Chapter 518 Lost Your Mind
The timing was perfect. As soon as the reporters arrived, they noticed Ouyang Qing’s sports car and an eye-catching woman dressed in pajamas sitting in the car.
Of course, the reporters had their own transport. Hence, they started chasing after the car.
The pursuers were not only reporters but there were also ordinary netizens who were live streaming.
Recently, there was not much difference between professional and non-professional “reporters.” In fact, anyone could be a reporter as long as they had a phone that came with internet access, which would allow them to post breaking news at any time.
Meanwhile, Tang Jing controlled the speed of the car well. It was not too slow, yet not too fast that could cause the pursuers to lose her.
Just like that, they continued pursuing her while filming her throughout the journey.
It was not until Tang Jing reached the suburbs that she stopped the car.
Immediately, the reporters and netizens who came in their own transportations surrounded her.
The scene looked like a mini press conference with Tang Jing as the main character of the news.
“Why are you people chasing after me?” Tang Jing asked, looking into the camera.
“Ms. Ouyang, why are you running away? Your live stream was really interesting. Why didn’t you continue with it? Is it because the Nan family has fallen out with Nan Xing?”
Even though it was a sharp question, it did not matter to Tang Jing since she was not the person involved.
“Ms. Ouyang? You guys are looking for Ms. Ouyang? Then why are you pursuing me?” Tang Jing did not take off her mask, deliberately holding them in suspense.
She wanted to rouse their curiosity before telling them the truth in order to create a shocking effect.
“Aren’t you Ms. Ouyang? Anyway, may I know if you like Nan Chen or Nan Xing?” a reporter asked.
“You’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m not Ms. Ouyang. All of you should’ve clarified this before pursuing me,” said Tang Jing.
“That’s impossible. This is Ms. Ouyang’s car, and you’re Ms. Ouyang. We didn’t make a mistake.” As the reporter was saying this, the other pursuers had also arrived.
Seeing that, Tang Jing alighted the car and leaned on it, striking a pose she believed to be attractive and letting the crowd take as many photos as they wanted.
After that, she slowly removed her cap, mask, and sunglasses.
“She’s not Ouyang Qing!” someone exclaimed.
“But why is she wearing Ouyang Qing’s pajamas from the live stream?”
“This must be a switcheroo! Ouyang Qing has escaped!” One of the reporters suddenly realized what was going on.
“This person looks like the supporting actress from the new drama.”
“That’s right! She’s the one who acted with Ding Mi.”
A wave of annoyance washed over Tang Jing when she noticed how Ding Mi was the first person who came to their mind when they saw her.
Who cares about Ding Mi? She’s just someone who hooked up with Nan Chen. What makes her so impressive that they only remember her in the drama?
“Hello everyone, I’m Tang Jing,” she greeted.
Since they could not recall her name, she had no choice but to announce it herself.
“Oh, that’s right! She’s Tang Jing, the highly educated celebrity.”
“Ah, I remember now. That’s her, all right. But why is she wearing Ouyang Qing’s pajamas?”
“Isn’t it obvious? This is all a distraction. She and Ouyang Qing are friends. So, she’s in charge of driving us away while Ouyang Qing leaves.”
“Is that true, Ms. Tang? Why were you at the hotel? Do you have anything to do with that incident?” a reporter questioned.
“What incident? I don’t get what you’re talking about,” Tang Jing answered, feigning ignorance.
“When Ms. Ouyang appeared in the live stream earlier, she was wearing this set of pajamas. Why is it on you now? Besides, we followed you because you were driving her car. Are you purposely doing this to distract us so Ouyang Qing could leave?”
Tang Jing smiled. “Is Ms. Ouyang a fugitive? Why would she run away?”
“So, you admit you’re involved in the matter?”
“I’m not admitting anything. Then again, Ms. Ouyang is my friend. I hope no one defames her. If not, we’ll take necessary legal measures,” Tang Jing warned.
The fact that she was using the word “we” was the same as admitting she was working with Ouyang Qing.
“Ms. Tang, since you know about this matter, could you tell us more about it?”
To their dismay, Tang Jing continued beating around the bush. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she stated. “These pajamas are mine. As for the car, Ms. Ouyang lent it to me, but this doesn’t mean anything. You guys talked about something about distraction earlier. I have no idea what it’s about, so, if there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave.”
Since she had managed to achieve her objective, there was no point staying there. Hence, she got into the luxurious car coolly.
At that moment, she felt as though she could control the entire world. Even the luxurious car could be hers one day.
Meanwhile, a private room in Orchid Club looked like a mess. Ouyang Qing had thrown everything that could be smashed onto the floor.
At the same time, the crowd stood far away for fear of being injured by those antiques and wine bottles that were being thrown across the room.
Coincidentally, Feng Jialing was in Flower City. Thus, she arrived at the club in just a short amount of time.
The moment she stepped into the room, she was almost hit by one of the items Ouyang Qing threw.
“Qing, what are you doing? What’s the point of going mad now? Please calm down!” she reprimanded.
Seeing Feng Jialing, Ouyang Qing immediately ran over to hug her and started bursting into tears.
Feng Jialing held her daughter in her arms, feeling bad for the latter. “It’s okay. Everything’s fine now. There, there. No more crying.”
“How am I supposed to appear in public now that things are like this?” Ouyang Qing wailed.
“It’s no big deal. You’re still young, after all. There’s nothing wrong with youngsters acting a little out of line. Everyone has gone through that phase before. There’s no need to be so hard on yourself,” Feng Jialing assured.
Truth was, she was quite mad about it. In fact, she even had the urge to yell at her daughter when she was on her way.
However, Feng Jialing did not have the heart to do so when she saw how miserable Ouyang Qing seemed. After all, the latter was her precious daughter.
Finally, Ouyang Qing stopped crying. Anger filled her heart as she gritted her teeth and cursed, “It’s all Ding Mi’s fault. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have to do such things. And Nan Xing… I can’t believe he tricked me. I hate them! I want them to die!”
“Now that you’re calmer, we should start thinking of how to explain this to your father. He doesn’t know about this yet, but it won’t be long till he finds out. He’s a prideful man. If this matter causes him to be humiliated, he’ll be furious. We must come up with an excuse to deal with this,” Feng Jialing said.
“My mind is in a mess now. I don’t even know what I should do!”
“What happened to you? Why were you so foolish to do such things? I can’t believe you even installed a camera to film the broadcast. Aren’t you usually the smart one? How could you make such a rudimentary mistake?” Feng Jialing asked, feeling upset.
“Please stop scolding me, Mom. Now that things have come to this point, you’ve got to help me find a way out of this. I don’t want to be scolded by others and be labeled as a shameless person. I won’t accept this. I must win Nan Chen over!” Ouyang Qing declared firmly.
“You’ve lost your mind. Nan Chen might be a good person, but he’s not the only good man on earth. Why do you have to keep targeting him? Anyway, you must not meet your father for the time being. Leave the country and stay hidden there for a few days. I’ll talk to your father and come up with a solution for this. Your personal affair isn’t much, but our family’s reputation is at stake. I’m sure your father must be livid right now.”
