Zhang Xiaoying then recalled that there were rumors about Lu Man having a sugar daddy circulating in the school.
Until the Han Family came out and clarified for Lu Man, and later on, Lu Man’s fiance frequently came to fetch Lu Man from school.
The Han Family back then—could it have been Han Zhuoli’s mother and that Old Mrs. Han?
Zhang Xiaoying finally realized the status and importance of the people they’d faced back then.
What’s more, it was Han Zhuoli who personally went to fetch Lu Man, and they did not even recognize him!
So ever since the beginning, Lu Man’s boyfriend, fiance, and her now-husband had always been Han Zhuoli alone!
When they previously saw Han Zhuoli publishing his marriage announcement on the web coupled with a picture of the couple holding their marriage certs, they immediately denied that the other party was Lu Man because of the different rings on their hands.
And in the end?
They all thought wrong!
Meanwhile…
In the school hostel…
Zhuang Tingting was watching the live-stream of the award ceremony on her tablet.
And when she saw the huge close-up shot of Lu Man winning the Best Newcomer Award.
Zhuang Tingting felt that all her organs were compressing together from her intense jealousy.
What’s worse, before she could express her opinions to the other occupants in the room, she saw Lu Man hug Han Zhuoli’s neck!
Zhuang Tingting blustered, “Lu Man’s such a sl*t! Suddenly hugging Han Zhuoli in an event like that, she’s just trying to force Han Zhuoli into a scandal with her!”
Fan Xiyue was watching the live-stream too, and she immediately replied, “But Han Zhuoli’s already married, and he himself had gone public with the news. Does Lu Man want to be scolded by others by being like this?”
“What’s the big deal with that when Lu Man’s so crafty? She’d weighed the costs and benefits for sure,” Yu Jingxian said calmly. “This thing will increase her popularity and topicality far more than any negative impacts, so she chose to do it.”
“But wouldn’t she fear Han Zhuoli’s retaliation next time? Han Zhuoli’s not one to be taken advantage of,” Fan Xiyue shot back.
“Lu Man probably felt invincible with Wang Juhuai as a stepfather around. I’ve heard that Wang Juhuai and Han Zhuoli’s father were good friends, and he always had a good relationship with the Han Family. With such relations, even if Han Zhuoli’s angry, he wouldn’t do anything to Lu Man if Wang Juhuai pleads,” Yu Jingxian said.
“Pooh! How shameless!” Zhuang Tingting ground her teeth in anger. “How utterly audacious and brazen! Using any underhanded means just to get famous. How disgusting!”
“Precisely!” Fan Xiyue saw red. “This type of person still has fans defending her. After seeing her acting so shamelessly, see who’ll still support her! Han Zhuoli should just push her away. How brash!”
“Most importantly, Han Zhuoli’s already married. Although it’s common for many women to throw themselves at Han Zhuoli, married or not, because of his status, they’d still have some considerations, at least in public. Lu Man is too brazen.” Yu Jingxian pursed her lips in disdain. “As if she can’t wait anymore.”
“My god! Han Zhuoli must be mad!” Fan Xiyue shrieked.
“What is it?” Yu Jingxian and Zhuang Tingting looked at her curiously.
“Y’all… y’all look at the screen!” Fan Xiyue sat at the upper bunk, tablet on her knees, a finger pointing at the screen, which was trembling from her anger.
Yu Jingxian and Zhuang Tingting looked back at their own laptop and tablet screens.
Only to see Han Zhuoli pick Lu Man up to kiss her!
