Chapter 104: Owner of the Grey Car

After Tao Qiuyun dropped off Qin Qingshang, she drove the Cayenne back to West Wind Courtyard, then drove out the gray Volkswagen. She contacted Executive Assistant Wang, preparing to deal with the car. As luck would have it, not long after driving the car out of West Wind Courtyard, she was forced to stop by a sports car.

"Are they crazy, the one driving the sports car?" passersby discussed.

"Exactly! How are they driving! Just because they're rich?!" Someone held up their phone, live-streaming. "Folks, look at this, this sports car was speeding and aggressively cutting people off. If the gray car owner hadn't braked in time, there would have been a tragic accident."

"The world is going downhill!" Everyone shook their heads.

Tao Qiuyun looked at the sports car in front and frowned when she saw the man getting out of the car.

It was Jiang Lihe.

What a lunatic!

Her expression darkened slightly. She reached for the bag on the passenger seat, took out a hair tie to put her hair up, and put on her plain glasses for disguise. Only then did she unbuckle her seatbelt, ready to get out.

As she reached for the door handle, Tao Qiuyun closed her eyes...

Would the exposure of her being the gray car owner affect Qin Qingshang?

Jiang Lihe got out of the car aggressively and walked towards the gray Volkswagen, clearly not caring about the surrounding onlookers. He knocked hard on the window, which was covered with privacy film. "I finally caught you, you sneaky fellow! Heaven is really helping me! Hey! Get out!"

There was no reaction from the car. Jiang Lihe raised his hand and knocked on the window again. "I know you can hear me. I'm here to talk about cooperation. You must be unwilling and angry about Qin Qingshang abandoning you, right? You must hate that Qiu Yi too, right? Did you used to date Qin Qingshang? How about you consider coming out and accusing Qin Qingshang of two-timing?"

The car window slowly lowered, revealing Tao Qiuyun's exquisite face. Jiang Lihe's pupils trembled. "You..."

"Mr. Jiang," Tao Qiuyun stared at him, chuckling softly. "Long time no see. I'm afraid I'm not only not angry about Qingshang finding a partner on the romance reality show, but quite happy about it."

"Qiu! Yi!" Jiang Lihe's eyes bulged. "You and Qin Qingshang... you two sluts! You've been playing me!"

Just thinking about how these two had been secretly involved all along and then acted like strangers turning into lovers on the romance reality show made him feel suffocated.

Does Qin Qingshang like this woman that much? What right does she have! How is she better than this Qiu Yi!

You real couples pretending to be strangers to participate in a romance reality show, aren't you just treating the audience like fools!

Are you two deliberately showing off your affection? The entire national audience and the guests present are all part of your little couple's game?

The clown is me?

The more Jiang Lihe thought about it, the angrier he got.

"I've already called the police," Tao Qiuyun looked at him and chuckled. "Mr. Jiang is the CEO of Sufeng, surely you won't run away? Don't worry, I will truthfully explain the situation to the police. The dashcam will prove everything."

Jiang Lihe was so angry he laughed instead. "Sue me? What can you sue me for? Go tell my lawyer. Qiu Yi, do you believe I'll expose the fact that you and Qin Qingshang have been colluding for a long time to the media? You're deceiving the audience!"

"Colluding? Mr. Jiang's vocabulary is truly eye-opening. With this level, I wonder how you even graduated from elementary school."

"You!"

"You can certainly tell the media that Qingshang and I have known each other for a long time," the woman said, though seated, her imposing aura gave her the upper hand. "But I believe the top trending search will definitely be related to... Jiang Lihe detained, those words."

"Qiu Yi!"

"The police are here," Tao Qiuyun saw the police car and finally pushed open the car door to get out. She stood casually, looked at Jiang Lihe, made an inviting gesture, and smiled, "Please, CEO Jiang."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Lihe frowned.

"CEO Jiang is a businessman, surely you know the saying? To do business, first thoroughly read the 《Criminal Law》. As a CEO, you should set an example."

"Jiang Lihe," Tao Qiuyun's eyes were like shining pearls, her voice clear and cold. "You broke the law, do you know that?"

"Hello, Mr. Jiang Lihe," the police officer stepped forward and showed his badge. "The police received a report stating that you were provoking trouble, driving dangerously, racing on the road, and deliberately forcing another vehicle to stop. Please come with us."

Jiang Lihe: ...

Wait, that's breaking the law?

The onlookers' phone cameras kept recording, and soon, this incident quickly shot up the trending searches.

"The audience in the live stream are very enthusiastic," the host held the microphone and looked at the two actresses sitting beside her, smiling. "We've talked so much about the interesting stories of our 《Fluttering Butterfly》. This drama will officially premiere tonight, and it's a rare simultaneous filming and broadcasting model in the country. As the leads, do you two feel any pressure?"

"Actually, I'm fine," Qin Qingshang held the microphone and looked at Ming Siwen. "As I said before, my state when acting with Teacher Ming is very good, and the final chapters are basically just scenes between Teacher Ming and me. So, I don't feel much pressure. Teacher Ming is very good at leading."

"Qingshang is very good with words, she has no pressure." Ming Siwen took the microphone and smiled. "But I still have a little pressure, because in this drama, there is a tiny, very subtle emotional line between Zhuang Die and Qin Wu. It's really subtle..."

Speaking of this, she and Qin Qingshang exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile. Ming Siwen continued, "So subtle that we had to repeatedly analyze the script to confirm it. And there's a breaking point in the final chapter, so I feel a bit of pressure."

"Of course, this pressure isn't because I have to act in a romantic scene, but as you should know, Qingshang is currently in a relationship, and I'm afraid her partner will get jealous then."

