Volume 1 Chapter 18 Rumors
Ever since Gu Chiye said he had no regrets, a strange silence appeared at the dinner table.
At the same time, the live broadcast screen was also in chaos.
【？ ？ ？ ？ 】
[Did I just hear the voice? Mr. Gu said he has no regrets? 】
[No, could it be that I have traveled through time and unknowingly come to a parallel world where Mr. Gu doesn't dislike Zhu Sheng? ]
[Give up resistance, partying every night is the coolest. This product focuses on a time-gap love. When you stop loving me, I just start loving you! I am so excited! ]
Seeing that everyone was hesitant to speak, Director Kong was naturally unwilling to give up this opportunity for the sake of the show's popularity, so he quickly asked, "Mr. Gu, can you start talking?"
Gu Chiye leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said slowly, "This is my choice. I have nothing to regret."
Zhu Sheng was not to be outdone, and took the opportunity to speak to the camera with confidence: "Did you hear me, you little black guys? Stop accusing me of forcing Gu Chi Ye to get married. He was willing to do so."
This answer brings joy to some and sorrow to others.
[It’s over, it’s over. I thought they would get married first and fall in love later. I was so excited for nothing.]
[Let me translate it. As everyone knows, this is a business marriage. Mr. Gu is quite satisfied with the result. It is true that he has no regrets. Now the divorce can be regarded as a peaceful parting with his ex-wife.]
[Again, I would like to remind the above poster that she is still my current boyfriend, not my ex-wife.]
[I don't care, as long as the divorce certificate is not shown, I will not admit that you are partying every night. 】
Lin Muyun looked at Gu Chiye with a complicated expression. This answer made her feel mixed emotions.
Of course she knew the truth about the marriage, but what was problematic was Gu Chiye's attitude.
In the past, his attitude towards Zhu Sheng would be more resolute and decisive, but now he sometimes leaves some room for ambiguity when answering.
Lin Muyun felt a strong sense of crisis. No, she had to find a way to make Gu Chiye pay more attention to her.
But He Yao has been sticking to her all the time, and she has not found any opportunity to develop her relationship with Gu Chiye privately in the past few days.
Thinking of this, Lin Muyun looked at He Yao with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
"Since you don't regret getting married, why did you decide to divorce now?" Han Yang asked maliciously.
Gu Chiye glanced at him and answered bluntly: "Is there an obvious cause and effect relationship in this sentence? The same question can be asked to every couple here."
"This..." Han Yang was speechless for a moment and had to shut up in disappointment.
Seeing that the effect of this part has been achieved, Director Kong quickly started the next round of the game, and this time the bouquet landed in Lin Muyun's hand.
Lin Muyun pulled out the card with great anticipation, and when he saw the content on it, the corners of his mouth froze instantly.
The question on the card is to describe the cause of a recent serious argument.
After seeing this, He Yao's face turned pale and he looked at Lin Muyun nervously with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Lin Muyun deliberately avoided looking into He Yao's eyes.
She understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If used properly, she could get rid of He Yao sooner and naturally become closer to Gu Chiye.
After making up her mind, Lin Muyun immediately put on a pitiful look, with tears filling her eyes.
She said slowly with a trembling voice: "The reason for the quarrel was because of a rumor."
After saying this, Lin Muyun lowered his head and cried, as if he didn't want to say another word.
This sentence can't help but remind people of the cheating scandal that has been making headlines in the past six months.
Before, even if reporters asked about it, the couple would either avoid the topic or Lin Muyun would burst into tears for no apparent reason.
This live broadcast was the first time that the person involved admitted that they had a heated argument over this rumor.
But they had quarreled and didn't refute the rumor. Coupled with Lin Muyun's aggrieved look, it was not difficult to guess what had happened.
This was big news. Out of caution, Director Kong had to continue asking, "Is that rumor true?"
Lin Muyun lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before answering: "I don't want to say it."
The barrage of comments exploded instantly. Lin Muyun's fans were heartbroken and spoke out to defend their sister.
[Oh my god, Lin Muyun is still trying to cover up for He Yao and hasn't directly admitted the truth of the rumor. Sister, please wake up!]
[If you cheat once, there will be a second time. I'm leaving this out. This doesn't persuade me at all.]
[Bah, what do you mean by loving your wife and being a good man? I was almost fooled by the shows these days. Get away from me, you dirty man.]
[Support Sister Mu Yun to divorce early, reconcile with President Gu, and continue their previous relationship! ]
[The fans of the "Wine, Meat, Chi, and Forest" CP above, please stop being so fussy. Don't you see that Mr. Gu and Ms. Zhu still have feelings for each other? They may have given up on getting a divorce in the next few days.]
