Chapter 71 - Room 902
“Junxi…” Ning Yao grabbed Xu Junxi’s sleeve and whispered, “Look at my sister, the director has ignored me. Hurry up and go talk to them about my filming matters.”
Xu Junxi pulled his sleeve back a little forcefully. His thin lips tightened into a gloomy line as he suppressed his unhappiness.
“Shut up!” he shouted at Ning Yao.
Shut up?!
Ning Yao’s eyes widened in disbelief. Xu Junxi had not reprimanded her once in the past three years, but he’d just now told her to shut up?!
The corners of Ning Qing’s lips curled up as she listened to the conversation between the two of them. She had to admit that although Li Meiling had crafted a great show of playing hard to get by sending Ning Yao abroad, she hadn’t kept Ning Yao by her side and trained her, so Ning Yao hadn’t learned anything from Li Meiling.
What a fool!
The lights were on in the bathroom and hot water was running from the showerheads in the shower, but the beautiful body of a young girl that he had imagined in his mind was not there; the shower was empty.
Right then, “Ning Qing…” The lamp in the hotel room was turned on as Xiao Zhou entered the room. She screamed the moment the saw Xu Junxi “Ah! President Xu, why are you in Ning Qing’s room? A man like you barging into a woman’s room so late at night… What’s the matter with you?”
Xu Junxi diverted his gaze. He had been tricked by Ning Qing. Damn it!
There were many celebrities in this hotel, so naturally, there would be many media reporters who were lying in wait. It was imperative that he leave immediately. He could not be photographed like this.
Xu Junxi marched towards the door. When he was about to leave, he heard several “clicks” of a camera as a huge swarm of reporters crowded around the door. Xu Junxi’s exit was blocked.
“President Xu, it’s 9 p.m. now. Why are you in Ning Qing’s room so late at night?”
“President Xu, you’ve openly admitted that your girlfriend Ning Yao still stays next door. Ning Yao and Ning Qing are sisters. Does President Xu have a history with each of the sisters?”
The reporters’ questions were becoming more and more pointed. Xu Junxi rubbed his temples. “I’m sorry, I can’t tell you anything.” He squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards his room.
The reporters followed him like a shadow. Xu Junxi was trying to figure out how he could lose them. At that moment, a pink figure appeared in his sight. It was Ning Yao.
Oh no.
Ning Yao clenched her fists and looked at him with tears in her eyes. “Hmph!” She sniffed coldly before turning around and running away.
Xu Junxi was even more troubled now. “Yaoyao, it’s not what you think it is. Listen to my explanation.” While chasing Ning Yao, he took out his cell phone and called someone. “Hello, send some people here to deal with this situation.”
…
Xu Junxi’s team soon arrived and the reporters were dispersed. The hotel corridor immediately became silent.
Ning Qing walked out from the corner, Xiao Zhou ran up and handed s disc to her. “Ning Qing, the video was recorded. We’ve fought this battle beautifully.”
“Yes, upload the video onto the Internet and Weibo immediately. No matter how powerful Xu Junxi is, he can’t stop the netizens’ gossip. This kind of scandal is always popular. By the time Xu Junxi can coax Ning Yao and shut down the webpage, this would have already spread.” Ning Qing’s eyes sparkled with wisdom.
Xiao Zhou nodded. “Okay, I’ll do it right now.”
After Xiao Zhou left, Ning Qing saw Director Wang walking towards her from the corridor. He asked, “Ning Qing, what’s going on?”
Ning Qing laughed and said, “Director Wang, I remember that the first stage of our Wind and Dust promotional campaign is about to begin. Previously, President Xu and Ning Yao were hot topics. I was only just using them to fire some shots first and make some headlines.”
Director Wang immediately flashed a gratified smile. He had indeed not judged her incorrectly. “Ning Qing, I really hadn’t expected you to be quite the clever little imp, haha.”
…
Ning Qing went back to her room and took a bath.
