Chapter 498: 497 Family (3)

Qin Baizhou reacted swiftly, immediately grasping the loophole in Zhou Weiwei’s statement. “You mean, it’s not a case of rekindled old flames because they’ve been together all along?”

This, this is impossible. If they have been together, how could they only reveal a slight flaw now? For seven years, Xia Siyu has been in the industry for seven years. In all that time, except for the past few months, the name Bo Yan was never associated with her.

Zhou Weiwei didn’t answer, but he continued to press. “That doesn’t make sense; the company never forbids its artists from dating. She has no need to hide it, nor any reason to.”

Xia Siyu places great importance on the protection of her privacy, especially concerning her family. Up to this point, he had never met or even heard her mention any relatives.

However, Xia Siyu’s views on love seemed more open. If she liked a man, she wouldn’t need to keep it a secret; she would probably just say it outright. Her behavior toward Bo Yan was even stranger—it wasn’t that of a woman in love, nor did she seem to be threatened by him, so why?

“Nothing is impossible. For example, all the years you’ve known her, have you ever heard her talk about her family?”

Zhou Weiwei initiated the conversation, confirming his suspicion. Qin Baizhou couldn’t help but lean forward, his voice becoming a bit more urgent. “What about her family? She should be quite wealthy by now, right? Is the money she makes not enough for her to spend? And I’ve never heard her talk about any financial crises either.”

An ordinary person might compromise for a variety of reasons, such as entering the entertainment industry to pay off a huge debt. But Xia Siyu never seemed to have financial issues, nor were there ever relatives showing up out of the blue seeking her help.

It would be better to believe that Xia Siyu didn’t do certain things due to a poor family background; rather, he preferred to believe that because she came from a very good background, she had always been so straightforward.

Wait, she came from a very good background?

Qin Baizhou seemed to understand something; Bo Yan came from the Bo Family, mingling with the rich and noble. It was not for a lack of actresses wanting to hook up with him, but he simply was not interested.

Although Xia Siyu didn’t quite fit the image of a well-groomed lady from a prestigious family, with her determination, unwillingness to admit defeat, broad knowledge, outstanding dancing skills, and the ability to speak Italian and English (without being a top student), chances were that only her original family could have nurtured these attributes.

A family like that, at the very least, would be middle class, or even higher.

Just like in many novels, the daughter of a wealthy family would fall out with her parents, run away from home, and strive to make a name for herself. Although the likelihood was slim, sometimes, when all other possibilities were eliminated, this least likely scenario could indeed be the truth!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You mean, her being with Bo Yan is arranged by her family? Her family’s situation isn’t too bad, but actually too good?”

Zhou Weiwei did not answer; she simply took a sip of water and then smiled. “Mr. Qin, I know you care a lot for Siyu. But some things are not for you or her to decide. Her connection with Bo Yan is very close; they won’t easily be separated, regardless of whether it involves love. Of course, they’ve been in love before, and there’s nothing wrong with them being together now, right?”

Qin Baizhou was indeed a bit shocked; he had never considered that the girl he found on the street that day had so many secrets!

“As for the contract swap matter, Mr. Qin, you can think it over. I’m not in a rush; there’s still time.”
