Chapter 548: Chapter 548
He Jinxia decisively interrupted her, sneered coldly, and swiftly said, "Just because you covet my family’s money, you turn right into wrong and black into white!"
"He Hui, it’s illegal to spread rumors these days. You better think it over, it doesn’t matter if you end up in prison, but don’t drag your daughter-in-law and son into it!"
He Hui’s words were choked off, and for a moment she was scared by He Jinxia, but then she remembered what the paparazzi had said, and, feeling determined, she patted her thigh and lamented,
"Wuwu, what sins have I committed, to be framed by your family!"
"Yes, you are a big star, and I am just a nobody. You can badmouth me to the media and slander me, while I can’t say a single bad word about you, not even the truth!"
"He Jinxia, I believe the law is fair and just, and it will give me a resolution. It won’t let someone like you run amok!"
Upon hearing this, He Jinxia burst into derisive laughter. He Hui’s level of articulation had skyrocketed.
She scanned the surroundings. Based on her previous encounters with He Hui, she couldn’t believe these were her own words—there must have been a mastermind coaching her beforehand.
Even today’s encounter was precisely staged, having known for sure that they would be here!
Cooling down, she quickly spotted the issue.
Among the onlookers, several had already started filming with their phones, but everyone was just holding phones, except for one man in black clothes who held a camera!
Who comes to the cemetery to pay homage to ancestors with a camera?
Could it be because they thought the scenery was nice and wanted to capture it?
The excited paparazzo was snapping photos when suddenly, through his lens, he saw He Jinxia staring straight at him, which made him panic.
The professional instinct he had developed over many years told him something was wrong, and he immediately ran off with his camera.
He Hui and her family watched the fleeing paparazzo with a moment of confusion on their faces—this didn’t match what they had been told!
Previously, the paparazzo had advised them to stick to He Jinxia as long as possible, ideally causing enough disturbance to involve the police.
However, it shouldn’t be He Jinxia who called the police, but rather them, as this would benefit them in seizing the initiative in the narrative.
With the police involved, He Jinxia would be scared. A major star like her fears public scandals the most, which meant they had nothing to worry about.
Under normal circumstances, police handling domestic matters wouldn’t disclose details publicly; they have professional ethics and cannot speak carelessly, and that was when the paparazzo had them press He Jinxia harder.
If He Jinxia didn’t give them a sum of money, they would continue to escalate the matter, even taking it to court!
Once it reached court, it would take at least two years to resolve.
Two years, for a star in the rising phase of her career, was fatal. Even if He Jinxia was wronged, after two years, no one would remember whether she had been wronged, as people would have forgotten about her as a star.
For her career’s sake, the paparazzo had confidently assured them last night that He Jinxia would definitely agree to their demands.
The paparazzo also said he would follow the entire process, recording their argument, which could later be used as leverage against He Jinxia.
As for He Hui’s concern about people vilifying them or besieging their home once the news broke out, the paparazzo also reassured them not to worry.
The paparazzi said once they got a large sum of money, the whole family could emigrate abroad and live wherever they wanted. Huaxia was so large, they could just move to another place and nobody around would recognize them.
Moreover, the netizens would not know what He Hui and her family looked like. Generally, ordinary people’s faces are blurred in the news.
It was also the paparazzi who had sketched a grand blueprint for them and made a detailed plan, which is why He Hui’s family rushed to cause trouble for He Jinxia today.
But now that the paparazzi had run away, what were they supposed to do? ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fire.net
He Hui and her family were stunned and did not know how to proceed.
As they stood there dumbfounded, suddenly, the sound of police sirens came from afar—the police had arrived!
He Hui’s heart skipped a beat, wondering if the police were here for her, but she hadn’t called them.
He Hui, thinking of something, looked up at He Jinxia. He Jinxia wore a mask that covered most of her face, only revealing those sharp and piercing eyes that looked at He Hui with a bone-chilling coldness.
He Hui’s heart tightened, and she suddenly realized what was happening, smacking her thigh and continuing to cry and wail about her hard life and how miserable she was...
Mrs. He also came to her senses, looking at He Jinxia with worry-filled eyes. The police had come; they must be here for them. What if something went wrong?
After her burst of anger, Mrs. He began to regret her actions. Jinxia was a celebrity, a public figure; she shouldn’t have lost control of her temper and started arguing with He Hui on the spot.
It would have been better to resolve the matter privately, arguing in public could affect Jinxia’s image.
The police..., of course, were not called by He Jinxia.
He Jinxia was planning to call the police when she saw He Hui looking like she was ready to cause a scene, and she had already made up her mind to do so.
But before she could even start to call, the police had already arrived, leaving He Jinxia wondering who had called them.
The scene was somewhat chaotic. Jinxia didn’t think deeply about it. Perhaps some of the onlookers, seeing that things were getting out of hand and fearing a physical altercation, had reported the incident too.
He Jinxia took her mother’s hand, her grip firm and her tone calm as she said, "Mom, don’t worry. We are in the right; heaven is watching. The police coming is a good thing; let them investigate thoroughly and clear our names."
She glanced at He Hui, saying coldly, "Anyone can make up rumors, it’s easy to spin a tale without cost, but spreading rumors is illegal. It can harm societal safety and disrupt public order. I am a celebrity, but I have human rights too. I won’t allow others to slander me recklessly."
"If I did it, I would admit it, but if I didn’t do it, I will never confess!"
—Her phrase rang with determination, and even the onlookers could feel the resolve in Jinxia’s tone.
Some of the onlookers had already started live-streaming this incident involving He Jinxia.
At that moment, viewers in front of the screen heard He Jinxia’s response. Even those who did not understand the full story, just by hearing her firm and forceful declaration, couldn’t help but applause.
[Truly worthy of being the Fat Emperor, the woman I admire has such an Empress’s charisma!]
[66666 Just for this phrase, I decide to support you, no matter if you are terribly wicked, if you bear a vendetta as deep as the sea, a thousand miles of landscapes cannot compare to my deep affection for you!]
[Your bridal gown is like blood, painting the canvas, bewitching the heart, branded in my soul, henceforth a cinnabar mole.]
