Chapter 785 - Domineering Confession
Chapter 785: Domineering Confession
Gu Xie had supper at Lin Xiaojuan’s home and stayed until midnight before he drove home.
On his way home, he made a phone call.
It was to a Mr. Popular at his workplace who had also gone to the charity event that night. “Was there anything going on about me at the charity event last night?”
“Boss, do scandals count?”
“Yeah!” He did not know when he had caused himself to have scandals.
His girlfriend was in a funny mood. Although nothing much happened at home, when she met him, she was behaving weirdly. He had long suspected something, but she never spoke about it, so he did not ask either. He always had other ways to hear about things.
The Mr. Popular said, “I heard a thing or two from the seniors that you have dated Jing Yun before and that you are treating Xiaojuan as a substitute!”
Gu Xie turned his steering wheel and jammed his brakes at the roadside, making the people behind him curse and yell at him. The driver from behind pushed their car horn madly, and Gu Xie ignored them. His eyes looked cold. “What?!”
“That’s no big deal. Didn’t you act as a guest actor in a show that Jing Yun was in? Ever since then, there were rumors being spread out that you fancied Jing Yun. You guys have met up a few times, and someone leaked the information out, but you pushed it down. Although there wasn’t much discussion about it, there were still quite a few people who knew you then. Now, there are even photos of the two of you on those celebrity gossip websites. Xiaojuan looks a lot like Jing Yun. These rumors thus seem to make sense.”
Upon feeling that Gu Xie sounded very cold, the Mr. Popular seemed to have some suspicions.
You mean it isn’t true?
That’s what everyone believed though.
Some men just love the same kind of faces.
Some people love narrow faces while some love round faces. Meanwhile, some men like faces that looked like influencers. All their exes look about the same, and there is nothing wrong with that. That was why everyone was talking about it.
“When did this rumor get out?”
“When you announced that you were engaged, people were already talking about it,” the Mr. Popular said. “I heard from ASL’s Zhou Fashion Editor that Jing Yun was the one who came up with it in the first place. She said that you guys had dated before and that the relationship ended peacefully. Oh right, at the charity event, I saw Jing Yun talking to Lin Xiaojuan. I bet it’s related to this thing as well.”
Gu Xie took a deep breath and grabbed his steering wheel tightly. “How did I not know about this?”
“This matter has never been spread to your ears,” Mr. Popular said. “You seldom appear in social events, and you don’t cooperate with the reporters either. The way you dealt with the reporter from GreenRay back then had made all the reporters wary of you. Why would they dare to send themselves to their own grave by coming to you?”
His boss had a gentle and nice persona in the shows that he acted in, but in real life, he was gentle yet distant. Deep down, he was a decisive and powerful man. That year when the scandal broke out, GreenRay suffered many losses. Now, they did not dare to mess with the Movie King and his thoughts.
The most gossipy website in the nation claimed that the GreenRay company that would say anything did not even dare to mess with Gu Xie. Therefore, other gossip websites stayed out of his way as well.
The Mr. Popular asked with fear, “Boss, even if this was true…”
“Nonsense!” Gu Xie cut him off coldly and hung up the phone.
It was no wonder that when Xiaojuan saw him, she heaved a huge sigh of relief and looked so miserable. No wonder she remained silent even though she seemed to have something to say. That was why he received such a sudden phone call from her, yet she changed the topic. So this was what happened.
Weird!
How could he be so silly to fall in love with a pretentious person!
Gu Xie took a quick turn and headed back towards Lin Xiaojuan’s home.
Lin Xiaojuan was just about to fall asleep when her phone rang. She unlocked her phone and saw several hot topic lists involving Gu Xie.
