Addicted to My Contract-Marriage Husband
Chapter 236: Strike Again

Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Strike Again

Just when the online public opinion had started to shift for the better, a new hot search suddenly surged—

#XiaShengSon#

"What the fuck? Seeing this entry I can hardly believe it’s about the Xia Sheng I know."

"I thought it was some kind of prank."

"How could this be, wuu wuu wuu, my unattainable crush, the son doesn’t look young at all."

"What unattainable crush, he’s long been someone else’s."

Someone online suddenly exposed that Xia Sheng had given birth to a son abroad, who was now already 3 years old.

This was followed by a series of her dark pasts and acting critiques from overseas.

This completely pushed Jiang Mian’s trending search to the bottom as everyone’s focus shifted here.

The most fatal blow was regarding Xia Sheng’s background—she had never been the daughter of a wealthy family; she was just a poor student sponsored by the Fu Family, who leapt several social classes with their help.

The reason for her departure abroad was also to escape her birth family.

"I’m shocked, this is the real deal."

"The reading volume’s too high, too real; my heart can’t handle the roller coaster."

"In the end, the unattainable crush is nothing, huh."

"My youth, fed to the dogs."

Jiang Mian’s red lips curved slightly at the speed of the unfolding events.

There was no need to make a phone call, Fu Sichen’s efficiency was indeed impressive.

Buzz buzz—

Her phone vibrated a few times.

A few anonymous text messages with no caller ID.

Just by reading the content, Jiang Mian could already guess who it was.

"Jiang Mian, why? By what right! Apart from your background, you have nothing. Could you have married Fu Sichen if it were not for your family? Was your marriage merely an alliance?!

"And here I’ve been working so hard, barely able to reach his social status. Now? It’s all been ruined by you, and my poor son; I hate you!"

Jiang Mian deleted the messages and blocked the sender without a moment’s hesitation.

Keeping junk messages was disrespectful to the phone itself.

He Lei gave the entire crew the day off today, ostensibly because "the progress is too fast, we can take it easy."

In reality, he probably reckoned that everyone would be too busy gossiping today.

Jiang Mian also received a message from Director He.

Director He: "How about an interview with our lead actress, how much insider info can you spill?"

???

Excuse me???

Director He was somewhat polite, but not by much.

Since when did he become so gossipy!!

Aren’t you a renowned director?!!

He Lei: "I’m getting old, looking for some fun. You young folks talk gossip without including me, I can’t keep up."

Jiang Xiaomian: "I am a victim..."

He Lei: "You think I believe that?"

Whispers of Jiang Mian’s uncanny incidents had circulated a bit in the circle, and he had caught wind of some rumors.

Yet, having dealt with her, it didn’t seem she had any powerful support; he had never seen it.

But he couldn’t believe her constant good fortune was just a matter of luck.

He believed in science.

Jiang Mian didn’t reply to Director He and gladly went about her free time.

Unexpectedly, another big event broke the next day, and Director He directly cornered Jiang Mian on set.

"You should have told me before you pulled off something big, you know how much money I’ve lost this morning?"

What??

Jiang Mian was utterly bewildered, having just woken up.

"The Ye Family, their stocks crashed this morning, and I had just bought them recently; it killed me."

So what?

Jiang Mian frowned slightly: "How should I know?"

"This has definitely something to do with you, an old man’s intuition."

"Pfft—"

Old man’s intuition now?

Jiang Mian surrendered with both hands: "Really, look at me. I only found out because you told me. If I were that powerful, would I still be here? I’d have gone to play the stock market, making and losing millions in minutes."

"How could it be the Ye Family? I’ve inquired already, President Fu’s stepmother is from the Ye Family; no matter what, with the backing of Fu’s corporation, it should be stable."

Hearing this, Jiang Mian laughed out loud, speaking earnestly: "Since when did President Fu acknowledge that?"

"..."

That seemed to be true.
