Chapter 502 - 489: Laying a Trap
Jingjing’s sobbing paused for a moment, then she lifted her head.
"Fine, everything is my fault, okay? Qin Yun, you don’t need to be so aggressive here. Yes, my family background isn’t as good as yours, my career isn’t as good as yours, I’m not as pretty as you, and my popularity isn’t as good as yours, but I wouldn’t be as cruel as you!"
"Did I say something wrong? Does it warrant your petty criticism?"
"Do you think everyone present can be fooled by your words?"
"The eyes of the masses are sharp!"
Jingjing might have been provoked, and she spoke lines like classic ones, with a stubborn face, as if someone was forcing her to yield but she refused.
"Who did Qin Yun deceive? Did she deceive you? From the moment we came down the mountain, you led everyone to believe this accident was a deliberate plot by Qin Yun to harm you. When Qin Yun confronted you, you started deflecting, talking nonsense, lucky for you, you’re a girl."
"Qin Yun is an artist from my studio, and I know what kind of person she is. She never resorts to tricks or schemes like some people do. She doesn’t have the intelligence or the need, so there’s no use in trying to ruin her reputation."
"Besides, everyone here isn’t stupid. Regardless of what you say, everyone knows the truth of what happened."
Pei Yan sneered without asking a single question, standing solidly by Qin Yun, even though he didn’t witness the incident himself.
But he just trusts Qin Yun, it’s that straightforward.
Jingjing stopped crying, she looked at Pei Yan in disbelief, her eyes filled with sorrow and pain, "Mr. Pei, you weren’t even there at the time, you can’t just blindly believe Qin Yun, she’s actually a..."
"What is she?"
Pei Yan’s gaze turned icy in an instant, sweeping across Jingjing’s face like a knife.
Jingjing was startled, shrank back, but still stubbornly said, "Mr. Pei, not everyone deserves your trust, some people are just good at acting, rotten to the core."
Pei Yan sneered immediately, "Fine, since you’re stubborn, I’ll show you something, and you’ll know who is really good at acting, who is truly rotten."
Pei Yan took out his phone, slowly walked over to Jingjing, and showed her the screen.
After she looked, her expression changed abruptly!
She then shook her head frantically, her eyes filled with fear, "That’s impossible!!"
She abruptly tried to grab Pei Yan’s hand, but Pei Yan pulled back, causing Jingjing to almost fall.
She was momentarily stunned, couldn’t think further, and pleaded desperately, "How do you have this? Mr. Pei, can you delete it? I apologize to Qin Yun, everything is my fault, I was out of my mind and made a mistake, Teacher Qin, please forgive me."
Jingjing started apologizing frantically to Qin Yun.
Qin Yun heard this and her face was expressionless, "I do not accept your apology. You should know the impact this matter has had on me. These effects can’t be resolved with just a sorry."
Qin Yun snorted, she didn’t bother to look at what Pei Yan showed Jingjing.
But she knew it must be something that could prove Jingjing was lying.
If not for Pei Yan obtaining this evidence, Jingjing wouldn’t have apologized so easily.
Pei Yan put away his phone, his expression even colder, "We’re retaining the right to pursue legal responsibility. Slander and defamation don’t go unaccounted."
Jingjing didn’t expect that even after apologizing she wouldn’t be forgiven, her assistant, who received the news and rushed over, got anxious too and quickly spoke up, "Jingjing has already apologized, can’t you be magnanimous and let her go?"
The assistant stood in front of Jingjing, as if Jingjing was being bullied by Pei Yan and Qin Yun.
And Jingjing cooperatively clung to the assistant’s clothes in fear, hiding completely behind her.
The assistant spread her arms like an old hen protecting her, looking at Qin Yun with an unfriendly gaze, "Moreover, all Jingjing did was speak a few truths, she’s already apologized, you can’t bully her just because you have numbers on your side!"
The assistant’s voice was loud, her questioning was assertive.
Everyone around heard it, Su Yu frowned heavily, about to have someone stop the situation from escalating further, when Qin Yun stepped forward and slapped the assistant across the face.
"Slap"
A crisp sound, the assistant clutched her face, her eyes wide in disbelief, "You hit me?"
Qin Yun laughed and apologized, "Oh, I’m really sorry, couldn’t control my hand, my apologies, but I’ve already apologized, you should forgive me and let this matter drop."
However, the assistant clutched her face and roared, "I’m calling the police, you hit me, why should an apology be enough? If apologies were sufficient, why would we need police? Don’t assume you can bully others just because of your family’s power!"
Qin Yun calmly nodded, "So you know you can’t bully others indiscriminately? And you know mistakes require police intervention? I thought things could be settled with an apology, it seems you don’t agree with your own words then, according to you, rules apply only to others and not yourself? You’re quite double-standard, aren’t you."
The assistant realized Qin Yun was setting her up.
At that moment, confessing wasn’t an option, nor was denial, she was caught in a dilemma.
"Want to call the police?" Qin Yun handed her phone over, "Shall I dial the number for you? What’s the emergency number in Country F?"
"No need!"
The assistant quickly shook her head, pushed away Qin Yun’s hand and phone, and turned to support Jingjing, helping her stand up, "I need to take Jingjing to the hospital now, her leg injury can’t be delayed."
The two pitifully walked down the mountain, Jingjing could only hop on one leg, unable to use the other, creating a particularly ludicrous scene.
Su Yu sighed and immediately arranged for a car to take them down.
"Pei Yan... I didn’t expect this young girl’s temper to be so fierce, slapping her right back like that stunned even me, but truth be told, her straightforwardness really showed how nonsensical that assistant was."
Su Yu found Pei Yan, patted Pei Yan’s shoulder, a playful yet worried tone, "But brother, will your days be peaceful in the future? When you argue or disagree with Qin Yun, aren’t you worried about getting hit?"
Domestic violence is illegal, right?
Surely, they can’t take this behavior as a novelty?
Pei Yan didn’t even glance at Su Yu, "Not something you need to worry about."
Su Yu looked innocent, "Pei Yan, what’s with your attitude? What did I do wrong? I didn’t even close the livestream earlier to give you guys some space for development, do you know what kind of backlash I’ll get when this spreads?"
