Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1833: Chapter 1833: Rising Star (35)

Qiao Wei was so shocked she couldn’t say a word.

Qiao Wei, after all, was a young lady from a prestigious family. If she continued to cling on, she would really be a third party.

At that time, it wouldn’t be a good story in the circle, but a joke.

Chuzheng’s move of pulling out a marriage certificate was truly bold, even Bastards had to admit it.

Who carries a marriage certificate around with them for no reason!!

-

Since Chuzheng pulled out the marriage certificate, Qiao Xiyu had been utterly tamed. Although she didn’t avoid Chuzheng completely, she would never hang out with her.

After the film crew changed locations, it just happened that the new crew Fu Xingchen joined was next door.

Chuzheng immediately prepared herself to watch the drama unfold — ready to stir things up, sitting every day with a bench, watching the crew next door.

It seemed like the public exposure of Nian Yue and Fu Xingchen’s relationship brought them nothing but bad luck.

They occasionally encountered harassment from fans.

Over this period, Nian Yue appeared much more haggard.

An underground romance brings excitement, that freshness makes the two enjoy it, leaving no time to explore others.

Now that it’s public, they don’t have to think about covering it up, openly being together, but that excitement is gone, leaving them with little passion.

The more bumps they encounter, the more their relationship becomes tense.

Love requires excitement, but life requires stability.

The transition from excitement to stability is the hardest part.

”Clothes.”

Nian Yue frantically searched beside him, her face growing more and more distressed: ”Xingchen... it seems... seems like I forgot to bring it.”

Fu Xingchen had just finished filming and needed to rush to an event; he had reminded her when he left to make sure to bring the clothes, but now she was telling him she forgot.

”I told you today I have to attend an event; how could you forget to bring them?” Fu Xingchen couldn’t help but lose his temper.

Nian Yue didn’t expect Fu Xingchen to be this angry. Although he got angry before, he had never been this harsh with her.

”I’ll go back and get them right away.” Nian Yue held back her tears.

”It’s too late.” The clothes were at his house, and from here to the event location, the timing was tight, but since his house and the event location were in opposite directions, it couldn’t be done in time.

The clothes he was wearing were not suitable for the event.

The more Fu Xingchen thought about it, the angrier he got: ”Can’t you do things thoroughly? How many mistakes have you made recently? Every time I have to clean up after you, Nian Yue, I’m really tired.”

After filming, he still had to tidy up the mess Nian Yue created. At first, he didn’t feel anything, but over time, a sense of irritability settled in his heart.

Nian Yue gripped the hem of her clothes, bowing her head, not daring to reply.

Fu Xingchen’s manager, Hai Wei, said: ”I’ll figure something out; you guys head over there first.”

Fu Xingchen didn’t look at Nian Yue and directly walked out the door.

Nian Yue wiped her eyes and chased after Fu Xingchen.

-

Hai Wei somehow got his hands on a suit and brought it over for Fu Xingchen to change into before entering the venue.

After walking the red carpet and signing autographs, he looked up and saw a girl walking from the end of the red carpet.

The girl was dressed in a black long dress; as she walked, the hem of the dress drew beautiful arcs, and her exposed calves were long and beautiful.

Under the flashlights, she became even more dazzling, making it hard to look away.

Fu Xingchen retracted his gaze and followed the crowd inside; at that time, the others hadn’t entered yet, so he went to the resting room.

He hadn’t been in there long when another assistant rushed in: ”Fu, check this out.”

The photos of Fu Xingchen on the red carpet had just been released. It was initially a time for fan service, but someone pointed out that the clothes Fu Xingchen wore were the same ones Gu Yu had worn at an event before.

If it had just been a black suit, it would’ve been hard to identify, but the set Hai Wei brought wasn’t black and was quite recognizable.

Once the photos were out, people noticed it.

Gu Yu hadn’t participated in any work for over a year, so the clothes he wore must be over a year old.

Fans wondered what they should think and what media speculations would arise if someone of Fu Xingchen’s status was wearing clothes over a year old.

Now fans from both sides were at odds, creating quite a commotion.

”Where’s Brother Hai Wei?”

Fu Xingchen asked the assistant.

”He’s outside...” The assistant quickly called Brother Hai Wei in.

Brother Hai Wei hadn’t had a chance to look at his phone, so he didn’t know about this until the assistant explained it quickly, and Brother Hai Wei’s expression grew heavy.

”Brother Hai Wei, where did you get these clothes?” Fu Xingchen hated Gu Yu the most. Whenever they competed, the winner would invariably be him.

Now he ended up wearing the same outfit as Gu Yu.

And it was over a year later.

Fans were comparing him to Gu Yu now; he could already imagine how fans were degrading him against Gu Yu.

”I borrowed it from a friend...” Brother Hai Wei said: ”This isn’t a big deal, just a case of wearing the same outfit. I’ll contact public relations, and you focus on preparing for the event and don’t get distracted.”

There are many cases where female celebrities wear the same outfit, and nothing major happens, but it does cause some discussion until it blows over.

Fu Xingchen wanted to vent his anger, but in the end, he held it back.

This was outside, and there might be some hidden paparazzi.

Brother Hai Wei went out to make a call, while Fu Xingchen sat there scrolling through his phone. Sure enough, in such a short time, he had already been downgraded by Gu Yu’s fans to the ground.

Things like his height not measuring up, his looks not measuring up, and he couldn’t compare to Gu Yu at all.

Gu Yu was like the seller’s display photo, and he was like the buyer’s feedback photo.

To be honest, Fu Xingchen looked handsome too, each picture meticulously edited, making his legs appear 1.8 meters long.

When seen separately, Fu Xingchen was absolutely in the C position.

But as soon as his photo was placed next to Gu Yu’s, the difference was evident.

Fu Xingchen grew angrier and angrier, his face darkened, almost dripping ink.

”Xingchen... have some water.” Nian Yue carefully handed him a glass of water.

It would’ve been better if Nian Yue hadn’t shown up, as her presence only reminded Fu Xingchen why he was being compared like this.

”I don’t want it.”

”Xingchen...”

”Don’t bother me...” Fu Xingchen pushed the water cup away with his hand, but Nian Yue hadn’t steadied it, so the hot water spilled on his hand, instantly turning his skin red.

”I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry...” Nian Yue hurriedly apologized, flustered: ”Xingchen, are you okay?”

Fu Xingchen looked at the red mark on his burnt hand, and his eyes showed a hint of anger: ”Nian Yue, can you do anything right in one day?!”

And indeed, he erupted in anger.

Nian Yue was yelled at and stepped back.

She didn’t know why; she intended to do things well, but everything just seemed to get messier.

”I’m sorry...”

”What’s the use of saying sorry?” If she hadn’t forgotten the clothes today, would he be compared to Gu Yu?

”I really don’t understand how you do things; even a kid would be more careful than you. What on earth have you been thinking all day long!”

Fu Xingchen unleashed several harsh words, making Nian Yue shed tears.

”Why are you crying? Isn’t this your fault?”

Fu Xingchen, seeing Nian Yue in that state, was annoyed, so he slammed the door and left.
