Priceless Baby's Super Daddy Chapter 4 - The Storyline Was Changed Too Fast

Having his arm released, Huo Yunshen let go of her grasp.

Xu Xiyan seized the opportunity and made her escape.

Emerging from the hotel into the bright sunlight, Xu Xiyan tilted her head up towards the vast blue sky and inhaled deeply.

Everything is alright now.

Last night wasn't all bad. She had spent it with a strikingly handsome man. She had also witnessed the depths of human cruelty and the repulsive visages of the deceitful man and woman who surrounded her.

Starting from this day forward, she vowed to cease accommodating others and relinquish living for anyone but herself. Her path would be her own, and she would live solely for her own benefit.

Steeling her resolve, Xu Xiyan moved forward with purpose. Her posture was erect, her bearing unyielding. Ahead of her lay a verbal confrontation, a battle of wits!

She was eager to witness the schadenfreude of certain individuals within the Xu family.

Merely a few hours after the incident, a scandalous headline emerged, proclaiming, “The Heiress and a Stranger Caught in a Hotel Rendezvous, Discovered by Her Father in the Act,” which swiftly disseminated like wildfire.

The news spread across the internet, Weibo, and was eagerly passed along by netizens.

Despite the report’s reference to a “rich girl,” her face was unmistakably visible in the accompanying photograph.

Given her highly distinctive features, the ever-curious netizens swiftly deduced that she must be the daughter of a certain director.

“Director’s Daughter and Unknown Man Engage in Amorous Liaison” rapidly ascended to the status of a trending topic. Casually browsing Weibo, Xu Xiyan found herself subjected to harsh criticism from strangers.

[Her appearance suggests innocence, yet she's a manipulative harlot. The slut has been identified!]

[What a depraved industry. Does a director’s daughter resort to prostitution? Unbelievable!]

[Are young women today willing to do anything for fame?]

[Most likely, the director is orchestrating a publicity stunt to promote his dreadful film!]

[What a complete whore. She’s not bad-looking. I wonder what her going rate is for a night?]

...

The tide of public opinion was overwhelmingly one-sided, rendering it difficult to discern the truth. For anyone privy to the inner workings, it was immediately apparent that someone was deliberately shaping and manipulating the narrative.

Xu Xiyan let out a derisive scoff. Xu Xinrou's methods were undeniably insidious. What a quintessential 'white lotus' with profoundly convincing acting skills!

When one reaches the nadir, it becomes remarkably easy to identify one's true allies. Amidst the barrage of accusations, only her closest confidante, Fang Xiaocheng (translator’s note: “Xiaocheng” implies little orange), exhibited genuine concern for her well-being.

“Hey, hello, Yanyan, have you seen the news about yourself? You've made the headlines! What happened last night? How did you…?”

Unperturbed by the unfolding scandal, Xu Xiyan felt a peculiar sense of gratitude. “Orange, thank you so much. Had your actor acquaintance not intervened and averted disaster, I might have been in a truly dire situation.”

Fang Xiaocheng, failing to comprehend her elation, responded with evident distress, “Yanyan, I intended to inform you that yesterday, my friend, who is an amateur actor, arrived too late. I wished to tell you, but your phone was switched off. If I had foreseen the events of last night, I would have gone myself to rescue you…”

“…”

After listening to her friend’s rambling, Xu Xiyan found herself sinking into a state of melancholy.

Fang Xiaocheng’s friend hadn't been there?

Then, who was the handsome stranger at the hotel?

Could it be that she had slept with a mere passerby, someone not even worthy of being called an actor?

Damn it… This plotline was shifting far too rapidly!

Xu Xiyan had no time to ponder the identity of the attractive man with whom she had shared the night. The vehicle had already pulled up to the entrance of the Xu residence. Steward Su Gang had swiftly emerged, announcing the return of the second young lady to the household.
