Chapter 1279: Chapter 1270: Going Public (6)
Xia Siyu was so exasperated that she laughed.
The news was retracted, and they’re still asking her for money? She wasn’t sure how it was retracted, but she glanced at Qin Baizhou, and Qin Baizhou looked surprised too. So it definitely wasn’t Qin Baizhou, or rather, it was Huixing Company that paid for it.
If it wasn’t him, it must have been Bo Yan’s side.
Even though they had agreed to go public, and even took pictures of their marriage certificate. But at this crucial moment, Bo Yan suppressed the matter again, which made her a little unhappy.
In any case, Bo Yan doesn’t want to affect his career, and she cares about everything he worked hard to achieve, but they are a couple, and they had discussed the strategy together before, now he’s changing his mind at the last minute. It’s fine to change, but can’t he contact her first?
Qin Baizhou quickly sensed it too, he asked, "Did he suppress it on that side?"
They were still filming the variety show, with location shooting scheduled for tomorrow, so they came back early today to rest. It has been drizzling for the past few days, but the rain wasn’t heavy. Boating on a swollen river and climbing the lush hills could still be enjoyable.
He and Xia Siyu were in the same suite, with Xia Siyu on the left and Qin Baizhou on the right. Since it was for rest, they used clothes to cover the cameras and removed the microphones. After all, this kind of thing shouldn’t be caught by the show crew.
When Qin Baizhou said this, he was partly instigating. He knew Xia Siyu’s nature—she didn’t like others doing things behind her back. Even if it was beneficial to her, she preferred everyone to speak clearly.
Sure enough, Xia Siyu was slightly provoked and then calmly shook her head, "Since the previous news was withdrawn, it must mean someone applied pressure, or else why hasn’t it been released yet?"
She analyzed rationally, "This matter doesn’t really affect me. I’ve always been surrounded by scandals, and going public would boost my popularity, but I’d also be torn apart by his fans. If we don’t go public, everything stays the same, no loss. But it’s different for him, going public would cause a huge backlash, and he’d lose quite a few endorsements and deals. Although he’s strong, and can rely on his acting skills to bounce back without fan support, there would still be some loss."
"But isn’t it a bit too much for him to act on his own without telling you?"
Xia Siyu shook her head, "Maybe it wasn’t him, maybe his agency paid for it. But, there’s really no difference."
Qin Baizhou asked, "Those paparazzi still asking you for money... should we..."
Although Xia Siyu defended Bo Yan rationally, she still felt a bit upset. But Bo Yan was her man, so she’d maintain his dignity in front of Qin Baizhou. As for those paparazzi, she was ready to vent her frustration: "Let them go to hell!"
After saying this, she turned directly towards her room. After taking a couple of steps, she turned back: "Where’s my phone?"
Qin Baizhou handed her the phone, and Xia Siyu quickly typed in the input box: "Tell those people: ’Go as far away as you can! I won’t give them a single cent, let them give up!’ Remember, send it exactly as I said!"
Afterward, she shoved the phone back into Qin Baizhou’s hand, stomped into the room in her high heels, and slammed the door shut.
She leaned against the door, catching her breath, just as she was preparing to go in, she heard Bo Yan calling her.
