CHAPTER 439: CHAPTER 407: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

Qiao Weizhou stared straight at his phone.

Staring at Qiao Shuning’s name on the screen.

Until it rang out, his hand moved and opened Qiao Yuxian’s message.

Qiao Yuxian: [If your parents or Qiao Shuning ask you, just say I threatened you not to tell them.]

After reading the message, before he could reply, Qiao Shuning called again.

This time, Qiao Weizhou answered the call.

"What are you doing not answering the phone?" Qiao Shuning said irritably.

"Sis, I’m in the practice room, entering the practice room requires handing over..."

Before Qiao Weizhou could finish, Qiao Shuning interrupted him: "Did you know long ago that Qiao Yuxian is Xi Mei’s boss?"

"Yes." Qiao Weizhou replied.

"You knew for a while and didn’t tell me or the family." Qiao Shuning said.

"None of you asked." Qiao Weizhou said, "Besides, what difference does it make? None of you are planning to debut."

"Qiao Weizhou, do you know who your real sister is?" Qiao Shuning said sternly, "Since childhood, you always take sides with outsiders. I’m your real sibling by blood, not her!"

"Sis." Qiao Weizhou called her, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"What? Now you don’t even want to listen to me?" Qiao Shuning said.

"I didn’t say that." Qiao Weizhou said, "I’ve been in the practice room for too long, haven’t had dinner, I’m very tired. Just tell me what’s the matter."

"Did Qiao Yuxian help you with your debut?" Qiao Shuning asked.

"Can’t I just have decent skills on my own?" Qiao Weizhou replied.

Qiao Shuning chuckled slightly, without answering his question, but said: "I’m just reminding you. Remember who your real sister is. Who your real family is. Qiao Yuxian is good to you now because you can make money for her, you still have value. If you lose that value, you’ll mean nothing to her."

"Sis, why do you dislike cousin?" Qiao Weizhou asked, puzzled, "We all grew up together, why can’t we just get along, does it have to be like this?"

"Yes. I just hate her." Qiao Shuning said, "It’s either her or me, not both."

"Sis, you..."

"She’s only nice to you to spite me." Qiao Shuning said, "Do you really think she’ll be genuinely nice to you? She’s always fake. She uses others to build her image, then throws them away. Don’t be naive."

"Cousin wouldn’t do that." Qiao Weizhou argued.

"Qiao Weizhou, are you dumb?" Qiao Shuning shouted, "Did everything I just said fall on deaf ears?"

Qiao Weizhou was silent.

Qiao Shuning continued, "Did she say anything to you this afternoon?"

"No." Qiao Weizhou replied, "I’ve been in the practice room all day, didn’t see anyone."

"Who leaked those photos of her and Yixing City online?" Qiao Shuning asked again.

"How would I know?" Qiao Weizhou said, "I just got my phone, I have no idea what’s been happening online."

"Qiao Yuxian didn’t mention it to you?" Qiao Shuning inquired.

"Sis. I contacted you as soon as I got my phone." Qiao Weizhou said, "Besides, why would cousin talk to me about this? Why are you asking?"

"Nothing." Qiao Shuning hung up the phone.

Qiao Weizhou stared at the disconnected call, raised his hand to rub his left shoulder, sighed shortly afterward.

He noticed there’s still five percent battery left and headed towards the dorm.

Just a few steps in, he suddenly stopped, his expression suddenly darkened.

A few seconds later, he found Qiao Yuxian’s WeChat, opened the chat to type:

[Sis, are the rumors about you and Yixing City leaked by my sister?]

After typing, he paused for a while, checked the time, then deleted it.

Qiao Shuning was acting unusually today.

Her questioning about Xi Mei’s boss was expected.

But asking about Yixing City and cousin wasn’t right.

Holding his phone, Qiao Weizhou’s eyes gradually turned cold.

If this continues, Qiao Shuning won’t end well.

Just then, his phone rang again.

It was his parents calling.

Seeing that they were still awake at this hour, he answered the call with some helplessness...

...

The next morning, there was news of Yixing City being taken by the police.

He confessed to fabricating rumors about Qiao Weizhou and Qiao Yuxian.

The reason was a dislike for Qiao Weizhou, wanting to teach him a lesson.

And the reason for this dislike was quite absurd.

Because when Qiao Weizhou saw him at the company, he didn’t greet him.

Having gone to bed at 2 AM and waking up early the following day, Qiao Weizhou was stunned when he saw the news.

He thought about it for ten minutes, trying to remember, but couldn’t recall ever meeting him at the company.

He genuinely had no impression whatsoever.

But there was no blame between Qiao Yuxian and Qiao Weizhou.

Because Yixing City also held grudges against Qiao Yuxian for rejecting him at the Xi Mei backstage.

So, during the New Moon Magazine gala, when he saw the two together, he harbored this thought.

And Yixing City frankly confessed everything.

Because Yuan Wei dug deep into him.

Not only did he investigate, but he also gathered evidence, including physical and testimonial evidence.

Moreover, Yuan Wei cleverly sowed discord between Yixing City and his agent.

So when they got to the police station, they turned against each other, revealing almost everything they did.

Even some things they forgot were brought up by the other.

Including the agent helping Yixing City cover up some "one-night stands."

And chat records between Yixing City and his agent showed they conspired to guide fans into online wars, to create a victim persona.

After successfully doing this once, Yixing City routinely used this method, using fans to smooth over many things.

Including his two former assistants as witnesses.

They said he mistreated staff, got angry at them, and even hit some of them.

And his personal life was chaotic.

Police published these details.

Soon after, online leaks appeared.

Featuring a video of Yixing City hitting staff.

Posted anonymously.

Then more crew members revealed, confirming it.

Fellow crew members didn’t want their hard work to go to waste, so despite Yixing City’s tyrannical behavior, no one said anything.

Just for the show to air smoothly.

Now that he’s like this, it didn’t matter anymore.

Everything was exposed.

Fans waiting for Yixing City’s innocence were dumbfounded.

His follower count slightly decreased yesterday. Today, fans were leaving by the second.

And soon, Yixing City’s social media account was banned.

Qiao Weizhou later called Qiao Yuxian.

He told her he had no recollection of ever seeing him at the company.

After a brief chat, he asked: "Sis, the thing with Yixing City, was it my sister..."

Qiao Yuxian paused for a moment and replied: "Why do you ask?"

"It was her." Qiao Weizhou suddenly affirmed.

Qiao Yuxian stayed silent.

Qiao Weizhou said, "Sis, what are you planning to do?"

"What do you want me to do?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"I..." Qiao Weizhou hesitated for a moment, "Sis, I want both of you to be okay, but that’s impossible. And... this is your issue. She did something to hurt you. You’re the victim. It’s up to you to decide."

"Focus on preparing for your debut." Qiao Yuxian said, "Don’t worry or think about anything else."

"Got it."
