Chapter 1327: Chapter 1318: Restart (6)
She was justifying herself here, but before she could finish, a traffic police officer walked over, knocked on the car window, and prepared to give them a ticket for illegal parking.
Before Xia Siyu rolled down the window, she deliberately tidied her slightly ssy hair and fixed her look in the rearview mirror. Only then did she slowly roll down the window, maintaining a calm smile: “Sorry, we did stop for a bit too long. If you’re here for an autograph…”
The traffic cop squinted at her for a long ti, “Are you Xia Siyu? The one who supported the TV station, feasting on people’s misfortune? Do you have any sha? If I don’t give you a hefty ticket, it would be an injustice to those victims!”
So, it turned out he was a hater. Furious, Xia Siyu quickly closed the window and, before leaving, tossed out a line: “Go ahead and give us the ticket, we’ll pay the fine ourselves and won’t skip out!”
After saying that, Xia Siyu looked at Bo Yan. Bo Yan got the hint and quickly drove away. The traffic cop was livid, cursing from behind while indeed writing a huge ticket: “Damn it, if you don’t pay, I’ll expose you online!”
…
It wasn’t until they had driven a good distance that Bo Yan chuckled, “I didn’t expect that you’ve beco a pariah now. Do you believe, if you go to the vegetable market now, how many people would throw rotten eggs at you?”
In truth, Bo Yan was a little worried. Those words weren’t spoken by Xia Siyu, but when she terminated her contract with Huixing, she shouldered the whole issue. Even if she didn’t, tearing into Huixing wouldn’t yield results and wouldn’t appear dignified. But after taking it on, there’s no way to argue otherwise. Even though she compensated the victims’ families and supported Chen Fan, she didn’t want to publicize it, fearing it would disturb their lives and worried people would think she was trying to “whitewash” her image.
Yet, if she doesn’t clear her na, her reputation can’t be salvaged. Unless she waits a few years for everyone to forget about it and makes a coback through new works, there won’t be as much negative criticism.
But Xia Siyu doesn’t have that much ti. She wants to reach the pinnacle by thirty. With only two and a half years left, making a movie includes production, releasing, and award consideration ti.
In reality, there’s at most a year and a half. In this year and a half, if she can’t land any roles, or if her movies are boycotted, she won’t receive any awards. anwhile, Shang Feifei has already landed a new role in Wang Ju’s movie, increasing her chances of success.
If not for setting the deadline at thirty, she might stand a chance, but with such heavy criticism, turning things around is really hard.
But being anxious doesn’t solve anything. If Xia Siyu were to turn against Huixing now or pull out Chen Fan to clear her na, she could. But then, she wouldn’t be herself anymore.
Sure enough, right after Bo Yan finished speaking, Xia Siyu received a ssage from Chen Fan.
He was discharged from the hospital and recovering well and was currently adapting to his prosthesis. In the ssage, he said: “I’ve thought about it carefully. If I go study design now, I might not learn much, and it would take a long ti. Instead, I’ll study makeup. Although my leg is not functional, my hands are still nimble. I’ve learned a bit before and have helped models with makeup on stage. A makeup artist once praised . Once I recover, I’ll co help you.”
“Great. I really do need a makeup artist here. I’ll wait for you to co over.”
