Chapter 93 Chapter 93 All parties responded that there were too many people around her...
On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was relatively quiet.
Normally, Xu Qinghu would take the initiative to talk to He Shengnian and ask him the specific reason why he was unhappy.
But this time, perhaps it was his sudden indifference that made her feel a little tired. Instead, she didn't say a word and leaned back in the chair with her eyes closed to rest.
[It's over. Mr. He must have known about the video and isn't as enthusiastic about Hulu as before.]
CP fans smelled something bad.
[No, they're the ones I hate the most in the room, and I don't want anything to go wrong.]
[With He Shengnian's attitude, as long as Xu Qinghu still has some dignity, there's no way he can go back to the way things were before.]
[I feel so bad. Just because of a video, He Shengnian is going to doubt Hulu? After being together for so long, doesn't he even have this little bit of trust?]
[Isn't this something Xu Qinghu made himself?]
Such barrages quickly attracted countless ridicules.
[Was it him who made Xu Qinghu break up with her ex-boyfriend? Xu Qinghu said so many vicious things, why couldn't he reconsider her?]
[Xu Qinghu is so realistic. If I were He Shengnian, I would kick her out before we even hold hands. Didn't she do the same to her ex-boyfriend?]
After watching the video, my prejudice against Xu Qinghu was completely shattered. With the irrefutable evidence before her, no matter what she said, she couldn't clear herself.
[What good is that gold digger dreaming of? Just wait and see, she'll be kicked out of the dating show soon!]
This time the public opinion was so big that even the program crew couldn't control the overall situation. On the one hand, they were happy about the rapidly growing popularity of the live broadcast room, but on the other hand, they felt troubled by Xu Qinghu's incident.
If Xu Qinghu is really as she said in the video, the dating show may be banned because she has received too many reports, which is not the result they want to see.
Xu Qinghu's cell phone rang several times. She opened her eyes and looked at the message on the screen. After a moment, her long eyelashes trembled slightly and her expression changed obviously.
She looked at He Shengnian's profile and seemed to understand why he suddenly became so cold towards her.
Just because of a video.
He didn't even ask her why, but judged her in his mind.
A woman who will do anything to get to the top.
Maybe he didn't want to argue with her in front of the camera, but his overly distant and indifferent attitude still made her feel the distance between them.
As long as she didn't take the initiative, it seemed that they would only be left with this dead silence at this moment.
Xu Qinghu held the phone in her hand without saying a word. She looked at the passing scenery outside the window. The night was dark, and the street lights on both sides of the road were brighter than the stars in the sky.
She was like a leaf blown by the wind, not knowing where she would land.
Until He Shengnian parked the car at the door of the cottage and Xu Qinghu opened the door and walked down, she thought she would experience a scene from a novel -
Everyone stayed in the cabin, but no one cared about the truth of the matter. They just treated her as a transparent person and expressed their rejection of her with practical actions.
However, before Xu Qinghu could enter, the garden door opened from the inside. Ruan Xiaoyu and Wen Ruoxi were standing at the door. When they saw Xu Qinghu, they walked out quickly and asked, "Are you back?"
Ruan Xiaoyu took the initiative to approach her, hugged her arm as usual, and said with a smile: "Did you have enough dinner? We left some food for you."
Xu Qinghu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, "Thank you, I'm not hungry for the time being."
"Come in first," Wen Ruoxi said softly, looking at Xu Qinghu's slightly pale face, "If you have anything to say, we can talk about it in the cabin later."
Ruan Xiaoyu couldn't wait to say: "Hulu, do you know what delicious food Xiaoyou and I made tonight? Have you ever eaten Dapanji? I didn't expect that we succeeded in one try. Everyone said it was very delicious. You must try it in the future."
Xu Qinghu blinked and said, "Okay."
"Your hands are a little cold." Wen Ruoxi paused after touching Xu Qinghu's arm. "I made some flower tea. I'll pour you a cup later."
The concern lingering in his ears was like a gust of warm breeze, which made Xu Qinghu stunned and the coldness in his eyes melt away.
She thought that what awaited her would be countless cold stares, just like in the novel, where everyone hated her so much that they wanted to kick her out of the program.
But the scene at this moment made her realize that the plot of the novel had gradually changed.
The plots that shackle her are also affecting the people around her through her subtle resistance.
Not all efforts are in vain, and not all supporting roles are paper people.
They all have their own unique thinking and tendencies, and just a few words made her feel chosen.
It turns out that the vicious female supporting role can actually be seen by others.
Listening to the soft words beside her ears, Xu Qinghu's eyelashes drooped. This kind of warmth was not given to her by the male protagonist in the novel, nor by the male supporting role.
But he is the character with the weakest presence in the cabin.