At this point, Ming Siwen looked at the camera and made a gesture of pleading, saying pitifully, "Qiu Yi, if you're watching the live stream, please believe me. If you find that Qingshang in the drama loves me very much, and I love her very much too, please don't doubt, our acting skills are just that superb. After all, in reality, we are very good friends, the purest sisterly bond! Really!"

CEO Tao, you must have a normal mindset! Please don't be overly possessive!

【Hahahaha, Sister Ming is killing me】

【She was desperately trying to matchmake the CP she ships on the romance reality show, and now she has to work with Sister Qin as soon as she's out, sister is so cute】

【Teacher Ming, forever Cupid hahahaha】

【Go check the Weibo trending searches, friends! Qiu Yi and Qin Qingshang have always been a couple!】

【Grass (a plant) - internet slang for shock/disbelief 】

The host was originally smoothly continuing the conversation, boosting the atmosphere, but suddenly received a message through her earpiece. Her expression changed slightly. She hesitated for a few seconds before interrupting the two chatting actresses and said, "Just a moment to interrupt the two teachers. We just received news that something is spreading very rapidly online, and the netizens in our live stream are very eager to get clarification from Teacher Qin."

Hearing this, Qin Qingshang and Ming Siwen both put away their smiles and became serious.

Being in the industry, they naturally knew that some negative news about Qin Qingshang might have appeared online.

Ming Siwen: It couldn't be CEO Tao's identity being exposed, could it? But that doesn't make sense. If they knew Qin Qingshang was CEO Tao's girlfriend, the host wouldn't have this expression. So what is it?

Qin Qingshang: Could it be Qinqin is exposed?

"It's like this," the host took the A4 paper handed by a staff member and held it up, saying, "Currently, the internet is saying that Teacher Qin's girlfriend, Miss Qiu Yi, is the gray car owner that the entire internet was looking for back then."

On the paper was a printed photo: Tao Qiuyun standing next to the gray car, seemingly talking to someone.

"This matter has been confirmed, so everyone now wants to know, Teacher Qin and Qiu Yi, what was your relationship before? Why did you go on the romance reality show? And why did you pretend not to know each other on the show?"

Ming Siwen: Scared me to death, thankfully, this can be handled.

Qin Qingshang: Scared me to death, is that all?

The cat pursed her lips, organizing her thoughts...

It was true that she and Tao Qiuyun were secretly married, but they were going to go public in the future. She definitely couldn't speak too definitively now; she needed to leave some room for future public announcement.

"I received an invitation from the 《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》 production team," Qin Qingshang looked at the camera. "At first, I was going to refuse, after all, it's a romance reality show, and I'm not single."

The comments section erupted in an uproar...

This directly confirmed the speculation that she had been in love with the gray car owner for a long time.

【Sister Qin dares to love and hate, dares to act and take responsibility! So cool!】

【Ahhhhhh, sister is so fierce】

【What's wrong with being in love? She and Qiuqiu are so compatible!】

【Dying of laughter, no wonder I felt like they had been married for years, their interaction was too natural】

【Hahahaha, it must have been hard on Sister Qiu. So when she first sent roses, she really just wanted to send them to Sister Qin, right? Everyone else was just a smokescreen】

【And she was treated as a player, help, thinking back to the previous live streams, their interactions were too funny】

【I'm shipping them to death! So Sister Qin's sarcastic look back then must have been genuine jealousy, even sweeter!】

【I want the edited version! When will the director's cut be released! @SuperHighSpeedHeartbeatProductionTeam】

"But Qiuqiu encouraged me to go on this show," Qin Qingshang couldn't help but laugh. "You must find it strange, but she's just like that, always putting me first, considering things for me. This romance reality show was indeed a great opportunity for me..."

"I agreed to participate in the romance reality show also because the 《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》 show isn't just about dating. I also told Qiuqiu, I said, I won't date any guest. After all, no one says you have to form a couple on a romance reality show. I know, this is indeed quite irresponsible to the audience... I'm sorry, I really didn't handle this well, I apologize to everyone."

"Actually, I went on the romance reality show for my career too," Ming Siwen patted the bowing Qin Qingshang and looked at the camera. "Director Lu, don't blame me for telling the truth~"

Knowing that Ming Siwen was helping her out, Qin Qingshang straightened up and continued, "But I, who was determined to maintain my 'focus on eating' persona on the romance reality show, didn't expect Qiuqiu to actually come participate in the show too. I don't know how she found the production team, but... honestly, when I came out of the restroom and saw her giving flowers to Teacher Ming, I was very angry."

【Because her wings were tied?】

【Whoever said 'wings were tied' is a genius!】

"But later," Qin Qingshang continued, "As everyone knows, Qiuqiu and I, we will always be together. It's something that can't be controlled."

After all, she and Qiuqiu were so compatible!

"Then was Teacher Ming in on it?" The host looked at Ming Siwen.

"Yes, I was in on it," Ming Siwen covered for Qin Qingshang. "Otherwise, why did I designate them as a couple from the start in the werewolf game? Because they are a couple themselves."

"Teacher Ming helped me a lot with my relationship," Qin Qingshang looked at Ming Siwen. "The fact that Qiuqiu and I are so loving is largely thanks to Teacher Ming."

The two actresses sang and echoed each other, mixing truth and falsehood, making it sound real, as if Ming Siwen and Qin Qingshang had always been very good friends privately, even knowing such private matters as Qin Qingshang being in love.

This did ease the tension between the two fan bases.

Ming Siwen and Qin Qingshang's CP completely turned into sisterly affection. The CP fans stopped shipping the two actresses and turned to ship their major fans instead.

The two major fan leaders who used to curse each other are now getting along harmoniously. Isn't this a true portrayal of rivals becoming a CP?

Both fan bases: Huh? Let me say it again, you CP fans are really messed up!
