“No! I don’t believe you.”
Shen Yu’s voice echoed in the huge recording venue. Everyone was dumbfounded. They really did not expect the usually gentle Shen Yu to embarrass Xia Tong in public.
Xia Tong’s face instantly turned red as she frowned tightly. She forcefully suppressed her anger and said in a cold voice, “Since everyone has their own opinions, for the sake of fairness, let the production team investigate the truth. I want to prove to everyone who the real plagiarist is!”
The producer hurriedly went forward to persuade her. “Why don’t we settle it in private?”
“I can’t suffer this grievance for nothing. Since it has already happened, I have to investigate it clearly,” Xia Tong said righteously. “I didn’t plagiarize. I really don’t understand why Shen Yu is protecting this small-time designer. Could it be that there’s a special relationship between the two of you?”
Everyone’s gazes shifted between Shen Yu and Qiao Xi. Ever since he debuted, he had always been clean and had no scandals. Now that he actually had an ambiguous relationship with this designer, the fans present were instantly unhappy.
“Impossible! How could Brother Yu be related to this designer? That woman is obviously a vixen who likes to seduce men. He must have been bewitched by her!”
“Xia Tong is so confident. That designer must have copied Xia Tong’s design!”
Hearing the excited voices of the fans, Xia Tong smiled proudly. “Shen Yu, you’re a Best Actor and a popular male celebrity in the industry. Why ruin your reputation as a plagiarist? Moreover, I think she approached you just to ride on your coattails.”
Shen Yu raised an eyebrow. “She’s trying to ride on my coattails?”
A trace of mockery flashed past Xia Tong’s eyes. “Miss Qiao is indeed very beautiful. It’s understandable that you like her, but if you malign me like this for the sake of the woman you like, it’ll ruin your reputation as a Best Actor! Although I respect you very much, I can’t stop investigating the truth just because of you!”
The entire venue was in an uproar.
Shen Yu’s manager’s eyes turned cold. What was Xia Tong talking about? She was clearly saying that the two of them had an unspeakable relationship, which was why Shen Yu was speaking up for Qiao Xi! She was slandering Shen Yu!
The fans below the stage instantly exploded, shouting to express their dissatisfaction.
Xia Tong’s tone softened a little. “Shen Yu, please forgive my rashness. I shouldn’t have said that to you just now, but you know very well that I’m from the Xia family of Luo City. Although I’m not as famous as you in the entertainment industry, I still occupy a high position. Why would I plagiarize the work of a small-time designer? Wouldn’t that ruin my reputation?
“I really don’t understand. What’s your relationship with her? Why are you protecting her?!”
“I’m her brother,” Shen Yu said casually. His voice was indifferent with a trace of disdain. “Tell me, should I protect her?”
The recording venue instantly fell silent. Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
What? Shen Yu was the brother of a masked designer?
Xia Tong was stunned. Her expression froze, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. “She…”
Shen Yu’s expression was indifferent. “Miss Xia, you’re so young. Why are your thoughts so strange? Why do you think that our relationship is impure the moment you see me protecting a girl? Is malicious speculation a trait of the Xia family?”
The fans also stood up for Shen Yu. Xia Tong’s words just now were to deliberately slander Shen Yu. She meant that Shen Yu was having an affair with the masked designer, which was why he was standing up for her.
Xia Tong’s face was ashen as she said with difficulty, “I… I misunderstood. I’m sorry, Mr. Shen.”
Shen Yu raised an eyebrow. “That’s it?”
Qiao Xi: “…”
‘Brother, there are so many people here. You’re the gentle Best Actor! You have to maintain your image! You can’t ruin all your years of hard work on an impulse!’
Xia Tong panted heavily. She had already apologized, so what else did she want? And this designer was actually Shen Yu’s younger sister? Then why was she still participating in a show like this?
The fans below the stage knew that Shen Yu and the masked designer were siblings. They instantly beamed and praised, “So the masked designer is Shen Yu’s younger sister! Although she hasn’t taken off her mask, one can tell that she’s a beauty just by looking at her figure!”
“She’s the younger sister of the Best Actor. Does she need to plagiarize? This is just a small TV show. So what if she loses? At most, she’ll just go home and inherit the family business!”
