Chu Yin recalled what had just happened; it was indeed too coincidental.
She never expected that Sister ng would already be so guarded against her.
Chu Yin pursed her lips and said, "I thought Chu Wu would wait a bit longer to make her move, but they couldn’t wait. In that case, we might as well go with the flow."
Lin Zhiyi looked at her, not understanding.
While the others were chatting, Chu Yin secretly poured the coffee into the trash can.
After all, the room was filled with the aroma of coffee, so Sister ng couldn’t possibly tell.
Lin Zhiyi shook her head at her and said, "This won’t do."
Chu Yin was stunned.
Lin Zhiyi poured a third of her own coffee out and then pressed the coffee cup against Chu Yin’s lips.
A lipstick mark and so coffee stains were left on the cup.
Chu Yin ca to her senses and gave her a thumbs-up.
Lin Zhiyi then picked up the empty coffee cup.
Before long, Sister ng returned with the makeup artist and pretended to adjust Chu Yin’s coffee cup.
In fact, she was checking how much Chu Yin had drunk.
Slightly weighing it, Sister ng smiled satisfactorily.
As a manager, she definitely knew the habits of artists.
No celebrity would gulp down coffee, let alone one so sweet.
When handing over the coffee, Sister ng clearly had an extra watchful eye.
Luckily, when Lin Zhiyi was designing things for celebrities before, she had seen them sip coffee in tiny sips.
Fearing that drinking too much would make them gain weight.
Chu Yin exchanged a glance with Lin Zhiyi upon seeing this.
When Chu Yin went for the interview, Lin Zhiyi ssaged Chen Jin, who was at the parking lot.
Chen Jin quickly ca over to her.
"Assistant Chen, check what’s in this coffee, and be quick."
"Yes."
Chen Jin turned and left.
Over an hour later, Chen Jin sent a ssage.
"President Lin, it contains so psychotropic substances. After consuming, one would beco excited, so might babble nonsense or faint with convulsions, and may even behave excessively."
Upon reading, Lin Zhiyi instantly understood Sister ng’s intention.
Chu Yin’s variety show was already popular even before airing.
It even overshadowed Chu Wu.
Sister ng and Chu Wu couldn’t sit still and wanted Chu Yin to blabber nonsense on the show, causing her image to plumt.
"I see."
Upon reading the ssage, Lin Zhiyi noted that the host announced a five-minute break.
Chu Yin approached Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi murmured about the contents of the coffee cup.
Chu Yin paused: "I’ve heard of such things before too, saying so artists appear bewitched on programs, possibly being set up."
Lin Zhiyi nodded: "You obviously can’t do that on the show, but how to drag Sister ng down with it?"
Chu Yin thought for a few seconds and smiled, "I have an idea, wait a mont..."
She whispered a few words into Lin Zhiyi’s ear.
Then she let the makeup artist touch up her makeup and imdiately continued the interview.
During that ti, Sister ng kept a close watch on Chu Yin, seemingly waiting for the effects to kick in.
Even Chu Wu couldn’t resist coming over to check.
As everyone was busy, she quietly moved next to Sister ng.
"What’s going on? Didn’t you say Chu Yin drank the coffee?"
"You don’t understand, female artists like them would never drink too much, so she must be enduring now. The more endurance, the harder it is to focus, making it look more real."
Sister ng coldly stared at Chu Yin, eyed her clenched hands.
She must be reaching her limits.
Chu Wu also couldn’t wait for Chu Yin to err.
But to their disappointnt, Chu Yin responded fluently.
Until the program ended, Chu Yin stood up and collapsed to the floor with a thud.
The scene turned chaotic instantly.
Sister ng never imagined Chu Yin had held on for so long, even fainting.
According to her plan, after babbling nonsense or misbehaving, she’d find a chance to take Chu Yin away.
Who would have thought Chu Yin would faint publicly?
Worried soone might investigate, Sister ng imdiately rushed to the makeup room.
She must destroy that coffee now; she could still claim Chu Yin fainted from overexertion.
...
Hospital.
