Chapter 290: 290 Living Together (3)

Just at this time, she wasn’t taking on any new roles, so her schedule was fairly relaxed and leisurely with a lot of spare time.

Last night, after she returned home, Bo Yan came home not long after. Despite his claims of wanting to get closer to her, his actions were quite restrained. She didn’t need to lock her door, and he wouldn’t barge into her room uninvited.

This morning, he got up very early as well. Judging by the way he was getting ready, he seemed to be planning to go out. However, where he was going wasn’t her concern, she didn’t ask, and frankly, she couldn’t be bothered to.

After all, if everything went smoothly, she would be able to put down a deposit within three days, handle all the paperwork within half a month, and, before the shooting of “Spring Light” started, she could have the property deed in her hands. Then after decorating, not long after the shooting of “Spring Light” finished, she would be able to move in!

Once she had moved, she could finally say goodbye to Bo Yan for good. Find herself an obedient handsome ‘puppy’, or maybe a good-looking hunk, divorce him, start a new romance—perfect!

She reported her house-viewing trip to Qin Baizhou. Unfortunately, everyone except Little Tang was helping deal with the trouble she stirred up last night.

Although it wasn’t a major incident yesterday evening, she cursed and hit someone, even involving the police. However, having cleared things up online, nobody was connecting her with Li Weiyi romantically anymore. Instead, they were laughing at that guy for liking play yet being “unable to cut it,” and for getting beaten up by Xia Siyu twice, losing face to an extreme degree.

People are indeed strange sometimes. If not for Xia Siyu’s recent reversal of public opinion, if she had acted this way, she might have been viciously attacked online again. She would have been labeled as a violent capricious bully harassing her ex, not at all a pleasant character.

But due to her recent positive reputation and Bo Yan vouching for her, she was now seen as a feminist warrior, a master of counteracting slander, the first celebrity to personally get involved.

Someone who can battle fans, and beat bullies, audiences love someone who is straightforward and stands up for themselves with such a satisfying sense of justice.

You’re falsely accusing me of having an affair with you? Then you twist facts claiming I’m slandering you? I’ll beat you until you can’t even recognize the words “slander”!

Furthermore, Xia Siyu was quite clever. Last time, even though she used a high heel to strike Li Weiyi, leaving his face bloody, the high heel wasn’t lethal, not even a minor injury, hence no criminal liability. This time, she used a bottle, and apart from a few scratches from the glass shards, you couldn’t even see a mark. She had once again effortlessly dodged legal punishment.

She emerged unscathed and almost universally praised.

However, even with all the praise, having reached the point where she was hitting people and police were involved, it did somewhat impact her image.

Originally, she had lost quite a few commercial endorsements, which had then started to come back. But after last night’s incident, some brands that were ready to sign contracts with her began to hesitate again.

Although this was a positive portrayal, nobody knew if Xia Siyu would be this lucky next time. If a brand signed her as their spokesperson for a year, and she ran into trouble within that year, it would be a headache for them. Even though contracts now stipulate that if an artist faced legal or moral issues, they must pay a substantial compensation, the loss would still be felt.

Anyway, such high-end villas shouldn’t have any issues, right? Besides, in case of any trouble, Little Tang would be there.

Just as she arrived, the real estate agent was waiting for them at the main gate: “Coincidentally, the owner of building number one will also be here today. Later on, you two can discuss things properly.”
