Perhaps, the content was too shocking. When the emcee wanted to follow up with a question, Shang Feier snatched the microphone quickly and smiled as she replied, “Bo Yan’s just publicizing the movie. He chased me with deep feelings in the movie. I tried very hard too. I welcome everyone to contribute by purchasing the tickets.”
Bo Yan did not deny anything as he raised his head. The end of his lips curled upward.
He had an innate pair of ‘peach eyes’.1 His smile was nonchalant as if he were apologizing for his joke just now. However, upon a closer look, he seemed to be satirical.
…
After the interview ended, it was time for the guests to enter the venue. Everyone subconsciously looked at their cell phones; only two minutes remained till the end of the red carpet event.
The lost time was due to the last three guests.
As to the reason for the person’s absence, it was as clear as day to everyone. Two days ago, nasty news about that person had broken out. The event had shaken the whole entertainment industry.
They had seen doughty people but never one as fearless as that popular female celebrity. She had hit someone up on the streets and left the victim’s face bruised and bleeding. If not for the lack of actual harm, her morality and character would have been questioned on news by people advocating for social justice.
Right then, a black car silently drove in.
In the darkness of the night, a person moved closer, and the sight turned from blurry to clear. This person was dressed in a long red dress and a pair of high heels. Her curly hair loosely lay on her shoulder. It looked as though her brows had been sculpted, and her red lips were alluring. In all, she looked like a red datura flower in the wild.
She was arrogant, domineering, and unreasonably prepossessing. Her beauty was like poison.
When they spotted her coming closer, the cameramen had been overwhelmed by a sense of craziness. They scuffled to shoot her from all angles.
No one had expected her presence, but she defied all of their expectations. She still had the guts to come!
Xia Siyu stepped on her high heels and lifted her chin, nonchalantly dismissing the crowd’s gazes.
She was the famous ‘Rumored Queen’ in the entertainment circle. It was as if she could simply use her beauty to achieve her goals.
When she had just debuted, she had become the female lead of an important movie with a well-known director. Subsequently, all of her movies garnered substantial viewerships. Her popularity was further compounded by her beauty and the innocuous characters she played. This landed her the titles of “Homebodied Men’s Goddess” and “The Dream of Ten Billion Men.”
Everyone expected her to be the new goddess of the era, but they were disappointed. News alleging her origins as a gangster and pole dancer had come out. It was also alleged that she was a university dropout, brainless speaker, club DJ, and bully. How could a smoker and drinker curl-head be a good lady?
This was followed up by a flurry of comments about her arrogance, unprofessionalism, deplorable temper, hard-to-please attitude, and numerous other things.
The most persuasive arguments were about her relationship history. She appeared to have fought with a two-timer and kicked her ex-boyfriend. The man who she had punched on the streets a few days ago was her rumored ex-boyfriend.
Moreover, there was no exception to the fact that her rumored boyfriends were all affluent men.
Thus, she was labeled a sugar baby.
After her allotted personas collapsed, so did her fan base, which dispersed on a mass scale. Some fans even became her critics, while those who were not her fans hurled reproving comments daily. Once her name appeared on the search engine, it would be filled with admonition. That was how she became the mocking stock of the entire internet community.
Just like what was happening now. After she had appeared, the viewership for the red carpet event had soared, although comments were critical.
Xia Siyu had walked the red carpet with an air of calmness. This remained true until she walked to the end of the red carpet, where she paused for a moment when her eyes met with the eyes of Bo Yan, who had just finished the interview.
