Chapter 85: Scumbag

"No need, thank you for your kindness, President Gu."

She reached out to hail a cab.

But it was quite difficult to get a taxi at this hour; several taxis passed by, but none were empty.

Gu Yunting had also driven his car over, and from inside the car, he called out to her: "Bai Shunan, get in!"

Bai Shunan rolled her eyes at him, then turned her head and walked away, not caring for him in the slightest.

There was a subway station two thousand meters ahead; she would just go take the subway.

Gu Yunting hurriedly got out of the car.

He quickly caught up to her and grabbed her hand: "Bai Shunan, what is this supposed to mean? I kindly wanted to drive you home, and you don't even appreciate it?"

Bai Shunan shook off his hand: "President Gu, don't go pulling and tugging here. You are a public figure now; be careful of being filmed and put on the internet. You might not care, but Mo Wanqing certainly does. Don't let someone like me affect you."

"What kind of person did you say you are?" Gu Yunting asked, squinting.

Bai Shunan gave a cold laugh: "In your eyes, aren't I just the type who wants to climb the social ladder? I'll tell you the truth: a playboy like you is someone I really don't look up to. Who would care to be your Madam Gu?"

Gu Yunting stood in place for a few seconds, then ran forward again; he soon caught up to her again beside a small tree.

He grabbed her, pulled her into his embrace, and then kissed her recklessly.

Bai Shunan was startled by this sudden kiss; she pushed him away with all her might: "Gu Yunting, what are you doing?"

Gu Yunting ignored her and continued to kiss her.

Bai Shunan used her high heel to stomp hard on the top of his foot; he felt the pain, immediately recoiled, and shouted while clutching his foot: "Bai Shunan, are you, are you really this heartless?"

Bai Shunan was still not satisfied; she stepped forward and smashed him a few times with her handbag, "I'll teach you to molest me, I'll teach you to molest me!"

Pedestrians on the side of the road saw this and watched with curiosity as this beautiful woman beat this handsome man in the middle of the street.

Judging by their appearance, they were surely a match made in heaven, but looking at their status, was this man's status too low?

Bai Shunan seemed to want to vent the failure of this evening on Gu Yunting; after hitting him for a while, she said coldly: "President Gu, you and I have no connection at all now, and I am no longer your employee. Don't pester me again, and don't make me look down on you!"

Gu Yunting sat on the ground, stunned, watching Bai Shunan's retreating back.

Someone posted the video of him getting beaten online, and this immediately stirred up a huge wave.

"Isn't this Gu Yunting?"

"Didn't he show off his love with his girlfriend on New Year's Day?"

"Found someone else so soon?"

"This one is even prettier, just looking at her back, she seems to have a great figure."

"..."

Gu Yunting's video hit the trending searches.

The manager notified Mo Wanqing; Mo Wanqing watched it and felt both heartbroken and angry. Didn't Gu Yunting say he loved her? Why was he still entangled with another woman?

The manager reminded Mo Wanqing: "Wanqing, why don't you respond on Weibo? The buzz is just right now; if you respond, you can definitely ride this wave of popularity."

"Then... what should I reply?" Mo Wanqing asked.

Mo Wanqing's team immediately held an emergency meeting, discussed it for an hour, and had Mo Wanqing reply: I believe in Yunting; he would not do anything to let me down.

In this way, Mo Wanqing could build a "beautiful, strong, and miserable" persona, and later, when she went on variety shows, she could use these topics for marketing.

Shortly after Mo Wanqing responded, Gu Yunting's side also sent someone to respond: Mr. Gu Yunting has already broken up with Ms. Mo.

Mo Wanqing's team was stunned for a moment.

Mo Wanqing couldn't sit still either; she hurriedly called Gu Yunting, and of course, she didn't forget to record it.

"Yunting, what is going on with your people? Have we broken up? How come I don't know about it?"

There was silence on the other end for a while, then Gu Yunting spoke: "Wanqing, let's break up. Don't contact me in the future. Just treat me as a scumbag; you can expose the recording if you want."

"Yunting..." At that moment, Mo Wanqing panicked.

For so many years, it was always she who brought up breaking up with him, but this time, he was the one who brought it up first.

Every time she brought up breaking up first, he would always chase her back. Now that he was the one bringing up the breakup, could they still go back to the past?

She hurriedly called back, but no one answered anymore.

The manager came over and asked her: "Wanqing, what did President Gu say?"

"He said he wants to break up with me," Mo Wanqing said with a pale face.

"I see..." The manager felt sorry for Mo Wanqing for a moment, then said: "Then did you record it? If you did, then this recording is very useful. You were the one dumped, and the public will mostly sympathize with you for that."

"Stop talking!" Mo Wanqing felt a wave of irritation and yelled at the manager.

She and Gu Yunting had known each other since they were children; he was like her number one sycophant, obedient to her every whim. She had never cherished him before, but now that he said he wanted to break up, she panicked.

The manager was too afraid to speak for a moment after being yelled at and had to wait on the side.

After waiting for a while, Mo Wanqing seemed to have calmed down; she handed her phone to the manager and said: "The recording is inside, you all can do whatever you want with it."

That night, because of a short essay from Mo Wanqing's side, Gu Yunting went from being a number one sycophant to earning the title of a scumbag rich second generation.

However, this buzz did not last long; netizens just treated it as a scandalous affair.

Gu Yunting was a rich second generation and was handsome; how could someone like that not be unfaithful?

As for Mo Wanqing, she was also a rich second generation herself, with a wealthy family background. Not many people sympathized with her playing the victim online; netizens all said this was not something people with a monthly salary of 3,500 should worry about.

Plus, in the early hours of the morning, the entertainment industry broke news of another scandal involving popular actors, so Mo Wanqing's matter immediately sank into the sea, and no one paid attention to it anymore.

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Bai Shuruo finally took the initiative to contact Han Yangting.

It was mainly because he had been gone for a long time, and the two had not been in contact; Bai Shuruo was even wondering if he had another home in Beishi. Maybe he even had children.

So she sent a message asking: 【Brother Han, are you coming back to Fengcheng for the New Year?】

When she sent the message, Han Yangting was in a meeting.

There were over thirty people sitting in the conference room, and he himself was in the middle of speaking. As soon as the message arrived, he stopped, used facial recognition to unlock the phone, and saw it was from Bai Shuruo; his face, which had been as stern as a King of Hell's, actually revealed a smile.

Not caring about these thirty-some people anymore, he started chatting on WeChat right under everyone's gaze: 【Ruoruo, are you coming to Beishi? We talked about it before, come and meet my family. If you're coming, I'll book your flight.】

Bai Shuruo: 【Sure, is it okay if I come over on the 20th? I still have some tasks here.】

Han Yangting: 【That project from before?】

Bai Shuruo: 【It's my sister's company. By the way, I've already resigned; I'm not at CG anymore. My sister opened a company, and I'm going over to help her with design.】

Han Yangting: 【What company?】

Bai Shuruo: 【New energy vehicles.】

Han Yangting: 【Why would she want to do that? Can she handle that field?】

Bai Shuruo: 【I don't know either, but as her younger sister, I have to believe in her.】

Han Yangting: 【Let's talk when we meet, I'm in the middle of a meeting.】

Bai Shuruo: 【Alright, Brother Han.】

Han Yangting finished chatting and only then set his phone aside.

He looked up and saw thirty-some heads below staring at him in unison.

He said indifferently: "Sorry, my lovely wife just messaged me. Let's continue now, where were we?"

Su Shan came over to remind him: "We were at the key markets for next year."

"Alright, then let's start over from there..."