She’d suddenly thought of this strategy after she’d heard Xiao Zhou mention Xu Junxi’s constant gaze. She’d known all about the dirty and despicable thoughts that Xu Junxi had about her, so she went along with the situation and took advantage of him.
This pair of despicable creatures. This was only the beginning of the battle, and she has officially declared war on them.
She would get back at everyone who had insulted her, one at a time.
Ning Qing took out her cell phone and found someone’s phone number. Tomorrow’s entertainment headline would definitely be about her and Xu Junxi. Would Lu Shaoming be angry when he learned of her scandal?
Ning Qing decided to send a short message to cue him in so that he could be psychologically prepared.
[Shaoming, there might be some scandals about me with Xu Junxi. I hope you don’t mind.]
The text message had been sent. This time, Lu Shaoming did not reply quickly. After waiting for about three minutes, his text message came.
[Who gave him your room number]
Ning Qing was astonished. He’d known all about it even before she’d told him what the scandal was about?
Furthermore, does his question need to be so pointed?
There were two possible angles in this scandal. If someone had given Xu Junxi her room number, she would be the passive one in the scandal. If it’s known that she had given the number on her own initiative, it would be clear that the scandal had been planned by her. Perhaps Lu Shaoming would subconsciously think that she wanted to continue things with Xu Junxi.
This man’s words were never a lot, his sentences were short and to the point. He was too blunt, going straight to the point.
Ning Qing bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and finally answered honestly – [I gave it]
After the text message had been sent, Ning Qing waited for his reply anxiously, but one minute, five minutes and then ten minutes had passed, but her cell phone never rang.
Ning Qing’s heart clenched. He wouldn’t just ignore her, would he?
Ning Qing quickly picked up her cell phone as she laughed timidly and apologetically. [Haha, Shaoming, are you angry? I was just borrowing his fame to hype things up. I’m innocent.]
10 minutes later, her cell phone was still quiet, and when Ning Qing did not get his reply, she understood that he was angry!
He was really ignoring her!
Why was this man so petty? It was normal in the entertainment industry to create a scandal.
Alright, alright, she’d used her ex-boyfriend to create some hype about herself and had made him feel unhappy and uncomfortable, but, but… They hadn’t seen each other for half a month. The only contact they had with each other was through texts at night. Was he going to ignore her so ruthlessly just for this?
Ning Qing was devastated, but she knew that she had made a mistake. She continued to text him, racking her brain to find the right words that would make him happy.
The room was quiet. Her eyes were bright and her heart was beating like a drum while waiting for his reply.
But she was disappointed.
Half an hour had passed, and the man had not replied. He had hardened his heart and decided to give her the cold shoulder.
Ning Qing puffed her tender cheeks as his watery eyes rolled around in anger. “Lu Shaoming you big villain, I don’t care about you either!” Ning Qing closed her eyes, she was going to sleep!.
…
Ning Yao had locked himself in her room, but Xu Junxi had asked the hotel manager to open the door for him, the door opened with a click, “Yaoyao…” He rushed in anxiously.
But there was a “bang” as Ning Yao ran towards the wall of the room and slammed her forehead against it.
“Yaoyao!” Xu Junxi yelled and ran forward to catch Ning Yao’s body as it began to slide down the wall. The blood was pouring out from Ning Yao’s forehead and her face had turned white. He was heartbroken. “Yaoyao, why are you so silly? Why did you throw yourself against the wall? Does it hurt?”
Ning Yao lay in Xu Junxi’s arms weakly. Her eyes were full of tears as she sobbed, “Junxi, let me die. I know you like my sister. In that case, I will get out of your way, and I wish you eternal love.”
Xu Junxi brushed Ning Yao’s bangs away. The spot which she’d slammed the hardest happened to be the place where she’d gotten the scar while saving him three years ago. His guilt suddenly overflowed.
“Yaoyao, you’ve misunderstood. I had something to discuss with Ning Qing. She wasn’t in the room, and we haven’t done anything. Yaoyao, you’re the one I love.”
