He gently comforted the woman on the phone, then told her to wait a couple of days and he would go back to see them.
Then he left without looking back.
She can wait, but how can her father wait?
She kept waiting day after day; the hospital wasn't going to give her a chance to wait.
She saw her mother collapse onto her father's body and cry until she fainted.
Tears soaked the pillow.
On the other side.
The man with cold, aloof eyes and deep-set features seemed to have forgotten that there was a girl possibly waiting for him.
Qi Jingchen returned to his villa where he usually lived alone.
Leaning against the terrace, a cigarette between his fingers, he held his phone in one hand and typed in a number he had long since memorized.
When I tried to dial, I restrained myself.
When Qin Yue was woken up by the ringing of the phone, she could still feel tears sliding down her cheeks.
The pillow was soaked with sweat.
For a moment, she couldn't distinguish between dream and reality.
I reached for my phone and saw that the caller ID read "Zhou Jiahe".
Qin Yue's voice was hoarse: "Hello? Jiahe."
"Yueyue, you and Qin Xu were photographed going home last night, and it's still trending at number one on the hot search list. Don't you know? What about Qin Xu? Does he know? It's been over two hours, and his staff still haven't come out to explain or suppress the trending topic." She spoke very quickly.
She left with Qin Xu, and the story took a different turn from her previous life.
Qin Yue checked the trending topics.
The trending topics are buzzing.
#QinXu'sRelationshipExposed#
#Qin Xu and a strange woman meet late at night#
Many marketing accounts reposted it.
The video is pixelated, and the photos are a bit blurry.
But that didn't stop fans from recognizing Qin Xu at a glance.
As for her, she sat in the back seat, showing half of her profile.
Only a general outline can be seen.
Comments mentioning the female lead, Jiang Qingtang, were quickly drowned out by Jiang Qingtang's fans' scathing remarks.
[Our Qingtang was sick and receiving IV fluids at the hospital yesterday, please don't mention it.]
[I'm lying in the hospital, and trouble comes my way out of nowhere.]
My sister said she wouldn't date during her career's upward trajectory, so if she keeps throwing mud at us, we'll really get angry.
Qin Yue continued reading.
Many people are criticizing themselves.
The language was strong.
I wish I could drag her off the screen and tear her to pieces.
However, its extent is less than one-tenth of that of the previous life.
Another group spoke up for Qin Xu.
How wonderful!
Whether in this life or the previous life, there are always people who fight for them.
Those who oppose them will only be the targets of their trampling.
Qin Yue had an account before.
She doesn't like to post private things on the platform; she only records the scenery she sees along the way.
There's no traffic, no followers, and no one I know knows about this account.
There's nothing shameful about the content.
No need to register a new account.
She calmly typed the text: #QinXuRelationshipExposed# Qin Xu and I are siblings, registered on the same household registration. I hope everyone can support Xiao Xu and pay attention to her work. @QinXu @QinXuStudio
She hesitated for a moment before sending it.
Delete and exit.
Qin Xu has caused trouble, so naturally he needs to give her an explanation.
...
After washing up, Qin Yue opened the door and turned her head to see Qin Xu squatting at her door.
She didn't seem surprised at all.
His face showed surprise: "Qin Xu! What are you doing sitting on the ground?"
Qin Xu blushed.
He leaned against the wall to get up.
A tingling, numb pain came from my legs.
Seeing the other person reach out to help him but then restrain themselves, his eyes dimmed.
He ignored the numbness and soreness, and straightened up by leaning against the wall.
"Sister, I'm sorry. We came back together last night and were photographed by paparazzi. Many marketing accounts are deliberately fabricating facts, saying that my relationship has been exposed, and it's causing a huge uproar online." His eyes were filled with guilt.
The moment the news trended on social media, the agent called.
Upon learning of the relationship between the two, the agent immediately calmed down.
He wanted to post on Weibo to stop it, but his agent wouldn't let him.
Since it's all baseless anyway, let the hype escalate further until it reaches its peak before clarifying it.
He's a traffic magnet.
It relies on popularity.
Don't let free publicity go to waste.
While clarifying the situation, I can also promote the variety show I'll be participating in in a few days.
He compromised.
He harbored a secret motive.
Seeing online speculation that the two were a couple, he felt a morbid sense of satisfaction.
I just imagine how wonderful that would be.
He could then spread the word about their relationship.
Even if he is criticized, his career is affected, and he has to leave the entertainment industry, he will not regret it.
As long as I can be with her.
"Yes, I saw it all."
"I don't blame you. It's my fault. Now that you're so famous, I should have thought of this earlier and been more careful."
"You don't need to blame yourself. I know that many of you artists have no choice in the matter."
"It's nothing if I get a few insults. After all, I'm not in the industry, and they'll forget about me soon. Will it affect you?"
“I don’t want to release anything indiscriminately, for fear of having a negative impact on you. Why don’t you have your team draft a statement for me, and I will come forward to clarify?”
Her gentle, soothing tone only made him feel more guilty and ashamed.
Qin Xu didn't even dare to look up at her.
I'm the one who caused her trouble and made her get scolded, yet she's still thinking about me.
He gave a vague answer: "No need. People online are crazy. If we're not careful, it could backfire. They'll just start cursing even more. My agent is already handling it and will release a statement soon."
