Chapter 170: Cheating
Gu Shaoze's phone was always busy, and just when Ji Xincheng was about to call the hotel front desk, Qiu Shang's throat moved, and there were signs of waking up.
"Qiu Shang? Qiu Shang, can you hear me? Ji Xincheng hurriedly put down his phone and patted him on the shoulder again.
"Ahem......" Qiu Shang coughed dryly and gradually woke up.
After a moment of dazedness, Qiu Shang's eyes were focused, and he fell on Ji Xincheng's face with doubt, and then he sat up with his arms propped up, "Xincheng ......"
Ji Xincheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Qiu Shang, why are you lying here?" ”
"Lying here?" He followed Ji Xincheng's voice, and only after a while did he realize that he was indeed sitting on the carpet, he held his forehead, and his head hurt very much.
"Are you okay? What's uncomfortable? ”
Qiu Shang endured the pain and shook his head, looked at Ji Xincheng again, as if he had just remembered what was going on, and asked her with concern, "You have been here just now?" ”
"Get up and talk about it." Ji Xincheng helped Qiu Shang get up, watched him sit down on the sofa, and then said, "When I came in, I saw you lying on the ground, and it has been about ten minutes now." What's wrong with you, what's wrong? ”
Qiu Shang's face was not very good-looking, and he recalled: "Not long after I entered the hotel, someone called me and said that you were locked up in this room, and if you want to ensure your safety, let me come alone." ”
"Me?" Ji Xincheng was surprised.
"Yes," Qiu Shang lowered his eyes and continued, "The other party also said that someone was staring at me, tell me not to make a noise, otherwise you will be in danger." ”
Ji Xincheng swallowed his saliva and sat down on the sofa opposite Qiu Shang for a while, "Did you see anyone after you came in?" ”
"No, it was dark in the room, I didn't close the door, I was going to turn on the light, but suddenly someone sprayed me, I haven't smelled anything yet, and I don't remember what happened next."
Ji Xincheng opened his mouth slightly, and couldn't find his voice for a long time.
In other words, Qiu Shang was deceived here on the grounds of Ji Xincheng......
"Why are you so stupid, you believe what the other party says?"
"What if it's true?" Qiu Shang raised his hand and loosened his tie, and saw that Ji Xincheng was fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"I don't deserve this."
Qiu Shang saw that she was blindly blaming herself, her expression was no longer so serious, and after intentionally becoming relaxed, he said: "When I encounter this kind of thing, even if it is not you, any other senior who is cooperating, I will not hesitate to do so." Besides, you are still my idol, how can you be indifferent? ”
"It's obviously designed, what if they spray you with deadly poison?"
"That shouldn't be. If someone really wants to kill me, why use you as an excuse? There are so many reasons to lure me to a no-man's land, not in a crowded hotel. ”
The two glanced at each other, and it was not difficult to think of the true purpose of the person behind the design, and their faces changed.
Qiu Shang took the lead in getting up and going to open the door of the room, but found that the door had been locked from the outside, and no matter how much he pulled the doorknob, it was to no avail.
"These people are so hateful!"
Qiu Shang gasped angrily on the door, turned around, and looked at Ji Xincheng worriedly.
The reason why he was brought here under her pretext was to lock the two of them here, and now that the door is locked, Qiu Shang can guess which direction he will develop next almost without thinking.
The deception of the entertainment industry is more often carried out in such a quiet dark corner, Qiu Shang can't imagine who will treat Ji Xincheng like this.
"How did you get to this room?" He asked.
Ji Xincheng is the same as Qiu Shang, the two have the same guesses, although she is not flustered, but she can't say that she is very calm at this time.
"I saw the little girl who participated in the kidnapping of me before, followed her all the way upstairs, and saw her sneaking into this room, and I waited for her to come later." Ji Xincheng recalled, "She may have found me in the wine room and deliberately led me here." In this way, all these designs are aimed at me, Qiu Shang, this time I'm afraid I'm really going to involve you. ”
Qiu Shang listened to her still calm, and his expression couldn't help but relax, "What do you say is not involved, it seems that these people just want to ruin your reputation, nothing happened between us, what are you afraid of." ”
Ji Xincheng nodded, that's right, but what to do at this time, she had no clue for a while.
"Is Mr. Gu's phone unreachable?" Qiu Shang saw that she was always holding her mobile phone tightly in her hand, so he guessed.
