After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 589 Reporter Raid

Chapter 589: Chapter 589 Reporter Raid

Ling Qingxue, when questioned, did not feel guilty and immediately stated the excuse she had prepared in advance.

"Acheng, are you still mad at me?"

Quan Sicheng blinked, wondering if he had heard wrong.

Or perhaps, the woman in front of him had mistaken him for someone else?

But...

There couldn’t be such a coincidence.

As Quan Sicheng was thinking, he heard Ling Qingxue accusing Shi Yiqing in a reproachful tone, "Acheng and I just had a fight, our relationship isn’t something you can interfere with so easily."

"Don’t think that just because we’re in a cold war, you can take him to a hotel and do whatever you want with him."

Quan Sicheng was dumbfounded.

What cold war?

What doing whatever she wanted with him?

Why couldn’t he understand what she was saying?

Shi Yiqing had a look of disdain, "Who knows if what you’re saying is true."

"Brother Sicheng doesn’t even recognize you as his girlfriend."

Ling Qingxue glared at Quan Sicheng and huffed angrily, "You don’t acknowledge my status?"

Quan Sicheng opened his mouth to speak, but before he could get the words out, Ling Qingxue started to cry, "You heartless man!"

"Ah?" Quan Sicheng blinked, wanting to say he wasn’t heartless, but...

That argument didn’t seem very convincing.

Because at that moment, Ling Qingxue’s expression really did look like someone betrayed by the person she loved.

Even though Quan Sicheng couldn’t recall ever promising her a lifetime together.

Especially since the current situation seemed strangely odd.

He felt it was best to stay silent for the time being.

Without speaking, the battlefield was left to Shi Yiqing and Ling Qingxue.

Neither Ling Qingxue nor Shi Yiqing would give in to the other.

They argued incessantly in front of Quan Sicheng.

"Acheng is my boyfriend, what are you doing running off to a hotel with him? He might be your ex-fiancé, but I’m his current partner!"

"You’re talking nonsense, Brother Sicheng’s fiancée is clearly me! What girlfriend are you talking about? You’re obviously just trying to be a mistress and interfere with Brother Sicheng and me."

"When you abandoned him for another man back then, you should have realized you’d completely lost him. Anything you say now is too late."

"I don’t believe Brother Sicheng would fall in love with someone else!"

"Acheng..."

"Brother Sicheng..."

Quan Sicheng felt a headache from their quarreling and was about to say something to quiet them when suddenly, a group of journalists burst in from one end of the hallway.

Seeing the journalists, Shi Yiqing’s complexion instantly changed.

She tried to shut the door with the back of her hand, but Ling Qingxue blocked her.

She was too slow and, left with no other choice, could only stand off with Ling Qingxue.

In the brief confrontation, the journalists she had tipped off already barged in carrying their equipment.

Shi Yiqing couldn’t afford to care about exposing her own ulterior motives and yelled, "Stop, all of you!"

The clamorous journalists calmed down at her shout.

They looked at her instinctively, wanting to know what she would say next.

Then, everyone heard her say, "All of you go back, there’s no news left for you to capture here."

"Go back?"

The male journalist not far from Shi Yiqing, eyes glittering with excitement, had captured clear shots of Shi Yiqing from this close distance.

When Shi Yiqing had come out to open the door, she was indeed wrapped in a towel.

But the towel loosened during her quarrel with Ling Qingxue.

Though it hadn’t fallen to the ground, it no longer served its purpose as a cover.

Capturing news is a journalist’s job, and finding the perfect angle for a photo is the photographer’s trick of the trade.

Earlier, he had managed to capture the most beautiful scenery.

Now, asking him to give that up was absolutely out of the question.

Moreover...

No one has ever heard of filming something halfway through.

Shi Yiqing realized that the male reporter’s gaze was off, and she immediately expressed her dissatisfaction, "What kind of look is that in your eyes?"

"I told you, you don’t need to keep filming, do you understand?"

After she finished speaking, the crowd still showed little reaction.

But Ling Qingxue heard it, she looked at Shi Yiqing with disapproval and questioned her, "Did you arrange for these people to be here?"

Indeed, she had arranged for these people to be there, and her motives were not pure.

But how could she admit that to others?

Of course, she wouldn’t confess.

However...

There’s a saying that goes, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating."

Shi Yiqing’s denial was countered by the male reporter from before.

"You did pay us an appearance fee, that’s true, but we never agreed to give up halfway!"

"We’re paid to do a job, and since we’ve taken the money, we must see the job through!"

Shi Yiqing’s face turned an ashen color, "I don’t need you to continue, don’t any of you listen to me?"

The crowd unanimously showed their stance, unwilling to step back.

Even someone spoke up directly, "If you think our service isn’t satisfying enough for you, I’m willing to give you a refund."

Shi Yiqing could not help but roar, "What do I need your money for?"

"So you don’t want the money, does that mean our service satisfied you after all?"

"No!"

"What does ’no’ mean?"

"I’m not satisfied with your service at all."

Shi Yiqing pointed towards the main door, shouting, "All of you get out!"

"Tsk," the male reporter from before said, "That’s really not kind of you, considering the effort we’ve put into gathering this material... "

As he spoke, a lightbulb went off.

Shi Yiqing said to get out, but she didn’t say they had to leave the footage behind.

If they could keep what they had filmed then...

It seemed like leaving now wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

There were enough explosive and trending points.

Thinking this way, the crowd suddenly felt extremely pleased.

Shi Yiqing, too, belatedly realized what was happening and hurriedly added, "You can go, but leave behind what you’ve filmed!"

"Impossible!"

The male reporter flatly refused, "We filmed this exclusive scoop with our own effort, why should we give it up?"

"It is the material that you’ve filmed, but..."

"But what?"

The male reporter interrupted her continued words, rolling his eyes, "The explosive scoop we got with our effort, you think we’re going to delete it? No way!"

While he spoke, he also looked at Ling Qingxue with a curious tone, "Miss, what is your relationship with them?"

Ling Qingxue instinctively answered, "Acheng is my boyfriend."

Hearing this, the male reporter’s eyes suddenly burst with astonishing brightness.

Didn’t Shi Yiqing tell them to get out?

No problem, they would leave right now!

Scuttling out swiftly.

Why not seize this opportunity to pocket the benefits that this big scoop could bring, instead of wasting more time?

Shi Yiqing watched as the reporters suddenly rushed out the door en masse and immediately had a bad feeling in her heart.

Ling Qingxue also muttered to herself that this was bad.

Her figure had obviously been caught on camera by the reporters.

If they went back and edited any kind of ridiculous copy, wouldn’t she be...
