Chapter 631: To Bring Wen Xin Down from Her Pedestal
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Why, Uncle Zhao, are you scared? This path you’ve chosen isn’t easy. I just want to help you take some shortcuts. Do you dare?”
Wen Xin sat lazily in her office chair, her fingers tapping lightly on the armrest. Her face was cold and calculating. She was gambling, gambling that Zhao Honghan was a man with guts.
Zhao Honghan looked at the documents in front of him. After hesitating for about a minute, he suddenly chuckled, “What’s there to be afraid of? To get to where I am today, I’ve learned one thing: to stand firm, you have to be ruthless. I’ll start preparing now. You wait for my news.”
“Alright, I’ll be waiting for your news, Uncle Zhao.”
Wen Xin responded softly and hung up the phone. She leaned back in her office chair, a satisfied smile spreading across her face. Since they were going to play, they might as well play big. Some things can’t be resolved by running away.
Jiang Linyan went to the training base that day to get the details of the conflict between Tan Xingyue and Jiang Linfei. After understanding the situation, she also realized why Jiang Desheng had lost his temper.
From a young age, Jiang Desheng spoiled Jiang Linfei and Jiang Linyan, never letting them suffer any grievances. This time, being slapped in the face by Tan Xingyue was indeed too much.
The most important thing was that Jiang Linfei never expected Liang Luoyu to take a liking to a girl like Tan Xingyue, which explained why she was targeting her.
“Liang Luoyu’s taste is really similar to Mu Chengxi’s. Both like those delicate little flowers that crawl out of nowhere. It’s disgusting!”
Wei Shisheng and Jiang Linyan sat in a private club box. After hearing Jiang Linyan’s words, Wei Shisheng sneered.
“I couldn’t understand why Mu Chengxi didn’t like me at first, but later, I heard he even rejected Miss Jiang’s advances. Now I understand. Maybe Mu Chengxi really has a problem with his eyes!”
“And Liang Luoyu, who used to court Wen Xin, is now fawning over another delicate flower. They’re all blind!”
When Wei Shisheng mentioned Mu Chengxi and his circle, her eyes were filled with hatred. She always felt that her downfall was because of them.
She used to be the top socialite in the capital, but now she had to scrape by in the entertainment industry. It was ridiculous.
“Alright, let’s not talk about those people anymore. Linfei’s issue won’t be resolved just like that. Right now, we’re giving face to the Ling family. Later, Linfei will have her own ways of dealing with that delicate flower!”
“I heard you’re going to collaborate with the Heavenly King, superstar Chu Mufeng. How does it feel? Is he even more handsome in person than on screen?”
Jiang Linyan didn’t want to discuss Mu Chengxi’s crowd anymore. Every time she thought of how Mu Chengxi doted on Wen Xin, it made her feel like she had swallowed a fly. She couldn’t understand why she had lost to Wen Xin.
“Yes, that man is incredibly handsome. Some say that stars look different on TV than in real life, but that’s not the case with Chu Mufeng. When I first saw him, I was stunned. He’s so handsome!”
Talking about Chu Mufeng, Wei Shisheng became starstruck again.
When she saw Chu Mufeng, her first reaction was that this man’s looks could rival Mu Chengxi’s, except for a slightly lesser noble aura.
Seeing Wei Shisheng’s starstruck look, Jiang Linyan took a sip of her drink, lit a cigarette, and smiled.
“After seeing a perfect man like Mu Chengxi, you can still be interested in other men. That really shows how outstanding he is!”
Jiang Linyan took a drag from her cigarette, gazing out the window. She envied Wei Shisheng for being able to move on from Mu Chengxi. She didn’t know when she could get over him.
Wei Shisheng noticed Jiang Linyan’s melancholic expression. She took out a document bag from her purse and placed it in front of Jiang Linyan.
“I know you can’t let go of Mu Chengxi. But there’s a way to sow discord between him and Wen Xin. Look at the surprise I’ve brought you. It might be useful.”
Jiang Linyan looked at Wei Shisheng’s mischievous expression, her delicate eyes narrowing with suspicion.
“Don’t look at me like that. When you see this, you’ll realize what a great surprise I’ve brought you. Once these photos are online, not just the Mu family, even an ordinary family wouldn’t tolerate a woman like her!”
“Then the opportunity will be yours. Who else but you, Jiang Linyan, can be the Mu family’s matriarch?”
After hearing Wei Shisheng’s words, Jiang Linyan became more curious. What special surprise had Wei Shisheng brought her? She wanted to know what kind of scandal could make the Mu family despise Wen Xin.
With curiosity, Jiang Linyan picked up the brown paper bag that Wei Shisheng had placed on the table. When she saw the photos inside, her eyes widened in shock.
“Is this for real?”
“We saw it at Chu Mufeng’s house while filming a variety show. These aren’t photoshopped. Even if she denies it, there’s no explaining it away.”
“She was already living with a boy in her teens. If Mu Chengxi, with his cleanliness obsession, found out, how could he not be disgusted? If this scandal breaks out, not only Chu Mufeng’s fans but also Mu’s grandmother wouldn’t accept her!”
Wei Shisheng had already started fantasizing about Wen Xin’s future misery. She was delighted at the thought of Wen Xin being kicked away by Mu Chengxi and falling into a worse state than her own. She wanted Wen Xin to experience the pain she had endured.
After looking at the photos, Jiang Linyan disdainfully threw them aside and sneered.
“I knew that girl wasn’t simple. Doing such filthy things at a young age shows she’ll stop at nothing to get what she wants. No wonder even Mu Chengxi is a bit irrational over her. She’s been devious from a young age.”
Wei Shisheng smiled faintly at Jiang Linyan. “When do you plan to act? I know many entertainment reporters who are great at handling these things…”
“No rush. Such a trump card must be used at the right time. I’m not in a hurry. Let’s wait…”
With that, Jiang Linyan gave a wicked smile, indicating she already had a plan. She didn’t just want to ruin Wen Xin. She wanted to bring her down from her pedestal to hell, with no chance of ever rising again.
“You mentioned introducing me to people from the Independent State. How’s that going? Have you heard about the Qian family’s connection to the Independent State?”
Jiang Linyan still remembered what Qian Meng said when he asked her for help. At that time, she didn’t pay much attention but was still curious if his words were true.
