Chapter 105-Part 1

In this circle, who cares about the truth or facts? Most people are just here for a joke and some excitement, right? Even if they know you’ve been manipulated, kind-hearted ones might pity you, while malicious ones will laugh at your foolishness, saying you deserve it. Just accept your misfortune.

Just like now, Xue Hang claims he saw Wang Jingjing fall on her own. But who doesn’t know who Xue Hang is? How could someone like him be interested in the scandal between two relatively unknown actresses? Moreover, he voluntarily came forward to testify for Jiang Nian! The truth in his words remains to be verified.

Of course, at this moment, who would actually bother to verify whether Xue Hang really saw it or not? With his status and position, if he says it happened, then it did. Even if it didn’t, it still did. Who would dare to challenge him?

For a moment, everyone’s gaze toward Jiang Nian changed. She was calm and collected, seemingly unruffled. Is it because she climbed the golden ladder of Xue Hang?

Now, with just a word from Xue Hang, who would dare to openly mock Jiang Nian? They all glanced sympathetically at Wang Jingjing on the ground. Is this considered stealing the chicken and losing the rice?

Not to mention Jiang Nian’s surprise, Wang Jingjing’s eyes almost popped out in shock! Clearly, she was the weak and pitiful one, especially since Jiang Nian had just pushed her in front of everyone, causing her embarrassment and injury. With such shamelessness, couldn’t Xue Hang see it? Why would he speak up for Jiang Nian?

Struggling to get up from the ground, in a sorry state and on the verge of tears, Wang Jingjing said, “Master Xue, I don’t know why you said that. I… I can only say that I really want to reconcile with Sister Jiang Nian. I won’t care about what Sister Jiang Nian said about me pushing her down the stairs. Sun Xu and I have nothing between us. No matter how Sister Jiang Nian slanders me, it doesn’t matter. I just know I am innocent.”

Xue Hang glanced at Wang Jingjing, seeing her pitiful and trembling appearance. Though disheveled, she was indeed very lovable. Sun Xu, seeing this, couldn’t bear it any more. Looking at Jiang Nian, who stood next to him with a cold face, not showing any signs of weakness or helplessness, Wang Jingjing indeed seemed more worthy of sympathy.

If he couldn’t hear the malicious curses in Wang Jingjing’s heart, he couldn’t imagine that, looking at such a pitiful girl, her heart was so filthy. Not to mention, Sun Xu had already cursed Jiang Nian in his heart, saying she didn’t understand the big picture and accusing her of being ruthless. How could she publicly reveal their relationship in such a situation?

Xue Hang smiled, seemingly casual but carrying a kind of indescribable mockery: “Miss Wang, whatever secret relationship you have with Sun Xu, perhaps only you two know. There’s no need to explain to me because I don’t believe a single word you say.”

Wang Jingjing’s face turned pale, taking a step back as if on the verge of collapse. She looked at Xue Hang in disbelief, seemingly questioning how he could treat her this way.

Sun Xu dared not express anger or any dissatisfaction. At this moment, he could only shrink to the side, becoming a silent bystander.

Jiang Nian chuckled, glanced at Wang Jingjing and Sun Xu, and said, “Wang Jingjing, our grievances have always followed a private process. You said you forgive me for hurting you, but I don’t want to injustice you. So, let’s go through the proper procedures. How about we let the police handle it? What do you think?”

Jiang Nian’s pushing of Wang Jingjing down the stairs caused a huge commotion, with videos as evidence. It was impossible to wriggle out of it. During that time, Jiang Nian received numerous eggs thrown at her, along with threatening messages and deliveries. Wang Jingjing did not come forward until almost half a month later, when a video of her lying weak and beautiful on a hospital bed was released. She thanked the vast number of netizens and fans for their concern, stating she was fine. Regarding Jiang Nian accidentally pushing her down the stairs, she forgave her.

Outsiders believed Wang Jingjing was generous and forgiving, a little angel. Jiang Nian became the old witch bullying the little angel, and everyone wanted to kick her. Even though Jiang Nian had some fans speaking up for her, they were drowned out by various internet forces, unable to make any impact.

Jiang Nian had also mentioned that she never intended to push Wang Jingjing. She hoped the company would release a statement to explain for her. However, the company, for some reason, seemed to want to downplay the incident and avoid more scandals. Instead of explaining for Jiang Nian, they issued an apology statement on her behalf, and the matter was considered settled.

Now that Jiang Nian has brought up the past, Wang Jingjing feels a bit uneasy. What if the police found something? But it didn’t matter; when she was taken to the hospital, she had already deleted all the photos with Sun Xu. Even if they investigated, all that evidence had been wiped clean. What could they find? Jiang Nian was destined to be the scapegoat!

Xue Hang took out a gold-plated business card with the elegantly written name “Xue Hang” on it and said, “I know some capable police officers. If needed, you can contact me.”

He looked at them with refined manners.

Jiang Nian took the card and nodded, saying, “Thank you.”

…

Wang Jingjing indeed ended up losing more than she gained. Instead of successfully recommending herself to Xue Hang, she paved the way for Jiang Nian. She felt resentful and finally thought of Sister Chen at this moment.

How could Sister Chen handle things this way? Why was Jiang Nian still running around? According to the original plan, Jiang Nian should have been lying in President Meng’s bed by now.

Sister Chen was now in a precarious situation herself. She felt she had been drugged and, despite wanting to leave the room, found herself unable to move due to weakness. Even making a phone call by opening her handbag seemed impossible. Moreover, at this moment, she not only loses so much but also feels empty and wants deeper satisfaction.

She fell from the sofa to the carpet. The tightly closed door was finally pushed open, and President Meng’s grumbling voice came in: “This Xue Hang is really outrageous. He has no idea how to write the word ‘politeness.’ He doesn’t give any face at all. Wait until he’s down and out; let me see how I deal with him! By the way, where’s Jiang Nian?”

The assistant said, “I heard she’s already in the room, so I’ll leave first.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

President Meng walked around the room; he didn’t see Jiang Nian in the bedroom but found Sister Chen under the sofa in the living room. Sister Chen, aged around 35 or 6, divorced, and with her child staying with her ex-husband, she now had a younger boyfriend.

President Meng looked at Sister Chen lying on the ground, not in a normal state, kicked her, and said, “Why is it you?”

Sister Chen was weak and powerless; her consciousness was scattered. She weakly said, “President Meng… Jiang Nian ran away… She made me drink the medicine you gave me… Please call my assistant over…”

President Meng loosened his tie, silently cursing the foolishness and disdainfully tearing open Sister Chen’s clothes.

While he was worrying about finding someone to vent his frustration on, Sister Chen, although not young, still had a certain charm.

Sister Chen panicked, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t push away the mountain on top of her. She could only close her eyes in despair.

Fortunes change, and harm to others eventually harms oneself.

Wang Jingjing tried calling Sister Chen several times, but all calls went unanswered. She was both angry and suspicious, wondering if Sister Chen had changed her mind and turned against her. Otherwise, how could Jiang Nian know about Sun Xu and her?

…

Wang Jingjing and Sun Xu were asked to leave. Jiang Nian stayed back because she had Xue Hang covering for her. She went from being an unknown to gaining popularity, and people came forward to inquire about her relationship with Xue Hang and why he was helping her.
