Chapter 270 Scandal Isolator
"So even you think they're a good match! Wen Ni, you don't usually follow the entertainment industry, so you might not know, but Lu Jinye is known in the industry as being completely immune to scandals!"
Anxi nodded solemnly and began to chatter on about what she knew.
"To date, Tang Zi is the first and only female celebrity who, after being rumored to be dating him and then having her relationship clarified, is still able to appear in the same frame as him!"
"Oh~"
"Oh? Just one?"
Anxi hissed, suddenly realizing something!
"Wen Ni, you and Tang Zi are so close, you don't know anything about this, do you? Could it be that she and Lu Jinye are really..."
"Huh? I didn't, I don't know."
Wen Ni waved her hand to indicate that she knew nothing.
Looking up, they saw Tang Zi, who had just been talking to Lu Jinye, now beaming and waving in their direction, "Wen Ni! An Xi! Come quick!"
Looking at Lu Jinye standing next to Tang Zi, he also turned his head slightly at this moment. His cold and interesting gaze seemed to casually sweep across Wen Ni's cheek!
They had lunch together today.
They left together.
We rode in the same car together.
They've only been apart for a little over ten minutes, and now they have to pretend to be complete strangers in front of everyone...
This feeling is quite strange.
Even Wen Ni, who is usually good at disguising herself, was a little uncomfortable!
No matter how she tried to disguise it, every time she met Lu Jinye's expressionless face, she felt a strange sense of disconnect...
The way he is in front of her, and the way he is in front of others.
They're like completely different people!
"Wen Ni, you're finally here~"
Tang Zi warmly pulled her arm around his. "I knew you wouldn't miss my and Anxi's performance~ But it's quite a coincidence that you and Brother Lu arrived here one after the other... Are you sure you didn't come together?"
“Didn’t you know I went to North City for a competition?” Wen Ni said calmly. “He’s in Gotham City. We don’t go that way.”
"Really?" Tang Zi raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
Anxi, who was standing to the side feeling a little uncomfortable, was immediately confused upon hearing these words. "Wait a minute, from what you're saying, Wen Ni, you... know Mr. Lu Jinye too??"
Or rather, it shouldn't be as simple as just knowing each other?
"Ahem." Wen Ni cleared her throat, and for some reason lowered her voice somewhat guiltily, "Yes, we know each other."
"As expected! I knew you must know some inside information!" Anxi was still preoccupied with the rumors about Lu Jinye and Tang Zi, and hadn't thought about anything else.
Tang Zi chuckled, raising a finger with a meaningful look. "They know each other more than just each other. I got into PTA Entertainment thanks to Wen Ni. Even this time, getting Lu Jinye, this big shot, to accept the music festival invitation and help promote it is all thanks to Wen Ni!"
"Huh?" Anxi's brain instantly went blank.
"Wen Ni, please don't take what those people said to heart!" Tang Zi smiled and whispered in Wen Ni's ear, "Right now, I only have pure colleague feelings for Brother Lu! If you misunderstand anything because of this, I'm afraid some people will go crazy and ruin my acting career~"
"Why are you gossiping like Qin Yuan and the others?" Wen Ni glanced at her sideways, a warning in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "He and I are just friends."
"Fine, fine~ If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it~ I'll see how long you can keep deceiving yourself! Haha~" Tang Zi laughed heartily.
Anxi, whose brain had shut down, was still counting on her fingers, not quite able to process what was happening, when Lu Jinye, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up!
"Wen Ni, you left your scarf on the hotel table. I'll have Qin Yuan bring it to you in a bit."
"..."
This time, it was the three of them who fell silent.
Hotel, scarf, dining table...
"Wen Ni, things are going quite smoothly~" Tang Zi spoke first, covering her mouth and laughing jokingly!
The Anxi next door has completely crashed; its CPU overheated.
"Enough, enough... It's not what you think..." Wen Ni sighed inwardly, rubbing her forehead in exasperation.
Knowing she couldn't explain herself, she simply grabbed one of them with each hand and dragged Tang Zi and An Xi away from the scene, saying, "Tang Zi, are you still going to perform later? Stop gossiping here! Let's go, let's get out of here!"
"What's the rush? Tell me honestly what's going on between you two!" Tang Zi put her arm around Wen Ni's shoulder, making a noisy gesticulation, but nothing could stop her from moving forward.
Anxi, who had been in a daze, finally came to her senses, but she wasn't fully 'alive' yet. Like a robot, she kept repeating incredulously, "I must have misheard, I must have misheard, it can't be..."
How could a friend of yours be involved with the famous, aloof, and scandal-free Master Lu? Anyone would find this hard to accept.
Until you are completely away from the waiting area at a certain distance
Wen Ni suddenly realized a crucial question!
Where did she get the scarf?
She didn't wear a scarf at all, okay?
That Lu Jinye! He's deliberately trying to mislead people again!
It's her fault, she didn't react for a moment!
The three of them, each with their own thoughts, walked to the door of the lounge.
The door to the lounge was ajar, and the corridor was so quiet that the voices of a man and a woman could be clearly heard inside.
"I never dreamed that Anxi would be doing so well now, and that she would actually get to know a top singer like Tang Zi! Ha! Compared to her, the two of us are like appendages, more like two clowns doing odd jobs, following her around every day, and we don't even get any credit for our efforts!" The girl's voice was full of resentment and dissatisfaction.
"Even if we can get on stage at the music festival as Tang Zi's guest performer, she can still become famous by leveraging Tang Zi's fame. As for the two of us, we're just background characters, what benefits can we possibly gain?" The male voice sneered.
It's easy to tell that the two people speaking are Yin Pianpian and Zou Wei, members of the Anxi Band.
Wen Ni subconsciously looked at Anxi.
She lowered her eyes and lowered her hand, which was hanging by her side, and slowly clenched it into a fist!
The two people inside the door were still talking.
"Zou Wei, I truly feel indignant on your behalf! Since the formation of our band, you have been responsible for most of the lyrics and music. Anxi only became the lead singer because of her good voice and looks, and she has stolen all the limelight! Everyone who has heard our songs only remembers her; no one cares who wrote the lyrics and composed the music, or who provided the accompaniment!"
"Heh... So, Pianpian, I advise you to find a new partner in advance. What if she becomes successful one day and kicks you to the curb? You'll be left crying!" Zou Wei sneered.
"Humph? Then I'll learn from you. Before she kicks me away, I'll kick her out first! I'll make sure she never becomes famous!" Yin Pianpian's tone was disdainful and indifferent!
Her best and most trusted partner said these unexpected words to Anxi. Every word was like a sharp silver needle piercing her heart!
Even Wen Ni and Tang Zi, two outsiders, felt indignant upon hearing this!
And what about Anxi?
The door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
Just as Yin Pianpian and Zou Wei were about to leave, they ran right into An Xi!
This complete lack of preparedness caused them to smile slightly, and for a moment they were at a loss for what to do...
