After being dumped by the diva, I was picked up by her arch-enemy.

The 88th floor of the Shanghai World Financial Center in Shanghai's CBD.

Office of a senior partner at Junhe Law Firm.

Bai Wanyi, dressed in a well-tailored black business suit, sat behind a large mahogany desk.

She held a cup of black coffee in her hand, her eyes sharply fixed on the computer screen.

The screen displayed the trending topic of Lin Qinghe and Chen Yu's scandal.

As the eldest sister, she has always kept a close eye on her troublesome younger sisters.

She knows Lin Qinghe too well.

This girl has a cool and aloof personality and is very tactful in her actions.

She dated Jiang Yichen for three whole years, keeping it a complete secret.

The media has never even captured a glimpse of his back.

Now look what's happened.

Going to a secluded little bar late at night, not only was I photographed, but nine high-definition photos of me went straight to the top of the trending searches?

Bai Wanyi sensed something was wrong when she saw the news.

Therefore, an inside investigation was initiated.

A chief lawyer of her caliber has a complex and intricate network of connections.

He has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, as well as in media relations.

A detailed investigation report was sent to her email address overnight.

Bai Wanyi opened the email and quickly scanned its contents.

The more I looked at her, the colder her expression became.

The source of the photos is an obscure gossip studio.

But by following the flow of funds and the contact persons, the final clue pointed directly to a shell company.

This shell company has intricate connections with Chen Yu.

Oh.

Bai Wanyi stared coldly at the screen, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

What a Chen Yu!

What a leading lyricist and composer of the new generation!

On the surface, he appears to be a gentle and refined gentleman, but behind the scenes, he resorts to such despicable means.

She picked up her phone and dialed Lin Qinghe's number.

Inside the nanny van.

Lin Qinghe looked at the name flashing on the screen and answered the phone.

"Big sister." Her tone revealed an unconcealable weariness.

"Qinghe, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

Bai Wanyi's tone was very serious, without the slightest hint of small talk.

"It's convenient, I'm in the car."

Lin Qinghe sat up straight.

I've seen the trending topics online.

"What exactly is going on between you and that Chen Yu?"

Lin Qinghe rubbed her temples: "Big sister, it's a misunderstanding."

"A misunderstanding?" Bai Wanyi retorted. "Qinghe, have you been in the entertainment industry for too long? Has it made you dull-witted?"

Lin Qinghe was stunned.

"Big sister, what do you mean by that?"

Bai Wanyi took a deep breath and released the investigation results.

"I had someone investigate the paparazzi who released these photos."

"Following the clues, we traced it back to Chen Yu's connections."

"He picked that little bar, and he arranged the paparazzi in advance."

"Even that so-called misaligned hug at the end was something he deliberately chose the right angle for the camera to see."

"Even your agent, Sister Wang, may have been bribed by him."

Bai Wanyi's words pierced Lin Qinghe's heart.

Lin Qinghe froze in her seat.

Even with the phone pressed against her ear, she felt her hands and feet were ice-cold.

The scenes from last night flashed through my mind.

Chen Yu took her to that secluded little tavern to cheer her up...

Chen Yu "gentlemanly" escorted her to the car at the door...

And last night, Chen Yu made that phone call, full of self-blame and guilt.

"It's not your fault, it was my carelessness that put you in the spotlight..."

Chen Yu's gentle voice still lingered in my ears.

Looking back now, every word was a carefully calculated hypocrisy!

Lin Qinghe felt a churning in her stomach.

Nausea.

It's disgusting like never before.

She always thought Chen Yu was a confidant who understood her, a friend she could confide in.

In the end, it turned out that he had orchestrated and acted in the whole thing!

"Qinghe? Qinghe, are you still listening?"

Bai Wanyi's voice came again.

Lin Qinghe came to her senses, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

"Big sister, I'm here."

"Just know what's going on in your heart, don't be fooled by others." Bai Wanyi's tone softened, showing concern.

