But the entire studio was unusually quiet at that moment. Several people were looking in this direction while holding their phones, and some were whispering among themselves. Until Xu Jing stormed in aggressively and dragged Su Yiheng away.
Su Yiheng was dragged all the way to the lounge by her. Only after the door closed did she frown and ask, "What are you doing?"
Xu Jing took a deep breath. She felt she needed to calm down, or she would explode, the kind of explosion that happens on the spot.
Xu Jing looked at her and asked, "Were you involved in Liu Hui's matter?"
Su Yiheng's face immediately showed surprise; she clearly hadn't expected to hear the name Liu Hui from Xu Jing's mouth. However, she then shrugged slightly and said calmly, "Who is she? How would I know her?"
Xu Jing knew her personality; she was the kind of person who wouldn't shed a tear until she saw the coffin.
She nodded, not wanting to hide anything, and directly opened the video, holding it up to her face. At that moment, Liu Hui on the phone was looking at the camera with a cold smile.
“Miss Su Yiheng, do you know why the man I love left me? Because I am wicked.”
"So, someone even more wicked than me shouldn't expect the man you like to even glance at you."
Su Yiheng's eyes widened immediately. She snatched Xu Jing's phone and watched the entire video. Her face turned deathly pale. Clearly, she hadn't expected this unexpected turn of events.
In her plan, Liu Hui's accusations would put Ni Jingxi in an embarrassing situation, and everyone would know how terrible her family background was.
What right did she have to defeat herself and become Huo Shenyan's wife? How could she be worthy of someone like Huo Shenyan?
Su Yiheng wanted to trample Ni Jingxi underfoot, just like Ni Jingxi had once embarrassed her.
She had previously worried that Liu Hui was lying to her, so she specially sent someone to Vietnam. They had many old neighbors in that Chinatown who knew about their situation. They said that the two were living well together, but then the man's daughter came looking for them, and the man left.
Outsiders only know that Ni Pingsen left, but they don't know why he left.
Therefore, when it comes down to it, it seems that Ni Pingsen abandoned the woman who had suffered with him for no reason.
That's why Su Yiheng decided to accept Wen Tang's suggestion to expose this matter and make Ni Jingxi lose face and be unable to hold his head up high. Wen Tang had already concluded that the investigation into her insider trading was definitely related to Ni Jingxi, so she wished Ni Jingxi were dead.
Unfortunately, she is now powerless to take any retaliatory action.
Women really understand women too well. After learning about Su Yiheng and Ni Jingxi's past, Wen Tang decided that Su Yiheng would be her ally.
As expected, Su Yiheng accepted her suggestion in the end.
However, things in this world are more unpredictable than planned. Liu Hui knew Wen Tang's intentions from the moment he approached her. Wen Tang seemed shrewd, but he was far too naive to be someone like Liu Hui who had been through so much hardship.
Liu Hui was merely pretending to be weak, but the other party actually believed that she was a puppet.
Even Su Yiheng only realized at this moment that this seemingly dull and weak woman would actually turn on her. She thought she was the oriole, but in the end, she still fell into the hunter's hands.
Xu Jing looked at her expression and realized that every word Liu Hui said was correct.
She reached up and touched her forehead, lowering her voice to say, "Yiheng, didn't I tell you before that we should look forward, look forward? Just think of Huo Shenyan as someone who has no taste and isn't good enough for you. Didn't you promise me all that? Why did you still do something like this?"
Xu Jing thought her decision was incredibly stupid, the stupidest of all.
She really didn't expect Su Yiheng to use such childish and vulgar methods to retaliate against Ni Jingxi.
Xu Jing asked with exasperation, "What's the point of doing this? Yes, even if what Liu Hui said in the end is true, and Ni Jingxi's father really is a scumbag, what does that have to do with Ni Jingxi? The public might even sympathize with her and think that she was dragged down by her family."
"Enough!" Su Yiheng suddenly raised her voice and scolded.
Xu Jing sighed. At this point, there was no point in saying anything; all she could do now was try to find a way to make amends.
She said, "The company just called me and the public relations department asked me to ask you: Have you met this Liu Hui? Or have you spoken on the phone? If the other party has no evidence, we will stand firm and insist that the other party is framing us."
This is the best solution now.
As long as the other side doesn't leave any recordings, they have a good chance of winning, since the public relations department of the company Su Yiheng is signed with has always been very strong.
Even if there is real dirt on them, they can still mobilize countless online trolls to turn black into white.
Su Yiheng thought for a moment and gently shook her head.
Xu Jing asked again to confirm, "Really not?"
“Really, no, I had someone else contact her,” Su Yiheng shouted.
She wasn't completely stupid. Her main contact with Liu Hui was through someone she found, who used to be her brother's driver. Ever since her brother was arrested for drug use, this driver had stayed by her side.
Su Yiheng knew that he would help her brother do some shady things.
Therefore, the first thing she thought of was to entrust this task to the other party.
Xu Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I will have the company send a lawyer's letter as soon as possible. We have to shut up the gossip no matter what. Don't respond to anything. The public's memory only lasts a few days anyway. Let's talk about it after these few days have passed."
Su Yiheng nodded, but then she said angrily, "How does this idiot work?"
She was scolding the driver who had handled the matter; he had messed things up so badly, and he hadn't even called to report the situation.
What Su Yiheng didn't know at that moment was that the driver had indeed stopped Liu Hui.
As Liu Hui packed her things and prepared to leave the hotel, the other person was standing at the door as soon as she opened it.
"You've messed everything up, and you still want to run away?" The driver was really angry. He used to get along very well with Su Jingxuan, and he was living a life of luxury.
As a result, Su Jingxuan was arrested.
Because he knew many of Su Jingxuan's secrets, Su Yiheng kept him by her side.
