Chapter 873: The Exposed Scandal

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Did I use too much vinegar in my cooking tonight? Why do I smell something so sour?” Wen Chi teased, even pretending to sniff the air.

“Annoying.” Gu Huanhuan knew that he was making fun of her. He always said the same thing.

“I’m going to further my studies. I’ll be busy with academic matters, so I won’t have time to spare. Besides, I’m not interested in blond beauties. My loyalty is to you and no one else, my dear.” Wen Chi’s words seemed to have had the desired effect, reassuring Gu Huanhuan.

Gu Huanhuan nodded her head in satisfaction. As they were about to part ways, even if only for a while, they treasured their time together. After all, it would probably be a month before they would see each other again.

The trending searches for the past two days were all about Wen Chi and Gu Huanhuan’s marriage. They thought it would last a few more days; they did not expect news about Susie to appear.

Susie was exposed as someone who had meddled in another’s marriage, and there was even photographic evidence to substantiate it. It could not have been easy to obtain such proof.

It was a shock to them. While rumors about Susie had always been around, no one had managed to unearth evidence of her misdemeanors, so she was left unchecked.

But this time, there was photographic evidence, and it even showed her holding a married man’s hand.

It was really like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. Once the photo was released, comments flooded Susie’s Weibo, attacking her character. The onslaught was so great that Susie had to deactivate the comments function.

Susie stayed at home and did not dare to go out. Her eyes were glazed over as she stared at her phone.

The only thought playing on repeat in her mind was that her acting career was over.

She had considered breaking off their relationship earlier, but he had always been very physical. Susie had met Mr. Wang a while ago and developed a relationship with him.

Yet, now, something like that has surfaced.

As the saying goes, if you don’t want others to discover your mischief, don’t do anything that would lead others to believe you’d be capable of such a thing.

Susie paced around the house anxiously, unable to do anything.

She called her manager to discuss how the company would manage the fallout. Perhaps they would be willing to offer a press statement explaining the picture as a misunderstanding.

However, the company’s higher-ups concluded that it would be unfeasible given that the man was married, and the picture showed the two holding hands in a high-end residential area at night. If they were to say it was a misunderstanding, wouldn’t they be insulting the public’s intelligence?

Furthermore, this was not the first of such incidents. Following the red carpet fiasco, Susie’s acting career was as good as dead. Why would the company invest in someone doomed to fail? The company’s attitude was clear; they were not about to save an artiste like Susie, who was about to go under.

When Gu Huanhuan saw the report, she could not believe her eyes. Susie’s hard work and dedication were traits even she admired. Although she often spoke without a filter and her words were often harsh, she had the right to do so as she could back up her words. Gu Huanhuan never expected Susie to be caught in the crossfire of a scandal. It was a pity.

When Sister Gao called her, her tone was also quite regretful.

After such an incident, Susie’s career was over. She had only herself to blame.

The good news was that, following this incident, Gu Huanhuan’s media presence decreased.

“Honestly, it’s such a shame that your husband isn’t in the entertainment industry.” Sister Gao brought up such an overused topic that it was almost cliché in Gu Huanhuan’s ears.

Gu Huanhuan rolled her eyes and said, “My husband won’t enter the entertainment industry. Besides, he likes his job as a doctor.”

“Is he there? Have you asked him?” Sister Gao joked.

“Him? He’s gone abroad to study and attend a few conferences,” Gu Huanhuan said proudly. Although she was not a top student, her husband was. That was enough.

“Is that so? That’s awesome! Your husband is so young yet so accomplished at his age. His future is limitless. You should work hard, or you might end up holding him back,” Sister Gao reminded.

“I know, dearest Sister Gao,” Gu Huanhuan giggled coquettishly.
