Chapter 471: Chapter 270
Today, Shen Jingxiu had scheduled lunch with Ji Yuanzhou.
The video replay of the live stream was opened by Ji Yuanzhou.
Initially, he was playing with his phone, and Shen Jingxiu didn’t pay much attention.
But suddenly, the words ’Wenyan’ seemed to grow wings, flying straight into Shen Jingxiu’s ears.
He immediately put down the menu and lifted his eyes to look at Ji Yuanzhou.
"What are you watching?"
"Oh," Ji Yuanzhou said in a flat tone, "I accidentally clicked on it. I was trying to search for some signature dishes of this restaurant that might be good, but I mistakenly entered a video. Quite coincidentally, I just heard someone mention your sister."
Having said that, Ji Yuanzhou simply passed his phone to Shen Jingxiu.
"Take a look."
Without any courtesy, Shen Jingxiu reached out and took his phone.
Ji Yuanzhou continued, "Do you know who the male celebrity being interviewed in this video is?"
"I know," Shen Jingxiu slightly frowned, "It’s the one who confessed to Wenyan that night and got rejected. They have recently co-starred in a television series."
"Oh? So that’s the case. No wonder the reporter wouldn’t let go of your Wenyan during the interview. Someone took photos of them entering the same hotel one after the other, and then rumors started spreading that they were spending a passionate night together in the hotel."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingxiu frowned and let out a cold laugh.
"What kind of logic is that? Just because they stayed in the same hotel means they spent the night together? Ridiculous."
Ridiculous? It was rare to see Shen Jingxiu comment like that about netizens he had never met, which made Ji Yuanzhou raise his eyebrows.
"You seem very concerned about your sister’s affairs. Could it be that you’re a ’sister-complex’ brother?"
Shen Jingxiu ignored Ji Yuanzhou.
Because he was concentrating on the video.
The reporters in the video were too malicious; they seemed to be giving Gu Xiran a hard time, but in reality, they reduced Wenyan to nothing, which made Shen Jingxiu quite upset.
He quickly returned the phone to Ji Yuanzhou and then took out his own phone to send a few messages.
It wasn’t until he finished that Ji Yuanzhou continued to ask, "Does your family or you usually intervene in these matters?"
Shen Jingxiu shook his head, "Not usually. Wenyan used to handle it herself, and now they are managing an entertainment company on their own, which makes it even less necessary for the family to intervene unless they can’t handle it themselves and need to seek help from home."
Ji Yuanzhou nodded, "I’ve heard about this. You personally established the foothold of Fu’s Entertainment, and then you turned around and gave Fu’s Entertainment to your younger siblings. You really are a good brother."
Shen Jingxiu paused, "I’m not as selfless as you say; it was also my father’s intention."
"That’s true," Ji Yuanzhou said, "and it just so happens they are quite familiar with the industry. But I remember your sister didn’t originally study acting, how did she suddenly get into the entertainment industry?"
"She studied design before, which is somewhat related to my mother’s profession, but that wasn’t what she liked. Later, she figured things out and simply went for what she wanted to do."
As a message came in on the phone, Shen Jingxiu checked the message while answering Ji Yuanzhou’s questions.
After he had answered, he then cast a scrutinizing look at Ji Yuanzhou.
"You seem to be quite interested in Wenyan?"
"Is that so?" Ji Yuanzhou chuckled, "I was just asking casually. After all, she’s your sister. If she weren’t, I definitely wouldn’t have bothered asking."
Shen Jingxiu ’hmmed’ and didn’t pursue the topic further.
Meanwhile, another message came into his phone.
After glancing at the picture in the chat box, his gaze shifted back to Ji Yuanzhou’s face.
Feeling surprised by his friend’s serious and frowning stare, Ji Yuanzhou was taken aback.
"What’s up? Is there something dirty on my face, why are you looking at me like that?"
Shen Jingxiu’s frown deepened.
Ji Yuanzhou raised an eyebrow, "Come on, speak up, don’t just stare at me like that. You’re giving me the chills. What’s the matter?"
Shen Jingxiu glanced at his phone again and asked Ji Yuanzhou, "Have you and Wenyan ever had anything happen between you?"
Ji Yuanzhou thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"What are you talking about? There’s nothing that happened between me and your sister."
Shen Jingxiu narrowed his eyes and pushed his phone in front of Ji Yuanzhou.
"Then who is the man in this photo?"
Looking down, Ji Yuanzhou understood, "Ah, so you’re talking about this. Yes, that’s me. Even though I’m wearing a mask, I believe you can recognize me, right?"
