88: Chapter 89: A Life’s Story (1) 88: Chapter 89: A Life’s Story (1) In the private room.

Jiang Xuanqi felt utterly humiliated after Jian Anning had exposed her secrets; then, she saw Yu Zexiao immediately chase after her.

She was…

utterly mortified.

However, hearing Yu Zexiao scold Jian Anning outside and Zhao Ziyin’s mockery, her spirits were somewhat revived.

Could it be that Yu Zexiao went out to chide Jian Anning on her behalf?

That’s right, men generally don’t like women who are too aggressive.

They prefer someone gentle and delicate like her, with her innocent appearance, which can evoke a man’s protective instincts!

Besides, she had dined with the Crown Prince of Xingmao High Tech before.

But after that, she didn’t have any further involvement with him.

In the entertainment industry, knowing more people meant more opportunities.

Wasn’t socializing just part of the norm?

She might have climbed the ladder by being supported or even kept by other men in the past, but that was all behind her.

At least, for this recent matter, she was “guilt-free”!

With this thought, she no longer felt guilty.

Instead, she straightened her back more proudly than anyone.

Hmph, what did she have to be afraid of?

Compared to her, the “Scandal Queen” Zhao Ziyin at her side had a far more notorious reputation!

At this moment, Yu Zexiao and the others had returned to the private room.

Jiang Xuanqi switched back to her pitiable, tearful persona, slightly bowed her head, and it seemed her false eyelashes covered her eyes, looking as though she had suffered the greatest injustice.

Typical men, upon seeing her in such a state, would likely feel a tug at their hearts, and whatever grand request she had, they would hasten to comfort her without hesitation.

—But Yu Zexiao was definitely not an ordinary man.

He had never been genuinely interested in Jiang Xuanqi, nor did he intend to collaborate with the company for a scandal.

He was purely aiming to annoy Jian Anning, since she wasn’t truly sincere towards him!

Yet, just now, although he didn’t admit it verbally, when he saw Jian Anning’s face turn pale and her body tremble from Jiang Xuanqi’s provocation, he couldn’t help but soften his heart.

Once his heart softened, he naturally couldn’t continue to show the same favorable attitude toward Jiang Xuanqi as before.

Now, Jiang Xuanqi with her pitiful look, adorned with her colored contacts, blinked her large eyes at Yu Zexiao, her soft body subtly tilted, looking as though she would “collapse weakly” into his arms if he only took a step closer!

She had been looking forward to it for a long time, watching Yu Zexiao walk from the door to the side of the table—then, he turned and headed straight to a different table!

“…” Jiang Xuanqi watched, dumbfounded, as Yu Zexiao settled at a table amidst a group of people!

The table where Jiang Xuanqi sat hosted the director, screenwriter, a few main actors from the show, and the interview team.

The adjacent table merely seated stagehands, assistants, and some minor actors!

How could a big star like Yu Zexiao sit with those kinds of people?

Yet, Yu Zexiao did exactly that, heading to the adjacent table and, to her astonishment, he took the seat next to Jian Anning!

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xuanqi’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets!

She even forgot to continue playing the fragile role, staring in shock at the table next to her!

She, a major star, had just been lectured by a mere assistant!

And that Zhao Ziyin was nothing but a recently emerged, scandal-ridden, third-rate host!
