The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 21: 21 Ex-Boyfriend (3)

Perhaps the topic was too shocking that Xiaotang even forgot that the red light had turned green and neglected to drive. He turned his head to look at her until the cars behind honked their horns impatiently, and only then did he continue forward.

It took a while for Wei Jingjing to recover before she continued to inquire,

“When did it happen?”

Xia Siyu gathered her coat around her and looked out the window. The car sped on, leaving everything behind—the cars, street lights, pedestrians, the street scenes—as if, in these years, as she moved forward, it was destined that certain people and events would be left in the dust of memories.

“A long time ago, before I made my debut.”

Xia Siyu clearly didn’t want to elaborate. After she said that, she closed her eyes, regardless of the outside clamor.

Although Wei Jingjing still had questions, she knew that some questions would lead nowhere further if she pressed, so she decided to drop it.

Although Xia Siyu seemed rather naive, dealing with things in a straightforward manner, usually carefree and thoughtless—with people often taking advantage of her to the point where she’d even count the money for them— in fact, she was a person with a sensitive mind and a fragile heart.

Seven years ago, she was discovered and signed by a star scout—who is now her agent, Qin Baizhou—and was brought into the entertainment industry. She officially debuted six years ago, and her first film was an instant hit. Despite experiencing a character breakdown and being cursed by the whole internet, her career path remained straightforward.

Over the years, it didn’t matter to her how she was criticized. As an artist, she was meant to present herself like merchandise on stage for public judgment.

The rumors and gossip spread about her were all fake. She hid herself well and protected her family. Even as her assistant, Wei Jingjing knew very little about her family matters.

Her true secrets, if it weren’t for their accidental discovery today, might never have been revealed.

Given her personality, her conflict with Bo Yan now seemed reasonable.

Perhaps… it was Bo Yan who wronged her back then.

As the car continued on its way and neared Qingcheng Apartment, Xia Siyu suddenly said, “I want to go back to my own apartment.”

Last night, because her apartment was surrounded by paparazzi, she didn’t dare to force her way in, so she had to take refuge in Qingcheng Apartment for a while. But paparazzi couldn’t possibly stake out 24/7; if they didn’t manage to wait last night, they would likely have dispersed by today.

This request was reasonable, and Wei Jingjing immediately had Xiaotang turn the corner, heading towards her apartment. But when they were one street away from the apartment, Wei Jingjing asked the driver to stop: “Xiaotang, don’t park here. I’ll go check it out first. If there’s no issue, I’ll have you guys drive in.”

Xiaotang nodded, and after dropping her off, he circled nearby in the car, awaiting her message.

Wei Jingjing swiped her card to enter the community gate, indeed finding no obvious paparazzi. However, she didn’t relax her vigilance. She continued toward the building, maintaining that she couldn’t truly be at ease until she checked in front of the house.

Riding the elevator up, upon reaching her floor, she was appalled:

The door to Xia Siyu’s apartment had been splashed with red paint, covering the entire door!
