Lan Shuang was stunned and held the phone tightly, "Let me see."
"What's so interesting about it? Is it fun to look for maggots in shit?"
Gu Xiao said in a bad tone.
Lan Shuang: "Huh? What's going on? Don't say such disgusting things in broad daylight. I'm just checking the comments."
"It's boring, don't look at it." Gu Xiao used some strength in his hands, trying to grab the phone, but Lan Shuang rolled over and pressed the phone under her body. Gu Xiao: "..."
"What are you doing?" He frowned and stood beside the bed, looking down at Lan Shuang.
Lan Shuang said calmly: "Go ahead and grab it from under me."
Gu Xiao squinted his eyes as Lan Shuang pressed her phone under her belly. How could he snatch it? Although he was being frivolous, asking him to do such a thing was no different from being a hooligan. He wouldn't do such a cheap thing.
There was no other way, he sat down beside him in a frustrated manner, "Okay, okay, if you want to watch, then watch. If you get angry and start crying later, don't come to me."
Lan Shuang sneered: "What's wrong with you? Why am I looking for you? Didn't you also have a prejudice against me before?"
"I……"
Gu Xiao wanted to defend himself, but his brain uncontrollably recalled what he had said before, and he lost motivation again and began to feel guilty.
He touched his nose awkwardly, wanting to say something to ease the awkwardness, but Lan Shuang ignored him.
Turning around, Lan Shuang pulled out her phone, opened Weibo, and saw the trending search rankings. Seeing that she alone occupied the top three, dominating the trend, she couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect everyone hasn't forgotten me yet. Is this another kind of recognition of me? I was really popular back then."
"Let me see what these bastards are saying now."
Lan Shuang was muttering to herself as she was about to click on it. Gu Xiao, one of the "bastards", felt deeply uneasy. He did not retaliate when being scolded, but leaned over and covered Lan Shuang's eyes the moment the page popped up.
In this position, he whispered in Lan Shuang's ear, "Really, don't watch it. What those people say is not important, but it will affect your mood."
When he was serious, his voice was low and mellow, very pleasant to the ear, but he was usually not serious, so Lan Shuang didn't feel anything before. But now that the two of them were so close, even their breathing became ambiguous, Lan Shuang couldn't ignore it.
As a hidden voice controller, she couldn't stand it and her ears turned red.
Gu Xiao noticed this and found it quite novel. He even reached out and pinched it, saying, "Your ears are so hot."
Lan Shuang: “…”
"release!"
She reached out to pull away Gu Xiao's rebellious hand, then grabbed it and moved it away from her sight. She turned over and sat up, looking at Gu Xiao seriously. Her eyes were too serious, which made Gu Xiao feel a little uncomfortable.
"You must watch it?" Gu Xiao was puzzled: "It's useless to watch it."
Lan Shuang shook her head: "You are wrong, it works."
"Hmm?" Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"I want to see how many people are scolding me, whether they are passers-by or trolls, and whether there are any whitewashing points. I really want to think about how to guide public opinion."
Lan Shuang was very calm. These were her primary concerns right now. As for how others scolded her, to be honest, she really didn't care.
She is not the little girl who only lived a lifetime like the original owner. She has traveled far and wide, traversed countless worlds, and has seen and endured much more malice than this. Her heart and face have long been bulletproof, and her mood will not be easily affected.
Gu Xiao was silent for a while, looking at her scrutinizingly. Lan Shuang let him look at her without dodging. Gu Xiao had no choice but to compromise and made a "please" gesture.
Lan Shuang was finally able to calmly read the comments. As expected, most of them were scolding her, but they all kept harping on her being a mistress back then. However, not many people questioned her ability.
Lan Shuang read through the comments one by one and found that many people still recognized her appearance.
In this age where appearance matters, having a good-looking face can indeed bring a lot of convenience in many cases, but this is not enough to change most people's views of themselves.
It still depends on strength.
Lan Shuang had an idea in mind, and she looked up and stared at a certain point in the void in a daze.
She couldn't deny what happened between her and Gu Ting, because it really happened, there must be clues, and netizens with microscopes would always be able to dig it out if they wanted to. Moreover, there was a recording as evidence, so she couldn't deny it, so she could only start with the fact that Gu Ting was secretly married.
It was Gu Ting who deceived her. She didn't know that Gu Ting was married and had a wife. He was the one who provoked her first. If she could find a way to make this clear, the problem could be easily solved.
But the key point is that Gu Ting must admit in person that it was he who deceived Lan Shuang back then.
It's not easy to do this.
Lan Shuang frowned, but the prerequisite was that she had to be able to see or contact Gu Ting.
Gu Ting is a very cautious person. He won't contact me easily. Even if he does, he probably won't reveal what happened back then...
Should we start with Bai Moran?
It seems that it is easier to trick her than to trick Gu Ting?
Lan Shuang's mind was working rapidly. Gu Xiao watched her expression change from side to side, and his heart was lifted. "What are you thinking about? Are you upset after reading this? I said-"
"No, I'm thinking about how to get hold of Bai Moran's handle and make her come to meet me."
Lan Shuang turned to look at Gu Xiao: "Do you have any familiar private detectives?"
Gu Xiao instantly understood what she meant: "Are you afraid that if you take the initiative to ask her out, she won't show up?"
"My comeback has caused such a big stir, she must have known about it. If I take the initiative to meet her at this time, she will definitely guess my intentions and find something to hold against her. She will only agree to the request to meet me because she is under my control."
"Hmm..." Gu Xiao thought for a while: "I don't know any private detectives."
Lan Shuang's face couldn't help showing a bit of disappointment, but Gu Xiao said: "But one of my brothers should know him."
"Who is it?"
"Huo has a signature."
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows and tilted her head to look at him: "What?"
"Huo, yes, signed."
Gu Xiao repeated it again word by word.
Lan Shuang was still a little confused: "What kind of name is this? Are you sure you said it right? It's not Huo Youqian?"
Gu Xiao stood up and took out his phone. Just as he was about to call Huo Youqian, he answered casually, "Oh, that's his nickname. When he was born, the Huo family was in crisis. Their capital chain was broken and they were almost bankrupt. His mother named him Youqian, hoping that his fortune would improve and they could get through this difficult time."
"Later, my father borrowed money to help their family through the crisis. They all thought the name was auspicious, but a little unrefined, so they changed it to a homophonic name, Huo Youqian, and also nicknamed him Youqian."
Lan Shuang: “…”
It is indeed a name that only parents can come up with.
