Chapter 135 - Why Did I Marry Such a Dumb Woman?
The window slid open, revealing Mu Yichen’s handsome face.
Luo Chenxi widened her eyes. “Mu… Mu Yichen!”
He frowned and said impatiently, “What are you daydreaming about? Get in the car now!”
Luo Chenxi quickly walked to the other side of the car. She entered and sat on the passenger seat.
As soon as she sat down, the car took off.
Luo Chenxi tilted her head and looked at the man beside her.
The side profile of his face was as perfect as a sculpture. His back was straight and his slender fingers rested on the steering wheel.
The man revealed an elegant and noble temperament even when he was driving.
“Why are you here?” Luo Chenxi blinked and asked in confusion.
Mu Yichen did not even look at her and continued looking ahead, “Tang Tang kept asking for you to go home and have dinner with her. I happened to be in the neighborhood, so I decided to stop by and pick you up. Don’t think too much of it, I didn’t come here to specifically pick you up on purpose.”
“Oh…”
Luo Chenxi nodded. For some reason, she felt a little upset at his words.
However, when she thought of Tang Tang, she started becoming anxious again. “Mu Yichen, drive faster! Tang Tang is still waiting for us at home. It’s already so late, so she must be starving!”
Mu Yichen’s face clearly darkened a little.
‘This woman… Why does she only have Tang Tang in her heart?’
Luo Chenxi spoke again, “Oh, right, Mu Yichen, you are the one who invited Director Yu from Bao Shi jewelry just now, right? You really saved me back there! Thank you!”
Even without the help of the genuine bracelet, she could have still pulled herself out of that situation by leading the police officers to unmask the truth on her own.
Of course, it definitely would not have been as easy as it was.
In the event where Wu Lingshan’s attempt at feigning the bracelet genuinity succeeded, many people would naturally stand on Wu Lingshan’s side, so no matter how Luo Chenxi tried to explain, they would not have believed her.
“But, how did you know about the slander? I don’t think I told you about it.” Luo Chenxi was puzzled.
Mu Yichen’s expression lightened up a lot when she said thank you.
He turned his head slightly and his gaze fell onto Luo Chenxi’s fair and tender cheeks. He replied with his thin lips, “Woman, do you take me for a fool like you? You got dragged into a post on Weibo and a bunch of keyboard warriors flamed you to oblivion, some of them even threatened to kill you. Yet you know nothing of it, why did I end up marrying such a dumb woman like you?”
“Ah, right, Weibo!”
Luo Chenxi suddenly remembered that Wu Lingshan had also posted on Weibo.
She was so occupied back there that she did not even have the time to check it out, so she knew nothing about the story revolving around the Weibo post.
Luo Chenxi quickly took out her cell phone from her handbag and opened the Weibo post to take a look. Wu Lingshan’s Weibo was still on hot searches.
Wu Lingshan only posted two photos. One of them was a photo showing the effects of the set of clothes with the bracelet worn on the mannequin during the exhibition, the other one was a picture without the bracelet after it disappeared from being stolen.
The post also had attached captions. “I didn’t expect to lose my favorite bracelet during my participation in the Huafeng Competition. If it really cannot be found, I sincerely hope that its new owner will take good care of it. @Light of Dawn Xing Chen”
Wu Lingshan had up to millions of followers on Weibo, and she was one of the most popular fashion trendsetters at the moment.
As soon as her Weibo post was posted, it immediately attracted the attention of countless netizens.
She deliberately made her words ambiguous, leaving room for her fans to make all sorts of guesses about the incident. Up until someone asked, “Did the bracelet get stolen?”, she replied with a crying emote.
With this, the comment section exploded.
“That’s a global limited edition Bao Shi jewelry! That b*tch does have good eyes for things, she targetted the most expensive item and stole it!”
“Our dear Lingshan is too kind hearted, she’s not even blaming that b*tch for the matter! In my opinion, a person like this b*tch should be arrested and put behind bars!”
“How is being put behind bars enough as punishment? How can there be such a shameless person? Just sell herself if she wants the jewelry so badly! How dare she steal instead?”
“Sell herself? Can someone like her even sell for seven million? Does she really take the rich for fools?”
There were all sorts of comments. Some people even found Luo Chenxi’s Weibo through Wu Lingshan’s tag on her post. The fans swarmed her account and flamed her.
There were already thousands of comments under Luo Chenxi’s latest Weibo post. All of them were flames and curses directed at her family.
Luo Chenxi’s mouth twitched.
As a law-abiding citizen, this was the first time she experienced the terror of cyber violence.
Although she knew that these people were just being fooled by Wu Lingshan, she still felt very depressed.
“Well? Do you need a hand for this matter?” Mu Yichen suddenly asked.
