The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 342: Crisis (4)
Yeah, this is indeed an age-old tale.

It’s just a gift, no one really makes a big deal out of these things. Before long, the cake was sliced and distributed, and the room was tidied up. Those who wanted to dance could dance, those who wanted to mingle could mingle.

Usually, in such situations, Xia Siyu would neither dance nor care to socialize, and she would simply leave. Unfortunately, today she couldn’t go just yet, as she still had to return to the Bo Family’s old house with Bo Yan later in the evening.

But while she was zoning out here, others still needed to network. Even Bo Yan found himself surrounded by people. He hadn’t gone on stage earlier, which might be seen as disrespectful to his family, but it was also understandable; the Bosch Company wasn’t handed over to him, would his presence on stage not cause chaos?

Yet now, when it was time for him to take up the task of networking, he wouldn’t leave. There was no helping it, even though his grandfather hadn’t been exactly fair to him, he didn’t want to disappoint his grandmother.

As he networked, Xia Siyu yawned beside him, bored to death. It wasn’t that no one came to talk to her. She was a big star after all, and even though Shang Feifei and Li Yiru were present, she intrinsically had more of a star appeal than that of an actor. Without doing anything, just by sitting there, she naturally attracted the attention of others.

Just as Bo Yan attracted female fans, she had no shortage of unwanted suitors. If it weren’t for Xia Siyu’s tough reputation, there would probably be even more flies buzzing around her.

Finally, a gentleman with narrow eyes bravely stepped forward, holding a glass of wine, “May I have the honor of having a drink with Miss Xia?”

Xia Siyu looked up and didn’t recognize the person. She didn’t hide her displeasure, “Who are you?”

Her words sent him packing.

But the gentleman didn’t take offense, and Xia Siyu saw that with him having taken the initiative, a greater number of men began approaching her. Annoyed, she simply stood up and walked outside.

The hallway was empty, which gave her some respite as she walked around for a bit, then she headed to the restroom.

After turning the tap in the restroom and letting the water run, she went to wash her face. As the water flowed from the faucet, someone emerged from one of the stalls. This person hadn’t come to wash hands but to seek her out: “Xia Siyu.”

The tone indicated trouble, and Xia Siyu had no interest in looking directly at her, but she could see in the mirror the person approaching her; it was Jiang Bumei.

Xia Siyu didn’t know her, nor was she interested. She simply glanced at her then indifferently looked away, bowed her head and began to touch up her makeup.

Jiang Bumei watched her through the mirror. Indeed, she was beautiful, with a great figure and attractive looks. Unfortunately, she liked to steal other people’s boyfriends, “Do you know who I am?”

Xia Siyu didn’t even bother with her, continuing with her compact powder.

Just because you’re somebody, should I know you?

Jiang Bumei wasn’t put off and continued her introduction, “I am the girlfriend of your former scandalous connection, Yang Nu.”

Yang Nu? Xia Siyu thought for a long time before she remembered, Oh, the first guy who hyped up a scandal with her, the one she had worked with on a film. This guy started with publicity stunts with her but then actually got tangled up with her, wanting to date her and thus inciting his girlfriend’s dissatisfaction, which led her to start digging up dirt on Xia.

But he was just a minor character, and she didn’t pay much mind.

After finishing her makeup, she packed up her cosmetics bag, gave herself another look in the mirror, and prepared to leave.

Just as she reached the door, it was abruptly slammed open, and a man with a ruffian’s grin blocked the entrance, “Miss Xia, we meet again.”

It was Li Weiyi.