Ji Xincheng was still calling three minutes ago, "I'm on the phone." ”
Qiu Shang was not surprised, "These people are probably arranged on your husband's side to make a long phone call to him." ”
Seeing that she was a little more uneasy when she heard this, Qiu Shang didn't say anything else, and the two began to think of countermeasures.
When Gu Shaoze was talking with the host of the cocktail party, he received a call from a local unfamiliar mobile phone number, he had no intention of answering, but after the other party rang, he sent him a text message: about the Gu brothers and Shang Xiaoyue.
He had to leave the party for a while and find a secluded corner to answer.
The call lasted about 30 minutes, and when he ended the call and walked back to the main hall of the reception in silence, he saw a group of media reporters rushing to the elevator, making a noise, probably discovering some major news.
Because the cocktail party was only chartered in the hotel lobby, and there were still guests in each room upstairs of the high-end hotel, Gu Shaoze only said that these people were going to shoot other people's scandals, so he didn't care much, and continued to walk into the hall, looking for Ji Xincheng.
Ji Xincheng hadn't found it yet, and the mobile phone in Gu Shaoze's hand rang again, this time it was Gu Chang.
Gu Shaoze stopped, his eyes fell on the screen and watched for two seconds before picking it up.
"What's going on with your wife?" Gu Chang split his head and covered his face, and threw over a question.
No matter how displeased Gu Shaoze was, he still asked him carefully, "What's the matter with Xincheng?" ”
"She was photographed dating the male star who had been rumored to have been rumored to be in the hotel, and they were all on the hot search!"
"When?"
"Right now!"
Gu Chang seemed to be full of anger, and his tone was very anxious, "If it weren't for my old classmates at the TV station who said hello to me, the local TV stations would be our family's peachy news right now!" ”
"Don't listen to the wind and rain!" Gu Shaoze frowned lightly, and said sharply: "Xincheng is with me at night, I brought her to this hotel to attend the cocktail party, can you give us a little basic respect and trust?!" ”
"Whether it's true or not, it's already having a negative impact on the group! I said a long time ago that she should stop filming after marriage, she doesn't have to be in the entertainment industry, and my Gu family can't afford to support a daughter-in-law! Since you insist on working, you must always be cautious in your words and deeds, the media is chaotic, and it is by no means that there is no wind that can stir up the waves! ”
This is very polite, Gu Shaoze took a deep breath, and then said to Gu Chang on the other end of the phone, "Don't worry, no matter how my woman is, I will take this responsibility, I dare not be like you, dare not do it, but what I have done must be pushed to the uncle!" ”
"You, what do you mean?"
"Someone called me today, using my ignorance of this matter, to give Xin Cheng a set, you know what I'm talking about!"
"Shaoze," Gu Chang lowered his voice on the other end of the phone for almost a second, "What do you know?" ”
"I know what I should know and what I shouldn't know!" Gu Shaoze said coldly, and Gu Chang's reaction made him sure that the person who called him today was not lying.
Gu Shaoze gritted his teeth and endured, and didn't care what Gu Chang wanted to say later, so he cut the line, and then went straight up to the second floor from the stairwell, while dialing Ji Xincheng's mobile phone.
The mobile phone was unanswered, Gu Shaoze thought of the bunch of reporters just now, and sped up his pace with a calm face.
Three steps and one step to the second floor, following the hustle and bustle, Gu Shaoze decisively chose the corridor on the left, when he saw Qiu Shang protecting Ji Xincheng desperately blocking the reporters around him to make a difficult path, he did not hesitate for even a second, strode forward with Qiu Shang, and brought Ji Xincheng out of the encirclement of reporters.
"It's Mr. Gu of Gu's Group! What does Mr. Gu think of today's incident? ”
"Mr. Gu, has your wife always maintained a relationship with Qiu Shang during marriage?"
"Would you choose to continue this marriage for the sake of the group?"
"What will you do with them?"
Gu Shaoze took off his suit jacket and hid Ji Xincheng almost entirely in his arms, but because of the large number of reporters, he couldn't walk a few steps at all, but fortunately, the security guard who Gu Shaoze had greeted earlier brought people to the scene, which allowed the three of them to smoothly return to the cocktail party area on the first floor from the safety exit.
The trio didn't stop until they were sure that there were no more cameras chasing after them.
