Chapter 197: Conflict
Qin Muxuan had to admit that Qin Xiaobai was a genius in this area.
She even forgot that this boy was her son for the moment.
When it was finally half time, Qin Muxuan asked Qin Xiaobai worriedly, “Are you tired?”
“Not at all. I enjoyed it so much!”
Hearing their conversation, the director couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Since when… How dare a mistress act so boldly?”
Someone in the crowd uttered that in a sullen voice. Qin Muxuan frowned and planned not to respond to that.
Qin Xiaobai was incensed and wanted to say something. However, he was stopped by Qin Muxuan.
“I’m fine. Since that person wanted to say that, just let her. She can do nothing but speak those words.”
“You!”
The woman who had spoken those words was also an actress in the play. However, because she and Xiaobai were not in the same scene, they never met each other in the former rehearsals. Only this time, all the actors had gathered here to do the final rehearsal.
Where there were more people… there would be more conflicts.
The director scowled, feeling a bit uncomfortable. ‘How dare you be so rude in my presence?’Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
That woman called Jiang Rong was not a famous actress. It was said that she regarded Yan Yuxiao as her idol.
The accident that had happened to Yan Yuxiao also irritated her.
“I was trying to say why this boy has tried so hard to play up to our director. A few days ago, he kept saying that our director is more and more beautiful. It turns out he learned all that from his mother. Now what, this boy was imitating the way you have been fawning upon Gu Zijin, right?”
Jiang Rong sneered.
Qin Muxuan just couldn’t tolerate those filthy words that woman had uttered anymore.
However, before she could say anything, Qin Xiaobai stepped forward ahead of her and pushed Jiang Rong fiercely.
“You’ve never spent time with my mother. How dare you speak ill of her like that?”
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to get more intense, the director tried to smooth things over right away and separated the boy and the woman.
Qin Xiaobai didn’t care if the woman was belittling, but he couldn’t stand it when someone dissed his mother in such a loud voice. He would never tolerate that behavior.
What he didn’t know was that the camera from a distance had already recorded what had just happened.
Qin Muxuan held Qin Xiaobai in her arms right away. She didn’t want Qin Xiaobai to get involved in the conflict between that woman and her.
“Lady, you have to give the proof when you try to criticize me. There are so many people standing here. If you keep saying like that, I can sue you for slandering.”
Qin Muxuan said that with a firm look. If she had heard those words privately, she would just let it go. However, now that Qin Xiaobai was also dragged into this, she had to fight back.
Jiang Rong was nobody in the show business. Due to her horrible acting skills, her company had sent her to act in the play in order to let her practice.
If she received a lawsuit now, she would be doomed.
Therefore, she could only roll her eyes and leave.
The director walked to the mother and son and smiled to Qin Muxuan embarrassedly, “Sorry for the trouble. It’s all because I haven’t managed my actors well.”
Qin Muxuan shook her head, “It has nothing to do with you. I shouldn’t have shown up here today. Please take care of Xiaobai these days.”
“Of course I will.”
After the rehearsal had finished, Qin Muxuan and Qin Xiaobai left the theatre together.
“What happened? Are you still angry now?” Qin Muxuan asked.
“Dabai, I don’t want you to be wronged.”
Qin Xiaobai sounded quite determined and Qin Muxuan was deeply moved.
“I know that, that’s why I have stood up to her. However, promise that you’ll leave the adults’ matter to the adults, OK?”
Qin Xiaobai said unwillingly, “Fine…”
Qin Muxuan thought that this thing would end up like this. However, at night, she received tons of calls from Xiaobai’s director.
“Director, are you looking for Xiaobai?”
“Xiaobai’s mother, I have to apologize to you for what has happened.”
Qin Muxuan knitted her eyebrows, not knowing what the director had meant.
“It looks like you didn’t know this. I suggest you looking at the top trending search in Weibo.”
“OK.”
These days Qin Muxuan was already wearied by the trending topics in Weibo, so she had thought that she would have no feeling no matter how striking the news was.
However, when she saw the topic ‘Qin Xiaobai put on airs on the shooting site and ended up in a big confrontation with an actress.’, her fingers started to tremble right away.
The news was finally not about Gu Zijin and her, but now the boy was targeted.
After she stared at the news for a long while, she still felt it necessary to call Gu Zijin. She remembered that he said he would come back late today due to the heavy workload he had.
Qin Muxuan hid in a room, afraid that Xiaobai would hear what she spoke on the phone.
“Hello.”
As she heard Gu Zijin’s voice, an aggrieved feeling suddenly overwhelmed her.
Gu Zijin seemed to feel that something was wrong and got a bit nervous too, “What’s wrong? I’ll go back to you now.”‘
Qin Muxuan said in a hurry, “I’m fine. You should continue with your work. It’s just Xiaobai was set up by someone on Weibo. I can’t come up with any solution, you are the only one I can turn to.”
“I’ll check it now. Sorry, I was too busy today.”
“There’s no need to apologize. I didn’t want to disturb you.”
When Gu Zijin saw those people condemning Qin Xiaobai on the Internet, he flew into a rage at once. However, he still repressed his anger considering Qin Muxuan’s condition, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this.”
After Gu Zijin hung up the phone, he asked Lisa to come in right away.
“Have you noticed this?’
“I just found out. Those people have calculated the time well.” Lisa suddenly felt a bit scared.
“Make that news disappear.”
Lisa shook her head, “The more we try to hide this, the more it will expose. It is a bit difficult… to free Little Master of this thing.”
Hearing that, Gu Zijin fell into silence.
There was still one solution to this matter. With his lips compressed to a line, he took out a pile of paper from the drawer.
“Give this to all the media agencies. The more widely this spreads, the better.”
Lisa took the documents and nodded, “Yes, sir.”
Since Yan Yuxiao was the reason for everything, she should also be the one who ended this.
He could use her to divert others’ focus on Qin Xiaobai. After all, she should make up for what she had done to the boy anyway.
After a short while, a commercial account called Weekly Revealing exposed all of Yan Yuxiao’s dark secrets over the past few years.
Those posts set off something of an Internet firestorm.
Even a star’s wedding gained less attention than Yan Yuxiao’s secrets.
After all, the public preferred to see the negative news.
All the people had been focusing on Yan Yuxiao the whole time. As the secrets were revealed, they only found themselves dumbfounded!
