Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

Bai Wei's expression froze again.

He didn't know what to say for a moment, but he couldn't let Qiao Zihao actually investigate.

What if the investigation leads back to him?! His public image will be completely ruined!

Bai Wei quickly considered countermeasures.

The reason Qiao Zihao was so certain that someone was targeting Chu Xunxiang was precisely because he knew she might actually have a sugar daddy.

Some people must have seen something to start spreading this message.

I wonder what the person behind this is really up to.

"You!"

Bai Wei shook his head: "It's because he's been too well protected by President Mu! He hasn't experienced the cruelty of the entertainment industry! That's why he can say such things so easily!"

Like an older brother, he patiently explained to Qiao Zihao, "Sometimes people who spread rumors may just want to suppress others. If you really investigate, it might end up with both sides suffering losses, which would be counterproductive."

Qiao Zihao hesitated for a moment, because he was genuinely afraid that the person spreading the rumors might have solid evidence.

He couldn't help but look at Shi Xiaxia, seeking her opinion.

Shi Xiaxia also shook her head, indicating to Qiao Zihao that he shouldn't worry about it for now.

Bai Wei had always known that Qiao Zihao listened to Shi Xiaxia, and when he saw Shi Xiaxia shake her head, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled back into his stomach.

Bai Wei, seemingly out of kindness, spoke a few more words with Qiao Zihao before leaving.

"Xiaxia, why don't you care?" Qiao Zihao was extremely puzzled.

"It's not time yet." Shi Xiaxia stared at Bai Wei's back, and only looked away when he noticed her and turned around.

Bai Wei couldn't find anyone watching him, so he touched his hair in confusion and went back to doing his own thing.

Just as Qiao Zihao was talking to Shi Xia and Xia Wei, Chu Xunxiang came out after changing her clothes and putting on makeup.

In the past two days, she has heard some rumors.

Actually, this doesn't bother her much. Having gone through so much, she no longer cares about her status in the entertainment industry or how others see her.

She was just afraid that if the matter was confirmed, Shi Xiaxia and Qiao Zihao, who had been invited to join the crew, would be implicated.

She walked up to the two of them with a slightly hesitant expression, then asked Shi Xiaxia in a low voice, "I want to ask about the rumors... Will they blow up? Will they affect you and Zihao?"

"will not."

Shi Xiaxia immediately replied, "Don't worry, Sister Chu."

“That’s right!” Qiao Zihao quickly added, “Would Xiaxia and I be affected by such a small matter?”

Chu Xunxiang looked at the two of them with a touched expression, but she felt more guilty than anything else.

To be honest, she really took a huge risk this time.

At the time, she was only thinking about repaying Shi Xiaxia, but she didn't expect that it might implicate her.

"Then I..." Chu Xunxiang planned to find someone to suppress this matter.

Shi Xiaxia shook her head at her, interrupting her, "Don't worry about it, this is... a good thing for you."

"Good news?" Chu Xunxiang was even more puzzled.

How can such rumors be considered a good thing for her?

However, she now unconditionally trusted Shi Xiaxia, so she nodded and said, "I understand."

As soon as Chu Xunxiang finished speaking, the director called her over.

The next scene is Chu Xunxiang's play.

......

A few more days passed in the blink of an eye, and the rumors in the crew intensified. Cheng Suyi had repeatedly told them not to talk about topics unrelated to acting, but they just couldn't stop them.

However, due to the lack of substantial evidence and further clues, people gradually lost interest.

But just a few days later, a new rumor was spread: Chu Xunxiang had an abortion!

This news is quite detailed and credible, making it more believable than the initial claim that "Chu Xunxiang was being kept by a sugar daddy."

In an instant, everyone's gaze toward Chu Xunxiang changed.

This rumor shocked not only others, but also Chu Xunxiang.

She vaguely understood what Shi Xiaxia meant...

She was trying to find the murderer who had deceived her and caused her to miscarry!

After all, she hadn't even told the child's father about it! No one else could possibly know!

After Chu Xunxiang understood Shi Xiaxia's plan, she became even less concerned about the rumors.

On the contrary, she thought the more serious the rumors, the better! That way, it would be easier to find the culprit!

While taking a break, Chu Xunxiang browsed the internet, trying to find some clues.

"Fragrant,"

Bai Wei walked over with a worried expression. He comforted Chu Xunxiang, "Don't take these rumors too seriously. Maybe it's just that someone dislikes you and spreads these rumors."

Chu Xunxiang raised her head and looked at Bai Wei.

Not long after her debut, she collaborated with Bai Wei, and the two have been friends for many years.

Later, Bai Wei confessed her feelings to him.

However, Chu Xunxiang already had a secret boyfriend at the time and genuinely considered Bai Wei a friend, so she rejected his confession.

After that, Bai Wei reduced his contact with her.

Even though they are now in the same film crew, Bai Wei rarely takes the initiative to talk to her.

So when Bai Wei came to comfort her this time, Chu Xunxiang was a little surprised, but also very touched.

She smiled slightly and nodded to Bai Wei: "I know."

After saying that, he added, "Thank you."

Bai Wei's expression was somewhat unnatural, and upon closer inspection, one could see that he was feeling guilty.

He touched his hair: "Hey, what's the big deal? We're old friends."

"Mm." Chu Xunxiang nodded with a smile.

"correct,"

Bai Wei seemed to remember something and continued, "Have you investigated the person spreading these rumors?"

"No."

Chu Xunxiang shook her head and explained softly, "Anyway, it's just a rumor, so it doesn't matter if I say it."

"Is that so?" Bai Wei looked at Chu Xunxiang with a complicated expression.

If he hadn't known the truth, he probably would have been fooled by her too.

Bai Wei was about to ask a few more questions to find out Chu Xunxiang's thoughts when he was interrupted by the shouts of others.

Bai Wei looked up and noticed the person who had come. His pupils contracted, and then he left Chu Xunxiang's side with an unnatural expression and went to hide somewhere.

Chu Xunxiang also looked at the newcomer with surprise, but did not notice Bai Wei's abnormal behavior.

"President Yue."

Cheng Suyi approached Le Yizhou with a smile and asked, "Why are you here?"

"They invested so much money,"

Le Yizhou tilted his head slightly, lowered his eyelids, straightened his cuffs, and slowly said, "I should at least come and see how the filming went."

After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked around, finally fixing them on Chu Xunxiang before casually looking away.
