132 TESTAMENT OF HIS SKILL (1/2)

Bei Gong Hai looked up from his phone and stared at his sister with a gloomy expression. He could not comprehend her thoughts. For some reason, he felt like she had played him for a fool. However, he did not think that could be true.

”Jiu, have you seen the current discussion?” He asked in a disgruntled tone.

She looked at him guiltily, but she suppressed her discomfort.

”Of course, I have seen it.” It would be difficult to miss.

”Why did you do this? I thought we had a plan. I feel like you sabotaged me.” He frowned.

Jiu felt annoyance towards her brother. He was not a fool, but he could be blind.

”I obviously had no choice. It seems that I underestimated that woman. I thought she would cave under pressure, but she did not even respond once. If I had not shut it down, your reputation would have been affected.” She explained.

This was not exactly true. Her plan had been to prove that Hu Lei was interested in Bei Gong Hai. That is why she had alerted the paparazzi covertly and offered to help Hu Lei connect with her brother. However, who knew that the bumpkin was so alert?

Now, everyone was focussing on the fact that she had called Little Ninja Cat a treasure author. It had been a sarcastic remark. Now, everyone thought that the Bei Gong siblings were obsessed with Hu Lei and her books.

Although there was still dissatisfaction towards Hu Lei, the negativity towards her had reduced. The new information showed that she did not know anything about Bei Gong Hai except as an actor. It seemed that everything had been taken out of context.

There was even a large group of netizens defending Hu Lei because she had been judged harshly as a fickle woman without any evidence. It showed how little people respected women in a public career. The defence had gotten stronger as more people learnt that the photo taken at the Maven Resort was taken during an event for writers.

All in all, Bei Gong Jiu's plan to sabotage Hu Lei had helped her wash her reputation clean.

”My reputation has been affected.” Bei Gong Hai said with anger. ”People are saying that I am a person without conscience because I did not speak up when Hu Lei was being bullied. My manager wants me to apologise.”

Bei Gong Hai had suffered a big setback this time. He had always been known as a warm and open person with a good heart. One simple mistake had earned him haters. How could he not feel dissatisfied with Jiu who had begun it all?

”Of course, you have to apologise. After all, it was your praise for her that pulled so much aggression towards her.” She snorted.

”It was your idea. How am I supposed to deal with the fall back?” Admitting his mistake like his manager wanted might harm his lofty image.

Bei Gong Jiu looked at him and sighed, understanding his thoughts. As an idol, he could not kneel easily. She would feel the same in his position.
