Chapter 3 - The Movie Queen's Domineering Fan (3)

Qiao Zixin does not believe Xu Zifan is a fan of hers. There isn’t even one picture of her in this house. But besides this reason, is there any other reasonable explanation? Maybe Xu Zifan is the one who wants to harm her? But all he had to do is leave her in the Blue Tone bar last night to ruin her reputation. Even if he wanted to take advantage of her, he didn’t have to wait this long.

She has nothing to covet. Apart from a fan caring for an idol, she can’t think of any other purpose that Xu Zifan might have; to make him spend so much time and effort on her.

Xu Zifan tested the temperature of the cup, pushed the milk over and interrupted her thoughts. “Eat something. You drank so much wine yesterday, you would get sick on an empty stomach.”

Qiao Zixin looked at her favorite breakfast and was a little convinced that he really was her loyal fan. The company set her up as a pure girl, gentle and simple, loves cooking porridge and dishes, with no aggressiveness. Few people knew that she likes to eat western-style breakfast. It is very hard to find this information!

Qiao Zixin smiled at Xu Zifan. “Thank you, sorry to trouble you.”

“No trouble. You eat slowly, I’ll take care of some things. Call me if there is anything.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Xu Zifan got up and made himself a cup of black coffee, went back to the computer and began to inquire about the price of his two stores. The original owner’s parents were businessmen and had a small business, they bought the two stores early and they were in good locations. Later, the prices of houses in Yanjing went up sharply and the stores were naturally valuable.

After researching it for a while, Xu Zifan understood it well and selected several reliable real estate agents to contact during working hours.

He did almost everything he could do after coming to this world. Xu Zifan stretched his body, drank the black coffee, turned off the computer and took a bath. When he looked in the mirror, Xu Zifan’s long hair was blocking his eyes and decided to take time to get a nice haircut. As far as his knowledge of the entertainment circle is concerned, a good face can probably attract a large number of fans, so he had to pay attention to it.

He changed his clothes. When he came out, he was surprised to see Qiao Zixin washing dishes in the kitchen. The information he knew was that Qiao Zixin hated the kitchen the most. He quickly walked over and said, “let me wash it.”

Qiao Zixin looked up and smiled at him, “I’ll wash it, as a thank you for saving me. I am quite down and out now. I don’t know how to repay you. I can still wash a bowl. Xu Zifan, when I get back on my feet, I will repay you well.”

Xu Zifan smiled, “Don’t think too much, I’m glad I can help you. By the way, what are your plans? I read on the news that you paid out a lot for the penalty on the breach of contract, even liquidated the house, is it true?”

Qiao Zixin’s face froze and she nodded slightly. “It’s true. Xingchen Entertainment rescinded their contract with me. My film contract and advertisement contract have all disappeared. They said that I am now covered with stains and that it had a great impact on them. So, I have to compensate them for their losses.” She put the dishes away, wiped her hands and turned to face Xu Zifan, pretending to be strong. “It’s okay, I can rent a house. That… Is my bag with you?”

“Yes, I turned off your cell phone. I’ll get it for you.” Xu Zifan went back to her room and brought out her purse. They sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Qiao Zixin quickly took out her mobile phone and turned it on. There were 28 missed calls, 1 from her agent, 8 from Baiyou, and the rest were from her parents. She also received dozens of WeChat and text messages.

The agent warned her not to bring trouble to the company. But she and the company had already terminated their contract. Don’t talk nonsense! Baiyou first questioned where she was, then scolded her and then asked her to go to the police station to bail her out. Her parents said that they are worried about her. They asked if everything online was real, and how could she get involved with dr*gs?!

Qiao Zixin frowned and called her mother. Xu Zifan went back to the bedroom and closed the door. Qiao Zixin looked at the door in a trance, but her body relaxed. Xu Zifan’s silent consideration gave her a warm feeling in her heart. Still, someone cared about her and her feelings. She can’t fall now!

When the phone was connected, Mother Qiao spoke urgently, “Xin Xin, why was your phone off? What’s going on in the news? Is Baiyou really arrested? Are you, all right?”

Qiao Zixin answered, “I’m fine. I’m at my friend’s house now. Mom, don’t worry, it’s okay. Baiyou doing dr*gs has nothing to do with me. The news online is all fake.”

“Is it really fake? The last time you told me this was fake, you got expelled from the company! What are you doing in Yanjing? I told you not to be an actress, but you wouldn’t listen. You said that you’re all right, but why are you giving all your money to others? So many people on the Internet are scolding you, are they all fake?”

Qiao Zixin bit her lips and leaned against the sofa with a wry smile. “Mom, no one can say for sure whether the entertainment news is real or not. I was hurt this time. I was stupid and not careful enough. But those on the Internet are all rumors. Don’t you know my character? I swear, I didn’t do those bad things, Mom, believe me. What would I do if even you don’t believe me?”

“You brat, forget it, I won’t ask. Come back and stay at home. Your Second Aunt said that her office lacks an office assistant, with a monthly salary of 3000 yuan. If you do your job well, you would get a raise. There are a lot of salesmen in her company. They all have houses and cars. It’s convenient for you to find someone. Don’t stay in the entertainment business. What have you been doing all these years? Now, I’m too embarrassed to even greet my neighbor when I go out with your father. Can’t I just live a normal life?”

