Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Where Were You Last Night? (1) Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Where Were You Last Night? (1) He really didn’t take Lu Wanwan very far, stopping at the bus station.
“I’m sorry about today’s incident, I didn’t expect it.”
Lu Wanwan unbuckled her seatbelt, shaking her head, “Actually, I’m the one who should apologize. The trouble came from me. If it weren’t for me, they wouldn’t have captured anything. And you are the one who’s affected by the scandal the most, it’s still okay for me.”
“Being involved in a scandal with me recently isn’t beneficial for you,” he said with a smile, “These reporters are really troublesome.”
“Hey, I am a reporter too… But it’s fine, I’m not afraid of scandals anymore.”
The reason she was afraid before was because of Gu Annan; he was low-key in his actions, the Gu Family valued public image greatly, and she was worried that Gu Annan would be unhappy.
As for now, she no longer needed to care.
“If you’re worried about our newspaper, there’s no need. Because I plan to resign,” she said.
Bai Lingyun was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting it, “Why resign? Because of what just happened?”
She shook her head, “Not because of you, I just came to an understanding last night. And do you really think my ambition is to be an entertainment journalist forever?”
He simply laughed at her words, turning her earlier statement back on her, “As long as you’re happy. It’s just a pity that I’ll no longer have a trusted collaborator.”
“If you need one, I can introduce you to someone,” she remembered Tang Xiao.
“No need,” Bai Lingyun dismissed the idea even without consideration, “I need someone I can trust. But I find it very hard to trust others.”
“Do you trust me? We’re not even close,” she retorted.
He glanced at her puzzled little face, his lips curling into a smile, “I thought we were going to become family.”
“It’s okay, we can still be friends,” Lu Wanwan brushed Gu Annan out of her mind, opened the car door and got out, “Thanks, goodbye.”
“Mhm,” he didn’t immediately drive away, and when Lu Wanwan turned around, he reminded her, “Don’t worry too much about the scandal. I’ll be going abroad to shoot a movie soon, and in a while, they will forget about this.”
She waved her hand, “Got it.”
“Are you sure you want to resign?” Tang Xiao’s eyes widened, clinging to her arm, “Don’t. It’s not because you were late for work, is it? It’s okay to deduct your salary, you’ve earned so much in bonuses.”
Lu Wanwan, holding her resignation letter, expressed regretfully, “I’m going to miss the bonuses from here.”
Suddenly someone in the office shouted, “Xiaolu, are you really getting together with Bai Lingyun?”
All at once, a sea of eyes turned toward her.
Tang Xiao was still in a haze, not understanding, “What are you talking about?”
“Check out the news.”
Once again, “Star Headlines” broke the story first, with Bai Lingyun and a female reporter from “Zui Entertainment” spending the night in a private residence.
The scandal between the movie star and the entertainment journalist made this expose especially interesting to read.
Tang Xiao’s jaw almost dropped, looking at the photo with disbelief on his face.
Although the faces in the car weren’t very clear in the photos, they could instantly tell that it indeed was Lu Wanwan.
“Damn,” said Tang Xiao, turning to look at Lu Wanwan, “Bai Lingyun didn’t just drop you off at work, did he?”
Lu Wanwan, her face calm, saw each of their eyes widen in surprise, “I took the bus.”
“But just now you were indeed in his car, that couldn’t be Photoshopped,” someone questioned.
Not bothering to explain so much, she dismissed it, “He troubled himself to drop me off at the bus station.”
“Eh, Wanwan, you were wearing the same clothes yesterday,” Tang Xiao suddenly recalled, “So nothing must’ve happened between you two, right?”
