By the time Asha was carried out of the room, she had curled up into a ball. Xunxun called her name for a long time, but to no avail. In the end, he went out to buy supper.
"The police didn't come looking for us again, right?" Asha finally woke up. She sat in the living room and ate fried noodles.
"No." Xunxun picked out a dessert without eggs for her. "They'll know it wasn't done by an ordinary person once they've examined the wound. I'm guessing Interpol is already involved."
Xunxun frowned when he saw Asha curling her lips at the cake. "Don't eat anything with eggs in it. You'll get rashes tomorrow."
Asha was allergic to eggs as well. Perhaps it was Xin Qing's family trait, but she was even more allergic to eggs than Xin Qing.
Asha pouted and took a bite of the dessert Xunxun had picked for her. Suddenly, she thought of something. "Is the Mo family … doing anything?"
"Not bad. You see the main point." Xunxun patted her head. "They contacted me this afternoon. We've arranged to meet tomorrow. You should come along."
Asha nodded. As the last person to interact with Mo Xi, the Mo family would definitely want to meet her.
"Let's have dinner nearby tomorrow." She didn't feel like moving when her period came.
But the next afternoon, Asha couldn't leave the house.
A video suddenly appeared on the Internet. A man and a woman were standing face to face. Then, the woman touched the man's waist. The man looked like he was going to hug her, but he fell to the ground.
Soon, the netizens found out that the woman was Mei Jing. Then, someone said that the man was the recently deceased Mo Xi.
Reporters blocked the entrance of Stars Entertainment. Asha's registered address was also surrounded by reporters. Fortunately, Xunxun had been careful to keep it a secret. No one knew that they were living together now.
"Stay at home. Don't go anywhere." Xunxun glared at her.
Asha knew he was angry.
"Can't you see that I was pushing him?" Asha pouted, pretending to be wronged. "Do you want him to jump on me and hug me …"
Xunxun sighed. "You know that's not what I meant. I'm just blaming myself for not being there. You were bullied."
"So he's dead!" Asha raised her head and said with a smile.
If Maxi had not died that night, or if Xunxun had appeared a little later, that unlucky guy would have been impotent for at least half a year. Her needles were not in vain.
Xunxun frowned. "I'll head to the company to take care of it. Don't pick up any calls you don't recognize. Give me a call if you need anything. Don't go out."
After sending the man away, Asha stared at her phone. She knew that Bai Qi must have done this. The place where she and Maxi had an argument was a blind spot that the camera could not capture.
"You're just trying to force me out. I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeves!"
Her phone rang. Asha looked at it and quickly picked it up.
"Daddy!"
In Starlight Entertainment, Wan Qingsi frowned.
"The police said they'll release a statement immediately to prove that Mei Jing had nothing to do with this incident," Qi Xiu said, looking at Qi Xiu. "I have a feeling that Mei Jing might have offended someone. This video is obviously directed at her. "
"Stay out of this," Wan Qingsi said, rapping his knuckles on the table. "What's Tang Yue been up to lately?"
Qi Xiu thought for a moment, then said, "Nothing unusual. She's almost done with that commercial. Yesterday, she accepted a few local TV stations' Christmas parties. Why? Do you suspect her? "
"She's not that capable," Wan Qingsi said with a wave of his hand.
Qi Xiu suddenly asked with a gossipy look on his face. "By the way, where did you hide Mei Jing?"
"You're a reporter?" Wan Qingsi looked up. "Tell Tang Yue to come see me."
The moment Tang Yue returned to the company, she was informed that Wan Qingsi wanted to see her.
"Senior, you were looking for me?" She pushed the door open and walked in, looking as gentle as ever.
Wan Qingsi did not even wait for her to sit down. "If this happens again, you can forget about working in this industry," he said.
Tang Yue's expression changed. "Se … Senior, what do you mean?"
"You're the one who gave Mei Jing's address to the reporters," Wan Qingsi said, looking at her. "Should I call you stupid or an idiot? It's so obvious, and you still want to hide it. "
"I …" Tang Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Why are you suspecting me?"
Wan Qingsi sneered. "I'm not suspecting you. I'm warning you."
"Just because her name is Asha?" Tang Yue panicked. "If you do this, when Ying Xin comes back, she …"
"This is my business. It has nothing to do with you." Wan Qingsi cut her off. A few seconds later, just as Tang Yue was about to collapse, Wan Qingsi spoke again. "Do you even have a brain? Your actions are damaging the company's interests. "
"How much effort do we have to put in to turn the situation around? And how are we going to explain to Xin Enterprises? "
Tang Yue felt a surge of joy. This was her goal. If Xin Enterprises found out that Mei Jing had something to do with the murder, would they still hire her? Besides, this had nothing to do with her. She was just leaking the address to the reporters.
Tang Yue felt emboldened by the thought. "Senior, this has nothing to do with me! Even if Xin Enterprises doesn't hire her, it's because she's a murderer … "
Bang! Wan Qingsi slammed the table. "Watch your words. If you dare to go out and say this to the reporters, I'll ban you immediately."
