Chapter 318: Chapter 319: Femme Fatale (4)
Translator: 549690339 |
Lu Weixi casually refreshed her Weibo feed, where plenty of big Vs were enthusiastically writing about the grudges and disputes between the three branches of the Hanhai Qin Family. They mentioned how Qin Zhiyou lost his father at a young age, was oppressed by his uncle and aunt, and later struggled to regain his power. The posts were chock-full of photos as proof of various bad deeds done by the other party, such as today’s scene where Qin Zhimei was pointing and cursing at Qin Zhiyou.
Of course, when it comes to a wealthy family dispute, they didn’t forget to mention Ms. Bai. Qin Zhiyou was very cautious and controlled the discourse. He didn’t reveal Lu Weixi’s real name, and nobody knew that she was the chosen interior designer.
The struggle of the family and the gleaming halo of wealth instantly turned this from a social ethics drama into a romantic fiction.
Not only did Lu Weixi avoid being blamed, but she also emerged as the winner in life.
Lu Weixi looked at the supportive messages on her weibo and couldn’t help but smile: “Now I understand the importance of personal branding.”
In the past, Qin Zhiyou’s persona was always that of a playboy, but this time he was highlighted as a “patiently enduring hardships, dedicated to the company” role model. Even her association with Qin Zhiyou was depicted as a romantic “winning the beauty” story. There are now a legion of fangirls who no longer criticize him for being a flirt, but instead cry out “Marry someone like Qin Zhiyou”.
Ms. Bai, usually a discreet figure, is now in the limelight. To be liked by such two handsome guys, she must have something.
Qin Zhiyou didn’t say anything. His eyebrows were slightly raised and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Lu Weixi also felt a bit melancholic, “But, by bringing your disputes with your aunt and uncle into the open, won’t that affect you?”
If nothing else, she knew very well that Grandpa Qin absolutely detests seeing discord within the family. No matter the conflicts indoors, he expects harmony to prevail when stepping outside.
“No worries.” They had all disregarded their dignity, so what did it matter if he did too? Being cursed at by Qin Zhimei like that, he would be a fool not to fight back!
Neither Qin Zhimei nor Qin Zhizha were spared, and their reputation nosedived significantly, especially that of Qin Zhizha. His many secrets were exposed, and now he was as irritable as a lion.
He was more concerned about Lu Weixi: “What about you?”
Lu Weixi looked up at him.
“Why didn’t you retort when they were scolding you today?” He felt distressed watching her idly brandishing a pair of small scissors.
Lu Weixi replied calmly, “Because I lacked confidence.”
Although she was the one to draw the designs, she didn’t have any noteworthy previous projects, a Ph.D., or an advanced job title. It was only normal that she would be questioned.
But it didn’t matter. People with substance can always get by, no matter where they are. She played by the rules and let people talk for a moment, but in the future, she would make those who slandered her pay!
Qin Zhiyou gave her a deep look, then put his phone aside. Lu Weixi was dissatisfied: “I didn’t finish reading! Someone said I stirred up strife among brothers, calling me a ‘siren’!”
Qin Zhiyou cleared his throat, turned towards her, “Then I guess I’ll have to let you ‘play the siren’.”
The next day, Bai Changyou came to the Qin Family.
