Chapter 113 Pressure

After saying that, Qin Weiming didn't bother with the secrets behind their whispered conversation, since it wasn't the first time the two of them had acted mysteriously in front of him.

"Ah Ming, could you take Mengdie to see Sister Qingxia next time? She likes Sister Qingxia even more than I do. She's so envious of me because she heard I've met Sister Qingxia and even talked to her." Wang Zuxian cautiously asked Qin Weiming about this.

Li Mengdie had already left by then, clearly afraid that her presence would hinder the two of them.

Qin Weiming was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that this matter could involve Li Mengdie.

"Actually, it doesn't seem like there's any problem. If Mengdie wants to see Sister Qingxia, I'll take her with me," Qin Weiming said earnestly.

Wang Zuxian was immediately overjoyed. She hadn't expected that she would actually succeed when she approached Qin Weiming, since she hadn't had high hopes beforehand.

"Of course, I also have to see how things go. I can't guarantee Mengdie that she'll see him 100%, otherwise I'm afraid she'll be too disappointed," Qin Weiming quickly added to Wang Zuxian.

Joey Wong patted his shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, I know what you mean. I won't tell her that. Anyway, she's happy as long as there's hope."

"You two have a really good relationship. Actually, Sister Xia hasn't been in a good mood lately. It's usually not difficult for me to agree to take her to see her. It's just that she's had too many scandals lately, and a lot of gossip reporters are staking out her like crazy. If you're in a hurry to see her, don't be nervous." Qin Weiming told Wang Zuxian about this situation.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zuxian's first reaction wasn't to think about Li Mengdie, but rather to worry about Lin Qingxia's situation: "If that's the case, is Sister Qingxia's current situation very bad? Shouldn't we go see her? Can you comfort her?"

"Ah, what's the point of me comforting her? She might not even fall for my charm. If I were that useful, I would have gone already." Qin Weiming rolled his eyes. He realized that Wang Zuxian was a woman who was generous with other people's money without caring at all.

Wang Zuxian said to Qin Weiming, "Ah Ming, haven't you realized yet? Actually, Sister Xia really likes you. Every time she talks to you, her eyes sparkle. It's obvious that her mood improves a lot after seeing you. Haven't you noticed?"

"Huh? I really didn't notice that. Are you serious or not? I have no idea." Qin Weiming was a little speechless. He started to think that Wang Zuxian was trying to bewitch him, but he knew that was not what she meant.

Wang Zuxian sighed helplessly. She realized that Qin Weiming was completely clueless about this: "Really, Xia Jie is a girl. She definitely needs someone to comfort her right now. Or, why don't you take me to see her? I can comfort her."

"Heh, I think you just want to see her when you say you want to comfort her." Qin Weiming sneered. He had already guessed what Wang Zuxian would say to him, and he no longer believed her words.

Wang Zuxian simply chuckled twice. She knew that what she had said to Qin Weiming might not have been very reliable, but she could truly empathize with Lin Qingxia's current feelings. Asking Qin Weiming to take her to see her wasn't just wishful thinking.

However, Qin Weiming dismissed the idea with a single sentence: "Don't even think about it. I won't take you to see her. Her house is swarming with tabloid reporters right now. Even if I took you in, a ton of photos would be taken, and we'd both be famous. Your mom would definitely kill me then."

"Okay, you're right. Let's wait until we have a chance to talk about it." Wang Zuxian thought about the many scandals and troubles Lin Qingxia had been carrying and felt a headache coming on. Every day, she could hardly bear to hear her female classmates talking about the scandals surrounding Lin Qingxia, and the behavior of some people who liked Qin Han who threw dirty water on Lin Qingxia.

"Ah Ming, why do so many people criticize a big star every day?" Wang Zuxian couldn't understand. Lin Qingxia's reputation had always been excellent: "Many people praised Sister Qingxia before, saying she was the last 'Jade Girl.' Why, in the blink of an eye, is it all just insults?"

"Xiaoxian, haven't you heard of the saying 'praise to death'? The more they praise you as some kind of fairy or goddess, the more they want you to be free from human emotions and desires, otherwise they'll have a reason to criticize you." Qin Weiming said lazily as he rode his bicycle.

As he slowed down, Wang Zuxian also slowed down, leisurely following Qin Weiming's pace: "Ah Ming, what do you mean by that? Isn't that a compliment to Sister Qingxia and the others? How did it become a threat?"

"Goddess Xia, think about it, can she have feelings? Can she fall for a playboy or a married man? Wouldn't that be like stepping down from her pedestal? They've already put Sister Xia on a pedestal just to serve their own fantasies. Now that the goddess in their fantasies has someone she likes, but that person isn't them, they're going to break down. They're bound to start cursing Sister Xia every day." Qin Weiming explained the thoughts of some men who had broken down.

Wang Zuxian immediately understood. She just couldn't imagine that such dirty dealings existed in the world, and that these people did them so casually and routinely: "Then why do those women also curse Sister Xia? Could it be that they also have fantasies about Sister Xia?"

At her age, Wang Zuxian couldn't fully grasp what these fantasies actually meant.

Qin Weiming stopped pedaling, glanced at Wang Zuxian, and pointed to the large poster on the shop behind her: "Look, that's the male star they fantasize about. He's had fantasies about Sister Xia, so they've been jealous of her for a long time. Now that they finally have a chance to insult her, they're naturally going to seize every opportunity to do so."

"So that's how it is?" Joey Wong finally understood. Whether male or female, the reasons why they insulted Brigitte Lin could be varied, but they were basically driven by the most basic human desires.

In other words, everyone has their own desires to express to Brigitte Lin, but they are not satisfied, so in order to vent, they resort to insults against Brigitte Lin.

"Thinking about it this way, it feels like being a big star is also pitiful, having to be chased and scolded by so many people every day." Wang Zuxian suddenly felt like sighing. If that's really the case, things aren't as rosy as she thought. She also had to bear pressure that ordinary people couldn't imagine.
