Chapter 268: Chapter 269: You are nothing more than a dog kept by the Shen family for amusement!

Translator: 549690339

Xia Yangyang felt a hundred uncertainties, but had a thousand suspicions.

Why does it always happen so coincidentally?

Someone framed her for the necklace incident, and clearly, someone is taking advantage of this situation as well.

Xia Yangyang could faintly sense the existence of a manipulative hand behind all this, stirring up trouble from the shadows.

The first person Xia Yangyang thought of was Shen Manbing.

But firstly, Gu Qichen trusts her.

Secondly, how do you explain the incident with the obsessed fan? It can be argued that she framed Xia Yangyang for the necklace, but would Shen Manbing risk her own life just to create a gossip headline?

Considering the danger at the time, even the thug paid with his life.

It couldn’t have been arranged beforehand.

Xia Yangyang was very confused.

Yet, Xia Yangyang didn’t want her issues with Shen Manbing to cause a rift between her and Gu Qichen again.

Gu Qichen must have seen those news articles too.

He had been on the phone with his secretary early in the morning.

By afternoon, traditional media’s coverage of these issues had already been suppressed.

Yet, the noise on social media was still rampant.

This was something hard to control artificially.

The more you try to suppress it, the stronger the pushback.

Casual observers would think that you’re acting guilty, thus causing more damage than good.

Instead, it was Xia Yangyang who ended up comforting Gu Qichen, telling him not to take the rumours circulating online too seriously.

Given some time, the heat would naturally die down.

In the entertainment industry, there are countless news stories every day. After all, who really cares about the truth or falsehood, right from wrong, black and white?

However,

There are many things that Xia Yangyang wants to verify for herself.

So in the afternoon, Xia Yangyang went to the hospital.

She wanted to see if Shen Manbing was just pretending to be sick.

When it was just the two of them, she was certain that Shen Manbing would slip up.

Xia Yangyang went to the hospital ward.

This was a VIP ward.

As a famous figure, Shen Manbing was the only patient in the entire floor.

Security guards were posted at the entrance.

Recognizing Xia Yangyang as the woman who had brought Shen Manbing to the hospital yesterday with Gu Qichen, they allowed her to pass without issue.

The corridor was carpeted thickly, muffling Xia Yangyang’s footprints as she walked toward the hospital room.

Arriving at the ward, Xia Yangyang had intended to knock – but found the door already ajar.

Shen Manbing wasn’t alone in the room.

Also present was a wealthy-looking middle-aged woman in her forties. She was fashionably dressed and adorned with glimmering jewelry.

Xia Yangyang didn’t know who she was.

Once, Shen Shichuan had told Xia Yangyang that their parents died early in a plane crash, leaving them to rely on each other from a young age.

Seemingly out of nowhere, a catty voice arose from the woman.

“You’ve utterly disgraced the Shen Family. A distinguished family of literature for centuries, yet you’re a third-rate actress. You’re hardly the ‘Queen of Heaven’, merely a lowly attention-seeker on screen. Our Shen Family is truly unlucky to have adopted a wild horse like you.”

Shen Manbing, who was huddled in a corner of the bed, appeared to be at her limit, “Auntie, speaking with such coarseness hardly suits a woman of nobility, rather, it’s more reminiscent of a shrewish woman cursing in the streets.”

The flashy woman flew into a rage at Shen Manbing’s retort.

She took a step forward and slapped Shen Manbing across her face.

“Impudent girl, growing more audacious by the day, daring to talkback! It doesn’t matter that you’re a celebrated ‘Queen of Heaven’ outside. Here, in the Shen Family, you’re merely a dog we keep for amusement!”
