Baomei is a person of action. After hanging up the phone with Qiao Yiyi, she immediately poked her cousin.
When she learned that the house had not been rented out yet, she excitedly told Qiao Yiyi the good news and sent her a video showing the house.
Qiao Yiyi clicked on the video and saw a very exquisite and compact one-bedroom apartment. It was bright and transparent with excellent lighting. There was a floor-to-ceiling window in the living room and a balcony in the bedroom. The furniture looked brand new.
Although the house is not as big as where she lives now, it looks clean and comfortable overall, and the rent is much lower.
This just fits Qiao Yiyi's recent need to be frugal.
Baomei said that this house has never been lived in. The owner is a newlywed woman. This house was her pre-marital home. It has been vacant since it was renovated two years ago. The furniture and appliances were newly purchased because she planned to rent it out.
The most important thing is that the floor is not high, it is on the 5th floor.
5 is Qiao Yiyi's lucky number.
She immediately made the decision without hesitation: "This is it."
Baomei didn't expect her to make a decision so quickly, so she asked, "Don't you want to go take a look first?"
Qiao Yiyi was very straightforward: "No, I don't like to dither, and I trust my first feeling!"
Baomei smiled brightly: "Okay, then I'll go talk to my brother right away and ask him to talk to the landlord to see if we can get a better deal. Then when you move, call me and my brother and I will help you move."
Qiao Yiyi: "Okay, thank you in advance."
Now that the housing problem was solved, Qiao Yiyi was in a very happy mood. She planned to change her clothes and go to the pet hospital to see Dough.
Since its owner has found it, it will probably be taken home soon, and she will be moving soon. Dough is so smart and well-behaved that she really can't bear to part with it.
After changing her clothes, Qiao Yiyi took a taxi. As soon as she got in, the driver looked through the rearview mirror and asked her, "Are you the Qiao Yiyi?"
Qiao Yiyi now panicked when she heard someone ask her this question. Nine times out of ten, the next question would be bad, especially since her recent "scandal" of abusing small animals was well known to everyone. Everyone called her a beast in human form and a vicious woman, and they started to boycott her again.
So much so that she didn't dare open Weibo for the past two days and could only numb and comfort herself.
But… she picked up her phone and took a picture of herself on the screen.
She was clearly wearing a mask and a hat, so how did the driver recognize her?
Before Qiao Yiyi could verify it, she heard the driver mutter to himself, "The news reported what happened two days ago. That guy is a real scum among us men. He actually treated a little girl like that. If my daughter was treated like that, I would break his legs and his hands. Let's see how he can beat anyone again!"
Qiao Yiyi was frightened when she heard this, but she still nodded in agreement.
Then I heard the uncle say, "Luckily, there is a kind girl like you who helps her."
Qiao Yiyi: “???”
She was even more confused. What did the uncle mean by this? Did he miss something?
Qiao Yiyi quickly opened Weibo.
After the screen flashed with the photo of He Yao, a handsome and charming spokesperson for a high-end luxury brand, she saw a trending search with her name.
Instead of clicking on it directly as usual, this time, Qiao Yiyi prepared herself mentally before she had the courage to click on it.
What caught the eye was not the sharp condemnation from the media and the abuse from netizens, but a letter of thanks.
A thank-you letter from Ms. Cao, the owner of the dough.
To Qiao Yiyi——
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Teacher Yiyi. Thank you for sending Dough to the pet hospital for treatment when it was injured and for taking such meticulous care of it.
I would like to clarify here that Teacher Yiyi does not abuse animals.
Dough is the dog I have raised for a year. The injuries on its body... were not caused by Teacher Yiyi. On the contrary, it was Teacher Yiyi who took care of Dough when I could not be with it.
…
Qiao Yiyi didn't expect that the owner of the dough would personally send such a thank-you letter.
Netizens didn't believe it at first and thought it was the latest public relations model of Qiao Yiyi's team. It was not until they saw a social news report in the official media of Urban Life that they realized that the owner of the dough was the girl who was abused in the social news.
The dough was injured because it was hurt by its hostess's scumbag ex-boyfriend.
People even speculated whether Ms. Cao's rescue was related to Qiao Yiyi.
A reporter from the official media of Urban Life said that according to information, the police mobilized personnel to provide rescue after receiving a call from someone claiming to be a good friend of Ms. Cao. However, according to Ms. Cao herself, due to restrictions imposed by her ex-boyfriend, she no longer has many friends around her, and it is even more unlikely that there is a female friend who understands her situation and cares about her safety.
Therefore, who was the person who called became the focus of heated discussion among netizens.
However, in order to protect the privacy of the person who called the police, the police did not reveal any information.
So netizens discussed it over and over again, and thought it should be Qiao Yiyi, but they also felt that it was not right. How did Qiao Yiyi know these things?
Regardless, the truth has come to light, and the marketing accounts that were previously leading the trend have changed their tune.
Red V Gua Ge: We strongly condemn the acts of violence against small animals. We must learn from @乔依伊呀哟老师 and protect the innocent world of small animals with kindness and the light of justice.
As soon as he posted this Weibo, netizens immediately commented.
Gai Jiao Fan OVO: In? Didn't you strongly condemn Qiao Yiyi before? Why don't you condemn her anymore?
Angry Tomato: This kind of marketing account should be reported and blocked. What a bunch of idiots trying to make money by stirring up trouble! They still have the nerve to ride on Teacher Yiyi's popularity.
Xiao Qiao's fan: You almost led me astray. Angry.jpg
It’s Chengcheng: From today on, I declare that I am a die-hard fan of Qiao Yiyi. No matter how you criticize her in the future, I will not waver!
