Honest Beta gets scammed

Upon hearing this voice, Li Qing unconsciously took a step back, his eyes instantly filled with panic.

The terrifying experiences at the banquet, and the chilling nightmare he had just had, flashed wildly through his mind.

Open the door for He Xiangchen? How could he possibly open the door for He Xiangchen?!

After a brief moment of stiffness, fear spurred him to act immediately.

Seeking a sense of security, he looked around and finally fixed his gaze on the restaurant chairs.

He ran over, dragged the chair behind the door, and used it to block the doorknob.

Only after confirming that the door couldn't be opened this way did Li Qing feel a little relieved.

But he made a commotion.

He Xiangchen had obviously heard it, and he was even more certain that Li Qing was inside, but he just wouldn't open the door for him. His voice sounded more urgent, even with a hint of pleading.

"Li Qing, please let me explain! I was wrong to lie to you before, I apologize! But my feelings for you are real, no, I really love you! I want to marry you, please don't ignore me, please open the door and let me explain to you face to face, please..."

His voice sounded so real.

But Li Qing could no longer tell which of He Xiangchen's words were lies and which were deceptions.

Li Qing didn't want to listen anymore. He quickly ran into the bedroom, closed the door, and locked it from the inside.

Even so, some sounds still managed to seep in.

Li Qing simply shrank into the blanket, wrapping himself up in a ball, not wanting to hear the voice of that person outside anymore.

However, the effect was still minimal, and he could still hear He Xiangchen's voice.

After curling up for so long, a wave of bitterness welled up in Li Qing's heart. His eyes burned and tears welled up. He still felt wronged.

Li Qing knew he was easily swayed. He Xiangchen was a smooth talker, and if given the chance, he might be fooled again in just a few words. He didn't want to listen.

Sniffing, Li Qing forced back her tears, reached out from under the covers, grabbed at the bedside table, and found her phone and charging cable.

I put the phone under the covers, plugged it in, and the screen lit up again after a few moments.

The moment the phone was turned on, it vibrated violently. He Xiangchen's missed calls and message notifications flooded the entire screen like an avalanche.

[Xiang Chen❤: Li Qing, I was wrong, please let me explain.]

[Xiang Chen❤: Please open the door. Can we talk this out?]

[Xiang Chen❤: Do you know Enimga? I didn't mean to treat you like that yesterday.]

【…】

The glaring red heart made Li Qing's eyes hurt. Since seven o'clock this morning, the messages had been coming in non-stop. Li Qing glanced at them, swiped his finger across the screen, and blocked and deleted them in one go.

After doing all this, he opened his contacts and found Guan Li's name.

He thought about telling her that he was quitting, but when his fingertip hovered over the dial button, he hesitated.

He knew that if the artist quit, he would have to pay compensation, and the penalty for breach of contract was quite high when he signed the contract.

Li Qing's fingertips trembled slightly, but he didn't send the shot yet.

However, a message popped up very quickly.

It's Liu Yu.

[Xiaoyu: Calling! Are you there?!]

[Xiaoyu: I'm speechless! I've been subjected to racial discrimination here, you know?! I'm so angry!]

Li Qing was slightly stunned when he saw Liu Yu's message.

Liu Yu had been studying abroad for some time, but the two had kept in touch. He rubbed his sore eyes, ignoring the ongoing noise in his ears, and chose to reply to the past.

What's wrong?

The message received an immediate response.

[Xiaoyu: Wow! A reply in a second! The future superstar is so free today?]

Li Qing forced a smile. He always had plenty of free time, but he had given it all to He Xiangchen. Li Qing gave a smile that was more like a grimace and continued typing.

I happened to see it.

Unlike his dejected mood, Liu Yu was like a floodgate opened, recounting to Li Qing her exploits in her battle against racists, her words filled with indignation.

Li Qing listened quietly, replying occasionally, but didn't tell Liu Yu about her ordeal.

Only after Liu Yu finished speaking did Li Qing type a line of text.

I'm planning to quit and go back to my hometown.

[Xiaoyu: ???]

[Xiaoyu: Why? Aren't you an entertainer? Why are you suddenly going back to your hometown?]

It's nothing, it's not suitable for me. This isn't something I should be doing.

[Xiaoyu: ...]

[Xiaoyu: Is it because of that cyberbullying incident before?]

When Li Qing was cyberbullied, Liu Yu, who was far away overseas, saw it and even started a three-hundred-round online debate with the person who was cyberbullied.

It's not that, it's just... I feel like I'm not suited for the entertainment industry.

This reply clearly failed to convince Liu Yu. After a moment of silence, a new message popped up, hitting the nail on the head.

[Xiaoyu: You're lying, you're definitely hiding something from me. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with your boyfriend?]

Liu Yu was still the same Liu Yu, frighteningly perceptive. He had always known that Li Qing had a boyfriend, and now that he saw that Li Qing was not in a good mood, he guessed the truth immediately.

Li Qing looked at the words and initially tried to find an excuse to brush it off, but Liu Yu kept asking, and he couldn't hold back any longer.

He was already feeling terrible, full of grievances and fear with nowhere to vent, but he had more or less accepted the fact that he had been manipulated.

But what can an ordinary citizen like him do when faced with such a situation? He slapped the other person before leaving, and he was already grateful that He Xiangchen didn't come looking for trouble afterward. How could he dare to ask for any justice?

He had planned to swallow his anger and silently process everything on his own, but now, Liu Yu's question brought out all his pent-up emotions and grievances, causing all his pretense to crumble instantly.

Tears fell onto the screen, creating a small water stain.

He immediately told Liu Yu, his fingers trembling, about how He Xiangchen had deceived him emotionally.

God have mercy!

Liu Yu only found out today that Li Qing's boyfriend is He Xiangchen!

After receiving the message, there was no reply for half a day.

Li Qing felt a little embarrassed and ashamed after posting it.

Liu Yu felt from the beginning that He Xiangchen was not a good person. After she resigned from Shengxin, she would often bring up He Xiangchen's taking advantage of Li Qing and criticize him for it.

Li Qing knew back then that Liu Yu didn't like He Xiangchen, so when he was dating He Xiangchen, he didn't dare to tell Liu Yu by name who his girlfriend was.

Now look what's happened, karma has caught up with them.

Liu Yu said that not a single word she said was wrong.

Just as Li Qing was thinking this, Liu Yu's call popped up.

Li Qing was so startled that she almost threw her phone away.

He stared at the screen at Liu Yu's incoming call. Li Qing was a little nervous, but finally answered the call.

Liu Yu's scream suddenly rang out.

"Li Qing! You idiot! Are you out of your mind?!"
