Chapter 54

The next morning at 6 o'clock, Qin Yi finished washing up, and Liu Qimeng also came out with her mother, looking very relaxed, as if she had managed to convince her mother. As for Liu Qimeng's face, it was unclear what method she used, but the redness and swelling had subsided. Apart from being a bit stiff, there were no obvious signs of anything wrong, which left Qin Yi feeling quite incredulous!

"You look much better, I can't even tell anymore!"

"Makeup!" Liu Qimeng huffed, giving him a glare, and then pulled her mother toward the sofa, ignoring this guy. He dared to ask anything, intentionally trying to rub salt in her wounds!

Last night, Liu Qimeng had recounted everything, from getting drunk, the video, and beating up the scumbag. There was no way to hide it, as her parents also went online every day.

After hearing everything, Liu's mother didn't pay much attention to the video. She understood that kind of thing would blow over after a few days. What she was most concerned about was whether her daughter had been taken advantage of by that scumbag after getting drunk. Fortunately, it was confirmed that she hadn't been, which greatly relieved her.

The situation then became simpler. Liu's mother knew that the video was uploaded by the guy on the sofa, Qin Yi. Although this might make her daughter famous, it had inadvertently preserved her innocence and ultimately saved her from the scumbag. Overall, she should thank him.

However, she was still a bit worried about her daughter going to America alone. When her daughter asked for a visa over the phone, she didn't know what was going on and naturally wasn't at ease. So, she decided to bring her own things and, if she couldn't persuade her daughter otherwise, she would go with her.

Now that she understood the situation, it seemed she really had to go, even though Liu Qimeng was very unwilling.

The three of them sat on the sofa. Liu's mother first expressed her gratitude and then tactfully inquired about Qin Yi's situation in America.

Qin Yi understood this; parents always act this way. So, he didn't get upset. But if he were to explain, they might not believe him just from his words. He remembered that when the farm was renovated, the media had extensively reported on it, and there should be some news about it in China.

He went to the computer and searched for his name, but found nothing. After some thought, he changed the keywords and searched for "BrokenO." Sure enough, he found the transaction information, which included an introduction to the ranch and the buyer's name and photo.

"Take a look, this should explain some things."

Qin Yi didn't say anything and instead went to play on the computer. Liu Qimeng and her mother were puzzled, but when they heard him, they leaned over to look at the information. When they noticed a name, their hearts skipped a beat, and they quickly compared the photo. Indeed, it was this guy!

The two were stunned. They never expected this somewhat confident, somewhat laid-back young man, who was also a bit handsome, to be a billionaire. Are billionaires this low-key these days?

But the facts were there, and no matter how shocked they were, they had to accept it.

This made Liu's mother recall what her daughter had said last night. The job was Qin Yi's compensation for the harm the video had caused her daughter. Yes, he had everything and didn't need to deceive her. Otherwise, such a job would have many people vying for it, and it wouldn't have fallen to a recent graduate.

Understanding this, Liu's mother no longer doubted Qin Yi's motives. She was just sad that her daughter was suddenly going so far away.

Liu Qimeng looked at her mother's eyes and knew she was reluctant to let her go. She hugged her mother and comforted her, "Mom, staying in America isn't bad. It's like working in another city. If you miss me, you can just take a plane to see me." She then looked at Qin Yi, as if asking if it would be okay for family to visit.

Qin Yi was speechless, "Of course, you can come anytime. If you can do this job well, we can build a small villa on the ranch and bring your parents to live there!"

Liu's mother felt comforted. A plane ride only took a day, and she could see her daughter anytime. Although she was reluctant to let her daughter go so far, she knew it was the best choice for her now.

Since there were no issues, Qin Yi didn't delay and took Liu Qimeng to the airport. Liu's mother also came to see them off. They took a taxi, with Qin Yi sitting in the front and leaving the back seat for the mother and daughter to talk.

In the car, Liu's mother gave her daughter advice for her long journey, such as daily life tips, how to get along with people, and being cautious. Qin Yi, bored, fiddled with his phone, checking the video he had uploaded yesterday.

Opening his account, he first noticed numerous friend requests and followers, as well as many private messages. Most of them thanked him for publishing the video, saving the goddess, and contributing to China, which made Qin Yi sweat!

There were also many inquiries about the hotel information, and even offers to buy it, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand or even tens of thousands. It seemed the trendy guy had really angered the public, and Liu Yifei's fans wanted to confront him in real life!

Continuing to read, Qin Yi found a private message from the trendy guy's agent, promising 100,000 RMB if he deleted the video. Qin Yi shook his head.

It had already spread, and deleting it wouldn't help!

Ignoring these trivial matters, he saw that the video had been shared over a million times, with even more comments. Most of them were either subtly or directly criticizing the trendy guy. A small part questioned the video's authenticity, which seemed to be the work of the trendy guy's company's internet trolls. Unfortunately, they were no match for the vast number of Liu Yifei's fans, who had the support of the general public, making their fighting power overwhelming.

Besides the骂战, a small part of the people were interested in Qin Yi, who had published the video. Since it was published by an individual, it wasn't likely to be from a paparazzi, as such explosive news could easily be sold for tens of thousands. Instead, it was posted on his own account, missing the opportunity to make money.

For a while, many people were curious about this national hero who had saved the goddess and healed countless broken hearts. Some even called for a human flesh search on Qin Yi, but with everyone focused on the ongoing drama, there was no time to pay attention to this, so Qin Yi temporarily avoided the risk of being exposed.

Actually, Qin Yi didn't care. He was about to fly to America, and even if they searched, they wouldn't find him. What was there to be afraid of?

At the airport, the two of them checked in, and Liu's mother took them to have coffee and breakfast. Since there was still some time before boarding, they weren't in a hurry.

After eating, Liu's mother kept talking to Liu Qimeng, which made her a bit annoyed. Finally, she stopped and saw them off. Qin Yi pulled the large and small bags Liu's mother had packed, walking in front, while Liu Qimeng held her mother's arm, making it look like a family.

After walking for a while, Liu's mother realized this and looked at Qin Yi with a smile, whispering something in Liu Qimeng's ear, which made her face turn red. She couldn't help but tap her mother's arm and lightly scold her, then sneak a glance at Qin Yi, blushing even more.

Liu's mother chuckled, watching her daughter's reaction, but didn't say more.

After passing through security, they waved goodbye to Liu's mother and boarded the plane. On the way, Liu Qimeng looked at the first-class boarding pass in her hand, feeling quite happy, "This is my first time in first class!"

"The cost will be deducted from your salary!"

Qin Yi smirked, "I've never been in first class either!"

He didn't pay special attention to this when booking flights. He always booked business class online, being a single man with no assistant, so he was a bit casual about these things.

"What? Isn't this on your expense account?" Liu Qimeng jumped up, drawing the attention of people around her, who were staring. She shrank back, then muttered, "No way, you have to pay for it!"

Qin Yi ignored her and pulled the luggage, the smile on his face making Liu Qimeng feel annoyed.

PS: Applying for the Three Rivers is really difficult. No news yesterday, so I'll try again next week! Thanks everyone for the recommendations and rewards, thank you!
