On the third day, the filming crew of < The harem > also did not resume work, and the negative news about Zhou Yitong on the Internet was still in full swing. The news of the filming crew changing their female lead had already spread in private.

However, Zhou Yitong who was in the midst of discussion, had carefully finished putting on her makeup, put on her hat and mask, and went out on a date.

Zhou Yitong had made an appointment with Qiao Mingyu.

Ever since she had returned from Bai Nianxi's room yesterday, the more Zhou Yitong thought about it, the more she felt that Bai Nianxi's analysis was not unreasonable.

For example, even though she never tried to avoid Qiao Mingyu's hand or kiss his face, he never took the initiative to kiss her once. The number of times he took his hand could be counted on.

Qiao Mingyu also had a cell phone with him, but every time he answered his phone, he used his work phone. It was only now that she began to wonder who his personal cell phone had been for. Could it be someone who was important to him and who needed to be kept secret?

Zhou Yitong cried for most of the night but in the end, she still decided to meet up with Qiao Mingyu today and ask him about everything.

She had already accepted being blackmailed, but she didn't want to be used by others. Especially since the person who used her was someone she liked from the bottom of her heart …

Their meeting place was set in City Y, so Qiao Mingyu drove from City Z all the way there early in the morning, only when it was almost noon did he arrive at the rendezvous point.

Inside the private box, Zhou Yitong was already waiting.

Because she hadn't rested well for several days, her makeup today was very thick, but it still couldn't hide her haggard expression.

When Qiao Mingyu saw her, he asked her worriedly, "How are you? "He doesn't look too good."

Zhou Yitong laughed and said: "It's nothing major, I just haven't had a good rest in the past few days."

"Are you still worried about what's going on online?" Qiao Mingyu took the initiative to hold Zhou Yitong's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, most of the netizens have poor memories. After this period is over, everyone will quickly forget about this matter."

Zhou Yitong forced a smile again, thinking that although most of the netizens had bad memories, there were still a few who had good memories. As long as you make a mistake, he will remember you for the rest of your life.

But thinking about it, she didn't say it out loud to spoil the mood.

While Zhou Yitong was waiting for them to arrive, she had already ordered dishes. When the servants brought the dishes up, the two started chatting as they ate.

Qiao Mingyu did not eat much, but most of the time, he was either picking dishes for Zhou Yitong or peeling prawns for her. He took care of his very considerately, even while chatting with his, he avoided the topics of the internet and the entertainment circle and only talked about the trivial matters of daily life.

After eating a heartwarming and peaceful meal, Zhou Yitong felt that the disturbance outside had left him far away.

Just then, the private room's door suddenly opened again, a black robed attendant holding a bunch of sunflowers walked towards Zhou Yitong.

"Mister Qiao specially prepared this for you." The waiter brought the flowers and quickly left the room.

Zhou Yitong hugged the sunflower, laughing as she suddenly started to cry.

"Why are you crying?" Qiao Mingyu passed a tissue to her to wipe her face and asked: "You don't like sunflowers?"

"I like it." Zhou Yitong didn't pick up the tissue but went forward and hugged Qiao Mingyu instead. After that, she put her head on's shoulder and said in a low and muffled voice, "I'm happy, I'm really glad that you came to accompany me today."

Qiao Mingyu also hugged her back.

Zhou Yitong thought that if Qiao Mingyu was willing to treat her like this for the rest of her life, then she would rather not know the truth of the matter.

However, reality was always cruel. Fake things would always be easily shattered.

Suddenly, Zhou Yitong heard a familiar ringtone by her ear, it was Qiao Mingyu's personal mobile phone's ringtone.

Qiao Mingyu quickly pushed her away, and without even greeting her, he went out of the private room to answer the call.

Zhou Yitong looked at the hastily opened and closed private room's door, and suddenly laughed bitterly.

She picked up her cell phone and dialed Xiao Chen's number. "Did you ask her?"

"Yes, I was about to call you." Xiao Chen lowered her voice and continued, "The password to unlock it is 7426."

