Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The onlookers might be fans of the deceased celebrity, Ye Ruifang, who was a loyal audience. They would just scold and make things difficult for her. They would slowly understand the truth.
But now, there were media reporters following and interviewing her. The rumors on Weibo had not started to die down yet, and a new wave of hot news was about to spread.
Chi Yaoxi thought of Sister Ming. She was in contact with all the major media outlets and was doing public relations for herself. She hoped that the untrue news would be suppressed as much as possible and give her a good reputation.
However, it seemed that Sister Ming’s public relations efforts were futile. After all, she used to be famous and popular. If there were rumors on the Internet and she had the ability to negotiate with the media, the media would be more respectful.
However, things are different now. She was in dire straits. Chi Yaoxi thought that the reason the media was still interested in her was to exhaust her last bit of popularity and gain more attention.
Chi Yaoxi stood in the corridor in her high heels. The path outside was completely packed.
She had been exhausted after running for half a day and had just been scolded by the audience. Now, she was being interrogated by the reporters. Chi Yaoxi felt that things were getting out of hand and there was no room for negotiation. She had reached the end of her rope.
At this moment, Chi Yaoxi’s mind was completely blank. It was as if countless ants were crawling on her chest. She felt her consciousness drifting, and even breathing was difficult.
Li Qianming felt that Chi Yaoxi was in low spirits and her steps were a little shaky. She could not stand steadily and he quickly reached out to support her who was on the verge of collapse.
These people were too much! They were talking nonsense and slandering people without knowing the truth! Especially the media reporters, they could not differentiate right from wrong. They had ulterior motives!
Li Qianming supported Chi Yaoxi with one hand and made a few calls with the other. Looking at the woman who was at a loss, Li Qian’s eyes darkened slightly and he said slowly, “Don’t worry.”
When Chi Yaoxi heard the comforting words of the man beside her, she turned her head to look at his tall figure, blocking those reporters who were rushing forward. She suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of peace.
Amidst the bustling crowd, Chi Yaoxi forced a smile onto her face and nodded gratefully at Li Qianming.
A few minutes later, a few men in suits came to the entrance of the restaurant and said something to them. When the reporters heard what they said, they all left.
Chi Yaoxi was stunned by the sudden change in the situation. The media reporters who had been shouting at her and questioning her aggressively just now had all quickly retreated!
Li Qianming had just made a few phone calls and Chi Yaoxi had clearly heard him talking to his assistant, Ling Yue, asking him to send someone to handle it immediately.
It turned out that this man was not only handsome and cold, but also had some connections. He had helped her solve a big problem today.
Chi Yaoxi’s worried, helpless, and almost desperate heart slowly returned to normal. She has a whole new level of respect for this man.
On the way back, Chi Yaoxi sat in the back seat and looked at Li Qianming who was driving quietly in front of her. She once again spoke words of gratitude.
“Thank you, Li ~ Qian Ming. You’ve really helped me a lot this time, I…” The more Chi Yaoxi spoke, the softer her voice became. She herself felt that it was strange. Usually, she had a sharp tongue when she met anyone, but why was she always speaking incoherently in front of this man?
“Don’t worry, I… I will treat Chenchen well.”
For a moment, Chi Yaoxi could not think of how to thank Li Qianming. Suddenly, she thought of his son, Chenchen, whom she had acknowledged.
The man remained silent, his expression cold and stern. He did not utter a single word throughout the journey.
However, Chi Yaoxi noticed that when Li Qianming heard her say that she would treat Chenchen well, he glanced at her through the rearview mirror.
He should be happy to hear this, Chi Yaoxi thought to herself. Seeing the man’s reaction to her words, Chi Yaoxi could not help but smile.
Li Qianming drove the car around a corner and picked Chenchen up at an ice rink before sending Chi Yaoxi home.
When the car was about to reach downstairs, Chi Yaoxi covered her mouth in shock. She saw that there were many reporters waiting outside her house.
“These reporters are everywhere!” Chi Yaoxi panicked whenever she saw these reporters. She was really afraid of them.
The little fella widened his eyes in alarm and said, “Stop the car! Daddy, turn around quickly. There are so many bad reporters around. Mommy can’t go back. Let Mommy go back with us.”
Li Qianming didn’t say anything. He turned the car around and went straight to the main road.
When they returned to the villa, it was still early. Li Qianming saw a woman in a dress walking around the entrance of her villa from afar.
The little fella’s eyes were sharp and he recognized her immediately. He pointed at the woman at the door and shouted unhappily, “It’s that bad auntie again! Why is she here?”
Wu Shu??Li Qianming narrowed his eyes and looked at that woman coldly, deep in thought.
Finally, when Li Qianming returned, Wu Shu twisted her waist and rushed forward to greet him affectionately. “Qianming, I thought you would be resting at home this weekend.” As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Shu saw Chi Yaoxi pulling a little boy’s hand. She also got out of the car and walked over.
He was indeed still with this woman!?Wu Shu stared at Chi Yaoxi viciously.?This b*tch had committed so many stupid things recently and was even detained by the police. How could she still have the shame to be with Li Qianming? Shouldn’t she at least know her worth?
A movie actress who had a bad reputation. It was no wonder that Li Qianming didn’t dare to let his parents know about their relationship.
Li Qianming swept a glance at Wu Shu, his gaze filled with coldness as he asked in an icy tone, “What are you here for?”
Wu Shu sensed Li Qianming’s cold attitude and knew that he was currently hanging out with Chi Yaoxi, that slut, so he didn’t like her and felt indignant. But on the surface, Wu Shu still had a gentle smile on her face. She was not someone who would easily admit defeat.
Because of her family background, she had no lack of suitors. She was always very confident. Li Qianming was her man, there was no doubt about that. According to their parents, they should have gotten engaged long ago.
As for the women around Li Qianming, they were all trying their best to climb onto his bed. Wu Shu thought resentfully that as long as she made a move, they would quickly disappear into thin air and she would make them run far away!
Wu Shu walked forward with a gentle smile. Just as she was about to grab Li Qianming’s hand, the image of him avoiding her the last time suddenly appeared in her mind. A trace of annoyance surged in her heart.?Forget it, She’ll take her time. Anyway, Li Qianming must belong to her!
Wu Shu sashayed over and stood in front of Li Qianming. She pretended to be pitiful and said shyly, “Auntie asked me to visit you. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
