After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 28: What It’s Like When the Drama Happens to You

The plane landed, and there was a sudden clamor in her ears.

On the way out, another celebrity must have leaked their travel plans, as the exit was almost entirely occupied by fans holding various gifts.

When they finally met up with Tong Yue and the driver who came to pick them up, even Jiang Lingxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This time, she truly witnessed the madness of these celebrity fans!

Tong Yue, seeing Jiang Lingxi, felt her worries ease a bit. Leading the two out, she said, "I only just found out that your flight coincided with a member of the Starshine Girl Group's. Luckily, we're low-profile enough."

Lu Zhengzheng looked suddenly enlightened, "I was wondering why Sister Tong came to pick up Sister Xixi herself; turns out you were worried about this. Don't worry, I'm here!"

Tong Yue patted her shoulder and then glanced at Jiang Lingxi with some unspoken concern.

Jiang Lingxi noticed this, guessing that the coincidence with the flight was only part of the reason why they came to pick her up, and that there was a more critical reason left unsaid.

She didn't rush to ask.

It was only after they got into the car that she spoke up, "Sister Tong, what do you want to tell me?"

"You figured it out!" Tong Yue was both impressed by Jiang Lingxi's sharpness and surprised. She took out her phone from her bag, tapped a few times, and said, "Better for you to see for yourself."

Jiang Lingxi took the phone and immediately saw a familiar picture.

She was silent for a moment, "I saw this news last night before I went to bed. Besides someone mentioning me in the comment section, it shouldn't have much to do with me."

"You saw it?" Tong Yue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and her tone, "Didn't you see the picture at the very bottom?"

Jiang Lingxi raised her eyebrows, surprised by Tong Yue's reaction, "The one with the mysterious man's back and the luxury car? I saw it, but what does it have to do with me?"

Tong Yue: "..."

She put her hand to her forehead, closed her eyes for a long time, and then, with a last sliver of hope, asked, "Don't you think that silhouette and the car look a bit familiar?"

Jiang Lingxi was about to speak when Lu Zhengzheng, unable to contain her curiosity, boldly leaned in. Upon seeing the news on the phone screen, she exclaimed, "Why is it Jiang Xiyu again? Is she trying to set up Sister Xixi once more?"

Saying this, she even swiped downward.

She swiped until the screen stopped at the photo of the mysterious man's silhouette and half a luxury car in the corner.

As she looked, she suddenly gasped softly.

But the car was quiet at this moment, so the soft gasp made both Jiang Lingxi and Tong Yue look over.

Under the gaze of the two grand figures, Lu Zhengzheng gulped, "Um, Sister Xixi, we've seen this car before!"

Jiang Lingxi was about to ask where, when a scene flashed in her mind.

Comparing it with the photo on the phone, "Jiuxi Town?"

Lu Zhengzheng nodded furiously like a chick pecking rice, "Even though only a corner of the car is captured, I'm a car enthusiast and I'm sure I'm not wrong. This kind of car is rare, and there probably aren't more than three in the entire Imperial City. It should be the same car. But why would the car's owner be involved with Jiang Xiyu, and why have a night meeting at a hotel so boldly?"

After ranting, she felt a chill over her head.

She looked up to see Sister Tong gazing at her coolly, "Sister, did I say something wrong?"

Tong Yue took a deep breath, "Just shut up!" Then she turned to Jiang Lingxi, "Is this Jiuxi Town you talked about the place where you're filming the promotional video these days? Did you see this car there? Only the car, nothing else?"

Jiang Lingxi nodded, "I saw it at an intersection at the time, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Had Zhengzheng not mentioned it, I wouldn't have linked them. However, from Sister Tong's implication, does this car have some connection to me?"

Tong Yue's previous questions left her with no choice but to suspect.

Right after she asked, she saw a rather puzzled expression emerge on Tong Yue's face.

After a moment of eye contact, Tong Yue wiped her face and resignedly said, "I should be the one asking you. Although I've only met Mr. Shen a few times, I saw him get into this car once by chance. It's likely his car. And with that silhouette on the phone, I can't help but think further." She sighed with a touch of disbelief, "But you didn't recognize either the car or the person!"

Even as an outsider, she recognized it, and yet Jiang Lingxi, who was an insider, didn't; what a situation!

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

She remembered a popular phrase she had seen online: eating melons to the point of getting involved.

She had never expected she would experience something like this herself.

"I'm not familiar with him."

Tong Yue: "..." She sighed deeply, nodding, "I can see that."

As she took back the phone, she consciously closed Lu Zhengzheng's gaping mouth.

Lu Zhengzheng rubbed her sore cheeks, her big eyes darting between Sister Tong and Sister Xixi, feeling as if she were in a dream.

That luxury car they saw at Jiuxi Town was actually Sister Xixi's husband's ride!

The mysterious man reported to have a late-night rendezvous at the hotel with Jiang Xiyu was actually Sister Xixi's husband!

The gossip was so overwhelming it almost made her want to puke!

But remembering that fleeting glimpse she caught at the hospital, she shook her head reflexively, with a determined voice, "Sister Xixi, this news must be exaggerated and deliberately controversial. Mr. Shen isn't that kind of person."

"Besides, you are a woman of such exquisite beauty, no matter how much Jiang Xiyu tries, she could never match your natural charm. Why would Mr. Shen leave behind a proper wife like you to look for a counterfeit!"

After finishing her analysis, she nodded to herself, "Exactly, whoever wrote this news is just a scourge of the industry!"

Jiang Lingxi wasn't angry in the first place, since the person on that marriage certificate was a complete stranger to her.

Nonetheless, Lu Zhengzheng's indignant little demeanor amused her.

"Not bad, your analysis is quite spot on."

"Right, right. So, Sister Xixi, don't overthink it!"

"I'm not overthinking it."

Watching them sidetrack the topic to what they will have for dinner, Tong Yue suddenly felt like she had wasted her worry all day!

After deciding on dinner plans, Jiang Lingxi turned to Tong Yue, "Sister Tong."

"Hmm? I'm not eating with you. I just came to talk about the news, to give you a heads up. Later, I'll go home for dinner."

"I'll handle this matter myself; no need to worry, Sister Tong."

Tong Yue paused for a second before realizing what Jiang Lingxi was talking about, "How are you planning to handle it?"

"I'll have a candid talk with him."

Even though he was only a nominal husband and had never interfered with her predecessor's affairs according to the memories she received, she disliked not having things in her control.

She previously didn't have time, but now that she's back, she absolutely has to meet Shen Yunqing, to see what intentions this man, whose face is vague in her predecessor's memories, had when he married her predecessor.

Tong Yue nodded, "In any case, it's a matter between you and your husband. As long as it doesn't interfere with work, I won't interfere either."

After all, she didn't dare to interfere.

"Alright, rest assured, Sister Tong."

This time, Tong Yue just nodded. In this matter, she couldn't do much even if she wanted to.

The car stopped at the parking lot of an apartment complex, and as Jiang Lingxi and Lu Zhengzheng were retrieving their luggage from the trunk, a phone in her pocket rang.

Seeing "Mom" displayed as the caller ID, Jiang Lingxi paused.
