Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 268: Shocking! Yu Xia Publicly Bullies the Rookie Idol

Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Shocking! Yu Xia Publicly Bullies the Rookie Idol

They paid a hefty fare to take a taxi to the suburban grass sledding park, only to find that the pursuers were already there, with two cars parked at the entrance and several men in black suits loitering around, looking about.

Yu Xia and the others only dared to stop a few hundred meters from the destination, cautiously getting out of the car and hiding in the small woods.

"Why are they here so early? We’re just catching someone. Do they have to start so early in the morning like they’re going to work?" she muttered softly.

Xie Qingci had already spotted the children’s playground inside and could vaguely make out a fairly large inflatable castle.

"Places like these should only have an entrance. We need to divert the pursuers, or get someone else to divert them."

"It’s best to wait until everyone arrives. When there are more people, they won’t just focus on us." She frowned, thinking about how to stealthily slip inside later, when out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed a car.

She raised an eyebrow and poked Xie Qingci: "Hey, the people to divert them are here."

The sound of the vehicle rolling over the road came, and Xie Qingci turned his head to see a car with a conspicuous production crew sticker driving in.

It didn’t make it to the entrance but stopped, yet unlike them, this car couldn’t avoid getting noticed by the pursuers at the entrance.

Two pursuers ran towards that side, and Yu Xia and Xie Qingci quickly hid further away, peeking out cautiously from behind a tree.

The car escorting the esteemed fast-forward group screeched to a stop, and after not seeing her for two days, Ling Luo came charging out of the backseat, screaming and dashing madly back along the road she had come from. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Ahhhhhhh, don’t catch me!"

Luo Sheng bolted out from the other side, running like mad too, but in a different direction, as if they were just strangers sharing a ride temporarily, each fleeing their own way at the sight of danger.

Yu Xia and Xie Qingci’s heads turned with them, one watching the limping Ling Luo run farther and farther, the other watching Luo Sheng charge towards the entrance.

Turning back, they almost collided with each other.

Instinctively, Yu Xia leaned back, landing on her butt on the grassy ground.

The forest was covered with fallen leaves, sitting on them made a crunching sound, much like the one in period dramas where the female protagonist stepping on a dry branch while eavesdropping on secrets, conspicuous in a specific setting.

Yu Xia’s hair stood on end, fearing the pursuers running by outside would discover them, she immediately braced against the ground, springing up.

Yes, springing.

Who would’ve thought that after twenty-something years, Yu Xia discovered such martial arts talent latent within, completing this very difficult move swiftly and precisely, avoiding the possibility of being discovered and ducking back behind the tree trunk.

Then she accidentally toppled over Xie Qingci.

Oops, it wasn’t intentional...

The sound of leaves being crushed echoed as Yu Xia tumbled onto Xie Qingci, eyes closed with nothing left to ask for.

Oh heavens, grant her a chance to redo this.

"...Sis, maybe you could get up first?"

Xie Qingci had been knocked to the ground, splaying out from the cover of the tree trunk.

Though he rather anticipated her throwing herself into his arms, she lay on him like a rigid corpse, which was a tad odd.

Besides, the timing and place were somewhat inappropriate.

He didn’t push her off, just patted her shoulder.

The stiff "corpse" wordlessly rolled off, lying back on the ground staring vacantly at the sky.

Xie Qingci wanted to check on her status when a sound of leaves and twigs being stepped on came from outside.

Maybe following the law of "someone always discovers the villain during their wrongdoing," they turned to find themselves face to face and wide-eyed with the panting Ling Luo.

Disheveled all over, tattered stockings, missing a shoe, hair in disarray, eyes red, lips pale, Ling Luo leaned against a tree, staring at them in shock.

"You, you guys..."

Yu Xia: "...Wait, it’s not what it looks like, don’t look at me with that ’caught in the act of assault’ look."

As if she was being so brazen and reckless, openly tormenting Xie Qingci under the camera.

Ling Luo didn’t seem to believe them but still looked at them absentmindedly.

She covered her face in silence for half a minute, immensely grateful for the omnipresent drones.

"Luckily the cameras caught everything, otherwise I’d be... doomed."

Xie Qingci had already stood up, saying nothing, akin to a truly bullied and mute rookie.

The bullet comments provided various sarcastic interpretations.

[Shocking! Yu Xia loses her mind on the show! New idol remains silent amidst bullying!]

[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter! Yu Xia executed that move so skillfully, haha!]

[Yu Xia: Sorry, bro, I fell. Xie Qingci: It’s okay, sis, could you get up? Ling Luo: My god! Are you guys ***(censored) right under the cameras?!]

[Yu Xia looks like a maiden feeling remorse after violating a fine young gentleman, hahaha! / Laughing to the point of holding a lute shying half behind a fan.jpg]

[Hard not to suspect Yu Xia aims for some fourth love activities]

[Did you plan on taking advantage of him all along, just choosing this show and location?]

[Please, just get together. I’m shipping it hard.]

After a period of silence, the three parties digested the situation momentarily, with Xie Qingci finally asking Ling Luo, "Where are the people chasing you?"

Ling Luo hazily replied, "They turned to chase Tan’s group..."

If not for the third group of guests also arriving, she would have definitely been trapped by the pursuers and never seen such a... scene.

Yu Xia patted the leaves off her clothes and stood up, regaining composure, attempting to dispel the awkwardness with serious inquiries.

"There are only three groups left, right? So everyone’s here. We should take this chance to sneak into the sledding park."

By some extraordinary coincidence, the third group was Tan and her real-life husband.

Meaning among the three groups, one married couple, one couple, only their group seemed like a makeshift pair, the control group for analysis.

This made it easy for others to compare their relationship.

Yu Xia dusted herself off again and walked out without looking back, "Let’s go, let’s blend into the chaos."

They quietly sneaked to the edge of the small forest to assess the current situation.

Luo Sheng was nowhere in sight, likely having charged inside, while Tan and her husband were still running in circles with the pursuers, yet to be caught.

"This is a great opportunity," Xie Qingci murmured, "There are tourists over there, we’ll mix in with them and run inside. As long as we run fast enough and have others nearby as cover, we won’t be easily caught."

"The issue is how to run faster?" Yu Xia asked seriously, "I don’t think I can outrun them. Besides, Ling Luo isn’t even wearing shoes—are your feet blistered?"

Ling Luo immediately burst into tears, "Yes, the back of my heels hurt so much, I’d be limping if I wore shoes. I can’t run; you guys go ahead."

Yu Xia: "Relax, we weren’t planning on running with you anyway."

Ling Luo: "..."