"Alright, I understand." Zhou Yitong noted down the number, and quickly ended the call.

Not long after, Qiao Mingyu also returned to the private box. He seemed to have recalled the matter of pushing Zhou Yitong away just now, and explained in a slightly awkward manner: "Sorry, I was in a hurry earlier."

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Yitong pretended not to care at all as she smiled, then she picked up the red wine on the table and said, "If you really feel sorry for it, then accompany me to have a few drinks."

Qiao Mingyu knew that she was not in a good mood recently, and probably wanted to ease the mood. Hence, he did not advise her to go ahead and drink with her.

After drinking a few glasses of red wine, Zhou Yitong felt a little intoxicated. She poured another cup for both herself and Qiao Mingyu, and when the two of them touched glasses, Zhou Yitong felt her hands unsteady, and poured all the red wine onto Qiao Mingyu's body.

As Zhou Yitong said that she was sorry, she quickly wiped it clean with a tissue.

She accidentally splashed the red wine onto Qiao Mingyu's private phone, and while she was helping him wipe the red wine off his clothes, she quickly reached into Qiao Mingyu's pocket and took his private phone.

The red wine that was stained on her clothes was not easy to clean. Qiao Mingyu saw that Zhou Yitong had her head lowered and thought that she was feeling guilty about what happened earlier, so he consoled her: "It's alright, I'll go to the bathroom to clean it up."

With that, he went into the bathroom in the suite and began to clean himself.

Zhou Yitong only took out Qiao Mingyu's private phone after she heard the sound of water splashing in the washroom.

Lil 'Cheng had already told her the password on the phone: 7426.

Xiao Chen asked about the password from Qiao Mingyu's assistant. This time, Qiao Mingyu came to Y City with his assistant, and as his assistant liked Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen used a beauty trick and easily got the unlocking password for the phone from Qiao Mingyu's assistant.

When Zhou Yitong typed in the unlock password in sequence, she realized that the order in which she typed the word "light" in Chinese was exactly 7426.

With her insight successfully locked, Zhou Yitong instantly understood the meaning of this password.

But she didn't have much time to think about it. Qiao Mingyu could come out of the washroom at any time.

After the phone was unlocked, she went straight to the photo albums and chat logs. She didn't have time to go through the pages one by one, so she simply copied them all out on a USB drive.

By the time she had done all this, restored her cell phone and dropped it on the carpet at the corner of the desk, she realized that she was sweating profusely.

Just as she threw her phone on the floor, the sound of water flowing in the bathroom stopped, and then, Qiao Mingyu walked out from the bathroom.

Qiao Mingyu did not notice anything strange about her, but on the contrary, he looked a little anxious. He asked Zhou Yitong: "Did you see my phone? I was in the bathroom and I suddenly realized it was gone. "

Zhou Yitong shook her head to show that she did not see it either, and then helped Qiao Mingyu find it inside the house.

As if by accident, she looked down and suddenly saw her cell phone lying at the foot of the table.

Qiao Mingyu saw his cellphone almost at the same time as her, but Qiao Mingyu had already picked it up, and upon realizing that there was nothing wrong with the contents, he said lazily: "It should be because of you wiping your clothes earlier, you accidentally dropped it."

Zhou Yitong quickly nodded her head and agreed.

Qiao Mingyu kept his phone, and asked Zhou Yitong: "Since today is your date, what do you plan to do next? "Where do you want to go?"

"I... I'm not feeling very well right now, so I'd like to go back to the hotel first. " Zhou Yitong lied.

The USB drive in her bag was like a time bomb, and she wanted to get back to the hotel as soon as possible.

"Alright," Qiao Mingyu said considerately, "I'll send you back now. You rest well, I'll come see you again next time."

"Next time? You're going back to Z tonight? " Zhou Yitong was keenly aware of the meaning in his words.

Qiao Mingyu thought back to the phone call that Lin Qian had just made to urge him to go back, he paused for a moment and said: "I'm sorry, I'm your boyfriend. I should have stayed back to accompany you when you needed me, butâ ¦. I have a trip tomorrow morning, and I have to get back today. "

The reason he came all the way to meet Zhou Yitong was mostly because she felt guilty about using her as a shield. However, compared to Lin Qian, all these guilt things were always him.

