Chapter 372: Crying Like A Fool
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“No matter what, we will always support him!”
Gu Qinghua was fine even when she was being scolded, but when she saw s.h.i.+ Jin being abused online, her face turned red. “What exactly happened to Hu Guangquan?”
s.h.i.+ Jin took her phone out and glanced at it. “A gra.s.shopper after autumn can’t jump much.”
“I’m really sorry, s.h.i.+ Jin, for dragging you into my matters.”
“Was I supposed to just watch you get defiled by that beast?” s.h.i.+ Jin retorted.
“Mm… well, what should we do now?” Gu Qinghua was very worried. This kind of situation was difficult to resolve.
Moreover, these situations would always favor the male side in the end. Women naturally had no advantage in this kind of battle of public opinion.
“Don’t worry about that. His fans don’t have much of an advantage anyway. He’ll come and find me in a few days. You’ll just have to bear some pressure.”
Gu Qinghua nodded heavily. Whatever s.h.i.+ Jin said, she definitely had her reasons. If she hadn’t met s.h.i.+ Jin, she would really be dead by now.
Hu Guangquan’s fans made a lot of noise, but if they really wanted to step on s.h.i.+ Jin, her fans would not give them a chance.
s.h.i.+ Jin’s fans quickly organized themselves and faced his fans without any fear.
“There’s no need for this, Little Stone. If there’s anything wrong with her, you guys can just say it out loud. If your idol’s a man, then he just say it out loud too. What’s there to hide?”
“Little Stone has been very busy recently, so I don’t have time to argue with you guys. Please ask your so-called older brother what problems he has.”
s.h.i.+ Jin had a lot of fans as well. Although she had debuted as a celebrity, she had never had a direct confrontation with anyone in the industry.
Everyone wanted to see where Hu Guangquan was getting his courage from.
In the end, Hu Guangquan’s fans gave up. s.h.i.+ Jin’s songs were the first to be released in the industry. The results that she had achieved were real and her contributions to the country were not to be underestimated.
As for Hu Guangquan, no one would recognize him when he spoke his own language.
His fans could only focus on scolding Gu Qinghua. However, for a man to gather his fans to scold a female artist for no reason… This matter made pa.s.sers-by feel very uncomfortable.
Everyone sympathized with Gu Qinghua instead.

On the weekend:
The ‘Goofy Sky Group’ was bustling with noise and excitement. They had arranged to celebrate s.h.i.+ Jin being admitted to university.
After arranging the time and place, He Ziheng went to make arrangements and shared the address in the group.
Fu Xiuyuan and s.h.i.+ Jin followed the address and drove into the underground parking lot.
When the car entered, s.h.i.+ Jin received a call. She got out of the car while Fu Xiuyuan went to park.
She stood still and picked up the call. It was Yao Jiahong calling to inform her about some work arrangements.
s.h.i.+ Jin quickly ended the call and saw two people getting out of a car.
It was s.h.i.+ Xuexin and Chu Jia.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin walked forward. “s.h.i.+ Jin, what a coincidence.”
Chu Jia pouted and muttered, “What a coincidence. Who knows if she’s here to see my cousin?”
Now that s.h.i.+ Xuexin was facing s.h.i.+ Jin, she felt more confident. She smiled and said, “s.h.i.+ Jin, are you here to meet your friend? Do you want to come with us?”
Chu Jia added, “This time, Xuexin won fourth place in the National Selection Compet.i.tion! Fourth in the country! We’re holding a celebration party for her here.”
s.h.i.+ Jin lifted her eyelids and asked lightly, “Can someone ranked fourth partic.i.p.ate in the semi-finals and finals?”
s.h.i.+ Xuexin and Chu Jia felt suffocated.
Only the top three could partic.i.p.ate, unless there were other ways for someone to send their practice videos to the judges and get recommendations from those with authority.
Chu Jia was proud of s.h.i.+ Xuexin. “Although we can’t go for the time being, getting fourth place out of the whole country is already impressive enough! This is cla.s.sical music. Furthermore, Xuexin has pa.s.sed the preliminaries of the Ivy League Composer Compet.i.tion. These are completely different from those common songs!”
“Oh,” s.h.i.+ Jin replied calmly.
Chu Jia had attacked with a heavy blow, thinking that she could catch s.h.i.+ Jin off guard. Unexpectedly, it was as if the punch had landed on cotton, making her unable to muster any more energy.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin then said casually, “Say nothing more. Jiajia, Brother Chu Ling won’t even allow us to talk about these things. He’s very low-key. He will only announce our relations.h.i.+p after I’ve won the Ivy League compet.i.tion. Don’t say anymore.”
She thought that showing off about Chu Ling would cause s.h.i.+ Jin to be moved. Unfortunately, s.h.i.+ Jin was looking down at her phone as if she had not heard the words at all.
“s.h.i.+ Jin, did you hear that?” Chu Jia asked.
“Hear what?” s.h.i.+ Jin really had not heard anything. He Ziheng was talking in the group chat and she told them that she was in the parking lot.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin smiled and said, “It’s nothing. We’ll be leaving then.”
Chu Jia said in a low voice, “s.h.i.+ Jin is playing dumb. Didn’t you see it?”
“She’s acting like this because she’s sad,” s.h.i.+ Xuexin said calmly. “She’s pretending not to hear me, but who knows what she’s thinking?”
She had a premonition that on the day she and Chu Ling announced things in public, s.h.i.+ Jin would cry like an idiot.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin felt a special thrill of revenge. s.h.i.+ Jin had stayed with the s.h.i.+ family for twelve more years, causing her to be forced to live a life without comfort for twelve years in a small town.
Every time she thought about the twelve years she’d wasted, she thought that at the s.h.i.+s, the piano and violin teachers would have been better than the ones in town, so her own efforts would have been more productive and she would be more talented now. As she currently was, she could only get fourth place.
If she had learned from her aunt long ago, she would probably be able to appear at the finals of the Chopin compet.i.tion now, right? She would only be truly happy when she really beat s.h.i.+ Jin.
s.h.i.+ Jin was replying to a WeChat message when Fu Xiuyuan walked over and asked in a low voice, “Who was that just now?”
“An unimportant pa.s.serby.” s.h.i.+ Jin looked up and laughed.
Fu Xiuyuan reached out to take her hand and walked towards the elevator with her.
The Goofy Sky Group was already a.s.sembled in the private room. Fu Xiuyuan and s.h.i.+ Jin entered at the appointed time.
As soon as s.h.i.+ Jin entered the room, ribbons and sparkling pieces fell on her and Fu Xiuyuan.
He Ziheng took the lead. “Congratulations, sis-in-law! You got into the school you like!”
“Our s.h.i.+ Jin is the best!”
Pei Junyi, Lan Tian, and Qiao Zhuoli’s smiles were also glittering.
s.h.i.+ Jin smiled. “Thank you, everyone.”
She looked up to see Fu Xiuyuan looking down at her with happy eyes.
Pei Junyi took out two bottles of Crimson Pearl wine. “Although these two bottles aren’t as good as the ones Little Sister-in-law gave us last time, they taste pretty good. Let’s drink them tonight.”
Fu Xiuyuan said nothing. He turned to look at s.h.i.+ Jin.
s.h.i.+ Jin didn’t know if she should agree to let him drink it.
He leaned down and whispered, “Little Missy.”
It was very dangerous for a cold and abstinent man to act so flirtatiously.. s.h.i.+ Jin’s ears were filled with him, and a deep s.h.i.+ver ran down her spine.
