Chapter 784: Scandal Queen vs. The White Lotus Actor 55

 Tang Wan was right.

If the other people didn't say anything about Wan Jie's attempt to play the victim, then it would have been quite successful.

Unfortunately, the traffic actress, who was still furious after being berated by him, couldn't swallow her anger.

She directly reposted the topic about Wan Jie being disfigured and bluntly said, "He did not fall while picking coconuts for us, thanks!"

The gossip-loving netizens immediately became interested.

So Wan Jie really had fallen, but the claim that he had fallen while picking coconuts for his teammates was made up?

For a time, everyone flocked to the traffic actress's Weibo account, demanding to know the truth.

Of course, the traffic actress wanted to tell them the truth. But the show had not aired yet, and she had also signed a confidentiality agreement. Apart from cooperating with the promotional campaign, she couldn't say too much.

So she could only hold it in with all her might and reply, "You'll know once the show airs."

As soon as she said this, netizens became even more excited for this episode of the show.

……

Wan Jie wasn't stupid either.

Knowing that the fact that he had cursed at the others on the show would bring him a lot of criticism, he immediately went to complain to Bai Pingting after returning.

He also said that if the production crew deliberately edited the footage to make him look bad, there would definitely be another wave of fans leaving him. If that happened, then what was the point of staying in the entertainment industry?

Seeing that Wan Jie had returned from participating in a show wanting to quit the entertainment industry, Bai Pingting was heartbroken.

So she once again pleaded with her father to step in and warn the production crew not to deliberately smear Wan Jie.

The production crew was absolutely furious.

Wan Jie's performance could have definitely sparked widespread discussion among netizens, but after the Bai family said this, the editors could only cut the footage in a positive way.

The parts where Wan Jie cursed at people and the arguments between them were ultimately all deleted.

The director was so furious that he directly declared that he would never invite Wan Jie onto his programs again!

If you couldn't handle it, why bother participating in variety shows?

This director was also quite well-known in the industry.

When other directors saw him apparently blacklisting Wan Jie, they immediately came over to ask what had happened.

After hearing the details, the other directors also began avoiding Wan Jie.

Although Wan Jie had temporarily managed to preserve his reputation, he was now also excluded from all the other major hit variety shows.

……

A week later, the show aired.

Because of the earlier trending searches, many netizens were already sitting in front of their computers waiting for the program to begin.

When Tang Wan and Shang Baitong appeared together, both of their fanbases became extremely excited. The comments on the screen were filled with shrieks of excitement.

"The married couple is appearing together! I'm so excited!"

As the show continued airing and everyone saw how much Shang Baitong doted on Tang Wan, countless fans immediately complained about how jealous they were.

No one had expected that when Movie Emperor Shang spoiled his wife, he would practically turn into a wife-obsessed husband.

Especially whenever the two looked at each other, the affection in their eyes was so obvious that viewers could practically feel their love for each other through the screen.

Then, with the chaotic situation on Wan Jie's side serving as a comparison, Tang Wan's fans immediately began commenting:

"Our Wanwan's taste in husbands really is first-rate! Where did certain people get the nerve to say back then that Wanwan wanted to keep him? Compared to Movie Emperor Shang, what the hell is he?"

And wasn't that precisely why Shang Baitong had participated in this show—to make Wan Jie look bad by comparison?

Although he had always followed the principle of keeping a low profile when it came to his private life, his wife had been bullied by someone in the past. As her husband, how could he not get even for her?

When necessary, he didn't mind showing off their affection and publicly declaring how happy they were.
