The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife-Chapter 129: Gossip, Intrigue, and a Blurring Line
Chapter 129: Gossip, Intrigue, and a Blurring Line
Fang Liucheng held a respectable position in A City; he was a public heartthrob, a dashing young man. He had always been free of scandals, except for recent rumors with Han Bi, which even led the media to speculate if Fang Liucheng and Han Bi were getting together.
No one expected Wen Nuan to suddenly appear on the scene.
Anning Entertainment News was particularly amusing. While other outlets were reporting a sensational love triangle involving Lin Ning, Fang Liucheng, and Wen Nuan, fiercely criticizing Wen Nuan as promiscuous and a temptress, Anning International focused squarely on Fang Liucheng.
Their newspaper headlined the rumors between Fang Liucheng and Han Bi, then added Wen Nuan, turning it into a classic scenario of **Fang Liucheng two-timing, with a rookie challenging a superstar**.
This kind of newspaper scandal not only diverted public attention away from Wen Nuan but also created a confrontational dynamic between Han Bi and Wen Nuan, giving the impression of **two women vying for one man**.
Wen Nuan’s status, after all, couldn’t be compared to Han Bi’s, but putting them together like this made people pay more attention to her, which also helped to **increase Wen Nuan’s visibility**.
In short, the recent hot topics in A City all revolved around **Young Master Ye Er, Wen Nuan, Han Bi, Lin Ning, and Fang Liucheng**, with the rumors becoming increasingly outlandish.
"Greenlight Daily" broke an exclusive story: **Wen Nuan and Fang Liucheng were actually a couple**. It also dug up Wen Nuan’s family background and revealed their childhood sweetheart relationship. Many of Wen Nuan’s old classmates came forward as witnesses, all stating that Wen Nuan and Fang Liucheng were a pair.
This was the last entertainment report to come out.
"Greenlight Daily" was the most effective gossip entertainment newspaper in the country at digging up celebrity private lives. Its boss specifically established a gossip entertainment department solely for unearthing celebrity secrets.
With this revelation, **Wen Nuan and Fang Liucheng’s relationship suddenly became legitimate**.
Those who had been cursing Wen Nuan as a "temptress" just that morning were shocked again just a few hours later.
Oh, so they were actually boyfriend and girlfriend.
Thus, superstar Han Bi became the **"other woman" who stole love**, Fang Liucheng was caught **cheating**, and Wen Nuan launched her counterattack. This scandal was like a triple wave, with each layer offering good drama, leaving people overwhelmed.
"Temptress theory," "conspiracy theory," "promiscuity theory"—all sorts of narratives emerged.
It was exceptionally lively.
Wen Nuan’s parents also saw the newspaper and called Wen Nuan. Cai Xiaojing answered the phone. Wen Nuan was currently filming. The morning entertainment reports hadn’t reached the set yet. Upon hearing the news, Cai Xiaojing quickly went online.
Seeing the online reports, she was dumbfounded.
The photo clearly showed Wen Nuan; blurry as it was, the clothes were definitely hers, and the kiss... Good heavens, the angle was captured too perfectly. Fang Liucheng’s lips were pressed against Wen Nuan’s.
Wen Nuan’s expression wasn’t clear, but it certainly looked like a kissing scene.
"That damn girl!" Which reporter was so good at digging up news that they stumbled upon this stroke of luck? Wen Nuan had another scandal added to her list. Cai Xiaojing rubbed her forehead with a headache. If the person she was managing wasn’t Wen Nuan, she wouldn’t care about such a scandal. The more rumors, the more famous they’d become—no big deal.
But this was Wen Nuan.
Being Wen Nuan made all the difference.
Ye Feimo would kill someone.
During Wen Nuan’s break, Cai Xiaojing pulled her aside. "Look at you, what good news has come out now?"
Wen Nuan didn’t care about her own scandals at all, but seeing this one online, her heart still pounded a bit. She had initially thought, judging by Cai Xiaojing’s expression, that the news of her and Ye Feimo by the Huaijiang River had broken. She never expected it to be about her and Fang Liucheng.
Wen Nuan looked at the photo of the two kissing and immediately grew angry. "The paparazzi are too malicious! It’s not like that at all. How did this photo get taken like this?"
Fang Liucheng had leaned in to kiss her, and she had clearly dodged, so how did it still look like a kiss?
This was clearly a photo taken from the side, just like staged kisses in films; in reality, Fang Liucheng hadn’t actually kissed her. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
If it were rumors about her and Ye Feimo, Wen Nuan might not have been angry, as she had indeed done something. But with Fang Liucheng, there was absolutely no such thing. Cai Xiaojing told her that her father had called.
To prevent her father from worrying, Wen Nuan immediately called back. "Dad, don’t worry, it’s not like that at all. The newspapers are just writing nonsense. Nothing happened between Brother Liucheng and me. I met him yesterday to discuss business."
"Is it really business?"
"Yes, and besides, Brother Liucheng also apologized to me. I don’t want to bring up the past again, and I can tell he’s sincere. Oh, and he also returned our house deed. I’ll bring it back to you after filming tonight."
Wen Nuan’s father was very surprised, not expecting Fang Liucheng to put aside past grievances and actually return their house.
"Are you telling the truth? He wouldn’t be playing hard to get, trying to hurt you again, would he?" Wen Nuan’s father was still a little worried about Wen Nuan. Wen Nuan’s heart warmed, and she said with a smile, "Dad, don’t worry, nothing like that. Besides, I don’t have those thoughts right now. My career is my priority. Don’t fret. That’s all for now, I’m quite busy. I’ll talk to you tonight." Wen Nuan smiled as she hung up the phone, letting out a long sigh of relief. It was truly exhausting.
Cai Xiaojing pursed her lips. "President Ye must know about this news by now. You’d better brace yourself."
Wen Nuan thought of the warmth of last night, then stuck out her tongue. She really hadn’t done it on purpose. Ye Feimo wouldn’t actually skin her, would he? Wen Nuan teared up, but had no time to think further as the assistant director called her to the set again.
During their lunch break, Cai Xiaojing and Wen Nuan ate together, feeling as though everyone in the crew was looking at them with a hint of malice, pointing and whispering. Wen Nuan knew in her heart that they must have heard about her scandal.
While the crew knew that the news about her and Lin Ning was fake, the paparazzi had captured clear photos of her and Fang Liucheng. To them, it looked like a kiss.
Zhuo Bingbing had initially thought Wen Nuan and Ye Feimo had a deep relationship. That day, he had carried Wen Nuan away, and Wen Nuan was also filming an Anning Jewelry advertisement. Everyone could guess that Wen Nuan had some connection to Anning International’s higher-ups.
But who knew she was actually Fang Liucheng’s girlfriend?
Chen Hang, who liked Wen Nuan, was very uncomfortable after seeing the scandal. This time was completely different from the incident with Lin Ning; this one was too convincing, and "Greenlight Daily" had exposed everything about Wen Nuan and Fang Liucheng.
In their eyes, it was an undeniable fact.
Lin Xueru had no particular thoughts, quietly sitting by the side without saying anything.
The crew members had varying reactions.
Zhuo Bingbing was the first to ask, "Wen Nuan, is what the newspaper says true? Are you and Young Master Fang boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Wen Nuan smiled and shook her head. "The newspapers are writing nonsense. There’s no such thing."
