Chapter 18

Although the place had been cleared at the time, the conflict between him and Song Lecheng was still caught on camera by passersby outside the store. The video only captured the second half. Although the scene was chaotic, Zhong Ruanxing's face could still be clearly distinguished.

Netizens were all eating up the melon about Song Lecheng's new romance, and now this Weibo post also dragged Zhong Ruanxing into it. Many netizens were already leaving comments below:

- Looks like catching an affair in the act. Is this the official girlfriend discovering the young master cheating and making a scene?

- Has Zhong Ruanxing ever been romantically linked to the young master? If she was the young master's official girlfriend, would she be at her current level of fame?

- Uh, although... How could the young master get into a hair-pulling fight with a woman? My illusions are shattered, o(╯□╰)o

- Is there any bed Zhong Ruanxing hasn't already climbed into?

- Throwing such a fit after being dumped by the young master, how scary. People should know themselves, if you play with fire be prepared to get burned. Don't tell me she actually thought she could marry into a wealthy family?

- The Song family would never agree to let a scandalous actress like Zhong Ruanxing join their family.

- Daily worship of my screen goddess. How can she look so alluring even in workout clothes? [Lust]

- Young masters from wealthy families like to date beautiful women, but when it comes to marriage they pay attention to family background. I advise female celebrities to not dream too big and focus on their careers instead.

- She actually dared fight the young master, very good. Woman, you've successfully caught my attention now...

...There were all kinds of comments. Song Jinxing frowned as he read through them all, then registered a Weibo account to send a private message to the gossip blogger: The content you posted severely deviates from the facts and has damaged Zhong Ruanxing's reputation. Please delete it and apologize immediately, otherwise my party will take legal action.

Half an hour passed without any action being taken. The gossip account received so many lawyer letters that a private message from a newly registered account without even a profile picture wouldn't warrant a second glance, let alone a response.

Song Jinxing put down his phone without pursuing it further and continued reading his book.

As evening approached, he messaged Zhong Ruanxing:

- Want to have dinner together?

- Sure, I also have some documents that need your signature anyway.

The two made plans to meet at Seasons Cloud Top. Song Jinxing used his new number to ask Fu Ling to order dinner delivered there, then drove over. He arrived at the residential area before rush hour and happened to run into Fu Ling in the elevator, who was delivering dinner.

Seeing the somewhat familiar great beauty also waiting for the elevator, Fu Ling was stunned for a moment before his eyes lit up with unconcealable shock and excitement.

It was the boss's wife!

Sure enough! The boss suddenly bought a new apartment, it must be to keep a lover!

He had been worried before that the boss was so cold that day he would scare the beauty away. He didn't expect the boss to have this card up his sleeve!

Fu Ling was too thrilled, trying to figure out how to greet this future boss's wife. But he saw her give him a cold glance before reaching out her hand and saying, "Give it to me."

"Ah? Boss's wife...I mean, Ms Zhong, we meet again, heh heh."

Song Jinxing: "..." After a few days his assistant had become strange, "I'll take it up, so you don't need to make another trip."

Fu Ling nodded repeatedly and quickly handed the food boxes to him, "I understand, I understand! Ms Zhong, see you later, enjoy your dinner with the boss!"

Then he turned and ran off.

Song Jinxing: "......"

More than 20 minutes later when Zhong Ruanxing arrived, she immediately complained, "So crowded! A 3 minute drive took 20 minutes, if I knew I would've just walked." Each time Song Jinxing met with his own body, the corner of his eye would involuntarily twitch.

"Smells so good, what did you get?" Zhong Ruanxing's eyes lit up when she saw the sumptuous dinner after washing her hands. "This logo... Don't they not do takeout? You still have to make reservations a week in advance to eat there!"

Song Jinxing passed her chopsticks, "Let's eat." The two ate dinner while chatting about what had happened to each of them today. When Song Jinxing calmly recounted running into Song Lecheng at the mall, Zhong Ruanxing nearly choked on her rice. After coughing for a long time she finally swallowed it down and reacted in shock, "You ran into Song Lecheng?"

She immediately understood the situation, anger surging onto her face as she slammed her chopsticks onto the table, "That turtle son did hit you right? The red marks on your neck are from him choking you? Damn him, he's dead!" She paused, pointing at Song Jinxing's smile, even more angry, "And you're laughing?"

Song Jinxing gently tapped his chopsticks on the edge of his plate, "Don't curse, eat."

Zhong Ruanxing angrily said, "I've lost my appetite! I'm finding someone to assassinate him tonight!"

Song Jinxing just smiled and shook his head.

Only after he finished the rest of the story did Zhong Ruanxing finally calm down a little, but her brows were still tightly knitted, "But after today's incident, with his vengeful personality he definitely won't let it go. Just afraid he'll use more dirty tricks."

Song Jinxing picked up a piece of bamboo shoot, his expression tranquil, "With me here, he can't make too many waves." He thought of something and looked at Zhong Ruanxing, "But how did you become enemies with him?"

"If you're asking about that, then I'm not tired anymore!"

Zhong Ruanxing excitedly recounted her past exploits: "....So of course when I received an invitation from his entertainment company under the Song Group, I wanted to go! It's a Song company, who wouldn't want to join? I dressed up nicely and went for the audition!"

"The beginning was all pretty normal, just the basic audition process. But at the end Song Lecheng suddenly had everyone else leave, saying he wanted to ask me a personal question. I was already wary at that point, but who could've expected that little bastard to be so brazen as to lay hands on me in broad daylight!"

"I wasn't a newbie anymore at that time, so I didn't panic when this happened! This kind of thing happens all the time in the industry. Unknown artists who suffer sexual harassment by higher-ups basically get no recourse if there's no evidence, even if they make a big fuss the other side just gets lightly criticized. Most negative rumors still end up borne by the victim. Song Lecheng dared to make a move on me because he assumed I was just a little mayfly who couldn't shake the big Song tree."

At this point, Song Jinxing had already stopped picking up food, his expression blank but lips pressed in a tight line.

Those who knew him understood this was a sign of anger.

"He was also smart, there were no heavy objects placed in the audition room, so I couldn't find anything at hand to fight him with. So I just went with the flow..."

Song Jinxing's face darkened severely.

Zhong Ruanxing continued, "By the time he took off his pants, I grabbed the cigarette lighter he had placed to the side earlier and lit his hair down there on fire."

Song Jinxing: "......???"

He thought he had misheard, "What...hair?"

Zhong Ruanxing had an embarrassed expression, shyly saying, "That hair."