In the endless darkness, the slowly ignited fireflies flickered and danced, more brilliant than tonight's fireworks.
Xu Qinghu moved her fingertips slightly, wanting to touch the faint light, but found that her palms were very warm. She was no longer the female ghost who had to walk alone at night even on rainy days.
She walked into the garden gate and saw Wu Xuan sitting on the swing. He was wearing black clothes and black pants, and seemed to be waiting for her.
When he saw her, he immediately stood up from the swing and looked at her quietly, like a puppy waiting for his owner's instructions.
Xu Qinghu didn't speak to him. He lowered his head and walked to the entrance to change his shoes.
The others were sitting in the living room talking. The atmosphere seemed relaxed, but in fact they were all waiting for her to come back.
Public opinion online was overwhelming. They already knew the ins and outs of the matter. Regardless of what they thought of Xu Qinghu, they all wanted to know how she would handle this crisis.
After all, this concerns the reputation of the program team. If the situation is allowed to develop, it will probably only backfire.
This time, unlike the previous two times, public opinion has fermented to an uncontrollable level, and if Xu Qinghu is not careful, it will be smashed to pieces.
Du Yanting sat on a single sofa, his arm supporting his chin. His handsome face showed no emotion at all, but by comparing before and after, it could be seen that he was not very calm.
Qiao Wanshu sat diagonally across from him, leaning back on the sofa with a very relaxed posture, and a barely perceptible glint of satisfaction in the corner of her eyes.
She had already received news that He Shengnian's attitude towards Xu Qinghu had changed drastically. This incident made him see Xu Qinghu's true face clearly, and he would part ways with her after tonight.
The development of events was exactly as she had imagined.
He Shengnian might accept Xu Qinghu's imperfect family background and her not-so-good experiences in the past, but his tolerance is limited and he would never accept Xu Qinghu's flaws in character.
I can't accept her worldliness, selfishness, greed, and inconsistency between her words and deeds.
He is a man with a bottom line, or rather, he has not yet thought of coming down from the clouds for Xu Qinghu.
Just as his brother said, he always had reservations about Xu Qinghu before they were actually together.
For example, it was not him who sent Qi Song abroad.
After learning that the negative information about Xu Qinghu in middle school was leaked by the Qiao family, he did not get angry, but just asked his subordinates to give him a slight warning.
His contribution to Xu Qinghu was limited.
Maybe after holding hands, he will truly bring Xu Qinghu into his protection, but that future will never come.
Qiao Wanshu had done so much homework and knew too well the men of high society. They could fall in love with beautiful women of humble status, but they would never place a time bomb around them.
Xu Qinghu has violated the rules.
This is a big taboo for He Shengnian.
This is also the comeback she has been waiting for for a long time.
Xu Qinghu, she repeated this name silently. Every time she murmured it, she had a glimpse of her final outcome, and the hidden jealousy and resentment in her heart would be alleviated a little.
"Xu Qinghu, don't blame me."
She thought to herself, it was you who revealed your flaws and let us catch you, this is what you deserve.
It seemed that this could wipe away the uneasiness deep in her heart and make her ignore the fact that all this was the result of her and the Qiao family's careful planning.
He deliberately chose the time when He Shengnian had some complaints about Xu Qinghu to naturally reverse their disadvantage.
If you want to blame someone, blame your own bad luck.
Qiao Wanshu thought to herself, who made you participate in the same dating show as me and compete with me for the same man?
Looking at the online abuse and questioning of Xu Qinghu, her heart felt lighter than ever before.
All her happiness now was based on Xu Qinghu's pain. The joy that only belongs to a winner made her feel like a long-awaited rain, and she could hardly restrain her true thoughts.
Seeing her raised mouth corners, Du Yanting's eyes dimmed slightly, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in his narrow eyes, "What are you thinking about?"
Qiao Wanshu raised her head and met his slightly cold eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. "Nothing."
Du Yanting raised the corner of his mouth, not knowing whether he thought she was too stupid or he was extremely disgusted with her. He smiled and said, "Did you encounter something happy?"
Sensing the coldness in his eyes, Qiao Wanshu immediately realized that he was doing it on purpose and said, "No, I was thinking about work."
Regardless of whether Du Yanting wanted to use her to guide public opinion, she could not let him catch her.
"Really?" The man narrowed his eyes. "I thought you were in such a good mood because something happy happened to you."
Qiao Wanshu shook his head and became secretly alert.
If we were to say who was the person with the most complicated emotions in the cabin, it would be Gu Jingchen, who was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The moment he saw the trending content, he felt a sharp pain in his mind, as if he had experienced this scene before.
The pain was so severe that he almost fainted. When he regained consciousness, many strange yet familiar memories appeared in his mind.
