"Lu Xintang, what are you trying to do!"
Hearing the anxious and angry voice, Gan Tang turned around and saw Fu Cheng coming over with a livid face, throwing a large stack of documents onto the table.
Looking at the spilled coffee, Gan Tang softly reminded him, "Instead of investigating me, Brother, you should think about what's next and how to resolve it."
Fu Cheng stood behind the railing, looking down at everything that was happening in front of Lin Shuang's car. Gan Tang walked up to him and said sarcastically, "Don't you dare? I thought you liked her a lot, but you're just a coward."
Fu Cheng's grip on the railing tightened noticeably.
Reporters gathered in front of the red carpet, having received the news, swarmed towards the exit. A celebrity removed from the organizers' list—a first in history—whoever got the first photos would make it headline news.
Gan Tang sighed, "What a pity. Such a beautiful woman has worked hard in the entertainment industry for so many years, and tomorrow she will have to retire with a tarnished reputation. It's really pitiful."
Then, Gan Tang emphasized: "She has ended up like this because of you."
Fu Cheng was furious and roared again, "What exactly do you want?"
Gan Tang sneered: "Can't someone as smart as Big Brother see it?"
Fu Cheng grabbed Gan Tang by the neck and threatened, "Go and clarify things now, and I can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what? You're threatening me again." Gan Tang angrily slapped his hand away. "Do you think I have no evidence and would just tell Dad about your affair? I'm giving you a choice now: to respect Mo Huaixing by calling you 'Big Brother'!"
Fu Cheng picked up the documents and left.
Gan Tang called out to him.
"Rumors can't be cleared up. When it comes to a female celebrity's achievements, people are more willing to believe in her shady dealings than in terms of hard work, dedication, and intelligence. Your clarification will only further solidify her stigma. Unless, there is a more convincing truth. You have no choice now, unless you are willing to watch her fall into the mire."
Fu Cheng froze.
Gan Tang ignored him and looked in Lin Shuang's direction: "Oh no, the reporters have all swarmed us. There's no way to leave now. This is Lin Shuang's first public appearance since the scandal. It'll be trending on social media in ten minutes. And what will the marketing accounts write?"
At this point, Gan Tang turned to Fu Cheng and teased, "It doesn't seem to affect you at all. It doesn't stop you from having a good time in bed."
The Phoenix Feather Cultural Center, the largest cultural theater in Jinhai City, looks like a tiny, insignificant nanny van when viewed from above. But at this moment, all the flashing lights are surrounding it, like a cage, tightly locking the people inside.
Lin Shuang mustered up her courage to come here, naively thinking that the rumors would be dispelled after tonight, but the truth is, she didn't even have the right to enter.
"Stop filming, everyone!"
Outside the car, Lin Shuang's agent stood in front of the windshield to block the flashing lights. Inside the car, Lin Shuang nestled in her assistant's arms, her meticulously styled hair now disheveled.
A loud horn blared, and Zhou Shan leaned out of the car window, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Get out of the way!"
The reporters who were watching turned their heads and saw a limited edition Ferrari parked behind. Although they didn't know who was inside, given how expensive the car was, everyone consciously made way for it.
But the car didn't drive over. Zhou Shan got out of the car and opened the door. Fu Cheng got out and walked to Lin Shuang's car, politely saying, "This isn't a place for taking pictures. Reporters, if you want to take pictures, please move to the red carpet area."
The planning manager of Orange Light Video immediately recognized the young man as one of the investors. The CEO had specially invited him to the party.
"Mr. Fu, please forgive me, I'll get this car out of here right away..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Cheng shouted, "The party is about to start, why hasn't my fiancée's car gone in yet?"
"Fiancée?" The manager's teeth chattered.
Fu Cheng asked again, "Can we go in now?"
"Of course, of course," the manager called out to the reporters. "If you want to take photos or ask questions, please move to the red carpet area. Our superstar Lin Shuang is about to walk the red carpet."
Fu Cheng walked around to the driver's side door, told the driver to get out, and drove in himself.
The reporters gathered were all entertainment reporters; only a few knew Fu Cheng. As the car drove in, one person asked the person next to him in confusion, "Didn't they say Lin Shuang couldn't come? Who is this?"
"The general manager of the Lu Group."
"My God, Lin Shuang is actually the fiancée of the general manager of the Lu Group!" The person asking the question looked surprised. "Then are the rumors about her and the Jiang family heir false?"
"That must be fake. Although the Jiang family is just as rich as the Lu family, they are in power, which is better than the heirs."
The person asking the question nodded. "The key point is, she's your fiancée, and you're going to get married."
Another female reporter said enviously, "He's so handsome, even more handsome than Jiang Chen. The key is, he has the charm of a successful man."
As fewer and fewer people remained around them, those who had gathered to talk suddenly realized, "Don't ask anymore, all the good seats will be taken soon."
With that, he took off running towards the red carpet area.
Inside the car, Lin Shuang's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked completely lost as she stared at Fu Cheng. Her assistant hurriedly took out foundation to touch up her makeup. Fortunately, her makeup was waterproof, so it was easy to fix; only her hair was messed up.
"President Cheng, Sister Shuang's hairstyle is messed up, what should we do?"
Fu Cheng took out his phone and sent a message to Zhou Shan.
The car stopped, and Lin Shuang finally came to her senses, her eyes trembling slightly: "Why did you come?"
For her, what she least wanted was not embarrassment, but for him to see her embarrassment.
Fu Cheng didn't say anything, got out of the car and opened the back door. At that moment, Zhou Shan rushed over, carrying a box.
The box was opened, revealing a crown made entirely of crystal, dazzling and radiant. This was the crown he had spotted at the auction house, feeling it perfectly suited his sparkling beauty, but it had always remained in his car, never daring to take it out.
Fu Cheng leaned over and peered into the car.
"Let me protect you this once, okay?"
He reached out and loosened her hair, placing the crystal crown he had been hesitant to give her on her head. Then he opened his palm and invited her to join him.
Lin Shuang felt as if she were in a dream. She obediently placed her hand in his palm and let him pull her out of the car.
He accompanied her down the red carpet, under the spotlight, and from beginning to end, he never let go of her hand, from holding hands to interlocking their fingers.
The hustle and bustle has subsided, and the cold moon shines like frost.
At the entrance of the villa, Fu Cheng, a member of the Green Dragon Gang, knelt upright with a determined look in his eyes. Lin Shuang knelt beside him, their shadows overlapping in the moonlight.
In the living room, Gan Tang shook Lu Zhengqian's arm and pleaded, "Dad, they've been kneeling for an hour already, please just let them be together."
Sitting on Lu Zhengqian's other side, Su Su added fuel to the fire: "It hasn't been that long, and the young master is already so affectionate. Could it be that Lin Shuang and you two were already having an affair when she was by your side?"
With a loud slap, Lu Zhengqian struck that precious face for the first time. Su Su covered her face and dared not utter another word.
Lu Zhengqian got up and walked out of the villa, throwing a dagger in front of Fu Cheng, his murderous aura surging: "If you kill her with your own hands, you'll still be my good adopted son."
