Chapter 187: Chapter 187: The VIP Paved with Money (Extra Monthly Pass Chapter! Intense Update Begging for Votes!)

Luo You smiled mysteriously and patted Zhang Dayou on the shoulder, saying, "There’s no new discovery, I just guessed how the Li Family would handle the situation.

After this leak, not only will the Li Family not trouble He Jinxia, they will also call Li Li back home and stop her from being a celebrity, to avoid further chaos."

He explained, "Li Li’s family has military connections and only recently ventured into business. People related to the government have every move watched as it can affect many people’s nerves. It’s okay for Li Li to party wildly outside, but she absolutely must not involve her family.

For such high-ranking families, keeping a low profile is a protective color. Now that Li Li’s background has been exposed, her family will not let her re-enter the entertainment circle, let alone go after He Jinxia."

Perhaps thinking of something, Luo You smiled again, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes: "Even if they were to look for someone, they’d go after Wu Daxi first."

Zhang Dayou frowned, still looking at Luo You with confusion. Although the explanation made sense, it still seemed a bit far-fetched.

Maybe Li’s family was exceptionally open-minded?

Among so many people, there would always be one or two exceptions.

Moreover, to attack Li Li based on just this guess was entirely unlike Luo You’s usually composed character.

From the side, Luo You’s voice continued, "Brother Da You, the Li Family will probably take action soon, so you’ll need to keep an eye on them. I’m going to buy a couple of boxed lunches."

Zhang Dayou came back to reality and nodded, turning his head to look at the surveillance data on the large screen.

Regardless, as long as the outcome was good, that was all that mattered. If Luo You had some hidden trump card, he wouldn’t tell Zhang Dayou no matter how he asked.

Elsewhere, immediately after getting off the plane, the film crew with He Jinxia originally intended to exit through the regular channel, but Dong Qiin suddenly received a phone call, changed the color on her face, and switched to the VIP exit instead.

As their film crew wasn’t a well-known large crew, and although the actors were popular, they weren’t considered celebrities, which are generally reserved for top-tier stars.

Therefore, when they asked to use the VIP channel, the airport charged them several dozen Huaxia Coins per step, per person.

With everyone walking hundreds of steps, tens of thousands of Huaxia Coins were spent in vain; it was truly a VIP path paved with money.

Once in the car and away from the airport, Dong Qiin finally took a breath and, with a stern face, asked, "Li Li, how come you suddenly ran out crying during the photo shoot at the magazine office this afternoon?"

Wu Daxi had felt something was off as soon as Dong Qiin opted for the VIP channel. He immediately opened his phone, and as soon as they left through the channel and got into the car, he accessed the browser and found his intimate photo with Li Li all over.

After reading a few news articles, Wu Daxi had a rough understanding of what was happening. Seeing Dong Qiin questioning Li Li, he also raised his head to look at Li Li, his eyes filled with confusion and concern.

He didn’t understand how Li Li could suddenly start crying and run out of the magazine office, especially since he had only been taking photos with He Jinxia that afternoon.

Seeing Dong Qiin interrogating Li Li, He Jinxia suddenly realized something might have happened to Li Li. She immediately turned on her phone.

The screen showed a message from Sheng Yan among the W chat notifications she received.

He Jinxia’s eyelid twitched, a sudden bad premonition flooding her heart.

Thus, she selectively ignored the messages in W chat and instead opened W blog.

As soon as the W blog was opened, the phone froze completely.

He Jinxia patiently waited for it to recover, listening to Li Li’s flustered voice: "I—I just remembered something sad, so I cried. What’s the matter?"

As she finished speaking, He Jinxia’s Weibo finally returned to normal, and was usable again.

Seeing the "999+" mentioned comments, He Jinxia felt an even stronger bad premonition.

She opened the mentioned comments, all uniformly saying, "Thank goodness the goddess isn’t dating Wu Daxi", "Goddess being single is awesome," "Goddess, you are fine, Wu Daxi has Li Li, you stay out of it"...

Spotting several key words, He Jinxia furrowed her brows, a trace of confusion crossing her eyes, Li Li and Wu Daxi?

She returned to the main page to check the Weibo post she’d made at 7:05 PM, Luo You’s handiwork, and casually refreshed the topic square where everyone was discussing Wu Daxi and Li Li as a couple.

As the most important starting post He Jinxia was still searching, but could not find it, after a period of silence in the car, Dong Qiin spoke again, her face exceptionally serious, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Wu Daxi and Li Li.

She said in a deep voice, "Li Li, Wu Daxi, I don’t care what’s really going on between you two, but now is a critical promotional period for the crew, and I don’t want to see such negative news during further promotions, otherwise, I’ll sue you for breach of contract in court!"

She even mentioned the court, it seemed that Dong Qiin was really angry this time.

When actors sign contracts with production crews, there’s typically a clause—that no negative news can break out during the movie’s filming and promotional period, and the boundaries of this clause are quite vague.

What counts as negative depends on the person.

For instance, for a celebrity known as a playboy, news about getting a new girlfriend and breaking up during the shoot and promotional phase doesn’t count as negative.

But for a male celebrity who’s crafted a pure and innocent persona, starting a relationship during this period would definitely be considered negative news.

Once a persona is established, it’s like water thrown out—it can’t be taken back. The fans have accepted your image of purity, fantasizing about you as if you were their boyfriend. Suddenly starting a relationship would force the fans to un-fan, wouldn’t it?

Luckily Wu Daxi had not established such a persona, but unfortunately for him, his fanbase largely consisted of girlfriend fans.

Dong Qiin wanted the movie to gain high attention, but she didn’t want to use negativity as a means to attain it.

Especially since she had played the "He Jinxia’s screen first kiss" gimmick—how would they promote that now when Wu Daxi and Li Li being a couple had leaked?

The more she thought about it, the more Dong Qiin wanted to remove Li Li from the crew.

Had she known this woman could cause such trouble, she would never have allowed the investors to force someone into the cast!

The car was silent, Li Li felt incredibly wronged, completely unable to understand—was it just crying while running out of the magazine office? Such a small matter, why was Dong Qiin so furious, even pulling her relationship with Wu Daxi into it...

Li Li stiffened, wait a second, how did Dong Qiin know about her relationship with Wu Daxi?

Li Li instinctively looked up at Wu Daxi, who was deeply frowning. Noticing her gaze and realizing she didn’t understand anything, he handed her his phone.

The car kept driving, everyone in deep silence.

Upon reaching the hotel and everyone was about to get off, Li Li weakly said, "Director Dong, I’m sorry."

Dong Qiin paused as she was opening the door, ignored her, and got out.

He Jinxia also hurriedly got off the car, and so did Song Zilin.

As they entered the hotel, He Jinxia looked back—Li Li and Wu Daxi hadn’t gotten off.
