Upon hearing Ning Yu's question, Shi Xi's eyes showed some confusion.
"Huh?" Shi Xi ignored Ning Yu's meaning.
Recalling Ning Yu's words, Shi Xi became even more puzzled.
How did Ning Yu know that she and Xie Yunzhou were at odds?
Shi Xi practically wore her thoughts on her sleeve, and Ning Yu could tell at a glance that the two hadn't made up yet.
Ning Yu went into the room and didn't ask any more questions.
Shi Xi was puzzled, but she still didn't dare to ask Ning Yu.
Xie Yunzhou appeared suddenly and helped her.
But on what grounds?
Can Xie Yunzhou appear and disappear whenever he wants?
Shi Xi returned to her room, lay on her bed and thought about it, so angry that she couldn't sleep.
Why should I?!
Shi Xi sat up and pounded her pillow in frustration.
It didn't take long for the pillow to break, and the feathers inside flew out.
Shi Xi was even angrier.

The next morning, Han Chuan called.
Shi Xi touched her phone. "Hmm?"
"Leng Qiankun is unwilling to come forward and explain that you are not a mistress," Han Chuan said bluntly.
Shi Xi had already gone to sleep angry, and now her mood was even worse.
"Did he explain why?" Shi Xi asked.
"No. I guess it's probably because my future father-in-law is a bank president, and he needs money." The truth was pretty much what Han Chuan had guessed.
Leng Qiankun's new project needs financial support, and only Zhou Xianghui's father can lend him such a large sum of money.
For this reason, even if Shi Xi intervenes, the result will be the same.
Leng Qiankun likes her.
But I prefer money.
After a moment's thought, Shi Xi said, "Go and investigate Zhou Xianghui's father."
Han Chuan said speechlessly, "I'm just an entertainment agent, not a private investigator."
"Then just hire a private investigator!" Shi Xi thought to herself, "Do I really need to teach you that?!"
"Are you really going to go this far?" Han Chuan said calmly, "The other party is a bank president, and might even have connections with the Shi family."
Shi Xi: "Let's investigate first."
Anyway, it's about paying for a private investigator; it's not like they're the ones doing the squatting themselves.

Meanwhile, the police thoroughly investigated Zhao Xiu, the woman who threw sulfuric acid.
Eventually, they found on Zhao Xiu's phone that she had searched for news about "Shi Xi Zhi San Dang San" and posted malicious rumors.
In the comments section, some netizens revealed the filming location of Shi Xi.
Police speculate that Zhao Xiu's ex-husband cheated on her, and Zhao Xiu, upon seeing these posts, harbored resentment, which is why she bought sulfuric acid and threw it at Shi Xi.
No information was found regarding hiring or instigating violence.
After investigating these matters, the police issued a notice, releasing the findings of their investigation and urging the public to pursue celebrities rationally.
The comments below are mixed.
[It's such a pity. Originally, it should have been Shi Xi who was disfigured. This Sister Zhao is so pitiful.]
[Won't Shi Xi get arrested by the police soon? It's good to have connections.]
"Isn't Shi Xi the victim? The one who tried to throw acid at someone but ended up getting splashed instead deserved it."
[If Shi Xi wasn't a mistress, how could she have been subjected to sulfuric acid treatment?]
There was a lot of discussion online, and Shi Xi felt completely dumbfounded after just one glance.
Forget it, don't get angry. Getting sick from anger is something no one can take your place.
Just then, Han Chuan sent a message saying that he had already hired a private investigator.
Shi Xi: [While you're at it, look into this Zhao Xiu.]
It wasn't that she didn't trust the police, but if she paid a private investigator, they might find something unexpected.
Netizens are eagerly awaiting Shi Xi's response, tagging her in the comments section and hoping she will address the "knowing she's a mistress but acting like one" issue directly.
@Shixi: "Release whatever evidence you have, I'm not afraid. I've never been in a relationship, just smiling."
