Chapter 217 A Scoundrel Trying to Scam Someone, Would She Be Afraid?
Xue Jiashu has been out of the public eye for some time now, and even his agent doesn't know what he's been doing at home.
The paparazzi, carrying cameras, waited outside Xue Jiashu's mansion for several days until the person in question finally showed up.
To the paparazzi's shock, the man, who had always been extremely conscious of his image on screen, was unshaven and looked exhausted.
This look is exactly what someone who has just broken up with their boyfriend would look like. But what kind of breakup could a charming and philandering man who plays with actresses' feelings have?
The first thing Xue Jiashu did after leaving was head straight for Yuhua Mall near the Communication University of China. The paparazzi who stayed until the end looked at each other and instantly understood.
Is it because he still can't let go of that actress named Luo Xiyao?
"Luo Xiyao!" Xue Jiashu saw Ning Yao walking with her two roommates from afar. He called out her name with heartbreaking pain, and his voice even trembled at the end.
The media all pointed their cameras at Ning Yao, who was surrounded by her roommates and classmates, with two or three bodyguards following behind. She had bought a lot of things.
The media glanced at Xue Jiashu, then at Ning Yao, and sighed with emotion.
Ning Yao, as the winner of this public opinion event, is naturally riding high, which makes Xue Jiashu's situation seem even more pitiful in comparison.
Xue Jiashu is a popular young actor with a much larger fan base than Luo Xiyao, yet he still lost.
Ning Yao had developed a sensitivity to cameras. Noticing that there were many cameras pointed at her, she immediately suppressed her relaxed expression while joking and playing with her roommates and became serious in a second.
"Why don't you answer my calls or talk to me? Do you know how much I miss you?" Xue Jiashu ignored everyone around him, his eyes fixed on Ning Yao as if he wanted to pull her into his arms.
Upon hearing this, Ning Yao subtly frowned.
This is probably the peak of Xue Jiashu's acting career.
"Oh? When did you get my private phone number?" Ning Yao saw through Xue Jiashu's tricks at a glance.
Isn't she just trying to stir up a storm of public opinion, saying that she's a cold-blooded woman who seduces and then abandons him? She even colluded with other actresses in the entertainment industry to frame him.
Sure enough, Xue Jiashu actually said that.
“I know you don’t want to rely on my fame to establish yourself in the entertainment industry, and I’ve said I’ll give you space.”
"I told you, I'll divorce my wife as soon as possible. You're the one I love most, so please stop being so temperamental with me, okay?"
"You're so heartless, even setting up a recording and colluding with other actresses to frame me. Don't you know how upset I am?"
Ning Yao was almost amused by Xue Jiashu's words. She sharpened her fox-like eyes and responded without any politeness.
"Xue Jiashu, if you're a man, you should be able to take responsibility for your actions. How can you try to distort the truth, drag me into this, and clear your own name? Your behavior is just too disgusting."
"I recorded the audio to protect myself. As for framing someone, the media storm only lasted a day. How could I have had time to bribe so many actresses? I'm just a newcomer in the entertainment industry. How could I possibly have the ability to frame a senior like you?"
Ning Yao thought Xue Jiashu would refute her, but to her surprise, Xue Jiashu held his breath and refused to say anything more.
He stared at Ning Yao's face for a while, then turned and left without pausing for a moment, as if he were saying his final goodbye to Ning Yao.
Ning Yao was too lazy to argue with him and prepared to continue shopping with her people.
A commotion and a lot of noise came from the other end.
"What is Xue Jiashu trying to do? Is he going to jump off a building and commit suicide?!"
"What are you all standing there for? Take pictures! Take as many as you can! Don't delay me! These pictures will be headlines!"
Cui Mengmeng was speechless. She glanced at Xue Jiashu, then leaned close to Ning Yao and whispered, "Xue Jiashu's acting is so greasy. Does he think he can make the onlookers believe you two are in a relationship like this?"
"He even attempted suicide because of love? I'm dying of laughter. I don't believe he would actually do it..."
With a loud bang, and following Cui Mengmeng's voice, Xue Jiashu actually jumped down.
The third floor of the mall is not low. If you fall, you could be paralyzed on one side, or even die if you land on your head!
Cui Mengmeng opened her mouth, but couldn't utter the rest of her sentence.
