As soon as Qi Cheng got into the car, he locked the door, quickly started the car and drove away.
Qi Cheng heaved a sigh of relief after the reporters were finally out of sight.
He looked back through the rearview mirror.
Lin Shanchu turned her head and looked out the window intently. From his line of sight, he could only see a side face with no discernible emotions.
Even so, Qi Cheng was keenly aware of Lin Shanchu’s dispiritedness.
He Xiang, who was next to her, obviously felt the same as him. She had noticed the abnormality in Lin Shanchu’s emotions.
The two of them looked at each other without a word. After some time, Lin Shanchu turned around. “Do you have a mirror?”
A soft female voice sounded in the car.
Both He Xiang and Qi Cheng looked at Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu’s eyes were still red-rimmed, but she looked calm without a trace of sorrow.
He xrang noaaea DlanKIY. “1 co.”
Lin Shanchu stretched out her hand. “Show me quickly. My makeup must have come off.”
She looked so sad just a moment ago, but now, she seemed to be fine and was concerned about her makeup.
“I’ve also brought my makeup bag.” He Xiang handed her the mirror.
Lin Shanchu took the mirror and turned her face around to carefully examine her makeup.
A moment later, she said satisfiedly, “Fortunately, today’s makeup is waterproof.”
As Lin Shanchu cared about herself, she said, “However, my makeup has come off a bit. Give me some powder and I’ll touch it up.”
He Xiang quietly took out the makeup powder and handed it to Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu carefully touched up her makeup and handed the mirror to He Xiang with a smile before she spoke to Qi Cheng. “Brother Qi, you’ve worked hard today.”
“No. I didn’t work hard.’
Qi Cheng raised his eyebrows and snorted. “Sister Rabbit, you’re so quick-witted. As your manager, I don’t have to worry about anything in the future. There’s nothing to work on. I couldn’t be more happier.”
There was no trace of joy in his tone.
He was obviously angry.
Qi Cheng was a responsible manager. It was understandable that he would be angry because Lin Shanchu did not discuss such a big matter with him in advance.
Lin Shanchu smiled as she said, “I’ll try to tell you in advance if something like this happens again.”
“There’s a next time?” Qi Cheng was furious.
Lin Shanchu smiled and said nothing.
Qi Cheng sighed. “I’m not blaming you. The key point is that you even set Lu Shiyuan up. If anything had gone wrong in the process, you’d have lost the entire game.”
He thought that Lin Shanchu’s original plan was to take Tang Qidai down.
To his surprise, Lin Shanchu wanted to take down both Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan.
“It won’t happen.” Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and smiled confidently. “I know them too well.”
She, Tang Qidai, and Lu Shiyuan understood each other the best.
In addition, there was Qiao Jiaxi, who was not as intelligent as Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu Imew the temperaments of these three people like the back of her hand.
Tang Qidai was as conceited as Lu Shiyuan and she hated Lin Shanchu to the core.
Therefore, there was no way Tang Qidai would miss such a good opportunity to trample her.
Lu Shiyuan was opinionated and could not tolerate her escape. Naturally, he would not let go of this rare opportunity to threaten her.
Lastly, Qiao Jiaxi was the easiest to control.
She had an impetuous personality and acted impulsively without considering the consequences. As long as Lin Shanchu did not make a move, she would definitely fail to resist to urge to expose the video.
Everything was within Lin Shanchu’s expectations.
The only thing Lin Shanchu did not expect was the way Qiao Jiaxi exposed the video.
It was too brilliant.
Qiao Jiaxi’s Weibo mentioning the four words “cherished the old relationship” had inadvertently allowed Lin Shanchu to gain the upper hand.
It was the best weapon to ruin Tang Qidai, who brought up nostalgia and played the sympathy card.
It was very handy.
Qi Cheng’s lips moved, but in the end, he chose to remain silent because he could not refute her.
After a while, Qi Cheng spoke again.
“After Qiao Jiaxi released the video, the public opinions on the Internet have changed completely. Unless something unexpected happens, Tang Qidai will be completely doomed this time…”
Qi Cheng paused slightly after saying that.
He glanced at Lin Shanchu through the rearview mirror before he continued.
“As for Lu Shiyuan, he won’t be taken down so easily.”
After he finished speaking, he paid attention to Lin Shanchu’s expression.
He could feel that Lin Shanchu hated Lu Shiyuan more than Tang Qidai.
This time, Lin Shanchu had racked her brain to scheme against Lu Shiyuan, but it was all in vain.
Lu Shiyuan’s position was still unshakable in the entertainment industry of Xu City. He could not be completely overthrown so easily.
Although there were netizens scolding Lu Shiyuan, it was only temporary.
Lu Shiyuan only needed some public relations to divert the trouble elsewhere, and everything would be fine soon.
“I know.” Lin Shanchu chuckled, but there was not a hint of displeasure on her face, as if she had already expected this outcome.
Qi Cheng did not say anything else.
Lin Shanchu took out her phone and turned on Weibo.
She had been busy for so long. It was time to take a look at her results.
The trending search list had already exploded.
She, Tang Qidai, and Lu Shiyuan were trending again, but this time, she was the one being pitied.
The person being condemned was Tang Qidai.
Lin Shanchu clicked on Tang Qidai’s Weibo page.
She clicked open the comments and saw all of them were condemning Tang Qidai.
[She’s so disgusting that I’m about to throw up last night’s meal!]
[I’ve never seen such a b*tch like you!]
[Are you even worthy of talking about nostalgia?]
[Being friends with you is probably the biggest stain in Lin Shanchu’s life.]
[Lin Shanchu treated you as a friend. For old times ‘sake, she didn’t expose the full video. Not only were you ungrateful, but you even slandered Lin Shanchu.
Are you even human?]
[No one would do such a thing.]
[I’ve been your fan and I’ve stood up for you before. There’s nothing more to say now. You better get out of the entertainment industry.]
[Getting out of the entertainment industry on your own is the only thing you can do to minimize your losses.]
[You can no longer clear your name.]
[Were you happy making a monkey out of the netizens? B*tch!] The netizens hated Tang Qidai as much as they had sympathized with her before.
If the full video had been released from the beginning, the netizens would have condemned Tang Qidai and Lin Shanchu equally without taking sides so easily.
Tang Qidai would only lose some of her popularity, but she could still continue to survive in the entertainment industry.
Unfortunately, Tang Qidai was too greedy and impatient.
Tang Qidai’s Weibo post did not leave any room for retreat.
The video Qiao Jiaxi had published completely cut off all of Tang Qidai’s escape routes.
Tang Qidai had slandered Lin Shanchu under the pretense of being loyal and righteous and trampled her to get to the top, causing her to be condemned by the netizens.
Compared to Lin Shanchu, who cared for their past relationship and remained silent despite being condemned, Tang Qidai’s behavior was simply vicious.
The evidence was irrefutable this time.
Any reason or excuse seemed useless..
