Chapter 216 Are you in love with my sister?
"What's wrong? Why does your face look so bad?"
Xu Yingluo raised her tearful eyes.
"I saw the trending search early this morning and was so scared. I called you but you didn't answer. I was so worried about you that I came straight here."
As she spoke, she sobbed and tears fell like beads from a broken string.
"Ah Che, I know, that trumpet is definitely not yours, right?"
"Those photos definitely weren't posted by you! AI technology is so advanced these days. Someone must have impersonated you and deliberately created those photos to frame you and damage your reputation. That has to be the case, right?"
AI synthesis?
Framed?
Every word Xu Yingluo spoke was like boiling oil, pouring on Jiang Chejin's already troubled heart.
These words used to gloss over the situation not only failed to bring him any comfort, but instead were like a loud slap in the face, burning him.
The reputation he wanted to protect was Xu Yueqing's.
The harm he wanted to prevent was also directed at Xu Yueqing.
But when it came to Xu Yingluo, everything became a conspiracy against Jiang Chejin.
Jiang Chejin's face darkened gradually.
His silent reaction made Xu Yingluo's heart skip a beat, as if she had been pushed to the edge of a cliff, and one more step back would be into the abyss.
The warmth of the embrace was still there, but the person holding her seemed to be thousands of miles away.
All the worries and fears she had felt along the way were pushed to the extreme at this moment.
Xu Yingluo's fingers, gripping his sleeve with such force, turned white, her voice trembling, "Ah Che, could it be that those photos, that account, are all yours?"
Once you tell a lie, you have to cover it up with countless lies.
Jiang Chejin's mind was in a mess, but he found a plausible excuse for himself almost instantly.
Anyway, it’s true that the photos were taken by myself.
At that time, I just wanted to take a picture of her like that, I had no other thoughts.
I'm not in love with Xu Yueqing.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Chejin's originally panicked heart calmed down.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Yingluo's tear-stained face, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.
"Luo Luo, that account is mine."
After a pause, he added another sentence as if he was afraid that she would not believe him.
“I took the photo, too.”
Xu Yingluo felt as if something exploded in her brain, her vision went dark, and she could hardly stand.
Her eyes widened, and all the color drained from her face.
"Are you in love with my sister?"
"Of course not!"
Jiang Chejin's denial was so quick that it seemed like an instinct. His voice suddenly rose in pitch, carrying a sense of guilt that he himself was not aware of.
This answer made Xu Yingluo feel a little relieved, but even greater confusion followed. She stared at him, as if she wanted to poke a hole in his face.
"Then why did you send out those photos at this time?"
Why?
Jiang Chejin's heart was stabbed hard by this question.
Because she didn't want to see those people talking about her like that.
To protect Xu Yueqing.
The answer emerged from the deepest part of his heart like a ghost without any warning, so clear that even he was startled.
He wants to protect Xu Yueqing?
How is that possible!
Jiang Chejin looked at Xu Yingluo's tearful face in front of him, and suddenly he couldn't say a single word of the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He chose silence again.
This time, the silence was like a heavy hammer, completely breaking down Xu Yingluo's last psychological defense.
