Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Clearly aware of the hidden...
Xu Qinghu stood on the rooftop of the third floor, overlooking the lights of thousands of homes on the opposite bank.
As time passed, the lights went out one by one, but she was not sleepy at all. Instead, she faced the night wind, her long hair fluttering gently in the slightly dim night, like a butterfly about to fly on the wind.
The phone vibrated briefly a few times. Looking at the message on the screen, Xu Qinghu lowered his eyes and replied a few words nonchalantly with his slender fingers.
There was a lot of public opinion on the Internet, but she was not as anxious as she had imagined. Instead, she enjoyed the feeling of going against the wind.
Always real.
Feeling fully and authentically alive.
There were faint footsteps behind me.
A slender figure walked up to her, and a faint fragrance came in the wind. The top note was a pure and slightly sweet apple scent, followed by jasmine and rose, and then a quiet base note that was a blend of various spices.
It reminds people of bright spring days or encounters on spring nights.
Xu Qinghu didn't turn around. She put her phone aside and said in a slightly cold voice, "Why aren't you sleeping so late at night? Are you free?"
The man walked up to her and remained silent for a moment until Xu Qinghu glanced at him. He then stared at Xu Qinghu's face and said in a very soft voice: "You can not get back together with me for the time being, but I can't stand those who are indiscriminate, and I can't stand so much abuse and questioning. I..."
"You know I can handle it." Wu Xuan looked into Xu Qinghu's eyes and said slowly: "Why..."
"Because everyone has their own path to walk," Xu Qinghu interrupted him. "Can you help me solve my current dilemma? Can you help me solve it for the rest of my life?"
"Why not?" Wu Xuan lowered his head and said seriously, "I can."
Listening to his slightly childish words, Xu Qinghu said: "There are some things you can't solve."
Just like her original fate, if she herself cannot be free, how can others help her?
"You should just focus on your studies," Xu Qinghu turned his head away. "If I need you, I'll come straight to you."
She didn't mind other people's help, but she wanted to resolve the grudge between herself and the characters in the novel by herself for the time being. Otherwise, how unhappy would she be when she thought about it in the future?
Ever since she knew that this was a world of fiction, she had been constantly speculating on the real cause of her own death. Every time she thought about it, she felt a little more resentful.
Always unwilling to give up.
The future she had planned was destroyed so easily.
The protagonist's life is brilliant, but she can only rot and stink in the mud. How stingy and mean.
"When?" Wu Xuan pressed on, "When can I help you?"
"It will happen," Xu Qinghu looked at the darkened tall buildings, "and then you will play a big role."
At this point, she looked at him deliberately and said, "But now, you have to be good and don't cause me any trouble."
Her tone was gentle, which calmed Wu Xuan's emotions very well.
"What happens after the dating show ends?" he couldn't help but ask, "Will you still flirt with those people? I..."
He paused, "Laifu misses you very much. He sleeps on the Abebe you bought for him every day. He can't live without you..."
He seemed to be very accustomed to saying these words, not feeling ashamed at all. He kept looking at Xu Qinghu's face, and his voice became softer, "...Me too."
After saying this, he seemed to want to hold Xu Qinghu's hand, but because they had already broken up, he could only restrain his behavior.
Xu Qinghu: "Fubao was awarded to you when we broke up."
"You still call it Fubao," Wu Xuan subconsciously retorted, and seriously corrected: "It's called Laifu."
Xu Qinghu rolled her eyes secretly. The two of them had been arguing over the kitten's name since they adopted it. Wu Xuan initially let her choose the name, but when he found out that she wanted to call him Fubao, he immediately became unwilling and deprived her of the right to name it. After thinking for a long time, he chose the name Lai Fu.
In short, it is impossible to call him Fubao.
Xu Qinghu glanced at him and asked, "What's the difference between Lai Fu and Fu Bao?"
"Why not?" Wu Xuan said, "In short, this name doesn't work."
Xu Qinghu was too lazy to argue with him. He glanced at the time on his phone and said, "You should go to bed."
After saying that, she signaled him to leave first with her eyes.
Wu Xuan stood there, still looking at her. After a moment, he said in a serious tone: "Xu Qinghu, I don't know what you are hiding from me, but I know that you will not leave me easily."
The process of him and Xu Qinghu being together was too difficult. It took him a long time to get close to her. He didn't believe that she would fall deeply in love with another person in just over a month.
Every time he quarreled with her over some trivial matter, she would always say that she didn't have the patience to like another person and asked him not to cause her trouble, otherwise she would kick him away.
Although these were all harsh words, he did not feel angry, but instead felt full of security.
He once thought that there were too many external factors for Xu Qinghu to be with him, and suspected that her feelings for him were not love, but just because he happened to appear when she needed him the most.
But after they fell in love, Xu Qinghu's attitude towards him did change. He thought they would be together for a long time, but Xu Qinghu broke up without any warning.
Until now, he still cannot accept this fact.