This was the first time he had helped Su Yiheng with something, and he thought it would be a small matter, but he didn't expect to mess it up. When he rushed up to stop her at the meeting, Liu Hui struggled to finish what she was saying.
The driver came to her again, his face contorted with rage: "Are you fucking making a fool of us?"
Liu Hui sneered, "That's right, I'm just messing with you. I'm not trying to mess with others, I'll just let you experience what it's like to be messed with."
The driver grabbed her by the neck and pushed her into the room. Liu Hui knew that if she let him push her into the room at this moment, she didn't know what would happen.
So she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Help! Someone's killing me! Help!"
The driver grew increasingly angry at her shouting, tightening his grip on her neck. Liu Hui began to struggle desperately until finally a door nearby was pushed open, and a man's voice came: "What are you doing?"
"Help! He's going to rape me, he's going to kill me!"
Liu Hui struggled and shouted desperately.
A minute later, hotel security guards ran up and immediately pinned the driver down. Shortly afterward, the police arrived and took them to the police station for processing.
After finishing her meal, Ni Jingxi went back to her room to rest, but she was still jet-lagged and couldn't fall asleep in bed.
She heard a knock on the door and Ni Pingsen's voice: "Jingxi, are you asleep?"
Ni Jingxi immediately got up to open the door. When the door opened, Ni Pingsen frowned and looked at her. Ni Jingxi immediately asked, "What's wrong, Dad?"
"Liu Hui is at the police station now. The police station just called me, hoping I could go over and bail her out. So Dad came to tell you."
Receiving a call from the police station was something Ni Pingsen hadn't expected.
Although Ni Jingxi kept today's news from him, Ni Pingsen wasn't completely unaware. He knew Liu Hui was in Shanghai, and he also knew what she said at the end of the live broadcast.
The police said that Liu Hui had no relatives and only had this number saved in her phone, so they asked him to help pick her up.
When Ni Pingsen decided to leave Vietnam, he knew that he and Liu Hui would have no further connection. If she had only hurt him, perhaps Ni Pingsen would have forgiven her.
But because of Ni Jingxi, he couldn't easily face her.
But now that he knows the other party is at the police station, ignoring everything isn't his style, so after thinking it over, he decided to come find Ni Jingxi.
Ni Pingsen didn't mean to upset Ni Jingxi; he just didn't want to bury her.
So that Ni Jingxi wouldn't find out later and think he had secretly gone to see Liu Hui.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to help, I won't have anything to do with her anymore," Ni Pingsen sighed.
Ni Jingxi paused for a moment, then said, "I'll go with you."
Ni Pingsen immediately shook his head: "You just got back, get some rest. I can go by myself."
“It’s so late, I’ll take you there.” Ni Jingxi insisted, “Wait for me a moment, I’ll change my clothes.”
Ni Pingsen nodded, turned around and went downstairs.
While Ni Jingxi was changing her clothes, Huo Shenyan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. Seeing that she had changed into clothes for going out, he asked in surprise, "Are you going out?"
“Liu Hui is at the police station. The police called my dad and asked him to come over for bail,” Ni Jingxi said.
A hint of surprise flashed in Huo Shenyan's eyes: "Is Dad going over there?"
"I'll go with him. You should rest. You have to go to work tomorrow." Ni Jingxi had already put on her pants. She was wearing a white T-shirt and wide-leg pants.
Huo Shenyan immediately said, "I'll go with you."
“Really, there’s no need.” Ni Jingxi had just opened her mouth when Huo Shenyan reached out and ruffled the top of her head. “I’m worried.”
Liu Hui's actions are too biased and extreme; he really doesn't trust Ni Jingxi to associate with her. Although what she said in the live stream was favorable to Ni Jingxi, it doesn't mean she truly has goodwill towards Ni Jingxi.
Such a person's good and evil can change in an instant.
One thought can lead to Buddhahood, another to hell.
*
After they arrived at the police station, Ni Jingxi accompanied Ni Pingsen inside. Because Huo Shenyan's status was too sensitive to enter and leave the police station, he did not get out of the car but stayed in the driver's seat to wait.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened, and they quickly brought Liu Hui out.
The three remained silent the entire way after getting into the car.
Just after Huo Shenyan had driven quite a distance, Liu Hui, who was in the back seat, suddenly said, "Mr. Huo, could you please pull over? I need to get out of the car."
The car was still moving and had not stopped.
"Please stop the car," Liu Hui shouted suddenly.
Ni Jingxi turned her head from the passenger seat and snapped, "Shut up, my husband isn't your driver."
“I didn’t dare mistake Mr. Huo for a driver,” Liu Hui said.
However, Huo Shenyan ultimately respected her wishes and parked the car on the side of the road. Liu Hui quickly opened the car door and got out, while Ni Pingsen, sitting in the back seat, remained motionless.
Until Liu Hui bent down and said into the car, "You don't need to treat me like a good person. The things I said were just to make Pingsen remember me forever."
Finally, Ni Pingsen slowly moved, turning his head to look at Liu Hui, who was bending over.
After a long, long time, he finally opened his mouth slowly: "Why bother?"
Liu Hui placed her hands on the car door, clenching her teeth tightly, until she shouted, "I'm just that bad, I'm going to be so bad that you'll only remember me for the rest of your life. You'll have no memory of Gu Mingzhu, and you'll only remember me, Liu Hui, for the rest of your life. Even if I'm bad, you'll still remember me."
As soon as the name Gu Mingzhu came out of her mouth, Ni Jingxi pushed open the door and got out of the car.
She grabbed Liu Hui's collar and, without hesitation, raised her hand and slapped her once, twice, and three times.
Ni Jingxi looked into Liu Hui's eyes and said, word by word, "I told you not to let me hear my mother's name from your mouth, or I'd slap you for every word."
