Chapter 304

Qin Wei supported her heavy head and bent over to pick up her bank card...

Forget it, there was no money inside, not worth picking up.

She turned around and went to pick up her strawberry bear instead.

She didn't have the heart to pick up anything else. She opened the mini bar's fridge and took out a bottle of sparkling water.

After a few big gulps, Qin Wei finally felt the dry pain in her throat get a little better and her stomach was much more comfortable.

She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the view outside, silently lamenting—

"This isn't my room!!!"

...

Qin Wei pushed open the door and went out to see Li Liang standing guard at the door. When Li Liang saw her, she was first delighted, then revealed a panicked and nervous expression, not daring to look directly at Qin Wei.

She feels guilty, she feels guilty!

It must be her!!

It looks like she knows she was wrong!!!

Qin Wei deliberately coughed twice:

"I'll give you a chance to apologize, before I get angry."

"Apologize?"

Li Liang didn't dare look at her, just kept her head lowered and said softly,

"Sis, I was wrong..."

Qin Wei held her forehead, and corrected her again:

"I'm sorry, strawberry bear, I was wrong."

Li Liang was confused: "Huh?"

"You threw it on the ground for a whole night."

Qin Wei held up her flashlight:

"Look, it's so angry that its eyes are glistening with tears."

As she spoke, she pressed the flashlight power button twice.

The bear's eyes flashed on and off.

Li Liang: "?"

Qin Wei shoved the strawberry bear into her hands. She held her own head with a weak look:

"Give me the room card, I want to go back to my room to lie down. Bring me something plain and light to eat... I feel like my head is about to fall off..."

Then she walked forward.

"Sis...the key, Teacher Qiao took it when she left..."

Li Liang called Qin Wei back. "Uh...you drank too much last night, and hit...hit her, and also occupied her room..."

Qin Wei: "???"

Qin Wei: "!!!"

......

Backstage at the TV station's evening gala was bustling with activity.

"Teacher Qiao, I'm so sorry..."

The staff kept bowing and apologizing.

"It's alright, I understand."

Qiao Sixiao beamed a brilliant smile, and kept reassuring them.

Just before going on stage, the show segment had been cancelled. Although understandable, it was still a little disappointing.

After all, Qiao Sixiao had already come to the studio five times for rehearsals beforehand.

The dance was fine, the theme was novel too. She had sacrificed a lot of rest time for the rehearsals. But at the last minute it was cancelled due to "time limitations". She felt wronged, but couldn't show it.

While the team was busy, Qiao Sixiao slipped away to the emergency stairwell by herself, and sat on the stairs, just wanting to catch her breath and have a quiet moment alone.

In her annoyance, she took out a cigarette and lighter that she had sneakily gotten from her assistant. With a soft "clack", the cigarette was lit. At the same time, a delicate and pretty young woman was standing behind her, looking down at her from above.

In that instant, Qiao Sixiao's mind went blank. She fumbled to try and hide that cigarette.

In her panic it was snatched from her hand by the other party.

"What are you afraid of? If you want to smoke then smoke, is it so hard to be yourself?"

She said to Qiao Sixiao, even smiling at her.

Qiao Sixiao wanted to explain, when the door opened and a tall, thin man walked in. Looking at the notes in his hand, he said:

"Little ancestor, not easy to find you ah. Just two more segments then it'll be your turn. You ready... Yo, since when did you learn to smoke too?"

The moment the door opened, the cigarette in Qiao Sixiao's hand was suddenly taken away by the woman. She held it and looked at it again and again, until the man came in, then she took a drag.

"Cough cough cough... none of your business!"

The woman coughed a few times, threw the cigarette on the ground and left. The man who was left behind lifted his foot to stamp out the cigarette, picked it up and held it in his hand. Only then did he notice there was someone else sitting on the stairs.

The man recognized who she was, his expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal:

"Aren't you afraid if word gets out?"

Having said that, he left too.

For the first time, a question arose in Qiao Sixiao's heart—

"Is this... the competition?"

...

......

