Chapter 673: Chapter 673: This is big news!

"Is this what you’re planning to do?"

Quan Jinbei, hearing the woman’s ethereal voice, had a slightly complex expression on his face.

For some reason, when facing Shi Yaoguang, he inexplicably felt a bit guilty.

Logically speaking, he shouldn’t feel guilty at all.

If he had allowed the butler to arrange a meeting with these people, it naturally meant he had thought things through.

There was no affection between him and Shi Yaoguang.

The only thing he could offer her was the honor of being Mrs. Quan.

Having received this, Shi Yaoguang shouldn’t be concerned about other things.

However.

Facing the woman’s all-seeing gaze, Quan Jinbei still felt guilty.

"Ahem..." He covered his mouth and gave a polite cough, "Listen to my explanation."

"Explain what?" Shi Yaoguang’s lips curved into a smile, "Explain how you’re hosting a casting banquet at a hotel?"

Quan Jinbei’s expression turned awkward for a moment, "I didn’t..."

"Then what are they here for? Don’t tell me you’re just kindly gathering them together to have tea and chat without doing anything."

He truly didn’t want to do anything.

Ever since he had reacted to her last night, Quan Jinbei felt there was something wrong with his body.

So he wanted to try to confirm it again.

These thirty-some women were specially gathered by the butler.

They had bathed several times before coming, ensuring there were no odd scents on them.

Most women wear perfume, and one person’s scent is usually delicate, maybe even refreshing.

But if it’s two, three, ten, or even thirty people!

The mix of thirty different scents combined could be a deadly weapon that could knock someone out in minutes!

Seeing Quan Jinbei’s disgusted expression, Shi Yaoguang clicked her tongue lightly, "You’re so repulsed, yet you had them come to keep you company?"

"I never would have guessed that Mr. Quan had this kind of hobby."

Quan Jinbei’s face grew even more complicated with her teasing.

He didn’t know how he had been so foolish.

But it was too late for explanations now; they were pointless. Instead of wasting words, it would be better to think of a way to appease the woman in front of him.

When Quan Jinbei realized what he was thinking, he couldn’t help but be shocked by his own thoughts.

What was going on with him?

What was he thinking just now?

To appease her?

When Shi Yaoguang saw his expression suddenly turn to one of horror, she asked in confusion, "What’s wrong with you?"

Quan Jinbei just shook his head, bearing an expression that showed he didn’t want to talk more with her.

This made Shi Yaoguang unhappy. She immediately frowned, "Quan Jinbei!"

She called his name, her eyebrows knitted, her face more unsightly than ever before, "I trust you, so even though you found so many women and are in the same room with them, I didn’t immediately condemn you and even gave you a chance to explain."

"What do you mean? You won’t let me explain and instead make that face? What, I’m bullying you now?"

"No." Quan Jinbei pursed his lips, his gaze growing dim.

Shi Yaoguang let out a cold snort, continuing to question, "So what do you think? You don’t want to continue this way, is that it?"

Listenting to her natural line of questioning, Quan Jinbei’s eyes flickered.

Logically speaking, Shi Yaoguang’s mindset should be the same as his.

Even if there were differences, she shouldn’t be so righteous and confident.

There must be something wrong here...

While Quan Jinbei was pondering, Shi Yaoguang was also lost in thought.

After a while, it was she who broke the silence, "What exactly do you mean?"

Quan Jinbei moved his lips, his momentum weakening, "What, what could I possibly mean?"

Hearing his tentative tone, Shi Yaoguang didn’t know whether to laugh or get angry, and her face also took on a subtle expression.

Quan Jinbei gave a light cough, "That... Actually, I had a reason for bringing these women here."

"What reason?" Shi Yaoguang asked directly.

Quan Jinbei pursed his lips and just blurted out a blatant lie: "I want to invest in a film for you, and they’re all actors I found."

He paused, then added, "To act alongside you."

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang’s face didn’t look much better.

"Do I really need them to play supporting roles?"

Shi Yaoguang’s words were arrogant, but they were also true.

Shi Yaoguang was now a leading actress.

As a leading actress, she could do whatever she wanted, and nobody could question her status.

Those who wanted to play supporting roles for her were as plentiful as carps crossing a river, and there was no need for Quan Jinbei to go through the trouble of finding them.

Quan Jinbei touched his nose, his tone carrying a hint of embarrassment, "I didn’t think it through. I’ll send them away immediately."

Having said that, he glanced at Shi Yaoguang’s expression, and seeing that she had no objections, he immediately had all the women disperse.

The women had long been eager to disappear from sight and promptly ran off.

The two minor artists didn’t want to stay either, knowing that the more they knew, the more dangerous it would be; it was better for them to make their own escape.

Of course, what they had seen in the private room, they couldn’t possibly speak of outside.

After all...

The leading actress Shi was not someone they could afford to offend.

Some gossip could be spread, but some must rot in one’s stomach for a lifetime.

However.

Gossip was not something they could control.

The thirty-something women hadn’t expected that their group outing would attract so much attention and be photographed because of it.

And become a trending topic on social media.

At first, nobody thought of Shi Yaoguang.

Those who saw only noticed the thirty-something uniquely beautiful women.

Although it was unclear what they were gathering for, the sight of their beauty, which rivaled female stars in the entertainment industry, instantly set the public abuzz.

"These ladies are so pretty!"

"Mom was right, beauties always hang out with other beauties."

"I seriously don’t ask for much, just give me one and I’ll be satisfied!"

"I want one too..."

"Want one +1!"

"Which boss is enjoying such good fortune?"

"Is this the joy of being rich?"

...

While the online crowd was howling, someone picked up on a blind spot.

That was...

The Qingyun Private Room looked very familiar.

At a banquet held by a bigwig from the entertainment industry, although reporters weren’t invited...

...the paparazzi were never absent.

The paparazzi captured Shi Yaoguang also attending the party, and naturally, most of the cameras focused on her.

This was a perfectly normal occurrence; after all, Shi Yaoguang was the leading actress, and it was normal for her to be the center of attention.

If she weren’t the focus, now that would be odd.

But, as luck would have it, the paparazzi captured Shi Yaoguang losing a game and participating in a dare.

Dressed as a bartender, she entered the Qingyun Private Room and never came out again.

This excited the paparazzi tremendously.

What is news?

This is news!

There was no bigger scoop than this.

Therefore.

Seeing that Shi Yaoguang had entered and never left, and after the two minor artists who had gone in with her had left with the thirty-something women and gone back to the party, the paparazzi, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed right away, seeking to tear off a piece of flesh during this opportunity.

They really didn’t dare to offend Shi Yaoguang.

But this time, their photography was completely legitimate!

Pfft, pfft, pfft.

Paparazzi work, indeed, wasn’t exactly honorable.

But! They didn’t employ any sneaky tricks this time.

The photos they released were all real.

Even if Shi Yaoguang had any objections, she couldn’t get mad over genuine photos.
