Chapter 74: Public Couple
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Miss Gu, as the principal of Royal Dance Academy, your actions will tarnish the reputation of the school. What do you think?”
“Miss Gu, the Peach Lotus Cup is about to be held. Will your behavior will result in your disqualification as a teacher?”
“Miss Gu, we saw you hit your stepmother with our own eyes. May I ask why you hit her?”
The repetitive clicks of camera shutters and the reporters’ incessant questioning buzzed in her ears.
Gu Qingcheng could barely keep her eyes open from the flashing cameras, and the reporters’ questions were driving her crazy.
She had never expected such a scene. The only thing she knew was that she had been schemed against by Chu He.
Before she could slap her, Chu He fell to the ground first, not unlike the first time it happened in the Gu family’s villa.
The only difference was that Chu He put an act for Gu Tianhao last time, whereas she acted for the reporters this time.
How was it that Chu He happened to be there, and the reporters coincidentally happened to follow?
Something must have gone wrong, or was she being followed by Chu He?
No.
She wasn’t stalking him. After all, she had brought Huo Xuan to the restaurant with her.
Chu He wanted her dead. If she saw her with a child, she would definitely not let him off. She would go above and beyond to gain the upper hand, even going as far as to search the entire restaurant to dig Huo Xuan out.
However, Huo Xuan had not been exposed. Chu He and Gu Mei were obviously oblivious to Huo Xuan’s existence.
She had even heard Chu He swearing as she entered the restaurant, complaining about the entire restaurant being booked.
Huo Sicheng played the piano for her. Considering the intimate and warm
scene that was undisturbed by anyone, it must have been him that had booked the entire restaurant.
Luckily, Huo Xuan had gone to the bathroom to apply the technique.
Fortunately, she had the foresight to threaten Huo Sicheng and leave with Huo
Xuan.
Otherwise, these photos of her that the reporters were taking would be the least of her problems. Once they managed to get pictures of Huo Xuan, her peaceful life would be ruined.
However, there was one thing that puzzled her. Why did Chu He call the reporters?
She believed that there were no such things as coincidences!
Chu He looked at Gu Qingcheng, who didn’t know what to do. Her eyes were filled with malice, and she quickly put on a pitiful expression.
“Stop filming, stop filming.” She stood up from the ground and hurriedly pushed away the reporters. She pretended to be pitiful and said, “This is a private matter of the Gu family. Qingcheng didn’t hit me. She just accidentally pushed me, and I lost my balance. Don’t misunderstand my daughter.”
The more Chu He said this, the more it made Gu Qingcheng seem like the one at fault.
Gu Qingcheng was so angry that her hands were clenched. She couldn’t hit Chu He so hard in front of so many people.
She could not lose her temper and be photographed by the media. After all, she could not ruin her Royal Dance Academy.
“Instead of asking me so many questions, why don’t we check the surveillance cameras?” She took a deep breath to calm herself down and calmly told the reporters around her, “Of course, we’ll report it to the police first. Otherwise, no one will be able to convince anyone. It’s only fair that we watch the police watch the surveillance footage together.”
When Chu He heard that Gu Qingcheng was going to report her, a look of anxiety flashed across her eyes. She quickly shot glances at the reporters around her.
When the reporters saw the signal in Chu He’s eyes, they hurriedly turned around and left.
“Ah, it’s just a meal. There’s no need for all that commotion.” Qi Shaoze’s surprised voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of a wine glass smashing.
Everyone looked at Qi Shaoze.
When Gu Qingcheng saw Qi Shaoze, her heart warmed.
Since he was here, at least she would not be alone.
Qi Shaoze held a wine glass in his hand. He winked at Gu Qingcheng, and then the glass fell to the ground.
The crisp sound of a wine glass shattering rang out as he walked towards them step by step.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Qi Shaoze, the CEO of Star Dream Entertainment.” He smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you guys to find news in such a romantic restaurant. Isn’t news of our movie king, Jiang, enough for you guys to earn traffic?”
It was only then that Gu Qingcheng saw the handsome Mr. Jiang standing behind Qi Shaoze. The number one female internet celebrity in Jiang City was holding Mr. Jiang’s arm, and she was clearly panicking, not expecting to be seen by the media.
