Chapter 249 - Playing The Damsel In Distress

Chapter 249: Playing The Damsel In Distress

Li Yi felt as though the devil and angel were having a furious war in his heart.

“Of course, we have to tell President Huo! This concerns Yun Qing! If President Huo finds out on his own, you’ll be the one in trouble!”

“No, we can’t tell President Huo. President Huo’s body hasn’t recovered, to begin with. If he gets worked up, it’ll be even harder for him to recover!”

...

Li Yi stood at Huo Chuan’s door and hesitated. Just as he was about to make up his mind, Huo Chuan opened the office door and bumped into him, giving Li Yi a fright.

“What are you doing here?” Huo Chuan frowned.

A sense of oppression came over him. Li Yi trembled in fear and stammered, “M-president Huo, I have something that I don’t know if I should say.”

Huo Chuan was baffled and said coldly, “Speak.”

Li Yi took a deep breath and had no choice but to take out his phone and turn on the variety live stream.

“M-president Yun has gone to participate in this variety show. There’s also that Meng Hong and your younger brother, Huo Zhou.”

Upon hearing that, Huo Chuan snatched the phone from Li Yi’s hand and stared at the screen.

On the screen, it was the scene of Yun Qing and Meng Hong traversing through the forest together.

Meng Hong was protecting Yun Qing wherever they went, afraid that she would get hurt. Zhao Jia, who was at the side, looked like a third wheel that was ruining the mood.

The audience on the bullet screen were cheering for Yun Qing and Meng Hong. There were even quite a number of people who were clamoring to move the civil affairs bureau to the two of them.

Just as Li Yi expected, Huo Chuan’s expression only darkened. A storm was brewing.

“President Huo, please, please don’t be angry...”

“Where are they filming this? Take me there!” Huo Chuan said in a low voice. He threw the phone to Li Yi and left in large strides.

Li Yi could only catch up to Huo Chuan and drive him to the tropical rainforest park where Yun Qing was filming her variety show.

When Yun Qing realized that Zhao Jia wanted to use Meng Hong to hype up the show, she knew that she would most likely be a burden.

As expected, when they were crossing the forest, Zhao Jia twisted her ankle at the perfect moment. This time, Meng Hong did not catch her in time. She fell to the ground and let out a blood-curdling scream.

Yun Qing frowned coldly. The kind-hearted Meng Hong even ran to her side and asked anxiously, “Zhao Jia, are you okay?”

Zhao Jia’s eyes were red. She gritted her teeth and nodded. She was about to get up, but the next second, she moaned in pain again.

“Meng... Meng Hong, can you carry me?”

Zhao Jia was sure this was the time to strike. It was not too much to ask Meng Hong to carry an injured lady, so she just said it bluntly.

Meng Hong’s expression froze. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “If I carry you, my efficiency will be much lower. Can you walk now? If you really can’t walk, I’ll ask the director to send someone to take you to the doctor.”

Zhao Jia never thought that Meng Hong would reject her. She quickly said, “No, no need! I can still make it! Help me up, I’ll get up!” f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

Now that she was “physically disabled but mentally strong,” she might still be able to draw some headlines.

If she just left, she would not have any screen time!

As a girl who had just made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, this opportunity was very rare for her. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄e𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

She needed to be popular, so that she could have more resources later.

Although she had wanted to climb up to Huo Chuan’s high position, the chances of her meeting Huo Chuan were far and few.

As expected, after Zhao Jia stood up with Meng Hong’s help, the bullet screen was filled with praises for her.

“It’s not easy for Zhao Jia. She’s already injured, yet she still wants to continue. She’s really dedicated!”

“This little girl is not bad. She’s not like the typically pampered celebrity.”

“Yun Qing is such an ice queen. She doesn’t even care if her teammates are injured... Zhao Jia is so pitiful...”

..

Huo Chuan saw that someone was badmouthing Yun Qing in the comments. He was furious and immediately retorted in the comments section.

“It’s obvious that Zhao Jia is pretending to be pitiful! Why should Yun Qing take any blame?”

“Yun Qing is smart and strong. She’s a thousand times better than this Zhao Jia who’s pretending to be weak!”

“Zhao Jia is just a burden!”

Li Yi walked beside Huo Chuan. When he caught a glimpse of his phone screen, he could not help but be stunned.

Oh my God, president Huo had actually been watching the live stream for Yun Qing and even spoke up to defend her! It was truly rare!

Could this be the power of love?!
