Ji Fei, Qin's Mom, and Qin Rong all sympathized with Rou Yin's situation.
However, seeing the attitudes towards Rou Yin online was truly confusing, and one could easily be brainwashed into sharing the same views as everyone else.
Men made lewd comments about her sexy figure and alluring face, with eight out of ten remarks being vulgar jokes. Yet they claimed it wasn't slander, but rather praise from men for Rou Yin, as if it was something she should be proud of.
They even argued with other women over Yu Rouyin, creating a battle between the sexes, but this kind of defense felt uncomfortable.
Women were divided into two camps. One group, like Madam Zong and her friends, mocked and despised her, as if they had personally witnessed her seducing men and behaving shamelessly. They worried their idols would be tainted by this "dirty thing." The other group consisted of actual mistresses who envied Yu Rouyin's circumstances, saw her as a role model, and were called brainwashed fans with questionable values just like Yu Rouyin.
Only a very small number of people genuinely praised Yu Rouyin's beauty and acknowledged her professional acting skills.
In this situation of being infamous yet popular, even Ji Fei found it overwhelming. The online fans she once found cute and amusing now seemed terrifying.
[Indeed, those who can survive in the entertainment industry through infamy are truly tough.]
Ji Fei had no intention of prying too much into others' privacy, at most just enjoying some gossip.
She stopped reading at this point.
Looking up, she found the group of ladies still staring at her intently, waiting for an answer.
[Women should be more understanding of other women's predicaments. But some women often become accomplices to men in persecuting other women.]
"Do you see clearly now? Do you know what kind of person she is?"
Ji Fei quickly nodded, indicating she understood very clearly.
Madam Zong, thinking Ji Fei agreed, righteously declared, "We must purge her and keep the entertainment industry clean!"
Ji Fei thought for a moment and asked, "Madam Zong, aren't you afraid this might implicate Mr. Zong? After all, we were previously... completely wiped out."
Madam Zong's expression immediately changed as she said, "Of course not. I'll find a way to make my husband see through that bitch's true nature. She seduced my husband, but he will stay true to his principles!"
Ji Fei couldn't help but smirk, "A man who wants to divorce you for another woman has already changed his heart, hasn't he? Do you still want him?"
Madam Zong frowned and said, "What would a little girl like you know? My husband and I have a deep bond after years of marriage. I can't give up on him just because he's temporarily bewitched. I need to save him. You don't need to meddle in this matter; just do what we've asked you to do."
Ji Fei shrugged and grinned, "I refuse."
"What?" Madam Zong probably hadn't expected that after all their talk, this so-called justice warrior and judge of the entertainment industry would refuse.
The other ladies immediately exploded.
"Have you considered the consequences of refusing us?"
"Do you really think you're that important? Did you think we were actually begging you?"
"You ignorant little girl, don't you want a future in the entertainment industry?"
"Stop wasting words with her. Let's talk to the man behind her. She's just a kept woman after all."
Madam Zong also looked at Ji Fei fiercely and said, "Your man is in the upper management of Qin Corporation, right? My cousin is a director at Qin Corporation. I was originally planning to talk directly to your man and have him tell you what to do. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. There are plenty of women like you in the industry. I don't mind finding a new kept woman for your man."
Ji Fei: ... Pfft! Hold it in, don't laugh.
In the distance, Qin's Mom and Qin Rong were already bent over the table, their bodies shaking.
"Oh, so you didn't approach Qin Zhao because you know his identity and that you can't order him around, so you came to me instead?" Ji Fei said, suppressing her laughter.
The ladies' expressions became subtle for a moment.
One of them suddenly spoke up, "Come to think of it, you and Qin Zhao seemed quite close on that show. If we were to collect some videos and photos to show your man..."
Ji Fei was stunned for a moment.
[Hahahahaha... She's trying to intimidate me, using Qin Zhao to intimidate me, hahahahaha! Genius, absolute genius.]
Qin's Mom and Qin Rong were also dumbfounded, and the table they were leaning on shook even more violently.
