Chapter 150 - If Someone Wants to Give Me Money, Why Not?
He did not expect that her character would still be so terrible even after so many years had passed. In fact, he felt that her bad character had actually intensified over the past few years.
Ku Jie suddenly remembered that Jiang Yuning had asked him about his past relationship just a few days ago. He suddenly realised that his sister had already found out about Yin Qingyu’s existence.
“What kind of hatred do you have for him that you need to act this way?”
Yin Qingyu would have never imagined that she was actually talking to Jiang Muyang right now.
“I don’t think that I have the obligation to explain everything to you, right? So, do you want to accept this job or not?”
“I would never say no to money, but I have to remind you that X Society only reports on things that is proven to be true. Therefore, if our people are unable to obtain the evidence or photographs that you want, I apologize but we would not be releasing any fake news just because we have received money from you. Furthermore, you need to know that your money would not be refunded even if we are unable to discover anything about Jiang Muyang to report about at the end of our investigation. We need to maintain the integrity of X Society. Can you accept that?” Ku Jie replied in a very professional manner.
“No problem,” Yin Qingyu replied immediately.
“You can also send us the photographs that you have of Jiang Muyang and his ex-girlfriend. However, I have a condition. As you are hiring us to investigate Jiang Muyang, we will need you to sign an exclusive agreement with us. Otherwise, you can seek help from another media if you refuse to do so.”
“Alright then, I can do that,” Yin Qingyu replied without any hesitation at all.
“I hope that we will have a pleasant cooperation then. I will ask one of our staff members to contact you later to sign the contract with us.” Ku Jie hung up the phone immediately after that before passing the phone over to the young paparazzo. “Accept the job.”
“That...that...Brother Ku Jie, this woman hates you so much. Why are you still accepting her job?” the young paparazzo asked because he could not understand why Ku Jie was reacting this way. Why accept her job offer when they could have turned her down immediately?
“Why would you say no to money?” Ku Jie replied immediately. “I will just find a perfect day to ask Xiao K to take pictures of me eating, showering, and going to the bathroom. Let’s see how much she is willing to spend to obtain these kind of useless pictures before she finally gives up and goes home.”
“Wow...Brother Ku Jie. You really are incredible.”
If he could just turn back time, he would not have gotten involved with Yin Qingyu at all.
“Go for your classes now,” Ku Jie said as he glared at the young paparazzo. After everyone had left his office to continue with their work, Ku Jie took out his cell phone and gave Jiang Yuning a call immediately.
“Ning Ning, has anyone strange contacted you recently?”
Jiang Yuning smiled as soon as she heard Ku Jie’s sudden question. “I see. You must have received a phone call from your ex-girlfriend.”
“You know all about it?”
“She wanted to use Vera to deal with me, but Vera has refused to do so. I assume that if she wants to expose me or leak any information related to me, she would definitely contact X Society. I did not expect her to act so quickly though,” Jiang Yuning explained. “I am curious though. How did you deal with it? She is a very difficult person to handle and she has something that she could use against Vera. I am just waiting for her to threaten Vera again before I take any action. How could you have fallen for someone like that in the past?”
“I was framed.” Ku Jie took a deep breathe before he started explaining himself. “During my university days, I rarely ever went out to the bar, so I was not very good at drinking at that time. However, I had gone out to the bar one day because we were having an association gathering there. I got drunk and I woke up right next to her the next day. I had no choice but to be responsible for what I had done. I had only realised much later that I had not touched her at all that night, but I thought that as long as she was really sincere and interested in me, I could try to get along with her and fall in love with her eventually. Little did I know that she had been treating me as a toy and using me all along.”
“Oh, I did not expect that a man’s virginity could also be stolen just like that,” Jiang Yuning replied as she snorted.
“Hey. I am still you elder brother after all. Watch how you speak! Anyway, do not worry too much about this matter. I know that she is trying to create trouble for you so if you need to retaliate, just go ahead and retaliate. You do not need to give her any face.”
