Are you trying to force me to become a star?

Chapter 109 Scandal

"You...would you like to...answer the phone first? It's...it's rung twice already."

Xu Jinyan remained unmoved: "I just checked, it was my agent's call, it's nothing."

"Take...take it. Sometimes accidents happen quite suddenly in our line of work."

Xu Jinyan immediately muted her phone: "I don't have any scandals, so I don't care."

If his family members call him repeatedly, he worries that something urgent has happened.

But when it comes to his career, he is fearless.

So what if I get photographed at Zhao Liying's house today?

Seeing that she was about to speak again, Xu Jinyan interrupted her directly: "Don't say anything, Xiao Gu, help your master with your cultivation."

Zhao Liying: "..."

……

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

After taking a shower and lying in bed, Xu Jinyan turned on her phone and found only two missed calls, which made her even less worried.

He called back: "Sister Wanqing, what's going on so late at night? Did my house collapse?"

Zhao Liying, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but twitch her lips. This guy really knows how to say auspicious things!

She opened Weibo to see if anything had happened: Good heavens, the top trending topic was Xu Jinyan.

Although Xu Jinyan has been frequently trending on social media recently, even though he rarely appears in public, this only proves his worth: though he may not be active in the entertainment industry, his legend lives on.

Sure enough, fame brings trouble, and now a scandal has emerged.

#Xu Jinyan and Dilraba's suspected relationship exposed#

In a video posted online, Xu Jinyan and Dilraba walked into an elevator together. The two were very close to each other, and they spoke very naturally, even somewhat intimately. Then the elevator doors opened, and the two walked out together.

At first glance, it doesn't seem like a big deal; they didn't hold hands or kiss.

However, the incident occurred on February 5, 2016, at 10 p.m.

The video then sped up the footage for the next hour or so, but neither of them got off.

The video ended around 11 p.m.

Netizens also discovered that Xu Jinyan visited the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" on February 5th this year. Dilraba Dilmurat was filming a scene that day, and the crew happened to be on holiday for the Lunar New Year.

Xu Jinyan understood what was going on after hearing Lin Wanqing's explanation, so he calmly said, "Sister Wanqing, I understand. Even if it were true, it wouldn't be a big deal. Let's let things play out for a while..."

Lin Wanqing: "Okay, as long as you know what you're doing."

She breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't been with Xu Jinyan when he visited the set that time. Judging from the videos online, it was obvious that's what happened.

It's almost midnight, what can a lone man and woman do in a room?

She called mainly to see Xu Jinyan's attitude; whether he was in a hurry or not would determine how to handle the matter.

Xu Jinyan put down the phone, watched the video once, and couldn't help but laugh.

Although he knew this would happen, he didn't expect the focus to be on himself.

Since the person who leaked the information has seen the video, they should know that he and Dilraba are just a side story; Mao Xiaotong's side is the main event.

Why release this out-of-context video? Is it to generate buzz for the big show to come?

Or is it simply targeting him?

Xu Jinyan shook his head. It shouldn't be aimed at him. There were many witnesses that night: Mao Xiaotong, Chen Xiang, and the people from the moving company.

Seeing that Xu Jinyan remained calm, Zhao Liying asked curiously, "Aren't you worried at all?"

Xu Jinyan looked at her and said, "Even if you replaced Dilraba in the video, I wouldn't be worried about anything."

[Positive emotions from Zhao Liying: +999]

Zhao Liying looked at him with sparkling eyes for a moment before asking softly, "How does your team plan to handle this?"

Xu Jinyan said with a grin, "Wow, sister's voice is so gentle!"

Zhao Liying blushed slightly and slapped him lightly. That guy!

Seeing her like this, Xu Jinyan couldn't help but go up and kiss her for a while, after all, it was rare for his sister to be shy!

After a long silence, Xu Jinyan finally spoke, "Actually, Dilraba and I went to Mao Xiaotong's house that day. We were having dinner..."

Xu Jinyan briefly recounted what had happened, saying that it would be made public soon anyway.

After hearing this, Zhao Liying, despite having seen a lot in the world, still felt somewhat excited: "Is it really such a coincidence?"

Xu Jinyan nodded: "There was a bit of an accident on set that day, so we just took a year-end holiday. Mao Xiaotong happened to be home, which is why this dramatic scene happened."

Zhao Liying nodded in agreement and couldn't help but say, "You never would have guessed Mao Xiaotong would move out the same day she stumbled upon the crime. She's got guts!"

Xu Jinyan nodded and said, "It's still quite respectable."

Just then, a message came from the trio of Xu Jinyan, Mao Xiaotong, and Dilraba.

Mao Xiaotong offered to release the full video if they needed it.

Dilraba felt that Mao Xiaotong had been criticized for months without releasing the video, and then releasing it because of their relationship was really not being a good friend.

And deep down she actually thought this was... pretty good, hehe.

So she didn't respond immediately, wanting to see what Xu Jinyan would say.

Xu Jinyan was too lazy to type so many words, so he directly told them his guess via voice message: "...So Xiaotong, you need to be prepared, this is probably aimed at you."

Mao Xiaotong took a moment to process this: "...So we'll just leave it as it is?"

Xu Jinyan: "It depends on what Dilraba wants. Whether she wants to give it the cold shoulder or issue a denial statement, I can cooperate."

After hearing Xu Jinyan's guess, Dilraba felt that it made sense and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

She replied, "Let's give it the cold shoulder."

Seeing Xu Jinyan put down her phone, Zhao Liying suddenly asked, "So you and Dilraba...?"

Xu Jinyan paused for a moment, then took immediate action: "Concentrate, Xiao Gu. Let your master impart knowledge and infuse you with the essence!"

……

……

While the teachers and students were having their late-night talk, the internet exploded with discussion.

Xu Jinyan just became the perfect male god, and now his relationship has been exposed?

"So, they can define it as a romantic relationship without even doing anything?"

"It's fake! You can't fool me!"

"Is this some kind of trouble caused by our rivals?"

"The video is only being released now, even though it's from two months ago. The neighborhood's surveillance cameras already cover it. Do I even need to ask what their intentions are?"

This is a comment from a fan who favors Xu Jinyan.

As for Dilraba's fans, they think that if it were Xu Jinyan... that would be great too.

However, fans are always a minority; those who enjoy watching the drama are the majority.

"I knew it! If Xu Jinyan doesn't reveal a relationship soon, I'm starting to doubt his sexual orientation."

"Yeah, how could such a big star not have a shortage of female companions?"

"I even think he might have more than one woman by his side, otherwise how could Tian Xiwei become a top-tier singer without putting in any effort?"

"Let's keep watching. If more news about Xu Jinyan with other girls surfaces, then someone is trying to frame him."

"Come on, do you think Canglan is a pushover, going to just sit and watch the Crown Prince get punished?"

"Xu Jinyan is worth more than Canglan's music department. Anyone who touches him is offending Canglan to the death."

"Hey? I found out something else happened that night: Mao Xiaotong and Chen Xiang broke up! Mao Xiaotong was also in the 'Legend of the Condor Heroes' crew, could there be some connection?"

However, this message was quickly buried in the news feed. The two of them breaking up is nothing compared to Xu Jinyan's problem, unless he cheats!

As the night passed, netizens noticed that neither side had responded, which seemed to imply a tacit agreement.

As their popularity soars, netizens are about to pursue their two favorite professions: detective and archaeologist.

Little did they know, the two of them were not flustered at all at that moment, and even talked about the person who should be the most flustered at that moment.

That's right, it's Chen Xiang.
