Chapter 320 - 320: Yu Xiheng: How dare you
Xu Jingshan took a breath, looking towards Manager Luo, “You have no objections, right?”
“None at all,” Manager Luo replied hastily, “It’s best that you’re taking action. She should have been dealt with long ago. She’s just been lucky so far, always managing to escape trouble.”
Even the scandal of insulting the Great Xia had been avoided by Si Fuqing.
Manager Luo couldn’t think of any other solution.
“Then get someone to handle it immediately, ” Xu Jingshan said coldly, “I want to know by tomorrow that she’s gone, understand?”
His assistant, wiping sweat from his brow, replied, “Yes, President Xu. And about Lu Yan and the others…”
“Let the Lu family handle him,” Xu Jingshan replied with an ashen face. “If he was truly outstanding, would he have needed vote manipulation? Now, he’s dragged me down with him.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” the assistant agreed hastily, “I’ll get right on it.”
No group was formed.
Xie Yu went to Glenn, while Xu Xiyun, Ye Qingyou, and the others formed a group and followed Su Yang.
Many brands wanted to collaborate with Su Yang, and with the resources promised by Roz, Xu Xiyun and the others’ future was undoubtedly bright.
This was the best outcome in the fans’ eyes, who shared the news online, celebrating universally.
The internet even crashed for twenty minutes.
Once it was back, numerous trending topics appeared. #SiFuqing, the Moral Compass of the Entertainment Industry#
#SiFuqing, I Want You to Achieve Your Dreams#
#Youth With You Debut Night# #XieYu, Debut as Center# #VoteManipulation# #Glenn#
#SuYang#
The night was a rare spectacle, with the top ten trending topics on Weibo all occupied by “Youth With You”.
[Today, I am a fan of Si Fuqing. Her words really resonated with me. If my idol had met her back then, they wouldn’t have been shelved.]
[How can there be such a good mentor, T.T.]
[Is Si Fuqing in any upcoming variety shows or dramas? She’s almost invisible otherwise, not even a selfie. Annoying!]
[Rumor has it she’s in a live-streamed variety show.]
[Can’t wait!]
Outside the hall.
Fans were still gathered, but orderly.
Si Fuqing and Xie Yu left together from the back door, even receiving a bottle of juice from Xie Yanqiu in the audience.
She was thirsty and guzzled it down.
But after a few steps, she felt something was off.
Xu Xiyun noticed her flushed face and asked in surprise, “Teacher Si, did you drink alcohol?”
“Ah?” Si Fuqing then looked closely at the juice bottle, and indeed, there was alcohol listed in the ingredients.
“Stay away from me,” Si Fuqing said expressionlessly, “Or you might get hurt later. ”
Though Xu Xiyun didn’t understand, he quickly complied.
Xie Yu picked up the juice bottle, his eyebrows raised.
It was a juice commonly drunk by evolved beings.
It provided a quick energy boost.
Harmless to normal people, it could enhance their physique.
“Teacher Si, can’t you drink alcohol?” Xie Yu asked, “I’ll call a car for you. Where do you live? Or you could go to my mother’s place.”
“Can’t you drink?” Su Yang turned back, frowning, “You were going to…?” Go to a bar for a singinggig?
“I said stay away,” Si Fuqing, clutching her head, crouched down, curling into a small ball, “Leave me alone, go away.”
Xu Xiyun blankly commented, “…Teacher Si is drunk, I guess.”
What kind ofalcohol tolerance was this?
Su Yang sighed, “I remember her address. Let’s take her home.”
Xie Yu nodded, “Alright, I have to go, something’s up with my mom. Call me when vou get there.”
He hurried off as his mother had started calling him incessantly.
He had to be there, or else it was going to be another mixed-double in beating him.
Su Yang reached to help Si Fuqing up.
But she swatted his hand away, “Leave me alone, don’t pull up the radish.”
Su Yang was baffled.
Xu Xiyun covered his eyes, “I didn’t see anything.”
After several attempts, Su Yang couldn’t make contact with Si Fuqing.
“This won’t do,” Xu Xiyun scratched his head, “Su God, stay here with Teacher Si, I’ll find a couple of female staff members to help.”
Su Yang nodded.
Xu Xiyun hurried off.
Su Yang crouched down, “Sister, can you sober up a bit? You’re not a radish, you’re a person.”
Si Fuqing remained still.
Su Yang was about to call for some sobering soup when a calm voice spoke.
