Chapter 127 - She Was Innocent

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

It was as if Ning Qing couldn’t seem to hear the questions from the reporters. She walked faster and faster. She lowered her eyes and held the report tightly in her hands as if she wanted to hide it. Her expression was flustered.

The reporters were getting more suspicious, and their curiosity grew as well.

It was getting more and more crowded. Someone had pushed Xiao Zhou and she bumped into Ning Qing and let out a faint cry. They stood in a state of uncertainty, but a strong gust of wind blew the paper in Ning Qing’s hand to the crowd.

“I’ve got it, I’ve got it!” There was a shout of surprise.

“Let us see!” The crowd rushed to see it.

After they had seen it, the crowd gasped and look back at Ning Qing in disbelief.

Ning Qing leaned on Xiao Zhou’s shoulder, weak and delicate, with panic and shame on her face, as large drops of tears welled up in her eyes.

...

In Emperor Entertainment Group’s president’s Office, Xu Junxi stared at the scene on his computer.

Lu Shaoming’s calm and soft voice could be heard. “No one knows. Ning Qing and I knew each other three years ago. We fell in love at first sight.”

Hah, three years ago, she had been late for their first date, explaining that she had saved a man by the roadside. It turned out that she had saved Lu Shaoming.

She had abandoned him three years ago for Lu Shaoming!

“Ah!” Xu Junxi roared. He suddenly stood up and swept all the documents on his desk to the ground.

There was a fire burning in his chest. Why, why had she deceived him?

Lu Shaoming had also said that she had him. Lu Shaoming. How could she still have eyes for the so-called Mu Yunfan and Xu Junxi?

What arrogance.

So flippant and insolent.

But Lu Shaoming was right. With him, does Ning Qing still need to look at other men in this world? She doesn’t.

Lu Shaoming was so adept at dealing with the media that one statement from him could shut the mouths of everyone in this world!

Xu Junxi closed his eyes painfully and gasped heavily. Lu Shaoming’s meaningful smile lingered in his mind. He had received Lu Shaoming’s provocation and contempt.

Again, his dignity had been cruelly trampled by the man.

When he was in pain, the door of the office was pushed open. Ning Yao came in with a thermos in her hand. She smiled and said, “Junxi, I’ve cooked soup for you...” Ning Yao saw the documents on the ground and her expression changed. She went up to him hurriedly and asked, “Junxi, what’s wrong with you?”

She put the thermos on the table and held Xu Junxi gently.

Xu Junxi took in the warm fragrance of Ning Yao and looked down at her protruding stomach. He forced himself to suppress the disgust in his heart and slowly sat down in his office chair. “Nothing. I just read Lu Shaoming’s report and I’m not in a good mood. Why are you here again? You should pay more attention to yourself and rest more.”

“Junxi, I’m alright.” Ning Yao squatted down gently and virtuously picked up the documents on the ground. Her gentle warbler like voice was laced with comfort as she said, “I just read the report too. Junxi, do you think that photo is real or fake?”

“Hmph!” Xu Junxi snorted as his eyes grew dark. “The photo is real, but it was secretly altered by Lu Shaoming.”

Ning Yao covered her mouth with her hand in disbelief and shook her head. “Impossible, Lu Shaoming has this kind of ability? Junxi, I think my sister is innocent. Was there any misunderstanding three years ago?”

Xu Junxi looked at Ning Yao’s simple and kind appearance. He reached out and held her in his arms. He pinched the tip of her nose lovingly. “You are just too pure. With Lu Shaoming’s status, it’s not difficult to change a picture. Unfortunately, he can deceive the eyes of everyone in the world, but he can’t deceive me. I had heard what had happened back then;t can’t be fake. Ning Qing...she’s already dirty.”

Ning Yao wrapped her arms around Xu Junxi’s neck and buried her face in his chest. She gnashed her teeth together, full of hatred.

She was one step away from crushing Ning Qing.

Why did Lu Shaoming have to involve himself?

The man had commanded and stopped traffic for Ning Qing, and it had snowed heavily. Now he had tricked the world to help Ning Qing. Ning Qing was already at a dead end. He was the one who had paved a way for her.

How was Ning Qing worth it?

If any man would do all those things for her, she would be elated.

She heard that they had met three years ago. Why was Ning Qing so lucky?

“Junxi, since Sister is already soiled, why is Young Master Lu still protecting and spoiling her like that? Wouldn’t a man be bothered by this kind of thing?”

