Chapter 68 Protecting the Cub
A clear and piercing voice rang out. Zhang Can was so frightened that he almost threw his phone away. He quickly turned off the screen, handed the phone to Wen Xi, and said with a silly laugh, "Nothing, nothing."
"..." Jiang Jinyue stretched out his hand and looked at Wen Xi, "Give me your phone, let me take a look."
"Nothing, really."
"If your expressions mean it's nothing, then I shouldn't be an actor now."
Because she has been in the circle since she was young, she unconsciously developed the habit of observing other people's micro-expressions so that she can apply them to her roles.
The series of changes in their expressions just now only proves that what they are looking at must be related to themselves.
If she had any bad premonition, she felt that it might be related to Bai Yuqing.
Wen Xi and Zhang Can looked at each other, sighed, and hesitantly handed the phone to her.
What they were just watching was a video that was posted by a small circle of overseas students that Wenxi belonged to.
The video was recorded secretly, apparently at a horse farm.
The camera is facing Bai Yuqing.
***
After being discharged from the hospital, Bai Yuqing had to return to his previous life with a full daily schedule.
This time, he was also famous. When he met his teachers and old classmates again, most of them had a hint of ambiguous inquiry in their eyes when they saw him for the first time. Even if it was fleeting, he still felt it.
None of the courses he took were cheap, and all the students were rich or at least middle-class. However, this news put his family background on the Internet, leaving him with no privacy at all. Naturally, everyone knew that he was just a poor student from a remote mountain village.
So, where does he get the money to take these classes?
There are only a few possible speculations behind this, and the most common one is -
Climbed to a high branch.
Gigolo, Phoenix man, gigolo.
Without even asking, these three words were stuck on him.
Bai Yuqing ignored these looks, just like before.
He smiled at them and talked to them about his injuries. No matter whether others cared or not, he would say, "It's okay, the injury is not serious."
Some people saw his attitude and felt sorry for the groundless speculation, and their attitude towards him became better.
After finishing a round of practice, he met a few people at the racecourse. They stopped him and said they were Xiaojiu’s friends and wanted to have a cup of coffee together.
The recorded video was a conversation between them while drinking coffee.
"I was wondering why Xiaojiu bought me a car last time. Turns out it was a gift for you," a man said, holding up five fingers. "Xiaojiu is really generous with this amount."
Another man spoke up, his tone sounding envious, but his eyes were filled with disdain. "You're so lucky to have met someone as good-looking and generous as Xiaojiu. Last time, I met a muscular man who was said to be a top student and a graduate who found a job through innovation. He's with Mr. Liu from Dingsheng Group. Mr. Liu takes good care of himself, too. He's 60 but looks like he's in his 40s. So, you're really lucky."
"Huh? Bai Yuqing, why is there nothing on your wrist? Didn't Xiaojiu give you a watch?"
"Hey? You're the one who instigated Bai Yuqing to ask for his cousin, hahaha."
"I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind us talking about Xiaojiu all the time. The main thing is that I don't know what else to talk about with you besides Xiaojiu. We probably don't have much in common."
"Don't you have a farm at home? Why don't you talk to Bai Yuqing about raising pigs?"
“Hahahahahahaha.”
There was a burst of shrill laughter, and everyone laughed.
Bai Yuqing just lowered his eyes, smiled slightly, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
Those second-generation rich boys were full of self-righteousness and were sarcastic towards him. Their shrill laughter made their faces even uglier.
On the contrary, he was in a state of extreme relaxation. The breeze blew gently, blowing his hair. He was just like the wind, relaxed and gentle, without a trace of tension.
The video ends.
Jiang Jinyue read it expressionlessly and returned the phone to Wen Xi.
"Are you going on horseback?"
"ah?"
When they arrived at the horse farm, Bai Yuqing was standing outside the lounge looking at his phone. He looked up and saw Ajiu walking towards him, and suddenly felt a sense of unreality.
"Why are you here?"
There were many people here, so he restrained himself from going forward to hold his hand, and just asked from a distance.
"I'm here to pick you up from get out of class and catch up with old friends." She said expressionlessly.
The two female friends behind her shrugged at him, looking helpless.
Bai Yuqing looked into her eyes. In the past, the way she looked at him was always filled with light, shyness, and attachment.
But today, her eyes were even colder than when he first met her. Bai Yuqing's heart tightened, and when he was about to say something, she had already walked to his side, took his hand, and held his hand tightly with her small hand. She exuded an aura that kept strangers away, but she wrapped him in the aura and led him into the rest area behind him, a coffee shop.
Those young men were still chatting when they heard the sound of the door being pushed open. They took a glance and thought that this girl was pretty good. Then they looked again and saw that it was Jiang Jinyue.
Looking again, she was still holding the pretty boy's hand.
Under their gaze, Jiang Jinyue walked towards their table.
"Pa——" He slammed the phone onto the table, on which was the video just now.
When they heard their voices coming from the phone, their faces changed.
The tone was smug and contemptuous, yet he pretended to be magnanimous. Even if you listened to it yourself, as long as you had a sense of shame, you would feel embarrassed.
Jiang Jinyue glanced at the faces of these people, assessed their seating arrangements, and said to the person opposite him, "You took the video, didn't you? Whatever your purpose was, thank you for letting me see this."
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere on the scene froze instantly, and anyone could see that she was very unhappy.
Very angry.
So she came to seek justice for her gigolo?
Jiang Jinyue held Bai Yuqing's hand, stood in front of him, looked at these people, and said word by word:
"Don't you know what to talk to him about?"
"Then let me tell you."
