Chapter 754: Scandal Queen vs. The White Lotus Actor 25

A moment later, Shang Baitong hung up.

The fact that he had been able to rise smoothly through the entertainment industry to where he was today wasn't solely because of his acting skills.

……

Meanwhile, Wan Jie had been completely stunned by Tang Wan and Shang Baitong's relationship announcement.

After the two went public, many netizens congratulated them before heading over to Wan Jie's Weibo to mock him for being delusional and full of himself.

Looking at those comments laughing at him one after another, Wan Jie felt a surge of anger well up inside him.

He picked up his phone and called Wu Liang. “How did you handle things? When did Tang Wan get involved with Shang Baitong? Why didn't I know about it? Did she already put a green hat on me while we were dating?!”

It made sense when he thought about it. How could she possibly have gotten involved with Shang Baitong just a few days after they broke up?!

The only explanation was that Tang Wan had already been involved with Shang Baitong while they were still together!

Hah!

And she had kept saying that she loved him. Was this what her love looked like?

She had been secretly involved with Shang Baitong behind his back, and she called that love?

What made him even angrier was that he hadn't noticed a single sign of it.

He could cheat on her, but that didn't mean Tang Wan was allowed to cheat on him, even though he didn't love her at all!

……

Hearing Wan Jie's words, Wu Liang could only helplessly say, “I'd like to know when she got involved with Shang Baitong too! Tang Wan terminated her contract with the company today. From now on, don't ask me about her affairs! I don't know anything!”

He couldn't afford to provoke the Tang family!

Wan Jie was also startled when he heard Wu Liang. “What did you say? She terminated her contract?”

“Yes. And before she left, she even warned me. She probably found out about our deal a long time ago!” Wu Liang said.

Hearing this, Wan Jie's heart sank.

If that was the case, then Tang Wan's quick reaction at the press conference made perfect sense!

And he… had been completely kept in the dark by her all this time, thinking that she still loved him!

What a scheming, manipulative bitch!

Bitch!

……

After angrily hanging up, Wan Jie looked at his steadily dropping follower count and immediately told his manager to buy some fake followers to make up the numbers.

Although he really wanted to expose the fact that he and Tang Wan had dated at this moment and let everyone see Tang Wan's true colors, if he did that, he wouldn't be able to clear his own name either!

And he wouldn't be able to explain himself to the Bai family.

Thinking about this, Wan Jie felt as though a ball of fire had been stuffed inside his chest. The more he thought about it, the more miserable he felt!

He had originally wanted to trick that old woman, but he hadn't expected her to turn the tables on him instead!

So infuriating!

Just then, Wan Jie's phone rang again. Seeing that the caller was Bai Pingting, he immediately adjusted his breathing, answered the phone, and spoke gently. “Hello, Tingting…”

“A-Jie, Dad asked you to come over to our house for dinner tonight,” Bai Pingting said softly.

Hearing this, Wan Jie's heart leaped with joy.

He hurriedly replied, “Okay, I understand. I'll be there on time.”

This was the first time the Bai family had invited him to their home for dinner in the two years since they had agreed to let him date Bai Pingting!

As long as he succeeded in marrying Bai Pingting, however many followers he lost now, he'd gain ten or even a hundred times that number back in the future!

……

That evening.

After carefully dressing up, Wan Jie took the gift he had thoughtfully chosen and drove to the Bai residence.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw Bai Pingting running toward him excitedly in a white dress. “A-Jie, you're here?”

Bai Pingting was only around 1.5 meters tall. She looked petite and delicate, with an exceptionally refined and adorable appearance that made people instinctively want to protect her.

It was precisely because of this that Wan Jie had fallen for her at first sight back then.
