Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As soon as the reporters saw the old lady, they squeezed forward like crazy and clicked their camera shutters crazily. The people with video cameras began to record.

“You must be Master Qi Min. Is Shenqian your disciple?” “Master Qi Min, what do you think of Shenqian’s plagiarism?”

“Master Qi, regarding Shenqian…”

The reporters’ endless questions came one after another, not giving the old lady a chance to speak.

She raised her hand and interrupted, “I only have one sentence. Shenqian is my disciple. I believe she won’t plagiarize. That’s all.”

With that, she was about to close the door.

“Wait…” Someone held the door open to prevent her from closing it.

“If Shenqian really didn’t plagiarize, why didn’t she come out to clarify?”

“Now that the netizens all think that she plagiarized, why do you still believe her? Or did you already know?”

‘Who exactly is Shenqian? Why doesn’t she dare to show her face?”

“Master Qi, can you contact Shenqian and get her to come out and give the public an explanation?

Qi Min’s expression turned uglier and uglier. She wanted to close the door, but two people held it open and refused to let her close it.

She had never suffered such humiliation in her life. Just as she was about to flare up with a livid face—

“Why should I give an explanation to the public?”

A cold voice rang out. Everyone turned around at the same time and saw a woman standing with her back to the light.

She had a slender figure, and her graceful dress fluttered with her footsteps. There were men protecting her on both sides.

The people who originally congested the alley couldn’t help but make way.

Lin Qingqian walked towards Qi Min and entered everyone’s line of sight.

The reporters reacted and the magnesium lights in their hands flashed crazily. The microphones were about to reach out to her— “Are you Shenqian?”

“Don’t you need to say something about the plagiarism accusation?”

“Aren’t you letting down your fans by doing this?” “Shouldn’t you apologize to the person you plagiarized?”

The reporters’ words sounded endlessly, but unfortunately, Lin Qingqian did not answer a single question.

Standing in front of Qi Min, her beautiful features were filled with guilt. “I’m sorry, Master. I’ve disturbed you.”

Qi Min patted her shoulder. “Master trusts you.”

There was no reprimand. Instead, she firmly believed in her. This kind of master-disciple relationship was something others would not understand.

Lin Qingqian’s red lips curled up slightly as she turned her head and said, “Xiao

Bai, please accompany my master in to rest first.”

Han Liubai glanced at her before walking to Qi Min’s side. “Master Qi, I’ll help you in first.”

Qi Min was not at ease and looked at Lin Qingqian worriedly.

“Don’t worry, Master. I’ll handle it well. It’ll be fine.” Lin Qingqian comforted her softly.

Only then did Qi Min and Han Liubai enter first.

Lin Qingqian turned around to face all the reporters and media. She reached out to borrow a microphone from the nearest person and smiled. “Hello, everyone. I’m the person-in-charge of Shi Guang Studio, which is Shenqian on Weibo.”

When she spoke, someone immediately started a live-stream and pointed his cell phone at her.

“You’re Shenqian. What’s your response to the plagiarism accusation?”

Lin Qingqian glanced at the person who asked the question. “I didn’t plagiarize. The burden of proof is on the accuser. Do you need me to teach you such a simple thing?”

“But now, the netizens are all saying that you plagiarized.”

Lin Qingqian said calmly, “When did the internet become a courtroom, and netizens become judges? Have you ever sought legal approval for your actions?”

“But if you didn’t plagiarize, why didn’t you come out to clarify at the beginning?”

“I just returned from overseas and haven’t even figured out what’s going on. How can I clarify things?” Lin Qingqian’s bright eyes were clearly calm, but when they swept over, it immediately made the person who spoke feel pressured.

“Besides, did you eat my Weibo clarification?”

At first, everyone thought that she looked so delicate, weak, and harmless.

They thought that she was easy to bully and could be forced to tell the truth.

Who would have thought—

When they raised a question, she would retort. She even rebutted them in a reasonable and well-founded manner, making people unable to counterattack.

Lin Qingqian seemed to know that the man holding the cell phone was live-streaming. Her bright eyes looked directly at the camera of the cell phone.

Her voice was gentle. “I didn’t plagiarize. However, the Internet isn’t a lawless place. Shi Guang Studio’s lavvyer’s letter will be sent to that person who raised the accusation in time. Also, to the person who made the accusation, remember not to delete your post. I’ll wait to confront you.”

The netizens watching the live-stream were all convinced by her strength.

Flowers and Flowers: F*ck, Shenqian is so beautiful and strong. I love her.

July Boyfriend: With her looks, she can completely enter the entertainment industry. Moreover, she’s not a little white lotus. She’s so tough and really exciting!!!

