After the scumbag Bai Yueguang returned to China, the rich daughter stopped pretending

Chen Yuanyuan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Chu Tang's head, and he suddenly came to his senses.

She opened Weibo, and the top trending search was "Jiang Group President and Li Lanxi's relationship exposed."

Chu Tang saw the entry but didn't dare to click on it.

Li Lanxi is a popular female star in the domestic entertainment industry, and Chu Tang has watched the TV series she starred in before.

Why was Jiang Shixu involved in a scandal with her? I've never heard him mention that he knew Li Lanxi before.

"Hello? Tangtang, are you listening?" Chen Yuanyuan said angrily before the call was even finished. "I never knew Brother Shixu was this kind of person! You said yesterday you were just having a conflict, and today he was photographed entering a hotel with a female celebrity. This scumbag is so pissed off! Ahhhhh!"

Go to the hotel together?

Chu Tang's heart suddenly tightened, and in an instant his whole body felt cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Finally, she clicked on the entry.

All I see is a screen full of scandals.

Recently, popular actress Li Lanxi was photographed entering a hotel with a mysterious man. The two were seen behaving intimately, suggesting a romantic relationship. Insiders claim the man is Jiang Shixu, the president of the Jiang Group and the crown prince of Jiangcheng. Li Lanxi's studio has yet to issue a statement clarifying the matter.

The picture below the text is a secretly taken photo of Li Lanxi and a man. In the photo, Li Lanxi was caught looking back, revealing his entire face, while the mysterious man only showed his side profile.

The moment Chu Tang saw the photo, the blood in his body froze.

Others might not be able to tell who it was from that profile, but she could recognize it as Jiang Shixu at a glance.

In the photo, Jiang Shixu is wearing a black coat and walking beside Li Lanxi. The handsome man and beautiful woman are very pleasing to the eye, and netizens who commented on the photo said that they are a perfect match.

The following Weibo post reads: [Will Li Lanxi join a wealthy family? According to insiders, the mysterious man who entered the hotel with Li Lanxi is the president of the Jiang Group. The two are currently in a relationship. Li Lanxi may marry into a wealthy family.]

The picture is similar to the one in the above Weibo post.

Scrolling down, there are several more articles with the same content.

Chu Tang rolled all the way down, shaking with anger, his heart aching, and breathing becoming difficult.

Tears fell on the phone screen, blurring the photo.

Chu Tang hung up Chen Yuanyuan's call and called Jiang Shixu.

The phone rang for a long time but no one answered.

After the call was automatically hung up, Chu Tang immediately called again.

Still no one answered.

Chu Tang's heart grew colder little by little.

When I called for the fifth time, the call was finally connected.

Chu Tang asked with a trembling voice, crying, "The trending searches are all fake, right? The person in the photo is not you, right? Brother Shixu, as long as you say it, I will believe you."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, and then a pleasant female voice came: "Um... who are you? I'm Li Lanxi. Young Master Jiang is in the shower and can't answer the phone. Do you have something to talk to him about? I can pass it on for him."

Chu Tang felt a sudden pain in his heart and even stopped breathing.

When there was no response, Li Lanxi asked again: "Hello? Can you hear me?"

......

"My sister-in-law is dead." Li Lanxi shrugged and looked up at Jiang Shixu. "I'm not saying this, but you're really hurtful. If I were your sister-in-law, I'd hate you forever."

The woman threw the phone to Jiang Shixu and said, "I don't mind being a shield, but you have to think carefully. If a girl is hurt too deeply, it may be impossible to coax her back in the future."

The popular actress Li Lanxi actually has another identity: the second daughter of the Tongcheng Li family, a real socialite.

Jiang Shixu's grandmother, Li Shuying, was born in the Li family of Tongcheng.

Li Lanxi's grandfather and Jiang Shixu's grandmother Li Shuying are siblings, so Li Lanxi and Jiang Shixu are relatives, but the relationship is a bit distant.