A WeChat group of a marketing account.
Red V Gua Ge complained in the group: "No, what kind of thing is this? I didn't make any money, and I got into trouble!"
Music Industry News: "Didn't the boss pay the fees?"
Red V Gua Ge: "They only gave me an advance payment, but then things turned around and they were unwilling to pay."
Listen to Xiaoqiang chattering: "Fuck, which boss is so stingy? Tell us and we will block him."
Red V Gua Ge: "I'll take a screenshot for you later."
…
Qiao Yiyi was browsing Weibo and unknowingly arrived at the pet hospital.
She was in such a good mood that even after she got off the bus, the driver leaned out of the window and said, "Come on, little girl! Don't worry too much about what others think, and stick to your heart."
Qiao Yiyi thought that this uncle was quite trendy and kept up with the trends in the entertainment industry.
She nodded to the uncle and promised solemnly: "I will!"
This time, there were still some entertainment reporters squatting at the door of the pet hospital, including the two from last time.
One of them saw her and immediately ran over: "Teacher Yiyi, what do you think about being misunderstood by netizens?"
"Have you considered sending a lawyer's letter to the netizens and media outlets that spread rumors about you?"
Qiao Yiyi: “…”
I'm speechless.
Sometimes she doesn't quite understand how these people think.
Without wanting to say a word, Qiao Yiyi rushed straight to the hospital.
The medical staff who had previously misunderstood her for abusing the dog and pointed fingers at her behind her back felt embarrassed to see her again.
Dr. Li, who had always been indifferent to her, changed his attitude this time. Not only did he take the initiative to take her to see the dough, but his tone of voice also became much gentler.
"Ms. Cao is here. She might take the dough away today."
Qiao Yiyi was surprised: "So sudden? I thought I would have to stay a few more days."
Doctor Li: "Dough's injuries have improved and he no longer needs to stay in the hospital."
Qiao Yiyi: "Oh oh."
As they were talking, the two of them came to the infirmary.
Qiao Yiyi saw a thin, haggard lady with wounds on her arms and face. She thought this must be Ms. Cao.
Seeing Qiao Yiyi, Ms. Cao hurried over, held her hand and kept thanking her: "Thank you for taking care of Dough, thank you for saving me!"
Ms. Cao acknowledged that the female friend who called the police was her, and her words were full of gratitude.
Qiao Yiyi was a little embarrassed by her enthusiasm and said, "No, I didn't do anything. Besides, the dog is so kind. If anyone saw Dough injured, they wouldn't just leave it alone."
She also encouraged Ms. Cao not to be affected by the bad things that happened in the past, to live a good life, take good care of her body, and that a better tomorrow is waiting for her in the future.
Dr. Li heard what Qiao Yiyi said and looked a little ashamed.
He regretted that he had believed the slanderous remarks made online against Qiao Yiyi and looked at her through tinted glasses.
Qiao Yiyi...she is clearly not what people say on the Internet.
She is a very loving female artist.
Ms. Cao's eyes instantly turned red.
After this incident, her mood hit rock bottom and she was severely damaged both physically and mentally.
But when she saw Qiao Yiyi's bright smile and her words of encouragement, and thought about what she had learned online in the past two days about how Qiao Yiyi had been blacklisted by the entire network some time ago, and even how she had been misunderstood by everyone just two days ago, she still maintained a positive and sunny attitude.
She suddenly felt that life might not be so bad.
She still has the ability to love life again.
She expressed her gratitude to Qiao Yiyi again and promised: "I will go back to my hometown and start over again."
Qiao Yiyi was surprised: "You want to leave?"
Ms. Cao: "Well, I came to this city because of him. Now we're separated, and there's no need for me to stay here anymore. I want to go back and start my own life."
Qiao Yiyi: "That's fine too. Change the place, change the life."
Ms. Cao: "Thank you for your understanding." Then she sighed, as if she was troubled by something, "But the dough and I have to be separated..."
Qiao Yiyi: "You're not going to take it with you?"
Ms. Cao: "Dough's injury hasn't healed yet. My home is too far from here, and my parents are urging me to go back. I'm worried about the bumpy road and if anything happens to Dough, I plan to find a new owner for it. Also... I'm worried that I won't be able to take care of it and hurt it again..."
The dough next to her seemed to understand. It let out a howl and stretched out its claws to grab Ms. Cao's clothes to express its protest and reluctance.
Qiao Yiyi frowned, thinking that this matter was too sudden, but she could also understand Ms. Cao's approach.
After all, it would be difficult to rebuild confidence in the short term after experiencing something like this.
She thought for a moment, and then made up her mind and said to Ms. Cao, "If you trust me, you can leave the dough to me."
It just so happened that she was planning to adopt a dog after moving.
Ms. Cao was slightly surprised, then became extremely excited: "I believe it, of course I don't! If it's Teacher Yiyi's words, I can't believe it more! Don't worry, I will transfer all the previous medical expenses and future support to you."
Qiao Yiyi waved her hand. "No need. Dough and I get along pretty well." She consoled him in a self-deprecating tone, "I used to have such a bad reputation because of Dough. Now people don't scold me as much. Just think of it as PR money for Dough."
Ms. Cao almost couldn't hold back her tears again and could only keep repeating the word "thank you".
Dr. Li, who had never left from beginning to end, now felt that Qiao Yiyi's image in his heart was even more majestic.
He, a man who never chases stars and is very disdainful of things in the entertainment industry, announced from this moment on that Qiao Yiyi would be his goddess from now on.
Next time she brings her pet here for medical treatment, he will definitely give her the maximum discount!
