Chapter 496: High-Profile Provocation
Fang Hua and Sheng Xichen came over with dinner and saw her smiling foolishly at her phone. When they went over to take a look, they saw Huo Ci’s news.
The duo looked at each other telepathically and stole a look at Ling Sheng.
Fang Hua did not know that the neighbor next door was Ling Sheng’s boyfriend, so she thought that the rumors were true. There was really something going on between Ling Sheng and Huo Ci. In addition, Ling Sheng had watched Huo Ci’s news in the afternoon, which made her feel even more certain.
Sheng Xichen knew that the neighbor next door should be her boyfriend. Thus, upon seeing how concerned she was about Huo Ci and how foolishly she was smiling, he found it interesting. He was also a little worried. Could the young lady be two-timing these men?
“Teacher Fang Hua, Senior Sheng, do the two of you know that Senior Huo has made a trip to M City?” Ling Sheng felt that the comments were right. Her father might have come to see her.
Fang Hua and Sheng Xichen were indeed his friends, but Huo Ci’s schedule had never been announced to the public, especially after he had started his own studio and become the boss. Even his fan club’s president did not know his schedule.
When Fang Hua saw the hottest topic, she smiled ambiguously. “Sheng Sheng, did Senior Huo really come to see you? Didn’t he tell you he would?”
Ling Sheng thought to herself, He never tells me anything. His personality is extremely awkward. When she met Fang Hua’s gaze, she shook her head hurriedly and explained, “He’s the boss, and I’m just an insignificant employee. Why would he tell me?”
“Hey, hey, hey.” Fang Hua was a little agitated as she started reading on her phone. “I saw someone leak that Huo Ci’s a.s.sistant, Zuo Ming, booked two super luxurious food trucks!”
This made things even livelier. Ling Sheng’s wealthy fan, Jun Lin, had given her a food truck. Here was Huo Ci now with two. He had even flown all the way to M City in a high-profile manner. Even if there was really nothing going on, people would think otherwise.
The comments section was filled up instantly. The hottest comments were about Huo Ci visiting Ling Sheng, Huo Ci being jealous, Huo Ci hurting Jun Lin, and Huo Ci preparing to make their relationship public.
The Little Cis were so angry that they wanted to tear someone apart. However, their idol had been acting in a high-profile manner the whole time. It was just as the pa.s.sers-by had said. He looked like he was going to find someone and have a fight with them. The provocation was very obvious.
Sheng Xichen gave Ling Sheng a meaningful look. Her wealthy fan, Jun Lin, had just provided one food truck, while Huo Ci had gotten two. It was impossible for others not to read too much into it. He had deliberately compared himself to him to suppress him.
Ling Sheng frowned, feeling uncomfortable under their gazes, especially Sheng Xichen’s, who was probing and suspicious. She raised her hand and swore. “Senior, Huo Ci is my boss. There’s nothing between us. It’s all online nonsense! You can’t believe the words of keyboard warriors!”
Sheng Xichen nodded and said, “You have to be careful with some things. In a place like the entertainment circle, your every move will be interpreted to death.”
Huo Ci seemed to be deliberately leading the netizens to over-a.n.a.lyze this. She did not know what he was thinking, but he had pushed the young lady to the forefront of the news.
They had all seen the hottest topic, so Gu Shen had naturally seen it too. His eyes were dark as he directly sent the photo from that day—the one he had not sent to Jun Shiyan yet. It was a photo of Ling Sheng being intimate with a stranger.
He looked at his phone for a long time, but Jun Shiyan did not reply. His brows were furrowed tightly, and his heart was full of hatred. There was concrete evidence. He did not believe that Third Uncle would still indulge her unless he liked it when others made him a cuckold.
He thought for a while and typed: Third Uncle, I don’t want to ruin your relationship. I took this photo on our filming site. Ling Sheng got close to you just for money and resources.
