Chapter 2221: That Same Trick Wouldn’t Work the Second Time Around
Things didn’t go smoothly for the quartet of lovers. Xu Shishuang was indeed being bullied on the internet, but that also meant that she’d lost everything. Because of that, she was now no longer afraid of anything.
Although their original plan was decent, Ji Beiye was unfortunately such a pig teammate.
Moreover, if there was another scandal, and another scapegoat was sacrificed to divert the public’s attention, wouldn’t the public catch on?
That same trick wouldn’t work the second time around.
“Ji Beiye, you should apologize by killing yourself.” Si Nan stretched out his long legs and kicked Ji Beiye. Ji Beiye hurriedly avoided the kick.
“I didn’t want this to happen, either. How could I have known something like this would happen? If you tell me who did it, I’d kill them with my own hands,” Ji Beiye said with a grim expression.
Ji Beiye looked haggard and decadent. He had lost the fearless aura he once had.
He was now deeply involved in scandals. He wouldn’t have cared at all if he was the only one involved in this, but he had also implicated Ge Qiu. This made Ji Beiye feel terrified, more specifically, of losing Ge Qiu.
The incident had made his status freefall to the lowest level. He was becoming more and more powerless in the hidden contest between Su Qi, Si Nan, and himself.
He could even, possibly, get chased out of the group.
“Damned idiot.” Su Qi couldn’t help rubbing his eyebrows.
“Stop arguing, you all. The most important thing to do right now is to resolve the problem,” Ge Qiu quickly said when he saw the three men quarreling.
“This problem started because of me. Why don’t I just leave?” Ge Qiu asked. The recent events put a lot of pressure on him. His face was now much thinner, and his eyes were both sunken and bloodshot.
“No. In times like this, we have to be strong. Leaving wouldn’t be a good solution.” Si Nan took the lead in objecting.
The other two also didn’t want Ge Qiu to leave. If he left, what would happen to their happily sexy ever after?
Si Nan stretched out his hand and touched Ge Qiu’s head. His gaze was softly rippling as he gently said, “You don’t need to worry at all. This is our problem. The entertainment industry is like our own backyard, so we’ll handle this well. Don’t underestimate your boyfriends too much.”
“I want to do something for you all, but I can’t. I’m useless,” Ge Qiu said with his face flushed. “I can’t just rely on you all to protect me. I want to protect you too.”
Si Nan’s lips curled into a smile. He put his hand on Ge Qiu’s thigh and said, “Who said you’re useless? You’ve made us very happy.”
Ge Qiu’s face turned beet red. Si Nan grabbed Ge Qiu’s arm and pulled him into the bedroom.
Su Qi followed, and Ji Beiye hurried upstairs when he saw that Su Qi was going to do that.
However, Su Qi blocked his way. “Don’t forget your punishment. You can’t touch Ge Qiu for two months.”
Ji Beiye was so infuriated that his breathing became heavy, but it then occurred to him that he had no one to blame but himself, since he caused this situation.
Ji Beiye ended up just standing outside the door, staring straight at it. He listened to the sound coming from inside the room, which made him very restless.
His body felt very hot, but he had no way to relieve himself.
This damned tempting devil!
…
Meanwhile, the popularity of Xu Shishuang’s affairs hadn’t gone down. Ji Beiye’s fans, in particular, still trash-talked her every day.
From time to time, there’d be some negative gossip coming up about Xu Shishuang, and they’d scold her over it like they couldn’t wait for her to immediately drop dead.
This moral scum should just die.
However, Xu Shishuang went to travel around the world. She also posted selfies and photos of delicious food throughout her trip.
Xu Shishuang sighed that Rome was so beautiful, that she scoured wool on an Australian farm for a while, and that the king crab she ate was really, really delicious!
As soon as Xu Sishuang posted this, it caused the crowd to erupt in anger. Such a morally corrupt person could actually live so well.
What kind of society were they living in?
Xi Shishuang’s Weibo was full of all kinds of abusive words. People were saying that Xu Shishuang used her body in exchange for money, yet still had the face to show off her ill-begotten wealth.
