She clicked to exit and no longer pay attention to the matter.
As long as she knew the truth, there was no need to bother.
In the entertainment industry, hype built on rumors happened every day, and those without any follow-up evidence would fade in a couple of days.
If she were to start a fight over such a trivial matter, it would be too degrading.
Moreover, there was the possibility that in the end, her relationship with Lu Hualiang would be exposed.
Xia Weibao went upstairs to change her clothes, planning to go to work, when she received a call from Lu Hualiang.
His voice was clearly tense.
"Honey, the photos online are just a matter of angle, don’t get it wrong," he said.
She hadn’t misunderstood, she was there at the time, what was there to misunderstand?
"You called me just to explain this?"
"Yes." Lu Hualiang’s tone was very calm, but Xia Weibao could hear the nervousness in his voice.
She was somewhat amused.
"You also follow the entertainment gossip?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Hualiang, who was so busy, would actually pay attention to the entertainment industry.
"Sister Shan told me."
Here’s what happened, Sister Shan had been binge-watching a palace drama all night and still had no idea how to scheme against her brother by dawn.
Just then, she saw the news online, immediately jumped up excitedly, and bounced around on the bed for three circles, so excited that she took a dive and landed face-first.
She had been fretting about not catching anything on him, and then he delivered himself right to her door!
So the energized Sister Shan made a phone call to said brother.
Her tone was supremely smug as she said, "Bro, you finally cheated. Now your wife will be mine," and so on.
Lu Hualiang was confused by this, and then Sister Shan cheerfully recounted the news in detail, happily analyzing the aftermath, which essentially was that Lu Hualiang had cheated and got caught by her, she was going to tell on him, then slander and insult him, and as a result, Xia Weibao, her heart grown cold, would divorce him, and then she’d throw herself into her waiting arms, haha...
In the midst of Sister Shan’s final string of manic laughter, Lu Hualiang was too speechless to recognize his sister.
Revealing her plans to stab in the back, the intelligence was somewhat worrisome.
"Sister Shan really cares about you," Xia Weibao sincerely remarked.
Seeing the scandal, afraid that she would be suspicious, she promptly called her own brother to explain, what a good sister.
"Mm." Lu Hualiang responded indifferently, being praised by his wife for the close sibling relationship didn’t put any pressure on him...
"About the photos online, don’t worry, I will have someone clarify," he said.
"I’m not worried, didn’t you forget that I was also there last night? How could I not know the ins and outs of the matter? You don’t need to bother with it either, this kind of gossip will die down in no time."
"You don’t mind?" a spark flashed in Lu Hualiang’s eyes.
"If it’s not true, why should I mind?"
She spoke without a hint of concern, yet Lu Hualiang’s expression grew darker.
Was it because she didn’t care?
"Sweetheart, behave, I still trust you a lot. Don’t worry about me misunderstanding, okay?"
Lu Hualiang’s expression grew even darker, "Mm."
"Let’s leave it at that for now, I need to change and go to work."
"Mm." Lu Hualiang paused for a moment, "Honey, has Sister Shan called you yet?"
"No, why would Sister Shan call me?"
"Nothing, Auntie Zhou mentioned that Sister Shan has been emotionally unstable these days, often doing crazy things, like talking badly about people and so on, just thought I’d give you a heads-up."
