It’s not that Shen Yi was jealous of the sudden rumor connecting Su Qing with Wen Nanqing, after all, one is an internet celebrity and the other is an ordinary person. Even if there are rumors, it doesn’t really matter, since neither of them relies on fame to make a living.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have thought of shifting the blame to drag Tang Nan into this situation.
The main reason was due to Wen Nanqing’s family background. As Wen Nanqing’s friends, they naturally knew her circumstances.
With the Wen Family reaching their current status, what they care about is reputation. Money doesn’t matter much, but they can’t let people of the same status look down on them.
If other entrepreneurs see that the Wen Family has a daughter getting into rumors with a web star, or exposing herself online, they would naturally think that the family is not stable.
This is also why, despite the landlady having a top-notch figure and appearance, she never appears in his videos.
Tang Nan has had her share of attention thanks to Su Qing, and even Shen Yi has shown a side face in his videos, but Wen Nanqing stays clear of such appearances.
It’s not that she’s not confident in her figure or looks, it’s mainly because she’s afraid that people in the know would say she’s exposing herself online, unstable, and lowering her status.
Knowing this situation, after finding out about this matter, Shen Yi approached Tang Nan to discuss a strategy.
This issue is neither big nor small, and it’s easy for them to solve. It’s just a matter of guiding public opinion, which can be done with money.
And Tang Nan was the best candidate since she’s a famous actress in the entertainment circle, having had rumors before. Just a little bit of guidance, and the issue would be resolved.
Otherwise, Shen Yi wouldn’t have said, "You’re getting a good deal," because for Tang Nan, this was also a chance to gain more attention.
Midday, downstairs in the community.
"Woof woof woof~~ woo woo" [Woohoo~~ nothing can~~ stop~~ oh crap!]
Da Huang was running wildly on a small square in the community, stepping on the snow, nearly a match for his distant cousin, the silly one.
Rolling crazily in the snow, it seemed he unlocked some special bloodline.
But just as he was rolling freely, a little girl tripped him with a sweeping leg, causing him to eat a mouthful of snow, looking quite embarrassed.
The little girl, Wen Yun, was bundled tightly with a little Cinnamon Roll hat, small gloves, and her little red face rolling in the snow with Da Huang.
Seeing himself at a disadvantage, Da Huang immediately turned his back to Wen Yun, and began fiercely pawing at the snow to retaliate, making the little girl scream in glee, neither one nor the dog giving any ground.
Next to them, Su Qing and Wen Nanqing stood side by side watching the scene. To an uninformed bystander, they might really look like a couple. One had to admit, they matched well, like a perfect picture.
Seeing her daughter so happy, the landlady also laughed, enjoying this kind of atmosphere.
Moreover, she wouldn’t stop her daughter from playing such games. Kids being mischievous is just in their nature. Is it better to send them to cram schools and hobby classes all the time?
When she grows up to inherit the family fortune, students from Tsinghua and Peking University would work for her. As long as her studies aren’t too bad, mediocrity is fine. At least she can’t be illiterate.
But Su Qing, on the side, was actually feeling a little embarrassed, especially with their rumor still trending online. Though they both clearly knew the truth, and their hearts were at ease, as a man who already had someone, he was feeling somewhat awkward.
In the middle of the day, the landlady proactively called him, asking him to bring Da Huang down because Xiao Yun wanted to play in the snow, which led to today’s meeting.
"Uh... Sister Wen, is this... alright?" Su Qing pointed at the scene in front of them and asked.
At that moment, in front of them, Da Huang had the little girl pinned to the ground, looking as proud as if he had won a battle, extremely audacious.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing chuckled, "It’s fine. Why are you concerned about them? Children fighting, the parents shouldn’t intervene!"
Su Qing: ...
You really have a contractual spirit.
"Look, watch how they switch from offense to defense!" the landlady pointed ahead and laughed.
Just then, the little girl turned the tables, hugged Da Huang’s two legs, and toppled him to the ground, then executed a Mount Tai press to cement her victory.
"Do you yield?"
"Woof" [I yield]
"Speak up!"
"Woof woof woof" [I already said I yield, don’t you understand dog language!]
In any case, the person and the dog were totally not on the same wavelength, but they still managed to communicate without barriers.
"By the way, Sister Wen, about, um, the online stuff, I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. I’m sorry, how about I go and explain? I don’t dare to rashly delete the video now!" Thinking it over, Su Qing still felt he should clear things up, otherwise it was too uncomfortable.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to remedy the situation, but he didn’t know where to start. If he deleted the video, wouldn’t that be admitting guilt?
Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing smiled and shook her head, "It’s okay. To be honest, I’m the one benefitting from this. Out of nowhere, I got a man, plus I was the one who asked you to go take the pictures. How can I blame you for this? But don’t worry, there’s someone more anxious than us about this. She’ll handle it."
At this, Su Qing was taken aback: "You mean... Xiao Yi?"
"Who else? If the official girlfriend isn’t worried, why should I be? I won’t meddle!" Wen Nanqing said calmly.
She was so calm because the two of them had talked in the morning. Though she knew what was going on, that didn’t stop her from teasing.
Rewind to two hours earlier.
"Sister Qing, don’t worry, I’ll solve this quickly. I’ve already found a way. Sorry, it’s all his fault for sending that video. When I get back, I’ll make it up to you," Shen Yi said in the video, apologizing and assuring she’d handle it, fearing that Wen Nanqing might be upset.
Honestly, if it wasn’t for her own situation, she wouldn’t care at all—in fact, she found it rather amusing.
"Who said I’m angry? It couldn’t be that someone’s jealous, right?"
Faced with Shen Yi’s words, she directly teased back.
"Sister Qing~~ I’m not!"
"Not? Then why are you in such a hurry to clarify? Still say you don’t care? Don’t worry—I’m just borrowing your man for a couple of days, won’t damage him, and definitely won’t keep him, hee hee!"
