Chapter 118 The Villainous Female Supporting Character in a CEO Novel (12)
Qi's father tried calling several times without success. It wasn't until the next day, when he was nearly driven to madness, that Qi Huaijie finally answered. As soon as the call connected, Qi's father launched into a tirade, but Qi Huaijie remained completely unfazed.
"Haven't you checked your phone yet?!"
It turns out that after Qi Huaijie took Mingxi away yesterday, for some unknown reason, the two of them became very affectionate. Qi Huaijie only got his phone back today, and before he could even carefully read the messages on it, his father called.
"what's the message?"
After saying that, Qi Huaijie immediately went to check. The internet was full of discussions about what happened yesterday. Although the people who came yesterday were all prominent figures, the Qi family had been too high-profile before, so someone had quietly posted some videos of yesterday's scene online.
People are saying that the future head of the Qi family is a fool who can't judge people, and calling him an elite is an insult.
Qi Huaijie finally realized that Mingxi had orchestrated everything. No wonder she had been unusually enthusiastic towards him yesterday. Qi Huaijie smashed his phone away and immediately ordered someone to call Mingxi out, but she was nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, Lin Chuyun looked at Ji Ming, who had found her. Ji Ming had been standing outside the door all morning, and Lin's parents, having learned of what happened at the Qi family yesterday, had given Ji Ming no friendly treatment.
Previously, the Lin family had taken good care of Ji Ming because they had known each other since childhood. Unexpectedly, Ji Ming is now slandering Lin Chuyun without any investigation, and all for the sake of some inexplicable woman.
The Ji family found out, so they sent Ji Ming to apologize early in the morning. Ji Ming especially remembered the disappointed look Lin Chuyun gave him yesterday; he really shouldn't have said those things to her.
"What? What brings you here today?"
With no one else around, it was all so that Lin Chuyun could properly explain things to Ji Ming.
"Chu Yun... I'm sorry."
Lin Chuyun scoffed. He was only doing this because of pressure from his family, especially from Madam Ji. After all, he wasn't the only capable descendant of the Ji family. He'd heard that Chairman Ji had already arranged for another illegitimate son to join the family.
"If someone hadn't happened to take a picture, I might not have been able to explain myself even if I was in the right."
Ji Ming knew he shouldn't have accused Lin Chuyun without knowing anything, but in his eyes, Mingxi was truly a kind-hearted girl.
"I don't know Mingxi... she definitely didn't do it on purpose."
"Are you saying I deliberately let her fall into the water to frame me? Are you saying I deliberately let her spill red wine on my dress? Are you saying I deliberately made her cry so you could accuse me?!"
Lin Chuyun retorted without hesitation.
"In short, you were all foolish enough to be manipulated by someone you once looked down upon."
Ji Ming seemed to have been dealt a heavy blow; even his lips had turned pale. Lin Chuyun had kicked Ji Ming out of the Lin family.
"Ji Ming, you have to pay for what you've done."
Just after Ji Ming returned home, a video suddenly surfaced online. It showed someone publicly accusing Ji of driving while fatigued and hitting someone, but unexpectedly, Ji was falsely accused of "faking an accident."
"Mr. Lin, I've already sent the video out."
Wen Shule stood in front of Lin Chuyun. Yes, that person was Wen Shule. After she was knocked down, to avoid too many people gathering and being taken back by the Wen family, she had no choice but to drag herself away.
But now Lin Chuyun was prepared, toying with what was in her hand. Should we say Ji Ming was stupid? Or should we say he was stunned by Mingxi's righteous act, not even bothering to check what had happened afterward?
In Lin Chuyun's hand was the memory stick from Ji Ming's car's dashcam. The original owner of this body had been rendered powerless to resist because Ji Ming had secretly tampered with the car. It was unclear whether Ji Ming intended to kill the original owner or not, but this action completely extinguished the original owner's will to resist.
Lin Chuyun took the memory stick when Ji Ming wasn't looking. Just as Ji's team posted rumors online, Lin Chuyun sent out the contents of the memory stick.
The Ji family's statement suddenly seemed like a slap in the face, but fortunately, no one was seriously injured in this incident. In the end, the Ji family sent someone to give Wen Shule a large sum of money, stating that it was only for medical expenses and had no other meaning. Ji Ming was completely kicked out of the game and sent abroad.
But just as everyone was shocked by this, someone noticed that the person recorded on the dashcam was the very same person for whom the young master of the Qi family had recently offended his fiancée.
Qi Huaijie has been extremely anxious these past few days because the company's higher-ups are questioning his competence. Everyone can see that he had feelings for Mingxi before, but the only mistake he made was publicly humiliating his fiancée.
If this were true, his reputation would be greatly enhanced. Even if it were false, without evidence, everything could be explained. But coincidentally, there is evidence, and it was released immediately, and the person who released it is someone you can't afford to offend.
Moreover, the Cheng family also planned to start a small business here, and Qi Huaijie squandered this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now everyone knows that Qi Huaijie has poor judgment.
Qi Huaijie had finally found Mingxi after sending people to search for her, but when they arrived, she was gone again, so his men had to return.
"Mom and Dad, what do you mean?! How can a woman be the heir?!"
Lin Yuan didn't express his disbelief, after all, he felt that the tests his parents had given him were just a formality, and it was highly unlikely that a woman would actually inherit the Lin family business.
But now his parents want to send him abroad, and he understands perfectly well that they're sending him as far away as possible.
"What did you do?! Did you?! All I did was wrongly accuse you last time! Why are you being so petty?!"
Lin Yuan didn't point at Lin Chuyun sitting on the sofa as he spoke. Lin Chuyun remained calm; he couldn't cause any trouble now, he only knew how to rage helplessly here.
"shut up!"
Lin's father loudly stopped Lin Yuanwei from continuing his madness. How could he have given birth to such a brainless son? Couldn't he see that Lin Chuyun was involved in all of this?
"Dad, don't be fooled by her. She's just a woman who will eventually get married. Of course, it's best if we keep control of our family business!"
This time, it was Lin's mother's turn to be speechless. She had always treated her two children equally, thinking that even if they competed, it wouldn't damage their harmony. This time, Lin Chuyun's actions hadn't hurt the Lin family's reputation; on the contrary, they had brought the Lin family many benefits.
So the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became. However, she couldn't guarantee that Lin Chuyun wouldn't do anything else, which is why she sent Lin Yuanwei abroad. She didn't expect Lin Yuanwei to act like such a fool.
"Back when your dad and I were working hard together, I was a woman too. Do you think I wasn't capable?"
