Chapter 231 - A Lot Of Rumors Come Out

Huo Yun Chen quickly explained the little trouble he had encountered while he went overseas to shoot for some advertisement.

In the end, the problem was resolved and the shooting had ended smoothly.

Since the problem occurred overseas, the people back in their country were unaware of what had happened. This was the reason the news had not reported anything.

Everything should have ended right there, right then.

What he did not expect was that, now that he had returned to the country, someone had leaked about what had happened during his photoshoot. The tabloids had even presented a few pictures as evidence.

Of course, the so-called evidence was nothing more than some pictures taken from a certain angle.

The source of his trouble was no other than his former rival, Yan Yi Xie..

If only he knew that Yan Yi Xie was also taking part in the shooting, Huo Yun Chen would never agree to sign and take this advertisement.

However, there was nothing that he could do. That Yan Yi Xie was a late addition to the crew. This was the reason why he was unaware that Yan Yi Xie would be a part of the crew.

Huo Yun Chen also did not understand that person. Since he did not like him, then, why did he always appear around him?

During the shooting, Huo Yun Chen got into a few arguments with Yan Yui Xie. They were mostly matters that involved small misunderstandings. Fortunately, the arguments were resolved very soon.

During the peak of their arguments, Yan Yi Xie had fallen into the swimming pool.

Because Huo Yun Chen was standing too close to him, the others had thought that it was Huo Yun Chen who had pushed him into the water.

However, it was Yan Yi Xiu who had clarified the matter and told everyone that he had fallen on his own.

Huo Yun Chen did not understand how did this incident where Yan Yi Xie had fallen into the water had arose now that they were back in the country. This time, the tabloids had written that he was the one who had pushed Yan Yi Xie into the water.

Moreover... that Yan Yi Xie had posted something on his social media an hour after the tabloid had reported this scandal. Moreover, from the way he had written his post... although he was not admitting or denying what had happened, his post was almost the same as admitting that Huo Yun Chen had done such things.

Yan Yi Xie's fans did not waste their time attacking Huo Yun Chen. Suddenly, his past arguments with Huo Yun Chen were dug out and the netizen was discussing them again.

Everyone was blaming Huo Yun Chen regarding what had happened in the past.

Song Xing Xing listened to Huo Yun Chen's explanation without interrupting him. Of course, Song Xing Xing still remembered that person, Yan Yi Xie.

Last time, Song Xing Xing had met Yan Yi Xie while she was accompanying Lu Xun to the Red Entertainment Award. She had witnessed how this man had tried to provoke Huo Yun Chen and get him into trouble.

Therefore, Song Xing Xing did not have a good impression of the man.

Just as Huo Yun Chen had finished explaining what was going on during his overseas photoshoot, Song Xing Xing's phone started to ring again.

"Are you still with Huo Yun Chen?" Lu Xun asked as soon as the phone was connected.

"Un. What's going on?" Song Xing Xing did not miss the tension in her boyfriend's voice.

"I have news that the reporters are heading in your direction at this moment.," Lu Xun said. "Someone from that restaurant had revealed to the reporters that Huo Yun Chen was having a meal with a girl. I'm guessing that it was a staff. Xing Xing, Although your face could not be seen, that staff had shot you from behind.  At this time, a lot of rumors had come out."

Her eyes widened in surprise. Song Xing Xing was not expecting that the reporters would be heading to their location. She could almost imagine that the reporters would cook up a story that Huo Yun Chen was seeing someone or anything along the line.

"Ask them to leave the place. Come over to the headquarters. I will be waiting here."

"Alright." Song Xing Xing quickly agreed.

Lu Xun's calm voice over the phone helped her to be more at ease.

"I have contacted your cousin, Song Yi, a while ago," Lu Xun continued. "At this time, the surveillance cameras in the restaurant are now broken. Song Yi is working to find that staff."

Song Xing Xing realized that this matter was more serious than he had thought. Even Song Yi was involved in this.

Of course, Song Xin Xing was aware that if she was caught seen with Huo Yun Chen, she would bring herself and probably her family into the spotlight as well.

While she was visiting her parents in Y City, her parents had mentioned that her eldest uncle was transferred to Capital City.

She definitely could not get herself into the spotlight.

Fortunately, Lu Xun was quick to help her with everything.

After ending her call with Lu Xun, Song Xing Xing quickly relayed Lu Xun's instruction to his assistant. Assistant Lin started the engine and left the place and headed to the NEXT Group headquarters where their big boss was waiting for them.

"Sorry, Little Star. I got you involved in this matter."

"It's fine. Don't think too much. The most important thing is to avoid the reporters first."

However, they did not expect that the reporters would be too enthusiastic. As soon as they entered the main road, Song Xing Xing noticed that a few cars were trailing after them.

Each turn that Assistant Lin made, the cars would follow.

Huo Yun Chen was on a phone call with his manager. He saw the way Song Xing Xing continued to glance behind them and followed her gaze.

His eyes darkened, knowing that he was being followed. Huo Yun Chen looked at his friend and felt sorry that he had implicated her in his matter.

"What should we do now?" Huo Yun Chen asked. "Should we head somewhere else?"

Song Xing Xing bit her lips as she tried to figure out what they should do. "No. Let's just head over to the headquarters."

"Little Star, if the reporters saw you with me..." 

"It's fine. It will be fine," Song Xing Xing said quickly. Lu Xun had told them to come to the headquarters. Song Xing Xing trusted that Lu Xun had everything prepared and was now waiting for their arrival.
