Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 1074: Hearing You Say That, I’m Relieved

Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074: Hearing You Say That, I’m Relieved

Chu Yin recalled what had just happened; it was indeed too coincidental.

She never expected that Sister Meng would already be so guarded against her.

Chu Yin pursed her lips and said, "I thought Chu Wu would wait a bit longer to make her move, but they couldn’t wait. In that case, we might as well go with the flow."

Lin Zhiyi looked at her, not understanding.

While the others were chatting, Chu Yin secretly poured the coffee into the trash can.

After all, the room was filled with the aroma of coffee, so Sister Meng couldn’t possibly tell.

Lin Zhiyi shook her head at her and said, "This won’t do."

Chu Yin was stunned.

Lin Zhiyi poured a third of her own coffee out and then pressed the coffee cup against Chu Yin’s lips.

A lipstick mark and some coffee stains were left on the cup.

Chu Yin came to her senses and gave her a thumbs-up.

Lin Zhiyi then picked up the empty coffee cup.

Before long, Sister Meng returned with the makeup artist and pretended to adjust Chu Yin’s coffee cup.

In fact, she was checking how much Chu Yin had drunk.

Slightly weighing it, Sister Meng smiled satisfactorily.

As a manager, she definitely knew the habits of artists.

No celebrity would gulp down coffee, let alone one so sweet.

When handing over the coffee, Sister Meng clearly had an extra watchful eye.

Luckily, when Lin Zhiyi was designing things for celebrities before, she had seen them sip coffee in tiny sips.

Fearing that drinking too much would make them gain weight.

Chu Yin exchanged a glance with Lin Zhiyi upon seeing this.

When Chu Yin went for the interview, Lin Zhiyi messaged Chen Jin, who was at the parking lot.

Chen Jin quickly came over to her.

"Assistant Chen, check what’s in this coffee, and be quick."

"Yes."

Chen Jin turned and left.

Over an hour later, Chen Jin sent a message.

"President Lin, it contains some psychotropic substances. After consuming, one would become excited, some might babble nonsense or faint with convulsions, and may even behave excessively."

Upon reading, Lin Zhiyi instantly understood Sister Meng’s intention.

Chu Yin’s variety show was already popular even before airing.

It even overshadowed Chu Wu.

Sister Meng and Chu Wu couldn’t sit still and wanted Chu Yin to blabber nonsense on the show, causing her image to plummet.

"I see."

Upon reading the message, Lin Zhiyi noted that the host announced a five-minute break.

Chu Yin approached Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi murmured about the contents of the coffee cup.

Chu Yin paused: "I’ve heard of such things before too, saying some artists appear bewitched on programs, possibly being set up."

Lin Zhiyi nodded: "You obviously can’t do that on the show, but how to drag Sister Meng down with it?"

Chu Yin thought for a few seconds and smiled, "I have an idea, wait a moment..."

She whispered a few words into Lin Zhiyi’s ear.

Then she let the makeup artist touch up her makeup and immediately continued the interview.

During that time, Sister Meng kept a close watch on Chu Yin, seemingly waiting for the effects to kick in.

Even Chu Wu couldn’t resist coming over to check.

As everyone was busy, she quietly moved next to Sister Meng.

"What’s going on? Didn’t you say Chu Yin drank the coffee?"

"You don’t understand, female artists like them would never drink too much, so she must be enduring now. The more endurance, the harder it is to focus, making it look more real."

Sister Meng coldly stared at Chu Yin, eyed her clenched hands.

She must be reaching her limits.

Chu Wu also couldn’t wait for Chu Yin to err.

But to their disappointment, Chu Yin responded fluently.

Until the program ended, Chu Yin stood up and collapsed to the floor with a thud.

The scene turned chaotic instantly.

Sister Meng never imagined Chu Yin had held on for so long, even fainting.

According to her plan, after babbling nonsense or misbehaving, she’d find a chance to take Chu Yin away.

Who would have thought Chu Yin would faint publicly?

Worried someone might investigate, Sister Meng immediately rushed to the makeup room.

She must destroy that coffee now; she could still claim Chu Yin fainted from overexertion.

