Chapter 275: Chapter 192: Jiang Ning and Her Snow White Prince

Jiang Ning, bullied.

These five words, when they caught the eye of Qi Xingzhou, felt like needles piercing his heart.

The originally dazed and harmless expression on his face changed instantly, and a trace of fierceness surfaced in his eyes.

Qi Xingzhou opened the screenshots sent by Qi Chen again.

In fact, these screenshots had been on Qi Chen’s phone for a while, saved specially back when Jiang Ning’s reputation had not yet been cleared.

In the screenshots, Huo Miao’s fans’ slander and verbal abuse towards Jiang Ning were too harsh to look at.

If it weren’t for that last statement from Qi Chen, Qi Xingzhou would have had no idea what the contents in those screenshots meant, but as soon as they pertained to Jiang Ning, Qi Xingzhou examined them with earnest focus.

Having lived for over twenty years, the young master of the Qi Family had never seen such densely packed malicious words. Upon understanding that those words attacked Jiang Ning, his lips tightened, and his eyes reddened with anger.

Qi Xingzhou: What app?

He typed the question to his elder brother.

With a ding from the phone, Qi Chen, who was sitting in his office dealing with documents, glanced at the message from his younger brother. A slight smirk curled up at the corner of his lips, a look of expectation on his face.

He found that as long as it was something related to Jiang Ning, all those things that Qi Xingzhou previously found uninteresting eventually sparked his willingness to try, all because of Jiang Ning.

Qi Chen was about to simply type the two words "Meng Bo" and send them, but just as he was about to press send, he raised his eyebrow, as if he had thought of something, and deleted the two words.

Qi Chen: Go ask Jiang Ning if she’s willing to tell you. See if Jiang Ning likes to play with that social media app. She was just using it to expose some fake charity scammers.

Seeing his elder brother being so unhelpful, Qi Xingzhou saved those screenshots and then opened the pinned chat box with Jiang Ning to send her the screenshots.

Jiang Ning, who was playing with her phone, saw the notification bar pop up six times consecutively and they were all from Qi Xingzhou, prompting her to open them quickly.

She opened the three screenshots sent by Qi Xingzhou and vaguely guessed that these must be the comments from Huo Miao’s fans attacking her.

How did Qi Xingzhou come across these comments?

After her reputation was cleared, there were no more comments from those trolls in Jiang Ning’s Meng Bo comment section. It wasn’t that Jiang Ning actively deleted them, but rather the commenters themselves removed their posts after being mocked by netizens defending Jiang Ning.

Now, the atmosphere among the netizens in Jiang Ning’s Meng Bo comment section was very harmonious, free from the previous malice.

On the other hand, looking at Huo Miao’s side...

Jiang Ning casually made a video call to Qi Xingzhou, and he accepted almost immediately.

Seeing Qi Xingzhou’s handsome, fair face appear on her phone screen, the greeting Jiang Ning had intended to give suddenly changed to, "Who bullied you?"

Qi Xingzhou’s skin was very fair, and even in the video, Jiang Ning could clearly see the faint redness at the corners of his eyes, as if he had just cried.

On Qi Xingzhou’s end, the moment he received the video call request from Jiang Ning, his breath hitched, and an intense joy overwhelmed his entire mind. Before his brain could process it, his fingers had already agreed to the call.

Seeing Jiang Ning appear on his phone screen, Qi Xingzhou subconsciously wanted to cradle the phone in his arms.

But if he cradled the phone in his arms, he wouldn’t be able to see Jiang Ning.

Qi Xingzhou stared wide-eyed, unblinkingly at Jiang Ning on the screen until he heard her voice, only then did he come to his senses, obediently shaking his head, "No, no."

Jiang Ning didn’t mind Qi Xingzhou’s inarticulate speech and took the initiative to ask, "Where are you?"

"At home," Qi Xingzhou answered while eagerly getting up, lifting the phone with both hands to show Jiang Ning his room as if to prove he wasn’t lying and like a peacock spreading its feathers, trying to show off his nest to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning felt relieved upon seeing Qi Xingzhou was at home.

For Qi Xingzhou, there was nowhere safer than being at home, she must have been mistaken just now.

Jiang Ning said, "So you are at home, I thought you had gone out. By the way, where did you see those screenshots from earlier?"

"Big Brother gave them to me," he said without hesitation.

Qi Xingzhou unhesitatingly ratted out Qi Chen.

But watching Jiang Ning on the screen, he immediately added, "I also wanted to find you. I’ve been waiting for your message, but my phone never rang..."

By the end, his originally serious tone had become whiny, and his beautiful eyes drooped in disappointment, resembling a stray puppy lost in the snow, unable to find its way home.

Jiang Ning, who had intended to discuss the screenshots with him, couldn’t help but be moved by his pitiful tone.

He didn’t blame Jiang Ning for not messaging him for so long in the end; instead, he blamed the phone for not ringing.

Jiang Ning’s feelings at the moment were akin to suddenly discovering that someone had been waiting day after day for her messages, unbeknownst to her.

Even though she had no obligation to message Qi Xingzhou often, still, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt towards this sincere and pure emotion, especially since Qi Xingzhou was no ordinary person.

Qi Xingzhou, talking himself into feeling wronged, was about to lower his gaze involuntarily but couldn’t bear to take his eyes off Jiang Ning on the screen, making his facial expression somewhat odd.

Jiang Ning wanted to laugh but held it back forcefully, glanced at the time, and said, "In that case, do you have time right now? I’ve moved; I’d like to invite you for a meal to celebrate?"

Having a meal, with Jiang Ning.

Qi Xingzhou’s mental radar quickly latched onto the keywords, combining them with the books Qi Chen had made him read recently, two people dining alone = date?!!

Huge excitement exploded like fireworks in Qi Xingzhou’s mind, and he looked up at Jiang Ning with eager eyes.

Jiang Ning asked again, "Do you or do you not?"

"Yes!" Qi Xingzhou nodded hurriedly, afraid Jiang Ning might miss his agreement.

"Okay, then get ready, I’ll come pick you up," Jiang Ning said. "Will fifteen minutes be enough?"

Qi Xingzhou continued with his pecking motion, "Enough, enough."

"Alright, see you in a bit."

After ending the call with Qi Xingzhou, Jiang Ning picked up her keys and prepared to leave.

Actually, Jiang Ning had only realized after moving that she now lived even closer to the Qi Family.

It used to take about half an hour for Jiang Ning to drive to the Qi Family, but now that distance had been cut in half.

Jiang Ning took the elevator to the underground garage, drove her car, and headed toward the Qi Family’s place.
