Chapter 371 Life and Death

The farce about Chen Ning, a newcomer in the entertainment industry, hanging out with rich men to grab resources was about to get heated online, but it was directly extinguished by Chen Zhong’s Weibo post.

The four words "Shen's Heavy Industry" are well-known to everyone. The boss of Shen's Heavy Industry personally came forward to recognize his daughter, which was like a slap in the face of those who were trying to stir up trouble.

The comments that accused Chen Ning of hanging out with rich men suddenly died down, and were replaced by comments with a sudden change of tone.

"So it's Miss Shen. I'm honored to be here."

"Miss Shen, what's that called having the best of both worlds? I'm just treating everyone equally... Maybe it was your brother who was crying and begging for the Miss."

"Miss, the overwhelming wealth and splendor are not worthy of those shallow-eyed people. Come and see my Xiaoze. He is tall, handsome and has a good sense of humor. Miss, please give him a chance."

"Hahaha, does your main character know that you, the fans, are giving him a green card online?"

"So she's a rich girl. No wonder Lu Xinyi is in trouble. Tsk, we ordinary people can only suffer in front of capital."

"Look at your fawning faces. What's wrong with this world? You laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes."

"If you can't speak, just shut up. Do you understand memes? You're always trying to take the moral high ground, but why can't you just stand up straight and have to create a pretext?"

"It's as if Lu Xinyi is innocent and miserable. Insider information is that Lu Xinyi was blind and wanted to bully Shen Ning, but ended up hitting a wall."

At this time, Qin Mu posted a Weibo post with a photo he took when he was accompanying Shen Ning, whose arm was strangled, to apply medicine in the hospital.

Chen Ning's skin was fair, which made the rope-like bruises on her arms look even more shocking.

Qin Mu v: That is to say, Ningning has a good temper...but being kicked out of the crew is a good thing for some people.

Qin Mu has always been outspoken and is known in the circle for his boldness. As soon as this Weibo post was released, the Internet was shocked.

"I knew this circle was chaotic, but I didn't expect it to be this chaotic."

"That's horrible! Her arm is tied up. This only happens to a young lady. If it happened to a small artist with no background, wouldn't she just be bullied?"

"Wow, I wonder if my baby was bullied when he was in the same group with Lu Xinyi."

"So she's a vicious woman. She instigated the props crew to tie up the young lady and hurt her on the set. Why didn't she dare to speak out? She was just kicked out of the crew, which was a relief for her."

"Well, I have a friend who runs a marketing account. The photo of the eldest daughter being sent to the set by her father was given to the marketing account by Lu Xinyi's studio."

"Hahahaha, you thought I had a godfather, but I didn't expect him to be your biological father. That's too bad."

"A billionaire CEO personally sends his daughter to work. I want a dad like him too."

“I am Shen Ning’s long-lost sister, Shen Buling. Sister, come and take me home.”

"That vicious woman is truly wicked. She actually injured someone like that. She must have such a deep hatred and resentment..."

"This is over. I've offended someone I can't afford to offend."

There was a lot of ridicule online, and Lu Xinyi was also panicked.

Shen Heavy Industry is not something she can contend with. It is a domestic heavy industry giant and a very powerful heavy industry enterprise even abroad. Moreover, because the CEO is a man of great ability and knows how to handle things, he has very good relations with the government.

Just when Lu Xinyi's company was scrambling to deal with the aftermath, revelations about Lu Xinyi exploded on the Internet.

Including but not limited to exchanging her body for resources, being a mistress, and bullying younger artists in the company, etc. Soon, all of Lu Xinyi's accounts were blocked.

"Hey, it turns out this person is the hardworking one. It must be hard for her to have so many sponsors."

"It seems that she was filming a fight scene on the set and couldn't get through it, so she kept dragging it out. Shen Ning was her stand-in, but she ended up holding a grudge against her."

"It's so dark."

"Well, she's accompanying that guy, doesn't he have a family and children? So, is she a third person?"

"What three? This is clucking."

"How stupid and evil..."

The company issued a statement claiming that it was unaware of what Lu Xinyi had done and that it felt regretful and saddened by it. In order to clarify its position and attitude and its zero tolerance for bullying of artists and crew members, the company announced the termination of its contract with Lu Xinyi.

In the school's science and technology building, students waiting for the results of the preliminary round of the chemistry competition sat on both sides of the corridor and discussed gossip on the Internet.

