Xia Siyu replied resolutely, “I don’t like him!”
Her words were so forceful and emphatic that everyone around heard them.
While everyone else looked on as if watching a joke unfold, Xia Ju’an slightly frowned and looked towards Bo Yan, but he said nothing.
Bo Yan, however, remained calm, “You heard her? She doesn’t even fancy me, so how could she possibly fancy you? Saying she seduced you is a joke! You’re ‘impotent,’ what could she possibly see in you?”
Bo Yan’s remark set off a wave of laughter. Indeed, in terms of family background, Bo Yan was not inferior. In looks and scholarly achievements, Bo Yan was clearly superior. If Xia Siyu didn’t fancy someone like Bo Yan, how could she be hopelessly enamored with someone like Li Weiyi to the point of attacking him in public?
Li Weiyi’s choice standard could even be traced back to some of the past rumors involving her.
In the entertainment industry, where rumors are often indistinguishable from truth, gossip about a female star’s private life is both the easiest and most effective way to strike at her. Even if she’s innocent, a story could be fabricated about her sleeping her way to the top, not to mention all this hype.
But when Xia Siyu clarified it herself, people might not believe her. However, when Bo Yan spoke up, the effect was entirely different.
The crowd around burst into laughter, and Xia Ju’an added insult to injury, “I thought you were looking for a urologist, but it turns out you need a neurologist too. Forget about Bo Yan, you can’t even match up to me. You have the audacity to say my sister… that we’re targeting you. You should take a good look at yourself first! What about you is worth her affection? Do you think by stirring things up, the fake can become real? In a word, if you can produce a photo that shows you and her intimately together, I’ll believe you! Or show us your WeChat conversation history with her, that would do too. Didn’t you say she was pursuing you? That you were in a relationship for a while? Surely, you have at least that much evidence, right?”
Li Weiyi’s face turned deathly pale in an instant; where would he get such evidence? The sole sneak photo of him dining with Xia Siyu was taken from an angle that deliberately cut out Zhou Weiwei. He wasn’t really dating Xia Siyu—it was all because he knew she had no backers and her public image had been poor for years. Fearing it might spoil his endorsement deal, he dared to create a scene here.
Who could have anticipated that Bo Yan and Xia Ju’an would come to her aid!
Bo Yan’s involvement was somewhat understandable, given the many rumors of their association lately, but what business was it of Xia Ju’an’s? Perhaps Xia Siyu was his new target?
It was well known that the Xia Family only consisted of the twins Ju’an and Sicai; there had never been talk of a Xia Siyu. Moreover, Xia Ju’an had no wife or girlfriend, and he and Bo Yan’s families had been close for generations.
Perhaps Bo Yan was standing up for Xia Ju’an, helping out his latest sweetheart!
After dislocating Li Weiyi’s wrist, Bo Yan couldn’t be bothered to pretend any longer and released his hand; the dislocated Li Weiyi staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, squirming helplessly like a worm because he couldn’t use one arm.
And next to him, Bo Yan looked indifferent and even elegantly took out a tissue to carelessly wipe his hand, as if touching Li Weiyi was somehow dirty.
Xia Siyu suddenly spoke up, “Have you all finished talking?”
Xia Ju’an nodded, and Bo Yan remained silent.
Xia Siyu flexed her wrist, took a glass of red wine from a tray held by an attendant, and tossed it high into the air!
