BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1303
The meal was strangely harmonious. After finishing the meal, Xia Yingluo was worried about Jin Ling’er and returned to the hospital to visit her. Wei Lingnan was uneasy about her, so he followed her back to the hospital. The two walked on the long corridor of the hospital. The medical staff and patients who came and went all took second glances at them. He was so handsome, and she was so beautiful. Standing together, they were like a perfect picture.
Back in the ward, Jin Ling’er was awake. She held the mobile phone and was scolding while looking at something. “Asshole, really a group of assholes! I’m obviously sick, how am I throwing my weight around?! I’m furious!”
Xia Yingluo looked at her, surprised. “Jing’er, you finally woke up?”
“Yingluo, you’re here?” Jin Ling’er looked up at her friend and quickly put down her phone. She looked up and smiled. “The doctor said I’m fine, you can rest assured. I only have to rest here for a while more.”
After hearing what she said, Xia Yingluo was relieved.
She sat next to her bed and asked, “Why are you so angry? With whom?”
Speaking of this, Jin Ling’er was furious and showed her mobile phone. “Yingluo, look at this, that group of tabloid reporters is too much! They randomly said that I’m a newcomer who threw my weight around, and was only in the crew for a few days before I got lazy and didn’t look for a substitute. They said I rely on my friend and can’t even do my role well as an actor, it’s so infuriating!”
Xia Yingluo patted her shoulder in reassurance and leaned her head over to read the report. They were very overboard with their writing.
She couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows at this. How could something that happened the day before yesterday spread out so quickly? Even if the show was a big production and paparazzi often came in to detect the situation, the news had spread too fast. Jin Ling’er had yet to officially release her work and it was definitely not a good thing to set up an image of a bale that soared through relationships and didn’t work seriously.
Thinking of the viral incident that Wei Lingnan said, Xia Yingluo couldn’t help but ask, “Jing’er, did you offend someone? Or maybe I offended Tang Yuan the other day, and they waited for revenge?”
Jin Ling’er didn’t think about this possibility and was stunned. “How could they? They... wouldn’t be so bad?” Tang Yuan was the one who had put Xia Yingluo on the spot first that day, and Xia Yingluo had only retaliated. If they wanted to take revenge like this, they were simply too narrow-minded.
Xia Yingluo said, “There is no lower limit for a person’s vileness.” She told her about Wei Lingnan’s speculation about the virus infection and asked her, “What have you come into contact with that day that might carry viruses?”
Jin Ling’er was stunned, and she took a long while to say, “Is it really a virus infection?”
Xia Yingluo glanced at Wei Lingnan, who had been silent in the ward.
Wei Lingnan looked indifferent. “It is definitely a virus infection.”
Xia Yingluo said, “Wei Family’s biopharmaceutical technology is very powerful. If he says so, then it must be so.”
Jin Ling’er didn’t believe in Wei Lingnan, but since her good friend said so, she believed her good friend’s judgment and sighed. “This group of people is really very ferocious.” She thought for a while. “That day, I didn’t touch anything special... the only thing was when they gave me a blanket after I got ashore from the water. I started sneezing not long after I put on that blanket.”
“Do you still have it?” Xia Yingluo asked.
Jin Ling’er shook her head blankly.
Wei Lingnan interrupted. “If it was really the blanket, they would have destroyed it.”
Xia Yingluo thought and asked Jin Ling’er, “Who was the one who gave you the blanket? I’ll find someone to investigate, and seek justice for you.”
Jin Ling’er told her the name.
Xia Yingluo took her hand regretfully. “Jing’er, I’m sorry, it all happened because of me.” If she didn’t have a conflict with Tang Yuan, the group wouldn’t think of taking revenge on Jin Ling’er. Jin Ling’er was a little newcomer who had just debuted and was helpless, so how was she an opponent of the movie queen?
Jin Ling’er smiled. “You are a good friend of mine, why would I nitpick with you? I originally invited you to visit the film scene, but you were scolded for nothing. I should be the guilty one. Besides, it might not be to take revenge against you, maybe I accidentally offended someone.”
In any case, the conclusion would be reached when it was investigated.
Xia Yingluo helped her scold Tang Yuan and the others and also scolded the tabloid reporters. But she was still angry.
The person she sent to investigate was very efficient, and the result was given that evening. Tang Yuan had instructed people to do it.
“I’m going to take revenge!” Xia Yingluo said angrily.
Jin Ling’er was a little apprehensive. “Forget it, don’t make trouble for me.”
“Why is it for you?” Xia Yingluo was afraid of her psychological burden and took matters into her own hands. “They only did something to you because they hate me, they’re slapping me in the face! If I don’t take revenge, I won’t be called Xia Yingluo!”
Jin Ling’er couldn’t help but sigh.
There was a knock at the door.
The two girls looked up and saw a serious man in a suit standing in the doorway. It was Du Zheng.
“President Du.”
“Brother Du Zheng.”
The two girls said hello, and Wei Lingnan, who was always with Xia Yingluo, only glanced at Du Zheng and said nothing.
Du Zheng walked to the bed and seemed a little stiff. “I heard that you were ill. Let me take a look. Are you better?”
Jin Ling’er said politely, “Much better. Thank you for your concern, President Du.”
Xia Yingluo was not so polite and glared at him. “Brother Du Zheng, what’s the matter with you? You snatched her into your Du Firm and this is just her first film after debut, but you did this to her. Are you deliberately picking on her?”
“No,” Du Zheng said.
He had a headache. Judging Jin Ling’er with his professional vision, she may not be qualified. The reason why Du Firm had snatched this girl up was that she had been entrusted by Li Lei. Li Lei didn’t want his daughter’s good friend to fall to Imperial Entertainment. He was afraid that her daughter would be restrained in the future, but it was too obvious to snatch her away to Skyart Entertainment. She would see through his intentions, so he had to compromise and entrust her to Du Zheng.
It was better for her daughter’s friend to fall into Du Firm than to fall to Imperial.
That was why Du Zheng signed Jin Ling’er.
However, this secret agreement with Li Lei was kept a secret from the girls.
“I didn’t take good care of you,” Du Zheng said to Jin Ling’er.
Jin Ling’er was a little apprehensive. “President Du, you are very kind.”
“Kind? I think Ling’er is too kind.” Xia Yingluo was familiar with the Du family since a young age and was not so apprehensive. She looked at Du Zheng and said, “Brother Du Zheng, let me tell you, Ling’er isn’t just sick this time. She was framed by Tang Yuan, what are you going to do?”
