Chapter 243: Is this how you untie the knot?

Chapter 243: Is this how you untie the knot?

As Fu Yanjing was coming up, he received a video call.

Song Zaicheng's bar opening became Xu Xiangbai's best place to drown his sorrows.

He abandoned his carefree image as a nightclub prince, sitting there without drinking a drop of wine offered to the beautiful women.

They even complained that the perfume smell was too strong, and after drinking half of their drinks, they changed to a newly cleaned empty private room.

They openly displayed their loneliness, desolation, and hurt.

Even the masked female DJ downstairs, who was incredibly hot and had a blast in the dance floor, didn't pique Xu Xiangbai's interest in the slightest.

Who hurt him so deeply?

This can't go on forever.

I don't know which stupid person has been so diligent in using their brain and has come up with such a terrible idea.

He used his wealth to call all of Xu Xiangbai's ex-girlfriends from Jiangbei, those he could contact since high school.

They stood in a straight row.

Let Xu Xiangbai identify it.

Which one is the bad woman who hurt his heart?

However, the person involved was intoxicated and became completely unconscious.

He kept his eyes closed and cried out "wer ah wer ah".

Two people held him down, and Xie Ting tried to pry open his eyelids, but they couldn't get past this stubborn guy who was immersed in his own world of sadness.

After putting on such a grand show, we can't just leave empty-handed, can we?

I had no other choice but to make a video call to Fu Yanjing.

He has a close relationship with Xu Xiangbai, so he might know more.

In the video, Xie Ting scratches his head, "Young Master Fu, can you show us the way?"

Even if you cure this kind of person, they'll still drool.

Fu Yanjing was too lazy to scold him.

I was thinking of lighting a cigarette.

As he glanced down at the woman who was intently slurping her noodles, the lighter he had flipped shut closed again.

He then fiddled with the cigarette in his hand, his tone carrying an ambiguous detachment, "Hurry up and get this bunch of people out of here, or tomorrow you'll be waiting for Xu Xiangbai to collect your corpse."

Xie Ting was shocked: "It's that serious?"

"Who on earth is so capable to make Young Master Xu act like this? If his white moonlight weren't in there, wouldn't he just find any woman to rekindle their romance? Getting over a breakup is that simple, isn't it?"

This group of people are indiscriminate in their sexual activities; it's perfectly normal for them to sleep with a woman while drunk and with mutual consent.

Although Xu Xiangbai is better than them, he wouldn't be so casual.

Although I've made quite a few friends over the years, I haven't been promiscuous.

However, since they are all his ex-girlfriends, there shouldn't be any problem.

Xie Ting actually started seriously selecting concubines for Xu Xiangbai.

Ask Fu Yanjing for his opinion.

"What do you think of the one on the far right? Young Master Xu dated her for three months back then."

But she was deterred by the man's cold gaze, which was even visible through the screen.

"Is this never going to end?"

Xie Ting, realizing her mistake, said, "I'll shut up now and get out of here."

He hung up the phone in a hurry.

Feeling awkward, Xie Ting waved his hand irritably, "You can all leave."

But the man, who was lying face down on the table and was originally a drunken mess, suddenly made a muffled sound.

"An Yu... An Yu..."

His slurred speech made it difficult for people to understand him.

All I could hear was the word "peace".

Xie Ting was taken aback and looked at the row of women with a puzzled expression.

"Among you, who has the surname An?"

The little model at the very edge raised her hand, her face radiating innocence, and timidly said, "I... my stage name is Annie."

Xie Ting slapped his thigh, "You've been hiding it well! Why didn't you admit it sooner!"

Anne lowered her head. "I don't want to have any more entanglement with him."

She really put on a convincing act.

But deep down, he knew better than anyone that he was fraudulently claiming the money.

She hadn't been in contact with Xu Xiangbai for ages.

She cried her heart out during the breakup, but it didn't win him back even for a single day.

But so what?

The men in this circle are the most heartless.

One night is enough to get resources, and I won't do anything to her.

Anne suppressed her excitement and acted out the story, half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"I was hurt too deeply by him when we broke up, so I didn't dare... I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be so persistent this time."

The one who tied the knot must untie it.

Xie Ting couldn't understand it.

Although this girl looks rather innocent, she's quite refreshing.

But it's not exactly stunning, is it? How did it become Xu Xiangbai's signature?

At least the culprit has been found.

He beckoned Annie over.

What a coincidence!

Xu Xiangbai suddenly stopped making a fuss.

He leaned back on the leather sofa, his eyes glazed over, the corners of his eyes red and wet.

He mumbled a self-deprecating laugh, barely audible, "I've really gone mad."

Xie Ting dismissed everyone in the room and looked at Annie.

"Alright, let's get your business sorted out quickly. Don't try to act all high and mighty. This is the eldest son of the Xu family. The benefits of pleasing him will be much greater than walking the runway for you."

Yes~

He Jiayu's road to returning to the public eye has been anything but smooth.

First of all, the severe reduction in resources and the skipping of grades was the most unacceptable thing for her.

He Jiayu has enjoyed considerable success in the entertainment industry.

Directors and producers alike know perfectly well that she has powerful backers.

But her scandals could erupt all at once and last for so long.

It is obvious that they have offended the powerful capitalists they should not have offended.

Therefore, no one was willing to take the risk and rashly use her.

Holding multiple awards and having graced the international stage several times, it's disheartening to suddenly find oneself competing for resources with fourth-tier companies in just two months.

Secondly, netizens are not buying it.

Massive loss of followers, fan site administrators collectively absconding, and haters reveling.

The studio posted some behind-the-scenes footage from their previous work a couple of days ago, and the comments section was full of insults.

The comments from die-hard, brainless fans were instantly torn to shreds.

[The "dog-abusing sister" has quietly come out to test the limits of netizens.]

Do you really think the internet has no memory? If so, then you're an exception. After all, there are 80s kids in school and 80s kids in the workplace, okay?

What's wrong with you people? You keep calling her "dog-abusing sister" and "80s sister," doesn't anyone remember she's the "rumor-mongering sister"?

[Reply: You didn't let her off the hook either, upstairs.]

[It's the truth, okay? It's an utterly undeserved disaster for this beautiful reporter. Indiscriminately liking someone else's fabricated post—isn't that just cyberbullying using her status? And she even dared to champion justice.]

[No, I just got online. Wasn't she her first love with a Hong Kong entertainment industry tycoon? When did they break up?]

[The clarification post has been circulating online for ages. This woman is completely self-serving and orchestrated this whole thing. Did you go back to a cave?]

[Don't just focus on criticizing her! Has no one checked out this beautiful reporter's Weibo? Lately, every interview she does makes it onto the trending topics list. Whether you read the news or not, her face alone is a feast for the eyes.]

[Insider information: This beautiful reporter will be attending the 23rd Jiangbei City Journalists' Ceremony. Anyone with connections should go and join the fun! She has a pretty good chance of winning.]

Come on, ladies, let's not stay in this smoky place anymore. I'm going to see some beautiful reporters to cleanse my eyes!

[Who can understand the sense of redemption felt when seeing the beautiful reporter who was wrongly accused rise to fame through her own abilities and hard work, while the woman who spread rumors suffered a dramatic decline in her career?]

"You bitch!"

The phone was smashed against the wall and shattered into pieces instantly.

He Jiayu stared fiercely at the wall.

He never imagined that one day he would be able to be overpowered by Wen Jin.

A sinister smile curled at the corners of her lips.

Wen Jin also wants to steal the spotlight, but not a chance.

What kind of career-oriented, beautiful reporter relies on hard work and ability? She insists on tearing apart Wen Jinye's persona!
