Chapter 458: Public Discussion
Mysterious, powerful, steel-like body!
In Luo Pingxiang’s mind, such labels to describe Xiao Luo immediately came to her!
…
…
After returning to his own apartment, Xiao Luo cleaned his wound immediately and applied the potion that Ji Siying had given him.
This potion’s effect was pretty good as he felt as if there was a large, gentle hand caressing his wound after applying the potion. It was a soothing and cooling balm and made him feel comfortable and relaxed. He sat down and went into deep concentration, running the Yijin Jing. Qi started to course through Xiao Luo’s body in a circular motion.
On top of fortifying one’s body, the strength of Yijin Jing laid in its ability to increase the recovery speed of internal and external injuries.
Xiao Luo did not sleep for the whole night, but he was still in good spirits the next day. The wound on his back had already dried up, and it would not tear as long as he refrained from doing strenuous exercise. He expected that it would recover fully within three days.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open without any warning.
It was Su Li who barged in. As she knew the pa.s.scode to the door, she could come in whenever she wanted.
She must have been asleep for the entire day. She did not change her clothes and was still in yesterday’s attire, so it was apparent that she had rushed over immediately after she woke up. Her fair arms were exposed, and she had a thin platinum necklace around her neck, which made her looked demure yet gorgeous. However, her calm look could not hide her anxiety.
“Ms. Su, your habit of barging in without knocking on the door is really bad, what if I was undressed when you came in? Wouldn’t that be very awkward?” Xiao Luo chided, as he had just finished putting on the white s.h.i.+rt and was b.u.t.toning it up slowly.
Su Li ran over, and with a serious expression, she said, “Take off your clothes!”
Xiao Luo was stunned momentarily and said, “There’s no need, my wound has healed up considerably.”
“Take off your clothes now!”
Su Li came even closer, and her face was within inches of Xiao Luo, as she showed her dominant side at that moment.
Xiao Luo could not convince her otherwise, but since he knew that this woman was only concerned about him, he just took off his s.h.i.+rt again.
Su Li walked behind him, and when she saw that wound had already dried up, she could not hide the surprise on her face at all.
“How could this happen? It was such a deep wound only yesterday…”
“I am a martial artist, so naturally I recover faster than an ordinary man. In addition, I have applied a special potion, of course I would heal up faster,” Xiao Luo explained.
Su Li took a brief moment to recover, then she became her usual cold self again and said, “Since your wound is okay now, then let’s go to the police station together.”
“To the police station?” Xiao Luo asked, frowning and wondering if Su Li intended to report him to the police.
“Of course, we have to go, we have to explain to the police clearly about what happened in Bode Villa. If Yang Yuanzhong made up stories, then we might have a hard time.” Su Li said.
So, that was her purpose!
Xiao Luo was relieved as he was worried that Su Li would backstab him even though he had saved her. Honestly, he would be speechless if Su Li was still p.i.s.sed off about what he said last night.
“You don’t have to. While you were sleeping, I have gone to the police station for recording and told them about the entire incident. Yang Yuanzhong has been brought away by the police and he will be facing charges for kidnapping.”
Su Li was a little surprised. “You have gone there already?” she asked.
“Yup, I have,” Xiao Luo replied with a nod.
“Oh, then I have no more business here, I’ll go back and rest.” Su Li turned around to leave.
“Wait a minute.”
“Why? You have something for me?”
“Yup, about the topic we had discussed yesterday on ending our confusing relations.h.i.+p. What is your take?”
“Our marriage is wrong fundamentally and now you also know what kind of a man I am, so we better end this. You and I would both get our freedom back once again, and as you have said before, you would end this relations.h.i.+p when you found a suitable man,” Xiao Luo said, “Since it will be terminated anyway, we might as well end it now, what do you think… huh? Err, what’s going on?”
He realized that Su Li’s eyes had reddened, and Xiao Luo felt confused even as he was speaking.
“Haven’t you heard of the line ‘the organizer reserves the right of final decision and interpretation’ before?” Su Li riposted, containing her tears and smiling mirthlessly.
Xiao Luo was shocked and a question popped into his mind immediately—what did she mean?
“I will terminate it when I deem it suitable, so before that moment arrives, please do not speak about the termination ever again.”
Su Li answered with much anger and then left right after. As she turned around, tears streamed down her cheeks, and she could not understand how this man could be so cold to her. Did he not even consider spending the rest of his life with her at all?
In fact, the thought never occurred to Xiao Luo. Since Su Li had told him that she would terminate the relations.h.i.+p after finding an appropriate man, he naturally did not attach any emotions to her. Although he had feelings for her from time to time, he had intentionally suppressed those emotions.
He sighed, “Alright, let’s see how long can you last in this game!”
…
…
It was another day, and the internet broke out with news on Su Li with sensational headlines in various media.
“Shocking! National Diva Su Li married a long time ago!”
“Su Li has cheated everyone!”
“The mysterious man behind the National G.o.ddess, Su Li!”
“The collapsing of her character—the National Diva Su Li’s scam!”
These eye-catching headings had taken the internet by storm, and more netizens began getting involved in the discussion. Every media platform had over a hundred thousand comments, and there were different voices.
“Don’t bother, it’s s...o...b..z. Many celebrities declare that they are single even when they’re married, this is not uncommon.”
“Who’s that man, sh*t, how can he be so lucky. On top of that, f*ck you, why didn’t you get a clear picture of that man, is your handphone camera resolution that low?”
“So my G.o.ddess had already married someone and become a wife? Oh, my G.o.d, she had lied to all of us!”
“When I think of my G.o.ddess moaning under some random dude, all I want to do is to blow up a bomb in a crowded place for revenge!”
“It’s all gone, I’m done watching her movies and films, no more of her songs for me. I have officially turned from being a fan to a stranger.”
This public discussion had a very negative impact on Su Li, and her Weibo fan-following had dropped from seventy million to fifty million within a day. The numbers were still falling, and her social media was inundated by many fans, all claiming that they were disappointed in Su Li.
Chai Zhiying was as anxious as the ants on a boiling pot; she kept walking back and forth in the apartment, and so did Luo Pingxiang. Su Li’s mother, w.a.n.g Wanjing, and Su Li’s brother, Su Canye, were also present.
To become a superstar was never easy, and the climb was an arduous one, slowly acc.u.mulating the number of fans bit by bit, but it wasn’t difficult to plummet from that position. Staying on top was always harder.
This public discussion had threatened Su Li’s standing with her fans, and it could very well be the catalyst that would end her career!
“What? President Zhang, how could you do that, Li Li is the backbone of our company… h.e.l.lo? h.e.l.lo…”
Chai Zhiying threw the phone aside in disappointment and looked at Su Li. ” Li Li, the company just notified us that they intend to terminate our contractual relations.h.i.+p. Every film making and song recording would be aborted, and this is the board’s final decision,” she said, looking entirely at her wits’ end.
