"Brother Chun, did your fans give this to you?" a staff member asked curiously.
Xu Chun paused for a moment, then smiled vaguely and said, "I guess so."
Wow, did you carve it yourself or buy it?
Xu Chun's smile deepened, "I carved it myself."
"Xu Chun." Su Li walked over, and the staff member who was talking to Xu Chun tactfully walked away.
"Weren't you supposed to be taking that web series role? You were exempt from auditioning, and now the script and role are basically finalized, and the title will be changed to 'The Demon-Subduing Tribulation'."
Upon hearing that her name had been changed to be the same as in her previous life, Xu Chun felt slightly relieved and nodded to indicate that she understood.
"That's roughly how it is. I'll give you the script later. I'll let you know when it's time to join the crew for filming. But I think it might take a while because Xie Jianyuan in some trouble right now."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chun's eyes widened, and she asked with some surprise, "Is Xie Jianyuan here too?"
"Don't you know?" Su Li glanced at him, then frowned again, "But this Xie Jianyuan is like a shadow, I can't shake him off no matter what."
Xu Chun looked away guiltily, her face flushing slightly.
Fortunately, Su Li didn't notice. She seemed to be thinking of something, and said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Xie Jianyuan is in the eye of the storm right now. If he makes a wrong move, he'll never be able to recover."
After saying that, she couldn't help but feel relieved, saying, "You're so sensible; you never cause me any trouble."
Xu Chun chuckled dryly a few times, "... Maybe."
Chapter 81 Sugar Daddy
As rumors about Xie Jianyuan being kept by a sugar daddy intensified, it was easy to see that someone was fanning the flames in this farce. At this critical juncture, Xu Chun took the initiative to forward the company's announcement clarifying Xie Jianyuan's situation, which was tantamount to making her stance clear.
"My brother is so kind, sob sob. Speaking up at a time like this will only get him into trouble."
"Reject rumors. The cost of spreading rumors is too low now, and it can cause great harm to artists."
The two usually at odds fans surprisingly refrained from tearing each other apart on the spot. Xie Jianyuan's fans' favorability towards Xu Chun also soared, since Xu Chun was the first to stand up for him in this critical moment.
Even with company clarifications and Xu Chun's support, Xie Jianyuan was still labeled a "gigolo who lives off a woman," and all the good resources he has had since his debut have been attributed to his wealthy and beautiful "girlfriend."
Keyboard warriors only follow the crowd in criticizing others, ignoring clarifications and explanations, and only willing to believe what they themselves believe.
"You're really calm and collected. Do you know how much the internet is in an uproar because of you?"
Wei Jiahe walked over and looked at Xie Jianyuan, who was still leisurely flipping through a magazine, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Xie Jianyuan lazily propped his chin up, glanced at him sideways, and raised one eyebrow.
Are you talking about the time I was being kept by someone?
Upon hearing this, Wei Jiahe chuckled and shook his head. He also found the rumor absurd and unbelievable, yet some people actually believed it, and quite a few of them did.
"Let's see who's bold enough to keep you as a mistress," Wei Jiahe said with a grin, taking a bite of an apple and leaning back on the sofa.
At that moment, the door opened and Xu Chun walked in. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Wei Jiahe, as if he hadn't expected anyone else to be in Xie Jianyuan's dressing room. After realizing what was happening, he nodded to him as a greeting.
"Here they are." Xie Jianyuan raised his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on Xu Chun.
Wei Jiahe was stunned for a moment. After a couple of seconds, as if he had realized something, he stared at Xie Jianyuan with wide eyes in disbelief. He saw Xie Jianyuan's face filled with undisguised doting tenderness. Then he glanced at Xu Chun and saw that his face was slightly red. He must have been embarrassed by Xie Jianyuan's gaze. The apple in his hand rolled to the ground.
Good heavens, no way, Xie Jianyuan has already succeeded?
"What are you talking about?" Xu Chun asked gently, her voice full of curiosity.
Xie Jianyuan said with a faint smile, "We were just talking about you."
What did you say about me?
Xie Jianyuan smiled but did not answer him.
Wei Jiahe coughed awkwardly and tactfully said he had something to do and left first, leaving only Xu Chun and Xie Jianyuan in the dressing room.
"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?" Xu Chun smiled.
Xie Jianyuan gently pulled Xu Chun, who was caught off Xu Chun, to sit beside him. He looked at Xu Chun with a smile and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing. Wei Jiahe said no one dares to 'keep' me, but I said there is."
He paused here, then smiled and affectionately pinched Xu Chun's nose.
It's you.
Xu Chun blushed slightly, but quickly remembered the important matter. Xie Jianyuan's words reminded him that the matter had not yet been properly resolved.
"By the way, what are your agent's plans regarding the online situation?"
Xie Jianyuan smiled, casually stroking his black hair, and patiently comforted him, "It's alright, I have my own plans. Let them say whatever they want, the harsher the better."
Although Xu Chun was still a little uneasy, seeing Xie Jianyuan's confident demeanor, she ultimately said nothing more.
Xie Jianyuan was indeed not just spouting nonsense.
On Wednesday, a well-known blogger dropped a bombshell that ignited the entire internet.
#Exclusive scoop: Xie Jianyuan the only son of the Xie Group, with a net worth exceeding 100 million yuan and numerous assets under his name. The luxury cars and mansions previously rumored were also purchased independently. I'm so jealous!#
"Where's the evidence? I could also say I'm a billionaire, but it's all just empty boasting."
"What is the Xie Household? Are they very powerful?"
"There are still people who don't know the Xie Household. Let me put it this way, even the boss of Xie Jianyuan's company would have to show deference to the Xie Household."
"I remember the Xie Household also holds shares in the company where Xie Jianyuan; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the heir apparent."