[The above are the "Nightly Songs" CP fans pretending to be passers-by. Everyone can see that Mr. Gu is a decent man and does not want to bring negative effects to his ex-wife after the divorce. Don't take other people's kindness as affection. ]
The barrage of comments originally criticizing He Yao turned into a war between the two CP fans.
As an innocent victim, Zhu Sheng felt a sense of disharmony when he saw Lin Muyun looking so sad.
In the original book, this revelation only happened later in the show.
At that time, Gu Chiye and Lin Muyun had a misunderstanding. In order to resolve the misunderstanding, Lin Muyun chose to expose the most unbearable side of his marriage in front of everyone.
Afterwards, Gu Chiye was heartbroken, and the relationship between the two heated up rapidly. Netizens also supported them to rekindle their relationship.
In the following episodes, the two appeared together as if they were a couple in love.
But now, this scene has happened so many issues earlier.
The biggest variable is undoubtedly Zhu Sheng's behavior.
But from the very beginning, Zhu Sheng was taking actions to sever his relationship with Gu Chiye.
But why would doing so stimulate Lin Muyun to self-destruct early?
What on earth made her so uneasy? To the point that she believed that if she didn't take action now, she might lose Gu Chiye?
There is another point that Zhu Sheng is very concerned about.
In the past few days, whenever she behaved in a way that was completely different from the original owner, Lin Muyun's reaction was the biggest.
But when a troublemaker chooses not to cause trouble, why does Lin Muyun feel at a loss?
This phenomenon seems to be saying that Lin Muyun’s shadow is actually behind some of the original owner’s unreasonable behaviors.
Thinking of this, Zhu Sheng became alert. It seemed that Bai Yueguang was far from being as weak and innocent as she appeared to be.
Thinking of Lin Muyun's ambiguous attitude towards the cheating rumors, Zhu Sheng felt strange and couldn't help asking.
“I don’t know what it means, whether it’s uncertainty, unclearness or unwillingness to say.
Is there a possibility of misunderstanding here? Miss Lin, if you open your mouth but don't explain clearly, it will only make the rumors more intense and make people doubt your intentions."
Lin Muyun was stunned. He didn't expect Zhu Sheng to be so sharp.
She was reluctant to explain the matter too clearly because she was afraid that others would dig too deep. After all, this was her plan and it was all that mattered as long as she achieved her goal.
Seeing that there were some eyes at the table that vaguely supported Zhu Sheng, Lin Muyun panicked a little. When he was about to explain, He Yao suddenly spoke.
"Ms. Zhu, please don't make things difficult for Mu Yun. Even if there is something wrong with this matter, it is my fault. She is innocent."
In the live broadcast room, fans of Lin Muyun and Zhu Sheng were arguing fiercely in the barrage.
[Look, this is the heroine in the mouths of Zhu fans. She is full of malice towards women. She has no sympathy for the suffering of others and even wants to step on them. ]
[To put it bluntly, she is just jealous that Mr. Gu likes Mu Yun, and she is worried that Mu Yun will get divorced, so it will be even more impossible for her to win Mr. Gu back. ]
[Originally, Lin Muyun was hesitant in his words, and Sister Zhu was just asking him normally. Why would she break his defense if she had nothing to hide?]
[Lin Muyun's attitude is very strange. She is nice to He Yao at one moment, and wants to expose other people's scars at another moment. It's hard to tell whether she wants to continue living like this.]
Director Kong hurriedly stopped the quarrel that was about to break out. It was getting late, so the program team decided to play one last round and then go back to rest.
This time the bouquet stopped in Zhu Sheng's hand. She took out the card and her eyes went dark after reading it.
This is a mission card that says to dance around a campfire with your partner.
Lin Muyun's face darkened instantly and he looked at Zhu Sheng defensively.
Zhu Sheng also felt unlucky. The more she wanted to stay away from the male protagonist, the more opportunities she had to come into contact with him.
However, feeling Lin Muyun's hostility, she couldn't help but want to provoke this white moonlight to see what else she would do out of madness.
After all, the true identity hidden by this woman may be inseparable from the death of the original owner.
So Zhu Sheng deliberately walked up to Gu Chiye and generously extended an invitation.
"Mr. Gu, can you dance?"
"Of course."
"Well, I mean, can you dance the girl steps?
“…”
Gu Chiye remained silent, and Zhu Sheng had no choice but to look at him with an innocent look on his face.
"I just learned my first dance, and I danced the male steps. If I have to wait until I learn the female steps, I'm afraid it won't be that fast."
Seeing Gu Chiye's embarrassed look, Zhu Sheng's heart was filled with joy.
If Gu Chiye refuses to jump, it's not her fault.
Just when Zhu Sheng was begging Director Kong to change the challenge, Gu Chiye stood up.
He seemed to have made up his mind and stretched out his hands to Zhu Sheng: "Let's go, let's go dance."
