Chapter 248 – Should we make a wager? (3)

Lu Xun looked at Lin Yiyi cautiously and wanted to express his innocence. “I felt that the article was quite well written.”

Lin Yiyi was stroking the flower petals.

Hearing him, she glanced over at him casually and said, “It is quite good.”

It wasn’t everyday when one could turn scandalous news into a novella!

Feeling the encouragement, Lu Xun went on excitedly, “If that’s the case, should I go and confirm… ahem, clarify the truth?”

Truth was, he did not want to clarify anything at all. Thank you!

But it had already been bubbling away for the entire morning.

After such a long time, he figured anyone who should know would know, as well as those who should not, would have heard about it by now.

Even if they had it removed now, it wouldn’t have too much effect!

Lin Yiyi finally looked over at the man.

That was right. That was the real reason she had asked him to come over.

And she was almost distracted by the flowers!

“Everybody was very curious about this news right now, which was why it made the most trending list.” Lin Yiyi sounded very rational. “Those with their heads on their shoulders would know that it wasn’t true. Untruthful news like this will go away over time on their own and people will see the truth then.”

She wasn’t worried about scandals like these at all.

First of all, neither her or Lu Xun were popstars…

In addition, he was single and she was divorced; there was no cheating or affairs involved here.

Which was why she wasn’t too worried when she saw the news first thing in the morning.

She wasn’t nervous but Boss Lu was!

Right now, listening to Lin Yiyi throwing around terms like “untruthful” here and “fake” there, he had a strong urge to jump onto Weibo and confirm all of them!

When he had slipped earlier, he had said exactly what was going on in his mind!

Lin Yiyi, on the other hand, was obviously to Boss Lu, who looked as if he was being treated unfairly.

Her chin resting on her palm, she carried on, “The best way to counter scandals is to do the exact opposite. Take Zhang Xiying and Yu Yi as an example. One of them quit the production team and the other immediately started filming with the team. The two were never in contact privately again and that was how the scandal went away on its own. As such, there is no need to make a point of clarifying it. Besides, just because you speak up doesn’t mean others will necessarily believe in what you’ve said.”

She wasn’t wrong.

Boss Lu scratched the corner of the table with an unhappy look.

“You really want to clarify our relationship so badly?”

Lin Yiyi was taken aback a little, and she looked over at Lu Xun.

“It was you who said that even if I said it, it doesn’t mean others will believe in what I have to say.” The elite-looking man in his custom-fitted suit was looking straight at her. “Should we make a wager?”

This seemed somewhat familiar…

Why did she have a bad feeling all of a sudden?

Lin Yiyi couldn’t help but sit up straight and looked at him questioningly.

She noticed that Boss Lu had already fished out his cellphone and clicked open a certain application.

After a little while, on Shengshi Entertainment’s official weibo account, a news was announced:

[Hi everyone. This is Lu Xun. Thank you all for your concerns. I would like to clarify here that Lin Yiyi and I are, indeed, a couple. @Lin Yiyi]
