Shi Xinxin pressed her forehead with her hand, saying helplessly, "My dear aunt, with such a big incident, you still have the leisure to eat potato chips?"
Mi closed her mouth and said slowly, "What's the hurry? You, the parties involved, are not in a hurry. Besides, let's see what the company says. I'm already annoyed to death."
Shi Xinxin became anxious when she heard this, "How can I not be anxious? I'm anxious to death, what should I do?"
Mi comforted her, "Don't worry, don't worry, when the boat reaches its destination, it will naturally straighten. Just wait for the company's arrangement."
Shi Xinxin knew that being anxious was useless, so she had to give up. "By the way, Mi, come over to my place. Remember to bring me more food. I don't think I can go out."
"Okay, I know. I'll go to the supermarket later and buy more things. If you don't want to deal with reporters, just hide for a while!" Mi agreed with Shi Xinxin's idea.
Shi Xinxin smiled and said, "Mi, you're the best~ I'll wait for you~ I'll hang up now, bye~"
After Shi Xinxin and Mi ended the video call, she waited at home for Mi to come over, feeling a little bored. She climbed back onto the bed to take a nap.
As she was drowsily sleeping, there was a knock on the door. Shi Xinxin got up to open it. Mi was at the door with two large bags of things, wearing a hat and a mask. After coming in, she put down the things and said, "My goodness~ Fortunately, I prepared in advance, otherwise I would have been hounded to death by reporters."
Since Shi Xinxin became familiar and loved by everyone, some reporters also recognized Mi, her agent.
Shi Xinxin grabbed Mi's hand and shook it, saying, "Good Mi, thank you for your hard work!"
Mi rolled her eyes at Shi Xinxin and said, "Alright, alright, I'll go cook for you. Do you want to join?"
Shi Xinxin knew that Mi wasn't angry, so she smiled and nodded, following Mi into the kitchen.
After dinner, Shi Xinxin took out her phone and opened Weibo. The situation seemed to be getting worse...
Shi Xinxin thought, "No, I can't just wait for death. This won't do!"
Shi Xinxin pulled Mi out of the house. The two of them stealthily avoided reporters and arrived at the company.
When they reached the company, Shi Xinxin pulled down her hat and mask, patted her chest, and said, "It's like fleeing, so exciting!"
Mi was amused and speechless, saying, "I say, Xinxin, what's up? Do you still find this fun?"
Shi Xinxin quickly stopped the topic, coughed twice, and said, "Alright, alright, let's go find the CEO!"
Before Mi could ask Shi Xinxin what she planned to do, she was pulled by Shi Xinxin to the CEO's office.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Come in!"
Shi Xinxin heard this and pulled Mi inside. The CEO looked up and saw Shi Xinxin, frowning, "Xinxin, why are you still running around at this time?"
Shi Xinxin knew that she was in a sensitive period, but she couldn't help it anymore.
Shi Xinxin said, "Boss, I know I shouldn't have run around and should have waited for the company to handle this, but I don't want to wait anymore. I want to hold a press conference to clarify things between Yue Ran and me."
The CEO listened and said, "I understand how you feel, but after our discussion, we felt there was no need for a press conference." He paused and continued, "Your current collaboration drama is being aired, and the program you recorded yesterday hasn't aired yet. Such gossip can increase the program's popularity and boost your fame and attention."
Shi Xinxin became anxious when she heard this, "Boss, I..."
The boss raised his hand to interrupt her, "Alright, you don't need to say anymore. This matter is settled. We're not discussing the press conference, don't mention it again. You can go back now. We will handle the rest on our side."
Shi Xinxin wanted to say something else, but Mi, seeing the situation was not good, quickly pulled her out.
Shi Xinxin was furious and didn't know how to vent. In the end, she didn't listen to Mi's persuasion and ran off to find Yue Ran.
Mi couldn't stop Shi Xinxin in time and could only watch her run away. Mi was worried that something would happen to Shi Xinxin, so she stomped her foot and chased after her. When she reached the door, she saw Shi Xinxin get into a car and leave from afar.
Mi had no choice but to wait for a taxi by the roadside, hoping the car would come faster. She hoped nothing would happen to Shi Xinxin.
On Yue Ran's side, his agent was also extremely anxious.
Yue Ran also learned of the company's arrangements from his agent. He didn't say anything when he heard the news, just sat there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking, or if he was waiting for someone.
"Ding dong, ding dong~"
Someone pressed the doorbell, and the doorbell sound interrupted Yue Ran's thoughts. Yue Ran stood up and walked to the door. He was not surprised to see Shi Xinxin and moved aside, saying, "Shi Xinxin, you're here. Come in!"
Shi Xinxin's face was full of anger. Seeing Yue Ran's calm and composed demeanor, her anger flared up even more. However, Shi Xinxin retained some reason and walked in first. If she was photographed by paparazzi outside, it would be another storm.
Yue Ran closed the door and walked in. Just as he was about to ask Shi Xinxin if she wanted something to drink, Shi Xinxin questioned him, "Yue Ran, were you doing that on purpose yesterday?!"
Yue Ran felt a little sad when he heard Shi Xinxin say this, and sighed, "Xinxin, do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Shi Xinxin saw that Yue Ran neither denied nor admitted it, but instead changed the subject. She became even more convinced that Yue Ran had done it on purpose.
Thinking this, Shi Xinxin's tone became even sharper, "I don't know what kind of person you are. Don't change the subject with me. Just tell me directly if you intentionally hired someone to take those photos!?"
Yue Ran remained silent upon hearing this and lowered his head in contemplation. Shi Xinxin became even angrier seeing his reaction and began to speak carelessly, "Yue Ran, how can you be so despicable! Why would you do something like this? Is it because I avoided you before that you want revenge? I..."
As she was speaking, someone rang the doorbell. Shi Xinxin saw Yue Ran go to open the door, so she didn't continue.
Mi came in and sensed the tense atmosphere. Yue Ran's expression was grim. Mi pulled Shi Xinxin, who was about to scold him, and wanted to leave. Shi Xinxin refused, and Mi had to drag her out.
After Shi Xinxin left, Yue Ran stood there for a long, long time.
Liu Jia had been frozen by the company since her scandal was exposed. She rarely appeared in public and was gradually forgotten.
Liu Jia also stayed at home during this period. Her daily necessities and food were mostly delivered by her assistant, Xiao Wen. Of course, alcohol was also often delivered.
Liu Jia drank at home every day, becoming very decadent. She seemed to be isolated from the world.
One day, Liu Jia, who rarely went online, subconsciously searched for news about Yue Ran and discovered the previous rumors between Yue Ran and Shi Xinxin.
When Liu Jia clicked in and saw the ambiguous photos of Yue Ran and Shi Xinxin, she almost crushed the mouse in her hand. Liu Jia suppressed her anger and continued to read the news. The more she read, the more hatred filled her face.
