If she were in the same shoes and this was back when she had not reconciled with Lu Yanchen yet, she would definitely be angry and keep her distance from anyone who tried doing the same to her.
This was truly not something she could just step in and help with even if she wanted to.
Suddenly, Shi Guang’s eyes lit up as she said to Shen Lingshuang, “I have an idea, but I wonder if it would work.”
Shen Lingshuang asked hurriedly, “What?”
Taking her phone out, Shi Guang turned on WeChat and created a group chat.
She had initially only wanted to add Qian Xun and Lu Yanzhi. But on second thought, she added Lu Yanchen inside as well.
Shen Lingshuang chimed in at the side. “Add me in too.”
Shi Guang was hesitant. “Would that be good? You’re an elder. If you’re inside, there’s no way Yanzhi would say anything on account of you.”
Shen Lingshuang agreed as well. “True, true! Alright, don’t add me in then.”
After the group was created, no one spoke. Changing the group’s name to <Food Gang>, Shi Guang started chatting inside.
<Demurely Quiet Shi Guang: What happened yesterday was my fault. I’ll treat all of you guys to a meal to express my apologies.>
She was ignored even after a long time had passed.
Shen Lingshuang was waiting beside her anxiously. “Is it working?”
“Whether or not it works, this beats them having zero interactions entirely, doesn’t it?”
“Seems like this is the only way then.”
…
When Qian Xun was added to the group, she was in the middle of a call.
Her manager was asking her about how she was intending to deal with the scandal. Last night, after the scandal about her and Xiao Bai was revealed, she was filmed standing at the corridor with Lu Yanzhi as well—there were now two scandals to deal with.
<Headlines: Qian Xun’s relationship exposed!>
The context was that the child Qian Xun brought out was not her illegitimate child, but belonged to that man. At the same time, the man’s identity was mysterious, and it was said that he had a really powerful background!
The comments section went rife.
<Holy sh*t! Somebody really has her way around men, huh?>
<This is what they call a scheming b*tch! How else do you think she got to her current position?>
<Not only is his background powerful, that man seems handsome! Holy sh*t… I’m drooling! Give me a dozen boyfriends like that!>
<Indeed, all a woman needs in life is a beautiful face!>
…
Qian Xun told her manager, “What’s there to reply? Can’t I even have a meal with my friends? Just ignore them!”
With that, she hung up right away.
It wasn’t the first time she had scandals as such. She had been through even worse accusations, and yet she had gone through them nonchalantly. Yet, why was she so agitated when it came to Lu Yanzhi?
Qian Xun rubbed at her temple troubledly.
Glancing at her phone, she noticed that she had been dragged into a group chat where there were only four people.
Other than Shi Guang, there were two other strangers.
She clicked on the profiles of the two strangers.
One of the profile’s name was Shi, and the display picture was Shi Guang’s photo—a single look was enough to tell that this was Lu Yanchen’s account.
What about the other?
She clicked on it. The username was Persistent, and the display picture was a military jeep. Because they weren’t friends, she could not check out the other party’s Moments, but she guessed that it must be Lu Yanzhi.
Her suspicions were even firmer after she saw Shi Guang’s message.
Persistent was Lu Yanzhi.
Instinctively, Qian Xun wanted to leave the group.
But on second thought, why should she?
If anything, Lu Yanzhi should be the one to leave!