“Let me take her.”
Su Yang looked up.
Under the streetlight, a man in a grey suit coat, with a meticulously arranged white shirt and tie, stood gracefully.
Handsome and distinguished.
This time, he was standing, his long legs strong.
An imposing presence.
Su Yang’s expression changed, “Your legs…”
His sister couldn’t have been deceived, could she?
Yu Xiheng didn’t speak, just approached.
Su Yang bit his lip, stepping back.
Si Fuqing, sensing someone nearing, reached out to swat them away but was caught instead.
Yu Xiheng said softly, “Listen.”
Su Yang’s expression shifted.
Si Fuqing was strong, but this man had managed…
Yu Xiheng then securely carried her in his arms, nodding in gratitude, “Thank you.”
Su Yang watched as Yu Xiheng carried Si Fuqing away, his pace steady and unrushed.
Xu Xiyun returned, finding no one there, “Eh, where’s Teacher Si?”
Su Yang was in a foul mood, “Taken away by a scammer.”
Xu Xiyun was confused, 1‘???”
Under the sparse streetlights ahead, Si Fuqing, in a drowsy state, could only see a blurred figure. “Who are you?” she mumbled.
She reached out, fumbling with the man’s hair, then poked his face, her hand eventually slipping down to his abs.
Her expression suddenly became serious at the familiar touch.
This feeling…
Si Fuqing quickly withdrew her hand, “Boss, I didn’t mean to.”
Yu Xiheng continued walking without pausing, “Awake?”
Si Fuqing’s head felt heavy, and she seemed troubled, “Why are you carrying a radish around, are you a white rabbit?”
Yu Xiheng paused for a moment, realizing she was still not fully conscious.
Identifying people by touch, quite a skill.
There weren’t many people on this road, as most fans were gathered at the front entrance.
Occasionally, passersby glanced curiously, but the dim light concealed their faces.
After a while, Si Fuqing suddenly called out, “Boss.”
“Hmm?”
“You’re really nice. Apart from my sister, you’re the first person who’s carried me. Why are you so nice?”
Yu Xiheng replied calmly, “You’re drunk.”
He was often labeled a tyrant, with more blood on his hands than many.
He believed in fighting war with war, killing with killing.
He was never a good man.
“You’re so nice, really nice, carrying me like this. Only my sister did… but she’s gone now.” Si Fuqing’s voice lowered, and she gripped his shirt tightly, her voice breaking, “She’s gone…” Alone now.
With no one to bandage her wounds.
Teach her about life.
Or stand by her side in battle.
Yu Xiheng’s expression softened slightly, “Your sister?”
He trusted her, so he never probed into her past.
The Zuo family had adopted her, but he Imew they were not her biological parents.
Yet, he was also aware that the sister she mentioned had nothing to do with the Zuo family.
Who was she?And when did she leave?
“Mhmm, my sister,” Si Fuqing murmured into his shoulder, “How did she, such a big person, become just a small box…” Tears rolled down, dampening his shirt.
They were hot.
Yu Xiheng finally stopped walking.
He turned slightly, pulling out a tissue from his suit pocket, and gently wiped the tears from her face.
“She died right in front of me,” Si Fuqing’s tears continued, her voice choked with emotion, “Everyone’s gone, all gone…” He kept wiping her tears. After a long silence, Yu Xiheng sighed, “I’m here.”
There was no response.
Si Fuqing’s chin rested on his shoulder, her head completely drooping, indicating she had fallen asleep.
Her breaths were steady, tickling his neck.
Yu Xiheng’s brows furrowed.
Rarely did he see her like this.
So fragile, like glass that would shatter at the slightest touch.
What had she gone through?
He narrowed his eyes slightly, continuing his walk.
Reaching the parking lot, Si Fuqing was still asleep, her face peaceful.
But Yu Xiheng’s steps halted as he sensed something amiss.
Urgent footsteps echoed.
In the dimly lit parking lot, a group of burly men armed with clubs appeared.
These were the bodyguards sent by Xu Jingshan.
“That’s her!” the lead bodyguard confirmed, looking at a photo, “President Xu’s orders, get rid of her and dump the body in the sea.” The sea was conveniently close to Lin City.
But who was this man?
Si Fuqings backer?
Before the lead bodyguard could speak again, Yu Xiheng turned around. Cradling the girl in his arms protectively, he lifted his gaze slowly, “How dare you..”
