Chapter 2261 - 15: Want to Be Your Brother-in-Law (Part 2)

For example... the news that Sister Ping intercepted before mostly involved rumors about getting ahead, relationships, or unwritten rules, bullying new actors, or about being a diva, all of which were false news.

The reason why Gu Mochen and Jian Ran did this was not to be special, but mainly to protect Gu Xiran in another way.

So, in the past, the Gu Family had always properly greeted the major mainstream media in the country. But this time... it was an obscure little magazine that caused the trouble.

It seems the magazine took money and deliberately tried to blacken Gu Xiran’s name.

But Gu Xiran is currently the hottest celebrity in the country, and other mainstream media reposted the news to gain traction.

"Tang Bao, the media is now asking if you and Qin Song are dating."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Something really has happened.

Since her debut, this was the first time she was exposed for being in a relationship.

Gu Xiran’s face turned a bit pale, just as she heard Sister Ping’s worried words.

"You’re still young, just a student, and being rumored for a relationship is a scandal in itself. To the media, you’re in early romance, setting a bad example for many students, limiting future endorsements and charity platforms."

"Also... this dating issue is one thing, but coming out of Qin Song’s apartment, it will be tagged as an overnight stay."

Over the years, Gu Xiran’s debut image had always been pure and untouched by worldly dust.

Now being labeled with these overnight words, her image would greatly deteriorate.

"I’ve already called Mr. Gu, and he’ll immediately suppress these news pieces and have them taken down. But Tang Bao, we need a statement or an explanation, otherwise... it won’t be good if the media keeps holding onto this. I must help you salvage your image as much as possible."

"OK, Sister Ping, I understand."

The reasons...

Overnight...

Plus, with Qin Song still in the emergency room, Gu Xiran felt as if her head was about to explode with pain.

"Tang Bao, where are you now?"

"Sister Ping, Qin Song is sick. I brought him to the hospital, waiting for him now as he’s having a check-up."

"I see... Where’s Qin Jin? He should also be at the hospital, right? I have a good solution; give him the phone."

"Um..."

Gu Xiran hesitated. Sister Ping wanted to seek Qin Jin regarding the news. Right now, she didn’t want to have any dealings with Qin Jin.

The hospital corridor was nearly empty and quiet enough. Sister Ping’s voice was loud, and Qin Jin heard everything she said. He directly reached out and took the phone from the woman’s hand.

"I’ll take it."

Gu Xiran looked up at the man’s tense, handsome face, exuding coldness. Especially with that determined look, it was unchallengeable. Gu Xiran pursed her lips, "Hmm."

...

Qin Jin connected the call, his thin lips pressed together, and got straight to the point: "Sister Ping, what’s your plan, and how do you want me to cooperate?"

Direct and to the point, clear and straightforward.

Sister Ping knew early on that Qin Jin was a reasonable person, so asking him for help wasn’t wrong.

"It’s simple... just say that when Qin Song returned to the country, you and Tang Bao celebrated his return together at Qin Song’s apartment and stayed over afterward."

"Okay."

"Mr. Qin, but since you’re from the military district, getting involved in entertainment gossip might not be good for you, right?"

Sister Ping hesitated, asking straightforwardly.

"No problem, I can handle it. I’ll have someone issue a statement under the Qin Family’s name later."

"Alright, thank you, Mr. Qin."

A neat solution, Sister Ping was overjoyed.

Qin Jin has always been aloof, untouched by worldly matters. But when it involves Tang Bao, the man simply gives without hesitation, not caring about his gains or losses.

So, over the years, Sister Ping saw it clearly in her heart. This Qin Jin has feelings for Tang Bao.

It’s just that some people don’t often hang the word love on their lips.

Moreover, the man’s thoughts are deep, and ordinary people simply can’t understand them, which made Sister Ping troubled.

Sigh, the thoughts of Qin Jin are like needles at the bottom of the sea, truly unfathomable.

...

Since the matter was basically resolved, Qin Jin directly hung up the call with Sister Ping, then dialed his assistant’s phone to handle the statement.

Gu Xiran watched the man busy himself, feeling a bit uneasy inside.
