Chapter 97: It Wasn’t Me, Robben Did It

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although out of the four of them, she talked to Ruan Yang about her problems the most and Ruan Yang had always taken care of her, treating her as her little sister, Ruan Yang and Guan Ying were also very close.

Changqing was especially scared she would lose this friend.

Ruan Yang was in shock and looked at her. “Changqing, did you get cheated?”

Changqing was stupefied and shook her head. She told her about her blind date with Song Chuyi and only hid the part about the checkup at the hospital.

Ruan Yang’s brows knitted tightly after listening to her explanation. “Actually, I didn’t see the design of the clothes Dr. Song was carrying in his hands and I wasn’t sure if it was identical to yours. I only had a suspicion, so I tested you.”

Changqing grabbed her hair in remorse. Alright, I was too stupid.

“So, you’re jealous of Guan Ying not just because of Fu Yu but also because of Song Chuyi?” Ruan Yang’s face was as still as water. “Changqing, never would I have thought that such things would happen among us. In a friendship, involving men is a huge taboo.”

“I know, I know, but didn’t Guan Ying say before that Song Chuyi was incapable in that aspect? I believed it to be true and thought that even if we got married, it wouldn’t happen, so I agreed to the marriage.” Changqing hung her head down weakly. “But after interacting with him, I think I really do like him a little...”

“Changqing, only you and Duoyao would be silly enough to believe Guan Ying on that.” Ruan Yang squeezed her brows together. “Guan Ying is someone who has a lot of pride. She was the one who cheated first and would definitely want to find an excuse for herself. No matter how close we are, she wouldn’t want us to think she’s the kind of woman who plays around and cheats.”

Changqing was in a daze. “So, what you mean is Guan Ying said that Song Chuyi was incapable in that aspect so we’d think it was pardonable that she cheated?”

“Do I not clearly understand what kind of person Guan Ying is? When has she ever been honest in her relationships?” Ruan Yang looked at the clean face helplessly and said worriedly, “I just hope Guan Ying doesn’t care about Song Chuyi anymore. Otherwise, she wouldn’t think of you fondly.”

Changqing was flustered. “Then what should I do?”

Ruan Yang was about to open her mouth when her phone rang. A black Jaguar stopped somewhere not far away.

Ruan Yang lowered her head to look at the time and said, “I have to catch a plane. We’ll talk later. Anyway, don’t let Guan Ying find out first and be more careful on your own.”

After she finished her piece, she walked briskly in her heels and entered the car.

Changqing was in a daze for a long while before slowly taking Robben home then making her way to the set.

There were no scenes for Guan Ying in the morning. Changqing finished her scenes and returned to the station.

The station seemed exceptionally busy today. The people from the news department were hustling about.

Zheng Yan said, “There’s a large scale chain accident today on the highway which includes a bus. There were large numbers of casualties, and everyone was sent out to interview.”

Changqing suddenly understood why Song Chuyi left in such a hurry that morning. The hospital must be packed.

“Chi Yining, that little bitch, also went to the scene to do a live broadcast,” Zheng Yan said hatefully.

“Isn’t she from the variety department?” Changqing was speechless.

“Didn’t Anchor Chen take her maternity leave earlier? Now, the news department has insufficient manpower and Chi Yining also interned at the news department before and happened to be free today, so she went over.” Zheng Yan pressed her lips together. “What nerves she has—she really went all out for that exposure and to put herself in the limelight.”

Changqing returned to her office and switched on the television. She replayed the morning news and there was indeed a large number of casualties. Chi Yining was doing a live broadcast and upon seeing the injured behind her, Changqing was quite in awe. At least she wasn’t as courageous as Chi Yining.

“... Next, let’s interview the doctors on-site about the conditions of the injured.” Chi Yining changed the topic and walked towards the doctor who was squatting down, bandaging a child. “May I ask what’s the state of the current casualties?”

The man lifted his head and his face was handsome and cold. “The paramedics, firefighters and police are all in the midst of emergency treatment but the emergency exit was blocked by cars after the accident happened, and there’s still a portion of casualties still on the highway...”

He hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly, someone shouted anxiously, “There’s a pregnant lady here who’s about to go into labour.”

“Make way.” The man pushed Chi Yining away and walked over hastily.

“Knock, knock.” The door was knocked and Wen Tong walked in. She took a look at the television and was astonished. “Isn’t that Song Chuyi?”

“Yeah.” Changqing came back to her senses. “What’s up?”

“It’s like this—two advertising companies approached me the past two days, wanting to offer you commercials for their company’s milk and shampoo ads.” Wen Tong passed her the document. “Look, their previous spokespersons were quite popular celebrities and it just happened that their contracts were up and they had to shoot new commercials. Besides, their commercial fees are ideal.”

Changqing was astonished. “What a rare chance for such good advertising companies to ask for me?”

“Yeah, do you think you’re in luck? You finally don’t need to shoot those stocking and sanitary pad commercials.” Wen Tong laughed out loud. “Did Song Chuyi help you?”

Changqing was stupefied. “That’s not possible.”

“Are you silly?” Wen Tong looked at her with contempt. “These are such good commercials and all those popular chicks are vying for this opportunity. I didn’t even dare to ask because I have self-awareness but they came looking for us instead. Someone obviously helped you out there.”

