Chapter 20 got stood up... (2/2)



He clicked on it instinctively.

Early this morning, Xu Youyou was spotted with her secret boyfriend at a hotel in the Shanghai Film and Television Base! In the footage, Xu Youyou and the man were seen behaving intimately, holding hands...

The account that broke the news looked very familiar to paparazzi, and the content of the news was about the love life of Xu Youyou, the recently crowned Best Actress.

The cover features a beautiful woman with a pure and innocent appearance and a gentle, sweet smile.

Xiao He keenly noticed that this Xu Youyou was an artist from Haohan Entertainment.

Could it be that the person on the other end isn't answering the phone... because of this relationship gossip?

But no matter what, you shouldn't stand him up; you should at least call or message him back!

To put it bluntly, it's just that they're not valued.

Xiao He found it rather ironic, so he leaned back and began to slowly scroll through the comments.

[Spreading rumors is illegal! Haohan Entertainment has issued a statement demanding that you immediately delete the video and apologize!]

[Haha, before I clicked in, I was wondering which actress was in the Best Actress category. Turns out it's the newly crowned "water queen" (a term for someone who doesn't deserve a good award). Oh well, she's unworthy of the title, her career will collapse sooner or later.]

[Watch out, upstairs! We'll all run if they shoot from over there.]

[This is a debunking announcement only visible to fans. The leaked photos showed them mouth to mouth; don't tell me they were exchanging bad breath.]

Don't worry about it; you can't wake someone who's fast asleep.

Even if it's true, I don't care. Youyou relies on her talent, and actors aren't forbidden from dating.

[Bullshit! She's just starting her career, dating is a huge waste of time! Please, Youyou, wake up!!]

The comments section was full of all sorts of comments, and one trending topic after another appeared. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this was the most explosive relationship scandal of the second half of the year.

Xiao He didn't know much about Xu Youyou before, but after the comments section explained the situation, he realized what was going on.

Xu Youyou is a newcomer promoted by Haohan Entertainment in recent years. She has a good appearance and acting skills. Last year, with the help of the company, she successfully won the Best Actress award at the Baiming Awards.

Because Xu Youyou has always followed the pure and innocent image, and the movies she starred in were mostly about school beauties or the ideal woman, coupled with Haohan Entertainment's frequent marketing of her as a weak and kind persona, her fans have developed a strong possessiveness and desire for control. They feel that everyone will bully their Youyou, giving them a sense of "a mother raising her daughter".

This led to a particularly strong backlash when Xu Youyou's relationship was revealed, with many of her fans unable to accept the fact that "their beloved Xiaobaicai (a nickname for Xu Youyou) was taken by a pig (a derogatory term for someone who is unattractive)."

Xiao He shook his head with a sigh.

Tsk tsk.

So this is the price of absorbing traffic; if you want it, be prepared to suffer the consequences...

Xiao He finished the last sip of his coffee, not taking the matter to heart. He put away his phone and prepared to leave, already thinking about how to deal with the agent who stood him up when he got back.

"bite--"

The wind chimes at the entrance of the coffee shop rang, and a girl wearing a hat and mask walked into the coffee shop from outside, brushed past Xiao He, and hurriedly walked towards the back door of the coffee shop.

Xiao He kept his eyes straight ahead, said something to Sister Zhou at the counter, opened the shop door, and prepared to leave.

A man wearing a hat and mask slipped through the crack in the door Xiao He had opened, then brushed past Xiao He and headed towards the back door.

Xiao He paused, his hand still holding the door open.

He turned his head and only saw the man's figure flash past the back door.

Xiao He narrowed his eyes.

That was—the scent of one's own kind!

Something's not right... that guy is really weird!

Thinking of the girl who had just hurried past, Xiao He withdrew his hand and turned to follow her toward the back door.

The back door of the coffee shop leads to a small alley. The surrounding area is relatively closed off, mostly with tall buildings, and items from the shops on the street in front are randomly placed on the ground, making it look messy and narrow.

Xiao He carefully avoided those things and quietly approached forward, finally seeing the figures of the two people from before.

"Please! Please stop following me! Isn't being exposed once enough?!"

Directly in front, the girl wearing a mask finally couldn't hold back anymore, turned around and screamed at the man behind her.
