Chapter 444: Chapter 442 Slandering Xia_1

"Why are you interviewing me when I’m like this! I bet they’re all just here to laugh at me!" Wei Qing’s eyes suddenly reddened, and she glared at her fiercely.

The assistant felt wronged. It was not her who had invited the reporters, so why take it out on her?

However, Wei Qing seemed to remember something, and immediately let out a cold laugh, commanding from her high horse, "Go, invite all those reporters over here!"

Although the assistant didn’t understand how her mood could change so quickly, she still did as instructed.

Soon, Xia Ningxing saw Wei Qing playing the victim on live television.

The reporter holding the microphone asked, "Miss Wei, we heard that you accidentally fell into the water while filming and as a result became infertile for life. What really happened? Is there a reason?"

Wei Qing’s eyes were brimming with tears as she looked at the reporter, hesitating to speak, "I... never mind, don’t ask me anymore."

Her demeanour, looking like she wanted to speak but dared not, immediately made the reporters sense something unusual.

Every one of them was shrewd and in unison, they said, "Miss Wei, if you’re in distress, feel free to share with us. We media people will surely seek justice for you, and if we can’t help, there’s always the law!"

"Forget it," Wei Qing still shook her head, unwilling to speak.

The reporter again reasoned with her, appealing to her emotions.

"I..." This time, it seemed Wei Qing found it hard to refuse again and finally spoke reluctantly, "Actually, I don’t know how the drowning happened, but I implore you all to not suspect Senior Xia Ningxing. Although we had our differences, I believe Senior Xia is definitely not that sort of person!"

"Please, please don’t misunderstand her!"

Upon hearing this, the reporters immediately understood – this incident was undoubtedly related to Xia Ningxing.

Those in this line of work feared nothing more than not having explosive news, so they proceeded to embellish and write a bunch of articles.

Soon, "Xia Ningxing causes Wei Qing’s drowning" was all over the news and papers.

Wei Qing’s management company was not stupid either; they immediately released some photos and descriptions of Xia Ningxing and Wei Qing’s disagreements.

For example, the friction between the two during a cast dinner.

Her management portrayed Xia Ningxing as an extremely arrogant woman while Wei Qing as the bullied little victim.

The public immediately became enraged—

"How dare Xia Ningxing commit such an atrocity in broad daylight!"

"Our dear Qingqing is really too pitiable, knowing who the attacker is yet repeatedly holding back from naming the victim."

"Yes, Qingqing is truly too kind-hearted."

"Ah, I sincerely empathize with our Qingqing."

"Pah, I don’t believe my Baby Xing would ever harm anyone!"

"I don’t believe it either, plus Baby Xing has been framed like this several times since her debut. I’m just waiting to see them get slapped in the face now."

"A bunch of lunatics, this is clearly an advanced version of Wei Qing’s defamation!"

Netizens split into two factions, fiercely debating on forums.

Oh, you’re asking where these forums come from in this era? They were created by Overbearing Boss Lu specifically for Xia Ningxing.

Seeing all this, Wei Qing couldn’t help but hook her lips into a smile.

Now, unless Xia Ningxing finds favorable evidence, there’s no way she can wash away the suspicion of causing the drowning!

And the person she had bribed had already been sent out of the country by her.

Xia Ningxing would never find the evidence!

Since she was the one who caused the drowning leading to infertility, she shouldn’t even think about having an easy time!

Giant Star Entertainment.

"What a move, pulling someone down with you!"

Xia Ningxing immediately patted her palm in agreement.

"What a perfect ’Bailian’!" she exclaimed with a tsk, tsk, tsk.

Lu Fan couldn’t help but push up his glasses, "This is almost the person who wanted to kill you, and you’re still praising her as a ’Bailian’!"

Lu Fan simply couldn’t understand the way Xia Ningxing’s mind worked.

’Bailian’ was clearly such a pure and beautiful flower, how could she use such a wonderful word to describe a woman like Wei Qing.

Xia Ningxing’s lips curled slightly, indeed, sometimes it really was hard to communicate with someone from a different era.

"Just a friendly reminder, ’Bailian’ is actually a term of derision."

Lu Fan: "..."

Farewell.

Lu Fan, who had made a blunder, coughed awkwardly and added, "The one who capsized the boat you mentioned, I’ve found him, and I’ve already got the mastermind behind it from his mouth. Once the news ferments a bit more, I’ll let Giant Star Entertainment’s PR team handle the PR."

This way they could boost popularity, as well as the heat for "The Legend of Ming Consort."

"I’ll leave it to your arrangements," Xia Ningxing nodded, then looked down at the starry sky watch that the Overbearing Boss had given her, "It’s getting late, I have a scene to shoot in the afternoon, I’m off."

The series had already stopped for two or three days because of Wei Qing’s incident, and they couldn’t afford to stop any longer, or they’d be losing money.

"Wait a moment, take the bodyguard I arranged for you downstairs with you, I’m worried some of Wei Qing’s fans might do something to harm you," Lu Fan cautioned with concern.

Xia Ningxing nodded, not refusing.

When Xia Ningxing arrived at the film set, everyone stared at her with unusual expressions.

Some of the bolder ones had already begun to whisper secretly.

"Could it really be Xia Ningxing who caused Wei Qing to fall into the water?"

"But Xia is quite good to the people around her, she doesn’t seem like the person the rumors make her out to be!"

"Besides, when the boat capsized, Xia even saved two extras."

"Aren’t you curious why Xia would rather save extras than Wei Qing?"

"Probably because there wasn’t enough time."

"What do you mean not enough time? I think she just didn’t want to save her."

"Face to face one man may seem a man of integrity, but his heart may be deceitful."

Xia Ningxing remained indifferent to these words, as if she hadn’t heard them at all, but Yuanyuan was so angry that her cheeks puffed out, glaring at everyone, "What nonsense are you all talking about! What does Wei’s falling into the water have to do with my Xia! "

"Oh, so just because they had some minor conflicts before, you think Xia has a motive to harm her? What kind of bandit logic is that! It’s utterly unreasonable!"

Yuanyuan, who was usually a shy girl, had today thrown caution to the wind for the sake of Xia Ningxing, obviously being genuinely upset, which also highlighted her strong protective sentiment.

Xia Ningxing smiled, patting her head, "After we get back, I’ll talk to HR and have them give our Yuanyuan a raise."

As the Overbearing Boss, it’s important to reward your employees.

"Ah?" Hearing this, Yuanyuan’s eyes suddenly bulged, and the next second she bent over, bowing frantically, "Thank you, boss! My boss is the best boss in the world! Ahhh!"

Xia Ningxing: "..."

The feeling of being flattered, it’s just too good.

Love it.

After she finished shooting, Xia Ningxing suddenly spoke again with weighty undertones, "But Yuanyuan, there’s one more thing I have to talk to you about."

"What?" Yuanyuan looked up at her puzzled, waiting for her to continue.
