Chapter 35: Lin Yeman's Confidence

Hearing these words from Shen Huai.

Li Xinran's pupils suddenly constricted.

Afraid?

Of course she was afraid.

But now that public opinion had already formed a storm, there was simply no room left for her to choose.

If she publicly denied that her boyfriend was the only son of the Shen Family, then her future would be completely ruined! "Afraid? Of course I'm afraid."

Li Xinran's voice also sank: "But things have reached this point, I have no other choice."

"Since I have already tacitly acknowledged my relationship with the Shen Family's only son to Team Leader Tong, I absolutely cannot let go."

"If this is Lin Yeman's tactic, then she must have a backup plan; as an artist, I only need to cooperate."

Li Xinran changed the subject, raised an eyebrow and said: "An excellent ex should be just like a dead person, understand?"

"Keep that mouth of yours shut, and make sure you don't let anything slip."

"You didn't expose me on the spot, so you and I are already grasshoppers on the same line; if something happens to me, public opinion won't let you off either."

Li Xinran's tone carried a certain threat.

However, upon hearing this, Shen Huai let out a cold snort, his expression blooming with a hint of playfulness: "Indeed, an ex who wants to save face shouldn't think about using their ex to wipe their own ass when trouble arises."

"……You!" Li Xinran's face turned red with anger in an instant.

"What are you two doing?"

A voice as cold as frost suddenly came from behind.

It turned out that Lin Yeman was already standing behind them, though no one knew when she had arrived.

The moment Shen Huai turned around, Lin Yeman's originally indifferent expression instantly transformed into a gentle, shallow smile.

"An ex meeting an ex, and you can still chat so heatedly?" Lin Yeman teased with a smile, her gaze playfully sizing Shen Huai up.

"……Sister Lin."

Seeing Lin Yeman, Li Xinran immediately put away her anger, instantly changing into a well-behaved and pure appearance.

"Team Leader Tong has been busy running around for your sake, yet you're here chatting with a handsome guy without bringing me along."

Lin Yeman said with a light laugh while walking nonchalantly between Li Xinran and Shen Huai.

Following that, Lin Yeman extremely naturally linked her arm with Shen Huai's: "Let's go, let's go see if your team leader needs any help."

"Lest she say again that our Artist Management Department only knows how to claim credit."

"……"

Li Xinran walked silently behind.

Her gaze stared straight at the two people in front who were being extremely ambiguous, and she felt very uncomfortable inside.

That anger had already turned into a belly full of stifled frustration.

It was enough to make one want to burst out and curse.

This feeling of being stifled actually made even Li Xinran herself feel surprised.

Although she and Shen Huai had already broken up.

But seeing her ex-boyfriend with her own eyes, arm-in-arm with a woman whose appearance was no match for her own, swaying back and forth in front of her.

Li Xinran unexpectedly felt a sense of inexplicable inferiority arise from thin air.

She admitted that she was a bit jealous.

Feeling the gaze from behind that seemed as if it wanted to see right through him.

Shen Huai straightened his back somewhat unnaturally.

As for looks.

Lin Yeman was a quintessential, stunning beauty with striking features; even Li Xinran, who was voted the school beauty every year, had to admit defeat in the face of Lin Yeman's heaven-defying beauty.

To be honest, even if Lin Yeman didn't work behind the scenes and chose to be an artist, she would absolutely be someone who could become incredibly famous.

As for ability.

Lin Yeman's methods were smooth yet ruthless; every move was caught off guard, causing her opponents to fall into chaos.

Just like this sudden appearance of the Shen Family.

Only she could think of such a damaging trick of fighting poison with poison.

It was just that Shen Huai really wanted to ask her, where exactly did those photos come from?

And what was her plan for the next steps? ……

When Lin Yeman forcefully linked her arm with Shen Huai's and walked into the Group 2 office.

Tong Yue's expression turned completely black, like the bottom of a pot.

"Team Leader Lin, what are you here for?"

Tong Yue's gaze stared fixedly at the hand Lin Yeman had linked with Shen Huai, as if her eyes were about to spew fire the next second: "Team Leader Lin, this is a company, please do not harass, my, as, sis, tant."

For the last four words, Tong Yue was almost gritting her teeth, emphasizing every single one.

"Alright, Team Leader Tong really is as unable to take a joke as ever, so distant."

Lin Yeman chuckled and pulled her hand out from Shen Huai's arm, looking at Tong Yue with great interest: "The lawyer's letter, did you have them send it?"

