18 Commotion before the press conference

Bao FeiYin looked at Huo Zi Feng almost in tears.

"Will you truly not help me...?"

There was irritation burning in Qiu Yue's heart. Why should Huo Zi Feng help her? Sure, Bao FeiYin was the female lead but from the moment they had started dating Huo Zi Feng was hers okay?

ᕕ(˵•̀෴•́˵)ᕗ

Impulsively, she smirked at Bao FeiYin.

"No one can change what I've done. No matter what you do or say, you are fired. Now go away, I don't have time to waste on people like you."

She humphed at Bao FeiYin, and then looked away, ignoring her she dialed for the security. In a few moments, two men in Black suits entered the room and looked at Qiu Yue for further instruction.

Bao FeiYin gritted her teeth in anger. How dare this Qiu Yue behave like this?!

"You have no idea what you just did. I will make you regret this!"

Even as the two bodyguards had to literally drag her out of the room, Bao FeiYin didn't stop shouting.

Qiu Yue also didn't hold back. Right before Bao FeiYin was dragged out of the door, she looked square at her and gave her a flying kiss.

"Try me."

She even felt like activating flying hearts effect, but sadly this was real life. Or actually, Qiu Yue could ask Yao Yan?・.・

Bao FeiYin felt very humiliated. She just wanted to pick up stones and throw it at the Aries office, but seeing the bodyguards stationed there, even though she was burning with anger, she could only turn away.

Immediately after, she dialed Wang Xi's number.

Xi-gege had to help her take revenge for this sort of humiliation.

But Wang Xi, who lay in bed with two women on either side looked at the name on his phone with disdain and didn't bother picking it up.

Fine! Fine then! If Xi-Gege wasn't free then she'd do it herself. After all, there was rarely something she couldn't get. She had enough IQ to know that no famous newspaper would publish her story, so she quickly found third-rate newspaper and went over.

Actually, because of Yuan ZeXi and Huo Zi Feng, Bao FeiYin had even started to feel like something had changed and she was no longer attractive. After all, till now every single male had been fawning over, begging to gift her things. But now? These two actually ignored her all the time, not even leaving it at that, they only added more hits at her self-confidence.

But seeing these people fawn over her and smile lecherously, she gave them a sweet smile. She knew how to handle these people. Although she thoroughly disliked being with these sort of men, she could at least give them a taste and then act innocent, promising more.

It could be said that a female lead's charm level was really high, four hours before the press conference, random articles popped up all around the internet sparking the netizen's interest.

"The recent explosion at the Helios Buildings orchestrated?!"

The articles almost similarly went on to talk about how they had found the victim of this 'frame-up'. Without explicitly mentioned Bao FeiYin's name, they talked about how she'd been unjustly fired from Helios by Qiu Yue. And also insinuated that Qiu Yue had only done this because she was the one who had orchestrated the entire thing.

Bao FeiYin also had an interview special with many of the news agencies talking about how Qiu Yue has visited her after the blast and threatened her. While not saying anything, the news agencies used the contrasting reports of Meng Hui's severe condition and a picture of Qiu Yue right before the bombing, without any injuries. She also talked about how Qiu Yue had fired her without any evidence, without considering that Bao FeiYin was from a poor family. That last part had been true once upon a time but when Qiu Yue read this, she felt that Bao FeiYin really was ungrateful. Even though her parents had provided so much to her, she had actually lied about it?

Of course, a lot of netizens had nothing to do except comment. It was no surprise that pretty soon all sorts of opinions were flowing all around.

"To think that such an angelic looking person could do such a thing!"

"She's like an angel with a black heart. Even firing someone else to shift the blame!"

"The poor child in the hospital!! This big sister feels strongly for him. That Qiu Yue is a disgrace!"

Some of the news had even propagated to Weibo, where there were various discussions being held about the bombing and Qiu Yue's life.

Soon, they even went as far as to change her nickname, "She's no angel! How could she do this to a poor child! She's a demon!"

"Yes! And have you seen the poor woman? She was wrongly accused and fired unjustly, is this what a big company like Aries has come to? Firing people because they want to?"

"I even heard that demoness was going to marry the CEO of Aries, does she plan to control the company?"

"We can't let them! Throw Qiu Yue out! Throw Her out!"

Soon a barrage of furious netizens came from god knows where all following the previous commenter's words.

"Throw her out! Throw her out!"

....

Seeing the flood of comments on one of the discussions was Meng Hui, the supposed "poor child in the hospital" who had already woken up and had been browsing on one of his many laptops.

Seeing the many hurtful comments berating his big sister Qiu Yue, Meng Hui was furious and got into action.

Soon, a different thread was created titled: "The real truth about the mysterious bombing"

The thread detailed the various flaws in Bao FeiYin's testimony, as well as the truth behind Meng Hui's injuries.

The article carried on to berate the ignorant netizens who unjustly judged Lang Qiu Yue.

This, of course, was a post made by Meng Hui to help Qiu Yue out.

Even so, he felt it wasn't enough, and soon 3 more posts with information on Bao FeiYin's Past were ready to be circulated around Weibo.

News all from her days as a pauper to her days at the company were written in detail, with pictures as proof.

As for where Meng Hui had gotten those pictures, that was of course from the government's database, the company's database as well as Yao Yan's documents which Meng Hui had curiously "browsed" one day.

These documents helped him in further bringing out to light all of Bao FeiYin's misdeeds.

Meng Hui was sure this should help clear the nasty rumors Qiu Yue had gotten.

