Chapter 388: Chapter 388_1 Chapter 388: Chapter 388_1 The female journalist probably hadn’t anticipated that Qiao Xiaren would actually dare to allow her bodyguard to lay hands on her in public. With so many journalists present, was Qiao Xiaren looking for death?
To mistreat a journalist this way was essentially asking for a collective outrage from them! With this thought in mind, the female journalist began to pretend to be weak and innocent, squeezing out a few teardrops from her eyes.
“Qiao Xiaren, you’ve gone too far!”
“Yes, think you’re superior because you’re a celebrity, huh? Believe it or not, I’ll explode this news tomorrow, and you won’t be able to stay in the entertainment circle!”
“Exactly, that’s too much!”
Essentially, all the entertainment journalists on the scene were expressing their indignation. Every one of their sentences was a condemnation, and yet Qiao Xiaren still stood there, utterly composed, without any change in her emotions, as if what was happening before her had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that there wasn’t a change in Qiao Xiaren’s emotions, a malicious glint flashed across the female journalist’s eyes. She decided to escalate the situation.
“Qiao Xiaren, you deliberately injured someone in public, and I will charge you with a criminal injury offense!”
The other journalists comforted the female journalist, their words overlapping: “This young lady, we’re all colleagues, we understand how hard our industry is. We’ll definitely help you get justice.”
Just as Weini was about to step forward and argue with them, he suddenly felt a considerable force from behind. Qiao Xiaren’s pristine arm rested on his shoulder, casually stepping forward, and then with a slight pull, she blocked him behind her.
“Miss, you were really enjoying yourself just now, weren’t you? Calling me a bitch over and over, is that your professional ethics as an entertainment journalist? Cursing in public, is that related to your parents’ upbringing, or is it because you have neither a mother nor a father for teaching? Accusing me of infidelity and being a mistress, do you think your foul mouth can turn white into black? You! Are! Dreaming!” Qiao Xiaren suddenly raised her voice, “Miss, please answer my question!”
The female journalist was startled by Qiao Xiaren’s sudden loud voice, and she staggered back, “You… don’t try to intimidate me here. I’m just doing my normal job! If you haven’t done anything, why are you feeling guilty?”
“Work?” Qiao Xiaren laughed sarcastically, her dark eyes gleaming and her body exuding a chilling aura. She elegantly raised her hand and clapped, a strange smile on her face.
“Miss, what a great show you put on –” Qiao Xiaren suddenly raised her voice again, sternly declaring, “You’re not a journalist at all, you don’t have a press pass!”
This sudden shout shocked all the journalists present, and doubtful gazes followed. This woman wasn’t a journalist!
The female journalist hadn’t expected Qiao Xiaren to see through her identity in a glance, she was trembling with fear as if struck by a jolt of lightning. She didn’t know what to do next and simply stood there, staring blankly at Qiao Xiaren.
Seeing the sceptical gazes, the female journalist’s first reaction was to flee. The bodyguard wasn’t there for nothing, he stepped forward, no words needed, and smashed her camera harshly on the ground. Everyone saw that this woman didn’t have a press pass!
There was an uproar among the crowd–
Although paparazzi tend not to have any moral boundaries, they do have their own work permits. This woman didn’t even have a pass, she could not possibly be a journalist. That means her previous actions and words could only suggest one possibility–she’s a troll, or possibly involved in something even more unmentionable.