This was what had made Ning Yao hate Ning Qing the most. She thought that Lu Shaoming would not hesitate to discard Ning Qing after she had exposed the incident three years ago; she had not thought that Lu Shaoming would love Ning Qing and pamper her even more.

She couldn’t figure it out.

Ning Yao’s question also hit the soft spot in Xu Junxi’s heart. He remembered the call where he had wanted to bet with her and felt as if he had been slapped.

His handsome face was a little grim, and he said scornfully, “Who knows? Maybe Ning Qing has some extraordinary skills in bed. Lu Shaoming has been enticed by her.”

Ning Qing’s beautiful face, which could entice all living beings, and her soft and petite waist flashed through his mind. Hah, how erotic.

Ning Yao kissed Xu Junxi’s face. She had lost most of this battle. Fortunately, she had not been exposed. Now that Xu Junxi was so disgusted with Ning Qing, she could also consider it a small victory.

She could only hold back for a while and find another chance.

“Alright, Junxi, let’s not talk about Sister anymore. I cooked some soup for you. Drink it while it’s hot.”

Ning Yao opened the thermos cup and a strong fragrance from the soup wafted out.

Xu Junxi also smiled a little. Ning Yao personally fed him with a spoon, and he enjoyed her gentleness.

Just after a few mouthfuls of soup, Xu Junxi’s Secretary pushed the door open and walked in. “President Xu, there’s new progress with Ning Qing’s affairs.”

“What?”

...

Xu Junxi and Ning Yao watched the video, and the female anchor in the video reported excitedly.

“At noon today, we bumped into our new generation movie queen Ning Qing outside the hospital gate. At that time, she was holding a hospital report in her hand and wanted to leave in a hurry, but there had been an incident. The report fell to the ground and was picked up by our reporter. This report shocked everyone. It was Ning Qing’s virginity inspection report.”

Ning Yao turned into stone the moment she heard that.

What... What? had she heard wrong?

Ning Qing still had her...first time?!

At the same time, her body had been gently pushed away. It turned out that Xu Junxi had pushed her away from his arms. His eyes were fixed on the video, unblinking.

Ning Yao’s heart sank, and she knew that the situation was not looking good. If anyone were to ask who in this world cared most about Ning Qing’s first time, it would definitely be Xu Junxi!

The anchorwoman showed the report to the camera and continued, “This report clearly states that Ning Qing has no sexual experience. For this reason, I had interviewed Ning Qing’s chief doctor, Dr. Liang Jieliang, a gynecologist in China. Here’s an interview with Dr. Liang.”

Liang Jieliang was a well-known gynecologist in China. Noble and rich wives and popular first-class actresses in the entertainment industry all went to her when they were ill. This person was over 50 years old, just and mild, and had a great reputation throughout the industry.

She is a credible expert.

Dr. Liang, who was wearing a white lab coat, said to the camera, “The patient had come to me at noon today, but she didn’t say much. Her eyes were red as she asked me for a virginity inspection report. The patient is Ning Qing. It’s impossible for me not to recognize her. I have heard a little about what happened to her. As a doctor, if she is innocent, I will spare no effort in helping her.

“I completed the examination seriously, and I take my doctor’s reputation as a guarantee here. Ning Qing is absolutely still a virgin. In addition, the reason I had accepted this interview is that I want you all to stop gossiping and guessing. She is only a 20-year-old girl. Her private and confidential things should not be exposed/ Please stop slandering her.”

The camera switched to Ning Qing and Xiao Zhou. Ning Qing’s face was pale and tears were still hanging on her face. Xiao Zhou severely reprimanded them, “Everyone should stop filming. Please return the report to us! For the girl, please give her some dignity.”

The reporters were a bit embarrassed.

“Xiao Zhou.” Ning Qing stopped her gently and sighed. “Forget it. Now that it’s over, I might as well stand here and tell everyone and all those who care about me.”

The reporters were overjoyed. Quickly, someone asked, “Miss Ning, why did you get this examination?”

Ning Qing stretched out her small hand to dry her tears, and everyone felt sorry for her after seeing her beautiful weeping face. “As everyone knows, just the night before yesterday I was slandered by Xu Lin, which concerns my best friend and my own reputation. Xu Lin’s harsh words prevented me from having any chance to defend myself. For this reason, I was distressed and depressed for two days.

“Over the past two days, I have been questioned from all sides. Moreover, my relatives, friends and loved ones have also been involved in the whirlpool of this conspiracy. Xu Lin has made many vicious provocations. I was suffering but had no evidence. Finally, I made up my mind to choose a hospital and get an examination. I intended to send this report to Xu Lin, to show her the proof and ask her to stop attacking me, but I hadn’t expected that you guys would find out.

