Chapter 791: Whitewashing

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhou Qiyu clutched his phone, his brows locked in a tight frown.

Nie Zehai’s implicit words really were a headache.

At that time, he was also amazed by Xia Xibei’s connections.

She and Nie Zehai knew each other, and he knew it. However, did she really have a thing with the owner of Simu?

That thought startled Zhou Qiyu.

He had been overthinking earlier, and that was why he was confused now!

No matter what kind of relationship Xia Xibei shared with someone else, one thing for sure: there was absolutely nothing between him and Xia Xibei!

Moreover, if Xia Xibei really had had an affair with Simu’s owner, he would be in more trouble if he didn’t step forth and explain his innocence!

He was such an idiot!

He came to his senses right away. He took his phone out and started constructing a Weibo post.

[I’ve had a busy day, and now I’m seeing rumors about myself all over the place (laughing-through-tears emoji). Let me introduce you to my beloved cousin, my ACTUAL BIOLOGICAL cousin! PS: Although Miss Xia and I are both spokespersons of Simu, we have yet to meet each other in person.]

And there it went, another huge splash.

That was his cousin?!

His cousin and Xia Xibei looked so much alike! Could that be just an excuse?

However, there were two photographs attached with the post, one taken from the back and the other from the front.

Although the back in the photo bore a resemblance to Xia Xibei, it was obviously a whole different person if you took a close look!

The photographs that got exposed earlier were pretty blurry, so they couldn’t really make out who it was.

With the high-resolution images on display now, everyone could tell the difference between the girl in the photo and Xia Xibei at one glance.

Nevertheless, it was pretty impressive how she could keep such a slender, attractive figure like Xia Xibei’s despite almost turning thirty.

All of a sudden, a bunch of envious netizens came to leave comments below the post.

Although Zhou Qiyu and his cousin didn’t look alike, she was a modest beauty nonetheless.

Furthermore, with her connection with Zhou Qiyu as a bonus advantage, she would have no problem getting a spot in the entertainment industry at all.

However, she obviously wasn’t interested.

Out of nowhere, people called her Zhou Qiyu’s girlfriend and started attacking her before she even knew what was happening. She was scared witless!

She would certainly have a hard time if she joined the industry!

Right after Zhou Qiyu clarified the scandal, Simu also made a move. They posted a series of photographs on their official account at once.

The first one was a family photograph of three. The man was tall and handsome while the woman was slim and lovely, and the child in the middle was adorable. It seemed to be a harmonious, blissful family.

The second one was a photograph of Xia Xibei with the woman and the child. All of them had genuine smiles on their faces.

The third photograph was Xia Xibei and the child. They seemed to be very close.

And in the fourth one, Xia Xibei was with all three of them.

The background in these photographs seemed somewhat familiar, as they were all taken in the same hotel.

The fifth one was relatively blurry, as it was a screenshot from the Internet with a visible watermark of a reality show.

The background of the photograph was cluttered and teemed with people. It was apparently taken on the street, and a few people in the picture were circled.

[Dang! Isn’t this the child that Xia Xibei rescued from the hands of the child traffickers?! This woman is the kid’s mom!]

The moment someone brought that up, the rest of them also came to their senses.

[Hold on! I’m a little confused, let me figure this thing out!]

Before they could figure anything out, a second post came up on the official account, with captions this time.

[Thanks @Xia Xibei for rescuing the young successor of Simu. PS: Cheers to Simu’s latest sales, we broke our best record! Happy collaboration!]

Whoa!

So the child that Xia Xibei rescued turned out to be the son of Simu’s owner!

So that was how she got her endorsement!

Now that they looked back at it, the timing and the location where the pictures were taken matched perfectly!

When Xia Xibei stood beside Zhuo Yu with the child, Qi Yuntian was right next to them!

Who in the world said she was a homewrecker?!
