The petite woman on the man's shoulders kicked her slender, fair legs twice in a panic, "Mr. Qin, put me down."
"Don't move." Qin Jue coldly gestured, slightly turning his head. The upturned corner of his face made him silently raise his other hand to cover it with his five fingers together.
Jiang Duoduo was wearing a gymnastics outfit, a one-size-fits-all style that fit her beautiful figure perfectly. Now, as he carried her on his shoulders, her slender, white legs swayed, and the hem of her skirt was partially visible as she moved forward.
Shen Chuanyu, who was chasing after him, quickened his pace. "President Qin, why are you doing this?"
He reached out and placed his hand on Jiang Duoduo's waist, trying to lift her up. "If you hurt her, it will break my heart." His words were firm yet gentle.
Qin Jue glared at him coldly, his face suddenly darkening. "It's not your turn."
He hadn't expected that Shen Chuanyu would disregard the crew and follow them, and even say those words to Duoduo.
Just then, the elevator doors opened.
Lu Ming stared blankly at the scene unfolding before him, momentarily stunned.
Good heavens! He just went to the dance studio to get something, and that old bastard actually came to snatch him away?
He walked towards them rhythmically and slowly, his tone sarcastic, "What? Are President Qin and Brother Yu treating Duoduo like a toy, fighting over her? Tsk! Has Duoduo seen their true colors yet?"
"As expected! Only I am truly sincere towards Xiaoduoduo."
They were all there, which made Jiang Duoduo completely afraid to struggle. Timid and powerless, she cried out, "President Qin, please let me down..."
*
noon.
On Weibo, there were trending topics about Jiang Duoduo in the morning, but they were removed and replaced with #JiangDuoduoMistress#, #JiangDuoduoKeptHolding#, and #YeNianLetsInAnInterviewLetsHurt#. Five of the top ten trending topics were about Jiang Duoduo.
Regarding the affair and being kept by a sugar daddy, Lin Man used a bald, corrupt official who had just been arrested a few days ago as the male protagonist, and had her friend Photoshop Jiang Duoduo into the photos. Every single one of the photos was extremely offensive and flooded the eyes of netizens.
To make Lin Man's criticism of Jiang Duoduo seem more authentic, she not only got Ye Nian to like the post, but also arranged an interview for Ye Nian.
During the interview, Ye Nian deliberately mentioned how Jiang Duoduo treated her badly at home and how she was reluctant to give up the Jiang family's property and return to the countryside.
This led netizens with no analytical ability to start blindly criticizing the comments.
—I knew it! With Jiang Duoduo's abilities, how could she possibly stay on "Love Practice"? Turns out she has such powerful connections.
—The elderly person watched the entire subway video on their phone, and now they're begging for a huge reward for someone who hasn't seen the photos before…
—I won't even mention the brainless fans who still blindly support Jiang Duoduo and insist the photos are photoshopped! Even Miss Ye Nian accidentally revealed it; if you don't believe the photos, you should at least believe Ye Nian's words, right? I just want to ask those people who encouraged everyone to raise Jiang Duoduo and watch her grow this morning, those who awkwardly praised her for being innocent and cute—aren't you ashamed? It's all just a persona.
—These keyboard warriors are hilarious! It's 2020 already, and people still believe pictures? Just a casual observer, waiting for what happens next.
...
With public opinion completely reversed, Lin Man didn't waste time talking nonsense by Ye Nian's side; she went directly to the Qin family's old house to find Old Madam Qin.
When Lin Man arrived at the old house, Master Qin was also home.
Grandpa Qin took over the living room TV, wearing his reading glasses, and rewatched the second episode of "Idol Producer." Grandma Qin could only watch the rewatch with her granddaughter-in-law.
After Lin Man entered the house, she sat awkwardly in the living room for a while, watching TV with the two elderly people. She asked, "Grandma, do you like watching these kinds of talent shows?"
Grandma Qin took the blame for the old man, "Hmm."
“Nowadays, variety shows all have character settings, and the teams will position their artists according to these character settings…” Lin Man talked for a long time, but neither of the two paid any attention to her.
The living room was quiet for a while before Lin Man spoke again: "Grandma, there's something I actually wanted to tell you today, but I don't know if I should."
Grandpa Qin didn't even glance at her, saying, "If you shouldn't say something, then don't say it."
Lin Man choked up, "Then... I'll tell you anyway. Today there was a sudden surge of discussion online about Jiang Duoduo being kept by a sugar daddy..."
Before being discovered, Lin Man rushed over immediately, certain that the two elders wouldn't touch entertainment gossip platforms like Weibo. She had to personally tell them this, to let them know that Jiang Duoduo was absolutely unworthy of entering the Qin family.
Even if Jiang Duoduo clears things up later, she will still leave a rift in the hearts of the two elders.
Lin Man carefully observed the expressions on Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin's faces. Clearly, Mr. Qin's attitude changed drastically after she finished speaking, and he looked on with barely concealed curiosity.
She waited for Mr. Qin to ask her, already having prepared a hundred sophisticated ways to slander Jiang Duoduo.
But then, Master Qin asked, "Has Qin Jue laid his cards on the table?"
"Um...it's not a decision, the internet says it's about Jiang Duoduo and..."
Upon hearing that it wasn't Qin Jue, Old Master Qin immediately lost interest and turned his gaze back to the television. "So many people online are blindly criticizing Xiao Duo, and you still believe what they say?"
At this moment, the camera switched to Pei Yutong's training session, and Master Qin said again, "This Pei thing, trying to steal the popularity spot from Xiao Duo, I think this is just Pei thing throwing money at the hype and deliberately trying to smear her."
Master Qin speaks the slang of the fan circle with great flair. In order to support Duoduo and help her debut in the number one spot, he secretly put in a lot of effort to learn it.
Grandma Qin didn't understand any of this, but she thought the old man was right, "How could Xiaoman be fooled like that?"
Lin Man: "..."
Since Master Qin and Lin Man had already gone this far, Lin Man couldn't keep harping on Jiang Duoduo, otherwise she would be considered tactless.
She could only change the subject: "Okay, but during the interview, Miss Jiang accidentally let slip that Jiang Duoduo is reluctant to leave because of the Jiang family's wealth..."
"Jiang Duoduo has broken into her room quite a few times to steal things..."
"Sigh! If someone like that were to marry Jue..." Lin Man's words trailed off.
Master Qin was startled. "The Jiang family wants to drive Xiao Duo away?" He frowned. "The Jiang family deserves to go bankrupt."
Lin Man was completely bewildered. She said that Jiang Duoduo was reluctant to leave the Jiang family for the sake of money, but in Master Qin's ears, it became that the Jiang family wanted to drive Jiang Duoduo away.
Wait a minute! Something seems off about Master Qin.
...
While Lin Man was making a big fuss at the Qin family's house, Jiang Duoduo was taken away from the factory by Qin Jue.
Shen Chuanyu and Lu Ming were ultimately restricted by the production team and were unable to leave.
Inside the train carriage.
Qin Jue drove himself, with Jiang Duoduo in the passenger seat. He glanced at her and asked, "Is Shen Chuanyu worried about you? Are you happy?"
"I'm not happy."
"Ha. You like him a lot, don't you?"
Jiang Duoduo sensed something amiss and explained to him without thinking, "I do like him, but not this kind of liking."
"So, who do you like?" It was a very childish question, and Jiang Duoduo's attitude had already said everything, so there was no point in asking it. But he still couldn't help but ask it.
