Huo Junyu was completely bewildered; the explicit dialogue and vulgar language were so offensive that they made his eyes water.
"What is that!" he scoffed.
Wen Jie told him the truth: "These are Gu Zihan's chat logs with a male escort."
Huo Junyu was taken aback, his expression changing, "Male...public relations officer?"
“Yes,” Wen Jie chuckled, “the kind of men you see in nightclubs, handsome and well-built, who specialize in pleasing rich women!”
Huo Junyu felt nauseous.
"Gu Zihan has this kind of fetish?"
“At first, I didn’t believe it either,” Wen Jie shrugged. “Although Gu Zihan doesn’t have a great reputation in this industry, I still couldn’t believe she was so lonely that she would hire a male escort. Later, I…”
"You tried it yourself?" Huo Junyu had a sharp eye and could tell right away.
Wen Jie was stunned, then nodded with a complicated expression.
Then he told him the whole process:
"I heard she likes to go to male escorts, so I registered an account and pretended to be a male escort to chat with her. I didn't expect her to actually take the bait! She's been trying to meet me these past few days!"
Huo Junyu was dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Then I used this account to get close to a few real male escorts," Wen Jie continued. "Those guys had all served Miss Gu. Ha, people like them always keep something in reserve, so they have a lot of dirt on Miss Gu... This chat screenshot is just the tip of the iceberg!"
“So,” Huo Junyu glanced at him, “Gu Zihan is actually not a well-behaved rich girl. She pretends to be sensible and innocent on the internet, but her fans have all been fooled by her!”
Wen Jie nodded, "That's exactly right."
Huo Junyu snorted coldly.
This Gu Zihan is not only arrogant and haughty, but also stupid. She's not difficult to deal with at all.
Let's ruin her public image first, and give Jiang Mianmian some venting first.
"I need your help with this," Huo Junyu said in a low voice. "You must handle it well. It's time to take off the mask of a rich girl!"
"I know," Wen Jie smiled. "I know what to do, and I'll make sure your little bunny is happy!"
Huo Junyu was surprised that his thoughts had been seen through so quickly, and his expression became even more somber.
"Hey, boss..." Wen Jie teased him again, "I've made a huge sacrifice this time! I've turned myself into a male escort, so tell me, how are you going to thank me?"
Huo Junyu was about to retort with "Get lost," but before he could speak, a soft voice came from behind him: "Huo Yu, is this your friend?"
"Huh?" Wen Jie was startled by her.
Huo Junyu remained calm, looking at Jiang Mianmian and nodding gently.
Wen Jie, with a forced smile, stepped forward to shake hands with Jiang Mianmian, but was glared at by Huo Junyu and turned away.
"Hello, hello..." Wen Jie withdrew his hand, unsure of where to put it. "My name is Wen Jie, I am..."
“Mr. Wen,” Jiang Mianmian said with a serious yet polite expression, “Mr. Wen is indeed a man of great talent, but this job is not a long-term solution. You should plan for your future.”
"Huh?" Wen Jie couldn't understand what she was saying.
But then he saw Jiang Mianmian holding Huo Junyu's arm. The delicate and frail woman standing next to him gave off a soft and vulnerable feeling, like a little bird clinging to someone.
“Mr. Wen, my son A-Yu is honest and kind, and only suitable for doing honest work... Heh, it seems we are not on the same page and cannot work together…”
"And our Ah Yu will prioritize family from now on and will never go out to do anything that will attract attention!" Jiang Mianmian's throat was dry. She looked up at Huo Junyu and asked him softly, as if seeking a united front, "Right, Ah Yu?"
Huo Junyu was stunned for a moment.
However, he and Wen Jie quickly realized that Jiang Mianmian had heard them say "male escort"!
Not only did she hear it, but she also clearly misunderstood it, as could be seen from the way she looked at Wen Jie!
Huo Junyu suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Wen Jie panicked and was about to explain when Huo Junyu interrupted him: "Yes, Wen Jie, don't come looking for me again! I really can't do the kind of thing you're talking about!"
"..." Holy crap!
Wen Jie's eyes widened, and a million curses ran through his mind!
Jiang Mianmian felt a warmth in her heart, and her little hand holding his arm tightened even more.
Huo Junyu smiled at her, then looked at Wen Jie with a serious expression: "I know, back when we were in there, you wanted me to do this kind of work with you... But Wen Jie, Mianmian is right, being a male escort is really not a long-term solution!"
"Huo..."
"Perhaps you should start thinking about your future!"
Wen Jie flared his nostrils and panted heavily.
Huo Junyu was so frustrated by his suppressed laughter that his stomach ached. He then swaggered off to the beach with Jiang Mianmian, leaving Wen Jie standing there bewildered...
Not long after the two left, Huo Junyu's phone started buzzing.
Messages kept coming in:
"You surnamed Huo, you owe me compensation for defamation!"
"Big brother, please, explain to Jiang Mianmian, I'm not some male escort!!"
"You've ruined my innocence all night long!"
Huo Junyu chuckled and replied, "You handled Gu Zihan's matter beautifully. I'll consider clearing your name!"
Then he turned off his phone and focused on watching the sea with Jiang Mianmian.
The deep blue sea merges with the night sky, and countless stars and distant lights reflect each other.
Huo Junyu looked down and saw that the little girl's hand was still on his arm. He didn't know if she had forgotten or if she had done it on purpose.
He prefers to believe the latter.
He chuckled softly, a chuckle that reminded Jiang Mianmian beside him.
Jiang Mianmian paused for a few seconds, blushed, let go of his hand, and then whispered to him, "I'm so sorry, I forgot."
Huo Junyu suddenly felt that the air wasn't as sweet as it had been.
“Hmm…and,” Jiang Mianmian looked into his eyes, “was my attitude towards your friend just now…not good?”
No, why do you say that?
"I shouldn't restrict your relationship just because he's a male escort. Everyone has their own way of making a living. Maybe he has his reasons for being a male escort!"
"Maybe he just gave in to his own bad behavior," Huo Junyu said with a smile. Wen Jie had always been quick-witted and sharp-tongued in school; he could never win an argument with him.
But I never expected that one day he would make fun of me like this!
"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore," Huo Junyu said in a low voice. "I think it's quite late, let's go back and rest early."
Jiang Mianmian nodded.
This time she walked in front, and he watched her from behind.
The phone vibrated again at that moment.
It was Wen Jie again who sent the message: "Boss, you've almost driven me crazy tonight. There's something important I haven't told you... I went to Yangcheng a couple of days ago, and your parents hope you can go back there!"
