Chapter 1970: Director Lu Is Really Capable!
Xia Weibao’s tone was a little excited.
Han Luoqi and Zhuang Xuejun were both her friends. If the two of them could end up together, of course she’d be happy.
Zhuang Xuejun froze, her gaze flickering, and her tone a little hesitant. "Wh... what do you mean what’s going on, he and I are just ordinary friends, you know that."
"Then how did you two end up going to a bar together?"
Zhuang Xuejun’s face went pale, her hand unconsciously clenched, a trace of panic rising in her heart. "How did you know?"
"It’s already on the trending searches. How else would I know?"
Zhuang Xuejun only felt her head go boom and explode.
Completely blank.
She hurriedly turned on her computer, logged onto the web, and sure enough saw the photos of her and Han Luoqi coming out of the private room posted online.
The color instantly drained from her face.
She slumped weakly to the floor.
"Xuejun, Xuejun, are you still there?"
"I’m here." Zhuang Xuejun quickly adjusted her emotions. "The photos are real. With your scandal spreading so wildly online, I couldn’t get in touch with you, so I went to the other party involved, Han Luoqi, to find out what was going on. Who knew he’d sneak off to drink at a bar behind his agent’s back, so I went to find him."
"That’s it?" Xia Weibao hesitated. Then how did it turn into them spending the whole night there.
"Yeah, he got drunk. I couldn’t just leave him there, could I? What if something happened? So I stayed at the bar all night, and only left after he sobered up the next day.
To avoid suspicion, we left separately, but who’d have thought we’d still get photographed."
"Oh." Xia Weibao was a bit disappointed; she’d thought the two of them were together.
So that’s how it was.
Han Luoqi really shouldn’t have done that, running off to drink and making a girl take care of him.
"Xuejun, you should talk this over with Han Luoqi and come up with an excuse to clarify things. Don’t let this kind of scandal blow up; it’s bad for both your reputations."
Han Luoqi was a film emperor; getting exposed for opening a room with a woman would definitely hurt his image.
Even though Zhuang Xuejun had left the industry, she was still a woman. How could she let her name be smeared like this?
"Got it, you don’t have to tell me that. Don’t you know what I do for a living?"
Zhuang Xuejun smiled gently. She was an agent, after all.
"Enough about me, let’s talk about you. What’s with those scandals? You and Han Luoqi..."
Thinking of how drunk Han Luoqi had been last night, calling out Xia Weibao’s name the whole time, Zhuang Xuejun felt a stab of discomfort in her chest, very upset.
Bringing this up, Xia Weibao felt a bit embarrassed.
Having a jealous-vinegar-jar for a husband was really depressing.
But Zhuang Xuejun was her agent and also her bestie; she couldn’t hide this from her.
So she cleared her throat and said quietly, "That was actually my husband."
"Isn’t your husband Director Lu? When did he turn into Han Luoqi?" Zhuang Xuejun was dumbfounded.
"No, that person wasn’t Han Luoqi, it was my husband pretending to be him. There were those kissing scenes and bed scenes, remember..."
Zhuang Xuejun, "..."
What was she even supposed to say to that!
"So how are you planning to handle this? Are you going public?"
"I’ll let him handle it. He made the mess, he can clean it up. We don’t need to worry about it."
"Okay, but it needs to be dealt with soon. This kind of scandal kills popularity; dragging it out is bad for you."
"It’s fine. I’m focusing on the pregnancy now. I’m putting showbiz on hold for the time being."
Zhuang Xuejun chuckled softly. "I didn’t expect you to actually be pregnant. Congratulations."
Talking about the baby, Xia Weibao’s expression softened too. "Yeah, it was quite a surprise. And it’s triplets."
"Triplets?!" Zhuang Xuejun was so shocked it took her ages to squeeze out a sentence. "Director Lu is... really something."
One shot, three hits!
