After discussing countermeasures with her agent, Xia Chuyue rubbed her temples and walked out from around the corner.
The other celebrities who were eavesdropping on Xia Chuyue's thoughts in the corridor quickly pretended to be chatting casually when they saw her coming over.
"The moon is quite round tonight."
"Speaking of which, it's almost the fifteenth of the lunar month. I wonder if there will be more variety in the mooncakes this year."
"Hey, Chuyue, what are you doing here? Where's your assistant?"
Xia Chuyue had just notified her bodyguards to come and take the assistant away.
However, some things cannot be said directly, so Xia Chuyue could only gloss over them.
"I left first because of something."
After hearing Xia Chuyue's thoughts, the celebrities naturally understood what was going on.
They didn't dare to expose it, so they could only smile and nod.
"The awards ceremony for the second half should be starting soon, or should we go in first?"
Xia Chuyue lifted her skirt and followed the crowd inside with a somber expression.
The live broadcast room was dimly lit, and Xia Chuyue was preoccupied with her thoughts. She walked around in circles before realizing she had gone to the wrong place.
Finding herself unknowingly in the sofa area for senior investors, Xia Chuyue stopped and turned to leave.
A rich second-generation scoundrel saw Xia Chuyue and sighed.
"Isn't this... Young Master Pei's girlfriend?"
Xia Chuyue frowned slightly upon hearing this teasing remark.
This rich kid was so sloppy and didn't even sit properly. He was sitting with his legs spread apart and had a young celebrity in his arms.
Seeing Xia Chuyue looking over, he clicked his tongue in great interest.
"What a pity, such a beautiful girl, why did she end up with Pei Qi? Why don't you sit down and play with us?"
The rich second generation has absolutely no respect for celebrities in the entertainment industry.
In his view, the female celebrities in the industry were nothing more than high-class hostesses.
Seeing Xia Chuyue's expression turn cold, he snorted disdainfully.
"What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? People like you only enter this circle to hook up with rich guys, right? How come it's okay for you to be with Pei Qi, but not us?"
Those who came with him were all spoiled rich kids who couldn't be brought to the table.
Upon hearing his words, they all began to echo him.
"That's right, that's right!"
"Come on, it's just for fun!"
Hearing the teasing laughter around her, Xia Chuyue tried to hold back, but finally took a deep breath and couldn't help herself.
She stepped forward and, before the rich kid could react, kicked him hard.
The rich kid burst into tears from the pain, clutching his calf and cursing under his breath.
"You dare kick me?!"
"Do you even know who I am?!"
Xia Chuyue sneered as she listened to his foul language.
"Remember today's lesson, or you'll regret it later."
The rich kid pointed at Xia Chuyue's nose and talked for a long time, finally getting so angry that smoke was coming out of his head.
The young starlet, who was being embraced by the rich second-generation, knew about Xia Chuyue's feelings and rushed over to comfort him.
The young star was extremely anxious, but she couldn't reveal anything about the gossip system. She was sweating profusely and kept telling the rich second-generation to be patient and not to clash with Xia Chuyue.
The rich second-generation felt as if mosquitoes were buzzing around him as he listened to the little starlet's words, and impatiently pushed her away.
"Get out of my way! I'm going to teach this woman a lesson today!"
He raised his hand to strike Xia Chuyue, but in mid-air, his arm was grabbed and flung back.
"Who are you trying to teach a lesson to?"
Pei Qi arrived late and immediately saw someone bullying Xia Chuyue. His expression turned cold and his eyes were filled with rage.
Protecting Xia Chuyue behind him, Pei Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the rich second-generation opposite him.
Upon seeing Pei Qi, the rich second-generation heir instinctively flinched for a second.
His family background wasn't as good as Pei Qi's, and his family had repeatedly warned him not to offend Pei Qi.
The key point is that he is also a playboy second-generation, and compared with Pei Qi, a genuine elite second-generation, there is naturally a difference in status.
He pursed his lips; the rich second-generation heir was already considering backing out.
But just when he wanted to back down, his cronies, who weren't quite sure of Pei Qi's identity, whispered and urged him to teach Pei Qi a lesson.
The rich kid immediately wanted to cut ties with these friends!
Don't any of you have any self-awareness?
He also taught Pei Qi a lesson?
Tomorrow, his father's company's top executives will take him to kneel down and apologize to Pei Qi!
The rich kid gritted his teeth, wisely lowered his head, and said sorry.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Pei, I was blind and didn't mean it. How about we just let this matter go?"
Pei Qi scoffed lightly, his expression contemptuous, it was unclear whether he believed it or not.
Xia Chuyue had just kicked this person when she saw media secretly taking pictures behind her, so she quickly tugged at Pei Qi's clothes.
"Forget it, the media is here. If this gets out of hand, it'll trend on social media again."
Pei Qi snorted coldly and obediently nodded to Xia Chuyue.
"Did you go to the wrong place? Shall I take you there?"
These past two days, Pei Qi has been thinking about Xia Chuyue constantly.
His friend was right. Pei Qi's love-struck mind wasn't something that developed overnight. His simp tendencies automatically kicked in whenever he saw Xia Chuyue, making it almost unbearable to watch.
Xia Chuyue looked up and met Pei Qijing's bright, expectant eyes, and couldn't help but be taken aback.
Xia Chuyue pursed her lips, her heart inexplicably racing.
Xia Chuyue opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say no.
"Okay, let's go."
Although the banquet hall is large, it doesn't necessarily require someone to escort you.
However, since one of them was interested in the other, Xia Chuyue felt Pei Qi's favoritism and affection for her for the first time, and her heart never slowed down.