Xu Qinghu ignored him and turned to walk downstairs. Wu Xuan saw him and followed him.
There is too much public opinion online. Although He Shengnian usually doesn't pay attention to these things, since he represented Xu Qinghu's case, he specifically asked his subordinates in the company to tell him in time after seeing relevant reports.
As a result, he received a message from his subordinates in the middle of the night saying that Xu Qinghu had been hacked again.
"The Qiao family must be using this as a shield," the subordinate said, "but this time they're spreading obscene rumors, and the consequences are even more serious than last time."
Even if the rumors can be cleared up, as long as Xu Qinghu enters the entertainment industry, it will affect her external image.
When He Shengnian saw the photos circulating online, he clearly couldn't tell the true relationship between Xu Qinghu and those people, but many netizens were still led astray.
"Suppress public opinion first," He Shengnian said solemnly, "I'll discuss with her how to handle the rest."
After saying that, he left the room and prepared to go downstairs to find out the details of the situation.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Wu Xuan coming down the stairs. He was wearing black pajamas and had a cold expression, like a ghost walking out of the darkness.
He Shengnian paused, not expecting that he was still awake so late.
Wu Xuan also saw him, and changed his usual indifference, and took the initiative to ask: "You haven't slept yet?"
Xu Qinghu, who was standing at the corner of the stairs, heard the sound and stopped immediately.
He Shengnian said calmly, "I have something to deal with."
Wu Xuan nodded, but said nothing more and opened the door.
He Shengnian walked downstairs, looking at the messages coming in on his mobile phone, his eyes became increasingly cold.
He didn't expect that the Qiao family would throw dirty water on Xu Qinghu in order to control public opinion, nor did he expect that several financial bloggers would collectively expose the Qiao family's situation.
Every development was beyond his expectations.
Somewhere in the dark, he smelled an extremely subtle scent.
He stopped in the living room and faintly heard another pair of footsteps, which seemed to come from the second floor, and also seemed to come from the third floor.
In the dead of night, any slight noise becomes particularly noticeable.
He Shengnian's eyes dimmed slightly. Wu Xuan didn't sleep in the middle of the night. He thought he was relaxing on the rooftop. Was there someone else accompanying him?
Who is that person?
He turned and walked upstairs, but did not see any familiar figures on the second floor. He only heard the sound of a door closing.
But He Shengnian still determined the specific location, and his lips immediately pursed.
The tips of his fingers holding the phone turned slightly white, and he wondered if he had heard it wrong, but his five senses were so sharp that there was no way he could have made such a big mistake.
"Boss He?" Subordinates kept sending messages. "Public opinion has been mostly controlled, but this matter still requires Ms. Xu to come out and explain herself, otherwise public opinion will soon surge back."
"I understand," He Shengnian came back to his senses, "Let's stop here."
"What about the Qiao family?" the subordinate continued, "Do we need to give them a warning?"
The relationship between Qiao Wanshu and He Shengnian might still be able to improve, so it is not easy for subordinates to make a decision.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow."
He Shengnian strode forward. When he reached the door of a room, he paused and then returned to his room.
The next day, as soon as Xu Qinghu woke up, the program crew told her that she had been hacked.
She blinked, revealing a helpless expression. "Am I so unlucky? I was just accused of plastic surgery, and now I'm being accused of having an affair?"
"Let's clarify it quickly." Everyone who knew this was the work of the Qiao family knew it, and the director couldn't expose it. "Although being black and red is still red, if this happens too often, it will affect the reputation of the show."
"I know." Xu Qinghu opened his phone and saw all the comments under the account. He thought to himself that this was a plot that had never appeared in the novel.
She thought the Qiao family would not be so stupid and would directly expose the matter of her ex-boyfriend. She did not expect that they would actually contact the female classmate with whom she had a conflict.
It was worth it that she asked someone to repeatedly hint to her female classmates to use the photos to make money.
She remembered these old classmates, who were the ones who had thrown dirty water on her in school. They regarded Xu Qinghu as a thorn in their eyes just because the "school hunk" they liked had passed a love letter to him.
Either they said she had found a rich godfather, or they said she ran a hotel with some gangsters and might have contracted a serious disease.
Xu Qinghu went to talk to her homeroom teacher, but one of the teachers' parents were leaders in the school, so she had no choice but to swallow her anger if she wanted to graduate.
I didn’t expect that after so many years, these fish would still surface.
This was a pleasant surprise for Xu Qinghu.
Xu Qinghu and the director walked to the studio downstairs, where several cameras had been set up, facing her face directly, not missing any of her facial expressions.
When they saw her appearance, the popularity of the live broadcast room soared, and they all asked whether the revelations on the Internet were true?
Xu Qinghu sat in a chair, his face showing no guilt or fear. "The photos are real, but the revelations are not."
She opened her thin lips slightly, and her eyes were like a lake without ripples, calm and peaceful.
"I know everyone is curious about the truth of the matter, and I will answer all your questions one by one with solid and verifiable evidence."
