Chapter 128 Even got a divorce certificate
Shen Lai paused while washing his hands and turned to look at Tong Miaoling, "What?"
"Stop pretending." Seeing that no one was around, Tong Miaoling stopped pretending, tore off her usual hypocritical mask, and looked at Shen Lai coldly, "The variety show just ended, and the next day my divorce from Dai Jingxuan was exposed. Who else could it be except you?"
Just because she said that Shen Lai was vicious when Bai Hansui was in trouble, Shen Lai actually dug up all her past in order to get revenge on her.
Shen Lai didn't understand what Tong Miaoling was saying at all. He frowned and said, "Although I don't know where you heard the news from, this matter has nothing to do with me."
Tong Miaoling sneered, "It doesn't matter? I've already had someone check it out. The paparazzi who broke the news had met with President Pei's assistant before the incident."
Shen Lai's ears buzzed, and he looked at Tong Miaoling in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Tong Miaoling thought Shen Lai was pretending to be stupid, and her expression became even more sarcastic. "Are you trying to say that you didn't know about this and it was all Boss Pei's idea?"
Shen Lai's mind was in a mess. She had no idea that Pei Jingyan had hired paparazzi.
And Pei Jingyan never mentioned a word to her.
Chen Lai couldn't help but recall that last time she saw the news about Dai Jingxuan and Tong Miaoling's divorce, she specifically asked Pei Jingyan about it, and Pei Jingyan said that he knew nothing about it.
If it was really Pei Jingyan who did it, why would he lie?
Shen Lai absentmindedly returned to the hall. Seeing her return, Pei Jingyan spoke casually, "Why did you take so long?"
Shen Lai looked up and met Pei Jingyan's gaze. Tong Miaoling's words just now emerged in her mind. She rolled her throat and said, "There are a lot of people. I waited for a while."
At this time, Pei Jingyan noticed that Tong Miaoling, who was not far away, had also returned to her seat and glanced over here.
His brows raised slightly, "Did Tong Miaoling cause you trouble just now?"
Shen Lai looked over, Tong Miaoling sneered and looked away, shaking her head gently, "No, she doesn't get along with me, why would she talk to me."
The light around was dim, and Pei Jingyan could not see the complex emotions that flashed in Shen Lai's eyes when he said this.
After the award ceremony, Chen Lai said goodbye to Wu Qi at the door and took a car back with Pei Jingyan.
The car drove smoothly on the road, and the melodious music made the car seem a little quiet.
At this time, Shen Lai suddenly said: "Just now I saw that Dai Jingxuan and Tong Miaoling were both silent. Are they completely broken up?"
Pei Jingyan placed his clasped hands on his lower abdomen and said calmly, "We're already divorced, so why bother reminiscing about the past?"
Shen Lai's shadow was reflected in the glass window. She slid her throat and said casually, "But don't you think it's strange? The paparazzi had been digging for so long and couldn't find any evidence of their divorce, so how come they found it all of a sudden?"
Pei Jingyan crossed his legs, his whole body exuding a sense of laziness, even his voice was a drawl, "You can only know this by asking the paparazzi."
Shen Lai's hands on his legs tightened unconsciously.
If it was really Pei Jingyan who did it as Tong Miaoling said, why did he lie?
Is this something that cannot be told to anyone?
The next evening, Shen Lai went out and took a taxi to a very private coffee shop.
She came to the small room on the second floor and pushed open the door in front of her. A man in ordinary clothes was sitting at the table, as if waiting for someone.
“Miss Shen, you are here.”
Looking at the beautiful woman sitting in front of him, the paparazzi asked, "What do you want from me?"
Last night, Shen Lai contacted the paparazzi through the Weibo account that broke the news. This person knows the inside story best.
Chen Lai didn't hesitate and asked directly, "Did Pei Jingyan ask you to reveal the news about Dai Jingxuan and Tong Miaoling's divorce?"
The paparazzi frowned and seemed a little hesitant when he heard this.
"Don't worry, I'm just a little curious. No one else will know about our meeting today."
As he spoke, Shen Lai took out an envelope from his bag and pushed it in front of the paparazzi.
The paparazzi's eyes lit up, and he quickly put the envelope away. He then said, "Actually, I don't know what happened. That night, President Pei's assistant suddenly found me and said he had evidence of Dai Jingxuan and Tong Miaoling's divorce. He just wanted me to get the story out, and I didn't have to worry about anything else."
Shen Lai's heart sank.
Sure enough, this was done by Pei Jingyan.
"You don't know, we've been digging into this for a long time, and it was Boss Pei who figured it out. He even managed to get his hands on their divorce certificate." The paparazzi stopped hiding their secrets. "Thanks to Boss Pei, our popularity and influence have really skyrocketed this time."
Shen Lai stared at the coffee in front of him and murmured, "Why?"
The paparazzi thought Shen Lai was asking him a question, so he casually said, "Why else? Of course, I'm just venting my anger for you."
Shen Lai suddenly raised her head and looked across at the opposite side. The paparazzi didn't notice that her expression was not right and continued to say, "I watched that variety show of yours too. At that time, there was no evidence to prove that you did it, and the queen of the film openly accused you on the show. No one would be able to swallow this."
Shen Lai's hands under the table began to tremble slightly.
To vent your anger for her?
Pei Jingyan doesn't like her, so why would he do such a thing behind her back?
At this moment, a bold idea vaguely emerged in front of him, but was interrupted in time by Chen Lai when it was about to take shape.
How is that possible?
Pei Jingyan said in person that everything he did was just for the baby in her belly and had nothing to do with her.
But she couldn't understand, if Pei Jingyan was really open and honest, why didn't he tell her directly, but instead was so secretive.
Chen Lai returned to the villa in a daze. When she passed the master bedroom, she saw the door was open and Pei Jingyan was instructing the housekeeper Sun to pack her luggage.
Pei Jingyan caught a glimpse of a figure appearing at the door. He turned around and saw Shen Lai standing at the door.
"Why are you standing there?"
Hearing Pei Jingyan's voice, Shen Lai came back to her senses. She sorted out her emotions and said calmly, "What are you doing?"
Pei Jingyan said calmly: "I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."
"On business trip?"
"Um."
This was Pei Jingyan’s first business trip in the few months since they got married.
Shen Lai pursed his lips and asked, "How many days will you be gone?"
"I'll be back in two days."
Shen Lai nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions. She looked at Pei Jingyan's face and wanted to ask him about the paparazzi, but swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
If Pei Jingyan was willing to admit it, he would have told the truth in the car yesterday.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing that Shen Lai looked a little pale, Pei Jingyan asked.
Shen Lai lowered her head, hiding the emotions on her face. She shook her head and said, "It's okay. Maybe I'm a little tired."
Pei Jingyan glanced at Shen Lai's belly. As the months went by, her clothes could no longer cover her pregnant belly.
Thinking of the doctor's words during the last prenatal checkup that pregnant women would feel increasingly uncomfortable in the later stages, his expression softened a bit. "Then you go and rest first. I'll have Butler Sun heat up a cup of milk for you later."
Shen Lai hummed hesitantly, wanting to say something, and finally turned and left.
Looking at her somewhat dazed back, Pei Jingyan narrowed his eyes slightly, always feeling that Chen Lai seemed a little abnormal today.
The next morning, Pei Jingyan left for the airport. Chen Lai stood in the yard and watched his car leave. It was a while before he turned around and returned to the villa.
Shen Lai was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast when suddenly Butler Sun walked in.
“Miss Shen, the old man said he wants to see you.”
