Jin Ying never expected she would be this oblivious!
She had been wildly popular before, so it was unfathomable that a man would stare at her face and then seriously ask who she was.
She felt this man must be some kind of extraterrestrial! He definitely didn't use the internet!
The atmosphere between them grew tense.
Jin Ying instinctively felt the other person was formidable and didn't want to involve Song Xi. So she said, "As I said, I'm Ye Tian's friend. We also filmed a short drama together before."
Ye Hai knew about the short drama and had visited the set a few times. However, his entire focus was on Song Xi and Ye Tian, and he hadn't paid attention to anyone else, naturally not recognizing Jin Ying.
A friend? He had never heard Little Tian mention such a lying, wild-tempered friend!
Ye Hai didn't believe her, and coupled with her suspicious behavior, he filled with wariness and hostility towards Jin Ying.
"You're not allowed to come to the hospital anymore, and another thing!"
He leaned in, his voice cold as he threatened her, "Keep your mouth shut. Don't let me find out that you've leaked any information about Ye Tian."
His facial features were deep, and his dark pupils exuded danger, commanding an inexplicable sense of respect.
Jin Ying was reluctant. She had always been an arrogant and unrestrained person, but at this moment, facing such a mature and mysterious man, she had to restrain her usual demeanor.
She snorted and turned to leave.
Ye Hai watched the woman's retreating figure, a deep gaze flashing in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Song Xi received a WeChat message from Jin Ying.
[There's a crazy person around Ye Tian!]
Song Xi: ?
Ten minutes later, Song Xi was astonished to find that the trending topic had been removed, the online public opinion cleared away completely, and even the paparazzi who had taken photos had publicly apologized, stating the person in the car wasn't her!
The netizens who had been misled started to believe it, defending her, and began attacking the marketing accounts.
A war of words erupted at that moment.
Song Xi assumed it was the work of Ge Baitao and Dai Ze and called to inquire.
"Xixi, actually—"
Dai Ze snatched the phone away and said, "Be more careful in the future. Alright, we have things to do. Think about the afternoon's shoot. If you don't want to go, then don't. Goodbye."
After hanging up, Ge Baitao asked in confusion, "Why did you lie to Xixi? This has nothing to do with us."
Yes, their PR team had just intended to release their statement when they discovered someone had already acted first, handling the situation with swift and clean efficiency.
Dai Ze said, "Do you want her to overthink things at a time like this?"
Ge Baitao frowned, "...Who do you think it was?"
Dai Ze remained silent. He had a rough idea of who it was, but he couldn't say.
So he said, "President Tan, or it could be someone from Di Ou. Song Xi has their program and endorsement. Both companies would be anxious if something happened. Don't dwell on this."
What he said made sense, but Ge Baitao felt that this person's decisive handling style was too much like someone he knew.
...
Song Xi decided to attend the afternoon's shoot after all. After all, work opportunities didn't come around often, and she had to seize every one!
Today's event was an offline recording for a local station, similar to "Let's Go Forward, Guys."
Song Xi had previously been invited as a guest to present awards to the contestants at the finish line, and later the program team invited her to participate.
It was physically demanding, and Song Xi feared she wouldn't be able to handle it, but the offer was too generous. For Yang Yang's sake, she decided to give it a try!
Unfortunately, the weather that afternoon was uncooperative, with dark clouds gathering, signaling a potential downpour.
However, the program team had checked the weather forecast and assured her that it wouldn't rain today. So, after changing into her outfit, Song Xi walked onto the course.
Xiao Mo stood behind her, silently cheering her on, "Sister Song Xi, you can do it!"
