Life was busy.
For the entire week, Lu Manman accompanied Wen Yun.
The two of them seemed to be glued together.
They were buying marriage products together, taking wedding photos together, and choosing rings together. They appeared so loving.
At the same time.
The night before the wedding, the prime time slot for the talk show was at eight in the evening. In just over forty minutes, the couple, Wen Yun and Lu Manman, made their way onto the headlines of all the major news websites. They were like A-list celebrities, gaining the limelight that countless celebrities could not achieve even if they spent a lot of money on promoting their shows. It was really infuriating.
It was said that the talk show’s viewership ratings had reached a new high, and the number of views online had already exceeded ten million in a short period of time. It was so explosive that it was hard to control!
Around nine, Lu Manman received a call from Wen Yun.
He could not mask his excitement, even though he was trying very hard to control it.
He did not expect Lu Manman’s small suggestion to make him so famous in Wen City. He had been at a disadvantage at the charity ball last time, but it turned out to be such a success this time!
Lu Manman just smiled and played along.
Around ten in the evening.
Feeling that it was about time, she called Mo Yuanxiu.
Mo Yuanxiu had not been in touch with her since they last spoke on the phone half a month ago. She had been so loving with Wen Yun recently. Was he not afraid that she was just fooling him?
How could he be so composed?!
“Miss Lu.” The other party answered in a calm voice.
“Remember our deal?”
“I thought you’d forgotten.” Mo Yuanxiu smiled.
“I remember it very clearly,” Lu Manman said. “That’s why I want you to kill the devil now.”
“Speak your mind.”
“You can publish the video in your hands now.”
“In the moment that Wen Yun feels like he owns the world, you want to expose this video?”
“What? Are you being merciful?”
“Merciful?” Mo Yuanxiu smiled even wider.
“If not, then please do as I say.”
“Miss Lu, who do you take after for being so brutal?”
“Are you afraid of working with me?” Lu Manman asked sarcastically.
“What a joke!” Mo Yuanxiu’s voice was cold and stern.
Lu Manman bit her lip.
“Miss Lu, I would like to remind you one last time. I will expose this video today. From today onward, you will be mine for this lifetime! Do you understand?” Mo Yuanxiu’s tone was very serious all of a sudden. Every word he said was powerful and resonating! There was a strange chill to it, making her shiver.
Lu Manman tightened her grip on her cell phone.
Mo Yuanxiu was silent as well.
The two of them were so quiet it was as if the other party was not even on the other end of the line.
A while later, Lu Manman took a deep breath and said, “Mo Yuanxiu, we’re just getting what we each need.”
Mo Yuanxiu smiled very lightly.
Then, he hung up.
Lu Manman looked at the words: call ended. In this first round of confrontation, she did not have much confidence.
What was Mo Yuanxiu hiding? It made her shudder!
She silently adjusted her emotions.
Having lived an extra seven years, she was naturally not afraid of anyone!
…
Evening, 10:38 p.m.
A shocking video clip went viral on the Internet. The scenes of Wen Yun and the woman in the video having intense sex while naked dazzled many.
Was this real?!
The perfect man, Wen Yun. The man that all the young women in Wen City wanted to marry. Wen Yun was talking on the television just a minute ago about spending the rest of his life with Lu Manman, and yet, he was having such a passionate time with another woman besides Lu Manman in the video clip! Moreover, the level of exposure in the video was practically a pornographic film! The two naked bodies were being transmitted around Wen City like crazy.
Was this huge difference between one minute and the next not just a slap to his own face?!
Lu Manman played the video as well.
The scene she witnessed replayed in her head as she watched them have sex.
She turned around and left.
She did not make a scene but maintained her elegance as she turned around and left. With each step she took, her collarbone ached, and she felt a sense of humiliation, despair, and hatred…
She thought to herself. How nice it would be if this scene was made known to the rest of Wen City!
How nice it would be if the whole world knew what kind of man Wen Yun was!
How nice it would be to have Wen Yun humiliated, devastated, and miserable in front of the rest of the world!
She watched the whole video that was just about twenty minutes. Her eyes were glued to the screen, refusing to move.
Her cell phone rang.
Looking at the incoming call, it was actually not Wen Yun.
Wen Yun was probably thinking about how to make up for his image now, and she knew she would never be his top priority.
She looked away.
She had seen enough, and there was nothing more to see.
She stood up, walked to the balcony to pick up the call, and calmly said, “Gu Xin…”
“Boohoo…” Lu Manman furrowed her brows.
“Manman, you know that Wen Yun… treated you… But the two of you are getting married tomorrow… What should we do?” Gu Xin was sobbing uncontrollably.
Lu Manman looked up and smiled.
The people who were truly nice to you would always be on your side.
“Gu Xin, I’m fine.” Lu Manman’s voice was calm and composed.
“How could you be alright? That shameless man! Everyone in Wen City was deceived by him! I’m going to his house to kill him!” Gu Xin was about to suffocate from anger, and she wanted to find Wen Yun for revenge immediately.
“I’m really alright.” Lu Manman looked helplessly at the full moon in the sky. “Gu Xin, did you forget? I’m getting married to Mo Yuanxiu.”
Silence ensued.
Lu Manman smiled.
Gu Xin was not very bright, and she never thought too much about anything. She always took everything at face value.
She was such a pure and adorable woman!
“Gu Xin,” Lu Manman called out her name. “I wasn’t affected by Wen Yun’s incident at all because I knew all along! Wen Yun only has himself to blame for what happened, and I’m glad to see it happen.”
