Chapter 2 - The Movie Queen's Domineering Fan (2)




After Xu Zifan hung up the phone, he took out the phone card and threw it into the garbage bin, looking at the direction of the bar from a distance he hooked up his lip in an angle.
In the bar, Baiyou and Adam were running around in a panic. Baiyou found the other party turned off the phone when she called Qiao Zixin, and her heart welled up in a burst of fear. The feeling of losing control made people fluster.
“Adam, who did you talk to? How can anyone know about this matter and find the right box?”(please support us by reading at Translateindo)
Adam leaned against the door and said, “I didn’t mention it to anyone. I’m not that stupid!”
The two were discussing the matter when the door was suddenly banged loudly, “It’s the police, we came for inspection, open the door!”
Adam uttered a low curse and opened the door without any trouble. Baiyou couldn’t stop it, she turned white with fear. As a frequent ‘user’, the most terrifying thing for her is to meet the police. She thought that she didn’t bring anything, she didn’t bring any with her today, so she managed to calm down and grabbed her bag to make herself less nervous.
The police checked their ID cards, and when he saw that the woman’s name was Baiyou, he immediately winked at his colleagues. A few people who followed quickly searched the balcony and shouted loudly when they found the sofa: “Chief, we found something!”
Several people looked at it in an instant. When they saw the small bag stained with unknown powder. Baiyou almost fell to the ground with her legs going soft, “this is not mine! I really don’t know why there’s such a thing!”
The police collected the small bag as evidence and said coldly, “All right, someone has reported that you are dr*g dealing here. If there is any problem, come with us and we will sort it out.”
Adam didn’t understand what they meant until now. He immediately struggled, saying he was framed. However, according to what he saw and the contents of the phone report, they had to go to the police station to be investigated. It was useless to say that he was framed.
At this time, some reporters arrived at the bar and saw the police, so they didn’t dare to come forward. They turned off the flash and secretly took photos, but they felt it was wrong. Didn’t they say there was a scandal about Qiao Zixin? Why is Qiao Zixin’s best friend and a male model caught? You can’t even see Qiao Zixin’s shadow.(please support us by reading at Translateindo)
Hearing them shouting ‘no dr*g dealing’ the reporters looked at each other and filmed the whole process of their capture and removal. They didn’t want to waste the trip here. At least Baiyou is connected to Qiao Zixin. This will remind people of Qiao Zixin, if the best friend is really doing dr*gs, this would rub off on her too.
The reporters went back to work overtime, to report the things here. They tried to exaggerate the content to attract attention. Since the beginning, they were the ‘bad media’ selected by Baiyou, so they wouldn’t be merciful this time.
 
Everything was going as Xu Zifan expected, and he also brought Qiao Zixin back home smoothly. He gently put Qiao Zixin on the second bed. Qiao Zixin uttered a few vague whispers and her eyebrows slightly puckered. She seemed very uncomfortable. Xu Zifan didn’t take off her coat. Instead, he fastened all the buttons on her coat, covered her with a quilt, and said softly in her ear, “Go to sleep. There’s nothing wrong. Don’t be afraid.”
Qiao Zixin didn’t know why she was appeased by his pleasant voice. Her eyebrows gradually loosen, and slept deeply.
Xu Zifan took a bath, changed into household clothes and went to the kitchen to cook some sobering soup. He learned this when he was still busy with business and entertainment. At that time, his family was poor, and he didn’t want to have a splitting headache every time he socialized. He learned to cook it himself. After a long time, the sobering soup was delicious and effective. Fortunately, he never forgot anything and remembers everything he learned. Even after several worlds, he was not unfamiliar with it.(please support us by reading at Translateindo)
Half an hour later, Xu Zifan gently fed Qiao Zixin sobering soup. Qiao Zixin was so drunk that she drank the soup without even seeing who he was. Xu Zifan shook his head and closed the door. He went back to his room and turned on the computer to start browsing the stock market. How could you make a comeback without money?
Time flies when you do something seriously. Xu Zifan had just selected some good stocks suitable for short-term speculation when he heard the door next door opening.  He looked at the time. It was 5 o’clock in the morning.
(TNote: As it relates to the stock market,’ speculation’ is the anticipation of future price movement based on a belief the market has inaccurately priced the stock. Speculative trades have an especially high impact within financial markets.)
He got up and went out. Qiao Zixin looked at him with surprise. “Who are you? Why am I here? What about Baiyou?”
She subconsciously held her arms and took two steps back. Then she remembered that she was dressed in a neat and tight overcoat, her body relaxed.
Xu Zifan pointed to the toiletries on the cabinet, showing a gentle and harmless smile, “this is a new one bought yesterday. Wash first, and sit down later.”(please support us by reading at Translateindo)
Qiao Zixin looked at him a few times, hesitated for a moment then went to wash first. When she came out, Xu Zifan had made bacon, omelet, toast and hot milk, which was her favorite breakfast. This made her feel strange. She couldn’t help but ask again, “what about my friend? Why am I here?”
Xu Zifan sat opposite her; looked at her and said, “Miss Qiao, my name is Xu Zifan. This is my home. Yesterday, I happened to know that Baiyou wanted to scheme against you, so I went to the Blue Tone bar and pretended to be a conspirator with Baiyou and rescued you. At that time, you were so drunk that you were unconscious. I didn’t know who you can trust. I could only bring you back first. If I offended you, I hope you can understand.”
