Chapter 355: Chapter 356 She Won’t Discover Anything

After bidding farewell to Meng Wan’s family, He Jinxia walked towards the lounge, her mind fixated on the conversation they just had, with only one thought: the kindness of parents knows no bounds.

Regardless of whether Meng Wan’s family came knocking to persuade her to mediate, Jinxia did not wish for Meng Wan to continue staying in the JY girl group.

Only when the girl group fell apart could she seize the opportunity to take revenge on JY, Li Zimu, Zhang Yingru, and others who had previously harmed the original host, making them each experience the pain that the original host suffered.

Not every mistake can be erased with the passing of time.

Nor can every mistake be forgiven with a simple apology.

There’s a classic saying for this: If apologies were effective, what would we need the police for?

Handling things lightly, those who err would never realize that their mistakes could potentially lead to the snuffing out of a vibrant life.

Having returned to the lounge, all five mentors and the special guest were present. He Jinxia swept her gaze around and could not find Meng Wan.

She approached Li Zimu and asked, "Where’s Meng Wan?"

Li Zimu was sitting on the sofa, her head drooping as she stared at her fingers, seemingly lost in thought.

He Jinxia asked twice before she managed to bring Li Zimu back to reality.

Li Zimu looked up and, seeing He Jinxia, appeared startled, her body recoiling as she managed to squeeze out a strained smile, saying, "She just went to the restroom."

Observing her guilty demeanor, He Jinxia suddenly leaned forward slightly, their foreheads almost touching.

A hint of mockery surfaced in Jinxia’s eyes as she asked with a half-smile, "When did she come back? Has she been in the lounge the whole time?"

Li Zimu’s smile stiffened further, her hands behind her back clenched into fists as she said, "I don’t know when she returned either."

He Jinxia studied her, then stood up straight, distancing herself from Li Zimu.

Li Zimu felt a wave of relief wash over her and, seeing He Jinxia walking away, she hastily called out, "Jinxia!"

He Jinxia paused, turning her head to look at her with a smile, inquiring, "What’s the matter?"

Li Zimu found her smile unnerving once again.

With a forced smile on her face and her voice strained, she said, "You and Wanwan are really close."

He Jinxia chuckled softly, her words carrying a deeper meaning, "I’ve always been very close to her. After all, in the group, she was the only one who was genuinely kind to me."

Li Zimu’s heart skipped a beat, her facial expression changing in an instant.

"Jinxia." Meng Wan’s voice sounded from beside her, and He Jinxia looked up to find that she had arrived at her side at some point.

Meng Wan looked somewhat haggard, her eyes slightly red as if she had cried; the signs were subtle but noticeable upon closer inspection.

She said, "Jinxia, do you have time tonight? We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and I want to catch up with you."

Before He Jinxia could respond, Li Zimu stood up from the sofa and suggested with a smile, "Why don’t we have a get-together? Jinxia, we’ve all missed you since you left."

A moment of hesitation crossed Meng Wan’s face, but she ultimately held her peace.

He Jinxia glanced at Meng Wan, then at Li Zimu, her thoughts spinning. With a smile curving her lips, she beamed, "Sure."

Once the location for the evening gathering was set, He Jinxia sat down next to Yang Xingxin, sent a message to Luo You to report on her plans, and quietly waited for the competition to begin.

On the other side, Li Zimu stood up and headed into the bathroom, locking the door behind her as she went in.

She checked each stall to make sure no one was there, and then without hesitation, went to the corner to call Zhang Yingru with her phone.

"Hello?"

"Sister Zhang, what should we do? I think He Jinxia might have discovered something. Does she know what we did to her? I’m really scared. I can’t face her. She even asked Meng Wan out right in front of me. What is she trying to do, get information? Sister Zhang, what... what should I do..."

Li Zimu’s words tumbled out incoherently; she was genuinely terrified.

Ever since He Jinxia had success with her diet, she had become a changed person, her acting improved, she had better resources, and she no longer seemed foolish, her popularity was soaring...

If He Jinxia really wanted to settle scores with them, JY simply couldn’t handle it.

After listening to Li Zimu’s complaints, Zhang Yingru calmly responded, "You’re overthinking it. She’s just going to chat with Meng Wan. Meng Wan doesn’t know anything about those matters; there’s no way she can find out anything."

"Besides, we carried out those actions without anyone knowing. She hasn’t gone to the hospital for check-ups during the last few years with the group, what could she possibly find out? We’ve dealt with all the evidence; she won’t find anything."

Li Zimu bit her lip, "But, but it looks like she’s already found out."

"Looks like?"

Zhang Yingru raised her voice unconsciously, "A single ’looks like’ is enough to make you panic? Li Zimu, where’s the determination you had in front of me to bring JY to the top?!"

"It was my idea, but you were the one who did it. Once we started, there’s no turning back. Why weren’t you scared when you were drugging her?"

Zhang Yingru softened her tone, "It’s just a gathering, don’t panic. Otherwise, she won’t suspect anything but might start suspecting if she sees you like this. We don’t know anything, and neither does she."

Li Zimu took a deep breath, trying to push the fear out of her mind, "Okay, I got it."

"By the way, when He Jinxia invited Meng Wan, I told her to call JY over too. After the recording of the show, let’s ask the rest of the members to join as well."

Zhang Yingru responded with a "Hmm," her voice exuding calmness, "That’s right, no need to be scared. If troops come, we block them; if water comes, we cover it with earth. Let her investigate; she won’t find anything, and she can’t pin anything on JY."

On the other side, Luo You was in a meeting room at the company, holding the monthly meeting for Tonghua Entertainment agents, summarizing the development of the artists under their management, their agents’ performance, and plans for their talents, and so on.

When Luo You received the message from He Jinxia, he was looking over a PowerPoint presentation made by another agent, he took a sip of water from his water bottle.

At that moment, a message notification caused his phone screen to light up.

The message was brief, just one sentence, and Luo You glanced down to see it clearly.

His eyes widened, and he nearly sprayed out the water he hadn’t swallowed yet— "Cough, cough, cough!"

Luo You choked and began to cough violently.

The other agents turned to look at him.

Clutching his phone and still coughing, Luo You stood up and rushed out of the room.

Once the coughing subsided, he hastily entered the bathroom, locked the door, and made a call to He Jinxia.

The call connected shortly after, and without a second thought, Luo You asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Staff members were distributing dinner boxes in the break room amidst a bout of noise. He Jinxia awkwardly held the phone between her neck and face and, while grabbing a box of food, asked, "Plan to do what?"
