Chapter 8

“Who’s in the washroom? Come out now!”

Just as Yang Lingsi ended her sentence, Qiao Lian opened the door slowly and inched out, wishing that she could become as negligible as air.

She awkwardly spoke, “Ms. Yang, Mr. Shen, I-I will leave now, both of you can continue— Heh, you can continue.”

“Stop there!” Yang Lingsi stopped her from leaving. “How much did you hear?”

Qiao Lian replied understandingly, “Don’t worry, Ms. Yang. I didn’t hear anything!”

Unexpectedly, Yang Lingsi started questioning her aggressively, “But I’m still worried. What should I do now?”

Qiao Lian looked at her in confusion.

What could they even do?

As she was processing what Yang Lingsi meant, Yang Lingsi commanded her, “Open your bag! I want to check if you have any recording devices.”

Check her bag? She was going kind of overboard!

Qiao Lian furrowed her brows.

Seeing that Qiao Lian was not agreeing to her request, Yang Lingsi crossed her arms and remarked, “Open it quickly! Even if you are not scared of me, aren’t you afraid of Teacher Shen?”

When Yang Lingsi ended her sentence, Qiao Lian subconsciously looked at Shen Liangchuan.

Considering our relationship, he will definitely help me, right?

However, she was far from being right. He sat there staring into space, his glance emotionless, acting as if he didn’t hear their conversation.

Assh*le, it wouldn’t hurt for you to say something!

She wanted to express her disapproval, but after thinking it through, she decided to bear with it.

Qiao Lian opened her bag and poured everything onto the table saying, “Ms. Yang, is this enough to prove my innocence?”

Yang Lingsi checked the things on the table and did not find anything suspicious.

“Can I leave now?” Qiao Lian messily stuffed everything into her bag.

Yang Lingsi looked at Shen Liangchuan. Although he didn’t have much of an expression, he didn’t look as if he was unhappy.

She knew it. He had always hated reporters, and this reporter had run into his car outside the filming set. Yet, he had requested for her to enter the filming set to have her wound treated. It was impossible for him to be so kind, so might it have actually been to humiliate her?

As her thoughts drifted, she curved her lips and smiled, “I’ve heard that the pinhole cameras of reporters can even be attached to their clothes. So… I want you to immediately remove your clothes to prove that you are innocent!”

Qiao Lian lifted her head in surprise.

Check… her body?

She replied incisively, “Ms. Yang, what you are doing is illegal!”

“Illegal? You can go ahead and sue me when you leave this place.”

What a b*tch! She’s so arrogant!

As her temper slowly rose, Qiao Lian looked at Shen Liangchuan once again.

The matter has escalated to this extent, he should be doing something to stop it, right?

Yet, Shen Liangchuan still didn’t move. He did finally lift his gaze, however. Just when Qiao Lian thought that he was going to help her out, his attractive deep voice sounded, “I agree that there’s a need for her to check. Unless you have something to hide?”

Qiao Lian’s rationality was drowned by indignation and anger at that instant.

Although she was just a tool, how could he treat her like that?

She tightened her fists in anger, and her eyes turned reddish due to her intense emotions.

But, could she retaliate? Once she thought of her hospitalized brother, she disappointedly looked away and spoke while expressing both her feelings of oppression and ridicule, “Okay! Check me then.”

Once she finished speaking, she acted as if she was going to remove her clothes.

It shocked Yang Lingsi, who commented, “What are you doing?”

Qiao Lian let out a cold laugh. “Didn’t you ask me to remove my clothes?”

Yang Lingsi anxiously peeked at Shen Liangchuan and spoke, “How daring of you to be so shameless in front of Teacher Shen!”

“What is there to be shameful about?” Qiao Lian looked at Shen Liangchuan and suddenly gave a beautiful smile. “After all, your Teacher Shen has already seen everything before, hasn’t he?” Her words were full of provocation.

Yang Lingsi was utterly shocked, “What do you mean?”