“Alright, I understand,” Jiang Yuning replied before hanging up the phone.
She only thought that it was really very hilarious that Yin Qingyu had personally delivered herself up to X Society.
In the past, Jiang Muyang had always looked arrogant because he did not receive any love from his own biological parents. In fact, he was only pretending to be arrogant to hide his own inferiority complex.
When he moved abroad to continue his studies, people had thought that he wanted to flee from his own family. Deep down, the only reason why he had acted so was due to his own feelings of inferiority.
Jiang Muyang used to be a fragile and sensitive person who would escape easily to hide from anything that he felt uncomfortable with.
It was only after the Jiang family had gone bankrupt that Jiang Muyang subsequently stepped out of his own little bubble. He began to become more aware of what was going on around him and after all these years in the entertainment circle, Jiang Muyang had become a very mature and wise person who could no longer be deceived easily.
If someone wanted to give him money, why not?
He could take a lot of beautiful pictures.
...
Vera took the initiative to contact Yin Qingyu after their disagreement the other day. She did not contact Yin Qingyu to protect herself, but she only did so to ensure that Yin Qingyu would not hurt Jiang Yuning.
Although Vera already knew that Ku Jie was in fact Jiang Muyang, she knew that Yin Qingyu was emotionally unstable and did not know what else she was capable of doing.
Therefore, Vera went to the hotel that Yin Qingyu was staying at, which was located very close to Guangdong Media.
Vera obtained Yin Qingyu’s room number through the concierge and when she arrived at the hotel room, she found its door unlocked.
Vera entered the hotel room and she could hear Yin Qingyu talking on the phone in the bathroom.
“Vera does not have any self respect at all. When I lost my temper, she contacted me immediately in the afternoon because I am her benefactor after all. Don’t worry, even if she really chooses to betray me, I still have material on her that I can use to threaten her. Furthermore, Vera has always believed that I had depression. She really is a fool who can be easily manipulated.”
Vera faintly heard this sentence and she heard Yin Qingyu mentioning her name a couple of times. She did not expect that she was merely a pawn in Yin Qingyu’s heart.
Yin Qingyu did not know that Vera had already entered her hotel room and she was extremely shocked to see Vera after stepping out of the bathroom. She looked at Vera with a guilty conscience and said, “When did you come in? Why didn’t you say anything?”
“Yin Qingyu, you really are amazing. I have never imagined that you would pretend to be depressed just to deceive and manipulate me,” Vera replied as she glared coldly at Yin Qingyu. She pursed her lips tightly together, as though she was trying to suppress her own anger and emotions. “Is this really that fun for you? Do you really find joy in trying to harm and destroy others? Right now, I only feel that Jiang Muyang had been very unlucky to have met someone like you. How could he even endure being in a relationship with you?”
“You are sick.”
“Vera...”
Vera did not want to listen to anything else that she had to say. Therefore, she turned around to leave the hotel room. However, at this time, Yin Qingyu started to threaten her, “If you walk out of this hotel room today, then you can just wait for me to release the news that you used to work as a public escort in the nightclub. Once everyone finds out the truth about you, Jiang Yuning would also lose her reputation because of you. Aren’t you afraid that I will look for Jiang Yuning personally?”
Vera laughed out loud before she turned around to face Yin Qingyu. “I think that Jiang Muyang made the right choice when he chose to left you five years ago. That was the best decision he has ever made in his life. Therefore, I have to make the right choice for myself this time. If you want to look for Jiang Yuning, you can go ahead and look for her. However, you are no match for her. You will never be able deal with Jiang Yuning!”
After that, Vera turned around and left because she could no longer contain her overwhelming emotions. After getting into her car, Vera’s hands were still shaking uncontrollably.
She was merely selling liquor in the nightclub, not working as a public escort. She was only taking a part-time job because her family was short of money at that time.
However, she would never have expected that a drunk guest would drag her out the back alley of the nightclub and start beating her up. At that time, if Yin Qingyu had not called the police, she would have been beaten to death. She had already repaid this debt for so many years...
