Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 175: Collision

Ye Cheng did not have to wait long before Ye Xin entered his study.
Her fair face and eyes were already red and swollen.
He sighed inwardly.
His mother valued girls over boys; he had been asked to give in to his sister since he was young, and he had gotten used to it over time.
Treating his sister well had also become a habit for him.
When he was young, he had told himself over and over again that he loved his sister the most, therefore, he had to give in to her.
Over time, it made him believe that he loved her the most.
Habits were really scary things.

“Brother, quickly think of a way to deal with this for me!” Ye Xin said as tears flowed down her face again.

Ye Cheng took a cigarette out and lit it up.
After taking a puff, he said, “It’s not that there’s no way to deal with this, but it depends on whether you’re willing to cooperate or not…”

Ye Xin’s eyes lit up.
“What is it? Brother, tell me!”

Ye Cheng glanced at her.
“First, you have to keep a low profile.
Saying that, although the drama is getting negative reviews, it’s not all your fault.
Hence, you have to clarify it on your social media account.”

“How? By emphasizing that it’s not my fault? Moreover, the company won’t allow it.
I can’t even log into my account now; the company has changed the password.
The account is now under the company’s control; they’re afraid I might speak up and make matters worse,” Ye Xin said in an aggrieved tone.

Ye Cheng sighed, thinking it really was not easy for his sister’s management company.
“Go speak to the company and have them release a statement under your name.
After that, do more charity work to divert the public’s attention…”

“C-charity work?” Ye Xin was clearly hesitant.

“You have to do it even if you’re tired.
You need to change the public’s opinion.
Didn’t they say you’re a wealthy young miss who can’t endure hardships? Prove them wrong.
In any case, it’ll also divert their attention away from Yi Yao.”

Ye Xin bit her lips and lowered her head, deep in her thoughts.
After a moment, she asked tentatively, “Is there a way to get rid of Song Ning?”

Ye Cheng glanced at her.
“Mind your own business for now.
We’re not in a rush.
If anything happens to her now, you’ll definitely be the prime suspect.
Do you understand?”

Ye Xin’s shoulders slumped after she heard Ye Cheng’s words.
Then, she said, “I’m not willing to be her stepping stone…”

Ye Cheng sighed.
“What can you do now? You’re at a disadvantage.
Moreover, it’s not caused by Song Ning.
At this time, the slightest mistakes on your side will be magnified by the netizens.
Remember to keep a low profile; don’t let anyone seize the chance to further criticize you…”

…

In the end, Ye Xin chose to go to a poverty-stricken area to volunteer as a teacher.
She brought many supplies to be donated and a team to film her.
When the time was ripe, she would post the videos on the Internet.

…

Meanwhile, as the matter regarding Yi Yao continued to brew on the Internet, some extreme fans even camped outside of the hospital, urging Song Ning to return to the entertainment industry.
Not only that, but these fans even brought banners asking for her return.

When Song Ning saw the banners, she felt rather helpless.

Strangely, the number of patients at the hospital had increased as well.
Nevertheless, the number was not too huge where they would need Professor Li’s help.
Song Ning and the others were enough to handle the patients.

Later on, through Cheng Che and Jiahui, Song Ning finally discovered the reason behind the increase in patients.
As it turned out, the fans had intentionally registered as patients in hopes that it would help Song Ning increase her income as quickly as possible so she could return to the entertainment industry.
The fans resorted to this method since they remembered Song Ning’s words and did not want to disrupt her work at the hospital.

When Song Ning found out about this, she hurriedly got in touch with the hospital’s management department to find out the amount of money generated by the fans in the hospital.

Cheng Che, who was puzzled by Song Ning’s actions, asked, “What are you planning to do after finding out the amount of money the fans had spent at the hospital?”

Song Ning replied without any hesitation, “I’ll match the amount and donate it to those in need under the fans’ names…”

Cheng Che gave Song Ning a thumbs-up and said, “Sister-in-law, you’re really amazing!’

Song Ning said helplessly, “What else can I do? It doesn’t feel right to have the fans spend money here when they’re not sick.
It’s better to donate the money to those in need…”

Jiahui said, clearly filled with pride, “Our Song Ning is just like an angel that was sent to the mortal world to help people…”

Song Ning swatted Jiahui’s arm playfully.
“Stop with the flattery!”

Jiahui laughed before she said seriously, “The fans’ donations aside, we should make personal donations as well.
We should release a statement about what we intend to do with the fans’ money, but there’s no need to say anything about our personal donations.
Perhaps, we can also use this chance to appeal to the fans to act rationally regarding Yi Yao…”

Cheng Che made an ‘OK’ sign and got to work immediately.

Alas, the timing of when Song Ning released her statement coincided with the release of the videos of Ye Xin doing charity work on the Internet.
With that, another tragic collision between the duo occurred.
