A Damsel in Distress (2)
Xi Chengyun and Bai Qi paid for the parking and entered the car. Soon, they drove the car over.
Papa Bai was looking around as he stood at the side of the road.
“Over here, over here!” Bai Qi winded down the windshield.
Papa Bai looked at the Maybach and said, “… Are we going to the grocery shop in this?”
Xi Chengyun paused for a moment before saying, “Let me have my assistant drive another car over…”
Papa Bai opened the car door and got into the car. “Ah, no need for that. Let’s go! We can act cool in this. Why don’t we take the car for a few turns around our area when we are back?”
Su Meixian didn’t know to laugh or cry. “What’s wrong with you?”
“There’s nothing wrong with me. The problem is with Old Dong who stays above us!”
Xi Chengyun turned the steering wheel and asked, “Old Dong?”
Bai Qi had no choice but to explain, “We acquired this flat a long time ago and we moved away when I was in third grade. We returned when I was in Grade 9, and Old Dong, who stays above us, would often make unkind remarks at us. That’s it.”
Bai Qi tried to brush past the actual situation, but Xi Chengyun could tell what he meant.
Papa Bai, who was seated in the back seat, immediately shut up.
The relationship in their family was too complicated.
Papa Bai didn’t mind taking Xi Chengyun’s car, but if they did more than that, it might accidentally imply to Xi Chengyun that they’d like him to help them solve their sticky issues.
The car was quiet and Xi Chengyun was understanding enough to not question any further.
Someone snapped a photo of them and uploaded it online immediately after they had entered the grocery shop.
【Bumped into Xi Chengyun and Bai Qi! Aren’t these them? [Pic]】
【The picture is so blurry. Based on the surroundings, it seems like it's in the South Third Ring region. That area is pretty deserted, and there aren’t any filming sets around… There’s no way Xi-laoshi is there!】
Soon, the person posted another two pictures.
【Look at the car! Isn’t the car Xi Chengyun’s?】
【I think so… It seemed like A-Da had driven the car before】
【Then it has to be them! I saw Xi Chengyun driving the car himself today. Bai Qi came down from the passenger seat. He was wearing a white down jacket. There was also a middle-aged couple behind them!】
The next half of the sentence caused the online community to break into a frenzy.
【My God! Why didn’t you tell us sooner?! Doesn’t that mean that he’s met Bai Qi’s parents?】
#XiChengyun_MeetingParents became a trending topic within half an hour.
The people in the comment section were confused.
【Xi-laoshi was like a God to me, he seemed like someone who didn’t need water to survive. Even a God like him has come down to earth and met Bai Qi’s parents… I. am. so. EXCITED! I want to know how Bai Qi’s parents reacted to him. Did they chase Xi-laoshi out to the streets?】
【How else do you suppose they react? They’d be dancing in joy after selling their son! After all, Xi Chengyun is so rich】
【Why are you being so bitter?】
【+1. Why don’t you shut it if you have nothing nice to say. They went to do the groceries together and were clearly very close to each other. Stop being mean towards them.】
【Am I really being bitter? It’s a known fact that Bai Qi’s family went bankrupt. And come on, how many parents are actually okay with such a marriage? Same-sex marriage was only legalized a year ago. Yet, Bai Qi’s family agreed to it without hesitation. So, why do you think they agreed to that? Clearly, it’s because of Xi Chengyun’s money,】
【What the heck???】
【Bai Qi’s family has gone into bankruptcy before? That means he used to be very rich?】
【How do you know all that? Are you hiding under their bed?】
The comments section was in a frenzy.
Speculative accounts were quick to act and immediately went to verify the validity of the information. Soon enough, they posted newfound information online.
【We think many aren’t aware of what’s happening in Bai Qi’s family. His father is Bai Shan. Although his name sounds very ordinary, here’s a picture of him with the people in charge of the development of the Yi Garden more than a decade ago. [pic]
We’re sure everyone is familiar with the Yi Garden township. It’s the most expensive area in Jing City.
Back then, it was said that they took out a 500 million loan to purchase the piece of land… Imagine; it was worth 500 million at that time.
However, they weren’t successful in constructing the building. It took them around 2 years before they finally received approval to start construction. By then, they were almost out of funds to cover the expenses.
Yet, once they started construction, something came up again. An accident happened at the construction site, and it happened that the government was being extra vigilant about punishing such neglect. Many were sentenced and fined… The most amazing thing is that Bai Shan’s business partner made a run for it… Then, it seemed like the Bai family went bankrupt soon after. To this day, it seems like Bai Shang is still paying off the fines from the incident…】
The internet went crazy after the news was released.
The public relations team of Xi Chengyun’s studio, who were always on guard, immediately gave Shang Guang a call. Shang Guang was stunned when he heard the news.
“Hold on for a second. Let me give Xi-ge a call.”
On the other hand, the netizens were in an intense discussion about the matter.
【They caused an accident at the construction site? Don’t they deserve to go bankrupt?】
【It was news from long ago, and we can’t find any detailed reports about it. Plus, there’s no need to sneer at Bai Qi’s dad. I think the more important issue is to think about why his business partner ran away】
【Stop trying to make it sound better. It’s a fact that Bai Qi’s family needs money. Just you wait and see, they’ll use every opportunity to get money from Xi Chengyun…】
Bai Qi’s reputation grew better by the minute after the streaming of ‘the Perfectly Wedded Pair’. The anti-fans were up in arms.
After so long, they’ve finally found the perfect opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
【Hah, now I suspect that Bai Qi’s first meeting with Xi Chengyun was a carefully planned scheme after all…】
【It’s possible that he’d planned for it… Isn’t Xi-ge part of the Jiang family? The Jiang family is very rich too. Xi-ge likely met Bai Qi long ago when the Bai family was still rich. Many years later, they found each other again, and he fell in love at first sight. Despite that, Bai Qi didn’t fancy him. However, since the Bai family was bankrupt, Xi-ge took advantage of the situation and offered him 5 million to be his maid… Oh my bad, I mean, to be his manservant. Subsequently, they both found themselves entangled in a love-hate relationship】
【Bai Qi would have been reluctant, and due to that, Xi Chengyun might have locked him in a shed for a few days straight and used him like a doll. I’m sorry, I just watched Xi-ge doing pushups a few days ago, I can’t control my imagination】
【Whoa sister, here’s a pen for you】
【I found the reason why a damsel in distress wore a sexy apron on camera! Thank you, I love this relationship development】
The anti-fans were puzzled by the reactions.
The public opinion of this matter was nothing like they’d imagined.
