Chapter 159 "Old, ugly, bald, and with a beer belly?"
When Shang Chen looked up, he saw that Wen Xi had already changed into her wedding dress and was sitting leisurely in a chair.
There was also a plate of cut fruit on the side.
Her pure white tulle dress trailed on the ground, leaving a trail that made her skin appear even whiter.
Wen Xi's eyes were cool and aloof, and her red lips held a faint, lazy smile as she beckoned to Shang Chen.
Shang Chen: "?"
Wenxi pointed to the next room: "Listen carefully."
The changing room fell silent instantly.
I could only faintly hear two women chatting next door.
Have you watched Jiangjiang's live streams lately?
"I saw it. That woman on the new call is absolutely ungrateful..."
"It's not about the video call. It's about the person Jiang Jiang mentioned, Mr. Wen. I heard he's based on a real person, a lawyer, and also Jiang Jiang's colleague."
"Wen actually has a real-life counterpart?! Who is it that could be so despicable?!"
"I heard she's Jiang Jiang's colleague, a rich second-generation, who got a mediocre master's degree abroad and then went to Jiang Jiang's law firm, where she acted arrogantly all the time. Later, she married a self-made rich man who was ugly, and she became even more arrogant."
"I know, I know! Wen's husband is old, ugly, bald, and has a beer belly, but Wen loves him to death and posts about their love on social media every day, which is very harmful to others. Jiang Jiang analyzed for us whether this counts as infringing on other people's rights... Hahahaha!"
The laughter was so loud that it made Wenxi's dressing room seem exceptionally quiet.
Shang Chen stared intently at Wen Xi with a deep gaze.
Wenxi had heard enough, so she lifted her skirt and stood up.
Shang Chen approached and reached out his hand to her.
Wenxi thought Shang Chen wanted to help her up, so she reached out her hand.
She had just lifted her foot to leave when Shang Chen took her hand and placed it on his abdomen.
Shang Chen said very seriously, "I don't have a beer belly."
Wen Xi paused for a moment before realizing what Shang Chen was doing.
Even though you can't touch anything through the suit, the action itself is still against the rules.
Wenxi unconsciously recalled the feel of Shang Chen's abdominal muscles.
It definitely doesn't have a beer belly, and its shape is well-defined, with an excellent feel and a strong sense of power.
Wen Xi calmly replied, "Of course I know."
Shang Chen: "The assessment can be conducted tonight."
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow: "Inviting me?"
Shang Chen nodded slightly, his expression very serious and solemn.
At first glance, one might think he was going to have a meeting with Wenxi that evening.
Wenxi: "..."
The two of them have been busy dealing with Wen Chao's rumors lately, and haven't had a proper time to enjoy themselves in a long time.
Wenxi pulled her hand away and said, "You go out first, I'll take off my wedding dress."
Shang Chen: "Why don't we try a few other sets?"
"I'm not going to try it now, I'm going to find my brother!"
"What's up?"
"It is indeed an urgent matter."
Shang Chen guessed that it was probably related to the conversation in the changing room next door.
Wenxi's decision was made on a whim; she quickly changed her clothes and dragged Shang Chen to find her brother.
Upon seeing the two, Wen Zhou shifted his gaze from Wen Xi to Shang Chen, "Is President Shang getting married?"
Wen Xi: "?!"
When Wenxi turned around, she realized that Shang Chen was still wearing the wedding dress from the bridal shop.
The suits at the bridal shop were more formal than what he usually wore.
More importantly, he also had a red firework pinned to his chest.
Such attire is typically worn when attending an international conference, sitting in the head seat, or at a wedding or a grand ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Wenxi: "...Why didn't you change?"
"I left in a hurry and forgot."
Wenxi hurriedly pulled Shang Chen away after changing into her wedding dress, and didn't give him time to change his clothes.
The main problem was that Shang Chen usually wore a suit, so Wen Xi didn't notice anything amiss in her haste.
Wenxi hesitated for a moment: "Did you pay?"
Shang Chen paused for a moment, then said, "It seems not."
"The boss is a friend of mine, so the staff probably felt awkward about reminding me..."
Wen Xi smiled and said, "I forgot my husband can use facial recognition."
Wen Zhou sat at his desk, staring expressionlessly at the two of them going back and forth.
"You two came here to show off your love?"
Wenxi changed the subject, "Brother, do you remember the time I asked you for help?"
"Remember."
Wenxi: "The rumors spread by Wenchao have all been suppressed. Brother, can you help me spread another wave of rumors?"
"Another wave of rumors?"
