Ch.63 Supporting Female Lead’s Weight Suddenly Gains 10 Jin (2)

Reporter B then asked, “I heard that you went to provoke her in private because you were jealous of her beauty, but never expected her to harm you instead, causing your disfigurement. Is this news true?”

Before Lin Yueqi could answer, the girl on her back let out a snort and patted her shoulder with her meaty hands, saying, “Mama, they’re so annoying. Go quickly and ignore those annoying people.”

Reporter C quickly put the focus on Tuantuan and continued asking, “I heard you came to the annual dinner at the invitation of Mr. Lu. Are you swayed by Mr. Lu’s strong confessions on the net at all? Are you here to get together with Mr. Lu again? They say that Mr. Lu is not a very attractive man, if so, why did you choose to be with him in the first place? Is it because of money? It was said that your family was poor before you became a star. Did you date Mr. Lu because you were short on money?”

Lin Yueqi swept a glance at the reporter. She knew that this reporter was definitely setting her up for some of his tricks with a question like that.

Faced with a reporter who was trying to put her in an embarrassing situation, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She immediately said, “That’s impossible. I have an even cuter boy now. Of course I was with Mr. Lu for his money, why else? Because of his peerless looks and his love? No. A snake like me is unworthy of his love! Alright, enough. Make way everybody, make way. This girl’s heavy as a horse, my hands can’t hold on anymore! Excuse me everybody please make way, make way. Excuse me, make way. Please leave Qiqi and the fat girl some space…”

The reporters made way for her, dumbfounded. They watched as she carried the little girl on her back on top of the red carpet, quickly heading into the hotel.

When she entered the hotel, Reporter A sai, “Lin Yueqi is getting smarter and smarter after her setbacks. She’s teetering on the line of white and black, she’s tight-lipped and won’t reveal a single thing.”

The cameraman said, “Why don’t we just post what she says? I think it’s big stuff, don’t you?”

Reporter A sneered. “What do you know? That’s what she says on her Weibo too but it’s clear she’s lying. If we post what she says word for word, then what do you think the netizens are gonna say? They’ll all go, oh no! there’s too much unscrupulous media these days! How dare they slander Lin Yueqi! It’s people like you creating rumors and leading public opinion that Lin Yueqi is so negative now!”

The cameraman scratched his head, puzzled. “Then what do we do? Why don’t you post some of Qin Xue’s beautiful pictures and give the netizens some eye candy?”

“That won’t work anymore. Qin Xue’s beauty is posted on the net each and every day. What we need is a hit! Novelty! QinXue’s beauty isn’t hip at all anymore.”

The cameraman said, “This won’t do, that won’t do, why don’t you just say Qin Xue is jealous of Lin Yueqi? Heh, is that novel enough? You think people will believe it?”

That’s it. The reporter clenched his fists and hugged the cameraman. “Oh my God! How are you so smart?! That’s one explosive headline right there! Shit, we can’t lose this chance. I’ll post it right now! Quick, go and pick out a few pictures of me and we’ll post it together later. You better get me another photo of Qin Xue as well!”

…

The annual dinner of the Qiancheng Group was held in the lobby of the first floor in the hotel which could accommodate up to two thousand people. Two hundred round tables surrounded the large stage in the center with a gigantic floor-to-ceiling screen displaying white words on a red background. “Qiancheng Group 20X9 Year-End Dinner.”

The two rows closest to the stage were filled with the group’s executives with the guest stars at the front as well.

Qin Xue and Lin Yueqi’s seats were at a table in the middle, and each seat had names on them.

Qin Xue took her seat first while Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan followed closely behind.

Even though the two were at odds, they had to keep their expressions firm. Qin Xue took the initiative to greet her and shot her a gentle smile. “What a coincidence, Qiqi. Hello, Tuantuan. Do you still remember big sister?”

Tuantuan sat down on her chair, swaying her small legs as she nodded heavily. “I remember. But auntie you can’t act young, I should be calling you auntie.”

Qin Xue, “…”

Lin Yueqi who was drinking water nearly choked when she heard that. She saw that “shit-eating” look on Qin Xue’s face and provoked her deliberately. “And what do you call me, Tuantuan?”