He got the date card and went out on a date with Qiao Wanshu, while Xu Qinghu waited obediently in the garden for him to come back. When she saw his car parked at the door, she couldn't wait to come out to pick him up.
She was wearing a low-key blue nightgown, with her hair draped softly over her shoulders. She looked delicate and beautiful, like a dodder clinging to him.
Although his face was indifferent, his eyes changed significantly when he saw her.
Pretending to be unhappy, he said, "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
"I'm waiting for you," Xu Qinghu raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes full of smiles, "I can't sleep if you don't come back."
Gu Jingchen was stunned. "Didn't I tell you not to wait?"
"Your words don't count," Xu Qinghu snorted. "I do whatever I want."
Looking at her bright eyes, Gu Jingchen's mind moved slightly. Just as he was about to walk towards her, Qiao Wanshu came over from the other side. Seeing their ambiguous attitude, his brows suddenly furrowed and he said to Gu Jingchen: "I'm a little tired. I'll go back and rest first."
After saying that, she didn't even look at Xu Qinghu, and walked towards the cabin without looking back.
At this time, although Qiao Wanshu's true identity has been exposed, because she is so popular in the dating show, the Qiao family's stock price has soared, and she has successfully maintained her identity as a rich lady.
Gu Jingchen's attitude towards her was always consistent. Seeing that she was a little angry, he immediately caught up with her and explained to her that he had nothing to do with Xu Qinghu.
It was Xu Qinghu who was pestering him from the beginning to the end, but she was the only one he liked.
Qiao Wanshu paused, turned back to look at his face, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Really? How can you prove it?"
Gu Jingchen immediately said: "If you don't believe me, I can confess in advance."
As the dating variety show is coming to an end, the production team has set up a segment for early confessions so that guests who can’t wait can prove their feelings in advance.
"No need." Qiao Wanshu continued to walk upstairs, "I believe you."
Listening to her slightly intimate words, Gu Jingchen thought she was very satisfied with his performance, and continued to say that he could take her to a more romantic place for a date next time.
Qiao Wanshu did not respond, and that night a video of Xu Qinghu breaking up with her ex-boyfriend in order to participate in the show was leaked.
Gu Jingchen thought he would not be angry. After all, after the scandals of "plastic surgery" and "improper private life", he was completely disappointed with Xu Qinghu.
But seeing her attitude towards her ex-boyfriend, he still felt that he had been fooled. He immediately found Xu Qinghu and asked her if she was using him.
In her memories, Gu Jingchen was like a madly roaring beast, his tall figure tightly enveloped Xu Qinghu, as if he wanted to swallow her completely.
It was also in the middle of the night like this that he stood in the living room and confronted Xu Qinghu, questioning her efforts and feelings, questioning all her flattery towards him, wishing he could reduce her to dust.
Xu Qinghu lowered his eyelashes and let him humiliate him as he pleased. Only after he said enough did he raise his head and look at his face, as if he had finally seen his true face.
Gu Jingchen was so angry at her look that he sneered, "People like you are only fit to rot and stink in the mud. Begging me to hold your hand is simply wishful thinking!"
Suppressing Xu Qinghu seemed to have become his norm after he participated in the dating variety show. The moment the hurtful words came out of his mouth, he felt extremely refreshed, but was also shrouded in huge disappointment.
Before this, he had never doubted Xu Qinghu's feelings for him, but after reality made him realize that Xu Qinghu might be deceiving him, the huge gap made it impossible for him to remain calm, and he could only use repeated reprimands to find balance.
Where is Xu Qinghu?
What did she say?
Gu Jingchen was brought back to his senses by the noise coming from the entrance. He subconsciously stood up and walked towards the door.
Xu Qinghu was changing her shoes with her back to him. She was not wearing the low-key blue nightgown in his memory, but a white long dress. Her hair was tied up and fixed with a pearl hairpin, revealing her white swan neck, which still looked beautiful and soft.
"You..." Gu Jingchen couldn't help but speak, only to find that his voice was extremely hoarse, "You're back?"
Xu Qinghu turned around and the moment he saw him, he just nodded to him and didn't speak to him.
Where is Xu Qinghu in my memory?
It seemed that he didn't say a word.
She just waited until he had vented all the doubts in his heart, looked at him deeply for a moment, and then turned and left.
She was alone at that time, with no one around her except him.
At this moment, He Shengnian's attitude towards her was still indifferent, but she was no longer alone.
There were Ruan Xiaoyu, Wen Ruoxi, and even Zhong Zining, who always had a sour face towards her, looked worried.
There are You Zhi, Wu Xuan, and Du Yanting.
It turns out that there are already so many people around her.
