Zheng Nanfeng, who was watching the live broadcast, looked rather grim. But he knew clearly that the angriest person was not him, but Ji Xiaoli sitting beside him.
"Let me tell you, Xiaoli. Don't get angry with a thick - skinned woman like her. If you get sick from anger, isn't that just what she wants?"
However, Zheng Nanfeng's attempt to soothe Ji Xiaoli didn't work. Instead, Ji Xiaoli's face turned even uglier.
"How can I not be angry! Look at her. She's so brazen, actually biting the hand that feeds her."
Ji Xiaoli's eyes were full of rage as she stared straight at the woman on the live - broadcast screen who was having a great time spilling the beans.
She wished she could rush in and tear that woman to pieces with her own hands.
Qin Xiangxiang had no idea about Ji Xiaoli's thoughts. Even if she did, she would just laugh even more wildly.
She was busy exposing Ji Xiaoli's so - called true face. "Come on, everyone. Get your microphones closer. Today, I'm going to reveal some never - before - seen big events."
These reporters who were vying for hot spots and traffic were quite cooperative. They swarmed forward, almost sticking themselves to Qin Xiangxiang.
Seeing the reporters coming towards her, Qin Xiangxiang felt a bit dizzy with success.
This feeling of being in the spotlight was really great, and she was destined to rise to fame by stepping on Ji Xiaoli.
Qin Xiangxiang held her head high and dropped the first bombshell. "First, Zheng Nanfeng and Ji Xiaoli have been in an official relationship for a long time. The reason they haven't made it public was originally because Ji Xiaoli always refused, afraid of bringing unnecessary trouble to herself."
Qin Xiangxiang deliberately left her words hanging and gave the people below a meaningful look.
"You said the original reason was this. Does that mean there are other reasons?"
"Yeah, could you please elaborate?"
The reporters bombarded her with questions one after another.
This was exactly what Qin Xiangxiang wanted. By learning to whet their appetites, they would know how important the information she was revealing was.
"It's very simple. The reason they didn't go public is simply that they're not a real couple at all. They're just in cahoots."
There was an immediate murmur in the audience. A reporter directly asked, "Could you please explain in detail?"
Qin Xiangxiang glanced at the name tag on the reporter and recognized that he was from the top - notch entertainment gossip magazine. Her smile became even more sincere.
"Because Ji Xiaoli can steal other people's luck through a system, they made a deal. Zheng Nanfeng has been pursuing her every day just for the good luck she brings."
Sneering at this point, she said, "Otherwise, do you think Zheng Nanfeng would be so infatuated with Ji Xiaoli?"
On the other side of the screen, Ji Xiaoli's face darkened, and she couldn't bear to watch any longer.
It was okay for Qin Xiangxiang to slander her, but why did she have to slander Zheng Nanfeng too?
Ji Xiaoli didn't care about anything else and immediately called Qin Xiangxiang again.
Qin Xiangxiang saw the phone screen light up with the three characters "Ji Xiaoli" on it.
She sneered, picked up the phone, and pointed it at the camera. "Look, everyone. That Ji Xiaoli is calling again. I bet she's been hit right on the mark and is coming in a fit of anger to silence me."
Ji Xiaoli was so angry that she was almost numb.
She didn't understand what she had done to make Qin Xiangxiang treat her like this.
Meeting such a shameless person was really the worst luck in her life.
"Qin Xiangxiang, I don't understand what your purpose is. It's okay for you to slander me, but why do you have to drag Zheng Nanfeng into it?"
Qin Xiangxiang ignored her. Anyway, things had already escalated to this point. Did Ji Xiaoli still expect her to say something nice?
To disgust Ji Xiaoli, Qin Xiangxiang deliberately put the phone on speaker. "Ji Xiaoli, how can you talk to me like this? I just told the truth so that everyone won't be deceived by you anymore and so that you won't go further astray."
