Chapter 260: Chapter 264 Mystery (5)

"Do those women deserve me?" Yu Zexiao raised an eyebrow, he hadn’t thought about it, but he dismissed all other women outright, yet he was inexplicably interested in her.

Jian Anning also detected the implication in his words and couldn’t help but be a bit stunned. Yu Zexiao lifted his head to look at her and of course scolded her, "Foolish woman, why are you daydreaming again? Hurry up!"

"Oh, oh." She nodded immediately, casting aside the strange emotions and continued to try to untangle the knot.

However, the two of them struggled for a long time but couldn’t untie it, just like the chaotic, unresolvable emotional entanglement.

---------------------------------

Meanwhile, behind a floor-to-ceiling window on the top deck of the yacht, there was a large genuine leather sofa.

When Ya Jiayi knocked and entered, all she saw was the dark hair of a head resting against the sofa’s cushion. A wisp of smoke curled up—cigar smoke from a finished stogie. Besides that, the room was silent, devoid of any other sounds or people.

With respectful composure, Ya Jiayi approached and said calmly, "Mr. Situ, everything has been arranged. Everyone aboard that cruise ship has embarked."

"Hmm." The deep voice, like a pebble dropped into a serene green lake, caused ripples to spread.

"According to your instructions, I haven’t let anyone see. I also didn’t contact the artist from Huasi Film and Television that we organized."

There were many acquaintances on this ship. There was no need to mention Leng Yunlin, who had a long-standing connection with Situ Xuan. And Lu Jiayuan, the artist Jiayi mentioned, though not having met her, had heard her voice.

Situ Xuan did not want anyone to know the yacht was his.

"Mr. Situ, what should we do next?" Ya Jiayi asked, her expression full of reverence and admiration for the man.

"We don’t need to do anything." The voice was husky, like leaves falling from a branch, dancing in the autumn wind.

Ya Jiayi was somewhat surprised; they had gone to great lengths and made many efforts. First, they had her use Huasi Company’s investment to directly secure Yu Zexiao as the male lead for the new drama. Then they arranged for Lu Jiayuan to come over to look for news. Of course, when the second male lead had an issue and was replaced by Lu Jiayuan, that was also Situ Xuan’s idea. Moreover, he collaborated with Starlight Entertainment, intending to manipulate the direction of Yu Zexiao’s work for the next year.

And that was not all; they had conceded on most of the issues in the lengthy negotiation with the state government, just to get the government’s early approval. Then, ignoring the piled-up affairs in the United States, he rushed to Huaxia Country. From Yancheng to Shangcheng, after hearing about their sea film shoot, he directly mobilized the company-owned cruiser to follow at a not too close, not too distant range.

When their yacht encountered a dangerous situation, he came over without a word to pick them up.

Yu Zexiao was indeed on that ship. She thought that, at the very least, Situ Xuan would go down to take a look at him, but unexpectedly, he didn’t even show his face, just watched from afar.

Truthfully, even to this day, Ya Jiayi did not understand why Situ Xuan had such a strong interest in a trivial little star. She joined the Situ family late and was unaware of the grudges between their elders.
