It’s true that what you want to avoid the most always comes to find you instead.
The comment section was already shut down, but it was still unable to prevent such awkward situations from happening.
Two awkward situations happening back to back in such a short time, even the best host with the best skill was struggling to regain control of the situation.
The host scrambled to delete the fan’s comments while keeping an awkward smile on her face.
“Ehem, I just mentioned, let’s not ask such sensitive questions, alright? My dear fan, you’ve broken the rules. So your question will not be answered by Anxin okay. Now, next up! Anxin is going to…”
The host was about to let Qiao Anxin pick the next fan.
But Qiao Anxin’s patience had soon run out.
She bolted out from her seat among the live crew’s startled looks. “Today’s live-stream will end here. I’m sorry, something urgent cropped up, and I need to go handle it right now.”
She immediately turned around and left the broadcasting room once she finished her sentence, without even caring about what the crew would think about it.
The host and the rest of the crew were left lost and frozen on their spots.
Outside of the broadcasting room.
Qiao Anxin grabbed hold of her assistant and asked with a hardened expression, “Did someone post something about me again on Weibo? What’s going on?”
Her assistant had seen the news much earlier on.
But she felt like it wasn’t the right time to let Qiao Anxin know when she was in the middle of her live broadcast.
Fearing Qiao Anxin’s anger-filled face, she quickly answered, “Sister Anxin, someone posted something about you on Weibo just now. That post has been reposted and shared by many tabloids and social media platforms. Just now… just now Ms. Amy has also requested you to go back to the office once you’re done with your live-stream. Oh, right. I saw many reporters waiting downstairs outside of the broadcasting station as well.”
Qiao Anxin’s face darkened as she whipped out her phone and logged on Weibo.
She saw that post right as she logged in.
The caption of the post was eye-catching: [Breaking news! The current heartthrob Qiao Anxin was actually a third party in a relationship, and her current boyfriend used to be her own sister’s fiancé! This mistress not only snatched her sister’s love, but she even posted a rumor by herself to destroy her sister’s reputation!]
Qiao Anxin was unbelievably furious when she saw the caption.
She almost smashed her phone when she read the content of the post itself.
Her assistant watched her angry and pressed face from the side and didn’t even dare to let out a single breath of air.
Qiao Anxin always had a bad temper and would use her as her punching bag from time to time.
Now that she was seriously furious, the consequences were far worse to imagine.
Her assistant slowly crept to a quiet corner without a word, trying to lower her profile and make herself unnoticeable.
But Qiao Anxin still noticed her.
When Qiao Anxin whipped her head around and saw the quivering assistant at the corner, she felt her anger rising once more.
Looking at her assistant who actually held resemblance with Qiao Mianmian, she stormed over out of anger and landed a slap on her face.
She spoke through gritted teeth. “Did I hire you to slack off and be useless?? Why didn’t you tell me earlier about this!”
Her assistant’s face swelled up from the uncalled slap.
Her face was filled with fear, and her eyes, red with tears, threatened to fall out. She held onto the swollen side of her face and said, “I’m so sorry, Sister Anxin. You were in the middle of recording, so I was afraid I would distract you with this instead.”
Qiao Anxin actually knew better than anyone else that her assistant was innocent.
But she couldn’t keep her anger in check while looking at the face that reminded her of Qiao Mianmian.
