Chapter 1322: Chapter 1313: Restart (1)
No, or rather, it’s worse than four years ago.
Four years ago, at least Qin Baizhou had already established a company and successfully signed Xia Siyu. The previous company shelved her first, and she didn’t have any endorsents to break off, so she didn’t need to pay any money.
But now, she’s not just in a “reputation collapse”; she’s being scolded as “unworthy of being human,” to the point of being banned. It’s not just her haters coming at her, but countless “righteous bystanders.” Moreover, this ti they even dug up her mother. Without Bo Yan by her side, he’s afraid she wouldn’t withstand it.
Now when Xia Siyu calls him, he answers imdiately. But after connecting, he doesn’t know how to comfort her.
Will he help her pay the money? Would she accept it?
Does he want to help her restore her reputation? Although he believes his daughter wouldn’t say such heartless things, if it was the company’s doing, how could he step forward to help?
And her mother, has always been a taboo between them. What should he say, and how should he say it?
In a daze, Xia Siyu spoke, her voice calm: “I called mainly to ask you one thing. Back then, was my mother legally your wife?”
Xia Youbiao nodded: “Of course she was. Your mother and I were properly registered abroad, I don’t need to lie to you about this.”
“In that case, I don’t ask for much. Please release a statent acknowledging your marriage to her. Buy it as a trending search headline, on all platforms, I want it to be the first article, hanging there for a whole day. It’s what she deserves, regardless of whether the Xia Family acknowledges it or not, she is your wife.”
“Of course! I’ll buy it right away! It will be up by tomorrow.”
“No need for that. Wait until I notify you.” If it’s put up now, people will say she’s using her background to divert hatred, and her mother will still be scolded. She wants to wait until her side has sorted things out, the studio is established, then she can clearly distinguish matters.
Since Huixing has already posted that article in her na, she won’t argue, will leave everyone so last dignity.
“Okay.” Xia Youbiao agreed imdiately, hesitated for a long ti, and then said, “This ti… you probably have to compensate a lot, right? If you have any difficulty, tell Dad, Dad still has money here.”
Xia Siyu shook her head: “No need, I can manage on my own.”
The lawyer Bo Yan introduced to her was indeed powerful, and she negotiated well with Huixing. Although her termination was a breach of contract, since Huixing used her to stir controversy, she took on the full brunt of criticism and didn’t have to pay the penalty. As for those endorsents, he also tried to negotiate, and the compensation was less than she expected.
“Siyu, don’t be polite with Dad. Dad really feels…” These days, Xia Youbiao had almost beco thin from stress, his hair was turning white. But he had no choice but to swallow his anger; Xia Siyu didn’t respond, and he could only bear it himself. After all, he was the one who wronged her and her mother back then, not even getting to see Wen Qunxiao one last ti.
“If later… I need to ask, I will.” Xia Siyu ultimately couldn’t bear it, and left a comnt, to which Xia Youbiao imdiately agreed: “Yeah, okay, okay.”
After the call ended, Bo Yan was beside her and saw her noticeably exhale a sigh of relief.
During this ti, being by Xia Siyu’s side, he felt it very clearly.
She had changed.
Beca mature, calm, rational, and responsible. Nothing like the loud, boisterous Xia Siyu of the past.
Yet, internally, she’s always carried a gentle heart.