Except for the few reporters who had been distracted by Chu He’s gaze, the ones who remained were the real journalists. They obviously did not expect that after getting a scoop on the grudges between the rich and powerful families, they would be served with a slew of new entertainment gossip.
As a media person, the more headlines there were, the more traffic they would earn.
Someone snapped a photo of Qi Shaoze and Movie King Jiang.
At this moment, Chu He looked at Qi Shaoze curiously.
Gu Mei was admiring Gu Qingcheng’s helplessness. She was glad that her mother had taught that b*tch a lesson. However, Qi Shaoze’s interruption made her look over in annoyance.
With just one glance, she saw the elegance and nobility of this unruly mixed-blood British noble. He was so good-looking that she was stunned.
But when she saw Qi Shaoze walking gently toward Gu Qingcheng, her face darkened, and jealousy surged in her heart.
Damn it, it was Gu Qingcheng again. Why were all the good-looking men Gu Qingcheng’s men?
Huo Sicheng and Qi Shaoze!
Were these b*stards blind?
She was a thousand times prettier than Gu Qingcheng, and she was way better in bed. Why couldn’t they see her?
She glared at Gu Qingcheng viciously. Even if she didn’t have to do anything for the rest of her life, she would still destroy that b*tch Gu Qingcheng.
“Hey, my babe.” Qi Shaoze walked up to Gu Qingcheng and put his hand on her shoulder. He looked at the reporters and said, “I didn’t expect my babe to be so popular that you reporters would surround her.”
The reporters pointed their cameras at Qi Shaoze and Gu Qingcheng, feverishly snapping pictures of them.
“Stop taking photos! Give me your memory cards!” Gu Qingcheng snapped.” The reporter shivered at Gu Qingcheng’s words.
“May I ask what is your relationship with Miss Gu?” Suddenly, a reporter asked Qi Shaoze, “You two look very close.”
“I’ve already called her babe. What do you think our relationship is?” Qi Shaoze smiled like a hooligan as he answered the reporters. He then looked at Gu Qingcheng and said gently, “Babe, look at how charming you are. You’ve attracted so many reporters that they won’t even interview Movie King Jiang.
You’re the only one in their eyes.”
Gu Qingcheng exploded. She was so angry that she wanted to punch Qi Shaoze, but at the same time, she tried to push him away.
She couldn’t go on the trending searches. Otherwise, it would be hard to defend herself.
“You’ve misunderstood. Qi Shaoze and I are just friends.”
When Qi Shaoze felt Gu Qingcheng push him away, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders tightly.
He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Don’t get angry. The more grumpy you are in front of the reporters, the more they’ll like it because this is all news. Don’t worry. I’ve specially brought Movie King Jiang to put out the fire for you. Don’t be rash. Let me deal with them.”
Gu Qingcheng gritted her teeth, knowing that Qi Shaoze was right.
Putting aside the fact that Chu He had faked a fall to frame her, if she lost control of her emotions and hit a reporter, once this was on the news, she would not be able to explain it clearly even if she opened her mouth a hundred times.
“The two of you are so close. You’re obviously not friends, but a couple.” A reporter was ecstatic when he received such explosive news. “May I ask how long Miss Gu and President Qi have been dating?”
At this moment, Qi Shaoze shot a look at Movie King Jiang and the female
internet celebrity.
“AH!!!” A scream once again attracted everyone’s attention.
“Brother Jiang, you said you love me. Why did you push me away when you saw the reporters? I’ve been through a lot!!!”
The number one internet celebrity fell to the ground. Her short skirt was exposed, and she was extremely enchanting. She cried so hard that she complained about Movie King Jiang.
Cheating, love triangles… such entertainment gossip were more attractive to reporters than Qi Shaoze and the others.
When the reporters saw this, they swarmed forward.
“Movie King Jiang, you’re married. Why are you having dinner with an internet celebrity? Does your wife know?”
“Movie King Jiang, it’s too late for you to push her away.”
“Do you think I’ll give you a chance to frame my babe?” Qi Shaoze looked at Chu He. “Don’t think that my babe is easy to bully just because she’s alone. If you bully her, you’re bullying me.”
Chu He did not expect Qi Shaoze to appear out of nowhere.
She looked at Qi Shaoze angrily and said disdainfully, “How about the Qi family? Do you know who I am?”