Chu Yin slowly woke up, discovering Sang Li and a few others had arrived, including Chu Wu and Sister ng.
She imdiately held her head, feeling unwell: "What happened? I feel awful."
Sister ng quickly spoke up, "You must have been too tired, causing you to faint, see even Mr. Sang was alard."
Lin Zhiyi said, "Sister ng, I don’t think it’s from exhaustion. On the way to the hospital earlier, you weren’t there, so you didn’t see it, but she was convulsing the whole ti; even the doctor was startled, asking if Chu Yin had consud sothing."
"No!" Sister ng said, "Chu Yin didn’t eat anything, breakfast and lunch were at the hotel, sa as other guests, and as for the coffee, everyone had so, even Chu Yin’s cup was taken away by Miss Wu."
Sister ng looked at Chu Wu.
Chu Wu, looking aggrieved, said, "I drank sister’s cup of coffee, but nothing happened to . Mr. Sang, I don’t know anything, but my sister always had a stomach problem and a history of dieting, so perhaps her health wasn’t good to begin with."
While explaining, she didn’t forget to tarnish Chu Yin’s na.
To play the sick role well, Chu Yin restrained herself from lashing out.
Lin Zhiyi stood up and said, "The doctor hasn’t said anything, why are you two so nervous?"
Sister ng smiled, "I’m just afraid of misunderstandings."
Chu Wu’s eyes fell on Sang Li: "I’m just worried about my sister."
"Since you’re so concerned, it’s even better," Sang Li suddenly interjected.
Chu Wu and Sister ng were a bit puzzled.
They glanced at each other.
Sister ng cautiously asked, "Mr. Sang, what do you an by this?"
Sang Li replied coldly, "Since our company’s artist had such an incident, naturally we should get to the bottom of it. After all, so many people saw it; spreading such a rumor would make them think the company is exploiting Chu Yin."
Lin Zhiyi cooperated, "Don’t worry, I had the doctor do a comprehensive examination on the way here."
Sister ng was stunned: "Comprehensive examination?"
"Of course, Chu Yin is currently on the rise. If soone is envious and did it intentionally, how can we not find out?"
"Miss Lin, maybe you’re not familiar with the industry. I think as long as nothing’s wrong with Chu Yin, we can find a reason to tell the public," Sister ng advised.
Lin Zhiyi stared at her, "Sister ng, Chu Yin is my friend. I won’t allow anyone to hurt her."
Sister ng wanted to say sothing else.
At that mont, the door opened.
The doctor entered with a serious expression, "Mr. Sang, Miss Lin, we detected traces of psychotropic substances in Miss Chu’s blood, suggesting they were taken before filming."
Lin Zhiyi feigned surprise, "Sister ng, is there anything you’d like to add? Before filming, Chu Yin indeed drank your coffee."
Sister ng was dumbfounded; she hadn’t anticipated the situation escalating like this.
She quickly said, "I’m frad, I truly didn’t drug it."
Lin Zhiyi stared at her closely, "Sister ng, do you dare swear you didn’t drug it?"
Sister ng vigorously shook her head, "Miss Lin, you can’t unjustly accuse . I only bought the coffee to kindly assist Chu Yin. If I’m wronged for this, who would dare manage Chu Yin?"
Chu Wu chid in sarcastically against Chu Yin, "Sister, if your health isn’t good, you shouldn’t bla others. Isn’t this putting Mr. Sang in a tough spot? I heard Sister ng was specially assigned by the company to manage you."
Lin Zhiyi countered, "Chu Wu, are you so sure it’s Chu Yin’s fault? She’s your own sister, so why not support her instead of siding with a stranger?"
Chu Wu’s face turned unnatural, her eyes fixing on Sang Liu as she hesitantly explained, "Miss Lin, I’m just siding with reason, not kinship, isn’t there anything wrong with that? I don’t want to be like my sister, shirking responsibility for my own mistakes and wronging good people."
Lin Zhiyi chuckled coldly, "Hearing you both say this puts at ease."
Chu Wu: "..."
Sister ng: "..."