Changqing pressed her lips together. “Maybe they saw my previous commercials and thought I was a good sapling so they took the initiative to look for us?”

“Talking to you feels like I’m pulling down my IQ.” Wen Tong shook her head and sighed. “Anyway, I agreed to these two commercials on your behalf. Right, the production crew called just now and said something happened on Guan Ying’s side so you’ll have to film your scenes with Ke Yongyuan first. You’ll have to film overnight tonight.”

“What happened to Guan Ying?” Changqing asked with a worried frown.

“She’s alright but her mother seems to be one of the casualties in this accident. The reporters who went to the hospital to interview all said they saw Guan Ying there. The entertainment channel’s reporter also went over to interview Guan Ying in the afternoon,” Wen Tong said, “What bad luck to be involved in this kind of accident.”

“Then how’s her mother’s condition?” Changqing stood up anxiously.

“Not clear. I’ll help you ask later.” After Wen Tong left, Changqing gave Guan Ying a call. No one picked up.

At around 3 pm, Jiang Duoyao gave her a call. “Guan Ying’s mother got into an accident?”

“News certainly travels fast to you,” Changqing said.

“Fast your head. I saw it while I was scrolling through Weibo,” Jiang Duoyao said worriedly. “I wonder if it was a serious injury. A pity I have to film here. Go to the hospital to pay Guan Ying a visit and bring a red pocket on my behalf.”

“... Sure.” Changqing hung up. The news had already spread like wildfire on Weibo. Guan Ying’s mother’s news had higher exposure than the chain accident and there was even someone who took a photograph of Guan Ying crying in the hospital with her hands covering her face.

Changqing was really worried and was contemplating whether to visit Guan Ying at the hospital when Wen Tong marched in angrily again. “Get to the hospital right now with some fruits to visit Guan Ying’s mother.”

“I was about to go...” Changqing stood up and suddenly found it weird. “You didn’t say so before. Why are you suddenly wanting me to go so anxiously? Could it be that her mother’s seriously injured?”

“Yeah right, she will be discharged after staying at the hospital for a few days.” Wen Tong laughed coldly. “Chi Yining, that little bitch, is quite something. After the incident about Guan Ying’s mother hit the headlines, the entertainment reporters all went to the hospital and she immediately put on an act to visit Guan Ying’s mother and even said things like although she’s only filmed with Guan Ying for a short period of time, the two of them were like long-lost friends the moment they met and both of them had a lot to talk about. To think she even had the face to say that. When was she even close with Guan Ying? Both of them barely talked on set.”

Changqing tugged at the corner of her lips. “Isn’t that Chi Yining’s speciality?”

“So you have to go too.” Wen Tong was extremely vexed. “You shouldn’t let her take all the limelight. I don’t expect you to be in the top three. As long as you appear in the top 20 of the most searched keywords, I’ll be satisfied. Just now, the boss even praised Chi Yining, saying that she did well. The higher her exposure with Guan Ying, the more popular the drama series will be and the production crew also approved of her ways.”

As Wen Tong said that, she helped Changqing carry her bag swiftly. “Quick, quick, quick. I’ll go with you.”

Near the hospital, Wen Tong circled around before finding a parking spot. When she got out, she threw Changqing a mask.

“Didn’t you say to increase my exposure? How would people recognize me if I wore a mask?” Changqing was confused.

“Are you stupid? If you don’t wear a mask and walk openly to the entrance, that would seem as though you’re trying too hard to hype up the incident. Don’t worry, I’ve already made arrangements with the people from our station. When you walk in from the main entrance later, reporters from our station will call your name. Then everyone will recognize you.” Wen Tong pulled her towards the main entrance.

Changqing was a little speechless. Although she had seen this kind of thing happen often, it was the first time it happened to her and she felt particularly embarrassed.

When they reached the main entrance of the hospital, there were news reporters from everywhere.

The moment Changqing walked in, someone suddenly called in her direction, “It’s Yan Changqing!”

Indeed, those reporters suddenly came crashing towards her like waves.

“Changqing, what are you doing at the hospital?”

“Are you also here to visit Guan Ying’s mother? I heard the two of you are on the same production team.”

Tens of microphones pointed towards Changqing. She had never experienced such a situation, squeezed by people from all sides. Luckily, Wen Tong was blocking people in front of her all the while. “Yes, our Changqing stopped all work in her hands to visit the moment she heard Guan Ying’s mother was also involved in the accident and was hospitalized...”

“Quick, make way. There’s an ambulance coming,”

Wen Tong wasn’t even done when someone shouted suddenly from outside. Immediately, the main entrance was in a state of chaos. A wave of people suddenly pushed towards Changqing who was in the center of the crowd.

She was wearing high heels and fell from instability.

She hadn’t come back to her senses from the pain when her hand was stepped on a few times.

In the ambulance, Song Chuyi’s frown was locked tightly, looking at the wave of reporters and family members blocking the outside.

He massaged his pulsing brows with frustration and asked the driver of the ambulance, “Can you drive faster?”

“Some celebrity seemed to have come again and it’s all congested in front...” The driver said, in a difficult position.
