339 Time to Pay Up
Lu Ailian, who preferred boys over girls her entire life.
Lu Ailian, who had always been proud of her grandson and mocked those who only had granddaughters, was now in a very bad mood.
To her, nothing was crueler than this.
To tell her that her grandson was actually a girl was no different from dismembering her.
Moreover, she was dismembered in front of everyone.
Lu Ailian was helped to the back to rest. The show finished and the guests took the opportunity to say goodbye to Xu Jinzhe.
After they left, Xu Jinzhe saw Su Cunyi.
“It doesn’t matter. Xu Ni is a good child.”
After saying that, Su Cunyi took a step forward and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “it’s harder for her to do this.”
After saying that, Su Cunyi patted his shoulder.
After a long while, Xu Jinzhe sighed and nodded.
Pei Huai also walked forward. He was here to pick up Su Ji. When he passed by Xu Jinzhe, he stopped.
Xu Jinzhe, “CEO Pei…”
Pei Huai said, “it’s a good thing she’s a girl. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let go of the fact that my girlfriend and her were photographed together.”
Xu Jinzhe looked up and saw Si Jingchuan striding onto the stage and walking towards Xu Ni. Everyone was worried, but he was ecstatic.
He was so excited that he wanted to hold Xu Ni’s hand. “You’re actually a girl? No wonder I…”
Xu Ni slapped his hand away in annoyance. “Don’t touch me. A single man and woman shouldn’t touch each other.”
Xu Jinzhe was still at a loss. At this moment, he still didn’t know this was good news for the Xu family!
In just a few minutes, the news had blown up on the internet.
The young actor was actually a woman who had captured the hearts of all the older women!
When Han Junlei and Huang Huayu were stopped by the paparazzi who had first-hand information, the two of them were drinking beer at a roadside stall.
When they were asked what they thought about Xu Ni’s cross-dressing, the two men were drunk and answered awkwardly, “dressing up as a boy? No, no, he was dressed up as a girl that day, hahahahaha…”
The paparazzi was then driven away by the smell of alcohol on the two.
It was different from the general reaction of the guests at the reception.
The netizens were able to accept the fact that Xu Ni was a girl. Some netizens who didn’t like her at first even started to be attracted to her after knowing that she was actually a girl.
Of course, when the news first came out, everyone said that they didn’t believe it and asked them to stop spreading rumors. How did such ridiculous rumors even spread?
But later, when they saw the side profile photo of Su Ji holding Xu Ni’s hand on the stage, the short-haired Xu Ni dressed in women’s clothing, and Su Ji who was shining beside her like a light, wearing a matching dress, the netizens were shocked!
[ “Do you remember the intimate photos of Su Ji and Xu Ni?” ]
[ “It turns out that they have a deep sisterly love! Thank God I wasn’t misled by the media!” ]
[ “She gave courage to her bestie at the most important time! This is true friendship! They’re siblings in and outside the show!” ]
[ “I’ll be honest, I like Xu Ni’s face. I like her regardless of whether she’s a man or a woman!” ]
[ “As long as she likes men!” ]
[ “Exactly!” ]
[ “I knew that such a handsome person must be a girl!! We will always support you!” ]
[ “I’ve decided to watch The Billion Stars again! This is as shocking as when I found out that Xu Xian was a woman dressed as a man!” ]
Xu Ni and the others returned backstage. Xu Jinzhe was left to deal with the aftermath.
Su Ji asked Xu Ni, “how do you feel?”
Xu Ni looked calm and cold as usual, but her heart had not calmed down.
She lit a cigarette and sat down in her exquisite dress. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, “I finally don’t have to hide. It’s so f * cking awesome!”
Si Jingchuan’s eyes were glued to her.
He didn’t say anything and just looked at her from the side.
It was as if he had discovered a new continent.
It was strange that Xu Ni looked particularly cute now with short hair.
He even found her very cute when she smoked.
His effort to learn how to date a man was in vain.
Su Ji found the photo of the two of them that went viral. After looking at it for a while, she nodded in satisfaction and showed it to Xu Ni. “This photo will probably be on the internet for a few months.”
Xu Ni took a glance and looked away.
Su Ji replied, “do you want to know what the netizens think about the news?”
Xu Ni didn’t hesitate. “No, I’ve been sulking for 18 years. Today, I’m living for myself. No matter what they say, it’s the truth. I can’t control other people’s mouths.”
Su Ji clicked her tongue and smiled.
Pei Huai didn’t look at his phone again. His gaze fell on Qin Bingjie, who was not far away.
Qin Bingjie’s face was streaked with tears, but her expression was unprecedentedly relaxed and calm.
A moment later, Su Ji noticed Pei Huai’s gaze.
Pei Huai looked at Su Ji. “Did you take her pulse today?”
Su Ji tilted her head as if she had just realized something.
Ten minutes later, a staff member came to call them. “Who’s from the Xu family? ”
Xu Ni stood up.
That staff member said, “the old madam has woken up. Quickly go and take a look!”
A few minutes later, they moved to the lounge next door. Lu Ailian was lying on the sofa, her face as pale as paper.
“Grandma,” hearing Xu Ni’s voice, Lu Ailian slowly opened her eyes. The next second, she saw Xu Ni still wearing her dress and turned her head away in disgust.
Xu Ni had never seen such an expression on her face. She was hurt, but not much.
Su Ji had brought Qin Bingjie to her. The two people that Lu Ailian did not want to see the most were Xu Ni and Qin Bingjie, but they refused to leave her.
However, Lu Ailian was still herself. Even at this moment, she remembered that she could not offend the big shots. Seeing Pei Huai standing beside her, she forced herself to sit up. “I’ve made a fool of myself in front of CEO Pei…”
Pei Huai didn’t say anything and let Su Ji and Qin Bingjie walk in front.
Su Ji said, “Old Madam Lu, Aunt Qin…”
Lu Ailian quickly waved her hands. “You don’t have to plead for her. She has lied to me for 18 years. Our family used to be related to the royal family, and no one has ever dared to play such a trick on me…”
Before she could finish, Su Ji chuckled and interrupted her. “You’re mistaken. I’m not trying to plead for anyone.”
Lu Ailian looked at her in confusion, “?”
Su Ji said, “we just checked on Aunt Qin. She has recovered. It’s time to pay up.”
