Chapter 513 - 512: Does She Have Cat Disease?
On a brand new Monday, Mu Qiu finally got over the torment of the first two days of her period and started working on her new writing project outline.
Cheng Zhirang had a shoot in the afternoon, so he left after accompanying her for lunch.
She was alone on the large balcony on the second floor, typing away while humming to herself, enjoying the bliss of solitude.
With her thoughts clear, she reconsidered about having dinner with the parents on Thursday.
Maybe it was Cheng Zhirang’s mother who wanted to see her, or maybe she wanted to see how she and Cheng Zhirang got along?
After all, her son hadn’t dated until he was twenty-nine, and rumors of his secret marriage and a child had been spreading like wildfire, which was a real concern.
So this dinner was just a meet-and-greet and didn’t mean the relationship was getting deeper, so she didn’t need to worry too much.
Ping ding.
She received two messages in quick succession and picked up her phone from the sofa to check.
It was a message from the program group chat.
[Different Director Guan: On behalf of everyone, the program group donated a batch of special items to disabled people, like hearing aids, smart wheelchairs, and also a relief fund.]
[Different Director Guan: If you have time, please share the program group’s post on Weibo.]
Guan Yu was the first to suck up in the chat.
[Different Guan Yu: The program group is awesome! I will actively respond to the organization’s call! Reposting immediately! /spinning.gif]
[Different Shu Ran: Guan Yu, you seem very happy?]
[Different Mu Qiu: Did the director force you to post that message? It reeks of scheming from every angle.]
[Different Guan Yu: How could you think that about the program group?!]
[Different Guan Yu: I’m so happy because I received a red envelope first thing in the morning~]
[Different Mu Qiu: Did you send it to yourself and then grab it? I’ve done that too.]
[Different Guan Yu: ...]
[Different Guan Yu: I mean it. Brother Huai sent me a big red envelope!]
[Different Mu Qiu: Now I get it]
[Different Mu Qiu: It’s compensation for beating you up, right]
[Different Shi Yuhuai: I didn’t beat anyone up]
[Different Li Yang: Hahahahahahahaha isn’t the main point something else Brother Huai?!]
[Different Shu Ran: Li Yang laughing hysterically.jpg]
[Different Li Yang: ?? It’s starting again? Competing to see who updates their sticker pack faster?]
[Different Shi Yuhuai: I shared it]
[Different Mu Qiu: I knew I was forgetting something, turns out I forgot to do something important]
Switching tasks, Mu Qiu opened the painfully slow Weibo.
#Mao Dodo suspected of spreading rumors about Mu Qiu plagiarizing# was still all over the screen, with more than 99+ related private messages.
Actually, after she responded to that sarcastic comment on Weibo yesterday, Mao Dodo called her twice.
But she didn’t answer.
So Mao Dodo sent her private messages on Weibo.
Mu Qiu opened them one by one to check until there were no more annoying red dots among the messages, then she happily found the latest post from the program group and was the last one in the group to repost it.
[Mu Qiu V: After trying it, I realize their lives are really inconvenient //Repost: .......]
For the first time logging in after commenting on Mao Dodo, she didn’t explain or accept apologies, she just shared the program group’s post without mentioning anything about plagiarism rumors.
A bunch of bystanders came in with their small stools.
[Is it really Mao spreading rumors?]
[A great white lotus blooms, worthy of being a novelist. If you hadn’t commented, I would’ve believed Mao’s apology.]
[I thought they suddenly apologized to gain attention.]
[Did she really spread rumors about you plagiarizing? What’s wrong with her?]
[What does "unwilling" mean? Unwilling that you stole her spotlight or someone else?]
[Does it have anything to do with Qing Rong softly speaking? I saw him roll his eyes on your comment level.]
[Your comment had me dying of laughter, so sarcastic and shady.]
[Qing Rong is truly handsome and not afraid, are you good friends with him, Qiuqiu?]
[Qiuqiu, did you "comfort" that cat? Is that why she apologized, but her apology didn’t satisfy you, right? /Say I’m smart.jpg]
[Was Brother Cheng’s secret base last night your secret base?]
...
The messages increased rapidly, and Mu Qiu scrolled through them after refreshing.
Couldn’t find Mao Dodo.
She went to check Mao Dodo’s Weibo, but other than yesterday’s evasive apology post, there were no new updates.
Mu Qiu rested her chin as she thought, guessing she must have been hurt by Qing Rong’s eye roll.
Embarrassed, scared, and angry, these emotions mixed together could throw someone’s menstrual cycle off balance.
But it couldn’t be without any reaction.
She sent a message to inquire with Qing Rong.
[Did that cat post on her moments?]
[Qing Rong: Which cat are you talking about? The tabby hasn’t posted anything in a while.]
[The one that trembles.]
[Qing Rong: Oh...her, how would I know?]
[Qing Rong: But she sent me a private message, a voice memo, crying and apologizing]
[?? I’m the victim, and she’s sending you a private apology message? What’s wrong with her?]
[Qing Rong: You said it was that cat, she might have some cat issues. Want me to forward her apology message to you, so we can suffer together?]
[No need, you can suffer alone.]
[She definitely thinks your eye roll is scarier than me revealing her crimes.]
[Qing Rong: I’m not her dad, not that scary]
[Qing Rong: I directly told her she’s too young and should finish college, otherwise the years of compulsory and higher education didn’t show on her at all]
[... If I were that cat, I’d cry my eyes out like walnuts]
[Is this the charm of Qing Rong? Saying such things without getting hit]
[Qing Rong: Because it’s online chat, I can’t get hit]
[Qing Rong: Have you been with your boyfriend recently?]
The topic changed quickly, and Mu Qiu paused for a moment, rolled her eyes, and answered honestly.
[Yeah, why?]
[Qing Rong: We have a small authors’ group, someone posted behind-the-scenes photos of you and Cheng Zhirang yesterday]
[Qing Rong: Is his team hard to get along with?]
The sentence was cut in half, which usually suggests he’s hinting at something.
He probably wanted to say "Does his team dislike you".
Mu Qiu thought about Chen Song and Assistant Wen’s initial reactions and brazenly typed without changing her expression:
[Of course not, yesterday his manager even praised me for choosing a good outfit for our date]
[Qing Rong: That’s good]
[Qing Rong: Celebrities are just ordinary people too, there’s no need to suffer if you’re wronged, pretending everything is fine doesn’t suit you]
[Qing Rong: But who wouldn’t like Mu Xiaohua, look at how many Maple Leaves like you, Cheng Zhirang’s team surely feels the same]
[Makes sense. After all, I’m awesome.]