Qiao Zixin frowned. “Baiyou scheming against me? How is that possible? Why is she scheming on me?”
“This is the recording and this morning’s news.” Xu Zifan handed over the mobile phone and the tablet, thinking that no matter how much he said, it was better to let her listen and watch for herself.
Qiao Zixin scrolls on the tablet quickly. She and Baiyou are neighbors who grew up together. The relationship between them has been getting better and better in the past two years. Even if the photos taken in the bar are a little fuzzy, she can recognize Baiyou at a glance. The news said that Baiyou was caught doing dr*gs. The evidence was conclusive. The man who was suspected of dealing with Baiyou was also stripped of his identity. He was Adam, a minor-celebrity male model. In the end, the news also alluded to her being the same as them. Otherwise, how could they have such a good relationship?
A lot of comments were lamenting the chaos in the entertainment circle, but more are scolding her, as if they saw her doing dr*gs with their own eyes.
Qiao Zixin looked at box 102 in the photo and had a bad feeling in her heart. Is it true that Baiyou tried to frame her? Set her up for dr*g dealing?  She saw the cell phone beside her and immediately clicked on the recording.
“Are you Adam? You came early…”
“30 thousand yuan for her first night …”
“When the time comes you insist that you were threatened by her, maybe you can get sympathy fans…”(please support us by reading at Translateindo)
Qiao Zixin listened to her friend’s voice in disbelief. Her whole body trembled with anger at the vicious words. What’s wrong with her? Why is she hurting her? Even knowing that she was conservative to the bones, she wanted to find a man to destroy her! Looking at the background of the photos taken by reporters in the news, it is not hard to imagine how indecent the photos would have been; had it not been for Xu Zifan. If that ever happens, she wouldn’t be able to wash away the stains.
After her boyfriend, company and agent betrayed her; her best friend stabbed her in the back. Qiao Zixin’s strength, which she had been holding up; suddenly crumbled.  She holds her head to block her eyes and stares at the desktop. She doesn’t want to let her tears fall down or let others see her vulnerability, but the tears still uncontrollably fell on the desktop.
Xu Zhu took a box of tissue paper and put it in front of her, whispering: “you didn’t do anything wrong, they are wrong.”
Qiao Zixin tried her best to suppress her emotions and her mind was blank. Hearing this sentence of approval, she could not help but vent, “Am I such a failure? Why did they all betray me? I have not wronged anyone. Why should I be scolded? I am not a mistress, didn’t use rich people, didn’t bully new people, didn’t sleep my way up the chain … I didn’t do these things! Clearly it was Lin Yan who cheated with Liu Jie. They poured dirty water on me. Why doesn’t anyone believe me?!”
 (TNote: the Jie [洁] in the name ‘Liu Jie’ does not mean older sister ‘jie’ [姐]. It means ‘clean/pure’.)
“I believe you. “(please support us by reading at Translateindo)
A very; very light voice, but it was like salvation for Qiao Zixin, she looked up tearfully and looked at Xu Zifan with some confusion. “Why do you believe me?”
Xu Zifan nodded and looked at her firmly. “I believe you, even if the world doesn’t believe you, I would still believe you.”
Qiao Zixin’s grief seems to have been broken, it no longer drowned her as before. She asked uncertainly, “Do you really believe me? Believe I didn’t do those things?”
“I believe. You don’t have to pay attention to the rhythm of the online water army, the truth will come out one day. As for those who betray you, it seems to me that this is a good thing. You are able to see their character sooner.”
(Water Army = an army of paid forum posters.)
Qiao Zixin dazed, smiled wryly. Suddenly, she confessed, “even my parents don’t believe me. They think that I’ve changed my temper after becoming popular. Otherwise, how could the company give up on me? What’s worse, I can’t get the evidence to clean the stain and find a way out.”
She leaned back in her chair and looked up at the ceiling. Her voice became very light. “When I was in a beautiful place, there were people all around me who flattered me. When I fell, there was no one around me. Only one person who doesn’t know me said he believes me. I was really stupid and blind … Now I have nothing, nothing …”(please support us by reading at Translateindo)
No one to rely on, cyberbullying and no hope of turning over. Especially when both biological parents have doubts, Qiao Zixin ended up suffering from depression. After suffering for two years, she jumped off a roof and ended her life at the age of 25.
She is not weak, she was just overwhelmed by consecutive horrible things beating her down continuously. If someone is willing to give her a hand at this time, she will certainly be able to stand up, instead of suffering from depression, uncontrollable collapse, and suicide.
Xu Zifan looked at the person he should save in this life, with convincing force in his voice, “I will let you return to the peak and let all those who betrayed you regret hurting you.”
Qiao Zixin blinked and felt like she was hearing voices. She looked at him in astonishment and was shocked by his conviction. At the same time, she calmed down, thought of the most important problem and squinted warily. “We don’t know each other, why do you want to help me? Who the hell are you?”(please support us by reading at Translateindo)
Xu Zifan bent his mouth and looked at her intently, “I am your fan, the most loyal fan. ”
