Chapter 301 - 301 Fine, You Win
Su Ji looked at him while drying her hair, “you’re not staying for a meal?”
Photos were very sensitive to female celebrities. Si Jingchuan felt that it was better not to tell his boss about it before he figured out the truth.
His boss had a bad temper.
He stuffed the “cuttlefish juice” into his bag, “ah, yes, I suddenly have something to do.”
“Boss, Aunt Xu, I’m going now!”
Su Ji narrowed her eyes as she watched him leave in a hurry.
**
After Si Jingchuan left the Xu family’s residence, he asked the driver to send him to his destination.
The address that Zhou Xuefang sent was of a hotel.
Si Jingchuan knew what she wanted
She was just using those photos to her advantage because she knew that he cared about his boss.
He had to go anyway!
**
Half an hour later, Si Jingchuan arrived at the hotel room Zhou Xuefang specified. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses, a face mask, and a cap.
The door opened after a knock. Zhou Xuefang peeked out of the door, as if she was afraid that she would be photographed, “there are no reporters following you, right?”
Si Jingchuan pushed the door open and entered the room, “where are the photos?”
Zhou Xuefang was smarter than Tang Yimo. She was dressed very conservatively and there was not even a glass of wine in the room.
She didn’t need to do those things. It was enough for her to just get him to her room to look at the photos.
At the same time, she also left a way out for herself.
Zhou Xuefang held onto the door and said, “there, they’re all on the bed.”
Si Jingchuan entered the room and she closed the door with a click.
Si Jingchuan ran straight to the photos, which were taken in the village.
It was taken on the day Su Ji and Xu Ni were discussing business!
The camera was aimed at the window. Through the gap of the window, he could clearly see the two people inside.
Su Ji and Xu Ni.
Every photo was taken at exactly the right angle to show their intimacy.
Si Jingchuan looked through the photos one by one. At the bottom, there were a few photos of Su Ji sending Xu Ni out.
“….”
Although he knew that his boss and Xu Ni were innocent, if these photos were leaked, it would be hard for her to explain what they were doing in that room.
Who would believe it if they said they were practicing?
Xu Ni pretended to be cold and aloof, but when he was with his boss, he had no sense of boundaries!
If he had known earlier, he would have followed them to the village that day!
Why did he suffer from car sickness!
The sound of a car engine could be heard from downstairs. Si Jingchuan opened the curtain and looked down. What entered his sight was a car that looked like it belonged to a paparazzi.
When the car stopped, four people carrying cameras got out of it, which confirmed his guess.
At this point, Si Jingchuan had figured out what Zhou Xuefang was up to.
Si Jingchuan turned around and looked at the woman who was leaning against the door frame obediently, waiting for his reaction.
He smirked unkindly, his words full of disdain, “do you really want to shoot a kissing scene with me in the finale so badly?”
Zhou Xuefang’s expression immediately turned innocent, “what are you saying? I spent a lot of money to buy these photos for Su Ji and I asked you to come here today to discuss it with you. A hotel is more private, and if someone else sees it…”
Si Jingchuan snorted and interrupted her, “what are you going to say about the reporters outside?”
Zhou Xuefang immediately peeked downstairs, “are there reporters? I didn’t see them when I came.”
“You’re so good at pretending,” Si Jingchuan was even a little impressed by her, “since you said that you’re doing all this for Su Ji and that your purpose is very simple, why don’t you just give these photos to her? Or her manager? Why do you want to talk to me?”
“….”
Zhou Xuefang was at a loss for words.
Si Jingchuan sneered, “let me tell you why. It’s because you can’t have a scandal with her!”
Zhou Xuefang’s expression didn’t change, but her hands clenched into fists.
Si Jingchuan wasn’t afraid. For his boss’ sake, he was willing to accept the fact that he was trapped.
He sat by the bed and slowly looked at the photos.
“So you bought it at a high price,” he sneered. “Then can you tell me who you bought them from?”
Zhou Xuefang did not care about his sarcastic remarks. She told him the story that she had come up with a long time ago, “it’s an extra from the production team. She was desperate because she is poor. If this kind of thing gets blown up, her career will be over. So I watch her delete the backup on her phone. Don’t worry, no one will know about these photos in the future.”
“Fine. If I see these photos again,” Si Jingchuan took all the photos and slowly looked up at her, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression, “you should have heard of what the Si family have done.”
Zhou Xuefang swallowed her saliva.
At this moment, both of them knew who had taken these photos.
...
By chance, Zhou Xuefang managed to take photos of Su Ji and Xu Ni in a room.
However, she did not post the photo on the internet immediately.
Now that Blue Whale was supporting Su Ji, she wouldn’t dare to mess with her. Su Qianrou and Tang Yimo had already tested the waters for her.
Moreover, she only had ambiguous photos of Su Ji and Xu Ni. Although she knew that Su Ji was not a decent person, there was no evidence of her having any relationship with other men for the time being. Hence, she could not destroy Su Ji this way.
Both of them were single. Once Su Ji and Xu Ni directly admitted their relationship, they might even become more popular. By then, Blue Whale would do everything to find the source of these photos.
Zhou Xuefang had already thought of all these, so she chose to use these photos in a different way.
She used this opportunity to threaten Si Jingchuan and create a scandal to help her gain publicity.
Now, the netizens were divided into two groups. One group supported her, while the other supported Su Ji.
However, if there were rumors of her and the male lead falling in love because of the series, guess who the netizens would support?
Zhou Xuefang calmed herself down and smiled, “don’t worry, if the paparazzi really took a picture of us, I won’t explain anything for the sake of Su Ji. They could say anything they want, only the finale would be affected by this…”
Her words were amazing.
...
There were several levels of hints.
1. If the paparazzi took photos of them, please acknowledge the scandal. Otherwise, the fact that they came to the hotel because of Su Ji and Xu Ni’s photos would be leaked.
2. She stirred up the scandal just to get a part in the finale, so he didn’t have to worry about being bound by the scandal after the finale.
Every sentence was a hint, even if he recorded it, he couldn’t use it against her.
Si Jingchuan gritted his teeth, “fine, you win.”
