Chapter 2244 - 2244 Twins
2244 Twins
Qiao Jierou had cried just now, and her eyes were still swollen. Coupled with the fact that she had drunk a lot, she was in a very bad state. However, looking at Lu Mingjue’s serious expression, she had no choice but to get cleaned up.
After putting on light makeup, Qiao Jierou went downstairs with Lin Heng.
“Brother Heng, I wonder what’s going on?”
“We’ll know when we go take a look.” Although Lin Heng was unwilling to come, he did not want to offend Lu Mingjue.
Qiao Jierou was not worried about anything else. She was just worried that Qiao Weiyang would take this opportunity to publicize the fact that she had gotten the car endorsement.
Qiao Jierou had already publicized this matter many times in front of the crew. Everyone tacitly agreed that the endorsement was hers. If Qiao Weiyang had gotten it, Qiao Jierou really wouldn’t be able to face such a scene.
She walked over patiently and asked, “What exactly is it? The rest of the production team will be returning to the country tomorrow. It’s not good to waste everyone’s time, right?”
“It won’t take too long,” Qiao Weiyang said calmly. “I’m mainly looking for Jiang Lin. As for the rest, I’ll have to trouble everyone to be witnesses.”
“What exactly is it?” Qiao Jierou asked.
Jiang Lin’s hands and feet turned cold. Could she have really been caught hiding the admission ticket?
She didn’t take it seriously at all, so she didn’t think about whether there were surveillance cameras or not. It was too late to regret it now.
Sure enough, before she could continue thinking about it further, Qiao Weiyang said, “Everyone knows that I was late today. Although it has nothing to do with the admission tickets, my assistant, Tao Huan, wasted a lot of time because of the loss of a ticket. She didn’t lose it because she was careless. Jiang Lin deliberately hid it.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but look at Jiang Lin. Everyone had come out for a trip. Even if they couldn’t take care of each other, at least they shouldn’t cause trouble for each other. They didn’t expect Jiang Lin to do such a thing.
“I didn’t,” Jiang Lin immediately retorted, almost out of the subconscious reaction of a liar.
“We’ll know if it’s true by looking at the surveillance footage.”
Qiao Weiyang gestured for Lu Mingjue to play the footage.
Qiao Jierou suddenly remembered that when Jiang Lin was hiding something, she was also standing not far away from her. She watched helplessly but did not say anything. She could not help but want to stop them. “Weiyang, are you sure it’s Jiang Lin? If you’re sure, let Jiang Lin apologize to Huan Huan. There’s no need to release the surveillance footage to execute her in public.”
“What’s wrong? Are you afraid that you’ll see yourself in the footage as well?” Qiao Weiyang asked with a faint smile.
Qiao Jierou was immediately dumbfounded. “That’s not what I meant…”
“Let’s play the surveillance footage. After all, if there’s no evidence, others will say that I’m bullying people.”
Lu Mingjue immediately clicked on the surveillance footage.
The footage clearly replayed the situation.
What relieved Qiao Jierou was that the surveillance footage was not very clear. Although she could be seen standing at the side, it was difficult to see her expression clearly. If she said that she had not noticed, people would most likely believe her.
When the footage was played, Jiang Lin was completely speechless.
After the production team confirmed that Jiang Lin was such a person, they all felt a chill on their backs. It was really scary to work with such a person.
Who knew what she would do to them next time?
She defended herself. “I was just joking with Huan Huan. I didn’t expect any consequences. I was just joking…”
“It’s a small joke? You didn’t offend anyone and didn’t cause trouble for others? But because of your small joke, you delayed Huan Huan’s and my work hours. It can already be considered a very serious intentional injury.”
After Qiao Weiyang finished speaking, the rest of the crew nodded in agreement. “That’s right. How can this be called a joke? Didn’t you know how important tonight’s event was? You really went too far!”
“Jiang Lin, how can you treat your compatriots like this?”
“Fortunately, nothing else happened tonight. If things had gotten serious, could you compensate for Weiyang’s future?”
Jiang Lin was struck by the accusations and did not know what to say.
Qin Lin felt that it was boring and said, “Can I go back and rest now?”
Everyone knew that he was not the kind to get involved, so they didn’t mind.
Lu Mingjue said, “Up to you.”
As Qin Lin walked, he said, “It’s better to stay away from certain people, or it’ll be easy for despicable people to take advantage of the situation.”
Everyone knew who these words were directed at.
Qiao Jierou recalled her various actions. She was instantly provoked by his words, but she couldn’t say anything.
Seeing this, Lin Heng had no choice but to say, “Jiang Lin, apologize to Tao Huan immediately!”
Jiang Lin had no choice but to stand up and say in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”
“Weiyang, Jiang Lin has apologized. Why don’t we just forget about this matter?”
Qiao Weiyang said calmly, “Just like that? We’re going to move past this with just one simple sentence from her? Do you know what Huan Huan was facing and suffering at that time? Do you know how many people rolled their eyes at her for making a rookie mistake like that?”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“Get Jiang Lin to record her apology and post it on her Moments. Let everyone see it.”
“That won’t do!” Lin Heng immediately said. “Jiang Lin’s Moments are filled with Jierou’s work and her own connections. If she posts a public apology, everything will be ruined!”
“So she’s afraid of ruining herself? Did she never stop to think that if Huan Huan hadn’t found that ticket, it might’ve ruined my career and Tao Huan’s career?! When Jiang Lin took out that ticket, she didn’t even think about whose ticket it belonged to! If that ticket was mine and Huan Huan didn’t find that ticket, I wouldn’t have been able to enter the event location and would’ve had to miss the event. At that time, Huan Huan and I would be the ones facing criticism!”
Qiao Weiyang was right. Although the production team did not verbally agree, they used their eyes to express their agreement.
Artistes lived in the limelight. Every time they appeared at a public event, they were watched by thousands of pairs of eyes.
Others would not care about what happened behind the scenes or what difficulties the artistes encountered. If they did not come and if they were late, they would definitely have to bear the criticisms of everyone.
“But the worst-case scenario didn’t happen!” Lin Heng still wanted to fight for Jiang Lin. Perhaps he was agitated by what had happened tonight, or perhaps he just wanted to protect his dignity. His attitude at this moment was very firm.
“Oh, so if a person commits a crime, as long as it’s not murder, it’s fine to just close an eye, huh? In that case, Jiang Lin might not cause a huge loss by posting on her Moments. There’ll always be people who believe her, right? Can her career be doomed just by posting on her Moments?”