"I'm sorry!" Tang Yue smiled. "It was a slip of the tongue. She was with you that night. You should know better than anyone. But no matter what people say, we can't stop them! "
Wan Qingsi didn't want to argue with her anymore. He stood up and opened the door. "Take care of yourself," he said.
"Humph, I'll see how long you can protect her." Tang Yue gritted her teeth.
The farce lasted until the police issued a statement. The public opinion on the Internet stopped, but the reporters were still looking for Mei Jing everywhere. When she returned to the set the next day, she was blocked at the door.
"Mei Jing, do you have a deal with Mo Xi?" A small-eyed reporter shouted.
Asha looked at him in panic. Xiao Hua pushed the reporter away. "Which newspaper are you from? What nonsense are you talking about? "
"How can you say that!" Asha looked like she was about to cry. She turned her hand in the air and covered her face. "Ah!" The small-eyed reporter screamed, and his camera fell to the ground.
The crowd suddenly parted to two sides. Wan Qingsi strode over.
"Qi Xiu, find out which newspaper he's from. Send them a lawyer's letter." Wan Qingsi glanced at the reporters coldly. "If you have a brain, go watch the news. Don't be fooled by others."
The small-eyed reporter was still worried about his camera when he saw Asha squatting in front of him.
"Are you okay?" She asked loudly. Then, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, she said, "Who told you to come and slander me?"
"You?" Zhao He stared at the woman in front of him in shock. Her eyes were cold, and there was a mocking smile on her lips.
Asha picked up the broken camera. "If this happens again, it won't be the camera that's broken." After that, she threw the camera to him. Then, she put on a look of panic and followed Wan Qingsi.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Zhao He was the only one left sitting on the ground. His eyes were filled with shock.
"The Mo family sent someone," Xunxun said, sitting in the nanny van. The weather was getting colder. He had specially arranged for Asha.
Asha was stunned. She had thought that the reporter was Bai Qi.
Xunxun handed her a cup of milk tea. "The Mo family is fighting among themselves. Mo Xi is the child of an outside woman. He has an older brother."
"His brother sent someone to slander me?" Asha didn't understand. "What's in it for him?"
"Because he sent someone to kill Mo Xi that night. If Mo Xi didn't die in the restaurant, he would've died in the hotel." Xunxun sneered. "The strangest thing is that the person he sent is missing."
"So he thinks that Mo Xi was killed by the person he sent." Asha understood. "If everyone thinks that I'm the murderer, then no one will suspect him."
Xunxun frowned. "He already tested me this afternoon. It's obvious that he doesn't want me to get involved."
"Tsk, tsk. It's easy for me! I'm just a small-time celebrity who clings to my boss. Now I'm being framed as a scapegoat. "Asha smiled and winked." Boss, please don't abandon me! "
Xunxun gave her a kiss. "If you behave yourself tonight, I'll consider not abandoning you."
"Tch …" Asha rolled her eyes at him. Then, she got out of the car and went to film.
Soon, the Mo family announced publicly in front of the reporters that they did not believe the police's judgment. They believed that Mei Jing had something to do with Mo Xi's death. Not long after that, Xin Enterprises released a statement that they had terminated all cooperation with Mo Enterprises.
When Tang Yue saw the news, she froze in disbelief. Wan Qingsi was one thing, but why was even Xin Enterprises on Mei Jing's side?
On the weekend night, Ying Qingcang invited Asha for dinner.
"Your mommy doesn't know anything," Ying Qingcang said, his face dark. "Watch your mouth when you go home tomorrow."
Asha chuckled. "Daddy, this has nothing to do with Xunxun."
"Stop siding with him. Whose daughter are you?" Ying Qingcang glared at her. Then, his tone softened. "You don't have to worry about anything. I'll deal with the Mo family."
The waiter came in to deliver the dishes. A woman walked past the door and paused. Then, she quickly retreated. Neither Ying Qingcang nor Asha noticed. The next day, however, Stars Entertainment was once again surrounded by reporters. This time, it wasn't just Stars Entertainment. There were many reporters at the entrance of Xin Enterprises as well.
"The CEO of Xin Enterprises is meeting a young female celebrity at night. Mei Jing ditched Wan Qingsi and clung to Ying Qingcang!" Asha tossed the newspaper onto the floor. "There are photos. Someone took photos of us last night."
Xunxun comforted her. "Don't worry," he said. "I've already sent someone to get the surveillance footage."
"We were sitting in a private room. We shouldn't have been discovered!" Asha spun on the spot. "What I'm worried about now is that someone will use this to make an issue out of it and embarrass mommy."
Xunxun pulled her to sit down. "I'll take care of it before that happens," he said.
"Ken!" Qi Xiu pushed the door open. "Guess who was there last night!"
"Who was it?" Asha asked.
Seeing that Wan Qingsi didn't say anything, Qi Xiu looked at Asha. "Tang Yue!"
