Chapter 487: Chapter 486 Family (4)
Indeed, Xia Siyu seemed to have come out of nowhere; she appeared to have neither a past nor a family, alone and solitary in the world.
During holidays, no relatives came to visit her. In her daily life, there were no mentions of her parents or family. She had never sent gifts to any relative, nor had she ever let family matters interfere with her work.
Except for Chinese New Year’s Eve, when even celebrities had holidays, Little Tang and Wei Jingjing would not be able to manage her, and they would go back to their own families to celebrate. Xia Siyu usually had nowhere to go and would return to her apartment.
But was she truly alone in her apartment? Or could it be that her family was hiding some mysteries?
Originally, Qin Baizhou was merely curious, but now, seeing the sudden change in her eyes, he understood.
Xia Siyu didn’t want to discuss this topic with him, “In any case, Bo Yan and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend, and I don’t want to leave the company. But I will be in contact with him for a while. We will be very careful and will not let paparazzi or other journalists take pictures of us. I have no intention of going public with him.”
She wouldn’t normally discuss such private matters with the company. Since Qin Baizhou knew about it, she simply mentioned it in passing.
Seeing her avoidance of the subject, Qin Baizhou couldn’t press further and could only nod in agreement. After all, even though Xia Siyu seemed carefree and left everything to the company, she actually had her own firm principles on certain matters. Unless she changed her own views, it was difficult for others to influence her decisions.
However, Qin Baizhou had come to one conclusion: the relationship between Bo Yan and Xia Siyu was related to her family.
He had suspected as much before, based on Xia Siyu’s circumstances over the years. He felt that she must have come from a wealthy, or at least middle-class family. Her parents loved her dearly but not in an indulgent way, which made her independent and bold. Moreover, there must have been a deep conflict with her family, otherwise she wouldn’t have avoided mentioning them for seven years. Just now, the moment he brought up this point, her expression changed instantly.
If she could be connected with Bo Yan, perhaps there was also a significant link with the Bo Family.
Furthermore, Qin Baizhou considered that Xia Siyu’s background might be even more distinguished than he had thought.
Why do many entertainers who enter the world of showbiz gradually become blinded by the glitz and glamour? Even those who start off unpretentious can hardly resist temptation. That’s because some temptations are simply not big enough.
For instance, if you come from a middle-class family and a small business owner gives you a sports car worth two million or a house worth several million—a price you could afford by yourself—you naturally wouldn’t be swayed.
But what if what was offered was a plane?
Once, someone in pursuit of Xia Siyu didn’t offer her a plane, but was ready to give her a luxurious yacht worth tens of millions! Yet Xia Siyu didn’t even glance at it and walked away.
At the time, he thought highly of Xia Siyu for being incorruptible by riches, capable of withstanding temptation.
Now that he thought about it again, perhaps it was because she already had such things at home, and she was unmoved by them, naturally uninterested in others’ gifts.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
What kind of family was she from then?
He would have to investigate carefully.
But on the surface, Qin Baizhou retracted his gaze and looked grievously composed, “Siyu, my intention in revealing my feelings to you is not to pressure you or push you away. Liking you is my own affair. You are so wonderful, and there are so many people who like you, I am just one of them. All I hope is that you know my feelings, even if they can never be realized.”