"...I understand. Thank you, big sister."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qinghe leaned back in her chair, her face deathly pale.

She suddenly remembered Jiang Yichen.

Even though she neglected and disliked him, the man never said a bad word about her to anyone outside.

The man who left cleanly and decisively after the breakup, without any lingering attachments.

Compared to a treacherous and cunning hypocrite like Chen Yu, Jiang Yichen is so clean it's almost heartbreaking.

A strong sense of guilt and anger at being deceived intertwined.

It made Lin Qinghe almost breathless.

The van was parked outside the photography studio.

The assistant opened the car door.

"Qinghe, we've arrived."

Lin Qinghe put on sunglasses to hide all her emotions, and walked into the photography studio in high heels.

Today's photoshoot features the male lead of a leading international skincare brand.

The requirement is to project an independent, confident, and aloof demeanor.

But Lin Qinghe's current condition is absolutely terrible.

The spotlight shone on my face.

The photographer shouted from behind the lens.

"Teacher Lin, sharpen your eyes! Don't get distracted!"

"Teacher Lin, your chin is raised too high; your expression is too stiff!"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"Teacher Lin, did you not get enough rest today? You don't look well at all."

A short GGNG was mentioned more than ten times.

Lin Qinghe stood in the center of the set.

My mind was filled with the words Bai Wanyi had said.

Chen Yu's hypocritical face kept flashing before my eyes.

She simply couldn't concentrate.

The director sighed helplessly and could only let everyone take a ten-minute break.

Lin Qinghe sat in front of the vanity mirror, looking at her own pale face reflected in the mirror.

It's ridiculous.

He considered himself clever, but he was completely fooled by a hypocrite.

I barely managed to finish filming the remaining shots.

Lin Qinghe changed her clothes, wanting nothing more than to leave this suffocating place as soon as possible.

All she wants now is to go home, lock the door, and not see anyone.

I just stepped out of the photography studio.

A blinding flash of light suddenly went off.

A large number of entertainment reporters who had been waiting outside the door rushed in.

Long guns and short cannons were instantly thrust in front of Lin Qinghe.

"Lin Qinghe! Is your relationship with Chen Yu real?"

"You two were on a date at a bar last night, are you already living together?"

"You've always maintained a single image, so isn't this sudden announcement of a relationship a deception of your fans?"

"Chen Yu is a top-notch songwriter; is this collaboration with you for your future music?"

Countless sharp questions came crashing down on us.

The microphone was almost poking Lin Qinghe's face.

The assistant desperately spread his arms to block in front of him.

"Excuse me! Please make way! We do not give interviews!"

But the strength of the female assistants was no match for the group of frenzied reporters.

The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller.

Lin Qinghe was squeezed in the middle, with nowhere to retreat.

The flash of the camera made it impossible for her to open her eyes.

In the past, she might have been able to maintain her composure and aloofness.

But now, all she can think about is the disgusting fact that Chen Yu schemed against her.

Shock, anger, nausea.

A mix of emotions left her mind blank.

She bit her lip tightly and remained silent.

Just when things were at their most chaotic point...

A sudden commotion arose from the surrounding area.

A man wearing a light blue linen shirt strode in.

It's Chen Yu.

His face was full of anxiety, and his brows were furrowed.

He rushed straight to Lin Qinghe, shielding her behind him and blocking all the cameras that were shooting at him.

"Dear friends in the media! Please calm down!"

Chen Yu raised his voice, his tone conveying just the right amount of anger and heartache.

"If you have any problems, come at me!"

"Qinghe is very tired from work today, please don't pressure her like this!"

The flashes went off even more frantically.

The reporters were so excited their eyes were red.

The person in question personally stepped in to protect the flower!

This is explosive news!

"Teacher Chen Yu! Does this mean you're admitting to your relationship with Lin Qinghe?"

"Mr. Chen Yu, how long have you been together?"
