After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 225 - Chapter 225 Chapter 225 Young Master Mus Rumored Girlfriend

Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Young Master Mu’s Rumored Girlfriend Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Young Master Mu’s Rumored Girlfriend “President Li, this afternoon when our people were about to make a move on the Ji Family, we discovered that someone had beaten us to it,”

and they had intercepted several orders. Now the Ji Family is probably having a hard time internally.

“Do you know who it was?” Li Lingyang slightly furrowed his brow, his presence exuding a powerful aura.

Special Assistant Xu replied truthfully, “Our people are investigating now, and we should have news by tomorrow morning if nothing unexpected happens.”

Li Lingyang’s deep eyes surged with suspicion, his mind already forming a list, with Mo Baiyou at the very top, since his feelings for Ning Yichu were well known to everyone.

He went downstairs to the clubhouse’s main hall and, just by chance, bumped into Li Jingtian coming out from another end of the courtyard pathway.

The air around suddenly tensed, and he took the initiative to greet him, “Big brother, what a coincidence, you’re here too?”

A turbulent undercurrent flickered through Li Lingyang’s eyes as he said coolly, “What, you can be here but I can’t?”

“What are you talking about?” Li Jingtian, hands stuffed in his pockets, responded nonchalantly, “But I heard Miss Ji from the Ji Family has been targeting your future sister-in-law. You’re not in a rush to comfort her but have time to drink here, which is quite surprising.”

“But don’t be anxious, I’ve already taken care of pressing the Ji Family for you, and they have promised never to bring up the matter again, ensuring your future sister-in-law’s reputation remains untarnished…”

Although Li Lingyang and Li Jingtian were brothers, their relationship was quite ordinary, even antagonistic.

He never expected that the pressure on the Ji Family had been his doing…

Li Lingyang gave him a meaningful look, “I remember you were supportive of me marrying Shen Jiangqing before, but now the wind has changed direction quite quickly.”

Li Jingtian smirked, “Wasn’t it that dad and big mom both liked her at the time? As an illegitimate son with no power, I had no choice but to go with the flow.”

…

In the following days, Ning Yichu didn’t go to the company but followed the doctor’s advice to rest at home.

Bored, she was browsing her phone when she saw a marketing account spreading rumors about Mu Bailang and Fan Yuke, with the headline blaring–

“Young Master Mu has a new love interest? How long can the C-list actress Fan Yuke last?”

There wasn’t even a single photo in the article, but it vividly described how Fan Yuke was being kept by Mu Bailang, and her association allowed her access to better resources.

Knowing the truth, Ning Yichu was furious and immediately reported the post.

But it didn’t help much; a bunch of brainless fans believed it, pushing the topic to trending.

Fan Yuke even made it to a small trending search, under the hashtag #Young Master Mu’s New Rumored Girlfriend#!

Netizens, with a popcorn-eating mentality, started discussing it.

“No wonder Fan Yuke has had more appearances recently, turns out she’s hooked up with Young Master Mu?”

“Counting this, she’s just his thirty-third rumored girlfriend, wonder if she can last a month this time?”

“I used to really like her looks, didn’t expect she’d fall this low, it’s really a pity!”

“Of course, she could make money lying down, why should she bother working hard? This world has always mocked the poor not the prostitutes, especially in the entertainment industry…”

“Fan Yuke was originally a glamor star, what she’s doing now isn’t surprising at all.”

“…”

Ning Yichu was furious as she read, but she thought that Fan Yuke, being the person involved, must be feeling even worse.

So she quickly made a call to check on her.

However, this time Fan Yuke was extremely calm, even comforting her in return.

“Chu Chu, you know how those keyboard warriors are, a little led by marketing accounts and they turn brainless. I’m used to it by now, and besides, infamy is still fame; the higher my popularity, the more my worth!”

Ning Yichu felt something was off, her frown deepening, “Yuke, are you really okay?”

“Girl, I’ve been in the entertainment industry for a while, I’ve seen bigger storms than this. This little thing isn’t worth worrying about. I’ve got some work to do, so let’s not talk for now.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Fan Yuke’s expression suddenly grew somber, putting on sunglasses and a mask before stepping out.

Funny, the hot search topic, how could she not care!

She had said that just now simply to keep her best friend from worrying…

Fan Yuke decided to solve it by herself, driving straight to Mu Bailang’s company.

Since that last incident, she had not seen Mu Bailang again.

But for some unknown reason, he had bought out her talent agency, and her contract naturally transferred to Shengshi.

Moreover, Shengshi had thrown many resources her way to support her.

Knowing that she used to be a C-list actress who only got supporting roles, stepping into a leading role suddenly was bound to raise doubts.

After making it onto the trending searches today, Fan Yuke couldn’t take it anymore…

No, she must disentangle herself from this man.

But his phone went unanswered.

With no other option left, Fan Yuke decided to go to his company herself.

As soon as she arrived in the underground parking lot, she spotted Mu Bailang’s Porsche driving in.

After all, in Imperial City, who else would ostentatiously use such an eye-catching number sequence…

With the parking lot nearly deserted at this hour, Fan Yuke didn’t need to mind anything, walking straight over and knocking on the rear car window.

Knock, knock, knock.

“Mu Bailang, get out here…”

However, there was no response from inside.

Fan Yuke’s blood pressure soared, and she simply yelled, “Mu Bailang, get out of the car quick, I have something to talk to you about.”

“Let’s be adults here, I seriously didn’t take that night to heart, nor do I need any resource compensation from you. Take it all back and clear my name with the media, from now on we walk separate paths, with no dealings whatsoever.”

“I’m not some gold-digging internet celebrity you met out there; I can live on my own efforts, I don’t give a damn about your dirty money!”

Finally, after she had said her piece, the black car window slowly rolled down.

But the person inside… was not Mu Bailang!

It was a sixty-year-old lady, dressed in a teal cheongsam, paired with an ivory white pearl necklace, her greying hair meticulously combed without a strand out of place, her skin well-maintained, barely showing signs of age.

This person was none other than Mu Bailang’s grandmother, Old Mrs. Mu.

She had also seen the rumors spreading online today and was annoyed that Mu Bailang, being a grown man, was still entangled with some nondescript small-time star, so she had come to the company to find him.

Instead of meeting Mu Bailang, she first encountered the woman rumored to be involved… Fan Yuke!

Old Mrs. Mu thought about the conversation she had just heard and couldn’t help but size her up more interestedly.

This girl, not quite what she had imagined…