"It turns out that Chen Ning is a rich lady. Oh my god, she is usually so low-key."

"It's good to have money. You can just give up on a competition like this and not worry about others."

"It's said that the group the young lady was in didn't complete the final experiment. Tsk, they had a chance of winning the prize."

"The people in the same group are also really miserable."

"It seems that there are roommates of hers in the group. They are completely heartless."

Yang Qian looked at Yao Dandan who was silent across from her. She endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore and spoke loudly: "Chen Ning didn't just give up halfway. She had something to do and needed to ask for leave, and then their team leader forced her to quit."

Pang Qi, who was beside Yao Dandan, blushed and immediately retorted, "She wants to take a long vacation and drop out of school. I just don't want her absence to affect the others in the group."

But as soon as he finished speaking, another boy in the group sneered: "Come on, everyone knows that you wanted to force others to leave and bring your girlfriend in to win the award...but in the end you are not as capable as Chen Ning, and you have implicated everyone."

"Bullshit, didn't you guys say anything when Chen Ning was about to leave..."

In an instant, the entire corridor was filled with noise, and some people were secretly recording the scene with their mobile phones.

Yao Dandan hurriedly tried to persuade Pang Qi to keep quiet while she couldn't help but criticize Yang Qian: "Do you have to keep saying all this nonsense here? Are you happy just because you're embarrassing everyone?"

Yang Qian stood up directly: "You're still blaming me? I just held back from saying anything to you. Do you think no one knows what you did?"

Yao Dandan was stunned for a moment, her eyes wandering: "What did I do? What does it have to do with me?"

Yang Qian pointed at her, "You asked me to bring you lunch, and when I was putting it down, I accidentally saw your computer screen, and you were there anonymously exposing Chen Ning for ignoring her teammates' projects. You made a very detailed statement... You also said she had brand-name bags before, which didn't seem like her spending level. Do you think no one knows it was you?"

The more Yang Qian thought about it, the angrier she became: "We are in the same dormitory after all, and Chen Ning has never offended you. She has a good temper and has helped almost all of us. You teamed up with your boyfriend to deliberately snatch her place, and even slandered her behind her back. Do you have the nerve to do that?"

Yao Dandan stood up and interrupted Yang Qian: "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it because you are too poor that Shen Ning gave you a pair of her old shoes? That's why you are here trying so hard to praise her. What? Are you expecting the eldest lady to help you turn things around?"

Yang Qian looked at Yao Dandan in disbelief. "Your words really don't sound like someone who should be standing here. Is this all you've learned so far? There's no true friendship between roommates and classmates. Are they all just profit-driven?"

Yao Dandan sneered: "Isn't it?"

Yang Qian shook her head: "You are actually quite pitiful. You are obviously in a culturally rich campus, but you are more mean and superficial than many people outside... There are records of your rumors online. If Chen Ning wants to sue you, I will definitely stand up and testify."

Yao Dandan's expression suddenly froze, she clenched her fists and could no longer speak.

Soon, the video shot by students in the school's science and technology building was also posted online... The rumors about Chen Ning recklessly disturbing others at school were also debunked.

Then there was news from students at the same school that the team leader who kicked Shen Ning out of the team to make room for his girlfriend ultimately failed to complete the project.

There was a new round of ridicule against Pang Qi and Yao Dandan on the Internet. Fortunately, they were both amateurs, so the ridicule died down quickly on its own.

But although the news died down online, it was still a hot topic in school, especially among those who knew them.

That night, Yao Dandan's messages exploded. Everyone was asking if she had instigated Pang Qi to snatch Chen Ning's spot, and if she was slandering Chen Ning online. There were even classmates who she didn't know who added her specifically to verify the message, but they were actually scolding her.

Yao Dandan was going crazy and screamed hysterically at Yang Qian in the dormitory.

Yang Qian was very calm: "You also know that being scolded is uncomfortable, so why did you falsely accuse Chen Ning on the Internet before? You said her words were false, but what you did was true, so you are not wronged..."

Then I watched Yao Dandan constantly on the phone in the dormitory. Finally, she got into a heated argument with Pang Qi over the phone. She lost her composure and went crazy, smashing her things, including her laptop...

Shen Ning didn't pay any attention to the things on the Internet, and she didn't have the heart to think about them. She was hesitating whether to go for a follow-up examination.

The hospital kept calling, and she knew she had to go, at least to get some clarity.

But I couldn't help wanting to escape.