...

Hospital.

Chu Yin slowly woke up, discovering Sang Li and a few others had arrived, including Chu Wu and Sister Meng.

She immediately held her head, feeling unwell: "What happened? I feel awful."

Sister Meng quickly spoke up, "You must have been too tired, causing you to faint, see even Mr. Sang was alarmed."

Lin Zhiyi said, "Sister Meng, I don’t think it’s from exhaustion. On the way to the hospital earlier, you weren’t there, so you didn’t see it, but she was convulsing the whole time; even the doctor was startled, asking if Chu Yin had consumed something."

"No!" Sister Meng said, "Chu Yin didn’t eat anything, breakfast and lunch were at the hotel, same as other guests, and as for the coffee, everyone had some, even Chu Yin’s cup was taken away by Miss Wu."

Sister Meng looked at Chu Wu.

Chu Wu, looking aggrieved, said, "I drank sister’s cup of coffee, but nothing happened to me. Mr. Sang, I don’t know anything, but my sister always had a stomach problem and a history of dieting, so perhaps her health wasn’t good to begin with."

While explaining, she didn’t forget to tarnish Chu Yin’s name.

To play the sick role well, Chu Yin restrained herself from lashing out.

Lin Zhiyi stood up and said, "The doctor hasn’t said anything, why are you two so nervous?"

Sister Meng smiled, "I’m just afraid of misunderstandings."

Chu Wu’s eyes fell on Sang Li: "I’m just worried about my sister."

"Since you’re so concerned, it’s even better," Sang Li suddenly interjected.

Chu Wu and Sister Meng were a bit puzzled.

They glanced at each other.

Sister Meng cautiously asked, "Mr. Sang, what do you mean by this?"

Sang Li replied coldly, "Since our company’s artist had such an incident, naturally we should get to the bottom of it. After all, so many people saw it; spreading such a rumor would make them think the company is exploiting Chu Yin." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Lin Zhiyi cooperated, "Don’t worry, I had the doctor do a comprehensive examination on the way here."

Sister Meng was stunned: "Comprehensive examination?"

"Of course, Chu Yin is currently on the rise. If someone is envious and did it intentionally, how can we not find out?"

"Miss Lin, maybe you’re not familiar with the industry. I think as long as nothing’s wrong with Chu Yin, we can find a reason to tell the public," Sister Meng advised.

Lin Zhiyi stared at her, "Sister Meng, Chu Yin is my friend. I won’t allow anyone to hurt her."

Sister Meng wanted to say something else.

At that moment, the door opened.

The doctor entered with a serious expression, "Mr. Sang, Miss Lin, we detected traces of psychotropic substances in Miss Chu’s blood, suggesting they were taken before filming."

Lin Zhiyi feigned surprise, "Sister Meng, is there anything you’d like to add? Before filming, Chu Yin indeed drank your coffee."

Sister Meng was dumbfounded; she hadn’t anticipated the situation escalating like this.

She quickly said, "I’m framed, I truly didn’t drug it."

Lin Zhiyi stared at her closely, "Sister Meng, do you dare swear you didn’t drug it?"

Sister Meng vigorously shook her head, "Miss Lin, you can’t unjustly accuse me. I only bought the coffee to kindly assist Chu Yin. If I’m wronged for this, who would dare manage Chu Yin?"

Chu Wu chimed in sarcastically against Chu Yin, "Sister, if your health isn’t good, you shouldn’t blame others. Isn’t this putting Mr. Sang in a tough spot? I heard Sister Meng was specially assigned by the company to manage you."

Lin Zhiyi countered, "Chu Wu, are you so sure it’s Chu Yin’s fault? She’s your own sister, so why not support her instead of siding with a stranger?"

Chu Wu’s face turned unnatural, her eyes fixing on Sang Liu as she hesitantly explained, "Miss Lin, I’m just siding with reason, not kinship, isn’t there anything wrong with that? I don’t want to be like my sister, shirking responsibility for my own mistakes and wronging good people."

Lin Zhiyi chuckled coldly, "Hearing you both say this puts me at ease."

Chu Wu: "..."

Sister Meng: "..."
