Xiang Jin: "..."
This is the first time I've seen Bai Ningshuang so happy.
She picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into her mouth: "Alright, alright, let's eat. You've been smiling all night, isn't your face stiff?"
"Oh, I'm so happy! I thought things were hopeless, but who knew Mr. Xiao would be so helpful and clear things up for you so quickly. Mrs. Murong, are you satisfied?"
Xiang Jin smiled, her fox-like eyes sparkling: "Satisfied."
"But he did this for Feng Rong's sake, probably because he was afraid that Feng Rong's stock price would be affected. I have that much self-awareness."
Bai Ningshuang nodded in agreement.
"That's one good thing about Ah Jin—she's clear-headed!"
"Come on, let's drink to our soberness!" Bai Ningshuang poured Xiang Jin a glass of beer.
"No, no, no, I can't drink... Murong Xiao will break my legs." Xiang Jin's face turned pale at the thought of Murong Xiao's angry expression.
She was afraid of him; it was ingrained in her very being.
"Hey, isn't he on a business trip abroad? Drink up, I'll take care of anything!" The wine glass was pushed towards Xiang Jin again.
"Okay! We're having fun today, let's indulge ourselves!"
After downing a glass of ice-cold beer, Xiang Jin felt a refreshing chill. She shivered, and soon a thin blush rose on her face.
Bai Ningshuang, who was opposite, suddenly stood up.
"Holy crap! Are these netizens crazy? How could this be fake! It's from the official Weibo account of Fengrong Group, it's officially verified! Are these people brain-dead?!"
"What?"
Bai Ningshuang handed over the phone.
The scandal involving the wife and the mistress has once again topped the trending searches, with the first Weibo post looking like this:
"Something doesn't seem right to me. Murong Xiao got married? When did the wedding take place? When did they get their marriage certificate? Would you dare to publish that on the official Weibo account? You just post a random photo and claim she's the boss's wife, slandering our Xinman as a mistress. Who can accept that?!"
There are already tens of thousands of comments below.
"Exactly, who can prove she's the boss's wife? Just based on a single statement from the official Weibo account?"
"An official Weibo account that doesn't even dare to release a front-facing photo, can you believe it? I certainly don't."
"I see now, this is just an excuse Feng Rong made up to protect his mistress, and he even pinned the blame on Sister Xinman. Poor Sister Xinman..."
...
As the topic gained popularity, the number of comments and reposts increased dramatically, and it quickly spread across the entire internet, even being reported on television.
"Murong Xiao is embroiled in a scandal involving a real and fake marriage."
"I'm so angry!"
Bai Ning skipped her meal and registered a new account, starting a new round of verbal battles.
"Forget it, Shuangshuang, it's unnecessary." The more you explain, the worse it gets; it's better to handle it calmly.
"That won't do!"
"This is clearly Fang Xinman's brainless fans stirring up trouble, turning white into black, and even Feng Rong has been dragged into it. I can't stand this!" Bai Ning typed quickly.
Xiang Jin ate his meal calmly.
While eating, Bai Ningshuang suddenly threw her phone away.
"Damn, my account got banned again! Ah Jin, lend me your phone, I need to continue."
Xiang Jin handed it to her: "Forget it, there are so many people online, we can't possibly argue with them all. Let's eat, Shuangshuang, the food is getting cold."
"All right."
Bai Ningshuang finally gave up struggling.
"Huh, where's my phone?"
Xiang Jin pointed to the trash can.
"Damn it, my iPhone 13... Luckily it wasn't broken..." Bai Ningshuang continued eating, still shaken.
After finishing their meal, Xiang Jin returned to the Lakeside Villa.
"Has Madam been drinking?" Zhou Zhou frowned with concern when she saw her face was flushed.
"Shh, don't let Butler Feng know, he'll tell Murong Xiao. I only had a little bit to drink, I'm not drunk..." Xiang Jin said in a panic.
"I know, I know. Butler Feng isn't here, and the young master hasn't returned yet either, so don't worry. You go upstairs first, and I'll ask Aunt Yang to make some hangover soup so you don't have a headache tomorrow."
Xiang Jin nodded.
Just then, my phone rang.
A video call, Murong Xiao?!
Xiang Jin panicked and immediately clicked "reject"—
My mind went blank for three seconds.
Xiang Jin's mind was filled with only two words: It's over.
She actually hung up on Murong Xiao!
Just then, the phone rang again—
Xiang Jin had a sudden inspiration and rushed back to his room as fast as he could, then pressed the answer button.
"You've gotten quite bold, daring to hang up on me." Murong Xiao on the other end had his usual oppressive face, a sinister voice, and a chilling aura that made Xiang Jin shiver for no reason.
"I was changing clothes just now..."
She stared intently at the ceiling, completely serious...
The person on the other end paused slightly.
"There's no need to reject it, it's not like I haven't seen it before." He smirked and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xiang Jin: "..."
Wow, you're quite the conversationalist.
Xiang Jin silently turned the camera around, aiming it at the room's furnishings...
"Are you shy?" The person on the other end of the video call asked with a smile.
Xiang Jin: "Hmm..."
It's better than seeing her flushed face and knowing she'd been drinking.
There was a soft sneer from the other end.
"I'll be back the day after tomorrow," he said, seemingly out of context.
Xiang Jin: "Hmm..."
Her thin lips curved into a smile, and a soft sweetness suddenly spread throughout her heart.
I have this strange feeling that they're dating...
It was as if he was proactively reporting his itinerary...
Just as Xiang Jin was staring at the ceiling and grinning foolishly, Zhou Zhou suddenly knocked on the door and came in: "Madam, the hangover soup is ready. Come and drink it while it's hot, so you can sleep better afterward~"
