Chapter 139 Ugly Duckling Substitute vs. A Ruthless and Ruthless CEO (62)
Qin Shen turned to look at her.
Her full, white forehead was within his reach; he could kiss it if he just leaned in.
A faint, delicate fragrance wafted towards his nostrils.
He narrowed his dark eyes and reached out to brush a few stray hairs from her forehead. "Because I don't know anything about childbirth. I've looked it up and know it's affected by hormones. I'm afraid... you'll end up like that too."
What does this have to do with her?
He Suining suddenly lifted her head from his arm and looked at him.
Suddenly I realized something.
Oh yes.
She is still Qin Shen's wife.
and many more.
Could it be that she was putting on an act in front of her grandmother, and everyone believed it, including Qin Shen?
No way.
[You scumbag woman, don't you like the main villain?]
“I do like him, he’s handsome and rich, and I’ve trained him quite well, so why wouldn’t I like him?” He Suining felt an inexplicable awkwardness. “But he’s never formally confessed to me, and our marriage was a contract from the beginning. If he doesn’t want to understand this, do you expect me to be with him without knowing why?”
She wouldn't say how well she knew Qin Shen.
Anyway, I know a little more than others.
Qin Shen figured he hadn't even considered whether he really liked her; he just wanted things to proceed naturally.
No.
Definitely not.
Qin Shen looked at He Suining's dazed expression and tapped her full forehead with his bent finger. "I can guarantee that you won't end up like my father, but I can't guarantee how the hormones will affect you. I hate things I can't control, so it's better not to have children."
"Anyway, I don't remember anything about my ancestors. Even if I have a child, he might not remember me a hundred years from now."
He Suining's mind was still preoccupied with how to get Qin Shen to confess his feelings to her.
I gave a perfunctory "uh-huh" response.
Qin Shen didn't notice anything, raised his arm, and pulled her into his embrace.
He finally kissed her forehead. "Thank you."
A sticky sound.
He Suining looked up, confused. "What are you thanking me for?"
Why did I thank her again?
Qin Shen didn't say anything, he just smiled.
Thank you for being in his life.
Thank you, she was like a ray of sunshine illuminating his dark side.
Qin Shen felt that he was cured.
Even if he's not feeling well now, as long as He Suining stays by his side, he will gradually get better.
*
A few days later.
The Angel Music finals began amidst great anticipation.
Zhong Yiqiao withdrew from the competition, but that doesn't stop her from continuing to follow the event.
When He Suining arrived backstage, she found a group of people gathered in the backstage lobby.
I just went up to take a look.
Suddenly, a girl rushed in shouting, "Holy crap, the police are here!"
"what?"
"Why are the police coming over?"
"Could it be because of the time Zhong Yiqiao got hit by the ball last time?"
"Wasn't that an accident?"
"who knows."
Several suspicious gazes fell upon He Suining.
She raised an eyebrow, looking at whoever was looking at her, and smiled at them, startling them into looking away.
next to.
A timid girl walked over, hesitant to speak, "Little... Little Nightingale."
He Suining turned her head to look.
She was the Diamond Girl, and she hadn't changed much from usual. She wore a sparkling diamond mask, but she was curled up in a ball, looking like a chick that could be stepped on at any moment.
"You come with me."
She roughly knew what the other person wanted to tell her, so she turned and left.
The girl with the diamond ring quickly followed.
When they reached the deserted corridor, He Suining peeked around to make sure no one was there, then closed the door. "Tell me, what happened to Zhong Yiqiao last time, was it you who did it?"
The girl with the diamond-studded hair lowered her head silently, nervously tapping her fingers.
He Suining waited patiently.
After a while, she didn't have to wait too long.
The girl with the diamond-studded shirt mustered her courage and spoke, her voice trembling with tears, "It was...it was me. She gave me the idea to harm you. But I think she's a bad person..."
“But you still did it.” He Suining exposed her without hesitation.
The girl with the diamond-like figure looked up at her, tears welling up in her red eyes. "I have no choice. My mother is sick and hospitalized, and it costs hundreds of thousands of yuan. And this is just the initial stage. My family is from the countryside, and I can't do anything except sing."
"I... I was thinking that what she said wasn't wrong. If one of you two can't compete, then I can at least guarantee second place. As long as I can get a contract and enter the entertainment industry, I can use the money from the first few rounds to treat my mother's illness, and I can work hard to earn the rest."
