Chapter 179: Chapter 179 Public Opinion Ferments, Treasure Author
“Huh, Mommy, did you finish your date with Uncle Mo Shuai so quickly?” Ningning asked, poking her little head out curiously.
Ning Yichu couldn’t help but laugh and cry. What date?
She hurriedly put Ningning to bed, then pulled Fan Yuke aside, “Yuke, I’ve discovered some major news! Once confirmed, that woman Shen Jiangqing might never be able to bounce back…”
Even if Li Lingyang adored Shen Jiangqing and indulged her hurting Chen Bao, he could never tolerate wearing a green hat.
That’s an insult no man can bear, especially those with power and influence.
Fan Yuke was almost confused, “What major news? Could it be that the man tonight was bribed by her? Have you already found evidence? Let’s call the police right away…”
“It’s not related to that.” Ning Yichu took out her phone, opened several photos, and handed them to Fan Yuke, “It’s Shen Jiangqing cheating! Look, this is her sneaking out of the hotel, if that’s not guilty, I don’t know what is…”
“My God, she… she actually cuckolded President Li? Wait, this is just a back shot in the photo, how can you be sure it’s her?”
“Flip through to the later photos. I was also afraid of mistaking the person, so I deliberately took a cab to follow her and confirmed she got off at Yudu Dragon Bay Villa!”
Fan Yuke clutched the phone and indeed saw the photo of the woman getting off at Yudu Dragon Bay. Excited, she exclaimed, “Cheaters will eventually be cheated on!! Haha, I can’t wait to see Li Lingyang’s face when he finds out his beloved woman is cheating. But who is that man?”
“We don’t know yet; I only bumped into Shen Jiangqing. I’ll hire a private detective later to track and investigate. To catch a cheater, we must catch both and not give Shen Jiangqing another chance to bite back.” Ning Yichu vowed. She knew tonight’s events must be related to Shen Jiangqing without any investigation.
It was time for a fierce counterattack!
Although Fan Yuke wasn’t doing that well in the entertainment industry, she still had a wide network, “Leave hiring the private detective to me!”
“Alright.”
“Haha, I’m really so excited. Shen Jiangqing actually betrayed Li Lingyang?” she said. Then, bumping Ning Yichu’s elbow with a sly smile, she added, “Is it possible that Li Lingyang has… some hidden illness, which is why Shen Jiangqing went out to cheat?”
Ning Yichu rolled her eyes, “How would I know?”
“What the heck, aren’t we besties! Come on, share with me…”
Ning Yichu was truly afraid she would teach the kids bad things. Fortunately, the doors and windows of the children’s bedroom were tightly closed, and the little girl shouldn’t be able to hear, so she whispered, “My encounters with Li Lingyang were all under abnormal circumstances, you’re asking me, but who should I ask…”
“I get it, Li Lingyang really is sick, no wonder Shen Jiangqing is unsatisfied.” Fan Yuke analyzed earnestly.
Ning Yichu just wanted to shut her up!
The next day, the news that the pieces by the contestants in the heritage competition had been auctioned off for a sky-high price of sixty million swiftly went viral.
Many people were astonished, was jade carving really so valuable?
But upon clicking into the article, they would realize that this set was beautifully crafted from all angles, truly made by hand, and the Hetian jade itself was already quite valuable, enough to prove its worth.
Various headlines and discussions sparked overwhelming attention on the internet.
This included vivid narrations of the scene where the president of Li Group and Beiji’s Mr. Mo, the two great male gods, both bid lavishly for this set of works.
The second-place gold awardee’s piece was only auctioned for a price of five million, a huge difference.
Seeing this, the organizers were very pleased.
Now with the topic and popularity, the follow-up broadcast of the program would have viewers, so they deliberately posted a tweet.
“Congratulations to the grand prize winner of this competition, @Ning Chu, as well as to @Ji Shiwang, @Little Kitty Eats Fish, and @Wei NanNanNan for winning the gold, silver, and bronze prizes, respectively. The jade carving industry in Huaxia shines brighter because of your presence.”
Not long after, Beiji, the Ji Family and several competitors also reposted the Weibo message.
The Weibo account belonging to Ning Yichu used to record daily life, but later it became verified as the author of “Those Years When My Ex-Husband Was Inadequate.” Suddenly, readers’ comments started to heat up.
The number of comments surged, all expressing shock. What kind of hidden gem of an author have I been following?
Tired of writing, she just casually took the jade carving world by storm?
Others asked why the book wasn’t available at major publishers.
This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.
A comment from a secondary account replied that it was banned.
Readers widely discussed why it had been banned, and upon digging deeper, some uncovered that it was Li Group who had implemented the ban. They even bought up all the copies because the president of Li Group was Ning Yichu’s ex-husband. Although several years had passed, the internet never forgets. Given Ning Yichu’s current popularity and last night’s drama, it was all too easy to lock onto the past relationship between Li Lingyang and Ning Yichu.
A batch of onlookers quickly rushed to Li Group’s official Weibo, bombarding it with mentions and comments about the ex-husband and ex-wife, asking for an explanation.
Was President Li truly not up to par?
Having an affair with a mistress, betraying his first wife, how could Li Group tolerate such a morally corrupt scoundrel as their president?
In the president’s office at Li Group, Li Lingyang had just finished handling documents when an internal call from Special Assistant Xu came through. “President Li, last night’s matter has been leaked, and public opinion is fermenting.”
After listening to Special Assistant Xu recount the events, Li Lingyang responded coolly, “Notify the PR department to completely dissociate Li Group and Ning Yichu, especially, I don’t want to hear the words ‘ex-wife’ and ‘ex-husband’ again!”
Through the handset, Special Assistant Xu could feel a piercing chill, it seemed that last night’s incident with Mo Baiyou taking Ning Yichu away had quite the impact on President Li.
“It looks like someone is deliberately manipulating public opinion, attacking you for divorcing over Miss Shen. Should I have someone draft a statement that explains your marriage to Lady Ning wasn’t voluntary…”
After all, Ning Yichu’s book had once been a worldwide bestseller, with countless translated versions still circulating.
This was going to affect President Li’s reputation badly.
Li Lingyang immediately dismissed the idea without a second thought, his voice cold and dominant, “Don’t bother, responding to it would only give marketing accounts a topic and attention, and it might even blow up further. Just find a few entertainment gossip hotspots to divert netizens’ attention. It’ll blow over in a few days.”
Special Assistant Xu really wanted to ask, are you truly not afraid of dragging Lady Ning through the mud?
After hanging up the phone, Li Lingyang sat in silence for a while, staring at the dense black text in front of him but finding it difficult to continue reading, feeling extremely irritable.
Why, even now, was he still unwilling to drag Ning Yichu down with him to clear his own name?
Special Assistant Xu reached out to the PR department, searched for gossip about entertainment heavyweights but, coincidentally, there didn’t seem to be any major scandals recently.
You could fabricate rumors about one or two celebrities, but you couldn’t just make up stories about everyone, could you?
Special Assistant Xu was considering whether to ask Young Master Mu for some juicier scandals.
Like which female star was being kept by a magnate again, or which pop king was gay and also taking drugs…
“Special Assistant Xu, there’s a piece of news here that might take some heat off, have a look.” At that moment, the PR manager handed over a tablet.
Special Assistant Xu took one look and derisively said, “It’s just a theme park that set off fireworks for an hour. What’s so captivating about that?”
