Chapter 275: Do You Need a Shoulder to Lean On?
The media and netizens seem to have decided that Munni pushed Xia Yuge off the rooftop. This news has become the headline in major magazines and a trending topic.
The comments section of Munni’s Weibo is full of curses, with Xia Yuge’s fans using all kinds of unspeakable insults against Munni.
But Munni hasn’t even bothered to open Weibo to add to her troubles, carrying on as usual, until she receives a call from the restaurant manager, Zhong Luoyi, informing her that many of Xia Yuge’s fans have gathered outside the restaurant.
Those fans are holding up protest signs, with some even getting out of control and breaking into the restaurant, attempting to cause damage. Zhong Luoyi has reported this to the police, and the police have already arrested the unruly fans.
Besides Xia Yuge’s fans, there are also many journalists waiting at the restaurant entrance for Munni to appear for an interview.
Munni watered the flowers on the balcony, then put down the watering can and said calmly, "Let’s just close for today. If you all want, you can go out for dinner together to relax, and I’ll cover all the expenses at the restaurant."
The news just came out last night, so today those emotional fans and media are likely not to let it go easily, and business naturally can’t go on as usual. So, closing for a day might be a good idea.
Zhong Luoyi nodded, "Alright, thank you, boss."
Finally, as Munni was about to hang up, he suddenly spoke up, "Boss, we believe you wouldn’t do such a thing."
Munni was slightly stunned and found his sudden words a bit amusing, "Why?"
"Just felt that way and wanted to give you some positive energy."
"Got it, thanks, have fun."
After expressing gratitude, Munni hung up the phone and sat lazily in the balcony chair, enjoying the warm early summer sunshine without a hint of distress over the scandal.
About five minutes into sitting on the chair, a sudden doorbell sound rang in her ears.
Munni slowly got up from the chair, barefoot, left the balcony, and went downstairs. She turned on the monitor next to the door, and only then, seeing who was standing outside, did she turn the doorknob to open the door.
Once the door opened, she turned and walked towards the living room without waiting for the visitor to come in, muttering as she walked, "Why did you come at this time?"
Xu Yisen entered the house, changed his shoes at the entrance, and followed her into the living room, chuckling as he replied, "Afraid you’d be bored at home alone."
"Has your model not woken up yet?"
"Not yet for now."
Xu Yisen looked at Munni, who seemed unperturbed, and spoke gently, "Though I don’t know what prompted Yu Ge to jump in front of you, I imagine you must have been scared at the scene. Do you need a shoulder to lean on, or a warm embrace?"
His nonchalant attitude really made Munni laugh; she shook her head, "Thank you for your kindness."
After saying this, she picked up the remote control and turned on the phone, then switched to the entertainment news channel.
Sure enough, the channel was broadcasting last night’s news about Xia Yuge falling off the rooftop.
"Last night, supermodel Xia Yuge fell from the rooftop, three stories high, into the outdoor swimming pool while attending a friend’s birthday party.
Her agent revealed during a reporter’s interview that Xia Yuge suffered a mild concussion when her head hit the pool bottom upon falling and is currently in a coma.
As Xia Yuge was sent to the hospital, a video surfaced on Weibo, showing Xia Yuge and the former wife of Fanshu Group’s chairman, Munni, taking the elevator to the rooftop together.
