Chapter 274 Yao Yao, Don't Be Too Sensible
Jin Qingyu was silent for a moment, clearly unsure how to handle the situation. In the end, he said, "I'll have Xu Wei contact her first. We'll discuss the specifics after Xu Wei meets with her."
Jin Qingyu was clearly unwilling to mention Jiang Cancan, and his attitude was noticeably evasive whenever she was mentioned.
Jiang Xingyao said, "She won't cooperate. Since she's caused such a mess, she definitely won't let it go so easily."
She knew Jiang Cancan's tricks all too well; there was no way the other party would stop just because someone else offered a few words of discussion.
Jin Qingyu said, "I'll handle it. You just need to focus on this live stream."
Jiang Xingyao said, "The best way to deal with someone like Jiang Cancan is to ignore her."
Especially since Jiang Cancan is clearly not doing well, contacting her at this time would be like being entangled by a blood-sucking leech, impossible to shake off.
"Yaoyao, are you going to say that the innocent will clear themselves? Once you get involved in this kind of dirty business, there will be no end to it."
Even if everyone here today knows that the person in the video isn't you, it doesn't stop the rumors from spreading. How many people around you actually know you? You'll be interacting with even more people in the future. What if everyone looks at you with those strange eyes? Do you know how much that will affect you?
Qu Xinting appeared out of nowhere, pushing a wheelchair to Jiang Xingyao's side, and asked in a lecturing tone.
After Qu Xinting and Jiang Xingyao had their conversation, they were rarely this serious. Jiang Xingyao was stunned for a moment, unsure of how to respond.
Qu Xinting then said, "Yaoyao, I can ignore other things, but when it comes to your own statement, you absolutely cannot be careless."
Moreover, your industry places particular emphasis on these things, so this matter must be resolved properly.
"But Jiang Cancan..."
“What are you afraid of? Didn’t someone say they would take care of it for you? Just leave everything to them. Sometimes you don’t need to worry too much,” Qu Xinting said.
Jiang Xingyao frowned. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Perhaps she had been taken advantage of by Jiang Cancan too many times. Whenever Jiang Cancan was involved, she could never make a decision.
Qu Xinting probably sensed her hesitation, so she pulled her aside and said, "Jin Qingyu has been trying to impress you lately, hasn't he? This is a great opportunity."
Let him handle this. If he doesn't handle it well, use this opportunity to sever ties with him.
Fearing that Jiang Xingyao still couldn't make a decision, Qu Xinting put her hand on her shoulder again, her words carrying a hint of reassurance: "Yaoyao, many things need to be decided as soon as possible. Delaying will only be bad for everyone."
Jiang Xingyao nodded and said, "I understand. I'll listen to you."
Qu Xinting nodded: "That's right, I'll go talk to him."
She didn't try to hide anything and directly asked Jin Qingyu to resolve the matter in front of Jiang Xingyao, to which Jin Qingyu readily agreed.
As Jiang Xingyao watched her departing figure, her heart suddenly felt a little chaotic. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She and Jin Qingyu had already severed their relationship, and even if Jin Qingyu was now showing her all kinds of concern, she shouldn't waver.
Whether he stays or leaves, it doesn't matter to me.
But now, the thought that Jiang Cancan might be back soon made Jiang Xingyao feel uneasy.
Qu Xinting patted Jiang Xingyao on the shoulder again and asked, "Are you wavering?"
Jiang Xingyao shook her head almost immediately, looking eager to distance herself from the situation. Qu Xinting, instead of relaxing, frowned more and more. After a moment, she said, "Go in. We still need you inside."
Jiang Xingyao was in a state of confusion, and she really wanted to do something else to distract herself, so she hurriedly returned to the hotel.
An unusual silence fell over the hotel from the moment Jiang Xingyao entered. Although the day's sparring had convinced many of Jiang Xingyao's abilities, her return now brought with it a barrage of strange gazes.
The scrutiny and stares from those people even reminded Jiang Xingyao of the time she was suspected of plagiarism.
Faintly, Jiang Xingyao could hear people whispering, but the distance was too great for her to hear clearly.
Jiang Xingyao looked around but couldn't find any trace of Fila.
The atmosphere in the hotel made her feel awkward.
Under these strange looks, she was a little unsure of what to say.
The people who had challenged her today seemed to have organized a group to walk towards Jiang Xingyao. Jiang Xingyao put on her usual calm demeanor, gave a gentle and polite smile, and greeted them.
"We've seen all that stuff online."
