There weren’t many celebrities left that had the wits to stand their ground like Xu Xiyan had.

As the press release was coming to an end, Xiao Yuqian took over the mic and said, “I guess everyone has had their fill. Jing Xi, is there anything you would like to add?”

Xiao Yuqian looked at Xu Xiyan and smiled like a kid.

“I hope everyone lives a happy life, and... err... has a much bigger scoop to work with!”

All of the reporters laughed at Xu Xiyan’s joke again.

They already had a basic understanding of Xu Xiyan. In their eyes, she was a girl that was bright, witty, and courageous.

Even if she hadn’t officially made her debut, she already had a standing in the entertainment business.

The first press release came to an end smoothly.

After the reporters left the hotel, they went straight to Juxing Entertainment for the next scoop.

Chu Yuhe was sitting in Juxing Entertainment’s CEO office.

He was still in shock from being closed in Yunhai Entertainment’s toilet for three whole days.

When he’d gotten out of the toilet and seen the news, he was crushed. Because of the videos and pictures, his reputation plummeted.

He was once known as the “god who created stars.” And now people had started to call him the “god of the toilet” online.

He was still disgusted by those three days.

Chu Yuhe and Xu Xinrou were both watching the livestream of Xu Xiyan’s press release.

After Xu Xinrou heard what Xu Xiyan had said about the night at karaoke, she stared at the man beside her angrily and slapped him in the face.

“Why did you go and find Xu Xiyan behind my back?” Xu Xinrou screamed.

Chu Yuhe held his face as he looked at Xu Xinrou’s raging eyes. He fell on his knees and begged, “I didn’t, you have to believe me! She’s making all that up! I wouldn’t dare do anything to her, she’s trying to set me up!”

“Yeah, you don’t have the balls to do that,” Xu Xinrou said. She knew Chu Yuhe the most, and that he was a coward who would never dare betray her.

“Please believe me!” Chu Yuhe kneeled in front of Xu Xinrou like a dog.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Fine, get up,” Xu Xinrou said. “Now we have to think about how to deal with Xu Xiyan. Now that she’s told the reporters everything, I’m worried that we might be in trouble.”

Xu Xinrou was in with Chu Yuhe when he’d betrayed her five years ago. Xu Xiyan would never let it go.

“What should we do now?” Chu Yuhe asked, standing up.

“What else? We keep lay low!” Xu Xinrou said, rolling her eyes. “As long as you say nothing, it will all just remain as speculation. After a few days, when the scandal has died down, we’ll make up a new scandal and everything will be over.”

“You’re the best!” Chu Yuhe said, grabbing Xu Xinrou’s shoulder.

Xu Xinrou thought of Xu Xiyan’s face and couldn’t believe that she was able to get out of it.

Chu Yuhe was to blame. If he hadn’t messed everything up, the scandal would’ve never backfired.
