Having narrowly escaped death, she returned to the Imperial Capital only to discover her true identity. The Jiang family used her up and then abandoned her, yet they came looking for her again to d...
Si Jiangyu drove to a nearby restaurant called Yipin Guo, a proper Chinese restaurant.
It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was bustling with people.
They happened to sit at the last empty table, and this time Si Jiangyu handed her the menu so she could order for herself.
Si Jinyan ordered a dish of garlic shrimp, a dish of tomato beef tenderloin, and a dish of pork bone and lotus root soup.
"Is that enough?" Si Jiangyu saw that she had only ordered three dishes. He remembered that her martial arts training was very demanding, so he added a braised pig's trotter.
"Hehe, Senior Brother, have you suddenly had a change of heart?"
Si Jinyan really wanted to eat pig's trotters; she used to love pig's trotter noodles...
"Thank you for your hard work today." Si Jiangyu couldn't help but reflect on himself after hearing her say that. Was he really that bad before?
Of course, the reason for this today is still because of Xiao Luoan!
The restaurant was already crowded, and the food was taking a while to arrive, so Si Jinyan took out a BL novel from his Qiankun bag and started reading it.
"It's her!"
The noise around them grew louder and louder, and gradually people surrounded Si Jinyan and Si Jiangyu.
"What are you doing?" Si Jiangyu was startled by the women who had surrounded him, and he quickly stood up and shouted at them.
When Si Jiangyu isn't smiling, he looks cold and aloof, and his deep voice adds to his imposing presence.
"Hey handsome, what's your relationship with this woman?" someone asked at that moment.
"Don't be fooled by her, she's two-timing, she's a womanizer!" someone else said.
Si Jinyan had no idea when she had become a sea queen...
She was surrounded by these women and couldn't even stand up.
Someone even deliberately pulled her hair.
"let go!"
Si Jinyan couldn't even move after turning around, so he could only scold her.
“What you’re doing is disorderly conduct, and I have the right to sue you.” Si Jiangyu saw someone pulling Si Jinyan’s hair and immediately reached out to slap the person’s hand away.
Today she wore a modified short cheongsam that looked very gentle. The length of the skirt was just at her knees, revealing her fair, slender and well-proportioned calves.
Someone deliberately kicked her, and she almost fell off the chair.
"She's a slut! She seduced Brother Zhuoxi last night, and today she's flirting with you, handsome guy! We're here to seek justice for you!"
"Yeah, yeah, you bitch, don't you know our brother's career is on the rise?"
Si Jiangyu then understood what was going on; it turned out that these people had come to find his junior sister because of Si Zhuoxi.
He sneered and called Si Zhuoxi, "Bring the hot pot right now!"
Si Zhuoxi was discussing with Li Qianwen how to handle the online situation when Li Qianwen called him around 10 a.m. today, telling him that some media outlets were writing nonsense online.
Paparazzi took photos of him and Si Jinyan coming out of the underground parking garage last night and going to Anzhitinglan for dinner.
It made the front page of the entertainment section today.
It's about a female hero who saved lives who turns out to be the wife of a movie star!
Some people are even more outrageous: was saving someone an accident or inevitable?
Some people even started conspiracy theories, saying that the child fell into the water and was rescued, but no parents came out to claim him for a full half hour.
Is this a publicity stunt, or is it something that was deliberately orchestrated by someone with financial backing who wants to promote this girl?
In short, a deluge of negative news directly targets the ordinary person Si Jinyan.
In addition, she gave several interviews to reporters yesterday, and what she said was taken out of context and edited, and then further edited by marketing accounts to create some things she never said.
Si Jinyan doesn't like browsing social media platforms, but those videos and photos spread like wildfire on Weibo, and public opinion was impossible to suppress for a time.
Si Zhuoxi hadn't had a chance to tell Si Jinyan yet; she was still contacting the public relations department of Jialan Media to do some public relations work.
But what's the use of clearing his name? Now it's Si Jinyan who's being attacked.
Jialan had no reason to care about the life or death of an ordinary person; all they needed to do was protect Si Zhuoxi.
Li Qianwen had no way to resolve the matter and could only sigh repeatedly.
However, she remembered that Si Jinyan had saved her, and despite her long efforts to mediate, she still couldn't get Jialan to give a single word of agreement.
After receiving Si Jiangyu's call, Si Zhuoxi immediately took a taxi to Yipin Guo. Fortunately, the journey was not far, only ten minutes. Those ten minutes felt like an eternity to Si Zhuoxi.
His usually gentle face now showed nothing but icy coldness.
"She's such a scheming bitch! How could our Zhuoxi brother date such a scheming bitch!"
The entire hot pot restaurant was quickly taken over by Si Zhuoxi's fans, and some were just casual passersby who came to join in the fun.
Si Jinyan was really annoyed by these women, but she didn't dare to make any big moves for fear of hurting innocent people.
But these people went too far; no matter what Si Jiangyu said, they wouldn't listen.
He explained that this was his younger sister, while others said she was his lover's sister.
When Si Zhuoxi arrived, she saw that the restaurant was packed with people, and Si Jiangyu was protecting Si Jinyan tightly.
However, some people still took the opportunity to kick Si Jinyan's calves, or even deliberately step on her feet.
Si Jinyan tightened her grip on her small hands. She really wanted to take action against these people.
"Brother Zhuoxi is here." Sharp-eyed fans saw Si Zhuoxi appear at the restaurant entrance and immediately turned to look for him.
"Brother Zhuoxi, don't be fooled by that woman! Look, she's dating another man again." A fan kept calling him Brother Zhuoxi while criticizing Si Jinyan.
Si Zhuoxi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "After this last drama is finished, I will retire from the entertainment industry."
"What? You're actually going to quit the entertainment industry for a woman?" Most of the people here are big fans and fan site administrators. Some of them are here to take some photos. Regular fans don't have that much free time to come offline to find someone.
Si Zhuoxi added, "She is my younger sister who I grew up with. I am heartbroken that she has been hurt like this because of me. So for the sake of my family, I do not plan to leave the entertainment industry."
"So it really is her sister?" someone muttered quietly at this moment. The news that the movie star Si was retiring from the entertainment industry because of his sister was quite explosive.
Some fansite admins immediately uploaded the video to the fan club, which shows that the spread was quite fast.
Soon even Li Qianwen found out, and she called to ask why she hadn't discussed it with her.
Si Zhuoxi could only apologize, and he would handle the rest with Jialan himself.
Si Jinyan then sat down to calm herself down. She had just heard her second senior brother mention the matter of retiring from the entertainment industry.
Her beautiful eyes, though seemingly unfocused, also revealed a degree of helplessness.
The idols pay the price for their fans' actions; it can be said that idols' success or failure is also due to their fans.
Si Jiangyu went to ask the staff to pack up their food; he didn't know what might happen if they stayed any longer.
