Chapter 790: All Dragged Into It

Xia Xibei and Zhou Qiyu had a thing?!

This speculation caused a huge explosion on the Internet right after it surfaced.

Zhou Qiyu and Xia Xibei were both spokespersons of Simu, and it was only natural that they had rubbed elbows.

Before this, however, there were rumors about Xia Xibei having a fling with the owner of Simu, and now she was said to be in a relations.h.i.+p with Zhou Qiyu. She was simply… Impressive, wasn’t she?

[I don’t think that’s something impossible though! Xia Xibei has a thing with both the owner of Simu and Zhou Qiyu, and that was how she made Zhou Qiyu one of the spokespersons of Simu… G.o.d d*mn it! She’s awesome, ain’t she?!]

[Whoa, that level of networking though! Wait, can they be having threesomes?]

[What a messed up world!]

All these statements made Beilievers go ballistic.

What disgusting and ridiculous speculations!

How did Zhou Qiyu get dragged into this mess?

Besides, when had Zhou Qiyu and Xia Xibei ever even crossed paths?!

Zhou Qiyu’s fans went berserk too.

Sure enough, the fans spitefully condemned Xia Xibei alongside the rumor-mongers.

As far as they were concerned, their idol was the most innocent baby boy in the world. If something bad ever came up, it would always be someone else’s fault!

Xia Xibei was simply a vixen who enjoyed hooking up with men wherever she went!

Although there weren’t many such comments, they were awful enough to read.

Moreover, the concurrence of the two incidents took a great toll on Xia Xibei’s reputation.

She used to be the most attractive girl in school and the popular Miss Know-It-All. Yet, she’d turned into a dishonorable mistress now!

Even though the fans were desperately trying to explain how the woman wasn’t Xia Xibei at all, as far as most netizens were concerned, savoring the drama was the whole point!

So what about the truth then?

Well, who cared?

Zhou Qiyu was also stunned by how the matter unfolded.

How on earth did he get dragged into this though?!

What was even more ridiculous was that the girl in the photo wasn’t even his girlfriend!

She was his older cousin! His cousin, for G.o.d’s sake!

Who the h.e.l.l was trying to backstab him?!

He became vigilant instantly.

This could very well be a trap! This piece of fake news could just be a smoke bomb, and he believed more traps would follow.

Once he denied it, the other party would make another move!

He had seen too many tricks like this in the past. It was a ruse that the media loved to deploy!

He couldn’t help but ponder… He didn’t have a lot of dirt for people to talk about, did he?

However, he dared not speak up before the coast was clear, neither did the company allow him to say a word about it.

After all, what happened with Luo Xinkai was a big deal, and they were afraid that mishaps would also befall Zhou Qiyu.

Very soon, however, Zhou Qiyu received a phone call.

It was Nie Zehai who called.

Nie Zehai went straight to the point.

“It isn’t Xibei in the photo.”

It was an affirmative sentence.

Nie Zehai had seen how Xia Xibei got along with Qiao Yanjue. Although he had yet to know that they were now a couple, he was certain that Xia Xibei did not have a thing with Zhou Qiyu.

Nie Zehai’s call roused Zhou Qiyu’s curiosity.

“It isn’t her, indeed.”

“Why don’t you come forward to explain then?”

His questioning made Zhou Qiyu somewhat unhappy.

“Why should I?”

Nie Zehai was silent for a moment, then he blurted out, “Are you an idiot?”

Huh?!

Zhou Qiyu’s distaste only intensified, “Did you give me a call just to insult me?”

Nie Zehai took a deep breath to calm his tone, “Do you know about Xia Xibei’s relations.h.i.+p with Simu?”

He understood Zhou Qiyu’s worries and why he did what he did. However, he didn’t want Xia Xibei to suffer such unnecessary a.s.saults.

“What relations.h.i.+p?” Zhou Qiyu seemed to think of something, “Is it true that she…”

“Don’t overthink it,” Nie Zehai denied. “I’m just offering you some advice since you’re an acquaintance of mine. Of course, if you don’t want to…”