As a popular actress, Li Lanxi has a full schedule every day. She is either filming a movie or appearing on a variety show. She rarely has any time to rest. During the time when Ruan Chutang returned to Jiangcheng, she couldn't find time to meet with Ruan Chutang formally.

She didn't even have time to attend Jiang Shixu and Ruan Chutang's engagement ceremony. At that time, she was attending a very important film festival awards ceremony abroad and couldn't get away.

This time, in order to make Chutang give up, Jiang Shixu specially found this distant cousin and asked her to act out a play with him.

When Li Lanxi heard that her cousin wanted her to act in a play, she thought he was going to invest in a big movie. She smiled proudly and said, "Cousin, the movie you're investing in must be a big production. Don't worry, I'm a movie queen. You've found the right person. If I star in your movie, it will definitely be a hit!"

Jiang Shixu's brows were cold and his tone was calm, "You're not acting in a movie, you're acting with me."

Li Lanxi's mouth twitched. "What the hell?"

"You play my rumored girlfriend."

"Have you met a difficult woman? Do you want me to be your shield?"

Li Lanxi smelled gossip and said with a sly expression, "That shouldn't be the case. With your status as the Crown Prince of Jiangcheng, which fearless woman would dare to pester you? Besides, don't you have a fiancée?"

Jiang Shixu's expression suddenly darkened. "She's not a difficult woman. She's the only woman I love."

Li Lanxi was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

Jiang Shixu rarely took the time to explain things to Li Lanxi.

After hearing this, Li Lanxi sighed, "Oh, my sister-in-law is so pitiful. How can I refuse? My sister-in-law and I haven't even met each other yet, and I have to play the mistress in her love life. How can I face her in the future?"

"This is the reward." Jiang Shixu handed over a card.

Li Lanxi snorted coldly and tilted his head to the side. "Don't try to bribe me with money. I won't do anything to hurt beautiful women!"

"Fifty million."

"But then again..." Li Lanxi smiled and took the card. "We did this to protect my sister-in-law. We just need to explain the misunderstanding later. I believe my sister-in-law is magnanimous and will understand our good intentions!"

Li Lanxi thought to herself: Sister-in-law, please don’t blame me, he gave too much.

She worked tirelessly for several months on a TV series and only received a salary of 50 million yuan, and she also had to pay taxes.

You can get paid for several months just by acting with Jiang Shixu and appearing in a few photos. Where can you find such a good job?

Jiang Shixu's eyes were very pale, and his face was expressionless. "Act convincingly, don't let her see through you."

Li Lanxi patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, I'm the best actress!"

......

After Chu Tang hung up the phone, he sat by the window with a dazed look in his eyes, tears streaming down his face.

After a few minutes, Jiang Shixu called back.

Chu Tang thought he was going to explain, and a surge of anticipation welled up in her heart, and she couldn't wait to answer the phone.

Jiang Shixu pretended to be calm, "I heard from Xixi that you just called me and asked for something."

Hehehe.

What a term of endearment.

Just like he used to call her Tangtang.

The expectation that had just risen in Chutang's heart was cruelly strangled by these two words.

Chu Tang couldn't help crying and asked, "You and her..."

Is the rumor about you and her true?

Are you really together with her?

After just a few words, Chu Tang couldn't ask any further.

The pain in my chest was suffocating.

"Yeah." Jiang Shixu's voice was cold. "We've broken up. It's none of your business who I'm with."

Chu Tang's breath was caught.

She asked in a hoarse voice: "You are lying to me, aren't you? Brother Shixu, I don't believe you will be with someone else just after breaking up. Tell me the truth, is it because of Fu Yuanzhou? You haven't changed your heart, right? You did this just to protect me..."

"..."

Jiang Shixu on the other end of the phone felt so heartbroken when he heard Chutang crying.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a cold tone, "Don't be so self-indulgent."

After saying that, he could no longer pretend and hung up the phone in a panic.

Another second and he would have softened his heart.