Zhou Yitong did not say much, and the two of them left the dining hall one after another.

Qiao Mingyu brought her back to the hotel, and before they parted ways, Zhou Yitong suddenly turned and kissed Qiao Mingyu on the cheek, and said: "Thank you for coming to accompany me today."

She was smiling, but when she turned her head, tears were streaming down her face. She didn't want Qiao Mingyu to see it, so she turned and ran into the hotel's elevator.

Returning to his room, Zhou Yitong locked herself in his room and took out the USB drive that copied Qiao Mingyu's phone photo album and chat logs.

When she was at the restaurant earlier, she had wanted to hurry back to the hotel to check it out, but when she really returned, she suddenly became timid and was unable to move.

She still remembered the ecstasy she felt when Qiao Mingyu told her that he had always secretly fallen in love with her, as well as the tender and considerate details he gave her. Scenes of the past flashed before her eyes one by one. She was unwilling to part with them …

But then she thought that all of this was possibly fake and that Qiao Mingyu had purposely put on an act for the sake of protecting others, causing a wave of hatred to surface in her heart.

In the end, Zhou Yitong still opened the USB drive.

It could be seen that Qiao Mingyu was very cautious. Even when he was carrying around his personal phone, he did not leave behind many photos.

There were not many things in the USB drive, but for Zhou Yitong, these were already enough.

It was enough for her to understand the unusual relationship between Qiao Mingyu and herself, as well as her role in their relationship.

There were a few intimate photos of Lin Qian and Qiao Mingyu, as well as the records of their conversation and Qiao Mingyu rushing over to see her today. Lin Qian was jealous of her grievances, but Qiao Mingyu comforted her in the end: "I will never betray you, she is only a temporary measure."

What a convenient plan.

In Qiao Mingyu's eyes, the love she felt with all her heart was only a "temporary measure"!

Perhaps it was because Bai Nianxi had given her a precautionary measure yesterday, but when she saw all of this, other than the rage of being toyed with, she actually did not feel much surprise in her heart.

From these "evidence", it could not be seen that Lin Qian was the one wreaking havoc on the internet, but at least Lin Qian already had a motive.

What Bai Nianxi said was right, no one knew what a woman in love would do because of jealousy. For example, right now, Zhou Yitong really wanted to publish all the information on the USB tray.

Like this, Lin Qian, who was working with his brother-in-law, would be attacked by the masses just like her. The pain and suffering she had experienced these few days should be given a good try to Lin Qian!

However, once these things were announced, not only Lin Qian would be destroyed, but Qiao Mingyu as well.

Thinking about Qiao Mingyu, Zhou Yitong suddenly started swaying again.

But just as Zhou Yitong was thinking about how to handle the USB drive, another piece of information about her suddenly popped up on the internet.

This time, the rumors were not only directed at her, but also at her family.

It was revealed that both her mother and her grandmother had been unmarried, especially her mother, who had been born to a married man.

Zhou Yitong was indeed an illegitimate daughter, so her maternal grandma and mother were both unmarried daughters.

Zhou Yitong also hated her own life, but she knew that her mother had worked hard to raise her own life. So, since her debut, she had never mentioned her family to anyone. She was afraid that they would be viciously attacked.

But now, the news online had not only maliciously humiliated his mother and his grandma, it had even ended by hinting that he might want to follow in their footsteps …

She could bear being blackened, but she could not bear dragging her family into the water.

This piece of information was released at such a coincidental time, just right after Qiao Mingyu and him went on a date to leave this place.

Zhou Yitong thought about the text message Liao Feng sent him yesterday, and only now did she understand. Even though she was Lin Qian's shield, Lin Qian also hated him for seizing Qiao Mingyu, which was why she took revenge on her again and again.

Zhou Yitong was already prepared to be kept in the snow, but her family was her bottom line. She looked at the comments online that had been made about her family. Holding the USB in her hand, she finally made her decision.
