Ruining Xia Chuyi’s reputation, entrapping Xia Chuyi, then proceeding with the "next step"—this seems to be the other party’s objective.

Therefore, what Xia Chuyi needs to lure out now is this "next step."

Before going to see the movie, Xia Chuyi contacted the director, confirming that she would personally go to pick up the movie tickets.

In fact, she originally didn’t have to go in person, but Xia Chuyi wanted to meet the director, so she decided to go anyway.

Because, after all, the director is in the entertainment industry and knows quite a few media people.

Xia Chuyi wanted to consult on some matters, or rather, she wanted to ask the director for some help.

At the agreed time, Xia Chuyi gently kissed her son and said, "Shi Wu, I’m sorry, Mommy has to go out often during this time and can’t always be with you."

"Be a good baby and listen to grandma, okay?" Xia Chuyi softly said to her son.

As a baby, little Huo Shiwu naturally couldn’t understand.

Huo Shiwu grinned with his toothless mouth, waved his chubby little arms, babbling some incoherent words, as if trying to talk with his mom.

Seeing this, Xia Chuyi felt a bit reluctant.

Seeing Xia Chuyi like this, Mrs. Ou said to her daughter, "If you’re reluctant, then don’t go out."

"After all, you can just have someone bring the movie tickets over," Mrs. Ou said with concern for her daughter and grandson, "You could stay at home and spend more time with Shi Wu."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi immediately shook her head and said, "I’d better go myself."

"I already promised, how can I say I won’t go?" Xia Chuyi said, "Without trust, I wouldn’t know how to proceed."

"As a mother, naturally I need to set a good example for Shi Wu." Xia Chuyi said seriously.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ou shook her head and said, "You... if you’re going, then hurry up and go, the sooner you go, the sooner you’ll return."

"Remember to bring a few bodyguards." Mrs. Ou advised.

"Alright." Xia Chuyi replied.

No matter how reluctant, Xia Chuyi had to go out.

When she arrived at the designated place, the director was already waiting there.

"Chuyi!" The director started waving as soon as he saw Xia Chuyi from afar, "Here, over here!"

Saying so, he came up to greet her personally.

"Chuyi, I’ve already prepared the tickets for you, they’re for excellent showings and excellent seats." The director said, "At that time, the movie’s actors will also be there to interact with the audience live!"

"Do you want to interact with them?" The director asked, "If you want to, I can notify them in advance."

In the past, the director had always been quite nice to Xia Chuyi.

But today, he seemed unusually enthusiastic towards her.

And as for why the director was suddenly so enthusiastic, Xia Chuyi could probably guess the reason.

Therefore, Xia Chuyi smiled slightly and said to the director, "No need, let’s leave the interaction for the actual audience."

Xia Chuyi directly rejected the director’s proposal. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Really don’t need?" The director asked again, "If you interact... you could use the opportunity to clarify those recent rumors about you."

Saying this, the director paused slightly, then said seriously, "I don’t believe a word of those rumors!"

The director’s tone was very firm.

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi felt quite touched.