Even though I knew what the result would be, I couldn't help but think that if I didn't go for a follow-up check, I could escape for a few more days.

After coming out of Professor Lin's place, Shen Ning was a little distracted and walked out of the school, but was stopped by someone unexpectedly.

"Ningning..."

Shen Ning looked up and saw that it was Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao's eyes were red. "Ningning, I know I was wrong. I just can't accept losing you in the future, so I want to escape. Ningning, can you forgive me?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wanted to hug Shen Ning: "Ning Ning, no matter what, I will accompany you to face everything..."

Shen Ning's answer was to kick him directly: "Get out!"

Unlucky thing!

Gu Zhao was so shocked that he dodged backwards, then looked at her with hurt eyes: "Ningning, I know you are angry, but I really know I was wrong. You are in your current situation and you need someone to accompany you..."

Gu Zhao wanted to move closer to Shen Ning, but unexpectedly his collar felt tighter at the back, and when he reacted, he found that he was being pulled away.

Qin Mu curled his lips: "Where did this little thing come from? It's quite lively."

Qin Muyou is 187cm tall and Gu Zhao is 178cm tall. They felt a little embarrassed and annoyed when they heard this.

But when he recognized who Qin Mu was, he immediately wilted and couldn't say a word.

Chen Ning and Qin Mu left, and Gu Zhao watched them go from behind with a sullen look on his face...

Even among college students who are still in the ivory tower and have not yet entered the society, there are many secular and utilitarian people.

At first, Gu Zhao pursued Chen Ning purely out of admiration, and retreated after knowing that Chen Ning was sick because of considerations of reality. But now that he knew that Chen Ning was the daughter of Shen Heavy Industry, turning back to seek reconciliation was even more realistic... It's just that he overestimated himself.

Qin Mu and Shen Ning walked out of the school. The students they met on the way looked at them in surprise and joy from time to time, and some even whispered to them.

However, since it was a prestigious institution of learning, no one came up to them to ask for autographs or take photos, and the two of them left the school smoothly.

After getting in the car, Qin Mu asked Chen Ning hesitantly: "What was that kid talking about just now? What's your situation?"

Shen Ning fell silent.

Originally, Qin Mu was just a little suspicious and worried, so he asked one more question, but when he saw Shen Ning's silence, his expression slowly became solemn.

Realizing that things might not be as simple as he thought, Qin Mu said seriously, "Ningning, I know we haven't known each other for too long, but I want you to believe that I am willing to be your very good friend... If you need help with anything, please come to me first, okay?"

Shen Ning sniffed, paused, and whispered: "There may be something wrong with my body. I need to go for a check-up to confirm."

Even though she felt she had accepted her fate, she would still be afraid when she really had to face it after escaping... She didn't know how to tell her parents, nor did she want to face such an embarrassing and pitiful scene.

But she did wish someone was by her side.

Qin Mu was startled, but quickly regained his composure. He said, "It's okay, Ningning. I'll go with you."

Shen Ning nodded: "Okay."

Qin Mu's sports car drove out of the off-campus parking lot and prepared to go to the hospital, but just as he was about to reach the intersection, a car from the opposite direction lost control and crashed into their car.

Qin Mu subconsciously turned the steering wheel but was unable to dodge. Just as the car was about to hit him at high speed, a large G-Class swerved in front of Qin Mu's car...

There was a loud bang, and Shen Ning's mind went blank. At the end of her consciousness, she saw the driver of the car blocking the front.

It's Xiao Chen...

In the moment when he was in a trance during the violent collision, Xiao Chen felt that he had thought a lot, but also felt that he had not thought about anything, and just blocked it like that.

At this moment, time seemed to be extended infinitely...

We've only known each other for two months, but he's so superficial and childish that he wants to kill me?

Is it that so?

But he did just that.

Knowing that he was being teased, he couldn't help but run to the other person's school to make peace and want a chance to start over, but he saw her with Qin Mu.

He knew very well that she had no feelings for him and it was all just a casual act, but in the moment of life and death crisis, he became completely in love and actually rushed up to her.

Xiao Chen despised himself, but he also clearly realized that he really couldn't bear to see her get into trouble...

The light in front of my eyes became mottled, there was a sharp buzzing sound in my ears, and my consciousness slowly sank into the darkness, but I caught a glimpse of a light in the darkness.

It was a simple and beautiful candlestick. As the candlelight flickered, Xiao Chen heard someone say to him carefully, "It's late, Your Majesty, please go to bed early..."
