740 What Are You Trying to Do? (1/2)

The large TV screen in the cafe was showing the wedding photos of Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an that Lin Nuan had released on her official Weibo account…

The show host of the tabloid news show then showed Chu Xun's video from earlier again. In her description of Chu Xun, you could tell she couldn't wait to push Chu Xun into the mud.

Bai Xiaonian raised her matcha latte and took a sip. Hearing repeated mentions of Chu Xun's name, she recalled some hearsay she heard last night.

”I heard that Chu Xun went overseas after she resigned from her post as President of Haicheng TV Station!” Bai Xiaonian had plenty of sources when it came to such hearsay. ”It seems like she was forced to get married by her family and has fallen out with her father. I heard she left because she broke off ties with the Chu family.”

Lin Nuan set down the coffee stirrer and held her coffee mug with her slim and fair hand. ”It's just as well that she went overseas…”

Lin Nuan hadn't forgotten, after Chu Xun's video was released, many people had started attacking career women. Many said that women couldn't get the big picture and should return to being housewives.

Although she didn't like Chu Xun, Lin Nuan liked such comments even less.

”What nonsense news is this cafe playing?”

A shrill woman's voice was heard, so Bai Xiaonian turned her head towards the source of the sound.

She saw a glamorously dressed young lady shouting at the cafe staff, ”What lousy news! Trampling on others just so she could put Lin Nuan in a good light. Chu Xun merely went overseas for further studies, but you people made it sound like she fled after committing some grave crime! Is it wrong to like a person? Which of you has never liked a person? Isn't it just because that slut Lin Nuan is together with Brother Huai'an… If it were another person who was with Brother Huai'an, the one being scolded by others would be her!”

”Jiaoyang, you're so kind. Sister Chu Xun treated you that way in Venice, yet you're still speaking up for her…”

”Exactly! If it were me, I'd surely hate Sister Chu Xun to death! No way I'd be speaking up for her!”

”If Sister Chu Xun comes to know this, she'll surely regret treating you that way in Venice!”

The three young ladies who were sitting with Chu Jiaoyang started flattering her.

Bai Xiaonian sneered. ”Hur, who else would it be? It turns out it's that retarded younger sister in the Chu family!”

Bai Xiaonian was about to speak up when she heard someone else do so before she could…

”It's not wrong to like a person, but if you want to snatch her husband after knowing he's already married, it's a grave crime! Such a crime is then called cheap! For a young lady like you to have such twisted morals, the Chu family sure gave you an excellent upbringing!”

Looking towards the source of the sound, Bai Xiaonian saw, to her surprise, Lin Ran, who was sitting in a corner!

Lin Ran placed her coffee mug back onto the little saucer in a relaxed fashion, then drew a napkin and elegantly wiped away the cappuccino foam from her maple-red lips.

Bai Xiaonian widened her eyes. She hadn't expected that she would live to see the day that Lin Ran spoke up for Lin Nuan. She reached out and patted Lin Nuan, who was sitting opposite her, indicating for Lin Nuan to look in Lin Ran's direction.

Lin Ran was wearing formal attire and sitting opposite a bespectacled man. It wasn't hard to tell that she was likely forced to come out on a blind date by Liang Mulan.

”Did she snatch your husband? What are you so agitated for?” Chu Jiaoyang raged at Lin Ran.
