Lies came to Qin Yongmei flawlessly. She was not worried about things being exposed.
After all, once the live show aired, everyone would only care about "the number one scholar who spent the night with a man in a hotel". Nobody would ask about the specifics.
Her reasonings were logical, so the reporter didn't question anything. He only commented, "The scholar's mom sure is careless with her daughter. That makes her daughter getting such a high mark even more impressive."
Qin Yongmei's face turned ugly at the compliment for Qiao Qing. She worked hard to make sure nobody could tell how unhappy she was.
After everyone arrived at the hotel, Qin Yongmei grabbed one of the individuals from the broadcasting team.
She said to Xu Yingying, "Yingying, take him to Qingqing. I'm going to find Niannian, okay?"
To ensure she didn't lose composure over what was going to happen, she better hide until everything was done.
Plus, compared to catching Qiao Qing red-handed, she had higher anticipation for Niannian's good news.
After all, once Niannian successfully gets her way into the Jun family, she will live a worry-free life.
Additionally, who knows how long this Qiao Qing thing will take. She better hurry to Niannian before Jun Yexuan leaves.
Xu Yingying was about to nod when the reporter asked, "Why are you taking Xiao Li with you?"
Qin Yongmei had an answer ready, "I'm not familiar with the layout of this place. I need someone to direct me. Yingying needs to be with Qingqing. After all, if there's no friend around, Qingqing will be nervous. There are so many team members here, you won't even miss Xiao Li."
What a dumb question. If she doesn't take a reporter with her, how will she get pictures as evidence for Niannian and Jun Yexuan's relationship?
Li Qian, who was aware of the plans, cooperated, "Team lead, I'll go with her. I won't be long. After all, we can't mistreat the scholar's aunt."
The team lead didn't suspect this either. He waved his hand, "Then, hurry."
Li Qian nodded aggressively, "Of course."
Xu Yingying led the broadcasting team to the 32nd floor. She stood right outside room 3209 and began to knock.
"Qingqing, Qingqing, Qingqing, wake up!"
She shouted as she knocked.
Inside the room, Qiao Nian heard the noise from outside. She frowned and opened her eyes. But the moment she tried to move, a shot of pain made her wince and cry out.
After sorting out her thoughts, she turned her head and couldn't wait to check out the man beside her.
When she saw Gao Meng's jaundiced face, the smile on her face froze up. She shouted shrilly – her voice was multiple octaves higher than normal.
Gao Meng's thick black brows furrowed. Exasperated, he screamed, "Bastard, what are you shouting for! Don't you know I'm never in a good mood in the morning?!"
Outside, Xu Yingying heard the scream and felt ultra excited. She didn't notice how that voice was familiar.
The way she knocked got even more violent, "Qingqing, what's wrong? Qingqing, don't scare me."
The reporters outside exchanged glances and turned serious.
Xu Yingying was not at all surprised that "Qiao Qing" was not coming over to open the door. After another moment of faking, she took out the room key from her pocket and tapped it.
The reporter beside her said "huh?" He was just about to ask her why she had a key when the door creaked open.
With no opportunity to ask any more questions, all the reporters rushed inside with their cameras.
Xu Yingying was the first one to step into the room. She was just about to scream to attract more attention and get more people to rush in when she discovered that it was Qiao Nian inside the room.
Her tongue tied and her eyes widened, "Niannian, why are you here?!"
Qiao Nian screamed yet again. Flustered, she grabbed the blanket to cover her body. At the same time, she threw a pillow at the reporters, "Get out! All of you, out!"
