Chapter 765: Scandal Queen vs. The White Lotus Actor 36

 In short, as Wan Jie continuously used a large number of paid commenters to whitewash his image, the number of people online wishing him and Bai Pingting well grew increasingly large.

But how could Shang Baitong possibly stand by and watch someone who had once bullied Tang Wan receive everyone's envy?

He immediately had the paid commenters under his studio's control mobilized and began “stating the facts” and “posting real photos.”

Before long, a large number of negative comments about Wan Jie began appearing online.

Among them were even high-definition photos of Wan Jie entering and leaving nightclubs.

Seeing the sudden flood of negative comments online, Wan Jie panicked and became furious. “What's going on? Who's trying to smear me?”

If they had merely been smearing him, that would have been one thing.

But the key was that much of the evidence the other side had produced was real.

Before he met Bai Pingting, in order to escape the humiliation of feeling like a kept man in front of Tang Wan, he really had gone to a nightclub looking for a girl who appeared pure and harmless.

However, because he was afraid Tang Wan would find out, he hadn't actually done anything with that girl.

But in the eyes of the Bai family, even the slightest stain was unacceptable.

If the Bai family found out that he had once gone to nightclubs looking for girls, they would definitely have a problem with him!

……

Hearing Wan Jie, his manager was also somewhat uncertain. “A-Jie, these paid commenters seem to be deliberately targeting you! Could it be someone Tang Wan hired?”

The only person who had a grudge against Wan Jie and wasn't afraid of the Bai family was Tang Wan.

Wan Jie's heart sank when he heard this.

Then he said coldly, “It must be her! That bitch thinks she can stop me from being with Tingting by doing this?”

The Bai family was far more powerful than the Tang family. He was already the Bai family's tacitly approved son-in-law, so he wasn't afraid of Tang Wan!

His eyes turned cold. After a moment, Wan Jie picked up his phone and called Bai Pingting.

“Hello, A-Jie, what's wrong?” Bai Pingting was having a spa treatment at a beauty salon at that moment. When she saw Wan Jie's call, her face immediately lit up with a sweet smile.

But then she heard Wan Jie say in a low, restrained voice, “Tingting, it's nothing. I just suddenly missed you. What are you doing?”

“I'm getting a spa treatment!” Bai Pingting said gently.

“That's good.” Wan Jie sounded as though he had breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, seemingly trying to cover something up, he said to Bai Pingting, “Then enjoy your spa. Don't go online for no reason, and try not to browse Weibo too much, okay?”

“Mm, I know!” Bai Pingting sweetly agreed.

But inwardly, she felt that something was off.

Why had A-Jie's tone sounded so strange just now? It seemed as though he was hiding something from her.

……

Although Bai Pingting was a dodder flower accustomed to depending on others, that didn't mean she had no brains.

After noticing that Wan Jie's tone was strange and that he'd specifically told her not to go online or browse Weibo, she thought about it for a while before picking up her phone and logging onto Weibo.

The moment she did, she saw several hot searches exposing things about Wan Jie.

For a moment, Bai Pingting's expression immediately darkened.

After clicking on them and seeing what the news was actually about, she immediately called Wan Jie.

Of course, she believed her lover.

A-Jie was so gentle and devoted to her. There was no way he would go to nightclubs looking for girls!

……

Wan Jie wasn't surprised at all when he saw Bai Pingting's call.

After answering, he continued speaking gently. “Tingting, what's wrong?”

Hearing this, Bai Pingting immediately said, “A-Jie, what's going on with what they're saying on Weibo? Is someone deliberately trying to smear you?”

She absolutely didn't believe that A-Jie could have done something like that.
