Chapter 5 Grandchild's First Love (1)

With her mood now completely uplifted, Chen Enci threw her cell phone onto the bed, started humming off-tune songs while undressing, and sauntered off to the shower.

After lingering in the bathroom for over two hours, she finally sauntered out, in a satin dark green nightdress and fluffy slippers.

The apartment she was staying in was soundproof, so, focused on her skincare routine, she didn't notice that her cell phone and landline were ringing off the hook.

Chen Enci casually tossed her long hair behind her back, sauntered barefoot to the bed, and with each of her steps, her loose hair ends and the hem of her dress swung in a beautiful trail.

She picked up her phone, glanced at the incoming call, and without a care, slid the screen to answer: "What's up?"

"What's up?" Lu Xing on the other side of the call was ready to bite her through the phone line, "You still have the nerve to ask me what's up? Tell me, what's up with your Weibo? Without even informing me, you publicly blasted the media- and not only did you blast them once, you did it three times in a row... triple blasted! 6666, oh Chen Ye!"

With a sense of guilt creeping in, Chen Ye massaged her nose, sank into the bed and remained silent.

Lu Xing became more and more emotional as he continued his tirade, "Chen Ye, do you think we have too much spare time and just decided to cause trouble now? Do you know that three out of the top ten trending topics are related to you and people are cursing at you? It would have been okay if you messed with anyone else. But why provoke Qin Jie? He's not in our circle. He's a public favorite now, a saint who can do no wrong. He has made significant contributions to the medical field and he's revered as a god who has saved countless lives. It's like you're courting public outrage. Can't you..."

"I regret it." Chen Enci, who had been bawling out from Lu Xing's tirade for a while, finally spoke.

Lu Xing: "Now you regret it huh? Why didn't you take a moment to contemplate your actions while posting on Weibo..."

Chen Enci: "What I really regret is not disconnecting the phone line and turning off my cell phone."

Lu Xing was speechless: "…"

Chen Enci: "Plus, I should have locked all my doors and windows."

Lu Xing on the other side of the phone was seething: "Chen Enci, I am beginning to suspect you are a mole planted by my enemies! I've taken care of you all these years, we didn't even make a fortune, and I still have to clean up your mess every day! Can you just stop provoking people when things go wrong? I swear I'm going to have a stroke because of you. Do you remember the time when you blasted a reporter, claiming that you're his daddy, and the whole netizens were tearing…"

"Okay okay, enough, calm down. Regardless of how much you scold me now, it wouldn't change the fact. I suggest you start thinking about how to clean up my mess. And if it seems impossible, then don't even bother. Anyway, it's not like it's my first time being yelled at, I'm used to it..." Chen Enci softens her tone and continues, "In a few days, a new scapegoat will arrive for them to badmouth, and I bet, they won't even remember the name 'Chen Enci.'"

Lu Xing, who was getting riled up a moment ago, was suddenly appeased. His tone softened a lot, "While it is true, you shouldn't provoke unnecessary trouble!"

Chen Enci laughed, "I've been cursed at for days because of that dog of a man. He had the nerve to publicly slap me in the face by saying we never reconciled. Whom does he think he's fooling? His attitude makes clear that he thinks I'm the one who spread this rumor. If he thinks he can make me unhappy, then I'll damn well make sure he's miserable too!"
