Chapter 622 I’ve Been Married 1
Everything has two sides, after all. Whether it’s a scandal or a stepping stone depends on how you play it.
She beckoned to Xu Jiayang with a curled finger, her face brimming with mischief, "I’ve got an idea."
When Leng Yan emerged from the bathroom, he caught sight of Xia Weibao and Xu Jiayang whispering closely together.
A bad taste instantly filled his heart.
It was irksome no matter how he looked at it.
He felt an urge to rush over and separate the two, though he couldn’t fathom why he thought so.
Damn it!
After a moment, he was certain. It was their secret conversation, excluding him, that made him uncomfortable.
So he strode over, standing opposite them with hands on hips, "What are you talking about!"
Both glanced at him, then ignored him.
Leng Yan’s ego was dealt a ten-thousand-point blow!
He marched forward, pushing their heads apart with each hand, Back off, back off! Why stand so close!
"I’m the boss here. How can you discuss matters without me!"
Still, no one paid him any attention...
Xu Jiayang was absolutely stunned by the tactic Xia Weibao had described!
He couldn’t help raising his thumb, "Brilliant!"
What an ingenious move!
"How did you come up with this idea?"
This brainpower, did you grow up eating 666666666666 walnuts?
Xia Weibao smiled lightly, "See? My idea isn’t bad, is it?"
"Not just good, it’s brilliant! If you lived in the Imperial Harem in ancient times, you could become the Empress."
Xia Weibao, "..."
Er.
Congratulations on discovering the truth, for I indeed was the Empress.
"What exactly are you talking about, hurry and tell me."
Leng Yan was itching with curiosity, almost dying of impatience.
Though Xia Weibao didn’t fully trust his intelligence, she still shared her plan with him.
Leng Yan was the boss after all, and besides, she needed his assistance.
After hearing it, Leng Yan was utterly floored.
Then, somewhat worried, "Can this really work? What if the person behind the scenes exposes you."
"What’s there to fear? If that person dares to expose me, it would only help to clarify the past events for me. Either way, I don’t lose out."
Leng Yan thought about it and found it made sense.
Xia Weibao patted Leng Yan on the shoulder, "Boss, I’ll need to trouble you during this period. Spend some money on internet trolls to push that video to the top of the trending list. It would be ideal to keep it there for a month or two, the more vicious the comments, the better!"
Hype is an art anyone can master.
In the past, she hadn’t been interested in it, which is why she ignored it.
Now that she wants to clear her name, no one can stop her!
With the details settled, Xu Jiayang left to contact the actors, Leng Yan went to consult with Xia Shi on how to make the video hit the trending charts.
And Xia Weibao drove back to Lu Garden, to pack her luggage.
Today is Monday, so Lu Hualiang should have already gone to work.
As she pushed open the door to the room, indeed, no one was inside.
She breathed a sigh of relief but felt a trace of loss at the same time.
Last night...
Did he keep vigil over her all night?
She shook her head vigorously—can’t think, can’t think. If they’re going to break it off, it needs to be clean and decisive.
Any hesitation or dragging things out would be unfair to Lu Hualiang.
She pulled out her suitcase to start packing her luggage.
Just as she was nearly finished, a calm voice, brewing with an impending storm, came from behind her.
"Why are you packing your luggage, thinking of leaving?"
Scare!
The sudden voice startled Xia Weibao so much that she nearly tumbled headfirst into her suitcase!
Turning around, she saw Lu Hualiang, who had appeared behind her at some unknown point.
He was dressed in home clothes, obviously not having gone out today.
"Why aren’t you at work?"
