Her agent called her dozens of times before Ji Xinxin had even finished reading the content online when her agent called again.
"Ji Xinxin, is what's being said online true or false? If it's false, we need to clarify it as soon as possible! This topic has been trending on social media for half a day now!"
Ji Xinxin previously played a naive and innocent supporting female character in a wildly popular period drama. Although she wasn't as famous as a top star, most netizens still knew who she was.
The scandal of her being a gold digger and a gold-digging woman is now breaking out, which is very detrimental to her image and future!
"I..." Ji Xinxin stammered, unsure how to explain, because the online revelations were indeed true...
Her first reaction wasn't to explain to netizens, but to worry that Huo Jincheng would see this information.
She finally managed to get Huo Jincheng and Yu Chaoxi to break up, and Jincheng even announced to the public that they were boyfriend and girlfriend. She didn't want to go back to the days when she had nothing!
"Sister Zhao, could you stall to the company for a bit? We'll talk later. I have something more important to do!" Ji Xinxin hurriedly hung up the phone, wanting to go find Huo Jincheng.
When the door opened, Huo Jincheng was standing outside with his phone in his hand, looking rather unhappy.
Ji Xinxin's heart skipped a beat.
"Xin Xin, is the news online true?" Huo Jincheng asked, frowning.
Compared to what he hears online, he still believes Ji Xinxin more and wants to hear her deny it herself!
"Jincheng." Ji Xinxin pulled him into an empty corridor, away from the paparazzi, "What's being said online isn't true."
She explained anxiously, "I did have a boyfriend abroad, but he had nothing to do with my going abroad. I only met him a year ago, and we broke up after a few months because we weren't compatible."
Ji Xinxin gave a half-truthful explanation, knowing that it was impossible to completely deny it now; the priority was to dispel Huo Jincheng's doubts.
Huo Jincheng felt uncomfortable, and his voice carried a hint of displeasure. "Why didn't you tell me this before?"
“You didn’t ask before,” Ji Xinxin said sadly, lowering her eyes. “I only realized after I started dating him that no one can replace you in my heart.”
"That's why I decided to come back from abroad."
“When I broke up with that person, it was quite unpleasant. I guess he deliberately smeared me online to get revenge on me.”
Ji Xinxin's pitiful appearance softened Huo Jincheng's heart considerably, but he still had some doubts in his mind, "Then why does the internet say that no university in Country A has your graduation information?"
"Because... I dropped out of school. After we broke up, that man kept harassing me at my school. I was all alone and had no one to protect me. I didn't dare to confront him directly, so I dropped out." Ji Xinxin pushed all the blame onto her rich ex-boyfriend who had settled abroad.
Since he's not going back to China anyway, no one will call her out on what she's saying.
Huo Jincheng was already easily moved to pity, and hearing her say this made him even more heartbroken. He even regretted coming over to question her because of the comments online.
"And what's said online, that I abandoned you to go abroad because I think you're poor now, is complete nonsense! I found out your identity a long time ago. I only decided to go abroad because I was so angry that you pretended to be poor and deceived me."
Ji Xinxin quickly explained to Huo Jincheng the points that were being made against her online. As for evidence, she naturally didn't have any.
Whether netizens believe it or not is not important; what matters is that Huo Jincheng believes it.
Huo Jincheng believed him and hugged Ji Xinxin to comfort her, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."
“Leave the online stuff to me, I’ll handle it for you.” Then, remembering that his efforts to deal with the indecent video hadn’t been effective, he said, “At worst, I’ll ask my second uncle to help you resolve it. He happens to be on the show.”
"Wh...what?" Ji Xinxin looked up blankly, her voice suddenly rising, "Your second uncle is here too?!"
"Yes, Huo Linyuan is my second uncle."
Ji Xinxin was completely shocked and secretly blamed Huo Jincheng for not reminding her earlier. Yesterday, she had even implied that Huo Linyuan and Yu Chaoxi went on a date at sea.
Oh, right! What about Huo Linyuan and Yu Chaoxi...?
"Jincheng, what is the relationship between your second uncle and Yu Chaoxi?"
Huo Jincheng was reluctant to say, but when Ji Xinxin asked, he had no choice but to tell her, "They're together."
Ji Xinxin's face suddenly turned ugly. She had resolutely returned to China to be with Huo Jincheng because she saw that he would inherit the Huo Group and have a bright future.
But his second uncle is so young. Who knows, he might have children with Yu Chaoxi or another woman in the future. When will Huo Jincheng be able to inherit the Huo family?
"Xinxin, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly not talking?"
"It's nothing." Ji Xinxin came back to her senses. "I'm just worried that since Yu Chaoxi broke up with you and then got together with your second uncle, and she's talking badly about you to your second uncle, will he agree to help me?"
Huo Jincheng frowned, uncertainly saying, "Probably not. Chaoxi is very kind; she wouldn't deliberately prevent your second uncle from helping you."
In his memory, Yu Chaoxi had always been a kind and gentle person. How could she possibly stand by and watch someone die?
Seeing that Huo Jincheng not only showed no sense of crisis but also reminisced about Yu Chaoxi's good points, Ji Xinxin was furious. However, having just regained Huo Jincheng's trust, she shouldn't say anything more and could only silently swallow her words.
On the other side, Yu Chaoxi didn't have much luggage and packed it up quickly. She waved goodbye to her online friends and left Hai City with Huo Linyuan.
Huo Linyuan had already instructed his assistant Lin to prepare a private plane. When the two arrived at the airport, they flew directly from Shanghai back to Beijing.
Assistant Lin arrived at the airport right on time and was so surprised to see President Huo leading a bright-smiling young girl out that his jaw nearly dropped.
All he knew was that President Huo had suddenly gone to Hai City and invested in the program "Heartbeat Moment," but he was usually quite busy, especially when Huo Linyuan was away, most of the work had to go through him, so he had no time to pay attention to the situation in Hai City.
So little did they know that Huo Linyuan not only appeared on a dating reality show, but also brought back a girlfriend.
The moment he saw Yu Chaoxi, he thought he was hallucinating.
This...this...isn't this Huo Shao's ex-girlfriend? Why are they holding hands with President Huo?
Upon seeing Assistant Lin, Yu Chaoxi greeted him with a smile, "Assistant Lin, it's been a long time!"
Actually, it wasn't for very long. When she was a cat, she often saw Assistant Lin in the office.
Assistant Lin: ? Do they know each other?
Assistant Lin returned the smile politely, "Hello, Miss Yu."
At this moment, Huo Linyuan raised the two's tightly clasped hands and introduced them to him with a proud look, "Assistant Lin, Chaoxi is now my girlfriend."
Assistant Lin: !!!
Yu Chaoxi covered her face and silently pulled his hand down. Why did this man sound so boastful?
