Huayu: Brother, I'm having such a great time!

Chapter 49 Hero Saves the Beauty

The dinner party ended at 11 p.m.

As Xu Jingxing left the restaurant and sat in the taxi back at the hotel, he had already received Huang Lei's promise.

He was promised the role of Lin Shaoqing in "The First Water of Heaven".

In its previous life, the drama "The First Drop of Water" did not make much of a splash, far less than Huang Lei's first drama "Like Water Flowing Years".

However, Xu Jingxing didn't care about any of that.

She has now successfully established connections with Fan Bingbing and Yi Li, securing television drama resources from Yi Li and film resources from Fan Bingbing, thus gaining access to the high-end entertainment industry.

The next step is to maintain a good relationship between these two major entities.

Fan Bingbing is relatively easy to understand. She was able to get close to Fan Bingbing entirely through her system. Although the boost to her acting skills wasn't as great as her own, it was still a boost, and Fan Bingbing must have realized this herself.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been taking such good care of Xu Jingxing during this period.

Xu Jingxing was not naive enough to think that the man had taken a liking to him.

As for Yi Li, Xu Jingxing felt that he was able to get on her side entirely thanks to Wen Wen.

The fact that she was Wenwen's classmate perfectly satisfied Yili's desire for excitement.

Being in the entertainment industry means more pressure the more popular you are, and everyone has their own ways of relieving stress.

Xu Jingxing himself has become Yi Li's stress-relieving tool.

Of course, Xu Jingxing himself also enjoyed using this decompression tool.

Unlike Tang Yan and Zhang Jiani's naiveté, Yi Li truly taught Xu Jingxing a lesson in the car today.

That's fucking awesome!

Upon arriving at the hotel and getting out of the car, Xu Jingxing spotted a familiar figure.

Mao Xiaotong.

At that moment, a man in his forties was standing next to him, and the two of them were talking about something.

The man did most of the talking, and Mao Xiaotong listened.

I vaguely heard my father talking about family and such.

This man is probably Mao Xiaotong's father.

After paying the fare, Xu Jingxing turned around to head to the hotel when his eyes met Mao Xiaotong's.

However, she quickly avoided Xu Jingxing's gaze and pulled the man away from her.

Xu Jingxing didn't care. Mao Xiaotong had been avoiding him for the past few days, and since he couldn't explain it clearly, he gave up trying.

Arriving at the door, I greeted the hotel doorman with a smile and was about to go in when I suddenly heard a string of curses coming from the direction of Mao Xiaotong.

The shouting was very loud.

Even the doorman couldn't resist casting a gossipy glance at him.

Xu Jingxing didn't want to get involved, since it was their family matter, so he quickly walked towards the elevator.

As he walked, Xu Jingxing couldn't help but recall Mao Xiaotong's slender figure.

Then, he stopped.

His steps began to turn backward uncontrollably, and he even quickened his pace.

Upon arriving outside, Xu Jingxing saw that no matter how much the man cursed, Mao Xiaotong always held her head high, glaring at him angrily, showing none of the timid and submissive demeanor she usually displayed on set.

The man seemed to be annoyed by Mao Xiaotong's gaze, and his cursing gradually subsided. But soon, he realized that his daughter dared to disobey him. In order to maintain his dignity as a father, he raised his hand, ready to slap her to regain his so-called authority.

Just as the slap was about to land, Xu Jingxing appeared in time and stopped the slap from hitting Mao Xiaotong's face.

Upon seeing Xu Jingxing appear, a glimmer of light instantly appeared in Mao Xiaotong's previously despairing eyes.

"Who the hell are you?" the man exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Jingxing, standing at 1.88 meters tall, suddenly appearing in front of a man who was only a little over 1.7 meters tall, was indeed somewhat intimidating.

"Uncle, let's talk this out."

The man was Mao Xiaotong's father, and Xu Jingxing, as a friend, couldn't say anything harsh, so he could only offer some gentle advice.

"Who the hell is your uncle? Get lost, this is none of your business." The man shook off Xu Jingxing's hand and pointed at him, cursing as he spoke.

"The Joseon Dynasty!"

Suddenly, Mao Xiaotong yelled and shoved the man. Her slender figure seemed to release all the pent-up energy in an instant, pushing the man five or six meters away.

"Damn it, you good-for-nothing, you unfilial wretch, you dare to hit your own father?"

After saying that, he raised his foot to kick Mao Xiaotong.

Just as the kick was about to hit Mao Xiaotong, Xu Jingxing quickly stepped in front of Mao Xiaotong and used his back to block the kick for her.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud came from Xu Jingxing's back.

Xu Jingxing only felt a tightness on his back, but didn't feel much pain.

Li Chao weighed at most 110 jin (approximately 65 kg). If he were to actually fight, he could easily handle three people at the same time.

"The Joseon Dynasty!!"

Seeing Xu Jingxing take a kick for her, Mao Xiaotong's emotions exploded in an instant. She grabbed an ice cream cone from the side, raised it, and threw it at Li Chao.

Although Li Chao was small in stature, he was more than capable of dealing with Mao Xiaotong.

He snatched the ice cream cone from Mao Xiaotong's hand, threw it on the ground, and then tried to hit Mao Xiaotong again.

"I...I called the police!"

Just as Xu Jingxing was about to kick Li Chao away, the doorman's voice came from behind him, "If you don't leave, the police will be here soon."

The doorman looked to be just an adult, and the people who usually came and went from the hotel were all from various film crews. He had never encountered such a scoundrel before. His voice was trembling, but he still bravely stepped forward.

Upon hearing that the police had been called, Li Chao's eyes darted around. After hesitating for a while, he decided that it was not a good place to stay. He left behind a few harsh words, hailed a taxi, and hurriedly left.

"Are you alright, Jingxing?"

Seeing Li Chao walk away, Mao Xiaotong quickly ran towards Xu Jingxing. The tears in her eyes could no longer be held back, and like a dam breaking, they burst forth all at once.

"I'm fine, it's like a tickle." Xu Jingxing smiled and jumped around a few times. "See, I'm really fine."

"I'm sorry, Brother Jingxing, it's all my fault." Mao Xiaotong cried, leaning on Xu Jingxing's shoulder.

"Young man, quickly make a call and tell them that we don't need to send any officers. Don't trouble the police officers to make this trip."

While comforting Mao Xiaotong, Xu Jingxing also made sure to ask the doorman to call the police again.

The doorman scratched his head and chuckled a few times. "Brother, I was just bragging. I didn't call the police at all. We're not allowed to have our phones on us while we're on duty, hehe."

Seeing Mao Xiaotong perched on Xu Jingxing's shoulder, the doorman tactfully said, "Brother, you go ahead with your work. I'm going to stand guard now, or the lobby manager will scold me later."

Xu Jingxing could only give a thumbs up to his departing figure.

witty!

After a while, Mao Xiaotong raised her head, her emotions having calmed down somewhat. Looking at the patch of cloth on Xu Jingxing's shoulder that was wet from her crying—she couldn't tell if it was snot or tears—she spoke haltingly, frequently interrupted by her own hiccups.

"Brother Jingxing, why don't you come to my room and I'll wash your clothes for you?"

"It's okay, no need to bother, I'll just shake it off myself when I get back."

Last time, Xu Jingxing couldn't explain himself after going to her room, so he didn't dare go again.

"You've been there before," Mao Xiaotong said softly, her voice thick with a nasal tone. "Anyway, you've seen everything."