He Suining considered many possibilities.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Yiqiao ended up harming both herself and others.
She originally intended to exploit this girl's psychology to harm others, and in a sense, Zhong Yiqiao did succeed.
However, what she didn't expect was...
Although she wanted to be a diamond girl, she set her sights on Zhong Yiqiao.
"She...she's a bad person." The girl with the diamond in her eye tried to calm her racing heart and breathing. "I did the right thing, didn't I?"
"..."
He Suining sighed, "From a legal perspective, you are indeed wrong."
Diamond girls actually know deep down that...
But she dared not admit it, and even comforted herself that she had hurt bad people, that she hadn't done anything wrong, and that Zhong Yiqiao had only withdrawn from the competition and been hospitalized for a few days, and that she was fine.
"Will you... report me?"
He Suining turned and left, saying, "I don't know what you did."
She stood there, staring blankly as the little lark left.
After a while, she covered her face and burst into tears.
He Suining went out the door.
Seeing several police officers, both male and female, taking notes, and everyone seemingly having finished speaking, she suddenly appeared, quickly attracting the attention of the police.
A policewoman walked over.
The male police officer said something to her, and she nodded. Then he continued walking towards her, smiling, "Little Nightingale, is that right?"
"it's me."
The policewoman sat down with her on the sofa. "Don't be nervous, it's just a few questions."
He Suining smiled kindly, "I'm not nervous."
The policewoman was taken aback, then chuckled, "Okay, then I'll ask. I just asked a few contestants, and they all said that you and Zhong Yiqiao have a conflict."
She frowned slightly. "If they call normal competition a contradiction, then there is indeed a contradiction."
The policewoman was holding a notebook and writing and drawing in it.
He glanced up at her occasionally and asked, "Did you know Zhong Yiqiao before?"
He Suining's eyes flashed, and she lowered her voice, "I know him."
"You knew her before?"
"Ah."
He Suining didn't intend to hide this matter, "but she didn't know it was me, because she's quite famous and easy to recognize, everyone knows her, but she doesn't know me..."
She recounted the story of the original owner and Zhong Yiqiao.
Completed the record.
The policewoman nodded, carefully completed the statement, thanked her, and left.
He Suining saw the diamond girl talking to a male police officer, and then she left quickly.
"How about it?"
The male police officer looked at the female police officer.
The policewoman shrugged. "I overheard some gossip about a wealthy family. Captain Zhang, all the clues are pointing to this being an accident."
What do you think? "
Team Leader Zhang sighed, "The testimonies of these contestants don't seem to have any major problems. We just asked the props team, and they said there were no issues either. But what I find strange is that the rope used to tie the ball at the crime scene is missing, and that's the biggest problem."
The policewoman nodded thoughtfully. "The props team just said that they didn't notice at the time, and the cleaning lady accidentally swept it out with the trash."
"There's no way it's such a coincidence." Team Leader Zhang felt it couldn't be that much of a coincidence.
The policewoman also felt that, of all things, the only piece of evidence had disappeared, and a section of the surveillance footage was missing.
But there was no evidence, and they couldn't delay the competition, so they left quickly.
The police left.
He Suining had been noticing the expressions on the police officers' faces. She got up and casually strolled over to the girl next to the diamond girl.
I poured myself a cup of strong tea and drank it.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around to speak, he said, "I have a feeling that those police officers won't let this go easily."
The girl in the diamond ring trembled slightly as she held the milk tea cup.
A lot of the milk tea spilled out, scalding her hands and making her shudder in pain.
He Suining took a tissue from the side and wiped her finger clean, leaving a red stain.
Just like when a person does something wrong, they will definitely leave traces.
"What should I do, Little Nightingale? I... I don't want to go to jail..."
He Suining looked at her and gave her a direction, "If I were you, I would think about how to drag Zhong Yiqiao into this. Because this matter will most likely come to light eventually, and the police will find out sooner or later. But you don't have any evidence that Zhong Yiqiao asked you to do it. If you keep accusing Zhong Yiqiao, the police may not believe you."
Done.
She turned and left.
He sighed as he sipped the strong tea in his cup.
Zhong Yiqiao.
