Even this time, with his scandal with Jiang Xuanqi, the company only required that he maintain a semblance of an ambiguous relationship with her in public. He didn't need to admit anything or go out of his way. He just had to remain silent when people brought it up.
Sometimes, silence equates to consent. Whether the rumors were true or false didn't matter, as long as the public became interested in the TV series, in Yu Zexiao, and in Jiang Xuanqi, their objective was achieved.
After taking Yin Maohui's call, Yu Zexiao became somewhat silent. However, the next day during filming with Jiang Xuanqi, Yu Zexiao's attitude was no longer as cold as before. Of course, he wasn't overly affectionate either, just no longer repulsive, occasionally even chatting with her after shoots.
But the only person he remained indifferent toward was Jian Anning.
