Chapter 819 - 819: Reach Out to Shen Xi
Letting out a resigned sigh, Gu Chun shook her head and continued, “But since
I’ve taken on this role, I have to be careful. So, I installed cameras in Gu Nings room a long time ago, and I know where the Gu family brothers hide all sorts of dirty things.”
Shen Xi nodded in understanding, realizing why Gu Chun had so many videos.
It was evident how terrifying Gu Ning had been before, or else Gu Chun would not have taken such precautions.
The two of them silently enjoyed their afternoon tea.
When Gu Chun returned to the Gu family, she went straight to Xia Chun’s room.
Xia Chun’s eyes were swollen from crying, and when she saw Gu Chun, her expression grew even more grim because the girl being tormented in the video was none other than Gu Chun herself.
She even suspected that Gu Chun might have leaked those videos, considering that Gu Chun had the motive and means to obtain them.
Gu Chun unexpectedly knelt in front of Xia Chun, crying, “Second Madam, you have to help me with this! That girl in the video is me. If anyone finds out, I’ll have no face to live.’
“Are you saying you didn’t release those videos?” Xia Chun asked tentatively, her eyes fixed on Gu Chun’s changing expression.
“Second Madam, what are you saying? How could it have been me? I still have my dignity,” Gu Chun sobbed.
Xia Chun could not discern the truth from Gu Chun’s demeanor and chose to put her suspicions on hold for now.
“l can’t help you, and I can’t even save Ah Ning. Those videos can’t be taken down either,” Xia Chun said with a heavy heart.
Wiping her tears, Xia Chun asked, “Second Madam, do you think it could be the work of Miss Shen Xi?”
“Shen Xi?” Xia Chun frowned. “Why do you say that?”
Gu Chun, still kneeling, raised her head slightly as if lost in thought. She said, “Before, the young miss was filming with Lu Lin. Shen Xi is Lu Lin’s little sister. She visited the set and had a conflict with our young miss. Later, I overheard Shen Xi saying she wanted to teach our young miss a lesson.”
Listening to Gu Chun’s words, Xia Chun began to consider this possibility.
“Second Madam, after this incident, I also tried to have those trending topics removed, but you know what they told me? Shen family’s young miss ordered them not to take them down. I’m afraid Shen Xi might interfere during young miss’s trial,” Gu Chun said, her eyes locked onto Xia Chun’s face.
Xia Chun’s expression grew anxious.
Gu Chun continued, “My mom and I won’t report the young miss. We just need to get those videos down and have the young miss tell everyone that the girl being bullied in the videos is someone else. Second Madam, I’m still young, and I want to get married someday. I don’t want this incident to come back to haunt me. I’d be too ashamed to face anyone.”
Xia Chun started to believe what Gu Chun was saying.
Since the incident had already occurred, minimizing the damage was the priority.
Smart girls, like Gu Chun, would seek to minimize harm as much as possible.
Moreover, Shen Xi was now the young miss of both the Shen and Lu families and indeed had the power to control whether those trending topics stayed online.
Gu Chun hesitated for a moment and then began to cry, “If only I could meet Miss Shen Xi. 1 would kneel and beg her to take down those videos and help young miss. This is just a case of intentional harm, nothing more than three years at most. But if Shen Xi gets involved, it could be ten years.”
Xia Chun stood up in a hurry upon hearing Gu Chun’s words.
No, she could not let her daughter rot in prison. She needed to talk to Shen Xi and clarify things.
Perhaps Shen Xi, out of gratitude for the eighteen years she had been raised, would spare Gu Ning?
Xia Chun’s hope rekindled, and she quickly groomed up and set off to find Shen Xi.
Gu Chun wiped her tears and then sent a message to Shen Xi.
Shen Xi glanced at her phone, smiled slightly, and headed to Sun Mings filming set.
Sun Ming handed a cup of milk tea to Shen Xi and sat down beside her, smiling, as she spoke, “You’ve been coming here quite often these days.”
Shen Xi also smiled, looked at the milk tea in her hand, and asked, “Didn’t you say you don’t like milk tea? And it looks like you made it yourself?”
“It’s my little brother. He’s been in contact with some girl lately and has been learning to make milk tea at home. He said the girl loved it. So, I’ve become his guinea pig,” Sun Ming replied with a smile that hinted at her helplessness..