“You’ve always been with us, and we believe that wasn’t you.”
“We all know that this kind of thing is very important to a woman. If you need clarification, please remember to tell us. We are willing to cooperate with you to clarify things.”
Several people talked at once, but there was no longer any intention to target anyone; everyone had a serious expression on their face.
Jiang Xingyao also noticed that there were several people in the group who had not yet competed against her, and these people were all looking at Jiang Xingyao with eager eyes.
One of the loudest voices explained, "We're just a little upset about your championship, but those who take advantage of the situation to spread rumors are even more despicable."
If needed, everyone here is willing to clarify things for you.
Jiang Xingyao's anxious heart gradually calmed down: "Then I'll thank everyone in advance."
"Don't rush to thank us. We're just helping you with this. The competition and sparring will still proceed as scheduled," someone immediately reminded them.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Of course, I will definitely prove to everyone that I deserve this championship."
The atmosphere, interrupted by this, became warm again. Fila appeared out of nowhere and ran to Jiang Xingyao's side. She asked, "So, Weiyi, when do you plan to clarify things?"
Jiang Xingyao then realized: "You arranged for all those people to be there?"
Fila said, "Yes, I think your strength alone is too small. Why not mobilize everyone to help you clarify things?"
Actually, many people here, even if they don't say it, have already started to admire you. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to persuade them. This is all thanks to you.
Despite saying that, Jiang Xingyao still thanked Fila. Fila then said, "The place next to where you were doing your live stream today is the studio you mentioned to me before, right? I went to check it out, and I really like it here. When can I come and work here?"
Jiang Xingyao said, "You can come anytime you want."
Fila then asked, "Can I ask Eric to come too?"
“Ereed? He can come if he wants, but he…”
“Oh, well, it’s because Teacher Nelia passed away, and Tyre is still locked up. All the staff at Teacher Nelia’s studio have run away, and he didn’t know where to go, so I sent him to come and stay with us,” Fila said.
Jiang Xingyao nodded: "The studio is about to expand, and I would like to welcome you to join us in advance."
Fila was very excited and ran out to call Eric again.
In the following days, Jiang Xingyao continued to spar with the challengers via live stream as usual, and her days were very busy. The video seemed to be just a flash in the pan, and it didn't have any other impact on Jiang Xingyao in the past few days.
Jiang Xingyao hadn't seen Jin Qingyu for the past few days. She thought that Jin Qingyu had really resolved the matter, but on the last day of the competition, photos and videos flooded the internet.
Besides the video I saw last time, there were also photos from various angles, each featuring a woman who looked remarkably like Jiang Xingyao, behaving intimately with men of all types. She deliberately showed the half of her face that resembled Jiang Xingyao's, and with the deliberate embellishment in the photos and videos, she looked even more like Jiang Xingyao.
In addition, there were many offensive comments online, all saying that the piano champion had amazing skills and that the $25 price tag was a great deal.
These things were exposed at exactly 8 PM, when everyone was finishing their day's work and preparing to rest and relax. In just an instant, they went viral on social media.
Although the trending topic was removed within minutes, a new one immediately rose to the top, with more and more people commenting, including many domestic accounts.
Qu Xinting saw the message before Jiang Xingyao, and she immediately contacted Jiang Xingyao: "Call Jin Qingyu and ask him if this is how he handled it?"
"That'll be all for today, see you tomorrow..."
"Yaoyao, when will you stop being so sensible? Don't forget, from the very beginning, it was he who took the initiative to resolve this matter."
Whether he wants to pursue you or make amends, since he took on the task, he wants to impress you. Under these circumstances, what is there that you can't ask?
"Don't you want to get rid of him? Then you don't need to consider his feelings at all, just ask him directly." Qu Xinting was a little exasperated.
She pulled out Jiang Xingyao's phone and stared at her, demanding that she make a call.
Jiang Xingyao wasn't the type to be aggressive. Even before she and Jin Qingyu divorced, she wouldn't call to inquire about his whereabouts.
Now, urged on by Qu Xinting, Jiang Xingyao's fingertips stiffened slightly. She thought about her overly distant relationship with Jin Qingyu and felt that even if she called him, she would have nothing to say.
Qu Xinting couldn't wait for Jiang Xingyao's personality, so she simply dialed the number for Jiang Xingyao. Listening to the dial tone, Jiang Xingyao felt very confused, as if she had returned to a long time ago when she was waiting for Jin Qingyu's call.
She suddenly became a little worried that the call might also end up being a busy signal.
