The Beginning of the Scandal: 24

Although she was reluctant, Zhou Yun still added Chen Fusi on WeChat.

After getting into the car, Zhou Yun put her phone aside and yawned.

"I'm so tired."

Zhou Lan handed Zhou Yun a thermos flask and said, "I guessed that you didn't eat much in there. This is shredded chicken porridge. I made it myself. You can fill your stomach."

Zhou Yun let out a surprised scream.

"Sister Lan, why are you so considerate?"

Zhou Lan smiled and asked, "Did you meet anyone tonight?"

"Oh, right, I have something to tell you. XV's Chen Xiaowei invited me to walk at their fashion show next month," Zhou Yun said. "She said that she would contact you later to discuss some details."

Zhou Lan's eyes lit up like a light bulb.

"That's great! You got such a big job as soon as you got there." Zhou Lan was an insider in the industry, so she would get in touch with all kinds of news at once.

XV might still be a small, niche brand to the public, but Zhou Lan knew that it had the ability to soar to the sky.

This was because it had already been recognized by the European fashion industry. In the fashion industry, that was equivalent to obtaining the support of the royal blood.

Moreover, it was a brand established by the Chinese.

In an instant, Zhou Lan had already thought of several ideas for promotion.

Zhou Lan was excited, but Zhou Yun felt a bit tired.

When she attended such a gathering that she did not belong in, she had to be 120% focused to maintain her state of mind and not be underestimated.

She was extremely tense. Now that she relaxed, it was as if she could fall asleep at any time.

She yawned.

"Oh, did Song Chi go today?" Zhou Lan asked again.

"Thank God, no."

Zhou Lan sighed and said, "I am so greedy. I was still expecting Song Chi to show up today."

"Sister Lan…" Zhou Yun looked at her helplessly.

"Sigh, you yourself know how much you have benefited from the one scandal and the last trending topic." Zhou Lan covered her chest and mumbled, "Humans can't be uncontented. Be calm, be calm, you can't be like this."

Hearing Zhou Lan talking to herself, Zhou Yun couldn't help but laugh.

Actually, they were all ordinary people. No one wanted to be too shameless, but no one was very noble.

Even Zhou Yun could not reject the opportunities that had come knocking on her door for the past few days.

It was very late. Zhou Lan sent Zhou Yun to her house and reminded her, "Let me know when you enter your house."

"Okay."

Back in the apartment, the first thing Zhou Yun did after sending a message to Zhou Lan was to remove her makeup.

She wanted to lie down lazily and let herself rest.

At this moment, her phone vibrated.

Thinking that it was from Zhou Lan, Zhou Yun picked up the phone and frowned. It was the unknown number again.

The unknown number sent a second message: Did you have a good time tonight?

In an instant, a chill rushed straight to Zhou Yun's head.

It was hair-raising.

Zhou Yun's fingers on the phone turned white from the force.

Zhou Yun typed: Who the hell are you?

Her eyes became cold and piercing, like a threatened beast. The calmer she was, the more she wanted to be ready to deliver a fatal blow.

The stranger didn't reply.

Zhou Yun sent another message: If you continue to follow me and harass me, I'll call the police.

Zhou Yun was testing the other party's reaction. This person's appearance made Zhou Yun feel uneasy because this person actually knew her schedule for tonight. Her schedule for tonight was private and not public. In fact, not many people knew about it.

Who exactly was this person? How did he know? Was he following me like what I had guessed?

At this moment, a reply came.

The stranger sent a smiling emoji, but the following sentence made Zhou Yun's pupils constrict. That person said, Don't scare me. You wouldn't dare to call the police.

Zhou Yun: Why wouldn't I dare?

Stranger: You know it in your heart.

Zhou Yun did not know what this stranger was doing.

Was he deliberately mystifying things or did he have other motives?

However, she felt increasingly uneasy. In just one round, the situation had changed from her testing him to him testing her.

Why did this person say that I did not dare to call the police?

Or was it not a test?

No, that was impossible. No one else knew about that matter.

Zhou Yun pursed her lips.

Since this person knew her schedule for tonight, it meant that this person had followed her. Zhou Yun carefully recalled the people who appeared beside her and suddenly thought of the previous incident at the hotel. That night, someone wanted to swipe his card and enter her room, but he failed. She clearly remembered that incident and was sure that it was not her nightmare. Could it be that he was that stranger?

Zhou Yun put down her phone, her thoughts running wild.

Thoughts popped up in her mind one after another. There were all kinds of guesses.

Along with the scenes that surfaced from the depths of her memories.

"You're the one who caused your mother's death, do you know that?" The alcoholic man roared at her. After the bottle shattered, he raised his fist and hit her.

Her phone vibrated again.

Zhou Yun walked out of the dark memories and picked up her phone again.

It was a message from Zhou Lan. I'll pick you up at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's go to the airport together.

Zhou Yun replied with an 'okay'. She was in a daze.

She exited WeChat and opened the text message. Looking at the back and forth between her and the unknown number, a bitter and sorrowful expression appeared on her face.

She maintained this posture for ten minutes, before finally putting down her phone and walking into the bathroom.

Soaking in the bathtub, she muttered to herself, "You're just a mouse hiding in a corner. You don't even dare to walk up to me."

The next day, Zhou Yun wore her sunglasses and went downstairs with her usual sweet smile.

While waiting for the flight, Zhou Lan told Zhou Yun about the main points of the recording of tonight's show.

After that, Zhou Lan suddenly received a call, so she got up and walked away to talk on the phone.

Zhou Yun was wearing sunglasses and headphones. She took out an e-reader from her bag. Suddenly, someone sat down beside her.

"Hello, are you Zhou Yun?" It was a sweet voice.

Zhou Yun was a little surprised as she turned to look.

The other party was a very young girl. She was dressed young and beautiful, and her face was filled with vitality.

"May I ask who you are?"

"Don't you know who I am?" The young, lovely girl's face broke into a harmless smile.

Zhou Yun suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I'm here to punish you."

The young and cute girl suddenly took out a cup from nowhere and splashed it on Zhou Yun's face.
