Chapter 279 - Licking Ying Qingcangs Boot (1/2)

Chapter 279 Licking Ying Qingcang’s BootBy the time Ah Sha was carried out of the bathroom, she was already asleep and her body was as limp as a noodle. Xunxun had spent a long time trying to wake her up to no avail before he left the house to get supper for them.

“The police hasn’t made contact with us again, right?” Ah Sha had finally woken up and was now eating fried noodles in the living room.

“Nope,” Xunxun said, passing her an egg-free cake. “If they examine the autopsy reports, they’d know that it wasn’t the work of an ordinary person. I’m guessing the case has already been handed over to Interpol.”

Xunxun frowned when he saw Ah Sha curling her lips at the normal—with eggs—cakes. “I suggest you stay away from those if you don’t want to be covered in rashes tomorrow.”

Ah Sha was allergic—probably ran in Xin Qing’s family—to eggs too. In fact, her reaction was even worse than Xin Qing’s.

Ah Sha pouted and then took a bite of the dessert that Xunxun had just given her. Then, her eyes widened as a thought came to her. “What about the Mo family? Are they making any moves?”

“Not bad at all,” Xunxun said, patting her head. “You managed to grasp the main issue. They already contacted me this afternoon to set up a meeting for tomorrow. You should come along too.”

Ah Sha nodded. The Mo family would definitely be interested to meet the last person whom Mo Xi had interacted with before his death.

“Tomorrow, we’ll just grab a bite somewhere close by,” Ah Sha said. She didn’t feel like moving at all whenever she had her period.

It turned out that Ah Sha wasn’t even able to step out of the door the following noon.

A video had suddenly popped up on the internet. In the video, a man and a woman were facing off each other. The two of them exchanged a few words before the woman touched the man’s waist. The man then tried to grab the woman, but he failed and stumbled to the floor instead.

Netizens soon figured out that the woman in the video was Mei Jing. After that, claims began to surface that the man in the video was the recently-deceased Mo Xi.

Today, a horde of reporters were blocking the entrance of Stars Entertainment’s main building. The same thing was happening at Ah Sha’s apartment, the one whose address Ah Sha had submitted to the company when she first got on board. Luckily, Xunxun had been very careful about keeping their cohabitation a secret. Nobody knew that Ah Sha was staying with Xunxun at the moment.

“Just stay at home today and don’t go anywhere,” Xunxun said, glaring at her.

Ah Sha knew that he was mad.

“Can’t you tell that I was trying to push him away?” Ah Sha pouted and gave him a hurt look. “What was I supposed to do, just let him pounce on me and hug me?”

Xunxun sighed. “You know that’s not what I’m mad about. I’m just angry at myself for not being there. Because of that, you ended up being bullied.”

“That’s why he’s dead, right!” Ah Sha said, raising her head and smiling back at him.

If Mo Xi hadn’t died that night, or if Xunxun showed up just a few moments later than he did, that unlucky b*stard would’ve been experiencing erectile dysfunction for at least six months; her needles weren’t just for show.

Xunxun frowned. “I’m heading to the company to deal with this. Don’t pick up any calls from any unknown caller. Call me right away if there’s a problem. And do not step out the door.”

After sending Xunxun off, Ah Sha began to stare at her phone; she was beyond certain that this was Bai Qi’s doing. Her altercation with Mo Xi had occurred in the surveillance camera’s dead zone.

“You’re just trying to bait me out, aren’t you? Let’s see what other tricks you have up your sleeves!”

Her phone rang. Ah Sha glanced at the screen and quickly picked up.

“Daddy!”

Back at Stars Entertainment, Wan Qingsi was sitting inside his office with a huge frown.

“The police told us they’ll release a statement to absolve Mei Jing of foul play,” Qi Xiu said, staring at his boss. “Do you think Mei Jing got on someone’s bad side? She was obviously the real target behind the release of that video.”

“You don’t have to concern yourself with this matter anymore,” Wan Qingsi said, rapping his knuckles on his desk. “What has Tang Yue been up to lately?”

Qi Xiu pondered the question for a moment. “Just normal stuff, I guess,” Qi Xiu said. “She’s already finished filming the commercials she had been assigned to. Yesterday, she received several invitations to Christmas parties to be held in different venues. Why, you think she’s behind this?”

“Nah. She doesn’t have the ability to pull this off,” Wan Qingsi said, waving off the suggestion.

All of a sudden, a gossipy look formed on Qi Xiu’s face. “Now, spill. Where exactly have you been hiding Mei Jing?”

“What, you’re a reporter now?” Wan Qingsi said, raising a brow. “Ask Tang Yue to come to see me.”

Tang Yue found out about Wan Qingsi’s wish to see her the moment she returned to the company.

When she opened the door to his office and stepped in, the look on her face was benign and warm as usual. “You wanted to see me, senior?” she asked.

“If this happens again, you can forget about having a career in showbiz,” Wan Qingsi said without even waiting for her to sit down.

Tang Yue’s face fell instantly. “Se-senior? I’m afraid I don’t understand.”

“You’re the one who leaked Mei Jing’s address out to the press,” Wan Qingsi said, looking at her accusatorily. “I really can’t decide whether you’re foolish or just plain idiotic. You actually think you can hide something this obvious from me?”

“I…” Tang Yue gritted her teeth. “On what grounds is your suspicion based on?”

Wan Qingsi laughed coldly. “I’m not suspecting you at all. I’m certain that it was you and I’m now giving you a strict warning.”

“Just because her name is Ah Sha?” Tang Yue went into panic mode. “If you keep this up, once Ying Xin comes back, she…”

“That’s my business and therefore, none of your concern,” Wan Qingsi said, cutting her off. Several seconds later, when Tang Yue was starting to feel weak at the knees, Wan Qingsi spoke again, “Do you actually have a brain inside your skull? Do you realize how much the company has to suffer because of your actions?”

“Do you know how much work and resources we now have to put in just to repair our public image? And what about Xin Enterprises? How are we supposed to answer them?”
