Chapter 261 The Person Behind the Scenes
Chapter 261 The Person Behind the Scenes
Although the woman had her face covered with long hair, Ouyang Jiahui still recognized her; this woman was also at the audition with Gu Xinyan. Who would have guessed she had a secret affair with Liu Yuxing.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Wenwen, Brother Liu, why is it you two? Where is Gu Xinyan?"
Liu Yuxing, with blood on his lips, struggled to get up from the bed and shouted angrily, "Get out, all of you! Who told you to barge in here, visiting a zoo?"
When Liu Yuxing threw off the quilt and got out of bed, Ouyang Jiahui was so frightened she covered her eyes and left the room. Dongfang Bai patted her soft shoulder and laughed, "No need to be afraid, he’s wearing shorts."
The door of room 318 slammed shut, causing dust to fall from the walls. Then the door opened again, and Gu Xinyan’s wheelchair was thrown out forcefully, hitting the wall heavily, bending the steel ring, one of which rolled to the end of the corridor.
Ouyang Jiahui clutched Dongfang Bai’s arm tightly, "Let’s go quickly; the scene is filthy. My little heart can’t take it."
Xiao Lin and Xu Xiangbei were waiting for Ouyang Jiahui at the hallway’s safety exit.
Seeing Xiao Lin silently shedding tears, Ouyang Jiahui felt sympathetic and pulled out a tissue from her purse to wipe Xiao Lin’s tears.
She comforted Xiao Lin, "You broke up with him long ago, why still think about him? After he became famous, he ignored you and told you to cut ties. You still haven’t changed your mind, but infatuation is always hurt by indifference."
Xiao Lin, sitting on the stairs, shook her thin shoulders and cried like a child, "I always thought he broke up with me for his career. I also agreed to the breakup for his career. I just wanted to support him quietly, to see him succeed. It turns out it was all a lie; he simply doesn’t love me anymore."
Dongfang Bai sighed, "Liu Yuxing will face a downfall now. By tomorrow morning, all the headlines will be his photos."
Xu Xiangbei wore a look of helplessness, "Liu Yuxing, he’s a bastard, brought this on himself. He doesn’t love you, so why keep thinking about him. But can someone tell me, where exactly is Gu Xinyan?"
Just as Xu Xiangbei was racking his brain trying to figure out where Gu Xinyan was, his phone suddenly started vibrating. He then remembered that in his rush to find Gu Xinyan, his phone had been on silent mode.
An unrecognizable number was calling, to be precise, the real number was blocked and only four asterisks showed.
Instinctively, he felt this call was related to Gu Xinyan’s disappearance. Xu Xiangbei asked nervously, "Who is this? Is it Gu Xinyan?"
A tender, familiar laugh came from the phone, then a teasing song, "Doctor Xu, are you looking for your girlfriend? Your love has vanished, to whom will you cry your grievance? Come to room 319, we’re waiting for you."
Xu Xiangbei recognized the voice; it was none other than the mysterious Jenny.
He asked in surprise, "Jenny, is that you?"
Jenny laughed flirtatiously on the phone, "It’s me. Come quickly, we’re waiting for you."
Xu Xiangbei and his group arrived at room 319, hearing elegant music coming from inside. The door wasn’t locked and opened with a light push.
From the doorway, they immediately saw Jenny, dressed in black biker leather, lounging leisurely on the sofa eating sunflower seeds.
Jenny, upon seeing Ouyang Jiahui, couldn’t help but laugh almost to the point of choking on her seeds, "Pomelo Head, you came too? I really don’t get your Earth Sea people’s taste, parading that hairdo."
Unconvinced, Ouyang Jiahui glared at Jenny, "Those without taste will never have taste."
Xu Xiangbei saw Gu Xinyan sitting quietly on the sofa; her expression was complex with worry, sadness, and a hint of pity.
She still showed a trace of apology on her face, "Brother Xu, I’m here."
Seeing that Gu Xinyan was unharmed, Xu Xiangbei finally relaxed, "Silly girl, are you okay? Were you scared?"
"No, it’s just that everything happened so suddenly."
As Xu Xiangbei approached Gu Xinyan, he noticed a young man sitting on the floor in front of her with a bruised face, his cheeks swollen into purplish puffed eyes, making him unrecognizable.
The man saw Xu Xiangbei enter the room, and his eyes, swollen to a slit, slightly opened. Indifferently, he turned his face aside unwillingly, suggesting he knew Xu Xiangbei.
No doubt it was Jenny’s doing. Xu Xiangbei asked in surprise, "Who is this?"
Gu Xinyan wanted to say something but didn’t. Jenny stretched with a lazy demeanor, "He’s your girlfriend’s relative."
Upon hearing he was a relative of his girlfriend, Xu Xiangbei had a flash of insight, and a name came to him, "Gu Jie?"
It turned out to be Gu Xinyan’s cousin, Gu Jie, who had returned from studying in the U.S.
Seeing the baseball cap thrown on the ground, Xu Xiangbei seemed to understand something; the young man who kidnapped Gu Xinyan wasn’t Liu Yuxing, but Gu Jie.
Jenny gently leaned on Xu Xiangbei’s arm with an ambiguous expression, "I’ve saved your girlfriend again. How will you repay me?"
Xu Xiangbei felt intrigued, "Hehe, do you want me to offer myself?"
Jenny’s slender, fair fingers waved as her gaze lingered on Dongfang Bai’s handsome face, smiling coquettishly. She let go of Xu Xiangbei and walked over to Dongfang Bai.
Her laughter was particularly unrestrained, "Little handsome, if you offer yourself, I’ll accept."
Dongfang Bai actually blushed under her gaze, his handsome face flush with red, remaining silent.
Ouyang Jiahui pouted with a slight anger, much like a lioness protecting her cub, stepping in front of Dongfang Bai and baring her teeth at Jenny, "Shameless! Don’t you dare think about my brother."
Jenny stuck out her tongue with disdain, mocking, "Pfft, I was only joking; look how scared you are. You don’t also love your cousin, wanting a close relative marriage, right? Then what you have would be little monsters."
Ouyang Jiahui turned red with anger, "You’re the little monster. Nonsense!"
Xu Xiangbei smiled wryly; Ouyang Jiahui and Jenny were like water and fire, always bickering when they met.
Xu Xiangbei interrupted their bickering, somewhat frantically asking, "My great detective Sherlock Holmes, can you tell me how Gu Xinyan ended up with you, what exactly happened? Hurry and tell me, I’m about to go crazy."
"Hehe, it’s all this pretty boy’s tricks. I’m too lazy to explain. Pretty boy, you tell him clearly."
Gu Jie appeared resentful and defiant, ignoring Jenny.
Jenny sneered contemptuously, widening her delicate eyes, "You got guts, huh? Speak up, or I’ll strip you and throw you on the street."
