Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 578 - 576: Boss Almost Flips the Table

Jiayi didn’t refuse him anymore, and the two of them slowly walked toward the back.

At the same time, not far away.

Lei Yuanyuan, accompanied by her assistant, had also just finished work and came out of the studio, seeing the backs of Xue Jingchuan and Jiayi walking shoulder to shoulder.

Her annoyance from noon had yet to subside.

Lei Yuanyuan’s eyes darted around, and it seemed as if she were speaking to her assistant but also muttering to herself, "The fans at the front entrance haven’t left yet, have they?"

"How could they have left? Ever since those fans heard that Xue Jingchuan was filming in Yunling, there have been fans surrounding the area twenty-four hours a day," her assistant replied.

Lei Yuanyuan curled her lips, a sly gleam passing through her eyes, and she leaned in to whisper a few instructions.

***

In a golden, glittering seven-star hotel, at the banquet hall on the top floor.

During the meal, a loud "slap" of a hand hitting the table surface startled the wealthy patrons seated there—all eyes turned toward Boss Huo in trepidation—

It was rare for Boss Huo to be free, and on this day, he had coincidentally made time to dine with a group of top-notch coastal magnates, who were eager to flatter the future mayor over dinner.

Halfway through the meal, setting aside official business, the magnates started discussing their personal and life’s trivial matters, creating a rather pleasant atmosphere at the banquet.

Just when they were the merriest, they saw Boss Huo’s assistant bring in a mobile phone.

Upon glancing at the phone, Boss Huo’s expression darkened, and he slammed the valuable device onto the table.

Without Boss Huo speaking a word, the other magnates dared not make a sound, clueless about what on the phone could have angered Boss Huo so deeply.

It wasn’t until some time later that someone dared to speak up, "Boss Huo... is there something wrong?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Huo Zhenyang’s thick eyebrows were furrowed tightly, a suffocating pressure emanating from him. He remained silent, his gaze sliding to the phone.

It was a news post on Weibo that had hit the trending list, with over a hundred thousand shares and comments topping seventy or eighty thousand.

The Weibo post read, "Hot superstar Xue Jingchuan, suspects new romance on set in Yunling. After filming ended, was caught on camera exchanging laughter with a lovely young lady at the back entrance of the set. The young lady is an assistant to the costume designer in Ye’s new production. Although Xue Jingchuan’s agent has denied it, due to the star’s scarcity of female companions in recent years, it still sparks widespread speculation."

Below the text were a series of pictures laid out in a grid, taken from a distance but still clear to see.

The lead male was unmistakably Xue Jingchuan, and even though he was dressed casually in a simple white shirt and long trousers, his striking charm couldn’t be masked. In the photos, he was seen bending his head down, sharing a cheerful conversation with the woman by his side.

Even with the camera zoomed out, the warmth and comfort between them were palpable.

In the photos, the female lead had her back to the camera in several frames. Although her face wasn’t visible, her petite figure, long hair cascading over her shoulders, her slim waist barely a handful, and the slight protrusion of her chest from a side view revealed a lovely figure—

He’d recognize that silhouette even if it turned to ash—

It was that little woman.

All this time, he had indulged her wishes and had not sought out her and her son. So it had been to free up her time—for meeting men?

Ye Yongning’s involvement could still be excused as a misunderstanding, but what about Xue Jingchuan?

Was this a rekindling of an old flame?

He remembered clearly what had happened years ago on Suwang Island.

Right in front of him, she had kissed Xue Jingchuan in that KTV. Even if it had been somewhat out of spite at the time, it had nonetheless dealt him a heavy blow.

His long fingers tapped, and he scrolled through the comment section. As he read the comments, his expression turned even more grim.

"Didn’t they say she’s just an assistant to the costume designer? Could this be a misunderstanding?"

"There’s no smoke without fire. Would Xue Jingchuan personally send off a mere assistant from the costume department?"

"I’m a Chuanbei! Our Jingchuan always keeps a low profile when it comes to relationships. He’s careful not to give the media anything to write about during shootings, never interacting too much with female staff privately. This time it’s almost certainly true!"

"Our Jingchuan is in a relationship? And it was kept so secretive! Oh my god, as a Chuanbei, my heart is breaking!"

Netizens at this time fully demonstrated the reasoning spirit of the famous detective Conan, little knowing that on the other side of the screen, someone’s fury had already been triggered.

"Tell her to get over here," Huo Zhenyang hesitated no longer.

Although several tycoons didn’t know who "she" was in Young Master Huo’s mouth, they felt that this "she" probably wouldn’t end up in good shape.

Ade hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help but wryly smile. Ask Miss Chu to roll over here? It would be difficult enough to politely invite her, let alone tell her to roll.

He said in a low voice, "Boss, the moment I saw the news, I contacted Miss Chu, asking her to come over personally or at least make a phone call to explain to you, but..."

Huo Zhenyang’s eyebrows were sharp as knives, giving off a cold light, "What?"

"Miss Chu said she... is busy," Ade’s back was covered with sweat, truly afraid that the Boss would flip the table.

Luckily, it seemed their own Boss had grown accustomed to Miss Chu’s behavior, and this time he was still rational, though he laughed angrily, "Busy? Busy looking for a man, probably."

She won’t come? No problem.

The moment she refused Ade’s request to come, she should have anticipated that she would face even more dreadful consequences.

The man’s eyes frosted over with icy particles, making a face that was already not very friendly look even more sinister and hard to read.

Suddenly remembering something, he asked, "The photo was taken by a fan?"

"Yes," Ade answered.

"The entry and exit control at the film city is so strict, how did a fan get in?" he wondered.

Ade whispered, "Someone from the crew distracted the security guards, allowing two fans to get near the back door and take the shots."

"Who?" he asked in a deep voice.

"It seems to be Lei Yuanyuan, the second female lead of ’Island Turmoil’. I heard that on that day, Lei Yuanyuan had a little dispute with Miss Chu and made things difficult for her. Xue Jingchuan went to help Miss Chu and gave Lei Yuanyuan a talking-to. Probably to retaliate against Xue Jingchuan, Lei Yuanyuan deliberately lured the fans in and took private photos of the two," Ade explained.

Huo Zhenyang’s brow furrowed tightly. Lei Yuanyuan?

Upon hearing the name, why did it sound so familiar?

Had he just vaguely heard this name at the dinner table?

He lifted his head, his gaze piercing, causing a shiver among the group of tycoons.

"Lei Yuanyuan, who knows her?"

A tycoon paused before raising his hand, "That would be me... my person."

This Mr. Yang, also a tycoon, happened to be Lei Yuanyuan’s patron and the person who had allowed her to invest in the production.

Ade understood the Boss’s meaning and coughed lightly, "This woman has offended Young Master Huo. You know what to do?"

The tycoon was taken aback, and though he didn’t know what exactly had happened, his expression changed immediately. This damned girl, of all the people to offend, why did it have to be Young Master Huo?

He swallowed, "I understand, Young Master Huo."

For these tycoon patrons, discarding one of the many female stars they supported was like giving up a chess piece.

Huo Zhenyang didn’t say anything, stood up briskly, and headed straight for the exit of the banquet hall.

Ade of course understood the Boss was in no mood to deal with these people anymore, and said, "Gentlemen, let’s call it a day—"

After speaking, he quickly followed.

——

The busiest part of the morning on the set was over.

The morning’s work was almost done, and Jiayi was ready to find a corner to grab a beach chair and rest, but then she heard a commotion coming from the photography studio ahead.
