Chapter 1390 721: You're Better at This Than Me_2

Liu Ying typed angrily: [Fine, aren't you just forcing me to quit the group? Okay, I'll quit right now]

That's what she said, but for the moment she actually didn't want to leave this group.

She had thought that as the group owner, Guo Mengyao would persuade her to stay, but Guo Mengyao didn't react at all.

Five seconds, ten seconds passed, and still nothing from Guo Mengyao.

The group went quiet as well; it seemed like they were all just waiting for her to quit. Even that little sidekick Hong Xiaodan suddenly seemed to have disappeared at this moment, or maybe she just wasn't online.

This made Liu Ying feel both angry and bitter.

After about half a minute, Yu Xiaohui couldn't help but type: [If you're going to kick her, why wait for her to leave?]

Guo Mengyao: [I didn't kick her]

Jin Xinyan: [cover_mouth_laugh.png]

When Liu Ying saw that, she got even angrier. So they were just sitting there waiting for her to quit. Quit then, who cares?

In the end, Liu Ying still left the group, reluctantly.

As soon as she quit, Guo Mengyao said: [I just contacted Little Rui, she hasn't replied. I'll give her a call later]

Jin Xinyan: [I think it's going to be hard to pull her back in. After all, she used to have a pretty good relationship with Wu Mengting. She stabbed Wu Mengting in the back this time; she must feel guilty and it's understandable if she doesn't want to keep going]

Yu Xiaohui: [If she really doesn't want to come back in, then forget it, don't make things too hard on her]

Guo Mengyao: [Without her as our informant, how are we supposed to keep going in the future?]

Yu Xiaohui: [If you want to make Chen Feng and Wu Mengting break up, the main thing is still on Chen Feng. And this time, with this kind of "pretty-boy tactic," I think the odds of success are low. Chen Feng won't believe it.]

Guo Mengyao: [Whether he believes it or not is one thing. As long as Chen Feng finds out about this, Wu Mengting will definitely lose points in his eyes. If we do this kind of thing a few more times later, he might start to dislike her]

Yu Xiaohui: [It's not that easy. Chen Feng likes her in every way. She knew from the start that Chen Feng had so many women, but still stuck close to him. That shows she probably truly loves him and has a very high tolerance for him. She's already earned Chen Feng's full trust. How could you drive a wedge between them that easily?]

Guo Mengyao: [Stop always being a downer. Doing something is always better than doing nothing]

Jin Xinyan: [This plan is definitely going to have some effect, but how much, we'll have to see from Chen Feng's reaction after he finds out. Later I'll send this scandal link to him and see how he reacts]

Guo Mengyao: [Okay, I'll leave this to you. You're his personal assistant now anyway. Informing him about this kind of thing is part of your job]

...

Chen Feng found out about the scandal involving Wu Mengting a little after ten that night, but it wasn't from Jin Xinyan—it was from Yang Wenqi, whom he hadn't been in touch with for a while. She sent him a news link. The headline was about Tang Jierui, but Yang Wenqi also added a line: Doesn't Tang Jierui's rumored girlfriend look a lot like Director Wu Mengting?

Chen Feng casually clicked on the link, and sure enough, in several of the "intimate photos," the female lead was Wu Mengting. Even though her face had been slightly blurred, Chen Feng recognized her at a glance.

Never mind her figure and height—just the clothes she'd worn during the day made her recognizable in an instant.

As for this scandal, Chen Feng of course didn't believe it. With some pretty-boy like Tang Jierui, how could Wu Mengting possibly be interested?

On top of that, the scandal was supposed to have happened that very day, and Chen Feng knew Wu Mengting's movements today like the back of his hand—she had gone shopping with Sun Xiaorui and Zhou Qianru.

So there was no way she had gone on some one-on-one date with Tang Jierui. At the very least, Sun Xiaorui and Zhou Qianru would have been there.

This piece of gossip was obviously just some vulgar paparazzi making things up out of thin air, deliberately stirring things up for clicks and traffic.

He did a quick search, then went to check Tang Jierui's Weibo, and sure enough, there was already a clarification. The original author of the scandal piece had also deleted the post and issued a public apology.

But regardless, his own woman getting caught up in a scandal with another man—especially a pretty-boy like Tang Jierui—still left Chen Feng feeling a bit annoyed.

However, since Wu Mengting hadn't brought it up herself, it didn't feel right for him to immediately go question her. He'd wait until tomorrow and see. If by tomorrow night Wu Mengting still hadn't proactively told him about it, then Chen Feng really would be angry.

After all, Wu Mengting was now his publicly acknowledged girlfriend, and she'd gotten into a scandal with another man that ended up online. If she didn't explain that to him, her boyfriend, that wouldn't fly.

With that thought, Chen Feng didn't dwell on it too much. As for Yang Wenqi's tattling on WeChat, he simply ignored it.

Later, when he'd scrolled on his phone a bit longer and was about to go to sleep, Jin Xinyan also sent him the news about Wu Mengting's scandal on WeChat. Chen Feng glanced at it, didn't reply, then directly put his phone on silent, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

That night, Chen Feng slept alone. A man needs a few days every month to let his body recuperate and cultivate himself.

The next morning, after his usual routine of morning exercise and a shower, he went downstairs to have breakfast with the two women.

After eating for a while and chatting a bit, Wu Mengting took the initiative and said to Chen Feng, "Yesterday some paparazzi put me and Tang Jierui together to stir up a scandal. There are a few articles going around online. Have you heard about it?"

Chen Feng nodded calmly. "Yeah, I've seen it."

Wu Mengting explained, "All those photos online were shot with forced angles. It wasn't just the two of us there at the time; Little Rui and Sister Qianru were there too, and Tang Jierui's agent as well."

Sun Xiaorui chimed in loyally, "That's right. We happened to run into Tang Jierui in the underground parking lot at Yida Square. We were carrying a bunch of stuff, and he helped us with it. Then he mentioned there was a Cantonese-style café nearby and kept inviting us to go eat there. We couldn't refuse his hospitality, so we went with him for some dim sum and then split up. We didn't expect there'd be paparazzi tailing us, much less that they'd maliciously manufacture a scandal like this."

Chen Feng felt a lot better inside, but still kept his face slightly stern. "From now on, try to stay away from these celebrities, especially male celebrities, and don't have any dealings with them. Otherwise, this kind of thing will keep happening."

Wu Mengting hurriedly nodded. "Got it. This time was really just a coincidence, plus there were so many people together, that's why I went to have dim sum with him. There's absolutely nothing between us. I won't have any contact with him at all in the future."

Only then did Chen Feng smile in satisfaction and say, "To avoid any suspicion, cancel the role you promised him before."

Wu Mengting hesitated for a moment, but still nodded obediently. "Okay."

Whatever appreciation and admiration she'd had for Tang Jierui had already been completely used up by the appearance of this scandal.

She hadn't planned to cancel the small role she'd promised him, mainly because she didn't want to go back on her word, and also partly out of school ties.

But now that Chen Feng had said so, both emotionally and logically she had to listen to him. Credit and school friendship and all that would just have to be set aside.