"Yes, so what." Tong Yue was expressionless.

"A lawyer's letter alone is not enough."

Lin Yeman smiled, her jade-like fingers hooking lightly toward Shen Huai: "Check your inbox."

"My inbox?"

Shen Huai was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked to the computer to open the company email. Only then did he discover that an anonymous letter was lying in the inbox, containing a compressed file.

After decompressing it, he discovered it was a photo of them kissing!

"This... what is this?"

Shen Huai rubbed his eyes, almost thinking his vision had blurred.

In the photo, a man's figure was slightly turned, his back to the camera as he lowered his head, gently pinching a girl's chin.

And the girl's expression was one of comfort and intoxication, as if she were trying her best to welcome this kiss.

The background behind the two was a street filled with the lively, bustling atmosphere of local snack stalls.

Compared to the blurry, indistinct silhouettes from the leaker, this photo was simply much higher definition.

Although, the boy's face in the photo could not be seen clearly either.

Yet, one could feel the overwhelming scent of hormones through the photo.

Shen Huai was stunned.

He had a deep impression of this photo.

It wasn't photoshopped; it was a real image.

He remembered it was when he was out at the snack street with Li Xinran.

On a whim, he had wrapped his arm around Li Xinran's waist and lowered his head to kiss her.

But he hadn't expected.

This scene had been captured by Li Xinran's roommate.

Yet he clearly remembered that Li Xinran's first reaction after being photographed wasn't shyness, but anger.

She had rushed over to her roommate.

Without a word, she made her delete the photo, and even said that without her permission, she couldn't take pictures of her casually in the future.

At the time, Li Xinran's attitude was very firm.

Since everyone was in the same dormitory, the atmosphere had become very awkward for a while.

Shen Huai had watched Li Xinran press the delete button on this photo himself.

But now, it had actually been resurrected? "Does this photo look familiar?"

Watching Shen Huai's stunned expression, Lin Yeman looked deeply at Li Xinran.

Glared at by Lin Yeman like this, Li Xinran immediately lowered her head in guilt, her face turning bright red.

This photo was one she had secretly saved from her roommate's phone.

To avoid attracting attention, she had uploaded this photo to a cloud drive and set it to "private/only visible to me."

But she hadn't expected that Lin Yeman would actually dig it out.

After signing with Star Shine, the first procedure was to hand over the account passwords for all social media platforms.

Presumably, that was when Lin Yeman discovered it.

But... if that were really the case.

Li Xinran's heart suddenly tightened.

That would mean.

She had told Lin Yeman that she had never been in a relationship, and Lin Yeman had known she was lying from the very beginning.

What kind of social death scene was this?!

Li Xinran's expression turned pale and then green, looking extremely embarrassed.

Lin Yeman only glanced at Li Xinran once, then turned her head to instruct Yu Xiang: "Yu Xiang, sync this photo to all of Li Xinran's social media accounts."

"If you dare to touch my artist, I will make sure she can never recover."

Lin Yeman said this in a soft, slow tone, but the words she spoke made everyone shudder!

"Understood." Yu Xiang nodded and immediately took over Shen Huai's computer to operate it.

"This leaker, is it you?"

Seeing the photo, Tong Yue immediately realized.

"That's right, it is me."

Lin Yeman turned to look at Tong Yue, her tone flippant: "There's no need for thanks, just don't let the public opinion spiral out of control again."

"Hmph, you really are self-righteous."

Knowing who the culprit was, Tong Yue's tone was even colder than before: "Do you know the consequences of trying to pull a stunt on the Shen Group?"

"Just because that legendary Heir of the Shen Family never appears in public, you write such nonsense."

"If he comes out to deny this matter, with the influence of the Shen Family in China, let alone Li Xinran's career being ruined, even the entire company will be cursed along with her!"

Hearing this.

Lin Yeman raised her eyebrows dismissively: "Do you think I'm not aware of these things?"

"I dare to write this because I naturally have my own confidence."

Confidence?

Shen Huai's heart trembled violently.

Could it be that Lin Yeman actually knows that he is the only son of the Shen Family? I've caught a cold, my head is splitting, and I'm typing while on an IV drip; I've even moved myself to tears. In return for my hard work, can I get some monthly votes~ ps: Everyone must wear masks recently, don't be like me and not listen to advice, sigh.

pss: Which ex-girlfriend do you all like more? You can tell me in the comments section~(End of chapter)
