Chapter 681 - You're Not My Mother.
The reporters were surprised and impressed that Xie Ming was ready to leave the industry which can bring her much more wealth and fame and chose to work in a hospital, which won't be able to pay her as much as this industry will do.
Even though she wasn't leaving the industry until her contract ends, but it will still affect her career as an actress because after Eternal Love, her popularity soared, and these scandals made her a hot topic among everyone as she emerged as the most popular newbie actress at this moment.
….
Tang Nian gave a final speech and when the conference was about to end, the phones of the reporters started to buzz which created quite a chaos among everyone because it was so noisy and chaotic.
Xie Ming glanced at Liwei in confusion seeing the way reporters were picking up their phones and was now wearing the shocked expressions.
However, he just smirked and in a split second his indifferent expressions took place like before.
"-_-"
She opened her mouth wondering what else he had planned.
Suddenly all the reporters who were packing their equipment turned to Xie Ming and started questioning her.
" Ms. Xie, is actress Jennie aka Qin Jia your childhood friend about whom you talked in an interview? Is she is the one who set you up in the sexual harassment case?"
" Xie Ming, do you know that actress Jennie was involved in the horse drugging case along with Yuan Lei? "
"-_-"
Xie Ming was speechless and shocked when she heard their questions. What's happening? Why will Qin Jia work with Yuan Lei to injure her?
Tang Nian was also surprised to see the reporters aggressively asking Xie Ming many questions while she looked blank.
She moved forward and helped them to leave the stage and ended the press conference.
…..
Inside the Tang Nian's office, everyone gathered there. Liwei and Xie Ming were sitting on a couch, while the two old men sat on their adjacent couch. Lu Feng sat beside Old Lu while she was sitting on the couch headrest and was checking the news online.
Su Jin looked at the article which was posted by a media outlet, which said, " In the early morning, Actress Jennie has been arrested from her apartment by the police and is now being investigated by the narcotics department. The narcotics department has received confidential information where someone has provided them with the screenshots of the chat between Qin Jia and Yuan Lei. In the chat, Jennie seems to be telling Yuan Lei to drug the horse, to scare Xie Ming, so that she can get injured and leave the movie herself. The narcotics department checked the authenticity of the screenshots by reviving their chats."
" According to the latest report, the police have arrested Jennie and Yuan Lei's bail request has been canceled. The narcotics department is investigating and soon Yuan?Lei and Jennie will appear in court. The simple accident at the shooting has turned into a big scandal. Write your thoughts in the comments." Su Jin read the article aloud.
Everyone was silent. Xie Ming was still in a daze. She turned to Liwei and was surprised that he was casually drinking his coffee. After causing chaos in everyone's life, he was drinking coffee?
She sighed as she understood that it was his doing. So this is what he meant by that they will soon get the evidence?
" Woah! What a dramatic situation this is. Xie Ming, you should think once more. If you stay in this industry, you will soon become famous. See, so many people are praising you." She showed her the comments on the post.
[ I feel bad for Xie Ming. She went through so much and yet she never badmouthed anyone.]
[ She is not only a good actress but also has a good heart. I am feeling bad that she is not going to take any acting projects in the future. I want to see her more in acting.]
[ Damn it. Do you guys know what happened to the horse? My cousin's who work in that farm where they shot the horse riding scene told me that it was Xie Ming who performed acupuncture on the horse and saved his life. Before getting first aid for her injuries, she treated the horse first. If she hadn't treated the horse on time, he would have died. She is such an angel.]
[ Really? Ah, she is such a nice person. She didn't even tell anyone about it and kept it under the wraps. "
[ I am so happy that she chose to become a doctor. Her talent would have been wasted if she had stayed in the entertainment industry.]
[True. I heard that some people are naturally talented and skilled at certain things. Maybe acupuncture is one of her talents?]
Xie Ming was astounded that the news about treating the horse has been spread everywhere. She was shocked seeing that this internet is so scary. Nothing can be kept hidden from it.
....
Two weeks later, Xie Ming was sitting in her office and was checking the list of pre-booked appointments for the upcoming week. She has officially joined the hospital as the head doctor of the department. Since she has joined the hospital, the patients in the oriental medicine department have increased tremendously.
Many come to see Xie Ming from close since they are her fans and many came after hearing the stories about her acupuncture skills. She has become popular in the hospital as most patients are coming just to see her and get checked by her.
Even Old Su wasn't getting as many patients as Xie Ming these days. She checks at least 300 patients during her general OPD while she checks at least 100 patients privately and many have to be returned or transferred to other doctors because of the high number of patients.
Old Lu was satisfied with his decision to hire Xie Ming. The revenue of the hospital has increased a lot since she has joined officially.
"Doctor Xie, your mother has come to meet you." While she was checking her schedule, a sister knocked on the door and informed her. She thought that Mother Jin might have come since she was saying that she will come to see her office once.
At first, she was worried about how her family would react after the press conference, but they all supported her and were proud of her decision. She was touched that they never said anything to her when she decided to enter the entertainment industry nor when she decided to leave the industry out of sudden.
She was so overwhelmed seeing their love and care that only thanks won't be enough for the family she has got.
" Send them in."
After a few minutes, the office door opened and two figures entered the office.
" Mother you should have …." Xie Ming, who was speaking, paused when she raised her head and saw Xie Xinyi and Rouxi entering the office.
She frowned and asked, " What are you doing here?"
Xie Rouxi who was holding onto Xinyi's arm frowned, hearing her tone, and walked towards her desk. She pursed her lips and forced a smile, " Xie Ming, how can you talk like this? I am your mother. What's wrong with a mother coming to visit her daughter's workplace?"
Without waiting for Xie Ming's response, they pulled the chair and sat on it. Xie Ming frowned and took a deep breath as she asked with her hands folded in front of her chest, " I asked why did you come here? You know that you're not my mother. So stop acting like one."
Xie Rouxi's lips twitched but she still smiled and said, " I came to see your office. I never thought that a 'girl' like you could become a doctor." she commented while looking around.
Xie Ming leaned back on her chair and chuckled, " You know, one should never underestimate others. Who knows when your enemy will become stronger than you?"
Xinyi gritted her teeth and wanted to speak but Rouxi held onto her arm and stopped her from speaking.
" Xie Ming, why are you talking like this? We just..came to see you. It's been so long since we have met."
" You know...that Liwei has fired Xinyi because of you and not only that, he was hindering our company's work as well. As a part of the Xie family, shouldn't you do something to help your sister and the company? You should talk to him and stop making things hard for our family. Because of him, your father is in so much stress these days. If not for us, shouldn't you do something for your father?" Rouxi said while covering her words in honey.
Xie Ming raised her brows and smiled. She was aware that he had fired Xie Xinyi but she wasn't aware that he was targeting their company as well. And now these two white lotuses have come to visit her, it means their condition must be really bad.
She was staring at Xie Rouxi with a smile when the strange memories started to fill her mind. For a split second, she saw something which shocked her. Her hands which were below the table, clenched in a fist as her eyes darkened and were emitting the fire.
