Number 1 Scandalous Queen - Chapter 46
Chapter 46: A Fish Out of Water
Leng Yan, who was just about to go to bed, felt a twitch and jumped up from his bed.
“Xu Jiayang, are you crazy?”
“I’m serious.”
Xu Jiayang gently tried to advise — or rather, persuade — him.
“Leng Yan, believe me. Xia Weibao is an artiste with great talent and skills. As long as you give her the opportunity, she will rise in popularity!”
Leng Yan sneered. “Do I look like some kind of fool? To be fooled again and again? This was what you said the last time. And what do we have now? Only scandals of Xia Weibao all around!”
Leng Yan frustratedly grabbed his hair. He had never seen an artiste who was so prone to attracting unwanted attention. Who knew whom Xia Weibao had offended!
Ever since she made her comeback, the daily news was always filled with her scandals.
“Ah Yang, listen to my advice. Give up on Xia Weibao. You’ve been in the entertainment industry for quite some time. Can’t you tell that someone is controlling all these behind the scenes?”
No artiste was born to attract such scandals.
It was common for an artiste to have a scandal. But after everyone rallied together to pull someone down, and this scandal was still ongoing after three years of silence, it was clear that someone was trying to torture Xia Weibao to death!
And the scariest thing was that after he had searched for such a long time, even after pulling all his strings, he still could not find the mastermind behind all of this.
You can only imagine how terrifyingly powerful the person Xia Weibao had offended was.
“Ah Yang, Xia Weibao has caused trouble again. Let’s protect ourselves.
At that time, Xia Weibao was the top star of Diyu Entertainment and our money tree. But Diyu Entertainment banned her without any hesitation. That means that the one who wants to torture Xia Weibao has power to control even Diyu Entertainment!
Why should we put ourselves through this trouble?”
After a lack of response through his mobile phone for a long while, Leng Yan frowned.
“Ah Yang, are you still there? Xu Jiayang!!”
Aaaargh. It was so difficult for me to speak such sense like a philosopher and you actually put down the phone on me?
After a while, Xu Jiayang’s voice came through.
“Excuse me. I stepped away to smoke just now. What did you say?”
Leng Yan: “…”
You idiot! I’ll find someone to kill you!!
Ignoring Leng Yan’s anger, Xu Jiayang continued the earlier conversation calmly. “The finals of “Dancing Into The Future” is in two days. What can you do to put Xia Weibao in?”
“I’ll put your sister in!!!”
Aaaargh! I’ll break all ties with you, Xu!
“I don’t have a sister. Just put Xia Weibao in.”
“Are you acting dead, Xu Jiayang? I asked you to give up on Xia Weibao!”
“That’s impossible!” Xu Jiayang was determined. He believed in what he saw. Xia Weibao definitely had what it took to become popular — extraordinarily popular, in fact!
She was just like a fish out of water.
But one day, she would find her place and soar!
Besides, he had a feeling that day would come soon.
In his years of experience as a director, he had seen all types of people. Xia Weibao was the only person whom he could not see through her talent at first glance.
In his heart, he had an intuition that Hongtu would not be able to hold her back, that Imperial city would not be able to hold her back, China would not be able to hold her back. And even the entertainment industry would not be able to hold her back.
Since she was eventually fated to rise up, then he would be her helper and help her set sail.
“F*ck, Xu Jiayang! Don’t tell me the rumours that Xia Weibao has slept with you are true?”
Xu Jiayang’s face fell. “Don’t spout nonsense!”
“Then why do you keep supporting her?”
“Your Hongtu is already under mortgage. What other back-up plans do you have?”
“I’ll give up Hongtu!”
“Your goddess…”
That hit the bullseye.