Qiao Zixin covered her eyes with her hand. She thought she would cry, but she didn’t. Maybe because of Xu Zifan’s trust in her, she no longer felt helpless. This time, hearing her mother’s nagging didn’t make her sad and disappointed as she imagined. She could hear that her mother was angry that she didn’t listen to her and insisted on becoming an actress; and that she shamed the family. Perhaps it’s the deep responsibility of family love, but right now, she only wanted a little support.

Qiao Zixin took a deep breath and smiled, “Mom, it’s too exaggerated to reach that point. Don’t worry, I’m sure I can turn things around and not embarrass you and Dad. Okay, I have something else to do here. Let’s not talk about it. Mom, relax and wait for the news.”

“Why are you so disobedient? Are you happy seeing your father and me suffer?”

“Mom, what are you saying? I’m really fine, these things will soon blow over, don’t worry.”

Qiao Zixin soothed Mother Qiao for a while and finally hung up the phone. She didn’t get the support she wanted from her mother, and only felt deeply tired after calling.

The phone rang as soon as it was put down. She picked it up and found it was Baiyou. Her eyes suddenly turned cold. “Hello?”

“Zixin! You finally answered the phone! Where were you last night? I was caught by the police, come and bail me out!”

“I’m coming.” Qiao Zixin gritted her teeth and clenched her fist. She has to ask Baiyou face to face. Why did she do this to her?

“That’s good, then come quickly, I’ll wait for you! Remember to call a lawyer!” Baiyou had a cheerful voice and hung up the phone.

Qiao Zixin looked at Xu Zifan’s cell phone on the table, got up and knocked on Xu Zifan’s door. “Xu Zifan, can you send me the recording?”

Xu Zifan opened the door and saw her carrying her bag. He asked, “are you going to the police station to confront Baiyou?”

Qiao Zixin nodded, “I have to ask her clearly. I’ve always been good to her, why does she want to harm me? For money? How much have I given her? And now that I’m out of money, she was going to sell me?”

Qiao Zixin remembered the 30,000-yuan price for her ‘first night’ mentioned in the recording and immediately stopped and turned away shamefully.

Xu Zifan took his car keys and said, “Let’s go, I’ll go with you.”

“Ah? No, I’ve already troubled you too much. I’m sorry… ”

“It doesn’t matter, you don’t have someone to trust right now and no car. You can’t go out without being watched. It would be even more troublesome if someone took another picture and posted it on the Internet. In fact, you don’t have a place to live, just live here. I’m the only one in this house. I’ll rent the second room to you.” Xu Zifan looked down at her with a smile, “just consider it satisfying a fan who wants to take care of you, okay?”

Qiao Zixin hesitated. She really didn’t know where to go and felt that she would be photographed anywhere she went. It seems safer than a hotel here. She was brought here last night and nobody found her, but she and Xu Zifan just met and she didn’t know anything about him…

Xu Zifan chuckled, “It’s okay, you slowly think about it, let’s go to the police station first.”

(if your NOT re$ding at Translateindo, this ch4pter has been stolen fr0m our s1te)

Xu Zifan drove the car. On the way, Qiao Zixin was wearing a big coat, glasses and a mask. On the way, she bought a suit to put on. Although she was tightly covered, you could meet all kinds of people in the big city; so, no one paid special attention to her. After arriving at the police station, Qiao Zixin subconsciously straightened her back. Even if she was down and out now, she didn’t want people to think she was weak!

Xu Zifan and Qiao Zixin recorded their confessions together. Xu Zifan said, “I’m Zixin’s friend. She’s afraid of getting drunk before going to the bar. So, she asked me to pick her up. I left as soon as I got her, and Baiyou said she was going out with other friends to play. I didn’t ask much because I didn’t know her that well. Did she really do dr*gs?”

The officer gave the written record to him for confirmation and signature, and said: “The plastic bag found in the box contained white flour, the kind you use to make steamed bread, not dr*gs. But Baiyou has been tested and was verified as a dr*g addict and cannot be released on bail. By the way, we received a call to arrest her. Was that you?”

Xu Zifan shook his head, “no. ”

The officer looked at him a few times, but it didn’t matter. The informer did a good job.

Qiao Zixin held her bag in his hands and asked in a low voice: “Can I see Baiyou? I want to ask her something.”

“Yes, she has been clamoring for a lawyer, is the lawyer here?”

Qiao Zixin spoke with a faint expression: “It’s wrong of her to take dr*gs. I won’t help her to get a lawyer. if she wants one, let her find one herself.”

The police officers also saw today’s news, and knew they were good friends. They were surprised to hear this from her, but didn’t say anything. After registering, they took them to visit Baiyou.

As soon as Baiyou sees Qiao Zixin, her eyes lit up, “Zixin! What took you so long? Can I get out now?”

Qiao Zixin sat in front of her and looked at her very carefully with no expression. Baiyou was so shocked by her that she frowned and said, “what are you looking at?”

Qiao Zixin sneered, “looking at what a poisonous and vicious woman looks like. Someone who could even harm a good childhood friend. Also, you didn’t treat me as a good friend at all, I didn’t really care about that. I’ll ask you, what did I do wrong? What did I do to make you do this to me? Did you do it yourself or did someone tell you to do it?”

Baiyou’s face changed. “What are you saying? I don’t understand. Did the man who took you away yesterday say anything? How could I harm you, what did he say?”

Qiao Zixin took out her mobile phone, clicked on the recording. After playing one sentence, she then put it away. This sentence alone is enough to make Baiyou understand!

Baiyou suddenly looked up and stared at Xu Zifan, bitterly saying, “it’s you! You impersonated Adam, didn’t you?!”
