The Possessive Villain Is Too Clingy [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 3

Earlier, her mind had been clouded by those so-called “friends and classmates,” making her forget even the crucial witness who had just left.

Whether Ye Zhixia was friend or foe, she was the only person who had openly appeared. Chu Ning had to contact her first!

Chu Ning stood up, ready to grab her fully charged phone from the bedside.

Clenching her teeth, she set her next goal: even if she were ruined, she wouldn’t let those who harmed her or kicked her while she was down get away with it!

But the moment she picked up her phone, a shocking yet exhilarating message popped up on the screen.

SummerBreeze_QingYu: Since everything’s been cleared up, shouldn’t someone apologize to Chu Ning?

Cleared up? An apology?

What was going on?

Chu Ning’s eyes lit up as she reopened Weibo and checked the trending page.

The hashtag “Chu Family Heiress Middle-Aged Man” had vanished.

Now, the top two trending topics were: “Ye Zhixia Chu Family Heiress” and “Ye Zhixia Cared for Miss Chu All Night.”

Baffled, Chu Ning clicked in and scrutinized the details, only to realize that Ye Zhixia had resolved the entire mess with just two Weibo posts and three photos.

“You’ll thank me later…” Chu Ning murmured, recalling Ye Zhixia’s parting words.

At this moment, she felt like a death-row inmate granted a pardon. Every muscle in her body relaxed, and a faint smile touched her lips.

Her mind replayed the scene from this morning when Ye Zhixia had gently woken her soft-spoken, polite, beautiful, and kind Ye Zhixia…

Ten minutes later, she forced herself to stop daydreaming and refocused on the bigger picture.

Rui Hua Hotel belonged to the Chu Group yes, her own family’s business.

Yet, in this high-end hotel, someone had slipped in unusually potent champagne, an unidentified middle-aged man, and a photographer. And the victim turned out to be the Chu family’s heiress.

Chu Ning retraced the events from last night:

She had attended plenty of parties and knew her alcohol tolerance well.

She had been drawn to the champagne glass’s unique lily pattern, and the drink’s sweet-and-sour taste masked its potency. Drinking it as usual, she hadn’t expected to get so drunk.

Whoever set this trap must have known her preferences and limits intimately.

How had that middle-aged man infiltrated a high school graduation party?

The hotel’s security was tight, how had the photographer gotten in and captured private photos of a guest?

Instead of using the photos to blackmail her for money, the culprit had rushed to release them publicly.

The whole situation reeked of conspiracy. The mastermind had orchestrated so much, not for fame or profit, but purely to destroy her.

And was Ye Zhixia truly her savior, or just another piece of the trap?

Having sorted her thoughts, Chu Ning decided to return to her private apartment first, then analyze each possibility one by one.

But as she picked up her phone again, the screen continued to flash incessantly.

The same people who had mocked her earlier were now hurling insults at her and Ye Zhixia.

DingDingDingDing: Stirring up drama like this is just typical celebrity clout-chasing. Posting private photos? Clearly a staged act. These two bitches are something else.

Jiangnan XiaoXin: Exactly! Such cheap tricks from entertainers. Pretending to be besties.

SummerBreeze_QingYu: Ridiculous. Ye Zhixia has been in the industry since she was fifteen, with zero scandals in ten years. She’s already a national-level actress.

Joyful Melody: Exactly! If Xia Xia were to endorse senior products now, your grandparents would all go support her. Does she even need to stir up publicity?

Summer Breeze: Besides, with Chu Ning’s family background, would she need to resort to publicity stunts? Especially ones that slander her own reputation.

Osmanthus Honey: Who knows? Maybe that slut just has a taste for it?

This Osmanthus Honey couldn’t stop once she started.

Osmanthus Honey: No matter how much you try to whitewash it, isn’t it true that Chu Ning got completely wasted at the party? Which other classmate drank like that yesterday?

Summer Breeze: So many guys were puking on the roadside, did you not see that?

Osmanthus Honey: How is that the same? Guys can drink however they want. If a girl drinks like that, she’s just shameless and indecent.

Several male accounts chimed in below, supporting Osmanthus Honey’s remarks.

Seeing she had backup, Osmanthus Honey grew even more smug.

Osmanthus Honey: Besides, that guy did touch Chu Ning, he even held her. She’s just a filthy, disgraceful slut now!

Ding Ding Ding: Exactly! Netizens on Weibo are so gullible, a few photos are enough to fool them. But we’re not that easy to trick. Everyone knows how stuck-up Chu Ning usually acts, pretending to be all high and mighty. Who’s to say she doesn’t hook up with a different guy every night?

By this point, Chu Ning felt she had gathered enough evidence.

She scrolled through her contacts and dialed Li Xia, the legal director of the Chu Corporation.

Li Xia wasn’t just the corporation’s legal director, she was also a close friend of Chu Ning’s mother from their younger days. Unmarried to this day, she treated Chu Ning like her own daughter, doting on her endlessly.

“Auntie, did you see what happened on Weibo this morning? In my QQ group, some people have been verbally attacking and slandering me. I’ll send you the evidence later, could you help me take legal action against them?”

There was a brief pause on the other end of the line, and her breathing sounded slightly shaky.

“Ningning, I saw what happened on Weibo earlier. I’m glad it’s been resolved. Should we sue those people on Weibo too?” Li Xia asked, her voice full of concern.

Chu Ning thought for three seconds. “I have other plans for Weibo. Just help me handle the QQ group situation for now.”

Li Xia agreed. “Since you’ve got a plan, we’ll do as you say. Just remember to talk to me if anything comes up.”

“Of course. Right now, only Grandpa and you truly care about me.” Chu Ning’s voice trembled slightly.

After hanging up, she quickly saved all the evidence of the gossip in the group and sent it to Li Xia.

Then, steadying herself, she straightened her posture and left the hotel with her head held high.

A little over an hour later, just as Chu Ning returned to her apartment, Li Xia called back.

“Ningning, I’ve already initiated the lawsuit and started private negotiations simultaneously. The service provider hinted that while the other users’ information can be legally disclosed, the account ‘Osmanthus Honey’ was registered years ago using an elderly person’s ID from a remote rural area. It’s highly likely we won’t be able to trace the real identity behind it.”

Hearing this, Chu Ning understood. No wonder Osmanthus Honey had been so brazen they were confident their real identity couldn’t be uncovered. Could they be part of the scheme too?

Regaining her composure, Chu Ning replied with a light laugh. “I’ll deal with this loose end later. For now, just proceed with suing the others as planned, Auntie.”

Li Xia suggested, “I’ve looked through the materials. This is your grade’s group chat. You could ask your classmates if anyone knows this person.”

Chu Ning quickly agreed. After thanking Li Xia, she hung up and went to take a shower, changing into casual clothes.

Just as she opened her laptop, ready to organize her thoughts into a document, the phone rang again.

“Ring, ring, ring…” The phone kept ringing for a long time, but Chu Ning didn’t pick up. Instead, she stared at the caller ID with a look of disgust, Chu Tianheng.

Chu Tianheng was her father, currently the senior vice president of the operations department at the Chu Corporation.

The fact that she had saved his full name in her contacts made it clear that there was little affection between her and this so-called father.

After the first call ended, Chu Tianheng persistently called a second time, then a third…

With a cold expression, Chu Ning finally answered, “Hello?”

“Chu Ning! How could you do something so disgraceful and humiliating? I, Chu Tianheng, have been wise and respected all my life, how could I have a daughter as shameless as you! Sneaking around with some bald, middle-aged man!” The voice on the other end lashed out with furious accusations.
