498: Chapter 498: Smart Calculation?
Don’t Think About Tricking !
Fengling was taken aback!
The sudden bad news instantly dissipated her good mood like smoke in the wind.
One minute ago.
She was driving while chatting with Wu Jie through the phone.
Compared to the second-hand dostic BMW 3 Series she drove before, the Maserati Presidente she drove now felt much more comfortable and handy.
But now.
All that filled her mind was the threat and intimidation from the paparazzi in the entertainnt circle just monts ago.
Obviously!
Her trip to the international auto show today had been tailed by paparazzi.
But why would they claim she was stealing soone’s love?
Was it because she asked Wu Jie how to use various technological functions in the car while driving?
To the average person, such normal interactions wouldn’t prove anything even if they were caught on cara.
But…
Fengling was no average person!
With her big na and many fans, if they misunderstood that she was involved with the married Wu Jie, it would be a disaster for her reputation.
Therefore!
Fengling instinctively felt that this incident couldn’t be exposed.
Otherwise, the damage to her would be enormous, and it would also be a big blow to Wu Jie.
And Wu Jie, with his powerful background and connections, would surely have a way to settle such a trivial matter!
Determined, Fengling imdiately sent a ssage and spoke to Wu Jie via voice ssage,
“It’s bad, Mr.
Wu, we were followed by paparazzi today, and I just received a threatening phone call…”
Fengling spoke succinctly, quickly repeating the issue.
After Wu Jie heard it, he laughed in surprise and said,
“It’s a good thing!
Don’t many of your entertainnt industry stars wish to be exposed?
So even deliberately create scandals to do so.
So, why are you panicking?
Isn’t it the perfect opportunity to promote your new film by sparking a topic of debate?”
In his words, Wu Jie didn’t view the situation as a problem; instead, he found it amusing.
Fengling was montarily speechless.
Looking at Wu Jie’s Audi S8 in front of her, she wished she could speed up to catch him and stop him to ask what exactly he was thinking.
Taking a deep breath, Fengling interrogated,
“Mr.
Wu!
Do you still think this is a good thing?”
“Such scandal being exposed is extrely detrintal to my public image, and it will label as ‘the other woman’.”
“By then, I will probably be cursed like a dog, lose all my fans, and see my career as an artist end!”
“And you’re getting married to President Tang tomorrow.
Do you really want to go into that marriage with the stigma of being unfaithful?”
“So, this is not a good thing at all; it’s a bad thing!”
Wu Jie chuckled lightly.
“What’s there to panic about?
Tell , do we have a real romance or any ambiguity between us?”
Fengling shook her head and replied, “Of course not!
We’re clear as crystal, even whiter than white paper!”
Wu Jie then asked, “When we were talking in the car and trying out various tech configurations, did we do anything excessive?”
Fengling answered, “Absolutely not!
At most, our hands touched.”
Wu Jie laughed and said, “That’s right then!
Since we are so innocent, what are you afraid of?
Even if I’m not afraid of the tigress at ho, you shouldn’t worry about it.
Justice will prevail!”
Fengling rolled her eyes.
“Mr.
Wu, my dear Mr.
Wu!”
“Even if we just walk together, we’re easily criticized, prompting countless wicked speculations and malicious estimations!”
“Nowadays, those gossip website editors and self-dia authors start with a single photo, and the rest is up to their imagination!”
“Whatever makes the story sensational and grabs eyeballs, they just fabricate wildly, completely disregarding right or wrong, regardless of the actual truth!”
Wu Jie countered, “So what do you suggest we do?”
Fengling hurriedly said, “This kind of paparazzi that captures celebrities’ privacy to extort money or sell to other dia is very common in the entertainnt industry.
And the paparazzi extorting must have been following for a long ti.
Not giving him hundreds of thousands will not be enough.”
Wu Jie sneered, “What the fuck!
Soone dares to blackmail ?”
“Exactly!
This guy is really asking for trouble, daring to offend you!”
Fengling subconsciously complinted him in a roundabout way.
But…
Wu Jie knew very clearly.
Fengling was particularly concerned about fa and advantage and couldn’t afford to lose.
Telling him all this was clearly an indication she wanted him to handle it directly.
Either pull so strings or pay off, but without a doubt, Fengling was counting on Wu Jie to take care of it!
Too shrewd!
However…
Fengling could never imagine that Wu Jie was actually eager for the scandal to be exposed.
Why?
Because once exposed, it would undoubtedly quickly beco a hot topic and spread like wildfire on the internet!