She even deliberately put on a pitiful look, which made people want to slap her.
Ji Xiaoli was extremely angry. In this situation, there was no need to leave any room for Qin Xiangxiang.
Fighting fire with fire was the best way.
"Qin Xiangxiang, do you want me to count the good deeds you've done?"
Hearing Ji Xiaoli's tone, Qin Xiangxiang was a bit scared at first. But then she thought of Zhong Canxi, who had ignored her, and the humiliation of that day...
Qin Xiangxiang was once again blinded by hatred. "Ji Xiaoli, don't try to change the subject."
Ji Xiaoli's tone was extremely cold. "Do you still remember that you went to borrow a nude - loan to buy luxury goods and then couldn't pay it back, almost being insulted?"
Hearing this, the reporters looked at Qin Xiangxiang differently.
Ji Xiaoli continued, "When you were almost insulted, it was me who saved you. And I was the one who paid off that debt in the end. Do you remember?"
She used to think that after being so magnanimous, Qin Xiangxiang should at least remember her kindness. But unexpectedly, she was just an ungrateful person.
Ji Xiaoli paused for a few seconds, and on the other end of the phone, Qin Xiangxiang was speechless.
Qin Xiangxiang wanted to defend herself, but Ji Xiaoli didn't give her a chance and pressed on like a machine gun.
"You had no resources, and I helped you find them and made you popular. When you were almost sexually harassed, it was me who saved you in the hotel. As your roommate, haven't I done enough?"
The noisy reporters fell silent and listened quietly.
"If I hadn't paid off that five - million - yuan debt for you, you might not even know where you'd be now."
Ji Xiaoli tried her best to suppress her inner anger and said word by word.
"But how did you repay me? You kicked me aside after using me, were ungrateful, and two - faced. How could you have the nerve to say those things? Tell me!"
Ji Xiaoli couldn't hold it back anymore, and her voice got louder and louder.
"Why don't you say anything? Are you too ashamed to face me?"
Qin Xiangxiang dug her fingernails deep into her flesh. She knew these were all facts, and they could be easily verified. There was no use in defending herself.
But she didn't want to sit back and do nothing. She immediately retorted, "You did help me a bit, but it was your own choice. I didn't beg you to do it. Don't try to change the subject. First, talk about the good deeds you've done."
Ji Xiaoli adjusted her state and continued to ask rhetorically, "Zheng Nanfeng is the noble young master of the Zheng Group. Does he still need to collude with a nobody like me? Tell me?"
Qin Xiangxiang was annoyed. She regretted dragging Zheng Nanfeng into it just to smear Ji Xiaoli.
But she still stubbornly insisted, "Shouldn't you be the one to answer this question?"
Ji Xiaoli didn't show any fear and continued to press on.
"He doesn't need any good - luck assistance, and he definitely won't be with me because of the so - called ability you mentioned. Even if we are together, it's because we get along well."
Qin Xiangxiang wanted to refute Ji Xiaoli but didn't know where to start.
And Ji Xiaoli gave her a cruel blow, sneering, "Oh, right. You've never been in a relationship, so you don't know how it feels to be with someone."
Ji Xiaoli's words were like a sharp knife stabbing deep into the center of Qin Xiangxiang's heart.
"But you'll never understand how I feel now!! You'll never understand!"
Ji Xiaoli threw another harsh sentence, her tone full of sarcasm.
Facing Ji Xiaoli's series of questions, Qin Xiangxiang couldn't answer a single one.
"Miss Qin, why don't you say anything? Are you not feeling well?"
"I think she's just been exposed. She's too ashamed to answer..."
The paparazzi reporters, who had been firmly believing in Qin Xiangxiang just a second ago, quickly changed their stance.
Realizing that the reporters were starting to doubt her, Qin Xiangxiang blurted out a defense in a hurry. "I didn't! She's a monster. She's just trying to whitewash herself. Don't believe her!"
