Chapter 108: Evidence
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Back when Jing MO hadn’t yet recognized Xia Xin, he had seen her injured and nervously helped her with her wounds, even causing delays in subsequent shoots.
Later, Jing MO even had Sun Hu personally call Sun Tao to express his willingness to participate in the third episode of the variety show, which made Sun Tao ecstatic.
At that time, Sun Hu had already sensed that Jing MO treated Xia Xin differently. After all, with Jing Mo’s tight schedule and high status, he couldn’t possibly agree to participate in an obscure variety show unless it was for more opportunities to be around Xia Xin.
Sun Hu cursed Jing MO in his heart, ‘Keep pretending to be aloof, but you’ll regret it someday when she runs off with someone else! I’m eagerly waiting for that day!’
After changing into a new outfit and tying her long hair into a ponytail, Xia Xin looked like she was ready to go out. She came out and said to the two of them, “I have a plan, but I need your help.”
Sun Hu scoffed, “Let me hear what brilliant plan you’ve come up with.”
To keep them in suspense, Xia Xin said, “I’ll keep it a secret for now. You’ll know when the time comes. But I need you two to help me arrange a meeting with Wan Wan.”
Jing MO said, “Meeting her is easy. She has a shoot today, so she must be on set. I can take you to the filming location under the pretense of visiting the set. But before we go, there’s something that might help you.”
Xia Xin and Sun Hu asked simultaneously, “What is it?”
Jing MO explained, “Do you remember the surveillance cameras I installed outside your house?”
Xia Xin suddenly realized and said, “Right! Because Tang Hai was arrested later, no one bothered me anymore, and I forgot about the surveillance. Now that you mention it, I remember that the events when I brought Wu Jia home and when she left should have been captured in the footage! I recall that when Wu Jia left, she tried to throw my bracelet on the ground. Although these videos may not prove everything, they can at least show that Wu Jia’s claims aren’t entirely true.”
“Exactly. Now, export the video clips from the surveillance camera and send them to Sun Hu. Also, give him access to your social media accounts so he can post a statement on your behalf. I’ll take you to the filming location,” said Jing Mo.
Sun Hu protested, “I haven’t agreed to post a statement for her yet. You can’t make decisions on my behalf!”
Jing MO responded coldly, “Your protest is invalid!”
Xia Xin immediately used her phone to retrieve the surveillance footage. She sorted through the video clips based on the time when Wu Jia arrived at her house and when she left. As she did, she stumbled upon an unexpected discovery.
It turned out that Wu Jia hadn’t just caused trouble inside Xia Xin’s house; she had even convinced Wan Wan to visit. The day Wu Jia had come over, she had brought snacks and potato chips, all of which were gifts from Wan Wan. The surveillance even showed them chatting and laughing outside Xia Xin’s door, with their entire conversation recorded. They had been discussing how to frame Xia Xin.
Sun Hu, after seeing the surveillance footage, said, “These two are brainless. They chatted so openly right outside your door, and they didn’t even think that you might have surveillance. With this evidence, you should be able to clear your name. There’s no need to meet Wan Wan.”
Xia Xin, however, was adamant, and said, “No, I still want to meet her! Even though I can explain this matter with the evidence, I want her to apologize to me!”
Sun Hu seemed to hear a joke, “You’re a dreamer. Wan Wan is very arrogant, and even if you present evidence, she definitely won’t apologize to you. I advise you not to stir up trouble for yourself.”
Xia Xin confidently said, “You just wait and see.”
Meanwhile, Jia Bing had just finished filming and was discussing with the assistant director, Chen Ping, “Have you found a stand-in to reshoot all of Xia Xin’s scenes?”
Chen Ping clearly disagreed with this decision. He said, “Mr. Jia, why not keep
Xia Xin’s scenes tor now!”
Jia Bing said with annoyance, “Haven’t you seen how many negative comments there are now? Keeping her in the show will only lead to backlash. We’re producing on a small budget, and we can’t afford any controversies!”
Chen Ping explained, “But, I believe Xia Xin will resolve this issue quickly..
We’ve already spent the money; can’t we give her a couple of days?”
