I Stole the Male Lead's White Moonlight [Transmigration] - Chapter 34

Zhu Xinya returned to her room, took a shower, and changed into the new pajamas Fangfang had bought for her. Leaning against the headboard, she sent a video call request to Que Hanfu.

Almost as soon as Zhu Xinya’s phone rang, Que Hanfu answered.

Que Hanfu was wearing a snow-white bathrobe, her tea-colored long hair cascading over her shoulders. Her delicate collarbones peeked out from the collar, and droplets of water trickled down her slender neck, pooling in the seductive hollows of her collarbones.

Zhu Xinya swallowed hard, nearly choking on her own saliva at the sight.

The moment she laid eyes on Que Hanfu, four words flashed through her mind: vivid and alluring.

Just thinking about being liked by such a perfect Que Hanfu made Zhu Xinya want to immediately agree to let her pursue her.

No, no, Zhu Xinya, you have to hold back. You promised to wait until after the engagement is called off.

Que Hanfu’s cheeks were glistening with moisture, her eyelashes curled and lifted, her eyes like glass beads submerged in water, and her lips red and tempting Zhu Xinya couldn’t help but wonder if they were as soft as they looked.

“Ahem, sis, did you just finish showering too? What a coincidence.” Zhu Xinya quickly shifted her focus. She’d already had that kind of dream, who knew if her next thoughts would be inappropriate for younger audiences.

Que Hanfu’s gaze swept past the rabbit hairband on Zhu Xinya’s head and settled on her rosy, dewy cheeks. “Did you buy the pajamas yourself?”

Pink and tender, like an adorable little rabbit spirit that had stumbled into the human world Que Hanfu was momentarily stunned when she first saw her, taking a while to regain her composure. She was grateful Zhu Xinya hadn’t noticed.

Zhu Xinya reached up and touched one of the rabbit ears, grinning. “Cute, right? My mom bought them for me.”

Que Hanfu pressed her lips together, her eyes following Zhu Xinya’s hand to the rabbit ears, her gaze almost tangible. “Mm, cute.” I want to touch them.

Sensing that Que Hanfu seemed quite fond of her rabbit ears, Zhu Xinya noticed her glancing at the top of her head from time to time. “Sis, tomorrow I’ll ask my mom where she bought the pajamas and get you a set. You’d definitely look even cuter in them.”

Seeing Zhu Xinya’s enthusiastic expression, Que Hanfu couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

She just enjoyed watching Zhu Xinya wear the little rabbit pajamas.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Xinya noticed Que Hanfu’s hair was still dripping and urged her to go blow-dry it.

Before hanging up, Que Hanfu said softly, “Wear them for me again next week.”

Zhu Xinya had mentioned that she would be able to break off her engagement with Li Heng by next week.

Zhu Xinya’s face flushed instantly. “We’ll talk about it then. Bye~”

Tapping the red button to end the call, Zhu Xinya covered her face and flopped sideways, curling her petite body into a ball.

Sis is just too good at flirting, I’m no match for her at all.

At midnight, the alarm Zhu Xinya had set went off precisely.

Preoccupied with thoughts, she had been sleeping lightly and opened her eyes immediately when the alarm sounded. She grabbed her phone from the bedside table and opened Weibo.

By 12:10, she finally spotted the hashtag #Fangyin Group Tax Evasion at the very bottom of the trending list. Clicking into it, she found only a couple of lesser-known Weibo accounts posting about it. The comments numbered just twenty or thirty, all consisting of emojis or single-word replies clearly bought.

Another twenty minutes passed, and the hashtag began to skyrocket, quickly climbing into the top ten trending searches. Several well-known influencers started reposting it, and the comments were clearly flooded with hired trolls inciting public outrage against Fangyin Group.

Li Heng really had no originality his tactics were exactly the same as Meng Guansheng’s. And look at what happened to Meng Guansheng now. Did Zhu Xinya have any reason to fear Li Heng?

When she saw the hashtag rise to the top of the trending list, Zhu Xinya put down her phone and lay down to sleep peacefully.

She was waiting for Li Heng to climb to great heights, only to fall hard later!

After a good night’s sleep, Zhu Xinya woke up, hugged her blanket, and rolled over once before picking up her phone to send Que Hanfu a “Good morning.” Only then did she open Weibo.

#Fangyin Group Tax Evasion# still firmly held the top spot on the trending list, with a bright red “Explosive” label next to it. Additionally, #Fangyin Group Cancer-Causing Body Wash# was trending at number three.

The influencers who had exposed the scandal gained a wave of support, and their follower counts surged rapidly.

As for the exposed Fangyin Group, their latest promotional post for the Zhuxin skincare set was now flooded with comments from enraged netizens, filled with words like “disgusting,” “disregard for human life,” and “legal punishment.”

Fangyin Group, once only well-known in Longcheng, had now become infamous nationwide.

Zhu Xinya merely chuckled at this.

Once the truth came to light, those who had criticized the most harshly would feel the deepest regret toward Fangyin Group.

In fact, every piece of evidence Zhu Yin had provided to Fang Huai was flawed. Anyone who examined it carefully would find it easy to spot the inconsistencies.

But these people had already been swayed by the trolls’ comments, blindly convinced of Fangyin Group’s wrongdoing without even bothering to verify the facts.