Parking the car and sitting in the maple forest: Upon careful consideration, there isn’t even a single original manuscript for the posted content. How can anyone be so sure it’s plagiarism? It’s obvious that someone is deliberately defaming Shenqian.

In the hotpot: F*ck… It’s scary to think about it like that!

Not Sleeping Enough Every Day: Whose interest did she touch!

The comments were spammed crazily. From the moment people entered the chat, they started scolding until they gradually sobered up and began to believe that she really didn’t do it!

“Shenqian, are you saying that someone framed you? But why did the other party do this?”

Lin Qingqian: “A murderer has killed someone. Instead of asking the murderer, you’re asking the victim why he was killed?”

Lu Qinshang’s delicate wife: F*ck! She’s really interesting! Her answers to the questions are so funny!

Luo Tianxue is My Daughter: Hahahaha, I’m beginning to understand why my daughter loves her so much. I want to love her too.

Ren Guangxi’s baby: This great person helped my Big Brother walk out of the abyss. I believe she won’t plagiarize. I support her!

Wenwen, come into daddy’s arms. “I don’t think she will either. Otherwise, Wenwen definitely wouldn’t cooperate with her.”

In just ten minutes, the momentum on the Internet had completely changed.

The reporters at the event location were also rendered speechless by Lin Qingqian’s retort. Someone who did not give up continued to ask, “If you really didn’t plagiarize, why would someone accuse you of that! As the saying goes, flies can’t bite a seamless egg.”

Lin Qingqian was not angry at his aggressiveness at all. She smiled faintly and said, “I can’t do anything if you want to quibble and slander me now, but I think you’re so good at arguing. You shouldn’t be a reporter. You should work at a construction site.”

She was secretly scolding him for being a troll.

“I’ve said what I have to say. I’ll leave the rest to the lavvyer.”

Lin Qingqian looked around. She clearly looked like a weak and harmless woman, but she had an aura that couldn’t be underestimated.

“Please don’t harass my master anymore. Otherwise, the next time you come, it won’t be me you see, but the police.”

With that, she returned the microphone to the reporter and turned to walk into the house.

The reporters wanted to follow her in, but Chen Mu stood at the door and stopped everyone.

Lin Qingqian walked into the house and saw her master drinking tea with Xiao Bai. “Master…’

Qi Min looked up at her. As she poured her tea, she asked, “Is it resolved?”

Lin Qingqian nodded. “More or less. It’s just that I implicated Master and caused you to be disturbed. It’s my fault. I should have dealt with it earlier.”

She thought that the reporters and netizens would only chase after her and scold her. She didn’t expect them to come to her master’s side.

“It’s fine if I’m disturbed. It’s just that you’ve been splashed with dirty water. If you don’t handle it well, it’ll be a stain for the rest of your life,” Qi Min said worriedly.

“Master.” Lin Qingqian held her teacup and looked at her quietly, her voice gentle. “The current time is different from your era.”

“This is the Internet era, and the Internet has no memories.” Her red lips curved slightly in a mocking smile. It was unknown if she was mocking herself or this era.

“No one cares what the truth is. They only care about what they want to see. They spread it by word of mouth. As long as enough people say it, they will believe that it’s true!

They won’t care about the impact their words will have on others. They only care about venting their emotions. Then, when something else happens, they’ll forget and continue to stir up trouble in the next wave of public opinion.”

Although Qi Min didn’t go online, the Internet had developed too quickly in the past few years. There were all kinds of news, internet bullying, and so on. Even an old woman like her had heard of it.

Two years ago, a female celebrity with the surname Nan committed suicide because of online violence.

It was as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart, and she couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

Lin Qingqian reached out to hold her hand. “Master, in this era, it’s already impossible for us to maintain an absolutely clean reputation. The only thing we can do is to protect our hearts.”

Qi Min nodded and grabbed her hand. She said in relief, “You did better than Master expected.”

Lin Qingqian smiled. “Of course. I’m Master’s disciple. The student surpasses the master.”

Qi Min was amused by her.

Lin Qingqian took out a document from her bag and handed it to her.

Qi Min took it but didn’t open it. “What is it?”

“I’ll take 10% of the rental contract and the fees for each loan. The rest will be stored in the card. The password is Master’s birthday.”

Qi Min’s expression instantly changed as she scolded with a cold expression,

“What are you doing?”

The document in her hand was thrown at Lin Qingqian’s body. The sharp edges poked her skin, causing her to frown in pain.

Qi Min sensed it and wanted to show her concern, but she couldn’t bring herself to do so.

