Chapter 1120: Perplexed and Smitten (180)

“I’m sorry.” As soon as she said her piece, he apologized. “Will that do?” he continued.

“You’re not sincere at all.”

“What must I do to show that I’m sincere?”

Instead of answering him, she got out of bed and placed the gla.s.s and her mobile phone onto the table before helping him to the washroom.

There were more than ten disposable toothbrushes provided by the hospital.

He squeezed some toothpaste onto the toothbrush and began brus.h.i.+ng.

An Xiaoning stood beside him and looked at his reflection in the mirror.

Likewise, he stared at hers and discovered that she was staring at him blankly without blinking. After rinsing his mouth, he asked, “What are you looking at?”

“Nothing much.”

Just as she was about to help him out of the bathroom, he stopped her and said, “I have to relieve nature’s call.” When they reached the toilet bowl, he said awkwardly, “I… I need to do a number two.”

She tried to help him remove his pants, as if she were his mother. He quickly said, “You may go out, I’ll remove my pants on my own.”

“Alright, be careful not to fall down.” She exited and waited outside.

An Xiaoning cleaned up the table and disposed all the leftover food and cans of beer into the rubbish bin. She then picked up the garbage bag and handed it to the bodyguard outside, telling him to chuck it inside the large trash can.

She then opened the windows to let some fresh air in. She felt much more relaxed while standing by the window and letting the cool breeze caress her face.

What a wonderful feeling.

After she’d been standing there quietly for about six minutes, her mobile phone began to ring all of a sudden. If not for that, she wouldn’t have bothered moving.

It was a call from Mei Yangyang.

“Yangyang.”

“Sis, hurry and go online to take a look at Weibo. Someone uploaded a video of you in the hospital ward. It was uploaded not long ago. I just informed Chief Fan about it. Hurry and go take a look. I’ve already sent you a link to the video clip.”

“Okay.”

She immediately went on Weibo after ending the call. She first checked the list of hot topics being searched to see that her name was not on it before proceeding to watch the video clip.

The video depicted the entire scene that took place from the moment she entered the ward up until Hu Xin left.

It was obvious who had uploaded the video.

Hu Xin had even deliberately tagged a few marketing accounts that had ma.s.sive numbers of followers, as well as the official accounts of several media companies.

Currently, two of the marketing accounts had already shared the video clip on their pages, and they had even posted a new thread that included screenshots of Hu Xin’s post as well as the original video clip.

There had already been hundreds of comments on Hu Xin’s Weibo post within a short period of time…

An Xiaoning skimmed through the comments and found that all the netizens were berating her and showing sympathy for Jin Qingyan, just like she had expected.

Moreover, the netizens seemed to have become detectives and began speculating about the tricks that An Xiaoning had used to deal with Jin Qingyan and take over the Jin Corporation.

They began conjecturing over An Xiaoning’s motives.

They began spreading the word around zealously, as if they had just discovered a groundbreaking secret.

One of the most liked comments read: “Everyone, hurry and save a copy of the video clip. This is a ma.s.sive exposure of the dark side of society. I can’t believe the owner of the mighty Jin Corporation would actually succ.u.mb to a woman who had him wrapped around her finger. An Xiaoning’s dirty tricks are clearly very effective. From the way I see it, she must have compelled Jin Qingyan into marrying her twice. As shown in this video clip, Jin Qingyan had long been driven to his wits’ end by this woman! What he needs now is the help and support of us netizens. Everyone, hurry and spread the word!”

After she stared at that comment for almost a minute, an unforgettable memory popped up in her head.

For as long as she could remember, she had always known that she was not a favorable child.

Her adoptive parents detested her.

The other children in the village refused to play with her, and many accused her of being the reincarnation of a demon.

The event that stuck with her the most took place when a family of three from the city arrived at her village to visit some of their relatives. The daughter of that family was about the same age as An Xiaoning and had approached her to play with her when she noticed that An Xiaoning was sitting alone on the wooden bench.

The little girl was extremely obedient and adorable, and she spoke in a gentle voice. Even until today, An Xiaoning could still vaguely remember the girl’s appearance.

The two of them headed to the riverside and began playing with the mud. An Xiaoning was overjoyed, for there was finally another child who was willing to play with her. They had a whale of a time.

However, not long after they began playing, a bunch of children from the village approached them together with the girl’s parents.

The girl’s mother shot An Xiaoning a dirty look while reprimanding her daughter for playing with her, as if An Xiaoning was the greatest outcast.

After hearing her mother say that An Xiaoning was a jinx and a troublemaker, the girl stared at An Xiaoning in fear and no longer smiled at her.

The girl’s parents then brought her away while the bunch of children began grimacing and sneering at her.

That incident was no different from the one she was facing now. Aren’t these ignorant netizens just like those children from the village?

When An Xiaoning refreshed the page again, all of the comments and posts had all been erased from Weibo.

Needless to say, Hu Xin was not the one who had deleted them.

An Xiaoning began searching for her name and her initials on Weibo, only to discover that the matter had died down.

Due to the fact that any posts and comments that contained An Xiaoning’s name would automatically be detected and erased, all of the netizens decided to replace her name with some alphabets.

“I’m done!” Henry exclaimed.

An Xiaoning put her mobile phone down and helped the temporarily-crippled Henry out of the washroom.

“Hu Xin is trying to save you right now.”

“How did you know? Did she call you again?”

An Xiaoning took out his mobile phone and registered an anonymous account for him on Weibo. She then input her initials into the search bar and handed it back to him. “She had a backup plan and recorded a video secretly. Have a look yourself.”

Henry opened the video clip.

Just like she had expected, he guffawed loudly after watching the video.

Truth be told, An Xiaoning wished she could give him a tight slap for how insensitive he was.

“Is it really that funny?”

“I’m laughing at her, not you.”

An Xiaoning asked in puzzlement, “Why… she’s upholding justice for you. Why do you find that funny?”

“She’s not doing me any justice, she’s merely ruining Jin Qingyan. To be exact, she’s ruining me too. What she had done simply made Jin Qingyan look like a cowardly and incompetent man. She had completely destroyed my pride and dignity. How is that doing me any justice? I already told her to stay out of it.”

“Since you’re the one who caused this, you ought to clean up the mess.”

Henry answered, “It was the words you said that gave her a hold over us, right?”

“Are you completely faultless, then? You’re still the main cause of it. You’re well aware that I detest her and yet you still let her stay. Wouldn’t everything have been fine if you made her leave when I entered?”

“Hold it, let’s stop arguing over that. How do you plan to resolve this issue now?”

She glanced at him from the corner of her eye and gibed, “Are you concerned about how I’m planning to solve the problem, or are you actually worried about how I’ll deal with your precious gem?”

“…”
