My Wife is My Life!-Chapter 307

She sneered in a low voice. “Sister Meng Xun, you know more than anyone else that negative hype is still hype*. Isn’t it better now compared to the past?”

*T/N: The original phrase used here was (黑红也是红 or “black and red is also red”). In this case, it means that no matter how negative Shen Weiwei’s image is now, the fact that she has become more popular cannot be denied.

“Those people can scold me as much as they want and flood me with scolding Weibo posts. But what else can they do? What harm does it do to me? On the contrary, they’re only helping me create more hype. Isn’t that something worth celebrating?”

Calming down, Meng Xun thought, What she said isn’t wrong. This is, in fact, a shortcut. But still…

“But from now on…”

“Don’t worry about it. As long as Gu Shaoyu believes in me and stands by my side, my resources won’t be cut off. Once I disappear for a period of time after the hype, it won’t be too late for me to find another chance to come back and clear myself from the matter*. It’s as simple as that.”

*T/N: Original word used was “洗白” which means to prove oneself not guilty of what is originally accused of him/her.

Meng Xun seriously considered it for a while then smiled. “I originally thought you couldn’t accept your image being slandered like that. But since you can accept it, I know what to do.”

“Well, I was thinking that as long as I ignore them and get their words out of my head, there is nothing I can’t accept,” Shen Weiwei replied.

Oh! Speaking of this, I also forgot to tell her about the plan…

She then added happily, “By the way, Shaoyu has promised me that he will help me deal with Tianyu and let me terminate the contract with them in two days. At that time, he will set up a studio and sign me alone.”

“I understand.”

Meng Xun smiled as well, the melancholy and worry from earlier disappearing from her face.

***

During the past few days when the topic was widely discussed on the Internet, Ji Qingqing had been idly keeping Grandpa Lu company at the Lu’s house.

The show just ended and currently, there were no new work arrangements scheduled ahead. As a result, she happily spent her free time relaxing.

Of course, if only Lu Liting was not currently staying with the Lu family, she would be that much happier.

***

After going to the spa with Aunt Pei, Ji Qinqing yawned and prepared to go back to her room to sleep. Lu Liting happened to walk out of his room and collided with her in the corridor on the third floor.

In order to avoid suspicion in the past few days, Ji Qingqing always avoided being alone with Lu Liting. Misunderstandings could easily happen if people see the two of them alone together.

Well since we can’t afford to provoke this young master, it’s best to avoid him to prevent unnecessary problems from happening.

“Wait!”

However, as soon as she turned around, Lu Liting stopped her. He strode forward quickly and stood in front of Ji Qingqing.

“Qingqing…”

Ji Qingqing stood still and looked at him questioningly.

“Is there something wrong?”

Lu Liting was visibly very nervous, his hands were clenched tightly. He also lacked the courage to look directly into Ji Qingqing’s eyes.

Seeing him not speaking for a long time, Ji Qingqing became annoyed and said, “Then if there’s nothing wrong, I’ll go first.”

She and Lu Liting originally had an unclear relationship and the past between them was suddenly turned over. Although the two of them were innocent and had no further interactions, they still lived together in the Lu’s house during this period of time. Therefore, Ji Qingqing tried her best to avoid spending time alone with him.

Otherwise, if we were coincidentally seen by Lu Lixing, matters would only get worse. What should I do if he misunderstands?

But Lu Liting seemed not to understand her unwillingness to talk to him. He interrupted her yet again and summoned enough courage as he continued, “Actually, I have something to tell you.”

“If it was the matter you previously clarified on Weibo, then, needless to say, I’d like to thank you for clarifying it for me,” Ji Qingqing replied.

Ji Qingqing knew about the Weibo post that Lu Liting clarified on Weibo. He was able to post that kind of Weibo, therefore it meant that his relationship with Shen Weiwei was completely over.

Obviously, he could tell that Shen Weiwei was up to no good.

Good for him, then. He won’t have to be kept in the dark and be treated like a fool.

However, Lu Liting disagreed, “No, I didn’t mean to say that.”

“Then what do you want to say?”

Lu Liting looked at Ji Qingqing with a restrained, meaningful glance.

What do I want to say? I don’t even know where to start.

I didn’t do anything wrong and I’m not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door in the middle of the night.

But how could I be this way in front of you? When I look at you, I feel endless guilt and remorse.
