I'm Not Shouldering This Blame [BL]

Ch. 8

“It doesn’t matter, it is just some scratches.”Li Fei replied absent-mindedly.

There were some guests escorted to the restaurant who weren’t as calm as Li Fei. Someone angrily shouted when they were asked a question. “Don’t you know who I am? I am Xiao Yaqin, how can I be the culprit?”

A woman was clutching her injured arm. Her skirt had blood stains and dust on it, while her high heels broke, so she was limping.

Li Fei made a slight noise. Geng Tian misunderstood his meaning and rushed to explain. “I don’t know about this matter. You agent didn’t say anything.”

Xiao Yaqin could be regarded as a first rate domestic actress, but she was a big problem for Li Fei. Many years ago when Xiao Yaqin debuted, there was speculation about a scandal with Li Fei. Recently, her acting career was declining so she dug up the speculation about an ‘old love.’ In addition, she openly said on a variety show that the target for her future marriage partner was Li Fei.

This coincided with when Crow was about to be released. Out of consideration for publicity, Star Entertainment Media didn’t intervene. Xiao Yqain was smart and a good performer. She didn’t fabricate any evidence of their relationship so if Li Fei stood up and said there was nothing between them, it would seem like he was deliberately lying.

It was impossible for the charity dinner to be held right now, so she couldn’t forcibly ‘frame’ Li Fei by having photos posted online to invite speculation.

Xiao Yaqin was a star in the spotlight. Such people were always prone to being conceited, and she thought that all Chinese people under the age of 40 should know her.

Everyone knew that the entertainment circle was beautiful, and there really were some actors or actresses that weren’t known. Therefore, anyone who obstructed the investigation would be re-questioned.

Xiao Yaqin was indignant when she suddenly saw Li Fei not far away, causing her eyes to light up. “Li Fei! I lost my ID in my room. Please come and help confirm my identity!”

She could just report her room number, but Xiao Yaqin was acting like she was being subjected to a great grievance. Setting aside Xian Yaqin’s tone, speaking as if she and Li Fei shared the same hotel room…

The investigator might not know Xiao Yaqin, but the rest of the people in the restaurant did. This situation might be chaotic, but they didn’t forget to look in Li Fei’s direction and gossip. The public’s mentality was always like this.

This naturally made Geng Tian angry so he said it a hoarse voice. “Miss Xiao, Dean had hit his head and is dizzy. You can just verify your room number.”

Xiao Yaqin looked stunned, as if she couldn’t believe that Li Fei would abandon her like that.

The crowd whispered. In some of their eyes, Li Fei was now a ‘rubbish man’ and people looked at him contemptuously. (TL: slang for men who are selfish, irresponsible or play with other’s feelings). Only the people who knew there was a charity dinner tonight in the hotel thought that things might be different.

Xiao Yaqin didn’t actually say anything or slander Li Fei. However, the scandal was already present in the onlooker’s minds and she was a good actress, so her expression made people think things that didn’t happen.

Geng Tian felt an oppressive feeling in his chest. He saw someone secretly take out their phone. Due to the angle, Li Fei couldn’t be seen but Xian Yaqin didn’t care about being photographed. Geng Tian wanted to stop this, but he couldn’t.

After her verification finished, Xiao YAqin made a lonely face and limped past Li Fei. She wanted to stop at his side by didn’t dare, making a hesitant expression before taking a few steps back to finish her ‘performance.’
