Chapter 212 Shen Qingyue Receives a Reduced Sentence
Shen Chaohuai's smile held a hint of relief: "It's good that you've come to your senses."
Upon learning that Shen Chaohuai and Su Qi were not in that kind of relationship, everyone froze on the spot, and Lynn even dropped the celebration cake in her hand.
"No...they really didn't end up together?"
Lynn patted Su Qi on the shoulder: "You should have said so earlier! This is considered a scandal and rumor, which is bad for you!"
Su Qi's Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "I had my own selfish reasons for not wanting to deal with it back then."
"No matter how selfish you are, you can't joke around with your own reputation, you understand?"
Su Qi nodded.
At the same time, Shen Chaohuai asked his personal studio to release a statement clarifying his relationship with Su Qi.
@沈朝槐szh: Ms. Su Qi terminated her adoption relationship with the Shen family two years ago. I am currently the heir to the Shen family. My relationship with Ms. Su is currently that of friends. Please do not spread rumors.
@SuQi: Thank you Mr. Shen for helping to clarify. There is no truth to the claim that we married and had children while pretending to be adoptive siblings.
Su Qi produced evidence such as her personal household registration and hospital certificates.
[First floor: Who is spreading such vicious rumors? Just because Su Qi is a female celebrity, they're relentlessly smearing her?]
[Second floor: Seriously, you shippers should tone it down a bit. The haters are starting to spread rumors.]
[Third floor: I knew it! The two of them were definitely being used for a marketing ploy. Even legally, foster siblings aren't allowed to marry, so this is clearly fabricated dirt.]
At the same time, Su Qi posted another message.
@SuQi: Starting today, I will request the disbandment of the fan groups and supertopics related to my CP on my blog, and prohibit all online pairing and shipping. Please understand.
[First Floor: Supporting Xiao Qi!]
[Second Floor: Xiao Qi is now a well-known public figure, so she really needs to pay attention to her public image!]
Su Qi treated everyone equally, not only disbanding his own fan club, but also disbanding the fan clubs he had previously associated with Gu Xing and Li Yancheng.
He was overjoyed to see this and paced back and forth beside Xie Tian.
Xie Tian crossed his legs and scoffed, "You just think you've beaten them, don't you?"
“That’s one point, and there’s more…” Shen Chaohuai snatched the teapot from Xie Tian’s hand.
“She doesn’t do marketing with other people, so I won’t be called a mistress if I get close to her. It’s all legitimate and aboveboard.”
Xie Tian rolled his eyes: "You're not actually dating her, so why are you acting so righteous?"
"I'm in the prime of my career, so I shouldn't be in a relationship, lest it affect her," Shen Chaohuai said, looking down at her.
"Tsk, she didn't say that when she was the one doing the marketing for you."
He paused for a few seconds: "At that time, I didn't think too much about it, I just wanted to assert sovereignty."
"But then I thought about it, and we've never really confirmed the relationship, so what does it matter if we declare our ownership?" He laughed mockingly.
Xie Tian suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, Su Qi couldn't be so stupid as to not know what you're doing, right? So she agreed to you asserting your dominance..."
Xie Tian covered his mouth in surprise, somewhat unable to believe it.
It's hard to believe that Su Qi, that fierce and emotionless "killer," could actually fall in love with Shen Chaohuai.
"What's wrong? What happened to her? Tell me," Shen Chaohuai pressed.
"nothing."
"Say it!"
"It's really nothing!"
……
Su Qi fell asleep while reading a magazine, which landed directly on her face, making her feel like she was being suffocated by something pressing down on her.
He rolled over, grabbed the gun in his pocket, and before anyone could react, he fired.
"boom--"
Awakened by the gunshot, she looked down and saw that a bullet had pierced through her pants and made a hole in the sofa.
When she's not busy, Su Qi seems quite unreliable. She doesn't pay much attention to her image when relaxing alone, and Fei Fei is already used to it.
[Congratulations, host! Your status has been successfully promoted to that of a rising star, with a current national popularity of exactly 20.]
[You have disbanded all fan groups. The hidden quest triggered by the system has been successfully completed. Please note that the system is about to be upgraded.]
Ignoring the rotten sofa, Su Qi asked, "Upgrade?"
She looked at the "Special Abilities" section displayed on the screen; only one bar of battery remained unused out of five.
"So, this is the top-tier awakened ability that will appear later?"
[This is likely the case, but there are still potential triggers later on, so the master must pay close attention.]
Please save this file.
The screen displayed a message that the game needed to be saved, and Su Qi suddenly realized that he hadn't used the system's abilities for a long time.
In the early stages, she was basically able to survive in this world by borrowing Fei Fei's abilities, but now, she feels that something is increasingly wrong.
In other words, she doesn't actually need a certain ability to survive here?
So, what exactly was the purpose of creating this system for her?
"Feifei, you've helped me so much, what do you want?"
Feifei was stunned: [Why did Master ask that?]
"Helping each other is done with a purpose in mind, whether the purpose is good or bad."
"So, you're helping me because you have a task that will allow you to go home?"
Feifei shook her head: "Feifei's home is right here."
The little guy pointed at Su Qi, and his transparent little hand landed on her heart.
This is something I've known since birth.
Wherever my master goes, I will go.
Su Qi was somewhat touched after hearing this: "Okay, then it seems I was overthinking it."
After resting for a few minutes, Shen Chaohuai called.
"Hey."
"There's something I must tell you: Shen Qingyue has received a reduced sentence and will be released today."
"what?!"
Shen Chaohuai put one hand in his pocket and sighed softly, "As her nominal older brother, I have to go pick her up."
"You don't have to pretend to be kind." Su Qi's tone was clearly displeased.
"This is not something I can control. The media has already focused on me, and as her fiancé, Zheng Ran has to go pick her up and make a statement."
Su Qi seemed to understand his predicament. He had just been promoted and made a mistake at this crucial moment, making it even more difficult to start over later.
"Ok."
“If you’re really worried about me and afraid I’ll get hurt, you can come with me,” he said with a smile.
Su Qi blinked: "Who's worried about you?! I'm not going with you, and besides, she and I aren't even sisters!"
Clearly, he was just saying one thing and meaning another. Shen Chaohuai continued to probe, "Aren't you afraid that she'll talk badly about you to me and I'll never talk to you again?"
"Well, it's normal for me to be good to my own sister, and I'm only being nice to you out of conscience," he said deliberately.
"Heartless!" Su Qi retorted angrily, "Fine, I'll go! Who's afraid of who?! Let me tell you, I'm not going because I'm worried about you!"
"Yes, that's because I was afraid that woman would steal me away from me."
"..."
Su Qi couldn't win an argument with him, so she could only swallow her anger.
"Don't worry, my sister only has you."
"..."
She nearly rolled her eyes to the sky. Who was being more indecent?!
Upon arriving at the Third Prison in the port city, where economic criminals are imprisoned, it remains to be seen why Shen Qingyue was assigned to such a place.
Su Qi guessed that Zheng Ran had used a method to make an exception and create the illusion of protecting Shen Qingyue.
"We meet again," Zheng Ran greeted him, "two big stars."
