Chapter 26 Clarifying Rumors
Because he was too tired the night before, Hu Xiaoxiao got up late the next day.
I looked at the time and decided to cancel my singing practice in the park this morning.
Turning on the TV, Hu Xiaoxiao started to wash up.
Baogang TV was broadcasting a news program. After talking about current affairs and people's livelihood, it turned to entertainment news.
Hu Xiaoxiao heard about Athena in the bathroom and came out with a toothbrush. He brushed his teeth while watching the news.
Athena clarified the incident on the show, "...the stray cats on Ronghua Street are so pitiful, they have nothing to eat and are sick. I couldn't bear it, so I took the cardboard boxes with the intention of sending them to the veterinary hospital for treatment and then taking them home to adopt."
"...What happened between me and the old lady was purely a misunderstanding. After she fell, I immediately rushed her to the hospital. Here's the hospital receipt for her medical expenses..."
On TV, Athena's eyes were red and she cried pitifully, but she didn't say a bad word about the old lady and the paparazzi the whole time.
After Hu Xiaoxiao returned to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and washed his face, he immediately went downstairs to get newspapers and magazines.
I flipped through the newspapers and magazines and found that several of them were reporting on this incident.
These reports are much more explosive than what is seen on TV news.
Pictures speak louder than words.
The pictures are all about the violent things done by the cleaning lady. Stealing cardboard boxes from people on the street is a small matter. She also throws garbage into people's shops on the street. There are also pictures of her yelling and throwing tantrums with neighbors in the street.
These pictures are from photos, and judging by the backgrounds, they weren't taken on the same day. Looking at the report, it turns out this woman is notoriously difficult to deal with on that street, having been photographed causing trouble more than once.
The report also includes interviews with neighbors.
"That old lady is a real street bully. She's the most difficult person on the whole street."
"Robbered cardboard boxes? More than once! Not to mention snatching things from people's hands, even if they were placed inside the store, she would go straight into the house to grab them."
"Some time ago, someone had an argument with her, and she threw feces at the other person's door."
…
The report was mostly about the neighbors expressing their dissatisfaction with the old lady and complaining to the reporter.
There were several reports from different newspapers, and the complaints from the neighbors were different. The old lady could be said to have achieved great success, and she was hated by everyone.
One of the entertainment magazines published today actually contained photos of the argument between Athena and the old lady that day, which were not published in yesterday's magazine.
There are photos of Athena standing on the roadside hailing a taxi, an old lady suddenly coming up to snatch the taxi, and there are also photos of Athena helping the old lady to the hospital.
All the reports are aimed at clearing Athena's name.
This time, Athena was stable and successfully survived the crisis.
After reading all the magazines and newspapers, Hu Xiaoxiao realized that there were no reports about Zhao Yanhong today. Neither her daily good deeds nor the intense fight she had with a man on the street last night had made it into the newspapers.
Things are getting a little intriguing.
Hu Xiaoxiao packed up her things, put on a whitening mask, put on a mask and a sun hat, went to her favorite breakfast shop downstairs to have breakfast, and then went to the TV station.
When Hu Xiaoxiao arrived, he looked at the time and found that it was twenty minutes earlier than usual, and most of the beauties had not arrived yet.
The TV station prepared snacks for them in the lounge so that the contestants who were in a hurry and had not had breakfast could take them, or so that they could satisfy their hunger during rehearsal.
Although Hu Xiaoxiao had already had breakfast, he still went to the lounge and saw some Chinese dim sum that he had never eaten before. He immediately thought that he should have another meal.
She took a box of yogurt, a portion of durian pastry, a portion of fried milk, and a portion of mung bean cake, found a place and started eating happily.
What does she like most in this world?
It is undoubtedly the delicious and rich variety of food.
Every time he eats something delicious, Hu Xiaoxiao feels that life is wonderful, the world is beautiful, and everything is worth cherishing.
She picked up the last piece of soft and glutinous mung bean cake and was about to eat it when a person stood in front of her, motionless.
Hu Xiaoxiao took a bite of the mung bean cake, chewed it carefully, then looked up at Zhao Yanhong, who was standing in front of her with a bad look on her face.
Hu Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of doubts, as if he was asking something?
Zhao Yanhong not only looked unhappy, but also tired. She stared at Hu Xiaoxiao with red eyes and gnashed her teeth, "Fox spirit!"
Hu Xiaoxiao widened his eyes in shock: How did she know?
I quickly turned around and looked back: Fortunately, the tail was not exposed.
She looked at the full-length mirror hanging on the wall again: Fortunately, fortunately, I am still a human being.
"Don't think I don't know! I saw it all!" Zhao Yanhong said hatefully.
Hu Xiaoxiao swallowed the mung bean cake with some difficulty and asked, "Where did you see it?"
"Fox spirit! Shameless!"
"I have my dignity." Hu Xiaoxiao retorted.
Who says vixens are shameless? They are also very respectable, okay?
"You still refuse to admit it. I saw everything last night. I saw it all!" Zhao Yanhong pointed at Hu Xiaoxiao and said, "You took advantage of someone's misfortune and Wansheng's misunderstanding of me to seduce him!"
After listening to this, Hu Xiaoxiao finally understood what Zhao Yanhong meant. It turned out that the vixen was this vixen.
"Seducing Wansheng?" Hu Xiaoxiao shook his head. "That's not happening. If you like that Wansheng, go after him. It has nothing to do with me."
She only likes money, making a lot of money and enjoying life.
And be a star, a big star, admired by thousands of people!
She likes to have money and a career.
Zhao Yanhong sneered, "Stop pretending in front of me. You want to be a mistress? Believe it or not, I'll tell the paparazzi about your seduction of Wansheng and make your reputation worse than Athena's."
Hu Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Your words irritated me."
Hu Xiaoxiao finished the last bite of mung bean cake and drank the last bite of yogurt, never wasting food.
He wiped his mouth with a tissue, put it down, and then stared at Zhao Yanhong with a gradually dangerous look in his eyes.
"Breaking news? The fight you had with someone in front of the western restaurant last night was the big news, right? Also, the fact that you bribed paparazzi to smear Athena is also a big news, right? Want me to break a few more for you?"
A trace of panic flashed across Zhao Yanhong's face. "You're talking nonsense."
"Is this nonsense? Do you want to give it a try?"
Zhao Yanhong gritted her teeth and wanted to say that she would give it a try, but in the end she didn't dare to say it. She had done too many bad things and couldn't stand being exposed.
The contestants gradually arrived, and some went to the lounge to get breakfast. Seeing Zhao Yanhong and Hu Xiaoxiao together, they asked, "What are you talking about? Is it about Athena?"
Zhao Yanhong, feeling guilty, immediately denied it, "No! Athena's matter has nothing to do with me!"
"Of course it has nothing to do with you. Could it be that you are the one who slandered it?" Shu Wen came in and heard it, and said jokingly.
Zhao Yanhong's face froze, she thought everyone was suspicious of her, but seeing that everyone was talking and laughing, it didn't seem like that.
She was suspicious and felt threatened by everything.
Apparently, she was still unaware of the morning news and the reports in the magazines and newspapers.
Hu Xiaoxiao packed up his things and stood up with the tray. He walked past Zhao Yanhong, stretched out his finger, and tapped her: "Be careful if you do too many bad things, there will be retribution. In this world, there is a cycle of cause and effect, and no one can escape it."
