Back Then, I Adored You

Lin Yi suddenly stopped when she was three feet away from Qin Zhi’ai. She pushed the young assistant forward, glared at Qin Zhi’ai, and asked aggressively, “Liang Doukou, is this your assistant?”

She pushed the young assistant forward extremely roughly. The young assistant stumbled forward a few steps, almost knocking herself into the wall in the process.

Luckily, Qin Zhi’ai had quick reflexes. She grabbed the young assistant’s arm in time. After she made sure the young assistant was fine, she frowned and looked at Lin Yi. “What are you doing?”

“What am I doing? Liang Doukou, I should be the one asking you that. Or you should ask your assistant what she did.” Lin Yi sneered at the young assistant behind Qin Zhi’ai.

The assistant seemed to be scared. She stood there in shock and shook her head, but couldn’t say anything.

“What’s wrong? Are you dumb? Weren’t you just fine at talking on the phone in the bathroom?” Lin Yi looked like she held disdain for the girl. “It’s fine. If you don’t want to tell her, I can do it for you.”

As she just finished saying “you,” Lin Yi turned to look at Qin Zhi’ai. She sounded like a recording machine and repeated exactly what she had overheard in the bathroom as the young assistant had talked on the phone. “Liang Doukou, do you know what your assistant said as she was gossiping on the phone in the bathroom? She said you always make fun of me in front of your staff. You said I, Lin Yi, was an unqualified and incompetent actress. You said that I shouldn’t have fought with you for popularity. You said I had no shame. She also said you didn’t see eye to eye with me and wanted to put me down and even force me out of the entertainment field.”

“She did not.” Zhou Jing was standing not too far from them. Her face changed a bit after she saw everyone at the scene hear what Lin Yi had said. She intervened just in time.

Lin Yi was right. The young assistant had said those things. However, it was only because Zhou Jing had told the young assistant to do so.

Zhou Jing had done this to force Lin Yi into a rage. She wanted Lin Yi to give Qin Zhi’ai a hard time.

However, a hard time was just a hard time. She didn’t want Lin Yi to completely ruin Liang Doukou’s reputation. After Zhou Jing interrupted Lin Yi, she walked casually up to them in her high heels.

After she stood still for a moment, she didn’t even look at Lin Yi. She turned directly to the young assistant. “Did you say what Miss Lin just claimed?”

The young assistant and Zhou Jing had planned this scene. Tears immediately welled in the young assistant’s eyes after Zhou Jing interrogated her. The young assistant seemed to have just recovered from the shock. She looked vulnerable and wronged. She shook her head and said, “Sis Zhou, I didn’t say any of that. I didn’t even bring my cell phone into the bathroom. My cell phone is still in Sis Liang’s dressing room.”

The young assistant took her earbuds out as she talked.

There was an MP3 player connected to the earbuds.

Lin Yi looked shocked when she saw the MP3 player.

It wasn’t possible. This young assistant had been talking into the microphone on the earbuds when she had walked into the restroom. How could it have been an MP3 player?

Thinking about the situation, Lin Yi moved forward and grabbed the young assistant. She reached her hand into the young assistant’s pockets to search them.

The young assistant looked scared and turned with pleading eyes for help from Zhou Jing.
