Chapter 382: 382, the show seems to continue to go on.

Han Hao knew she was in a bad mood, so he didn’t dare to disturb her. Silently, he left the office, hoping that Yan Ziqing could cool down.

Yan Ziqing grabbed her hair and collapsed on the desk. Just that morning, An Lan had been joyously vilified online, yet within a mere half day, she had become the one everyone despised. Netizens had even dredged up some old, long-forgotten controversies. Had she not also done similar things before...

Thinking of it, Yan Ziqing felt a chill run down her spine.

However, she didn’t know how to mitigate such negative repercussions. Now, the entire world knew that the Yan Family’s young miss, once recklessly pursued an affair, intending to become the other woman.

"How could this be?" Yan Ziqing asked, her hands in her hair.

She thought, was it over just like that?

Sorry, it wasn’t.

...

After Yan Ziqing’s scandal broke out, Binbin searched online for any news about herself, thankfully, she was uninvolved.

Yet, even though it was she who had transferred the photo to Yan Ziqing’s cell phone, it seemed she didn’t have to pay any price for it.

Binbin was smugly pleased with herself for not being implicated.

Although netizens relentlessly condemned the pop star, they simultaneously felt sorry for her future prospects.

The netizens didn’t know her true nature and thought, like An Lan, she might also become a victim of the pop star.

Binbin heaved a sigh of relief, pretending like nothing had happened and continued competing in dancing.

But she didn’t know that that afternoon, Tang Ze had already identified the girl Shi Lan had discovered on the forum as Binbin’s new assistant.

At that point, Tang Ze had obtained the comparison photos.

When Shi Lan received the photos, she said to Tang Ze, "Post it on the forum, add some heat to this ’tea master,’ Binbin."

"Don’t we need solid evidence?"

"No need," Shi Lan said. "When it blows up, Binbin will definitely not admit it; she’ll claim that the assistant was behind it, trying to clear her own name. By doing so, she is simultaneously blaming her assistant while confirming that Yan Ziqing was manipulating everything behind the scenes, thus offending Yan Ziqing. Given Binbin’s character, even if the new assistant endures quietly, it will only be temporary. What’s the point of exploding evidence? Isn’t it more entertaining to see them fight like dogs?"

Why waste time on such trash?

Isn’t it better to play in the swimming pool with Mr. Yan?

Tang Ze didn’t know Binbin as well as Shi Lan did, but he trusted her judgment.

So, following the incident with Yan Ziqing, the forum saw a new twist.

"After the An Lan Incident, look what I’ve discovered?"

The post contained various screenshots, starting from the comments on the post that leaked An Lan’s relationship, to discovering the little assistant’s Weibo account, to revealing she was Binbin’s new assistant. The poster was like a Holmes, not missing any clue, presenting ironclad evidence to all the netizens.

In conclusion, the poster summarized: "As much as I don’t want to doubt Binbin, in the exposé about An Lan, its her assistant’s reply. This is incontrovertible evidence. Moreover, would an assistant blow the whistle on her boss without reason? Do you believe Binbin played no role in this?"

"Discussions are okay; insulting is not," Li Tao spoke.

Below followed numerous netizen replies.

Netizen 1: "Whether Binbin was involved or not, she definitely knew about it."

Netizen 2: "Knowing the boss despised An Lan, it’s not impossible she deliberately leaked information to solidify her own position."

Netizen 3: "The most innocent person in this whole affair is An Lan; everyone else, hmph?"

Netizen 4: "Binbin, just starting her career at the eighteenth tier, what could she do?"

Following the thread, Binbin was also brought into the limelight.

As soon as the news broke, Binbin was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he slapped the new assistant across the face, "You think you’re something special just because you’re an assistant? Why did you have to show off? Are you stupid? Now you’ve implicated me in this scandal; I really can’t comprehend your intelligence!"

The assistant was stunned by Binbin’s slap.

She had never imagined that Binbin, who seemed so inspiring and understanding in public, could have such a terrible temper.

"I didn’t do it on purpose," the assistant said through her tears.

Binbin kicked her again and said, "What’s the use of apologizing now? Good for nothing and causing more trouble! I’m going to have Mr. Yan fire you because a fool like you can’t help me but only holds me back!"

"Binbin..."

"Don’t call me. Reflect on yourself." Binbin got out of the car and then had the driver lock the assistant inside.

The assistant covered her slapped face and began crying bitterly inside the car.

Although it was indeed she who had shown Binbin the gossip, it was clearly Binbin herself who wanted to expose the affair and sent the photos to Yan Ziqing.

Now that trouble had arisen, Binbin would definitely not allow her to stay around and would seek to dismiss her completely.

The driver of the minivan, seeing the assistant crying so hard, couldn’t bear it and said, "Why would you follow anyone but her? She’ll never let you have a good outcome."

"How was I to know she was like that?" cried the assistant aloud.

"Crying now won’t help you, the company will keep Binbin safe and definitely make you take the blame. It’s just your bad luck."

Upon hearing this, the assistant cried out even louder.

"It’s not my fault!"

"If the company says it’s your fault, then it’s your fault!"

The poor assistant trembled all over, at a loss.

The situation unfolded almost exactly as Shi Lan had anticipated because she understood Binbin all too well, and had leveraged the young assistant’s pride, otherwise, she wouldn’t have boasted so much on the forum and caught her attention.

The drama, it seems, is set to continue...

...

After spending a whole day familiarizing herself with her new home, Shi Lan had almost gotten the hang of it, though she still got lost occasionally; but she already had a good grasp of the main areas.

Mr. Yan did help her move, but he still went back to Shuangshi for an important meeting in the afternoon. When Yan Shixiu returned to the new house, from the doorway, he could already hear the sound of splashing water, it seemed someone couldn’t hold back.

Yan Shixiu took off his coat and stood by the poolside, watching the calm water.

Suddenly, a delicate hand reached out, grabbing his ankle.

Yan Shixiu bent down, waiting for Shi Lan to emerge from the water.

Shi Lan showed her head and then grabbed Mr. Yan’s gray tie instead: "Come in."

"You can’t wait for me to change?"

"Can’t wait."

Yan Shixiu undid his tie and took off his shoes and socks before stepping into the water by the poolside. The white shirt, soaked by the pool water, clung tightly to Yan Shixiu’s body, showing off his originally coloured skin and well-toned muscles.

Yan Shixiu lifted Shi Lan from the water and then kissed her: "Skin?"

The water surface glittered, slightly dazzling under the light’s reflection.

Shi Lan blinked uncomfortably and then smiled: "Don’t you like it?"
