Lin Xi originally thought that meeting Li Muze and Qin Yu at the royal ball last night was already bad enough, but she never thought that there would be even worse things happening the next day waiting for her.

The news of his and Qin Yu bringing a male and female couple to the royal ball had indeed dominated the headlines that day, and they had also been exposed by all sorts of "people who know each other and don't want to reveal their names", saying that she and Qin Yu had long since become estranged from each other, that it was only a matter of time before they broke up.

Not only did they not know how they had snuck into the royal ball last night, but they had also secretly taken quite a few photos of Qin Yu and Li Feier "making eye contact", as well as the "meeting with the moon" in the pavilion. Finally, Qin Yu had rushed over to the pavilion to "catch up with the traitor", and angrily "kissing his fiancée." In the end, they had even "shooed away" their fiancée.

A series of headless photos, coupled with a series of fanciful fantasies, actually came up with such a bloody movie.

Not to mention that the netizens were all commenting "how chaotic the noble circle is", even Lin Xi, the person involved, took a while to figure out the relationship between him and the other people in the photo.

It had to be said, that lackey who had secretly taken the photo last night was really good at screenwriting. Even not doing it made people feel like wasting their talent!

When Lin Xi woke up in the morning, she saw that the world had turned upside down on her internet because of all these fake news. There were even people who wrote that she had a four-cornered love affair with Qin Yu and the others — no, it should be a pentagonal love affair, plus Li Feier's husband.

Although Li Muze and Li Feier had already sent out their clarifications early on in the morning, the netizens did not buy it, saying that they were "putting on a show", "colluding", "trying to cover up the truth".

Early in the morning, Lin Xi's mood became gloomy, but what made her even angrier was that not long after, she received a call from Qin Yu, saying that Old Madem Qin had watched the news this morning, and fainted from anger.

She quickly went to find the director to request for a leave of absence, to visit Old Madem Qin in the hospital. Recently, she had requested for leave a little frequently, but after Zhao Qi found out about the whole story, he hesitated for a while and in the end, still gave his approval.

Lin Xi rushed over to the hospital and saw Qin Yu in front of Old Madem Qin's ward.

She thought about how Qin Yu had forcefully kissed her last night and was angry. She did not plan to pay any attention to him and just as she was about to directly bypass him and enter the sickroom, she was stopped when she passed by him.

"I have something to tell you." Qin Yu said.

After guessing that he probably wanted to talk about those things online, Lin Xi thought about it, and decided to focus on the big picture as she followed him into the empty room next door.

Lin Xi asked: "How is Grandmother now?"

Only when she got close did she realise that Qin Yu's face was not good, afraid that the old mistress was not too optimistic.

Qin Yu replied tiredly: "Her condition has stabilized temporarily, her heart has always been in a bad state."

Old Madem Qin's heart had always been bad, which was why she had always been recuperating abroad these past few years. The reason Qin Yu made Lin Xi and him pretend to be lovers, was also because of this point. Because of her illness, the old mistress could not be provoked, and her emotions could not fluctuate too much.

However, the incident at the ball yesterday was written randomly by the unscrupulous media, causing quite a commotion. It was only because Qin Yu was careless for a moment and could not deal with it in time that the old lady accidentally saw it.

When Lin Xi heard that it was a heart attack, she became even more worried. "The entertainment news online is real and fake, grandmother should know about it, why is she so angry all of a sudden?"

"She indeed knows, she does not believe that you and Li Muze would meet each other secretly, but she suspects that there is an ambiguous relationship between Li Feier and me." Qin Yu explained, "She thinks that I have other women outside, it's because she did not take good care of you, and she is ashamed of your grandfather."

That day, Bai Nianxi's grandfather had saved him, but had refused to accept the compensation. That was the reason why Grandma had decided to make the marriage between him and Bai Nianxi.

Now that Bai Nianxi's grandfather had passed away, my grandmother felt that she had the responsibility to take care of Bai Nianxi, but he had spread the rumour to other women while they were still engaged.

"A child should not be taught, but a father should be." He was raised by his grandmother, so she blamed it all on him. In her rage, he fainted all of a sudden.

After Lin Xi heard this, she became anxious, "Then what do we do now? We'll send a few intimate photos like last time to clarify things? "

Qin Yu stared at her for a while before saying: "Grandmother wants me to marry you as soon as possible."

"What?" Lin Xi was startled, then immediately rejected with determination: "No!"

Back then, she had pretended to be a couple with Qin Yu, and it could even be said that she was forced to do it for her father. But now … She would never make a deal with her own marriage again. That was her bottom line.

