The atmosphere in the car was not as icy as she had imagined it would be. Although Shen Liangchuan was still expressionless, she somehow felt that he wasn’t unhappy.
She assumed he wasn’t mad at her anymore.
She thought for a while and then ventured testing his reaction. “Shen Liangchuan, were you at the new villa district last night? ”
Shen Liangchuan gave her a brief glance.
Like a child waiting to be reprimanded for her wrongdoings, Qiao Lian sat up immediately.
Shen Liangchuan lowered his gaze to hide his amusement and started up the car. As they drove home, he spoke, “I was having a drink with Mo Xicheng as I was pissed off with somebody.”
Was he trying to explain himself?
Qiao Lian winked and giggled, unaware she was the ‘somebody’ he was referring to.
Her cell phone rang as she was laughing.
A glance at the caller screen revealed it was Su Meimei. The moment Qiao Lian picked up the line, she heard Su Meimei yelling, “Qiao Lian, do you really think Team Two will win by doing this? We’ll see!”
Right after saying those words, Su Meimei hung up.
This person was freaking sick.
But what exactly did she mean by these nasty words?
She unlocked her cell phone and started browsing the news.
An unusual news headline caught her attention. It said:
“Actor M Is Bi? Succumbing to Unspoken Rules!”
The phone almost slipped out of her hands.
Articles about Actor M had had an impact across every news platform in the past few days, and the public had been associating the letter M to Mo Xicheng.
She quickly opened the article and saw the picture that Shi Nianyao had previously posted.
They were spinning a story from the picture!
In the picture, Shen Liangchuan could be seen withdrawing his hand after shutting the door.
Although Nianyao had captured the moment, the shot had been taken from a problematic angle.
From this angle, it looked as if Shen Liangchuan had placed his hand on Mo Xicheng’s waist.
As it wasn’t a frontal shot, no one had picked up that it was Shen Liangchuan. And now the article claimed that Mo Xicheng had hooked up with a wealthy man!
It appeared that Mo Xicheng wasn’t just two-timing his girlfriend, he had also been outed.
Mo Xicheng was bi-sexual.
This vicious report was bound to destroy Mo Xicheng.
All at once, news reports criticizing Mo Xicheng appeared all over the internet, amongst them were personal attacks labeling him as a total disgust.
To scale the career ladder, some people would use all ways and means.
Qiao Lian fumed with rage.
Shen Liangchuan looked at her with much concern.”What happened?”
She shoved the cell phone into his hand and said, “The internet is filled with news of you and Mo Xicheng coming out as a gay couple!”
Shen Liangchuan paused.
“They can say anything they like about Mo Xicheng, but why you? You have never been seen with a girl and I have to say, I did suspect you were in fact gay.”
The atmosphere turned icy at once as these words were spoken.
Qiao Lian quickly changed the topic and commented, “But now I would be the first to rebut anyone who accuses you of being gay! ”
“And how do you intend to do that?” Shen Liangchuan said coldly.
“I am the walking proof!” Qiao Lian answered.
She realized her bluntness and blushed when she saw Shen Liangchuan looking at her steadily.
That statement had been truly narcissistic and self-absorbed.
In this moment of awkwardness and embarrassment, her cell phone rang again.
Picking up the call, she could hear Shi Nianyao yelling at the other end.