At this point, Madam Zong had already taken out her phone, seemingly about to make a call. "The wise adapt to circumstances. If I contact my cousin, things will get complicated. Since we've met by chance, it must be fate. And it's for a good cause. Miss Ji shouldn't refuse us again, right?"
Ji Fei pressed her lips together, looking troubled.
[What should I do? Such a classic scene of pretending to be weak and then turning the tables, I'm about to perform the face-slapping act, so exciting! How should I act? The waiter nearby knows my identity, should I have him come over and assist? Or should I just let her call her cousin, since all the directors know me anyway, and then shock them all? Ah, how should I start? This is so frustrating!]
Hearing Ji Fei's inner thoughts, Qin's Mom and Qin Rong also got excited. They wanted to come out and assist, revealing their identities directly. Perhaps these ladies still wouldn't believe it and end up offending them.
That way, they could play the roles of the tycoon's mother and sister, being arrogant and throwing their weight around... The thought was quite thrilling.
The three of them were preparing to flex their muscles from various angles.
But suddenly, someone pushed open the door and entered.
"Little sister, why are you here?"
"Cousin! I came to find you." Madam Zong looked at the door in surprise, waved her hand, and then gave Ji Fei a cruel smile.
"Looks like your luck has run out. I gave you a chance, but you didn't give face. Little girl, you need to learn your lesson the hard way."
"Looking for me? Why are you scolding someone? Is she an employee of our company? Did she make a mistake and upset you?"
Because Ji Fei hadn't turned around and only showed her back, the newcomer didn't recognize her.
Since the stage was set, Ji Fei was waiting for the perfect moment to make her entrance.
"Indeed. Some young girls have questionable values. They think they're untouchable because they're currently being pampered, and they can't tell right from wrong. They have no respect for their elders. Cousin, please take a look and see whose girl this is, so we can ask them to take her back and teach her a lesson."
The director chuckled, immediately understanding the situation, and was about to step forward to ask whose mistress she was.
Qin's Mom and her sister got excited, thinking it was time to stand up and answer!
Ji Fei was elated, thinking it was time to stand up and shock everyone.
Just then, a cold voice, utterly lacking in creativity, came from the doorway, "She's mine. Is there a problem?"
Instantly, everyone looked towards the door. The person who had just finished a meeting entered a step behind the director.
The director was startled. Mr. Qin?
Wait, what's going on? Qin Xian doesn't have any mistress, only the one he's currently keeping by his side... Oh... This is bad.
The director stood frozen with a blank expression.
Madam Zong, due to her cousin being a director here, had naturally met Qin Xian a few times before. Qin Xian's face was unforgettable once seen.
For a moment, Madam Zong's brain seemed to short-circuit, not quite processing what Qin Xian had just said.
It wasn't until Qin Xian walked to their position and stood beside Ji Fei that it sank in.
Someone kept quietly asking Madam Zong, "Who is this..." After all, they had sensed from the atmosphere that something was off.
"Mr. Qin, she... she's yours..." Madam Zong's eyes darted back and forth.
Qin Xian placed one hand on Ji Fei's shoulder, as if embracing her, ignoring Madam Zong and instead lowering his head to speak to Ji Fei in a gentle tone, "What happened?"
Ji Fei looked up, her face full of dissatisfaction as she looked at Qin Xian.
Qin Xian: ?
[My show, my entrance, my act of pretending to be weak and then turning the tables... Qin Xian, how are you going to make it up to me... Wuwuwu. The satisfaction was interrupted, how is this any different from being stopped halfway through taking a dump!]
Qin Xian: Wait, we can talk about this, what kind of description is that!?
Suddenly, Ji Fei narrowed her eyes, abruptly turned her head and tightly hugged Qin Xian's waist, frantically rubbing against his firm abs that could be felt even through his shirt.
Qin Xian's body stiffened.
"Wuwuwu, honey, I was scared. I just refused to help them do something, and they said they would find women for you to replace me. They even wanted to slander my relationship with Third Brother. Wuwuwu, I've been wronged!"
Qin Xian: !
[No one can steal my show... Oh ho, abs~ This... wasn't intentional... Hehe, so firm, let me bury my face a bit longer.]
Qin Xian: ...
The group of ladies turned to stone.
