Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Waiting for a Movie Premiere

Several times, Tuantuan just had superficial injuries, yet the total of various examination fees, treatment costs, and hospitalization fees on the diagnosis form added up to almost fifty thousand.

Qiao Yuxi immediately instructed her assistant to post this evidence on Weibo and played an audio in the live stream of Nurse Yang identifying Doctor Jiang and Shi Wenxuan conspiring to swindle money.

Xu Ying also explained the whole story to the live stream audience beside her: “Shi Wenxuan abused the dog, Tuantuan, and falsely claimed that the dog hurt itself out of bad behavior. He took the dog to Xinghai Hospital for treatment each time, colluding with Doctor Jiang to forge pet medical records, prescribing exorbitant medical fees every time, and they split the money they cheated out of Qiao Yuxi.”

This sudden turn of events took Zou Ying by surprise, “This must be fake, it’s you who bribed the nurse to frame my buddy.”

Qiao Yuxi played another secretly recorded audio by Nurse Yang, containing a conversation between Shi Wenxuan and Doctor Jiang discussing how to split the money.

Former supporters of Shi Wenxuan and Zou Ying, listening to the clear audio, were dumbfounded, and the scrolling comments suddenly paused due to the shock.

Xu Ying’s fans, who all love little animals, clenched their fists upon hearing this.

[Damn, such scum, the swindling methods are vile.]

[A freeloader who’s not satisfied with freeloading but also scams money, who on earth is exploiting the little animals, may I ask Shi Wenxuan’s steadfast buddies?]

“You always say money tarnishes friendships. Well, money has tainted the pure feelings of your so-called good buddy.”

Qiao Yuxi flipped through the bills of medical expenses and diagnostic documents on her phone: “Take a look yourself, your most affectionate good buddy in the entire internet, in order to extract money from me, abuses dogs and conspires with Doctor Jiang to fraudulently charge for the dog’s medical fees.”

Xu Ying looked at Zou Ying who was stupefied and continuously scrolling through his phone, seemingly attempting to verify if the evidence was fake, she shrugged: “The words you just said are beyond ridiculous. Shi Wenxuan obviously enjoys the benefits of Yu Xi’s money and resources, yet portrays himself as some deeply affectionate pure-hearted person, only loving Qiao Yuxi, now what? Does your face hurt?”

“You wouldn’t be supporting Shi Wenxuan like this without gaining quite a bit of benefit yourself, right?”

Qiao Yuxi pointed at the recording information on the phone screen: “I took a look at the new song recording studio where you and Shi Wenxuan collaborated, it was funded by me.”

“If you have such integrity, take your new song off the shelf and rerecord another version yourself, after all, you didn’t pay me any venue fee for using my recording studio. Or you could help Shi Wenxuan pay back the money he swindled from me.”

Xu Ying then wrote “Return Money” with a marker on an A4 paper.

After whispering to the five little foxes, the five fox cubs immediately raised the A4 paper with the words “Return Money” written on it, their cheeks puffed up angrily.

Xu Ying’s fans found the fox cubs waving the “Return Money” banner hilariously funny.

[The fox cubs are too cute, screenshot and make an emoji pack! The live stream is really fantastic.]

[I told you, trust in the character of our host, don’t side with this opportunistic fan-networker Zou Ying. Judging by the manner of things, this scam is probably just one of the many malicious deeds Shi Wenxuan has done.]

[These days, Zou Ying gained a million followers by voicing support for his good buddy Shi Wenxuan and even landed a new variety show collaboration, he’s raking in quite the traffic.]

[Someone who spends all day with fluffy little animals, and someone who navigates the murky waters of the entertainment industry with ease, who should we believe? The answer is obvious.]

At this moment, Zou Ying’s face turned somewhat pale, his hands shaking as he held the phone, “These so-called pieces of evidence must be Photoshopped, wait, I’m going to find someone to authenticate its genuineness now.”

“Come on, according to our national law, posting rumors online that are shared over five hundred times can lead to imprisonment.”

Xu Ying tilted her head: “We have over two hundred thousand people in the live stream now, do you think we’d take the risk of imprisonment for this stunt?”

“You’re free to leave but remember, when Shi Wenxuan and the boss of Flavor World Foods are caught, be sure to come to the live stream to fulfill our bet, the whole internet knows of it now.”

“My buddy would never break the law! He’s innocent!”

Zou Ying hastily disconnected the live call after saying this.

The reversal happened too quickly; many netizens in the live stream who initially supported Shi Wenxuan didn’t know how to respond and could only stubbornly argue.

Realizing that something wasn’t right, some people began to suspect that Shi Wenxuan was truly someone who’d stop at nothing, and… they wanted to sell off their Flavor World Foods shares, only to find out that the stock market’s trading hours had ended.

Today is Friday, and the next market opening isn’t until Monday morning.

After the scandal of Shi Wenxuan swindling money broke, the voices against Qiao Yuxi suddenly weakened, more and more people began supporting her, although she no longer cared much about online opinions—this is an era of both idol-making and idol-breaking.

After undergoing so many ordeals, she’s developed a strong heart and now only cares about her uncle, Tuantuan, and Xu Ying.

After the broadcast, Qiao Yuxi walked out of the sanctuary, watching the desert sand rise and fall, she stretched her arms leisurely.

Xu Ying led the little foxes out for some activity, knowing Ling Yu’s hurdle training time was approaching, she planned to apply medicine to the cheetah coach’s mouth when he arrived.

Watching Qiao Yuxi’s back, Xu Ying curiously asked, “What plans do you have next?”

Many who survive life-and-death ordeals end up with psychological shadows or disorders, Xu Ying felt a bit worried.

“I’ve started a film company, and I want to shoot my first film but couldn’t find a suitable script.”

“Feeling anxious and troubled due to writer’s block, I was attracted by Shi Wenxuan’s description of the vastness of the desert sky and came here to change my mood.”

Qiao Yuxi shook her head: “I didn’t expect to encounter such events.”

Xu Ying comfortingly patted her back.

Qiao Yuxi continued: “However, although this brush with death wasn’t all bad, I already have a new film concept!”

She spoke with conviction: “I plan to turn my experience of Shi Wenxuan setting me up for murder into a movie.”

Having been thrown in the desert for three days and nights, Qiao Yuxi struggled countless times to survive, thinking she wouldn’t make it out, but held on till her last breath, eventually meeting her savior.

There is no inspiration as profound as such an immersive experience.

Hearing this, Xu Ying’s eyes brightened, seeing Qiao Yuxi find a goal through such hardships was a good sign: “Then I’ll wait for your invitation to the movie premiere!”

Qiao Yuxi nodded firmly: “Definitely! I hope to invite you by next year! Gonna get this project rolling fast!”

She glanced at the setting sun and sheepishly asked: “It’s getting late today, can I stay at your rescue station for a night?”

“Of course! Didn’t you want to see the desert sky?”

Xu Ying lifted the ear fox’s paws as she waved: “I’ll watch with you alongside these little critters, ensuring you feel completely secure!”

“However, there will be big fluffy creatures appearing later, don’t be afraid.”

“Oh, and there’s a new friend to introduce to you.”