Although she liked Qin Yu a little, Qin Yu didn't like her. She didn't want to marry someone who didn't like her.

Lin Xi said: "We can tell Grandmother the truth, and tell her that the two of us are not a couple at all. Previously, we were only pretending, and that we lied to her because we did not want her to worry …"

Qin Yu interrupted her and said, "She will think that I wanted to throw you off and purposely forced you to say that." When they first decided to lie, there was no turning back.

Qin Yu then continued, "Right now, only when the two of us get married will she be at ease. This is also her only request."

"I don't agree." Lin Xi shook her head again.

"You wish you'd agree." Qin Yu looked at her and said, "I don't want to force you."

Lin Xi raised her head and met his gaze. "What do you mean?"

Looking into Lin Xi's eyes, Qin Yu could not bear to continue talking, but when he thought of his grandmother who was lying on the sickbed, he closed her eyes and said: "Lin Quansheng is still overseas."

Lin Xi looked up at him in disbelief: "You're threatening me?"

She had just received news a few days ago that her father was recovering well abroad and that his physical fitness allowed him to undergo surgery. The latest assessment showed that the success rate of the surgery was 24%. Although it was still very low, it was much higher than when he was at home.

But now, Qin Yu was threatening him with his father's life.

As long as she didn't agree to get married, Qin Yu could make sure that her father would never be able to undergo surgery. He could even cause accidents and make her father directly die on the operating table …

When he thought of this possibility, Lin Xi's tears instantly fell.

She questioned Qin Yu: "You obviously like other people, but why did you marry me? What's the point of having us act out like this for the rest of our lives? "

If she didn't like Qin Yu at all, perhaps she would agree; but because she did, she didn't want to accept this kind of marriage that was decorated with lies.

But no matter what she said, Qin Yu remained unmoved.

Lin Xi laughed self-mockingly, and could only make the appointment: "I promise you."

Qin Yu's heart suddenly hurt, but he quickly suppressed this strange emotion. He instructed Bai Nianxi once again, "In a while, go see Grandma. She will definitely bring up the matter of the marriage. Don't disobey her, and don't slip up."

"I know." Lin Xi answered, looking like he could do whatever he wanted.

Qin Yu suddenly got angry again — — Did she not want to marry him that much? Do you hate yourself so much?

Lin Xi was baffled by his gaze. It was obvious that she should be the most angry right now.

She looked up and asked, "Can we go see Grandma now?"

Qin Yu replied, "Of course."

He first helped Lin Xi vent her anger, and how to explain the news on the internet later, he then brought her to the sickroom.

In the ward, Old Madem Qin had just finished eating her porridge under the care of a nurse and was resting against the headboard.

Her face no longer had its usual color. She looked pale and haggard, as if she had aged several years in an instant.

Although Lin Xi was not willing to marry to Qin Yu, she had always regarded the Old Mistress as her family. Now that she saw Old Madem Qin's weakened state, after calling her grandma, her eyes turned red.

The madame took her hand and patted it in consolation. "Alright, don't be sad anymore. Grandmother is fine now."

"Or …" The old lady glanced at Qin Yu and asked, "Did Qin Yu give you a hard time? "You tell Grandma, Grandma will stand up for you."

"Nope." Lin Xi shook her head, trying her best to hold back her tears, and said: "I was afraid that you would think too much about the messy news on the internet, so I hurried over to explain it to you. In order to get more attention, entertainment news often catch people's eye and make up nonsense. Actually, my relationship with Qin Yu has always been very good, very stable. "

However, when the madame finished listening to her explanation, he shook his head and sighed, "Don't lie to me. Even though grandmother is old, there are some things that can be seen through. Ever since you went to the filming crew, Qin Yu had been looking for all sorts of excuses to not investigate your class. Now that you are making a scandal with another woman, this is definitely not a baseless rumour. "

"Grandma, don't be misled by the news online." Lin Xi continued to persuade her patiently, "Li Muze and I are fine, Qin Yu and Li Feier are also innocent, moreover Li Feier is already married."

"I believe there's nothing going on between you and Mu Ze, but there's no guarantee that Qin Yu will win." The old lady glared at Qin Yu and said, "He often has a bunch of ladies surrounding him. Even if he doesn't have Li Feier with him, there will still be Zhao Fei'er and Sun Fei'er next time."

After saying that, the old lady's expression suddenly became sad again, "Grandma only wants you to marry Qin Yu as soon as possible because she's afraid that if I'm not there anymore and no one will help you. Only if you get married, and you become the legitimate Mrs. Qin, will Qin Yu be able to take it easy on you, and I can be at ease. "
