Chapter 764: Scandal Queen vs. The White Lotus Actor 35

 Hearing Shang Baitong's words, Old Wei immediately glared at him resentfully. “You still have the nerve to say that?! If I'd known you'd become like this after falling in love, I should've stopped you back then!”

!

During these past two weeks, his fans on Weibo had been begging him to post some kind of update, but he hadn't posted a single thing. Meanwhile, on his Moments, he was practically posting more than a dozen updates a day about how much fun he and Tang Wan were having on their private island, showing off their affection every single day!

If you have the guts, show off in front of your fans! What's the point of flaunting your relationship in your private Moments? What kind of man does that?!

……

Hearing Old Wei, Shang Baitong immediately replied without a care, “You? Tang Wan and I are a match made in heaven, destined to be together. Even if you gained another fifty kilos, you still couldn't stop me!”

Old Wei……

I used to think this picky grandson was destined to be single for life. Now I realize you're even more unbearable once you fall in love!

Just listen to the things you're saying!

But why does it feel like I've eaten a whole lemon? Why am I so sour?

Someone as particular and perfectionistic as Shang Baitong actually has someone willing to put up with him. Meanwhile, why couldn't my girlfriend put up with my sloppiness and end up breaking up with me?

Sob!

Sure enough, this really is a world where people judge by appearances!

It's absolutely despairing!

……

Quite a few things had happened while Tang Wan and Shang Baitong were traveling on the island.

One of them involved her former manager, Wu Liang. Because he had become addicted to gambling, he had squandered his entire fortune, losing all the savings he'd accumulated over the years, and had even taken out loans from loan sharks.

Unable to repay the loans, desperation drove Wu Liang to take a dangerous step. He decided to expose the fact that Tang Wan and Wan Jie had secretly dated for five years and sell the information for ten million yuan.

However, as soon as he sold the information, Wan Jie found out about it.

So, before Shang Baitong could continue setting a trap for Wu Liang, Wan Jie had already hired someone to beat Wu Liang half to death. Not only did he cripple both of Wu Liang's legs, he also had his tongue cut out.

……

Another thing that happened was that Wan Jie and Bai Pingting, the Bai family's only daughter, publicly announced their relationship.

“My angel, thank you for coming into my life. I'll love you forever!” Wan Jie wrote sweetly on Weibo.

The accompanying photo showed Bai Pingting wearing a princess dress, holding his hand and smiling with an innocent, blissful expression.

Once the two made their relationship public, Wan Jie's fans began declaring that they were going to unfollow him.

“Bah! Shameless! First you accused Tang Wan of keeping you, and then you immediately got together with the Bai family's heiress. Isn't that still being kept?”

“Some people, huh? They claim they reject unspoken rules, but in reality, they're practically begging to be kept!”

“Heh, unfollowing! I refuse to stan such a scummy, spineless man!”

There were countless similar comments, and Wan Jie looked extremely unpleasant when he saw them.

But when he thought about how his marriage to Bai Pingting had already been settled, he forcibly endured the insults and mockery, then had his manager hire paid commenters to whitewash his image.

“Congratulations to Wan Jie! You and Miss Bai really look like a perfect married couple!”

“Congratulations to Jiejie on finding his happiness! Miss Bai is wonderful. She's much cleaner than certain high-class prostitutes in the industry!”

“Jiejie's taste is really good! Bai Pingting is a genuine rich heiress! Keep it up!”

……

Netizens who didn't know the truth were the easiest to sway with public opinion. Whichever side made the most noise was the side whose comments they would see more often. Therefore, although quite a few people suspected that Wan Jie had latched onto the Bai family, once public opinion was guided in that direction, they quickly began to think that Wan Jie was incredibly lucky and that he and Bai Pingting made a perfect match.

Quite a few passersby were jealous, but at the same time, they couldn't help envying Wan Jie for how many years of hard work he would be able to skip.
