I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating

Chapter 118: Explaining it in Person

Before she could ask, the woman looked around. Seeing that there were no other customers in the shop, she took off her mask and hat, revealing a face that Xiang Xiaoyuan had seen countless times.

In the past few years, there had been a lot of newcomers in the entertainment industry. Every year, there were a few celebrities who had made it big in the industry.

Xiang Xiaoyuan did not watch TV shows very often, but she would catch the dramas that had good ratings. For example, the most recent drama that was popular. So when the female lead of the drama stood in front of her, she immediately recognized her.

The woman in front of her was the female star Lin Siqing who had a scandal with Lu Wanggui a while ago.

Lin Siqing was a typical inspirational figure in the entertainment industry. She did not have an affluent background, but she became popular very fast. She was beautiful and attractive. One would know she was a beauty at first glance and would look good in front of the camera.

With her looks, she could definitely be an online star. However, she was very interested and talented in acting. She relied on her acting skills to gain a foothold in the industry, and she’s good at doing business. In addition, her luck was not bad, so it was not surprising for her to become popular.

Some had predicted that she would definitely have a place in the entertainment industry in the future. As long as she put her mind on her acting career, she did not have to worry about winning awards in the future.

But what was Lin Siqing doing here? Xiang Xiaoyuan had a woman’s sharp instinct and felt that Lin Siqing was probably here for her.

Sure enough, the next second, Lin Siqing’s gaze fell on her. She walked forward and smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, are you Mrs. Lu?”

Xu Xiyao, who was tidying up the shelves at the side, turned his gaze to them. Xiang Xiaoyuan winked at him. The two of them had developed a lot of tacit understanding during this period of time. Xu Xiyao nodded to show that he understood, then, he walked towards the storage room, leaving the space for the two of them.

Xiang Xiaoyuan then looked at Lin Siqing and nodded with a smile. “Yes, I am.”

Lin Siqing was about the same height as Xiang Xiaoyuan. Lin Siqing’s looks was one of the best in the entertainment industry, but Xiang Xiaoyuan was not overshadowed at all. In fact, she was even slightly better than her.

However, the two of them were not standing here to compare who was more beautiful. Lin Siqing spoke first. She apologized sincerely, “Mrs. Lu, I’m sorry to disturb you. I’m here to apologize for what happened a few days ago. Actually, a few days ago, I asked someone to help me contact CEO Lu. I wanted to apologize to CEO Lu in person, but CEO Lu replied that there was no need.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was surprised. “Then you…”

“Mrs. Lu, after thinking about it, I still feel that I should explain it to you in person. Otherwise, I won’t be able to live with my conscience.” Lin Siqing smiled helplessly. “I really didn’t know that the paparazzi would secretly take pictures of what happened two years ago. At that time, it was my cousin’s fault. He didn’t separate his work from his personal affairs and used CEO Lu’s car to handle his personal matters. When this matter was exposed, I wanted to clarify it. However, at that time, it was just a small matter. CEO Lu’s public relations department also contacted me and said that the matter had already been dealt with. There was no need to mention it anymore and that it would cause more trouble.”

She paused and smiled bitterly. “Actually, I did gain a lot of benefits from this revelation back then. I believe that you’ve heard how it is in the entertainment industry. At that time, there was a big boss who had a family and took a fancy to me. He hoped that I could become his secret lover. Later, when this revelation was exposed, he was afraid of CEO Lu, so he didn’t dare to pester me anymore.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan did not expect Lin Siqing to even tell her about this. This was considered a private matter. There was no need to explain it to a stranger like her, right?

However, this also proved that Lin Siqing’s apology was very sincere.

“This time, the matter between CEO Lu and I was once again brought up. CEO Lu’s assistant contacted my manager. After the matter was dealt with, they did not want me to come forward and explain. This is because the more I try to explain it, the more people will talk about it. Later, I heard that CEO Lu is already married. I was afraid that this matter would affect your marriage, so I secretly asked my manager to investigate it. At first, I thought that this news was released by my competitor, but after investigating, I found out that it wasn’t done by someone in the industry.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was stunned. “It wasn’t done by someone from the entertainment industry?”

Lin Siqing nodded. “No. I wanted to find an opportunity to tell CEO Lu’s assistant about this, but I happened to be filming at the villa today. I heard that you were also staying here, so I came here by myself. Mrs. Lu, I sincerely want to explain to you that CEO Lu and I really don’t have that kind of relationship. We haven’t even met once. I hope that my relationship won’t cause any trouble between you and CEO Lu.”