Everything was as usual in the reception hall, they didn't have to worry about the reporter daring to break in, and the people attending the reception had probably not read the news that had just been pushed out on the page, and some walked past the three of them, and nodded and smiled with them as usual.
"Qiu Shang." Not far away, three or two directors and producers were gathering together to talk, and when they saw Qiu Shang, they waved to him again and again.
Qiu Shang, who had just calmed down from the panic, reacted a little sluggishly, the other party thought that he couldn't leave, a middle-aged man walked directly towards them, and Ji Xincheng said to him, "Don't worry, you go get busy." ”
Qiu Shang looked at Gu Shaoze, who had no expression on his face, but he didn't have the usual rejection, so he nodded, and when he turned around, he happened to stop the middle-aged man, although the other party had been greeting Ji Xincheng and Gu Shaoze, "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, good evening for the two of you......"
Ji Xincheng just smiled at the other party to show politeness.
"It's not what they say it is." As soon as Qiu Shang left, Ji Xincheng turned around and said to Gu Shaoze.
"I know," Gu Shaoze straightened Ji Xincheng's suit to make her look like she was running away, and then hugged her into his arms, "Don't cry." ”
Ji Xincheng saw that he was not angry, and he still had this look of understanding, but his eyes were only slightly red, and he quickly burst into tears when he said this.
"Don't cry, they're all looking at us." Gu Shaoze hugged her shoulders and whispered in her ear: "Aren't you afraid that those people will write for a while: Mrs. Gu's derailment was broken and cried and begged to turn back?" ”
Listening to his tone, there was still a faint smile, Ji Xincheng left his arms in surprise, stared at Gu Shaoze and said, "You can still joke?" ”
Sure enough, he was already smiling and looked at her affectionately, "Why can't you?" My wife wasn't really cheating. ”
Ji Xincheng was obviously moved by his unconditional trust and tolerance, but the tears seemed to be against her, and they were endless.
Gu Shaoze only said that she was really wronged, and was busy begging for mercy, "Okay, no joke." Let's go, let's go home first. ”
"It's only been a short time since the reception began."
"Who said I was going to be with them the whole time?"
"Why don't you let the driver take me back first?" She didn't want to affect his itinerary, Ji Xincheng had seen the guest list at this cocktail party, and such a high-level cocktail party could not be organized at any time.
"Obedient." Gu Shaoze didn't explain much to her this time, led her directly from the special elevator to the underground parking lot, asked the driver to get off work first, and he personally drove her home.
On the way, Ji Xincheng received a call from the studio team, and her own people naturally believed her, and after confirming with her many clues that she was framed, they had already started to contact the lawyer, but even so, Ji Xincheng could not rest assured. After all, fake news has been famous for being ugly and has been on the hot search and entered the public eye, no matter what the final result of the lawsuit is, the appearance of the current 'scandal' about her has undoubtedly brought a lot of negative impact to the new drama she participated in and Gu Shaoze's company.
Thinking of the hard work of people who may have caused so much effort to be in vain, Ji Xincheng felt tired and powerless.
"Xiaofei, my phone is going to run out of battery, and it will take a while to get home, let's take care of it with all your powers, the crew, I will contact the director personally."
In fact, you can charge your mobile phone in the car, Ji Xincheng just wants to be quiet during this time in the car, and the mobile phone with one percent of the remaining power is also very cooperative to turn off the phone with a black screen when the next call from an unfamiliar number comes.
After that, she didn't say a word, sullenly leaned against the car window, watching the night view of the city flying by outside the window.
Gu Shaoze seems to have never seen such a depressed Ji Xincheng, whether she was angry or sad in the past, she was not as lifeless as she is now.
He finally asked about the evening, "Are you afraid that I will misunderstand?" ”
couldn't wait for her to speak out, Gu Shaoze had already said to himself: "Don't worry, how can I believe such a pediatric trick." Even if I hadn't brought you to the reception today, I wouldn't have believed that they had designed this play for you in my absence. Wife, I always believe in you, you know? ”
He carefully thought about his words, carefully trying to make her understand his mind.
Ji Xincheng turned her head to look at the man beside her who treated her so solemnly, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she nodded for a long time.
She didn't want to make a bitter face upset him, but at the moment she just couldn't cheer up.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find out the person who framed you tonight."