Han Liubai, who had been silent the entire time, couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Director Lin, are you alright?”

Lin Qingqian shook her head.

Because of their awkward position, Han Liubai could not touch her. His gaze lingered for three seconds before looking away.

Lin Qingqian placed the document on the table and said respectfully, “Master, I know you don’t care about these worldly possessions, but I can’t take your work for my own just because you don’t care. I can’t take your kindness for granted.

You sewed every piece of those clothes yourself. Every piece is your blood, sweat, and tears. I can’t measure it with money, so I can only repay you by renting them.

You can do whatever you want with this money. I won’t take those clothes for myself. In the future… I’ll donate them in your name.”

Master’s works should not only exist in business, but should also be preserved and become the legacy of culture.

Qi Min looked at her serious expression and couldn’t help but sigh. “You child..

Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled. “Master, just treat it as your disciple’s filial piety.”

Qi Min’s gaze shifted from her face to the document. After thinking for a moment, she finally accepted it.

Lin Qingqian and Han Liubai sat for a while longer before getting up to leave.

Qi Min stood up and sent them to the door. Lin Qingqian didn’t let her send them off anymore and promised to come and see her when she was free.

After getting into the car, Lin Qingqian instructed Chen Mu to go back and inform the police officers here to not to let the reporters harass her master again.

Chen Mu nodded.

When they returned to the company, Suisui skipped over. “Qianqian, you’re too awesome! You made those stupid reporters speechless. Now, the netizens are all praising you.”

Lin Qingqian smiled faintly and didn’t take it to heart. “Inform the others to hold a meeting.”

Now that Shi Guang Studio was becoming more and more mature, there was no need for her to worry. It was time to prepare for the launch of her independent brand.

The cause was Luo Tianxue posting on Weibo to support Shenqian, followed by Lu Qinshang. The other celebrities who had worked with her also came out to support her. Even Ren Guangxi, who was in seclusion preparing his album, posted on Weibo to support Shenqian.

Luo Tianxue’s fans shouted, “I realized that as long as it involves Shenqian, my daughter can’t sit still and wants to be the first to rush out. For some reason, I feel like they’re a couple.”

Lu Qinshang’s fans were unconvinced. Isn’t my Big Brother the same? Every time something happens to Shenqian, he jumps out to protect her. He doesn’t hide anything at all. I don’t believe that there’s nothing fishy going on between my Big Brother and Shenqian.

Ren Guangxi’s fans: My brother has disappeared for so long and suddenly came out to protect Shenqian. If this isn’t love, I won’t believe in love anymore.

Hence, three groups of evil sects appeared on the Internet. Supporters of the Tianqian couple, Qinshang couple, and Qinxi couple.

The three evil sects did not submit to each other. Their respective fans felt that they had eaten real candy.

Shenqian’s fans: ???

Although there were also some fans who hated such couple pairing practices and scolded them, did the couple pairing fans care?

Who cares!!!

They each set up their own superfan clubs, cut the materials, and refined juicy content from the few materials.

Those not in the know couldn’t understand this move and scolded them for being crazy!

Couple pairing fans: You don’t understand how quickly a couple pairing works. What if it becomes real one day?

Luo Tianxue was speechless when she saw the hot comments in the comments section. I just want her to become my sister-in-law.

When Lu Qinshang saw his fans instigating him to chase after Lin Qingqian, he simply wanted to kneel down in front of them. Where are his promised girlfriend fans and wife fans?

Maple Leaves: F*ck, they’re so close. For the sake of our child’s happiness, we can only wish him happiness.

Lu Qinshang: …Thank you, everyone. If I go after Lin Qingqian, I’m afraid I won’t live past tomorrow.

Ren Guangxi continued to cultivate in seclusion after posting on Weibo and didn’t know what was happening online.

On the other hand, when Jiang Yanshen saw the trending topics on Weibo, his expression darkened. Even the meeting was interrupted and he asked the public relations department to deal with it.

He did not like Qianqian’s name to be associated with others, not even women.

The super topics of the cult couple pairing fans were immediately shut down due to violations, and several of the most fervent shippers’ Weibo accounts were bombarded with reports.

Everyone was puzzled. Which big boss had attacked? He was too ruthless.

The fans all guessed that it was Lu Qinshang. After all, he was rich and imposing. It didn’t matter if he closed their page down. They could still secretly build it again.

Lu Qinshang: Please, don’t mess with me. I don’t want to be banned!!!

Maple Leaves:

Couple pairing fans: ???

Shenqian’s fans: ??? They vaguely discovered a huge secret..
