Chapter 138 Do you believe me too?
What Xiao Yu said was so righteous.
After hearing this, everyone praised it and felt that this was the demeanor of a great writer!
"But this time, I heard from my sister that someone deliberately impersonated me? This is trampling on my dignity. I will never tolerate my creative work being exploited by others. That's why I'm standing here today to see who is so shameless!"
His tone was angry, and for a moment, everyone sympathized with him.
His eyes fell on Jiang Yao.
He followed the crowd's gaze and looked inside, but when he saw Jiang Yao, he froze!
Jiang Yao sneered, walked through the crowd and came straight to the man, looking at him with cold eyes.
"Who is the shameless person?"
Not to mention, she actually knew the person in front of her. He was another young author she met when she was creating her work.
The two met at an offline author meeting. Because they had similar personalities and the same hobbies, they kept in close contact.
She treated Xiao Yu as a good friend and told him that she wanted to quit the entertainment industry.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu took this opportunity to impersonate himself openly.
Jiang Yao found it extremely ridiculous.
Xiao Yu's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he was struck by lightning.
He never dreamed that he would meet Jiang Yao in person here.
But, didn’t she retire from the entertainment industry?
"Brother, it's her, expose her!"
Xiao Tong beside him kept urging him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, a hint of guilt flashed across Xiao Yu's eyes, as if he had gone silent.
Xiao Tong suddenly became anxious. He had called people over with great fanfare, not to embarrass himself!
In fact, although Xiao Yu has the same surname as her, he is not really her brother. It was just an agreement between them for hype.
If he fails to do his job well, I don't mind replacing him immediately!
Facing the inquiring gazes of the crowd, Xiao Yu broke out in a cold sweat, but he also knew the stakes involved. He finally managed to calm down and pretended to be calm, saying, "Miss, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. Can we discuss this privately?"
His attitude changed so quickly that everyone present was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Yao was very disappointed, but thinking of their friendship over the years, he still gave him some face.
The two of them quickly left the place.
Xiao Tong, however, thought that Xiao Yu wanted to teach this imposter a lesson in private, and was very pleased. "Senior Shu, you have seen it too. Now that Xing Lan himself has appeared, what else do you have to say?"
Shu Ya's expression was mocking: "It's still uncertain who Xing Lan is——"
On the other side, in a corner backstage of Star Entertainment.
Jiang Yao and Xiao Yu stood opposite each other.
A moment later.
Xiao Yu bowed his head deeply towards Jiang Yao, "I'm sorry, Xinglan, I shouldn't have pretended to be you. I was wrong about this... but I also have my reasons."
"What difficulties could you have? Aren't you the brother of the famous star Xiao?" Jiang Yao crossed his arms and glanced at him coldly.
Xiao Yu gave a wry smile upon hearing this. "What sister? We're not even remotely related. It's just that my last name happens to be Xiao, and coupled with my identity as 'Xing Lan', I managed to catch Xiao Tong's eye. You know my actual family situation..."
Jiang Yao interrupted impatiently: "So! What do you want to say?"
"I..." Xiao Yu hesitated for a long time before speaking with some difficulty: "I, I hope you can give me some face and not expose this matter for the time being. I can give you any benefits you want."
After he finished speaking, the last trace of patience in Jiang Yao's eyes disappeared, and his tone was disappointed.
"Xiao Yu, as a fellow creator, I think you can understand the anger of having one's hard work taken away by others.
You just spoke so righteously in front of the reporters, but you turned out to be the thief. Don't you think it's hypocritical and disgusting?"
"I..." Xiao Yu was speechless.
Jiang Yao originally held a glimmer of hope, thinking that he might sincerely reflect on himself.
Now I realize how wrong I was.
"I will not allow you to continue stealing my honor! Your face is worthless to me!"
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
At this moment, a "thump" sound suddenly came from behind.
Jiang Yao turned around in surprise and saw Xiao Yu kneeling in front of her. "I really know I was wrong. I didn't do this for fame or profit. I just wanted to make some money by leveraging Xiao Tong's influence. My mother's cancer costs hundreds of thousands a year. I can't just watch her die!"
"If I hadn't really had no other choice, I wouldn't have done this. Please, for my mother's sake, at least, don't expose this in front of so many reporters. I don't want her to be disappointed in my only son and think that he's just a fame-seeker!"
At the end of his speech, there were tears in his eyes.
Jiang Yao was stunned when he heard this.
She had also met Xiao's mother. She was a gentle and kind woman who had given her a lot of care when she was most helpless.
She had always known that Xiao's mother was in poor health, but she didn't expect it was cancer. She couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Seeing that he was about to kowtow to her, Jiang Yao said helplessly: "Okay, for your aunt's sake, I can give you a chance."
Xiao Yu looked up in surprise, only to hear Jiang Yao continue his warning: "But I'm not asking you to continue pretending to be me. You need to clarify this matter as soon as possible. If you make the same mistake again, I won't let you go."
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and finally said, "Okay, I will clarify."
After the discussion, Jiang Yao and the others came out again. Facing the reporters surrounding them, Xiao Yu took the initiative to explain, "I'm sorry, everyone. This is actually a misunderstanding..."
Xiao Tong on the side frowned in dissatisfaction. She thought that he would help her expose them and leave Shu Ya with no chance of recovery, but what happened!
She wanted to say something, but Xiao Yu gave her a look, indicating that he would explain to her later.
The scene was chaotic, so Jiang Yao took the opportunity to take Shu Ya away.
Sitting in the car, Shu Ya observed her expression all the way. After a moment, she smiled and said, "Master Xinglan, how long are you going to keep this secret from me?"
"Cough..." Jiang Yao choked, "Yaya, do you also believe that I am Xinglan?"
"If I don't believe you, should I believe that hypocrite?"
Shu Ya said as a matter of course: "You obviously have such an amazing status and fame, but you never use it to make a profit for yourself. Doesn't that prove something? You are worthy of being my best friend, Shu Ya. You are really capable."
Jiang Yao felt very embarrassed.
However, after this happened, neither of them had the mood to celebrate.
Jiang Yao sent Shu Ya back first, and then returned to the villa.
But as soon as she opened the car door, a bunch of bright, passionate fire roses appeared in front of her.