If you don't provoke me, I'll pretend you don't exist.
But you dare to provoke me and even try to kill me.
Then it's a matter of tit for tat.

Qi Su arrived backstage and looked around.
He's looking for someone.
After searching for a while, I found the little lark in a corner where there were hardly any people.
He walked over with a smile, "Little Nightingale, what are you doing hiding here?"
He Suining looked up at him, confused. "Hmm? Teacher Qi, is there something you need?"
"I've already taken care of what you asked me to do on WeChat last time. The piano will be there when you go on stage."
Qi Su looked at her tenderly, speaking in a tone several octaves lower than others.
She tilted her head and met his gaze.
Sometimes, the way Qi Su looked at her gave her the feeling that he was looking at a priceless treasure.
But he couldn't have it.
Therefore, he could only look at it with admiration and appreciation.
Actually, this feeling isn't very good.
But Qi Su did indeed help her.
He Suining rose step by step from knight to general, relying not only on his own abilities but also on utilizing everything around him that was available, such as his network of connections.
She didn't mind taking Qi Su's kindness towards her as a form of networking.
She can return it if necessary.
For example, Qi Su needed her to go with him on a music and piano tour.
Speaking of this matter.
He Suining then realized that she hadn't told Qin Shen about it yet.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome," Qi Su murmured, then shook his head. "I've already told you not to be polite with me anymore."
"Teacher Qi, it's about to start," a member of the production crew urged.
Qi Su glanced at her a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and turned to leave.
He Suining sat down on the sofa again.
Her phone vibrated twice inside her small handbag, and she took it out to look at it.
It was actually sent by Qi Su, who had just left.
Qi Su: [Little Nightingale, you're the best! ヾ(?°?°?)??.]
It was followed by a cute emoji.
He Suining shook her head helplessly and replied with a cat rolling around emoji.
Qi Su returned to the judges' panel.
The phone he was holding vibrated quickly, and he eagerly opened it to take a look.
I have many contacts on WeChat.
Previously, Zhong Yiqiao's name was pinned to the top of his chat list, but now it has been replaced by Xiao Bailing.
Zhong Yiqiao was quite high up, and she still offered a few words of condolence because of his accident.
We never talked again after that.
Look at the pattern of the kitten rolling around.
Qi Su pictured a cute little lark tumbling around in his mind, wondering if she was adorable.
But no matter what she looks like, she's adorable.
Just like this kitten.
"Teacher Qi?" Lin Wenjue brought over a cup of tea and placed it in front of Qi Su's table.
She glanced at his lovesick expression and asked in surprise, "Are you in a relationship?"
Hong Yini accepted the tea from Lin Wenjue, said thank you, and took a sip of the steaming tea. Warming herself up in the air-conditioned room made her feel much better.
Only then did they look over in surprise, "Really? Congratulations, Teacher Qi."
Qi Su was stunned.
How did things turn out like this?
He quickly waved his hands, his face as red as a monkey's bottom, "No, no, you've misunderstood."
Lin Wenjue didn't believe it. "Come on, even if they haven't started dating, they're probably close. When I used to like girls, I was exactly like Teacher Qi, like a kitten in heat."
kitten.
Feeling hot.
Qi Su looked at the cat rolling on the screen, his handsome and refined face turning even redder.
Backstage.
The contestants have been arriving one after another.
The large screen displayed the content that He Suining had been about to read but had been interrupted twice.
She heard people talking about it.
She was mentioned in the article: "As expected, Little Nightingale came in first place in the individual vote, but I didn't expect Little Qiao to be second."
Qiao Yue?
He Suining looked around and realized that Qiao Yue hadn't arrived yet, even though it was so late.
She then looked at the individual rankings on the big screen.
The audience voted according to their own preferences.
Currently, Little Nightingale has the best audience appeal and high popularity, which is quite reasonable.
It was Qiao Yue; she hadn't expected it.
As for the third, it's the diamond girl.
Almost all the contestants had arrived, with Qiao Yue being the last to arrive.
She hurriedly came in, greeted He Suining, and then sat down next to Xia Luo.
This time it's not a team competition, it's an individual event, and it's the final.
There are only a dozen or so players left on the field, and the atmosphere is somewhat oppressive.
The atmosphere backstage improved slightly after the host cracked several jokes.
