Chapter 537: Besmirched

Chapter 537: Besmirched

“Why should I like her?” Lu Qin pouted, each word dripping in distaste. “Both of you are equally matched in terms of family background and acting ability. She merely lucked out by meeting my dumb brother and shot a few decent movies. If you were to shoot the same movies, you would be just as famous now.”

The corner of Su Muran’s lips curved up, further embellishing her beauty. She plucked a rose from the plant, drops of shiny dew still clinging onto its petals. Everyone loves compliments and flatteries, they can make anyone happy. She knew Lu Qin was trying to get on her good side, but she enjoyed it all the same.

“How is she doing, staying at your place?” Su Muran asked casually.

“What do you think?” Lu Qin’s eyes flashed in anger. “My grandpa has yet to acknowledge her, and almost beaten Lu Yi to death. This type of woman has no place in the Lu family. I wonder what kind of sorcery did she use to bewitch my cousin and force the Lu family to accept her. He was always a reserved person and already had a girlfriend. Oh right, she was a university lecturer and was on the same societal level as us.”

“Oh…” Su Muran muttered. However, it was a fake reaction, tinged with an ambiguous notion. Only time could tell what this notion would mean in the future.

She was manipulating Lu Qin, but he was unaware and had no plans against her.

From the very beginning, there was never the term ‘innocent’ between the both of them.

Despite that, their goals aligned, and thus both were working amicably together.

Lei Qingyi stood on the chair as he wolfed down the instant hotpot. He had grown tired of feasting on large expensive meals and this type of instant hotpot tasted quite agreeable to him. He particularly liked it, so he ate it daily in his office without letting anyone stop him. This phenomena made the others question his sanity.

What idiots, what could ever be wrong with him. To him, it was the finest hotpot he ever tasted.

When he was trapped under the mudslide with others for about five days, they survived solely on these instant hotpots. They tasted heavenly during that time of desperation and since then, no other cuisine could come close to tasting as fine as them.

He took out his phone and scrolled through the news as he ate, with one leg perched on the chair. He was drenched in sweat eating it, even his breath smelled like the hotpot.

He usually just browsed through the military news, maybe because he was a man. But Yi Ling on the other hand loved her entertainment section. She was a lady after all and she did work in that field, so she always knew someone on the news.

As he was looking, he reached the entertainment section. He made it a priority upon reaching home everyday to chatter about the ongoings in the entertainment field to Yi Ling, so that she would not be too bored, trapped within the walls.

Scrolling through the pages, news of different dating scandals and celebrities’ fashion decisions popped out to him. There were endless news of celebrities dating and breaking up, only to make up later.

He never knew what the fascination was with these unhealthy topics.

His eyes scanned tirelessly across the news pages. If it wasn’t for Yi Ling, he would have never wasted his time on these useless information.

Oh, this is not too bad.

“Uncovering the secrets of a prominent figure in the industry.”

This seemed like it would be a bloodbath.

He clicked on it.

According to sources, celebrity Y became a mistress to rise in the industry.

He clicked his tongue in excitement. The article was quite interesting, and Lei Qingyi was greatly amused reading it. This news was like no other, it described how she climbed up in the industry, how she kicked out the wife, and how she shamelessly resisted opposition from the family. She tricked the grandfather into beating her husband so violently that he almost became disabled. Their facade of true love was built on the pain of others; is she not embarrassed at all? Her husband had a girlfriend at that time too, who was working as a university lecturer. She was innocent and an unfortunate victim of Y’s selfish desires.

Lei Qingyi suddenly frowned as this story sounded vaguely familiar. Where had he heard it before?

University girlfriend, slapped by the parent, Y, Yan?

“Holy sh*t!”

Lei Qingyi put down his leg in shock. Was this news talking about Yan Huan?

In disbelief, he scrolled down to look at the comments.

Everyone guessed who this celebrity was with the name Y.

There were already thousands of replies under that comment.

He scrolled further down.

“I guess it’s Yan Huan.”

“Me too. Coincidentally, my university lecturer was Mr Lu’s girlfriend but they broke up later for no obvious reasons.”

Lei Qingyi’s expression paled as he looked further down.

Oh no, if Yi Ling found out about this, she would be absolutely fuming to the point that she would just give birth on the spot.

He quickly reached for his phone and called Lu Yi.

Lu Yi was reading through his materials with one hand while the other was typing furiously on his laptop. As the year end was approaching, he was extremely busy, often forgetting his meals. However, he would never miss drinking his milk twice a day.

He answered the call.

“What is it, Qingyi? Is your wife going into labour soon?”

If you were to count the days, Yi Ling should be giving birth soon. Lei Qingyi’s call could be about his baby being born.

“Labour my a*s. It’s not the time yet.” Lei Qingyi hated the idea of his child being born now. Little Thunder had not even grown enough, he was only nine months old. It would be great to wait another month for Chinese New Year so that his birthday would fall on an auspicious day.

His wife had also asked for the fortune teller’s advice, and he told her that a baby born on Chinese New Year would live a prosperous and peaceful life. However, his only wish was for the baby to be delivered safely and to grow up healthily.

“Lu Yi, do you know that your wife has been besmirched?”

Besmirched? Lu Yi flung the documents onto his table.

“Who did you say was besmirched?”

“Who else?” Lei Qingyi rolled his eyes. “Look at it yourself, I don’t know who did it. Although there is no name mentioned, all the hints are pretty obvious. A husband who is working as a high ranking officer and dated a university lecturer.”

Lei Qingyi could only laugh.

If even strangers could guess it, then of course they could too.