Originally, Wu Jie, as a poor loser, who pulled off a reverse victory by marrying a “Fair-skinned, Rich and Beautiful” lady president, was enough to make others envy, jealous, and hateful.
If the eve of his marriage was clouded with a scandal involving superstar Fengling, true or false, it was bound to cause a stir!
Gosh!
Wu Jie didn’t even dare to imagine how many people would verbally assault him, furiously condemning him.
Labels like scum man, heartbreaker, cold-hearted fellow…
By then, it wouldn’t just be about envy or jealousy, but the much more potent emotion of ‘hatred’.
Therefore.
What was Wu Jie afraid of?
With Tang Xiao’s intelligence, she must have known that the scandal was fake.
Wu Jie didn’t even need to explain himself, much less be suspected by his family.
On the contrary, he could earn a good number of energy points, so why not do it?
As for Bai Fengling’s reputation…
What the hell does that have to do with !
Calculating every move, you want to use , and yet I’m not allowed to take my revenge?
In Liuli City, Wu Jie helped Bai Fengling to break free from the Xu Family’s controlling grasp.
Back in Tianyuan, Wu Jie helped her and her father settle down.
When her mother and brother “morally blackmailed” her, threatening her with family ties, Wu Jie helped to broadcast it to the public, allowing her to profit both in fa and wealth.
Buying a house and settling down, Wu Jie got her a discount.
When she had no film offers, Wu Jie reorganized Wang Taixiong’s Great Tang Culture dia and gave her plenty of face, yet she decided to play the opposite role.
Considering she pleaded with Tang Xiao on his behalf, and considering she had made a hit app, Wu Jie let it slide.
But after that, Wu Jie no longer felt at ease.
So when he lent her fifty million to start her company, he secured it with a mortgage on a property.
We’re even, with no financial strings attached, still able to be friends.
But today…
You’re screwing over again!
Set your sights on an Audi S8, and you fight to have it!
I switch to Maserati, and you want to change too!
Now there’s a bad scandal about to be exposed, one that might affect your reputation…
And you want to smooth it over!
Please!
Am I so kind of ssiah, or your godfather, Bai Fengling?
Just because you’re pretty, have a good figure, and are famous, should I help you out every ti?
Who the hell are you to ?
My wife?
Lover?
Backup?
If at most you’re just a normal friend, then why should I help you after you’ve screwed over?
Helping you not only brings no benefits, but it also makes lose out on earning energy points!
Am I full and idle?
Or did I take the wrong dication?
So…
Wu Jie simply kept his silence.
After Bai Fengling buttered him up and waited a while, she received no response from Wu Jie.
“Mr.
Wu?
Jie?”
“What are you doing?”
Wu Jie hesitated for a mont, then said with a smile:
“I’m sending ssages to soone else!
Oh right, send that paparazzo’s number!”
No sooner had he spoken than Bai Fengling hurriedly said:
“Alright, alright!
I’ll copy it and text it to you right now!”
Wu Jie quickly said, “No rush!
I’m driving right now, send it when I’m stopped at the red light ahead!”
“Sure thing!
There’s still several minutes left of the ten-minute deadline they gave anyway!”
Bai Fengling’s voice was no longer tense and anxious.
Certainly!
She fully believed that Wu Jie was genuinely working on getting the issue resolved.
Little did she know that Wu Jie hasn’t done a thing.
He couldn’t wait for the news to break sooner.
Asking for her to send the number was just to make the act more convincing, otherwise how could he make Bai Fengling utterly convinced?
After all, she’s a big star with impressive acting skills.
If he doesn’t make it believable, would she buy it?
Soon!
The light turned red at the intersection ahead.
As both cars ca to a stop, one behind the other, Bai Fengling quickly sent over the paparazzo’s number.
Wu Jie saw it but remained unmoved.
In fact!
He had no idea whom in the entertainnt industry would be the right person to contact for this.
The movie mogul Wang Taixiong?
Too bad the guy, along with Huang Siwei, had long since been thrown behind bars, so what was the use in contacting him?
Xu Jiahao from Xu dia in Liuli City?
The Xu family, probably frantic because Xu Kuishan and his son were seriously injured, would love to see Bai Fengling beco infamous and scandal-ridden!
Besides those two, Wu Jie didn’t know any other big shots in the entertainnt industry, nor did he know the small fish!
So…
Smooth things over?
How would I do that?
Why would I want to smooth things over?
“I’ve seen the number.
I’ll find soone right now!”
With that, Wu Jie broke off the voice connection with an awkward laugh.
As for finding soone, what’s the rush?
