She wore a high-end cocktail dress and took photos with all the celebrities present at the venue.
Seeing this, the reporters did not pass up the opportunity to interview Shen Weiwei.
The reporter asked a few questions, “Miss Shen, how do you feel about the rumors that have recently appeared on the Internet about you, Mr. Lu, and Miss Ji?”
Shen Weiwei seemed to not expect this question and her face became bleak for a while. She then responded with a bitter smile, “He and I broke up a long time ago. I don’t want to talk about this matter anymore.”
The way she emphasized the word “long time ago” appeared to be a bit ambiguous.
After all, no one really knew when exactly Shen Weiwei’s “long time ago” happened.
Who knows whether they broke up before or during the show?
However, based on Shen Weiwei’s demeanor and expression, many people believed the breakup occurred prior to the show.
“The Internet says you and Lu Liting split up because of Ji Qingqing. Is that true?”
“I don’t want to talk about this matter anymore. I just wish them happiness in the future. That’s all.”
She answered the question, looking haggard, and then left the scene, seemingly preoccupied with something.
The word ‘they’ was also used quite skillfully, Ji Qingqing thought.
Netizens might have wondered, Did Shen Weiwei want to wish Lu Liting and Ji Qingqing happiness, or did she want to wish Lu Liting and Ji Qingqing happiness with their respective partners?
Well… who can say?
Gu Shaoyu and his team also issued a press release on Shen Weiwei’s behalf in order to investigate the source of the gossip. They sent a lawyer’s letter to the marketing account responsible for starting the issue and claimed that Shen Weiwei’s relationship with Lu Liting and the rest was all but a sham.
Previously, Shen Weiwei had a friendly relationship with the marketing account. She abruptly sued the marketing account, which angered many other marketing accounts.
This matter drew increasing attention and suddenly, revelation posts from so-called insiders and close friends appeared in an endless stream. Many speculated on the four people’s muddy relationship.
Ji Qingqing wryly smiled after analyzing the cause and consequence.
How did these marketing accounts find out so much information since some of these articles were even dated a long time ago?
Shen Weiwei’s quite impressive too. How did she manage to utter nonsense calmly with her eyes open?
Ji Qingqing didn’t believe that Shen Weiwei had clean hands* at all.
*T/N: innocent, had nothing to do with the matter.
Since Shen Weiwei added fuel to the flames, then were she and Gu Shaoyu the masterminds? Though, it’s also possible that Gu Shaoyu might have planned all of this.
Ji Qingqing subconsciously tapped her fingertips on the phone screen, pondering over the matter. She didn’t notice Lu Lixing approaching from behind.
“What are you looking at?” Lu Lixing suddenly spoke, which startled her.
“Why are you here?” Ji Qingqing abruptly turned around and glanced outside at the door. “Have you finished talking with Lu Liting so quickly?”
When Lu Liting was mentioned, Lu Li Xing’s face became difficult to read and he only made a brief murmur in response.
He then asked, “What were you looking at so intently? You didn’t even notice me approaching you.”
“What else can there be?” Ji Qingqing replied, “I was reading some showbiz news.”
She then opened her phone and handed it to Lu Lixing. She changed into a comfortable sitting position on the sofa before continuing, “Husband, someone on the Internet said that I cheated on you. They called me a mistress for interfering in the relationship between your brother and Shen Weiwei!”
Lu Lixing glanced at her distractedly, then finished reading the ins and outs of the whole thing in silence. He asked, “You and Lu Liting…”
“Your brother came home only a few times,” Ji Qingqing hurriedly explained before he finished speaking.
“Even when he isn’t at the Lu house, you frequently video chat with me when I go to film. Do I even seem to have the time to bother about having an affair with him?”
“… Sorry, that’s not what I meant. I just wanted to ask you, why did you break up with Lu Liting in the first place?” he asked while looking deeply into Ji Qingqing’s eyes.
Ji Qingqing was slightly startled, not understanding what Lu Lixing meant by bringing up ancient history. She only said perfunctorily, “It all happened a long time ago. How can I still remember it?”
“You really don’t remember?”
Ji Qinqing nodded softly, “It’s been so many years, isn’t it natural to put these kinds of things to the back of your mind?”
Lu Liting stiffened and became listless when he overheard Ji Qingqing’s words outside the door.
“Let’s not talk about it. Instead…” Ji Qingqing got up and took out the phone from his hand, ranting indignantly, “… why was I implicated? It’s obviously none of my business. But in the end, why was I scolded?”
Lu Lixing took out his mobile phone. When Ji Qingqing saw what Lu Lixing was about to do, she rushed over to stop him, saying, “Don’t! You’re the CEO of a company. Don’t get involved in this as you will only be taken advantage of by ill-intentioned people. Let me handle it instead.”
With that being said, Ji Qingqing posted a message on Weibo.
“Thank you for your blessings. Although you and Lu Liting broke up only five days ago, I still hope you can emerge from your lost love as soon as possible and find your true love quickly ~”
A short time after Ji Qingqing posted on Weibo, various comments showing doubt and support popped up in the comments section. Both fans and anti-fans alike gathered and scolded each other, causing a whole lot of ruckus.
Following that, a Weibo account suspected to be Lu Liting’s appeared online and sent a microblog saying, “I broke up with Shen Weiwei five days ago. We broke up due to incompatible personalities. No other parties were involved.”
After heavy scrutiny, netizens confirmed that the one who posted this microblogging was indeed Lu Liting himself.
His statement confirmed the authenticity of Ji Qingqing’s words.
This caused an uproar among the netizens. Although Lu Lixing and Shen Weiwei only split up five days ago, Shen Weiwei had already been on the show for three days prior.
In other words, even though Shen Weiwei had a boyfriend, it meant that she insisted on participating in a love-themed show to gain exposure. It’s also unavoidable to have lots of intimate moments with her on-screen partner. During the program, she ate and lived together with another person other than her boyfriend.
Considering that, what man can actually tolerate his girlfriend being intimate with other men?
Tides shifted as soon as the microblog was released. Netizens suddenly began to single out and blame Shen Weiwei.