Zhu Xinya trusted that Zhu Yin could handle the situation and went to freshen up with a light heart.

After washing up, she noticed the green notification light on her phone, indicating unread messages. She walked over, picked up her phone, and unlocked it.

Que Hanfu’s profile picture had a red circle with the number 6, meaning she had sent six messages.

Que Hanfu: Yaya, are you okay?
Que Hanfu: Do you need my help?
Que Hanfu: I’ve looked at the evidence, it’s clearly fake and completely unreliable. It was Li Heng, wasn’t it?
Que Hanfu: If you need my help, just call me.
Que Hanfu: I’ve set a custom ringtone just for you.
Que Hanfu: “Love of My Life.”

Blushing, Zhu Xinya replied with a sticker.

Zhu Xinya: Don’t worry, my dad knows how to handle it. If I need help, you’ll be the first person I turn to.
Zhu Xinya: Sis, [mwah mwah]

Zhu Xinya changed her clothes and went downstairs for breakfast. Fang Fang, spotting her, happily waved her over. “Yaya, come quickly! Today’s breakfast is all your favorites.”

Seeing Fang Fang’s cheerful, untroubled smile, Zhu Xinya couldn’t help but smile back. She walked over, sat beside Fang Fang, and hugged her emotionally. “Mom, it’s so good to have you.”

Fang Fang felt a bit shy. “Silly girl, why have you been so clingy lately?”

After breakfast, Zhu Xinya headed to school for class. On the way, she overheard many students discussing the Fangyin Group scandal.

“I never thought a big company like Fangyin Group would evade taxes.”

“Tax evasion isn’t the worst part. What’s truly terrifying is that I’ve been using Bamboo Heart shower gel for a year, and now it’s exposed as containing carcinogens. I feel like killing someone right now.”

“Fangyin Group donated a huge sum to our university, and they even funded the campus clinic.”

“Exactly. Basic treatments at the clinic are free for students. The amount Fangyin allegedly evaded in taxes isn’t even enough to cover the clinic’s annual expenses, it doesn’t make sense. Besides, I glanced at the evidence circulating on Weibo, and something seems off about it.”

“Out of so many people, you’re the only one who noticed something wrong?”

“Never mind, I’m not joining this discussion. We’ll know who’s right when the final results come out.”

Among every eight or ten students, there’s always one more level-headed voice. But when rumors spread, the minority struggles to convince the majority who’ve already made up their minds about Fangyin Group.

Zhu Yin had preemptively contacted the principal of Longcheng University, requesting that students avoid excessive discussion of the matter. After confirming that Fangyin Group was being framed, the principal immediately issued a notice in the faculty group chat.

During Zhu Xinya’s class, the teacher began by earnestly addressing the students: “Sometimes, falsehood and truth are separated by a thin line. You’re all mature university students now, it’s time to learn to think independently. Remember, avoid blindly following the crowd.”

After class, Zhu Xinya overheard a couple behind her talking.

The guy said, “What did the teacher mean at the start of class? Who’s blindly following the crowd?”

The girl replied, “Probably referring to the Fangyin Group situation.”

The guy scoffed, “The university took sponsorship from Fangyin, so they’re defending them. If I’d known Longcheng University was like this, I wouldn’t have applied here.”

The girl hesitated, “Maybe the online evidence is fake. The school might have inside information from Fangyin, which is why the teacher said that. It’s not good to jump to conclusions so early.”

Suddenly angry, the guy stood up and raised his voice, “The facts and evidence are right there! Everyone online is condemning Fangyin, and now you’re telling me they might be innocent?”

“Don’t be mad!” The girl stood and tried to hold his hand, but he shook her off. “I think we have incompatible values. Let’s take some time apart and reconsider whether we should keep dating.”

After saying this, the guy stormed out of the classroom, leaving the girl to sit and cry at her desk.

Zhu Xinya turned and tapped on the girl’s desk. The girl looked up, wiping her tears, eyes red as she asked, “Zhu Xinya? What is it?”

Zhu Xinya said, “Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you’ve found an internship yet.”

The girl shook her head, “My grades are average. Most big companies aren’t interested, and small companies don’t offer much valuable experience. How about you? Did you find one?”

Zhu Xinya smiled, “Yes, I did. It’s with Fangyin Group, the one you and your boyfriend were just talking about.”

The girl exclaimed in surprise, “But what if the allegations against Fangyin are true? Your internship would be ruined!”

Zhu Xinya stated with certainty, “Do you think the teachers at our school are the kind who would bow to money? What the teacher said before class definitely makes sense, what seems real might be false, and what seems false might be real. Until the truth comes out, no one can be sure.”

She blinked, a sly smile playing on her lips. “But I happen to know Fangyin Group was framed, and the one who set them up won’t be able to stir up trouble for much longer.”

The girl stared at her in confusion. “How do you know?”

Zhu Xinya pulled a notebook out from under the girl’s arm and wrote down a string of numbers. “This is the mobile number of Fangyin Group’s marketing director. I think you might need it.”

She stood up, ready to leave, but turned back to add, “Whether it’s dating or marriage, you should find someone who listens to your opinions and respects their partner. Don’t you agree?”

Realizing that Zhu Xinya had overheard her earlier argument with her boyfriend, the girl nodded sheepishly. “I was crying earlier because I felt it wasn’t worth it wasting two years of my youth on a man like that.”
