Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Scapegoating

Gao Changsheng snorted dismissively, “What’s so surprising about such entertainment news?”

“It’s not that!” Xiaojing became anxious, looked up at Su Zixi, and said, “The problem is, the exposé says the newcomer’s surname is Su, and the third character of their name is ‘xi,’ and they are… they are also a university student!”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone’s gaze converged on Su Zixi!

But Su Zixi’s thoughts flashed like lightning to yesterday at the Muyun Hotel, where she encountered Su Lianxi. Lianxi’s expression had seemed so off, and while Su Zixi didn’t understand why at the time, now she figured it must have had something to do with the role intended for Su Lianxi going south, making her so anxious that she even risked seducing an investor…

But in doing so, where did that leave Ning Yichen?

Su Zixi suddenly stood up!

Shen Yushan hurriedly grabbed her, “Don’t be angry! We all know for sure it wasn’t you!”

She glared at Xiaojing, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Xiaojing spoke with a sense of grievance, “I’m not suspecting our captain, and I only mentioned it so she could be prepared.”

Su Zixi waved her hand, took a deep breath and said, “I’m fine.”

She really didn’t think the issue would involve her. After all, she wasn’t a celebrity; why would anyone think of her without any reason?

However, did Su Lianxi really do such a thing?

What would Ning Yichen think if he knew?

Su Zixi pursed her lips, then suddenly said, “Xiaojing, did the news say anything else?”

Xiaojing shook her head, “No. But there was a rather blurry photo attached.”

Su Zixi’s eyes lit up, “Let me see.”

Xiaojing immediately handed her the phone.

The photo in the news was indeed very blurry. It only vaguely showed the woman’s full forehead and dense eyelashes. The resolution was also very low; even Su Zixi couldn’t confidently assert that the woman in the photo was Su Lianxi.

But, the red knitted cardigan she wore seemed familiar…

Su Zixi’s gaze was drawn to the woman’s coat, and after a long moment, she finally realized that she had a similar piece of clothing! She wore it throughout last autumn, but later took it home, not leaving it in the dorm.

If the woman in the photo really was Su Lianxi, then the cardigan was most likely her own! Su Lianxi wearing her clothes… was she trying to frame her?

That’s outrageous! Su Zixi was so angry she wanted to smash the phone!

Shen Yushan, who had been frowning at the photo, also remembered and said, “Zixi, that’s your cardigan, isn’t it? Red knitted cardigans are too rare, I haven’t seen anyone else wearing such an ugly sweater…”

Su Zixi gave her an annoyed look.

Hearing what Shen Yushan had said, some of the teammates became uncertain, considering the fact that Su Zixi left their dinner halfway the day before, claiming she had something to deal with, and that no one knew where she was last night. Could it really be…

But Su Zixi wasn’t paying any attention to her teammates’ suspicions. She returned the phone to Xiaojing and turned to leave the conference room.

Shen Yushan hurried after her, “Zixi, I absolutely believe you! And your sister’s name also includes ‘xi,’ right?… It must be her! She’s from the Film Academy, she certainly has the motive to do such a thing!”

Despite her quick pace, Su Zixi didn’t know how she was feeling.

Her sister framing her for something? She wouldn’t get upset about that—after all, she had experienced her sister’s selfishness and cold-heartedness before.

What she didn’t understand was, given that Su Lianxi already had Ning Yichen, why would she do such a thing, why would she betray him!
