Chapter 76 He's Sick
"Wow, Captain Song really knows how to have fun, flirting on the channel?"
This statement immediately shifted the focus of the "conflict" to matters of the heart, making it far more interesting than a simple work-related conflict.
"Xu Songning is quite pretty, how did you manage to win her over?"
"I've heard of her before, but I never imagined she'd become my sister-in-law."
"I haven't heard that Xu Songning has a boyfriend, he's single, right?"
"Didn't you see what Captain Song said? They've probably been together for a while now."
"You two had a fight today, which made me quite nervous. I didn't expect it to be your lovey-dovey stuff! It's really scary. I was wondering which captain was so audacious as to keep pressing the approach team about when we could land."
After saying that, Song Qing'an deliberately stopped talking in the group. He intended to guide public opinion, and once the topic had completely tilted in the direction he imagined, he would gracefully withdraw.
Xu Songning, you ruined my reputation, so I'll let you taste what it's like to be entangled with me!
"He's sick, and I have nothing to do with him," Xu Songning commented with a smile, handing the phone back to the girl.
"Wouldn't that ruin your reputation?" the girl said indignantly.
He did it on purpose. Xu Songning could tell with a grain of salt that Song Qing'an was engaging in childish revenge.
"Can you add me to this group?" Xu Songning asked the girl.
The girl shook her head. "Now, adding people to the group requires verification from the group owner. Sister Xu, if you need to prove your innocence, I can help you! Say what you want to say using my account."
“I’m afraid I can’t explain it clearly if I use your account. Send me the group owner’s WeChat, I’ll contact him and ask him to let me in.” Xu Songning took out his phone and waved it at her.
Of course, the girl was happy to help. Air traffic controllers are like family, and besides, Sister Xu is so beautiful that Captain Song who spread rumors doesn't deserve her!
When the girl sent him her WeChat ID, Xu Songning added the group admin, noting: "Xu Songning, East China Air Traffic Control".
She was the talk of the town in the East China Civil Aviation group all afternoon.
Song Qing'an watched with smug satisfaction as the message scrolled through hundreds of comments, then promptly dropped a bombshell using his alternate account: "Xu Songning is certainly diligent at work, but her private life is questionable. I've long heard that Xu Songning is a slut; she was even flirting with someone else's boyfriend before."
These words were quickly screenshotted and spread from person to person, eventually reaching Lu Xiaomeng.
When Lu Xiaomeng woke up and saw the message, she almost exploded. With her toothbrush still in her mouth, she cursed, "What kind of bitch dares to spread rumors about my Sister Xu!"
"What's wrong, Mengmeng?" Lu's mother, wearing an apron, was in the kitchen preparing to cook something for her. It was past mealtime, and everyone had already finished eating. Lu Xiaomeng slept for a long time, so whenever she woke up, she would cook her a new meal. Knowing that her daughter worked hard, she never bothered her.
"Mom, some bad guys are talking badly about Sister Xu!" Lu Xiaomeng, her mouth full of cherry blossom-flavored foam, tapped her phone screen a few times, but because her hands were wet, the screen didn't respond at all.
"Oh dear, you young people are really hot-tempered. Xu is such a good girl, and people are talking bad about her? You have to help her, don't let her be bullied," Lu's mother replied, then asked, "Mengmeng, what do you want to eat?"
Lu Xiaomeng brushed her teeth quickly, answering her mother amidst the flying white foam, "Poached egg and noodles, not hungry."
The noodles cooked quickly, and by the time she sat down at the table, her mother had already served them, drizzling a drop of sesame oil on top. The noodles were soft, smooth, and not clumpy.
"Thank you, Mom! You've worked so hard." Lu Xiaomeng hugged her mother and kissed her on the cheek.
Lu's mother was already used to her daughter's clingy nature even at her age. She gently patted her waist and said, "Eat up. Mom will stir-fry some chili and pork for you. Eat slowly, and I'll mix it into your noodles later."
"Okay~" Lu Xiaomeng sat down, but instead of starting to eat, she opened Xu Songning's chat window and sent her the screenshot.
Then, she opened the group chat that she had previously hidden.
There's no way around it, she's too popular and has a lot of group chats. She usually just collapses the unnecessary groups and ignores the messages in them, but occasionally she'll click in to peek and see what gossip everyone is sharing.
She remembered the groups in East China. With so many connections, her WeChat was destined to be anything but ordinary. People would invite her to any interesting groups, and they even had a group specifically for sharing gossip from the civil aviation circle.
The East China Civil Aviation Group was prominently featured. When she clicked in, the group was still discussing the matter. She scrolled through the records and recorded the screen to find the small account that spread the rumor. She clicked into the small account's Moments. The two were not friends, and she could not see any updates. There was only a background photo of the Moments, which was a photo of the shadows of the two people leaning together.
Lu Xiaomeng got excited. Could this be Song Qing'an's alternate account used to lure Meng Ling?!
All the turmoil started with Song Qing'an's ambiguous words and the rumors spread by this alternate account. If you say that this alternate account has nothing to do with him, she would never believe it even if you beat her to death!
Lu Xiaomeng collected all the evidence, packaged it up, and sent it to Xu Songning.
Xu Songning received the message just as he was getting off work.
She hadn't been added to the East China Civil Aviation Group, but she received screenshots and videos from Lu Xiaomeng. After watching them, she understood.
Lu Xiaomeng: Sister Xu, he's really shameless! He'll even say such things. Let me help you clarify things.
Xu Songning didn't want to clarify things through others. She wanted to wait for the group admin to add her to the group through her friend so she could confront Song Qing'an face-to-face and make him apologize to her in front of hundreds of people before the matter would be over.
Xu Songning: You don't need to clarify, I'll do it myself.
Lu Xiaomeng: Sister Xu, look at this alternate account, it's too suspicious. I suspect it's an alternate account that Song Qing'an used to lure Meng Ling. Look at this photo in the Moments, it matches a solo photo in Meng Ling's Moments. The way the hair is styled, the length of the skirt, and the size of the figure are all the same!
Xu Songning: When did you become a detective?
Lu Xiaomeng: I am the modern-day Sherlock Holmes. I'll go and probe Meng Ling about this matter. If I can prove that this alternate account belongs to Song Qing'an, then he won't be able to deny it!
Xu Songning: Then I'll have to trouble you, Xiaomeng. Before I join the group, please don't say anything. Just collect evidence of Song Qing'an's rumors.
Xu Songning: He won't find out about you, will he?
Lu Xiaomeng: There are hundreds of people in the group. I don't use my real name and I almost never speak. He has no chance of remembering me.
Xu Songning sent an OK emoji, crossed his legs, spun his phone around on his knee a few times, and gently tapped his thigh.
This Song Qing'an is really something. His own dirty secret was exposed in front of everyone, and he got so angry that he wanted to drag her down with him.
Meng Ling is a flight attendant, so it's inevitable that she'll be working with him sometimes. If she's right, Song Qing'an definitely won't miss any opportunity to make things difficult for Meng Ling. After all, as the whistleblower, Meng Ling will certainly suffer more anger.
Xu Songning felt she needed to contact Meng Ling, but the more important thing now was to wait for the group admin to accept her friend request and add her to the group.
She waited all day, but the group admin didn't accept her friend request, so she applied to add him as a friend again.
A message popped up on my phone.
The friend request was rejected by the group admin.
