God knows how surprised Fu Yunyi was when he saw what just happened.
Who are these people? They didn't even drink tonight, so how could someone be so bold as to plot against Xia Zhiyi?
Putting everything else aside, Xia Zhiyi's fighting skills are not something an ordinary person can easily outmaneuver. Aren't you afraid he might impulsively beat someone half to death?
At this point, the others gradually arrived as well.
The sound of footsteps made Wan Baoxi's expression grow increasingly unpleasant. Before everyone arrived, Wan Baoxi barely managed to maintain a semblance of composure. " Fu Yunyi, don't talk nonsense."
Fu Yunyi scoffed and ignored her.
So what if they're a senior? He only respects those who deserve respect. He can't be bothered with those who think they're superior just because they're older.
Fu Yunyi's gaze swept past Wan Baoxi and landed on Xia Zhiyi, who was still smiling, and he asked, "Should I tell my uncle?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled and shook her head, "No need, he doesn't need to worry about such a small matter."
Fu Yunyi nodded.
Their simple conversation struck Wan Baoxi like a thunderbolt.
What's the meaning?
What does that mean?
However, Wan Baoxi didn't need to think about what it meant anymore, as the other guests who heard the commotion, as well as the show's director, had already arrived.
Upon seeing this scene, the director was the first to react. " Teacher Wan, Teacher Fu, Teacher Xia, what happened?"
Fu Yunyi sneered, "What's wrong? You guys set up cameras in the hallway, didn't you? Want to go check it out? When I came upstairs, I saw this guy sneaking around over there, filming something with his phone."
"I don't know what this Teacher Wan is up to. Coming to my junior's door in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. What's the matter? Does he think my junior is young and easy to fool?"
That's really a harsh thing to say.
But everyone could see that Fu Yunyi was genuinely angry at this moment, and he was clearly protecting his own, feeling that Wan Baoxi was bullying his junior brother Xia Zhiyi.
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Wan Baoxi opened her mouth, then said, "Um, there's a misunderstanding here, I..."
Fu Yunyi interrupted her directly, "What are you pretending for? I saw it clearly. I just walked up behind this person and saw your assistant still looking at the photos. What, trying to create a scandal with my junior brother?"
"Look at your age! And how old is my junior brother? You really have wild imaginations..."
Xia Zhiyi: "Cough."
Fu Yunyi froze, paused before speaking, cleared his throat, and swallowed his words: "Director, you handle this."
"I'm not recording the show with this person anymore."
At this moment, Fu Yunyi revealed the willfulness typical of a rich young master, and he was full of confidence.
Although he didn't say it directly, his meaning was clear.
He, or Wan Baoxi, it's your choice, director.
In reality, people in positions like directors usually try to smooth things over and get through this by finishing filming the show for the next few days.
When the director first appeared and saw the group facing off, he had a pretty good idea of how things would develop. He really wanted to smooth things over and finish filming the show. He figured it wouldn't matter how much they argued afterward; if word got out, it might even generate some buzz for the show.
but...
But Fu Yunyi is now an investor in their program.
Although it wasn't Fu Yunyi himself, but rather Fu Yunyi's uncle, they were still family.
In this situation, even the director wouldn't want to offend such a young master.
but...
The director looked at Wan Baoxi with a puzzled and disappointed expression in his eyes—why did you have to provoke this young master in the first place!
Although Wan Baoxi was a last-minute replacement, Wan Baoxi actually got the guest spot through connections, as she happened to have some relationship with the director.
If possible, the director would like to have the best of both worlds, but...
Fu Yunyi raised an eyebrow, not bothering to continue his harsh words with the director, and turned to ask Xia Zhiyi, "Perfect timing, I have something I need to go back to take care of. Do you want to come back with me? My uncle can pay the breach of contract fee."
The director's eyelids twitched, and he turned to look at Wan Baoxi: " Teacher Wan..."
In the end, Wan Baoxi had Xiao Yi that night, her old illness relapsed, and she had to withdraw from the recording of the program.
"The way you handled it today, that director is probably going to complain." Xia Zhiyi handed Fu Yunyi a bottle of mineral water and said this as she watched him drink it with a disgruntled expression.
"Let him complain if he wants. It's not like I started this trouble. He's the one who didn't choose the right guests," Fu Yunyi said.
Xia Zhiyi smiled and didn't try to persuade him further. That was just Fu Yunyi's style; if he didn't like something, he would just take action. Sometimes he was too lazy to even talk, and would just do the thing without bothering to explain.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been smeared like that. After all, with his personality, many people like him, but just as many people dislike him.
There might also be some envy, jealousy, and resentment involved.
After all, not everyone can act as freely and confidently as Fu Yunyi.
"However, you really seem to be in a bad mood today. You wouldn't usually be this impulsive," Xia Zhiyi said slowly as she sat down beside her.
"Maybe." Fu Yunyi put down the water and looked up at Xia Zhiyi: " Xu Chen called me earlier, talking about Gu Miaomiao."
Upon hearing the female lead's name, Xia Zhiyi's brow twitched, and the smile on her face faded slightly, "What happened to Miss Gu?"
If there was nothing wrong, Xu Chen wouldn't have called knowing they were live-streaming.
Fu Yunyi sighed and told him what Xu Chen had told him.
" Xu Chen also relayed the situation to my uncle. It seems my uncle... sold me out."
As Fu Yunyi said this, he muttered, "If I didn't believe that my uncle wasn't the kind of person who would be fickle, I would have really doubted him before. He's never paid this much attention to anyone before."
As he spoke, remembering something, Fu Yunyi looked at Xia Zhiyi and explained, "Ah, that's not what I meant. What I meant was... oh dear, my... my uncle is definitely innocent!"
Xia Zhiyi speechless. "I know more about this than you do."
Fu Yunyi: "..."
Xia Zhiyi asked, "You said your uncle sold you, what happened?"
When this matter was mentioned, Fu Yunyi's expression became complicated, it was hard to tell whether he was unhappy or something else, but...
Xu Chen said that my uncle, in order to get someone out of trouble openly, claimed that Miss Gu was my girlfriend.
"I just went out and contacted them again to inquire about the current situation. Xu Chen said they are still negotiating with people, and Zhao Changye doesn't dare to keep her detained. Gu Miaomiao has already gone home."
"I don't really care, but Gu Miaomiao would probably find it absurd to suddenly have a boyfriend."