“This kind of thing exposed to the public is not glorious, and I am unwilling for it to happen, but since things have already turned out like this, then I, Ning Qing shall solemnly tell everyone through the media that I am innocent!”

Reporters rushed forward, “Miss Ning, we all believe you are innocent. Your words imply that this is a conspiracy, who is harming you?”

Ning Qing did not answer, but Xiao Zhou tacitly went up and said, “All the conspiracies will be exposed in one day. We shall wait and see. Finally, Ning Qing’s studio will formally hold a press conference in the afternoon and send a cease and desist order to Xu Lin. Rumors die with the wise. I hope this farce will stop here. In the future, we will navigate all legal channels to deal with those who defame Ning Qing’s reputation.”

...

Xu Junxi was shocked. His head was ringing and he was confused.

Ning Qing was clean?

There hadn’t been anything with Mu Yunfan. No dirty three-years in the entertainment industry, and she hadn’t even been touched by Lu Shaoming! She was clean?

No, he didn’t believe it. He would never believe it.

“Ha... haha...” Xu Junxi suddenly laughed as he muttered uncontrollably, “I understand! I understand now! she must have bribed Liang Jie.”

The secretary had never seen Xu Junxi like this before. He went forward objectively and said, “President Xu, the possibility of Dr. Liang Jieliang being bribed is almost zero. You should know that.”

“I don’t know! I don’t know at all!” Xu Junxi growled.

“Junxi, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me, don’t frighten me and my baby.” Ning Yao rushed forward to hold Xu Junxi.

But Xu Junxi retreated a few steps. Suddenly, he regarded Ning Yao as a fierce beast all of a sudden. He shook his head in pain. “Don’t touch me, don’t touch me, please. If...if she is innocent, then I, then how can I...Dirty? We’ve made a promise that we’ll never betray each other...”

Ning Yao’s face was pale, and a voice rang through her ears. It was over. She knew that she and Xu Junxi were over!

Then the door of the office was pushed open again. “President Xu, Ning Qing, Miss Ning is here.”

“Who?” Xu Junxi seemed to have missed it.

“Ning Qing, Miss Ning.”

Xu Junxi returned to his senses. He was slightly stunned, then rushed out like a gust of wind.

“Junxi, wait for me.” Ning Yao rushed to catch up to him.

...

Xu Junxi rushed out of the door of the office. Outside the door stood a beautiful pink figure. Ning Qing had come, accompanied by Xiao Zhou.

Xu Junxi stopped in place as if he had been stunned. For the first time, he realized that he had not looked at her properly for three years.

She still looked like she did three years ago. She had not changed at all except for her beautiful face and exquisite figure that were even better now.

She hadn’t changed. Was he the one who had changed?

They used to be so happy. Their hearts were close to each other, but now, no matter how close they stood, she seemed to be out of reach.

“Ning Qing, President Xu is here.”

Ning Qing was playing with a small ornament with her back turned. When she heard Xiao Zhou’s reminder, she turned around slowly.

Looking at Xu Junxi’s appearance, Ning Qing raised her lips and smiled, “Why, how did you make yourself look so haggard? Was it too much of a shock to hear that I was still a virgin? I still remember the call that President Xu had with me yesterday, how you had sneered and talked so sharply. It was as if you were happy to have hurt me.”

The alienation and indifference in the girl’s eyes were so incisive and vivid that Xu Junxi could not feel any pain at all. He stepped forward numbly as he asked stubbornly, “You, are you?”

Ning Qing knew what he was asking. She took a step forward. They stood a meter away. Her lips were red as she said, “Yes!”

Xu Junxi’s body suddenly trembled, “Oh, haha...” He looked down and laughed awkwardly.

Ning Qing looked at him coldly and said slowly, “Xu Junxi, is this blow too heavy? Can you stand it? Your deep-rooted belief that I am dirty has sustained you for three years and has become an incurable delusion.

“Actually, you don’t care that Mu Yunfan and I slept together three years ago or if I was innocent? All you see is the outcome. I’m not clean anymore. So, you had a sound and reasonable excuse to cheat, and you even trampled on me, but now your belief has collapsed. You’ve suddenly realized that you were wrong. You might regret it. You’re probably full of sorrowful regret. Happiness had clearly been in your hands, but you personally destroyed it.”

“Hah.” Xu Junxi was a little depressed. Had she come to laugh at him and attack him? Then she had succeeded. She was too cruel. Every word she said stabbed through his heart.
