Chapter 38 - An Abrupt Turn of event ("Both her
and her fox belong to me.") (3)

Everybody knew that Chang Yuqi and Xu Lisa
hadn't gotten along since the very first day. And most of the back-stabbing incidents were done by Chang Yuqi, so nobody was surprised to hear that.

Chang Yuqi paused for a second, clearly she hadn't
expected that Xu Lisa would notice that it was her
who took the pictures. But then, she thought to herself, so what if she knew? Xu Lisa was well hated by most and didn't have a lot of authority. Even if Xu Lisa wasn't to say something negative about her
on Weibo, nobody would believe her. As such, Chang Yuqi curved her lips again and mocked. "True.
Lisa-jie probably had never been that high up on
the most trended searches before. No publicity is bad publicity, right?"

Xu Lisa nodded and went along with what Chang Yuqi had said, "You are most certainly right. This is
just the beginning. We don't know whether it is going
to be good or bad publicity just yet."

Xu Lisa's nonchalant mannerism baffled Chang Yuqi. even though Xu Lisa had been scolded by the entire internet quite often since her debut, this time there was quite a bit of profanity in the comment section. It just wasn't normal that she was so... chill about all this.

Chang Yuqi changed the direction of the conversation abruptly and dragged out Mu Jungkook.

"Well, as long as Lisa-jie didn't do anything wrong,
I guess it didn't matter that some of your pictures
were posted.... I wonder what Mr. Mu would say when he sees this trended search. You think what you have said about being by his side no matter what would still hold?"

Xu Lisa cocked her head nonchalantly and smiled
at her. "Who knows?"

Suddenly, her phone rang. She waved it in front of
Chang Yuqi and said, "I need to take this. Laters."

It was Lin Jennie who called her. Lin's very
solemn voice came over the phone as soon as Xu Lisa picked it up. "Lisa, what's with the trended
search today? It was so sudden that it caught me off
guard."

Xu Lisa was calmed and confident. "Nothing serious. All we need to do is to wait for Jiang Taehyung's response."

Lin Jennie didn't follow and raised her voice. "Jiang Taehyung? You meant to wait till he says something else to take a shot at us too? By then it'd be too late!"

"Don't worry. Jen-jie. I got dirt on him. He won't
take a shot at all. Quite the contrary, he will clarify
things for me and face slap everybody else online."

Having said that, Xu Lisa saw from a distance
the director waving at everybody to get ready
for filming. She stood up and said, "I need to start
working. Don't worry, Jen-jie. Just wait and see."

She hung up the phone, straightened out her hair, and
walked over to her spot in a charming and graceful
manner.

Looking at her from afar, Chang Yuqi balled her
hands into fists.

By 10 AM that morning, Jiang Taehyung finally spoke up. He even reposted Chang Yuqi's Weibo and
called her out.

[Chang Yuqi, this was not miss Xu Lisa trying to
scam me. I hope you will learn the truth before you
speak up and not encourage rumors. I reached out
to Xu Lisa last night to discuss some work matters.
Miss Xu wasn't trying to leech off of my popularity.
Regardless of whether you are a fan of mine or
just a bystander, I hope the attacks toward Miss Xu
would cease immediately. Otherwise, I would assist
Miss Xu in prosecutive the culprits unconditionally.]

Abrupt change of event caused the mouths of
everyone who read the message to drop.

This was big.