Ding ding ding–

Knock knock knock–

Qiao Sixiao was finally woken up by the repeated knocking and doorbell sounds.

Sitting up in bed, she looked at the time on her phone, and only then realized that everything just now was a dream.

When did that happen? She had forgotten too. It must have been a very long time ago, just a small matter that she had never recalled before, buried deep in her memories...

Knock knock knock–

"So annoying!"

Qiao Sixiao got up to open the door, about to curse out loud. But she saw a pitiful and innocent looking Qin Wei standing at the door.

Haggard, with slightly swollen eyes.

The moment the door opened, Qiao Sixiao was still aggressive. Seeing her sagging face, Qin Wei whined:

"Li Liang was fierce to me just now. She said I was fierce to her, and that I hit you. But my head hurts, my arms hurt, my whole body hurts. Tell me it's not true..."

Qiao Sixiao held the door and glared at her: "You came just to say this?"

"Mm!"

"I still want to sleep. Bye!"

Qiao Sixiao wanted to close the door, but was blocked by Qin Wei's hand.

"Don't close it, please."

Qin Wei looked truly sincere.

"With the door closed, I'll remember that I don't have a room card and don't know where my phone went. I'll just stay in the living room looking for my phone. You do your sleeping and ignore me."

Qiao Sixiao: "......"

Speaking of phones, when Qiao Sixiao had gone out yesterday, she brought Qin Wei's phone out with her and gave it to Li Liang for safekeeping...

...

"Where's my phone? Where has my phone gone?"

Even with the bedroom door shut, Qiao Sixiao could still hear Qin Wei mumbling to herself repeatedly. Qiao Sixiao wrapped her head with the blanket, but still couldn't fall asleep.

Seems like after yesterday's private party, marketing accounts online had begun a new round of smearing—

[Some stars have just made comebacks, but their images have already collapsed. Recounting a certain actress's dark history, is her popularity accompanied by lots of troubles? What do you all think?]

There was even an embedded video that clearly showed Qin Wei, though it didn't name her directly.

In this three minute video, there were clips from passersby of Qin Wei hitting people in the film and television city, as well as clips of her hitting people abroad. There were also sneak shots of her sitting drinking milk tea and glaring at her assistant, and photos walking in the summer heat with her assistant holding a mini fan and fanning her the whole way.

These were all recent incidents in the past few months. Old news from previous years like making her assistant tie her shoelaces, throwing tantrums and being late were also dredged up.

On one hand you could say it was slander, but the video really did show Qin Wei.

On the other hand if you said it was truthful, the video creator had cut off the beginning and ending of every clip, only leaving the least flattering parts of Qin Wei. Comments—

[Ew! How could she hit people? If there's an issue can't it be resolved legally?]

[It was resolved legally! The video isn't complete. The beginning shows others causing trouble first. It was legally resolved after, there's complete videos online.]

[But it's a fact she hit people! I watched the complete version mentioned, I watched the first thirty seconds that you referred to, and didn't see what you said. I only saw Qin Wei hitting people. No matter what led to it, she did hit someone, that's a fact. Fans don't come and disturb me, I only believe what I saw myself. I'm blacklisting her for life. I'm saying it clearly now, bye bye.]

[Then you should at least watch the complete video fully before judging right? ]

[The fan above seems so eager to whitewash their idol, huh? Your idol hit people and bullied assistants, who knows what other disgusting things she might have done?]

[She curses people too! She's said "damn" several times before!]

[On shows she's said even more vulgar things! I've seen it before, just forgot which show, but I'm sure she's cursed!]

[Haven't you all noticed, she doesn't get along with some actress friends, there are often rumors about them not getting along. But with male celebrities she never has rumors! The male stars all seem to be quite fond of her, isn't that a bit strange?]

[So strange! How come Qin Wei only acts female roles and not male roles, does she discriminate by gender or something? (doge)]

[Bro, don't attack your ally above, that person is being sarcastic to the one above them! Of course actresses who don't like Qin Wei are competing over resources. What do male stars have to compete with her over? Female lead roles or a spot in a girl group??]