Xue Jiashu is a ruthless man. He's willing to risk his life to clear his name and become a devoted lover.
Miao Yuliu and the others realized what was happening and quickly uploaded the footage they had taken to the internet, along with captions favorable to Xue Jiashu.
"I'll upload the video, and you all should share it on your own Weibo accounts. Also, don't forget about your WeChat Moments, spread the word!" Miao Yuliu was incredibly excited. She was being bullied by Ning Yao in the mall when Xue Jiashu appeared—he was truly her savior!
We don't know if Xue Jiashu is dead or not. If he is, Ning Yao will be in serious trouble for someone's life. Let's see how she can stand on her own two feet!
Miao Yuliu ran downstairs, crouching down before the reporter carrying a camera, and pointed her phone camera at Xue Jiashu.
"Mr. Xue, are you alright? Jumping from such a height, aren't you afraid of dying?"
Xue Jiashu seemed to be in a lot of pain; his face looked pale, and although his head hadn't been directly hit, he was still feeling dizzy.
He didn't reply, but simply supported himself with his uninjured arm, looking utterly heartbroken.
"I really hope something happens to me, maybe then she'll look at me more." Xue Jiashu's voice was a little hoarse, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.
He was born with a gentle and refined appearance, which made him very popular with girls.
Many female onlookers around the scene showed expressions of sympathy, some offering words of comfort and others handing Xue Jiashu tissues.
"Was it Luo Xiyao who made you risk your life to jump off the building?" Miao Yuliu's words were very suggestive.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xue Jiashu's eyes, as if he was trying his best to suppress something, and he shook his head through gritted teeth.
Although he didn't say anything, he also didn't clarify Miao Yuliu's question, and his ambiguity only made people more suspicious.
To outsiders, Xue Jiashu was enduring grievances and unwilling to expose Luo Xiyao in order to protect his beloved.
Xue Jiashu deliberately jumped onto the shop's roof to reduce the impact of the landing. He also raised his arms to protect his head and was mostly unharmed.
His arm was broken, and his cheekbone was bruised and bleeding from a cut, which looked quite gruesome.
With his injuries from jumping off the building and his aggrieved expression, Xue Jiashu's image as a devoted lover has been temporarily established.
People have already started complaining about the female celebrity Luo Xiyao, looking indignant as if they are speaking out for justice.
"Luo Xiyao was upstairs. I saw it all. It was Luo Xiyao who forced Xue Jiashu to jump off the building. She's truly the most vicious woman!"
"Being dumped by your girlfriend and then falsely accused of having a messy private life and flirting with actresses everywhere—who would feel good about that?"
"Luo Xiyao has gone too far! Why would she do this? Even a day as husband and wife should be considered a hundred days of kindness!"
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue leaned against the fence and poked their heads out.
Before Ning Yao could pull the two back, a loud cracking sound came from downstairs, and Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue were inexplicably caught in the shot.
"Luo Xiyao is upstairs! Hurry up and catch up with her, don't let her get away!" Miao Yuliu pointed to the third floor and shouted fiercely.
Perhaps there was nothing left to interview Xue Jiashu about, because after hearing Miao Yuliu's words, the media rushed towards Ning Yao like zombies, quickly surrounding her and her two roommates.
"As the roommates of the parties involved, do you know anything about the inside story of Xue Jiashu and Luo Xiyao?"
"What do you think of Luo Xiyao's character? Is she really as heartless and ruthless as Xue Jiashu said?"
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue had never encountered such a terrifying situation before, and they immediately panicked, their palms sweating profusely.
Ning Yao's bodyguards wanted to go in to protect her, but there were just too many people, and they couldn't get in at all. It took them a lot of effort to push aside two or three people, but soon more people surrounded them.
Just as a microphone was about to be poked in Cui Mengmeng's face, Cui Mengmeng screamed and tried to dodge, but she was surrounded and unable to move.
At the crucial moment, a slender, fair hand suddenly appeared in front of Cui Mengmeng's nose and accurately grabbed the media microphone.
With calm eyes, Ning Yao protected Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue, while simultaneously taking out her phone with one hand and quickly dialing a number for her lawyer.
"Attorney Zhou, could you please come over here now?"
"I was scammed by a scoundrel on the east side of the third floor of Yuhua Mall near the Communication University of China."