But before he could tap the post button, the tablet he'd been using flew out of his hands.

.... （(◎)＿(◎)）

It literally, flew into Yao Yan's hands as she stood at the entrance. As she walked in the others entered with her but Meng Hui kept staring at Yao Yan like he had seen a ghost. His worldview was shifting radically. How long had he been sitting at home??

Things could fly now?!

As if! Even if he spent his life under a rock he would still know that things like levitation were not possible!

Those netizens were calling sister Yue a demoness, but if they knew Yao Yan... OAO

Looking at the petrified expression on Meng Hui's face, Yao Yan couldn't help but smile evilly.

Tsk tsk, little kids were so amusing to play with. The smile was also a warning.

Don't tell anyone, or else...?

(^∀^)σ≡σ)┳_┳)

Meng Hui hid behind Qiu Yue, while crying in his heart. This Yao Yan was so scary!

"This kid, instead of resting was continuously using his tablet, Ah Yue!"

Want to hide? No one can hide from me!!

Qiu Yue gave Meng Hui a disapproving look. She'd told him so many times to not use any devices and just rest. Still, this kid was so disobedient.

But squeezing a peek at what he's been doing she could only smile. Meng Hui really was too sweet. Qiu Yue really felt like stealing him from Yuan ZeXi.

As though sensing the untoward thoughts in Qiu Yue's head, Huo Zi Feng quickly stood next to her and slipped his hand around her waist, embracing her.

In fact, this guy's senses were too good? Qiu Yue's lips twitched. She'd only thought about it but he had already sensed it. Was he an esper??

Of course, for Huo Zi Feng who noticed every expression and action of hers, he'd seen the glint in her eyes and could more or less guess what she had been thinking.

Even he wanted to cry, to be honest. This wife had such an eccentric personality that this husband had already become a security guard...

Which was quite fitting actually? He was going to expand into cybersecurity anyway. Qiu Yue felt it was good to have practice.

"Now isn't the time for that post, we'll do that during the press conference okay?"

Qiu Yue lightly flicked her fingers on his forehead, smiling.

"But you need to listen to me, right? How many times have I told you not to overexert yourself?"

Meng Hui puckered his lips together, pouting, as he hurriedly covered his forehead with one hand.

Yuan ZeXi, who had just returned with fresh coffee felt his lips turn up gently as he looked at the beautiful person acting cute. How did he become so lucky in finding someone like Meng Hui?

For him, he'd never known a real family. All he'd ever seen was deceit. But from the first time he had laid eyes on the younger man, he could almost feel his soul stirring.

Slowly getting to know him, seeing the millions of expressions as they reflected clearly in his doe-shaped eyes. He felt like he had slowly started to believe in happiness.

Feeling the younger man fit into his embrace like his other half, it really caused him to take a lot of cold showers. But since his baby was still not old enough, he'd have to wait a bit more.

Looking at these misty and expressive eyes and those delicious-looking lips that he was biting, Yuan ZeXi walked towards Meng Hui and placing the coffee on the side table, hugged his head. He placed his lips near Meng Hui's soft ears and Felt Meng Hui shiver.

"If you don't rest... there will be punishment later~"

.°(ಗдಗ.)°.

At this point, Meng Hui just felt utterly bullied.

Punishment would mean being teased again... in the morning his shoulders and neck would be red and purple.

From the day they first met, Yuan ZeXi had been shamelessly following Meng Hui around like a puppy. At first, Meng Hui knew Yuan ZeXi was only following him out of curiosity. But slowly and surely for some reason, it was like they were drawn together. He'd seen Qiu Yue and Huo Zi Feng, when those two were together it felt like spring, almost like they were an old couple with years of trust and love.

But with Yuan ZeXi Meng Hui felt electricity passing between them, like an instant attraction. It was turbulent and raw and Yuan ZeXi made him feel safe, Meng Hui felt like he'd found a family. With Qiu Yue, Huo Zi Feng, Zhou Jia, and Yao Yan. And most importantly, with Yuan ZeXi. Many times Yuan ZeXi has told him that to him Meng Hui was an angel-like existence, but to Meng Hui, Yuan ZeXi was equally important.

He was family.

...

After some time, Qiu Yue and the others left Yuan ZeXi and Meng Hui to their own devices and went back to the office. After all, there was an important press conference coming up.

Qiu Yue smiled, snidely reading the comments and articles against her. Before this Lang Qiu Yue hadn't had much of a media presence. She'd kept a low profile all her life. But all of sudden with one half-baked news article, she's become a villainess?

Really these people writing these comments, to them she wanted to say, seriously fuck you.

It wasn't like these comments hurt her. But they did make her want to show them what a real villainess would be like.

To show them what true fear could mean.

She looked at her nails nonchalantly while thinking of ways to deal with these people. Perhaps she could start a virus that would attack them if they used any particular keywords while commenting on the post? A nice shot from a classic thriller no?

"You will be next..."

Or actually, voodoo should work?

Time to mass-produce straw dolls of people.

(Since I couldn't fit this is in the author's note.)

So you guys. I'm so exhausted. Like every day is so tiring, it's crazy.

Anyways I'm so so sorry for this huge delay.

I've decided on something and I want your opinions. I was thinking of updating more often but maybe with much shorter chapters?

The thing is the more I update, the more I write. It's just easier to type out like 600 words every day than 2000 words a week >.> which btw, me the procrastinator? I do it in 3 hours so.

Idk what do you think?

I want to say thank you for reading this btw. I'm really glad that I get this amount of support with this erratic a schedule :')
