"Qin Qing... does this Qin Qing really have feelings for Lin Che? He actually boosted her reputation!"
The netizens began to analyze the situation. They said that Lin Che seemed to be completely innocent and that it was Qin Qing who was so despicable that he used a woman's feelings selfishly.
There were people even saying that although Lin Che and Lin Li were sisters, the two were vastly different upon close comparison; Lin Che was much more beautiful. It was, in fact, obvious that they did not share the same mother. Furthermore, Lin Li had constantly been selling her sob story for some time and it was really starting to get on everyone's nerves. Then, someone said that Lin Li simply looked more manipulative than Lin Che. Any man would probably prefer Lin Che to Lin Li.
Of course, there were comments targeting Lin Che. Some people thought that there was no doubt that Qin Qing was despicable, but perhaps it was Lin Che who had seduced him first. After all, Lin Che was the child of the other woman. Since her mother had been a third party in someone else's relationship, she had the same genes too!
However, at this precise moment, someone dug out a copious amount of information on Lin Che's and Qin Qing's shared past.
This included their middle school and high school graduation photos, photos of them at school events and their private photos. It was clear from all of these photos that Lin Che and Qin Qing had known each other from a long time ago. What's more, they had known each other for a very long time, a much longer time than Qin Qing had known Lin Li.
This also proved that Qin Qing had been telling the truth when he said that he had known her before he knew Lin Li. It was only through Lin Che that Lin Li had gotten acquainted with Qin Qing thereafter. In addition, it was evident from the photos that Qin Qing had always been very caring towards Lin Che. The two of them had shared the same desk for many years without a break in between.
Subsequently, someone said that since Qin Qing had known Lin Che first, he was probably telling the truth.
Later on, someone discovered photos of Lin Che in middle school and high school. She had been extremely cute and pretty even then. Someone else had even changed the topic with a comment that Lin Che was already adorable back then and had the exact same face shape and eyes, so she was probably an all-natural beauty who had done no plastic surgery.
Now that there was this much information, Lin Che knew that Lin Li would not be able to turn the situation around. Back inside, Yu Minmin said, "I didn't expect Qin Qing to say that all of a sudden."
She looked at Lin Che and sighed as she gazed at the calm expression on Lin Che's face.
Qin Qing had only done it for her sake. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell.
Lin Che picked up her phone and walked out. She paused for quite a long time before calling Qin Qing.
It took a long time for Qin Qing to answer the call.
"Lin Che?" he said.
"Qin Qing. This incident... you didn't have to do that."
"Oh... you're talking about this." He chuckled and continued, "It's alright. It's the most I can do for you."
"But it's not the truth. You... why did you lie for my sake and willingly bear the brunt of criticism?"
"Even though it's not the truth, I did create trouble for you by canceling my engagement, so it's my responsibility anyway. Of course, I can't sit around and do nothing. It's alright. Just let me help you, Lin Che. No matter how useless of a man I am, at least I can still help my good friend out in this matter."
What else could Lin Che say? Overwhelmed by emotion, she could only clutch her phone and thank him.
After Lin Che went back in, Yang Lingxin sensed that she still seemed to be feeling a little down. Yang Lingxin said to Lin Che, "Sister Che, right now everyone's starting to criticize Lin Li and not you. Please don't be unhappy anymore."
Lin Che merely mustered a smile. "No. That's not why I'm unhappy."
Yang Lingxin said, "Furthermore, right now everyone is even saying that you're definitely more beautiful than Lin Li. It serves Lin Li right for bringing up the matter for no reason. In the end, the photos were released and everyone is acknowledging the fact that she can't be compared to you at all."
The other two were not speaking at all. Yang Lingxin thought of Qin Qing and approached Lin Che. She said softly, "Sister Che, by the way, was the Second Young Master telling the truth? Does he really like you?"
Yu Minmin immediately smacked Yang Lingxin.
She was just so careless with her words.
Similarly, Lin Che merely looked at Yang Lingxin silently with her lips pursed.
Yang Lingxin could only splutter and try to explain, "I just think that Sister Che is such a nice person. It's totally understandable for him to like her."
