?Chapter 186: Chapter 186: So We’ve Known Each Other All Along   Chapter 186: Chapter 186: So We’ve Known Each Other All Along                                   The public opinion is fermenting violently, with some saying Bai Wei is a homewrecker who disrupted the rtionship between Luo Qinghe and Qin Xiaonian, and others iming that Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe are the real couple, with Luo having affairs with Qin behind Bai Wei.


    No matter the version, Bai Wei by herself has topped the trending search list more than ten times, with both positive and negative coverage; she has people cursing her as well as speaking up for her.


    In any event, the inte has exploded, and the Public Rtions Department of He Group has been renderedpletely ineffective.


    This is also the very reason why He Xing is angry with Fu Han. He clearly instructed Fu Han, clearly, if only Fu Han had held on to Bai Wei, none of this would have blown up the way it has.


    Upon hearing this, Bai Wei’s parents were full of sighs, no one expecting that merely a premiere would turn into a battle between the lead actors in a film and a supposed third party.


    After a long silence, the uncle-inw spoke slowly, “We’ve always been against Xiaowei joining the entertainment circle. If this incident really has a big impact, we’ll just take her away.”


    “No,” the aunt held the opposite opinion, “Xiaowei can leave the circle, but not when she’s being unjustly used. Even if we do take her away, we’ll make sure it’s with her name cleared.”


    He Xing didn’t speak, but this was exactly what he was thinking. No matter how fiercely the public opinion fermented, he would not walk away under a cloud of disdain.


    Anothermotion came from down the corridor, and He Xing turned to look. Leading the way was Luo Qiluo, whom he had seen before, the mother of Luo Qinghe; following not far behind her were two men, one recognized as Luo Qinghe’s brother Li Qingjiang, and the other a middle-aged man who should be Luo Qinghe’s father Li Huazhi.


    Luo Qiluo had also spotted He Xing and hurried over to him, shouting gracelessly, “He Xing, I’m telling you, if anything happens to my son, I’ll never forgive you.”


    Before He Xing could open his mouth to reply, his aunt couldn’t hold back any longer and pushed Luo Qiluo away, “Who’s to me for your son’s phndering?”


    By the time she said thest word, her tone had changed, and the look she gave Luo Qiluo was strange, as if witnessing something unbelievable.


    “Bai Qian?” Luo Qiluo looked back at her with a bizarre expression, yet in her gaze lingered an unmistakable trace of spite.


    The two women remained silent, eyeing each other until a voice, filled with world-weariness, broke the silence—it was Li Huazhi: “Xiaoqian, is that you?”


    Bai Qian, the name belonged to Bai Wei’s mother; unexpectedly, it was called out here, and by the parents of Luo Qinghe, no less.


    An incident from the Spring Festival shed through He Xing’s mind again, some aspects of which he still had not figured out, but he started to understand all of a sudden.


    The drastic difference in Luo Qiluo’s attitude toward Bai Wei before and after had only one reason—she had always known who Bai Wei’s mother was. Even worse, she had treated Bai Wei so differently because of her mother.


    At that moment, Li Huazhi moved as though soulless, step by step toward Bai Qian, whose retreat into her husband’s arms only drew him closer.


    Bai Qian’s husband wrapped his arms around her shoulder protectively, eyeing Li Huazhi warily, “What do you want? Please keep your distance from my wife.”


    Li Huazhi seemed to notice Bai Qian’s husband for the first time, sizing him up; a sense of inferiority unknown to him until now crept into his heart.


    All these years, Li Huazhi had poured his entire energy into hispany; while his personal image management wasn’t bad, the protruding beer belly and middle-age spread were all too apparent.


    Yet, none of these middle-aged male issues were to be found on Bai Qian’s husband. Tall and straight, with thick, medium-length hair and wless, pale skin, he was theplete antithesis of greasiness.


    Li Huazhi forced a smile, though it carried a hint of destion, he still maintained hisposure and extended a hand, “Hello, my name is Li Huazhi, Bai Qian’s… senior ssmate.”


    “Fu Xingbo, Bai Qian’s husband,” Fu Xingbo reached out his hand, clean and slender, his nails neatly trimmed.


    A polite exchange followed between the two men, but He Xing had no interest in listening to these empty pleasantries. He was more interested in the reactions of the twodies.


    Bai Qian stoodposedly next to her husband, asionally exchanging nces with him, while Luo Qiluo waspletely ignored by Li Huazhi. Despite all efforts to maintain a smile, anyone could see hers was a forced grin.


    The awkward atmosphere persisted until the doors to the Emergency Rooms opened, and as expected by He Xing, out came Luo Qinghe and Bai Wei.


    Both had bandages wrapped around their heads and arms, eyes closed as theyy on the gurneys, but fortunately, there weren’t many tubes attached to them.


    The doctor’s conclusions for both were simr—they were not in life-threatening condition, but when they would awaken depended on their willpower.


    The parents followed their respective children’s gurneys, leaving He Xing alone in the corridor. Finally, his ears got some quiet, but his heart began to ache again—Fu Han was still being resuscitated inside.


    People hustled along the corridor, some searching for someone, some seeking medical attention, some handling hospital admissions, others undergoing various check-ups. Each was absorbed in their own story, with no time to feel the pain of others.


    He Xing leaned against a chair, his head resting on the cold wall, silently praying in his heart.


    The phone in his pocket vibrated—a call from Liang Tao. As the call connected, Liang Tao’s sociable voice immediately rang out, “President He, it’s bad news. There’s been a massive outbreak online about your affair with Miss Fu.”


    Strangely, hearing the bad news this time, He Xing’s heart didn’t stir at all. Or maybe his heart had already calmed, imperturbable even if the sky were falling.


    Nevertheless, he still went online to check.


    The issue began with those two ps Bai Wei delivered to Qin Xiaonian, whichizens interpreted wildly. Some noticed Fu Han appearing in the video, looking on coldly without intervening.


    Then, people started condemning both Fu Han and Bai Wei as birds of a feather and dug into Fu Han’s past, revisiting the scandals Yang Kaitai had orchestrated to be leaked online.


    Next were a mix of true and false leaks from the crew, saying He Xing and Xia Ning were originally a couple. During the filming of “Yearning for Return,” Fu Han used various schemes to snatch He Xing away, while still being Su Cheng’s girlfriend.


    After taking it all in, He Xing called Liang Tao back, “I don’t care what you do, but I will not allow anyone to attack Xiaohan on the inte.”


    Less than a minute after he hung up, the Emergency Room door opened, and several doctors emerged first, followed by Fu Han being wheeled out on a stretcher.
