Chapter 131: Everybody Knows It
“You knew it was her?”
Qin Muxuan raised her head to look at Gu Zijin.
Gu Zijin did have warned her to guard against Zhong Yueyue, but she turned a deaf ear to his warning at that time.
Perhaps everyone had known about it except for her.
Gu Zijin nodded. Under the dim light, his face seemed even more handsome than usual. Seeming him being so calm, Qin Muxuan had a sense of security somehow.
“I didn’t know it was her at first. After all, I don’t want to be suspicious of your friend. I only investigated Hot News Reporter who has slandered you and Xiaobai. Then Lisa gave me the answer.”
“Lisa found out… that it was Yueyue?”
“Zhong Yueyue has cooperated with the owner, to be more specific. Zhong Yueyue works in the Hot News Media Company. After her boss knew that you and she are best friends by accident, he bought her over at a high price and asked her to provide the dirt on you. Building a positive image of you wouldn’t attract lots of views, but negative stuff would definitely become the trending topic. Perhaps Zhong Yueyue wasn’t able to resist the temptation of money and chose to cooperate with her boss to frame you.”
Qin Muxuan nodded. Perhaps because she got tired after a whole day’s suffering or she had Gu Zijin by her side, she wasn’t that sad anymore and gradually turned calm.
‘For a human being, it is always hard to resist the temptation of money. Maybe that is forgivable.’
‘Also, Yueyue doesn’t live a good life now. She only took a risk and betrayed me because she needs the money to win a high status in her family.’
Even though that was what Qin Muxuan was thinking, she still hoped that Zhong Yueyue could explain to her. As long as Zhong Yueyue could say sorry to her, she felt that she would be able to forgive Zhong Yueyue.
“Huh,” Qin Muxuan gave a wry smile, “I wonder if they would share with me some of the money they earned by framing me.”
Gu Zijin gave a smile.
“They wouldn’t earn a penny. I already ordered Lisa to sue them in the name of you. The compensation they will pay will be much higher than the profits they earned.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan felt her anger being vented.
“But… I’m afraid that I don’t have the time to go to the court.”
“You don’t have to be present in the court, we will have someone represent you.”
Gu Zijin really had considered everything for her.
“Zijin… thank you.”
She felt grateful for everything he had done for her.
“There is no need to say thanks between us.”
Gu Zijin stroked her smooth hair again.
They both stopped talking. The atmosphere seemed to become a bit intimate.
“It’s too late. You should get some rest early.”
He stood up and left. If he stayed there longer, he didn’t know what he would do when facing the tender girl in that kind of atmosphere.
…
Yan Yuxiao also saw the negative news about Qin Muxuan on the Internet. After a careful selection, she saved the articles which had been posted by Hot News Reporter in her own cloud drive before that account had been blocked.
In the daytime, when Gu Zijin, Qin Muxuan and Qin Xiaobai weren’t at home, Yan Yuxiao arrived at the Gu’s house excitedly with presents.
“Grandma Gu, this new iPad hasn’t been officially released. I shot an advertisement for this brand, so I came here to let you try it first.”
Gu Zijin had almost destroyed her acting career. Yan Yuxiao had tried her best and even traded sex for this chance of shooting the advertisement.
Luckily for her, Gu Zijin stopped making trouble for her lately, so she gradually started to return to the show business.
Ever since what happened to Qin Xiaobai, Elderly Lady Gu wasn’t that fond of Yan Yuxiao anymore. However, considering that Yan Yuxiao had a close relationship with the Gu family for many years, Elderly Lady Gu still wanted to give Yan Yuxiao a chance.
Therefore, she didn’t refuse Yan Yuxiao’s gift straightly and only said in a flat tone, “Thanks, girl. Put it there. However, I am an old woman with poor eyesight. Giving me an electronic product will only be a waste.”
“How can it be a waste? I can teach you how to use it.”
Beaming, Yan Yuxiao opened the box directly and took out the brand-new iPad.
“You see…”
After Yan Yuxiao got the iPad all set up, she entered her own account number and password at last.
In this way, not only would Elderly Lady Gu saw the things in Yan Yuxiao’s cloud drive, but the latter would know anything Elderly Lady Gu did on the iPad.
Although Ye Han was younger than Elderly Lady Gu, she was also not familiar with the electronic products. Therefore, she couldn’t tell if there was anything wrong with Yan Yuxiao’s behavior.
“Grandma Gu, see, this iPad works very fast. You can watch movies or read news with it at home, and the images would be much clearer than the ones on your phone. Although the screen is not as large as the television, it is very convenient to carry. Also, I am the VIP user for all the video sites. If there are any movies or TV shows you like, I can find them for you.”
The Gu’s family never lacked the objects like that. Elderly Lady Gu just wasn’t interested in the electronic products. If she was, she would have learned how to use it long ago. However, since Yan Yuxiao seemed very excited with a good intention, Elderly Lady Gu then tried to be cooperative and took a few glances at the iPad.
Then, Elderly Lady Gu ‘accidentally’ saw the news which Yan Yuxiao had saved in her cloud drive.
“What is this? Why would my great grandson’s name show up in the news? Qin Xiaobai’s biological mother, Qin Muxuan went to KTV with a few guys at night?”
“Ah!” Yan Yuxiao pretended to be surprised and shouted, “Why did this thing pop out? Come on!”
Saying this, she pretended to want to delete that news. As she expected, Elderly Lady Gu stopped her instantly.
“Wait! Let me check this!”
As Elderly Lady Gu browsed the news, her blood pressure went up at once.
If it wasn’t because Qin Xiaobai and Gu Zijin looked alike each other, Elderly Lady Gu would force the father and son to do a DNA paternity test!”
Elderly Lady Gu’s face turned completely red in anger. Then Ye Han gave her two blood-pressure pills.
“This woman Qin Muxuan! I knew that she is a scheming girl long ago, but Zijin never believed me! Ye Han, you should see this, that woman has been in lots of relationships at college and sang and danced in KTV! How can she be a decent person!”
Ye Han opened her mouth without saying anything, but she knew that there must be some misunderstanding. She was well aware that Qin Muxuan wasn’t a sultry woman. However, she didn’t know how to explain for Qin Muxuan since the negative news was there.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
‘Actually, everyone has been young once. Perhaps Qin Muxuan did have made lots of mistakes when she was younger.’
However, if the news was all true, Ye Han really didn’t know what to do.
Yan Yuxiao turned off the iPad. Before that, she deleted the news in the iPad secretly.
Then, she pretended to be worried and said,
“Grandma Gu, you are right. I never expected that the woman with the innocent look would be so sluttish. She doesn’t deserve to be Xiaobai’s mother! Grandma Gu, you can trust me. I’ll make an investigation about it. If the news is true, we should separate her from Xiaobai right away. I’m afraid that she would influence Xiaobai’s values and future!”
Ye Han wanted to say something but at last decided to keep silent because she had to observe Elderly Lady Gu’s condition the whole time. These days this old lady’s blood pressure wasn’t very stable, and that was the thing Ye Han was more concerned about.