“One of my colleagues was also involved in this rumor-mongering incident.”
Wenxi then brought up the matter of Attorney Jiang using Wenxi as an example to spread rumors about her online.
Wen Zhou's eyes darkened: "Xi Xi, dealing with her doesn't actually require this much trouble."
"Brother, I'm not trying to get rid of her," Wen Xi said calmly. "I've got my eye on this year's National Top Ten Young Lawyers award. I'm going to use her to make a name for myself!"
Wenxi was never a saint.
After several provocations from Attorney Jiang, she no longer wanted to be restrained.
Wenxi happened to be lacking a stepping stone, and she set her sights on Lawyer Jiang.
“I have limited experience in litigation. One Zhou Yuan case is not enough. Another case involving a million-follower blogger spreading rumors will be enough.”
"So I need you to help me promote Wen's deeds nationwide, the more people know, the better."
"The moment the rumors reach their peak will be the moment she is completely ruined."
Shang Chen, who was listening from the side, frowned and said, "But if we do that, Xixi, you will be the first to suffer a wave of cyberbullying."
Even before Wenxi has filed a lawsuit, the anger from netizens may put her in a dangerous situation.
Wen Xi glanced at Shang Chen with a rare look.
He's really getting more and more up-to-date; he even knows about cyberbullying now.
Wen Xi smiled and said, "If I were afraid of this and that, I would just stay at home and be your wife. Why would I be a lawyer?"
Shang Chen remained silent and looked up at his elder brother.
Wen Zhou agreed without hesitation, "Okay!"
"I'll handle this."
Shang Chen realized that compared to his brother-in-law's unconditional support, he shouldn't hesitate.
Shang Chen immediately replied, "I will take good care of Xixi during this time."
Wen Zhou glanced at him, but thankfully refrained from making any sarcastic remarks.
Wenxi: "By the way, brother."
"Everyone loves gossip, and the more outrageous and dramatic the gossip, the more attractive it is."
“When spreading rumors, you can emphasize that my husband is old, ugly, bald, and has a beer belly…”
Before Wenxi could finish speaking, she noticed a very strong gaze on her face.
She turned her head and met Shang Chen's dark and gloomy eyes.
With a stern face, Shang Chen repeated each word carefully: "Old, ugly, bald, and with a beer belly?"
Wenxi calmly reassured Shang Chen, "Don't worry, I already said it's a rumor."
Wen Zhou fanned the flames from the side: "I think we should add a second or third marriage? Or maybe keep a few mistresses and illegitimate children on the side?"
Shang Chen: "..."
Before Shang Chen could say anything, Wen Xi was already sweating profusely.
"There's no need to exaggerate like that."
From a business perspective, Wen Zhou analyzed: "The greater the contrast in the persona, the more traffic it will generate when Shang Chen appears to clarify the rumors later."
"Once the storm passes, people might start praising you two as a handsome couple, a match made in heaven..."
According to Wenzhou's analysis, when the rumors reach their peak, it will be the perfect time for Shang Chen and Wen Xi to publicly show their affection.
Then the whole country will know that Wenxi's husband is him.
Before Wen Zhou could finish speaking, Shang Chen generously declared, "Big brother, feel free to arrange it. I'm fine with anything."
Wenxi: "..."
His brother can now accurately grasp Shang Chen's thoughts?
After finalizing the plan to deal with Attorney Jiang, Wen Xi casually removed the red confetti from Shang Chen's chest.
"Go downstairs and wait for me. I want to talk to my brother alone for a bit."
Shang Chen stared at the confetti in her hand.
Wenxi explained, "This is too flashy."
With his brother-in-law still there, Shang Chen remained calm and composed, saying, "I'll go downstairs and wait for you."
After Shang Chen came downstairs, Wen Xi said, "Brother, my mom said she wants to put Yan Xu in your care, you..."
Wen Zhou: "Your mother has good taste."
Wenxi didn't need to ask any further questions; she already knew Wenzhou's answer.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, brother."
Wen Zhou: "Are you and Shang Chen choosing wedding dresses?"
Wenxi nodded: "He chose a lot of styles, and we plan to try them out slowly."
"You choose first," Wen Zhou said succinctly. "You don't need to prepare anything for the wedding."
Wenxi: "?"
Wen Zhou said frankly, "I'm always generous to my own people."
"If Shang Chen passes the test, he will be my brother-in-law, and I will give you a grand wedding."
Wenxi's eyelids twitched: "What if he doesn't pass?"
Wen Zhou looked at Wen Xi quietly. "What, you gave him a second option?"
