Chapter 733: Scandal Queen vs. The White Lotus Actor 4

Tang Wan’s fanbase was never lacking in fighting power, and this time, because her response had been clean, decisive, and completely different from the weak explanations in the original timeline, the fans stood firmly on her side without hesitation, their counterattack sharp and relentless as they flooded the comment sections.

“Wan Jie is seriously shameless. Photos like that aren’t even rare in the industry. If you’d just said you ran into Wanwan by coincidence, no one would’ve cared, but what did you do instead, you claimed she tried to use unspoken rules on you? Disgusting. Our Wanwan would never like someone like you.”

“So now we’re supposed to believe a grown man is crying about being ‘kept’? You got rejected and immediately turned around to slander her. What exactly do you gain from this? Or are you just that petty?”

“This is honestly the first time I’ve seen a male celebrity hinting that he was ‘submerged.’ If you want to attach yourself to someone, at least look in the mirror first.”

At the same time, fans of Shang Baitong also joined the conversation, adding fuel to the already blazing discourse.

“Even though I don’t like people dragging our business god into unrelated drama, I still have to admit, Tang Wan has excellent taste.”

“That on-camera confession was actually kind of amazing. I can’t believe I’m already imagining their pairing.”

“Please do not drag our Shang Baitong into this chaos. Thank you.”

The online war escalated rapidly, and with multiple fanbases colliding at once, the traffic surged so violently that the platform itself began to lag, nearly overwhelmed by the volume of activity.

Meanwhile, inside the quiet interior of her nanny car, Tang Wan sat calmly, looking down at the messages Wan Jie had just sent her, her expression cold and unmoved.

“Wanwan, I’m sorry. I didn’t know what else to do, I couldn’t say anything. Can you forgive me?”

“Wanwan, I was wrong. Don’t be angry, okay?”

“Wanwan… will you reply to me?”

The words, filled with false regret and carefully crafted helplessness, only made her lips curl into a mocking smile.

Without hesitation, she typed out a reply.

“Wan Jie, I’ve already taken screenshots of these messages. If you dare to stir up anything else against me in the future, just wait and see how your so-called spotless image collapses. And don’t think I don’t know about your little white lotus. Stay as far away from me as possible from now on.”

After sending the message, she blocked him directly, cutting off any chance for further contact, and then, without the slightest pause, she unfollowed his account on social media, severing the last visible trace of their past connection.

At that moment, her manager, Wu Liang, who had been watching her carefully from the side, finally spoke up, his tone cautious yet probing.

“Wanwan… what exactly happened between you and Wan Jie? Why did things suddenly fall apart? Weren’t you two fine before?”

Hearing his question, Tang Wan slowly raised her eyes, looking at the man who, in the original storyline, had personally pushed the original host into the abyss. The chill in her gaze flickered briefly before she suppressed it, replacing it with a lazy, almost indifferent expression.

“You don’t know?” she said lightly. “Wan Jie found himself a new love, decided I was too old for him, and kicked me aside in advance. If I hadn’t responded quickly at the press conference today, my reputation would’ve been completely ruined by now, and yet you, my agent, are only asking about it after everything has already exploded?”

Wu Liang’s heart jolted at her words, a trace of unease flashing through him, but he quickly covered it up, forcing a laugh.

“I was caught off guard too by Wan Jie’s move,” he said hastily. “But fortunately, you handled it well and clarified things in time, otherwise the online backlash would’ve been even worse.”

Inwardly, however, his thoughts were far less innocent.

If Wan Jie hadn’t already handed him five million in advance, he would have stepped in immediately to manage the crisis, but money spoke louder than loyalty, and Wan Jie had been far more generous.

Tang Wan merely let out a cold snort, her eyes narrowing slightly as she looked at him, her voice turning sharp.

“Since his wings are strong enough now that he wants to cut ties with me, then from this moment on, Wan Jie and I are complete strangers, and if I find out that you’ve leaked anything about me to anyone…”

She did not finish the sentence, but the unspoken threat hung clearly in the air, heavy and unmistakable.
