I'm Secretly Married to a Big Shot Novel - Chapter 599

Chapter 599: He Doesn’t Seem to Be Fond of Me
“Sister Xie, we’re not. The things online are untrue,” Qiao Mianmian immediately explained. “I can explain. I indeed saw Su Ze, but we’re not like what’s written in the post.”

“Alright, I believe in you.” Linda was relieved. She paused for a moment before continuing, “So tell me, what’s going on? Did he really propose to you?”

Qiao Mianmian fell silent for a while before summarizing what happened.

As she finished, she rubbed her temple and said, “That’s roughly what happened.”

“Are you saying that someone is trying to defame you maliciously?”

“It should be.” Qiao Mianmian sighed helplessly.

“If what you say is true and Su Ze was the one being clingy, it’s easy to settle the situation.” Linda paused for a while before continuing, “Since there was a crowd at the time, we can clear things up by asking for a witness.

“However, it would be hard to execute. The crowd is made up of strangers, they might not be willing to clear things up for you.”

Qiao Mianmian paused for a while as someone came into her mind.

She hesitated for a while before replying softly, “There was someone in the crowd that I know personally actually.”

But she regretted saying it.

What she said wasn’t helpful.

There was no way Gong Zeli would be willing to help her.

They weren’t close enough.

While it was true that he had treated her a lot better as compared to last time, however, she wouldn’t regard him as a friend yet.

“Who?” Linda asked immediately. “Could you ask him to help you?”

“I don’t think he’ll be willing to help.” Qiao Mianmian sighed and continued, “He doesn’t seem fond of me. We aren’t that close.”

Linda was disappointed. “Do you know any of the other bystanders, then?”

“No.”

“That’s alright.” Linda sighed as well. “I’ll ask the company to help you with public relations. Clarify things up with a post on Weibo later. I’ll get some bots to help you in the comments section. Of course, the best way to settle it would still be to get someone to clear things up.

“It could save a lot of trouble for the company.”

“I’m sorry, Sister Xie.” Qiao Mianmian felt bad. “I’ve caused trouble for you on the first day of our contract.”

Linda must have regretted signing her on.

It must be rare to have an artist create trouble on the first day of the contract.

“It’s not your fault,” Linda answered gently. “Someone is trying to defame you on purpose. There’s no way that you could have anticipated it. Actually, this scenario might be beneficial to you as well.

“At least it made you popular. You’re now known by more people.”

Qiao Mianmian was speechless.

She wasn’t sure if Linda was being serious or if she said that to console her.

“I’m really sorry.” Qiao Mianmian took a deep breath and apologized again.

“Don’t worry. It’s not such a big deal. I’ll clear things up for you.” Linda consoled her. “This is nothing. It will only be worse as you become more popular.

“Oh, right. There’s something that I wish to clarify. I understand that this might concern your private matters. But since you’re under my care, I hope to know more about your relationship matters.”
