Jiaochen - Chapter 58.5: Trust him conditionally (5)

Chapter 58.5: Trust him conditionally (5)

Shen Muqing’s words sounded a bit too heartless, but, nevertheless, had some truth in them.

Because of Ji Qingying’s past, she very much disliked being a bother to other people.

She’s always mindful of not causing trouble for others, so that nobody could ever say that they regret getting to know her.

Yan Qiuzhi agreed with Shen Muqing words, “That’s right! There’s no need to feel troubled.”

“Just look at Fu Yanzhi. He’s not afraid.”

She added, “He even immediately gave Chen Lunan and the others a call to find an excellent team of lawyers when he knew you were in trouble. He then had Cheng Zhan hire some ghostwriters for damage control.”

Ji Qingying was surprised as she was completely unaware of everything he had done.

She then subconsciously turned to look at the said man off to the side.

Aware of her gaze, Fu Yanzhi raised his eyes and looked at her too. His gaze still contained a hint of comfort, which made calm down immediately.

“What’s wrong?”

Fu Yanzhi walked towards them.

Ji Qingying shook her head, “Nothing.”

Fu Yanzhi patted her head, “Are you hungry?”

“A little bit.”

“Wait for a bit, the food will be delivered soon.”

Ji Qingying nodded, “Okay.”

Because of Shen Muqing’s ‘help’, things very quickly heated up.

At that moment, Lin Xiaoshuang’s fans lost it.

They didn’t quite understand why such a star in the entertainment industry would deign to intervene in this matter. Even daring to directly retaliate! If they felt their idol had been wrong, they naturally wanted to fight back.

If it was anyone else, cursing back would have been fine, but if they scolded Shen Muqing, her fans would go rabid as well.

Though her Weibo fans weren’t that many, they were 10 times more than Lin Xiaoshuang’s. Moreover, with Shen Muqing’s well known personality, her fans were similar to her. Basically, if you scolded her once, prepare to be scolded back a hundred times more. Their combativeness was particularly strong.

Thus, a two-way war of words began on the Internet.

At the time, Lin Xiaoshuang’s team was in complete disarray.

“Xiao Shuang.”

Her agent was staring at what was happening online before turning to her and asking, “Does she have a grudge against you?”

Lin Xiaoshuang shook her head, “I don’t even know her.”

Her expression was particularly bad as she couldn’t stop herself from scrolling down the screen. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

‘Why would such a bigshot suddenly appear?!’

Her agent frowned, seeing that the current trend wasn’t really favorable to them, “Are you sure Ji Qingying doesn’t have some kind of background?”

“I’m sure.”

Lin Xiaoshuang was icy when she said, “She’s only from a small, insignificant town. Backgroundless.”

But her agent still felt that something had gone wrong.

“Are you sure?”

“Absolutely.” Lin Xiaoshuang assured her, “I knew her for three years and I got to know everything about her family too.”

She continued, “She’s only from an ordinary family and only has her grandmother left.”

Her agent was silent.

She looked at Lin Xiaoshuang and said, “Then we don’t have anything to worry about. No one else knew the truth back then, so you’re safe.”

Lin Xiaoshuang “hmph-ed” before coldly saying, “I won’t allow her to participate in the international competition just like that.”

But as soon as she said this, her phone coincidentally rang.

After seeing the caller ID, Lin Xiaoshuang stared at her phone for a seconds before answering the call.

“Oh my, what just happened for Young Master He to have the time to call this old lover of his?”

“Lin Xiaoshuang, have you gone crazy?!” He Yuan was gritting his teeth on the other line.

Hearing his question, Lin Xiaoshuang snorted coldly, “That’s right. I am crazy!”

“But you already knew since long ago, right?”

He Yuan restrained himself, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose what really happened back then?”

Lin Xiaoshuang laughed and replied sarcastically, “Sure! If you aren’t afraid of losing your reputation as well, you’re free to do whatever you want, no matter how it’ll affect your He Family.

She then poked at He Yuan’s sore spot by saying, “After so many years, you still want to protect her?”

He Yuan had to take a deep breath before seriously saying, “I advise you to stop what you’re doing right away, or you’ll be finished.”

Lin Xiaoshuang blew on her polished red nails, “Who’ll be finished?”

She confidently said, “No one knew what really happened back then, but I’d like to see her try to turn things around. Does she think she’s won just because she won because she became the national champion? No, I want her to remain miserable!”

He Yuan closed his eyes dejectedly, “You’re beyond help.”

Lin Xiaoshuang said, “Yes, that’s right. When we slept together in your bed, but you still called out her name, didn’t you already know that?”

She sneered, “But you were really too pitiful, back then. You worked hard for three years, but in the end, she still treated you like a normal classmate. Didn’t you feel rather frustrated then?”

He Yuan didn’t pay any more attention to her.

He quickly ended the phone call with a single sentence, “Lin Xiaoshuang, you’re on your own.”

And right after he ended the call, He Yuan’s assistant knocked on his door.

“Mr. He.”

He Yuan raised her eyes.

His assistant pointed to the landline, “Sanqing’s President is on the line.”

That night.

While everyone’s attention was stuck on this plagiarism scandal, the main party involved has yet to say a word.

Right after they ate, the lawyer team arrived.

The group then had a long discussion, as well everyone handing over every piece of evidence they had, before the lawyer group left.

Yan Qiuzhi and others also left one after another, but each and every one of them left reminding her that she should stop thinking she’s a bother when she comes to them for help if something happens. There’s no need to worry.#pleasereadthischapteratfoxaholic.com

After seeing everyone off, Ji Qingying sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought. She then finally started writing a Weibo post on her mobile phone.

She rarely ever posts anything because she didn’t feel it was good to share too much of her private life with others. She was already content with what she had: doing something she liked, and having someone she loved.

However, things don’t always go the way we want.

Ji Qingying was actually quite weak and timid and she wasn’t good with dealing with emergencies.

If she didn’t have Fu Yanzhi and the others, she probably wouldn’t have been able to find a good solution.

She lowered her eyes and started typing what she wanted to say.

After Fu Yanzhi sent everyone off, he came back to see her sitting quietly on the sofa.

He stretched out his hand and embraced her before putting her on his lap. He then leaned in for a kiss, “Still thinking?”
