Chapter 500 - The Swallow’s nest banquet
Chapter 500: The Swallow’s nest banquet
Yun Xiangxiang laughed unkindly. However, she wasn’t happy for long before she was affected by the unscrupulous media.
There was a piece of news in the Entertainment section: mixing oil with one’s girlfriend outside of the movie, and having a ‘junior sister’ serving her in the movie.
The picture attached was of her feeding Xue Yu warm soup on the set yesterday. From this angle, the two of them were really flirting.
However, this news didn’t accuse Xue Yu of being two-timing, nor did it say that Yun Xiangxiang and Xue Yu were having an affair.
The words ‘acting’ and ‘off-screen’ were used delicately. In order to attract attention, they went to great lengths. Not only could yun Nian and Xue Yu not be angry, but they also had to thank the other party for promoting their movie for free.
There were too many such paradoxes in the news and entertainment industry. Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t care less about it. Normally, Yun Xiangxiang would just laugh it off, but now, he was frowning.
On Song Mian’s end, she understood and trusted her. Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t worried, so she looked at Xue Yu worriedly.
Before Xue Yu had any reaction, his phone rang. Xue Yu happily picked it up. “Xu Zi!”
“I’m fine, I’ll be with Xiang Xiang. Xiang Xiang will be my guest in a while.”
“The news on the internet is all groundless, how is that possible? I have you now.”
“I got it. I’ll try to keep my distance from you in the future. Are You Okay?”
“Okay, about that….”
“Okay, you go ahead….”
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t hear what Xu Zi said, but Xue Yu was right next to her. He didn’t want to avoid suspicion, so Yun Xiangxiang heard everything he said.
Xue Yu hung up the phone and was a little depressed. “Xu Zi’s father scolded her because of the news about us.”
Yun Xiangxiang,” ….”
To be honest, Yun Xiangxiang powerlessly. What kind of news was this? Not to mention that she and Xue Yu were family, even if they were unrelated people, they wouldn’t make such a big deal out of this.
Suddenly, Yun Xiangxiang realized that even though Xue Yu had used memorial to shut Xu Zi’s father up, if he really wanted Xu Zi’s father’s approval, he would have to quit the entertainment industry.
In the future, he still didn’t know if Xue Yu would be used by others, or if there would be female celebrities who would take advantage of his popularity. There might even be worse news.
Xu Zi’s father didn’t trust Xue Yu at all, and he was very picky. The slightest mistake would magnify endlessly in his eyes.
“Sister Xu Zi called you specifically for this?” Yun Xiangxiang asked tentatively.
“Yes.” Xue Yu nodded.
Yun Xiangxiang furrowed her brows even more. She couldn’t ask Xue Yu anything else, or else she would be suspected of trying to sow discord between Xu Zi and Xue Yu.
However, according to Xue Yu’s answer, Xu Zi was simply asking why there was such news. She was complaining that her father scolded her. Wasn’t that the same as blaming Xue Yu for dragging her down and getting scolded?
She didn’t even ask why it was like this. It seemed like she was asking if Xue Yu was okay, but it seemed like she was just asking casually.
She had no idea that Xue Yu was sick. She got the result she wanted, and after getting Xue Yu’s assurance, she hung up the phone.
Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t sure if she really had something urgent to deal with, so she didn’t dare to make any malicious conjectures. However, she was a biased person, and she was Xue Yu’s senior brother and sister.
Xu Zi’s actions made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Perhaps this was the selfishness of human nature. Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t help but smile wryly at the thought. She could only console herself that maybe Xu Zi really had something urgent to take care of.
After the incident, she would call Xue Yu again in private, and since Xue Yu didn’t seem to mind at all, it was even harder for her to say anything.
It was because of this piece of news that Xu Zi made a phone call. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know what to say to Xue Yu for the rest of the afternoon.
Fortunately, Xue Yu was not in a good mood, so he did not think too much about it. It was only after four in the afternoon that they drove to Zhao Guibi’s house.
It was a rather luxurious villa with a huge garden and even a golf course.
From the construction of the villa to the interior decoration, it was extremely luxurious. In particular, there was a complicated and huge crystal lamp hanging in the main hall. The light shone on the winding staircase that separated the two sides, lighting up the entire hall in a magnificent manner.
Zhao Guibi’s villa was like a gorgeous palace in Europe, and the dining hall was also super big.
She was pushed over in a wheelchair by the woman who had delivered the list to Yun Xiangxiang the last time. Yun Xiangxiang knew that this was Zhao Guibi’s assistant, Zou Yannan.
“Sit down. I thought you guys would come later, but the kitChen hasn’t started yet.” Zhao Guibi invited them to the sofa area to sit down, and asked someone to pour tea and serve some snacks and fruits.
“It’s okay. We’re not that hungry yet. Waiting for an hour or two shouldn’t be a problem.” Yun Xiangxiang about how rude he was to Zhao Guibi and introduced him to her. “This is my senior brother. You should know him.”
“Senior brother, this is Miss Zhao.” Yun Xiangxiang turned around to introduce him to Xue Yu.
“Hello, Miss Zhao.” Xue Yu bowed and extended his hand.
Zhao Guibi shook his hand. “Thank you, Mr. Xue, for saving me.”
“I didn’t do much, it’s all because of my good fortune.” Xue Yu didn’t think he was being modest. He was just accompanying Yun Xiangxiang to think about it that day.
“I’ll remember it all. If I have the chance in the future, I’ll repay this favor.” Zhao Guibi had always been a woman who distinguished between gratitude and hatred.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to talk about this with her, so she took the initiative to ask. “How’s the investigation going on behind the scenes?”
Back when Zhao Guibi wanted to treat them to dinner, Yun Xiangxiang told Xue Yu everything about Zhao Guibi. Xue Yu was curious as to what kind of person would want to harm such a beautiful woman.
Zhao Guibi’s beauty was definitely top-notch even in the entertainment industry.
Xue Yu felt it was a pity that such a beautiful woman lost her legs just like that.
“I have some clues.” Zhao Guibi did not want to talk about it.
Yun Xiangxiang realized that she was not guarding against them, but she did not want to drag them into this, so she could only change the topic. “This is my second time in Hubei Province, and I’ve already eaten all the authentic food. What are you going to serve us today?”
“It must be something you’ve never eaten before,” Zhao Guibi said confidently.
Yun Xiangxiang his curiosity was piqued. While waiting, Yun Xiangxiang about how he was going to the charity event to pass the time. Both of them found it interesting.
This topic involved not only the business field, but also the entertainment industry. It even covered social topics.
The three of them were able to express their opinions and had a good conversation. Soon, an hour and a half passed and dinner was ready.
When the dishes prepared by Zhao Guibi were served one by one by the servants, Yun Xiangxiang and Xue Yu were dumbfounded.
Yun Xiangxiang and Xue Yu were both rich people, but it was also an eye-opener for them. So there were so many ways to make a bird’s nest!
