Chapter 5: 5 Uncooperative (2)

No sooner had they closed the van door than Xia Siyu was subjected to Wei Jingjing’s torrential complaints, “Sister Xia! My dear sister! I’m begging you, could you please think before you speak in the future? Do you have any idea how bad your reputation stinks? Out of everyone, why did you have to pick on Bo Yan? Right now, he’s the darling of the industry, with awards, box office hits, and mass popularity. If you offend him, his fans will tear you apart! And if he speaks up, you can say goodbye to eighty percent of your roles.”

“He wouldn’t dare,” Xia Siyu challenged with a defiant glint in her eyes.

“Why wouldn’t he dare? He currently has top resources in the industry, the real ‘self-sustaining’ kind. Even if he doesn’t take things personally, you’ve publicly declared you don’t want to work with him. How many good scripts will you miss out on? When forced to choose, will the capital side pick you or him?”

Xia Siyu fell silent. She knew it was true, no matter how harsh it sounded.

Wei Jingjing was clutching at her chest, feeling a bit breathless, “Sister, you just stirred up trouble two days ago, can’t you stay quiet for a bit? You struck the scion of Zhongtian Group, right in the middle of the street no less, infuriating him enough to sue you for intentional injury! If it weren’t for Brother Qin pulling some strings to calm him down, I’d be visiting you at the precinct today.”

At the mention of this, Xia Siyu’s chin shot up defiantly, “He deserved it! He cheated and then got into group activities. Why should Zhou Weiwei put up with his abuse just because she’s dating him?”

“Even if you wanted to hit him, could you not pick the place more wisely?” Wei Jingjing looked at her with frustration, “You knew paparazzi were camping nearby. If you had to hit him, couldn’t you have moved to a different place? And why hit him in the face? With the heel of a high-heel shoe so thin, one slash left a bloody mark that you can’t deny!”

Xia Siyu nodded, “I’ve learned my lesson, next time I’ll beat someone where no one can see, in some back alley. No hitting the face.”

Wei Jingjing grew even more irritated as she spoke, “And another thing, Zhou Weiwei’s dating him in secret and not admitting it—why should it fall on you? I heard he’s planning to enter showbiz and is just riding on your coattails for the publicity.”

“Zhou Weiwei and I are different, she has an intellectual and pure image. Plus, she has a contract with her agency, where if a scandal breaks out, she has to pay them a lot of money. I’ve known her for a long time; she’s not that kind of person, she wouldn’t hurt me,” Xia Siyu’s voice grew quieter as she admitted her fault.

“If she’s not, then I am, right?” Wei Jingjing leaned back on the cushion, gasping for air, “Sister Xia, Brother Qin just went out of town yesterday, can you please keep it down while I’m filling in for the next two days? I don’t have the same influence as Brother Qin, and if something happens, I can’t cover for you. If you want to cause trouble, at least wait until Brother Qin is back. I’d like to live a few more years.”

The van fell into a rare silence. After a while, Driver Xiaotang handed Xia Siyu a bottle of water, which she promptly passed to Wei Jingjing, “You must be thirsty after talking so much.”

Wei Jingjing, who was both angry and disheartened, couldn’t help but laugh at Xia Siyu’s comment and offered the bottle back to her.

As she was twisting open the bottle, Wei Jingjing suddenly thought of something, “There’s no personal vendetta between you and Bo Yan, right? You usually have a fiery temper, but you never start trouble with others who haven’t provoked you. But just now…”
