much of it; it seemed like only the two of them were involved in this matter. If it wasn’t her, it must have been him, right?
But since Bo Yan said he wasn’t the one, she believed him.
Even if it was eventually his agency that pulled it, he probably wouldn’t have known, at least not consciously hiding it from her or making the decision alone.
However, right now, that wasn’t the most important thing.
She had indeed thought a lot just now while in the car.
Somehow, this brought her back to years ago, back to when she broke up with Bo Yan.
It was New Year’s Eve, and snow was falling heavily. She and her mother had been back in the country for three years, and she had successfully entered university. Her father wanted to take her and her mother back, after all, they had been married for many years, and she was already nineteen. Family might not have understood before, but as time passed, Wen Qunxiao had also been retired from the public eye for many years, so no one should care about her past anymore, right?
He was full of anticipation, and of course, so were Wen Qunxiao and Xia Siyu.
