"Yeah, the major media outlets have already started writing their joint statements. In a few minutes, you’ll see the latest developments on the door-opening incident, revealing your identity. That person turned out to be Young Master Gu, is he actually not gay?"
"Wait, you mean..." Lu Wanwan’s fingers were ice cold.
She had thought it was just a hot topic hitching a ride on Bai Lingyun’s fame, and had just been relieved that her marriage to Gu Annan had not been made public. His identity had always been low-profile and he steered clear of the media.
Who knew that it would still explode.
"That’s right, think about it, there won’t be many nice things said. Wanwan, you tell me first, is he really gay? If he is, even if yours is a marriage of convenience, that... might be slightly better."
"He’s not," Lu Wanwan said with a bitter smile, "Xiaoxiao, do you also think that I am opening a room with Bai Lingyun?"
Tang Xiao hesitated a bit, "When I heard about it, I didn’t believe it. But then, the video... Later I thought, even though your boyfriend already has enough to make people dedicate their heart, but since he’s so outstanding, what if he’s a playboy who cheats? Were you angry in the moment and so, with Bai Lingyun... cough, just to provoke him?"
"Xiaoxiao, I can’t explain. Anyway, this time I was set up, and the reality is certainly not what it looks like. But even you... "
Tang Xiao must have been working overtime, facing her computer.
Suddenly she said, "It’s out. Wanwan, how did you get involved in such a big scandal. It’s already driving the fans insane just spreading gossip with Bai Lingyun, and now it’s also revealed that you’re a married woman, moreover the wife of the president who currently chairs the Gu Group. ’Star Headlines’ even got photos of the mysterious man taking you away, and now everyone is saying that the heir of the Gu Group is reporting Bai Lingyun’s illegal transactions, when in reality caught cheating on his wife."
Lu Wanwan took a deep breath, "Xiaoxiao, let me ask you something. So many media suddenly got the same message, where’s the source? Did your agency receive similar notification?"
"Of course, but the higher-ups said too many people were following it, and since it wasn’t exclusive, we just let it be. It’s bizarre, it’s rare to see our agency so unenthusiastic in the face of such news. The source, it’s not hard to trace, about half an hour into the incident, an entertainment blogger received a private tip-off, then he shared it with major media outlets and made a teaser on Weibo. He definitely made a splash."
It seemed impossible to find out who was behind it.
Though Weibo required real-name registration, the person who sent that private message would definitely not use their real name.
If they wanted to remain anonymous, they would obviously choose an untraceable identity.
Such news breaking was bound to have a big impact on the Gu Group.
Gu Annan must have left abruptly because he had received advance notice.
After hanging up, she searched for the recent exposé. Not many outlets had published it, but it was at the height of popularity and the shares were astounding.
This time, it not only implicated illegal transactions and the popular actor Bai Lingyun but also the Gu Group.
Bringing down something so hot was not going to be easy.
In the end, Lu Wanwan turned off her cell phone.
This was a mess she had caused, and she would definitely take responsibility, whatever it took.
She left her room and went downstairs.
"Young Madam, you can’t go out," Auntie Li said anxiously when she saw her, "The young master has ordered that you are not to leave here without his permission."
