Chapter 51: 051 I believe in you
“My Qin family has never been one to curry favor or play favorites; we treat everyone equally,” said Qin Zihuai. “As for a certain classmate who lacks integrity and shame, I hope you conduct yourself with more care, as my Qin family certainly cannot afford to climb up to your level.”
Upon hearing this, the media became even more excited.
“Zihuai, are you suggesting something with that comment? Could it be that the plagiarism incident involving Su Ran from years ago is true?”
Qin Zihuai’s face darkened.
“You should ask the person involved.”
Compared to Qin Zihuai’s displeased expression, Fu Qiyuan’s handsome face carried an icy coldness that sent chills down one’s spine.
He turned his head to look at Su Ran, a trace of coldness still lingering in his deep eyes.
“That Qin guy, is he your classmate?”
Su Ran raised her eyebrows, hesitating slightly.
Fu Qiyuan nodded, a fleeting gleam in the depths of his eyes.
“That third-rate star with no class, is she the woman who bullied you in the hospital last time?”
A third-rate star with no class?
Isn’t Su Xinyan now considered a popular influencer in the entertainment industry?
Didn’t it seem like she was the one bullying Su Xinyan?
Didn’t he watch the whole thing from beginning to end?
How come, in his version of the story, she became the one being bullied?
Su Ran didn’t speak because she really didn’t know how to answer his question.
Upon hearing this, the man’s brows furrowed slightly, his deep eyes intently fixed on her face.
Su Ran was utterly confused by his gaze.
Was there something on her face?
She touched her face subconsciously, but it didn’t seem like anything was there.
“You… don’t look alike.”
At that, Su Ran almost laughed out loud. Sisters with the same father and mother may not look alike, let alone half-sisters from different mothers.
Su Ran suddenly became interested.
“Where don’t we look alike?”
“You don’t look like her at all; you’re prettier than she is, your features are more delicate, and most importantly, her character is flawed,” Fu Qiyuan answered without hesitation, and Su Ran admitted she was pleased.
Indeed, women are creatures of the ear.
“Same father, different mothers; the daughter of a woman from outside,” she said.
But that wasn’t the main point. Hearing the conversation of those two on TV, didn’t he have anything else he wanted to ask?
Her hand resting on her knee tightened slightly, and Su Ran’s bright, clear eyes fixed on him for a moment before she said:
“Don’t you have anything else you want to ask?”
The man leaned back on the couch, his lazy, aloof expression and low, husky voice somewhat enthralling.
“About the plagiarism, you…”
“I believe you,” Fu Qiyuan interjected firmly, causing Su Ran’s eyes to flicker unexpectedly.
A wave of warmth she’d never felt before surged through her heart, warming her cold, hard heart.
The walls she had firmly built around herself instantly crumbled completely.
Su Ran looked up, meeting his deep and gentle gaze, her heart racing.
“No need. There’s more than just this one matter to settle with her. A good show needs to unfold slowly.”
Her lips curved up, her light-hearted tone filled with playfulness.
Fu Qiyuan looked at her, a hint of a smile in his eyes, his voice low and tender.
“If you need anything, just say the word. Do whatever you want; even if you poke holes in the sky, I’ll be there to support you,” he said.
Su Ran’s lips curled into a defiant and dazzling smile.
“Do I look like I’m someone easy to deal with?”
She looked up at him and then said softly, “I’m not a weak and kind damsel in distress.”
