Chapter 69 - Do I really look silly? (2/2)

Zhou Tianyu was surprised too. “It was probably taken by a pa.s.serby during one of your confrontations with them. The commoners have always been interested in the fights between the wealthy families.”

Wen Xinya laughed. “Xu-er is really talented. Though he did not manage to get Ning Shuqian to show her true colors in the public eyes, these posts have already given her a bad name. She must be troubled over these comments, and I guess she’ll slowly start to lose her position in the circle.”

Zhou Tianyu continued, “The people in the circle despise third parties like Ning Shuqian who seduce married men. Though some of the affluent families in the circle have dealings with Ning Shuqian on the surface, their Madams have never been close to her.”

Right at this moment, Wen Xinya suddenly understood the real reason for Ning Shuqian’s deep hatred towards her mother. Though she was married into the Wen Family, she could never give up the t.i.tle of being a third party and would not be wholly accepted by others in the circle. This had tortured her and caused her great pain; even more than that of death. Because of this, she deeply resented Wen Xinya’s mother and avenged it on her. That was why Wen Xinya got into a sorry state in her previous life.

While everyone was happily chatting and enjoying themselves, the food and alcohol were served.

Wen Xinya poured some wine into everyone’s gla.s.ses and filled her own. After that, she raised her gla.s.s high and said, “I got a victory this time because of you. Thank you for all your help. This is a toast to all of you. Cheers!”

Soon after she finished talking, she drank and finished the wine in one go.

Han Mofeng clapped and cheered. “Great! Well done!”

Gu Junlin smiled. “We didn’t help much. The biggest credit goes to Qingxuan. You should really give him another toast.”

Ling Qingxuan quickly replied, “In this era, every artiste in the entertainment industry is affected by scandals and fabricated news reports made up by some unethical reporters. These artistes hate the reporters for using unscrupulous methods. We have just aired a few video clips of some artistes who were willing to speak up on your behalf. It is none of my credit.”

Lingyun Media and Entertainment Company belonged to the Ling Family, and they were the leader of the industry in the country. In recent years, the industry of movies and television entertainment was thriving, and the Ling Family had focused on growing their businesses with the trend.

“Regardless, I’m still grateful for your help.” Wen Xinya raised her gla.s.s and gave him a toast.

Wen Xinya toasted every one of them, including Gu Junlin and Han Mofeng. After a few gla.s.ses of wine, though she was not feeling tipsy yet, her face was warm.

When she was about to give a toast to Zhou Tianyu, Zhou Tianyu held her hand down. “If you really wish to thank me, please request your Grampy to write me a piece of Chinese calligraphy on my behalf! Your Grampy’s Yan-Style calligraphy strokes are thick and powerful, aggressive yet orderly, thin but dominant, a.s.sertive and with principle and ambition. His calligraphy skills are incomparable. It was all because of Old Master Mo that I got inspired to learn the Yan-Style calligraphy strokes during my younger days.”

Gu Junlin burst into laughter. “She is your Grampy’s super silly fan-girl.”

Zhou Tianyu gave Gu Junlin a kick. “Go to h.e.l.l. Who did you call silly? Old Master Mo is a well-respected teacher. Only those who are intelligent are worthy to be his fans. Otherwise, it’ll be an insult to Old Master Mo.”

Wen Xinya burst into laughter as well. “Haha. Are you praising my Grampy, or are you actually giving compliments to yourself for being intelligent?”

Zhou Tianyu pointed at herself and asked, “Do I really look silly?”

Gu Junlin leaned forward and looked at her face closely. “Oh? When did you start having these acnes?”
