After wiping his hands with a damp towel, Lu Zhao embraced Luo Ying.

After that, he gave the tablet she was holding a backward swipe. “He is only ten years older than me, but in reality, he is Old Master Lu’s younger brother. He’s the illegitimate son of the previous generation’s Lu family head. But he had better luck than most. His mother was indebted to the Shen family, and the Shen family had always protected him. Once Old Master Lu had his name removed from the tree, the Shens took him in.

Luo Ying lowered her head to take a look. Sure enough, the information clearly stated: Shen Xiu’s original name was Lu Xiu.

“What a small world!” Luo Ying exclaimed.

After this revelation, two days later, Chi Tong sent a message saying that Shen Lan wanted to visit. Luo Ying only hesitated for a moment and agreed.

After learning the truth, she had gained a good opinion of Shen Xiu, who could make Old Master Lu so angry. She also gained some respect for the Shen family, who had the courage to take Shen Xiu in despite Old Master Lu’s threat. As a result, she decided to give Shen Lan a second chance.

Luo Ying and Du Tian were participating in a TV variety show to promote a new drama. The two of them shared a dressing room. Du Tian’s makeup was done. Luo Ying was still acting as Zhang Yue’s living canvas.

There were already a lot of people in the dressing room, so Luo Ying did not feel awkward telling her that Shen Lan had arrived.

It caused a frown to form on Du Tian’s face. “Is she coming over to visit us? Aren’t you afraid that she’s up to something?”

She was just having a little fun with a boy toy. She had been most unhappy with the baggage that this latest toy brought. She had immediately burned bridges with Zhou Li after the scene. Why was Shen Lan still approaching them?

“From what Chi Tong has said, she seems to be quite sincere. Maybe she is here to say sorry.” Luo Ying was not concerned. “After all, if she wants to start a fight, she does not need to seek my consent. So I figured, why don’t we just get it all out into the open?”

If Shen Lan was truly up to no good, she would personally handle her.

“That’s true,” Du Tian agreed. “I’m sorry you got caught up in it.”

“Sister Du Tian, if you feel bad about it, please treat me to afternoon tea today!” With a grin on her face, Luo Ying offered Du Tian an exit.

In her opinion, Du Tian had not done any wrong. It was simply an unpleasant gathering with an unfortunate encounter.

“No problem!” Du Tian agreed readily.

However, Wang Yu quietly passed over a phone not long after Luo Ying finished speaking. It featured news about the entertainment industry.

[There is more exciting news from Luo Ying’s production crew. Du Tian got involved with a second-generation heir!!! How interesting! ]

[Why is it the same production crew again? This is really getting stale for me. Why do other production companies boast about the script and performances, while this weird bunch only has such bizarre events to show for themselves?]

[Why is it Luo Ying again? Do they have nothing better to report? What are they filming, a movie or a reality show?]

[Last time, it wasn’t about feelings. Last time, it was about the legal system, haha.]

[What is a Du Tian?]

[Why are actresses always getting tangled up with the elite? Aren’t they afraid of being burned?]

[Why are you bringing Luo Ying up? What does Du Tian have to do with Luo Ying?]

[Wait a minute. Everyone knows that Luo Ying is still in a relationship with a certain CEO after the divorce, right?]

[Luo Ying is friends with Du Tian. Doesn’t that explain everything?]

[Are you sure they’re friends? This matter has nothing to do with Luo Ying. You guys are really working hard to rope Luo Ying into this. Otherwise, the news is not going to gain any traction, right?]

This announcement came from a prominent account in the entertainment business and had already made its way to a limited region.

The attached photos were nothing more than photos of Shen Lan and Zhou Li on a date, as well as photos of Du Tian walking.

In a mix of half-truths and twisted lies, a narrative had been constructed.

Allegedly, Du Tian and Zhou Li were together during the time that Shen Lan and Zhou Li were dating.

Even Du Tian’s assistant had to come in and deliver the same news. Du Tian’s expression turned dark upon reading the heading. “That Shen Lan! I knew she was up to no good!”

Luo Ying immediately called Chi Tong. “Chi Tong, take down the news as soon as possible and check the source.”

Chi Tong immediately took action.

Luo Ying was deep in thought after hanging up. On one hand, Shen Lan contacted her to say that she wanted to visit her at work, and on the other hand, she had posted a press release that slandered Du Tian. Wasn’t this contradictory?

Someone had clearly manipulated the earlier comments. Why was every arrow being pointed at her?

Would this be Shen Lan’s doing?

“Knock, knock!” Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the dressing room.

Everyone was startled.

The door was pushed open. Shen Lan held a big bouquet of flowers and stuck her head in with a smile.. “Good afternoon, everyone!”
