Chapter 40: The Ex-Girlfriend of a Wealthy Young Man (40)

Lu Qi had no idea how she’d left Chen Yuesheng’s office. At the moment, her mind was entirely occupied with just one thought: Tang Guo was going to release a record.

Why?

Lu Qi clenched her fists tightly and pursed her lips.

Tang Guo didn’t have a superior family background. And though she had also graduated from a conservatory of music, she wasn’t as good-looking as Lu Qi, and her singing career hadn’t taken off from a better starting point either. But now, she was advancing further and further ahead, and she was always a notch better than Lu Qi in everything she did.

Her heart had long been filled with jealousy. Before, she had still been able to conceal it, but now, it was totally out of control.

If this went on, the public would only like to compare her to Tang Guo more and more.

If she couldn’t surpass Tang Guo, then she would always live under Tang Guo’s shadow for as long as she was in the same circle as her, without the chance to turn the tables.

Lu Qi finally couldn’t take it anymore. She took out her phone, tapped on the screen to open a newsgroup, and in small, fine font, spread a false rumor about Tang Guo.

“XXX Guo does anything to get to the top, even going as far as to use a senior executive in the music industry.”

The moment she posted this message, the group was in an uproar, and everyone started asking for specifics. Seeing how outraged everyone in the group was by her post, Lu Qi felt the corners of her mouth lift into a small smile. There was quite a handful of people in this group that were a part of the same circle.

Lu Qi also uploaded a photo that she had secretly snapped of Tang Guo and Chen Yeusheng together. She had taken the picture in such a way as to make it seem as if Tang Guo and Chen Yuesheng were in an intimate relationship.

After posting the photo, she deleted what she’d typed in fine print and even left the group.

“Leng Rui, Guo Tang really is a genius, a genius in the music industry.”

Leng Rui listened to Chen Yuesheng’s words of praise for Tang Guo over the phone and, without him realizing it, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.

“You certainly recommended a treasure to me.”

“Let’s have a meal together someday. I have to thank you properly.”

Leng Rui cast a glance at Tang Guo, whose eyes were fixed on the television to the side, and casually responded to Chen Yuesheng. After hanging up the phone, his gaze remained fixed on Tang Guo.

“Are you suddenly interested in me?” Tang Guo leaned closer to Leng Rui and hugged his arm very naturally as she asked, “Hmm?”

The tone of the woman’s light humming was undoubtedly very alluring.

Leng Rui pinched Tang Guo’s chin, and his eyes narrowed dangerously. “How did you know that I’m closely acquainted with Chen Yuesheng?”

This woman had come up with a step-by-step plan to make him interested in her, and she seemed to know his weakness. The moment he heard that Chen Yuesheng was going to help this woman release a record, he knew that all of this was part of her plan.

It seemed that she meticulously planned every step she took.

Not many people knew about his relationship with Chen Yuesheng, so how did she find out about it?

“What else do you have up your sleeve that I don’t know about yet?” Leng Rui really wanted to unearth all her secrets.

Even though she had plotted against him over and over again, he wasn’t the least bit angry. It had been such a long time since he’d met such an opponent. She had succeeded in plotting against him, time and time again, and had succeeded in using him, time and time again.

But once he had learned all her secrets, he would throw her to the sharks.

“You’re really not a man who knows how to show tenderness and compassion to women,” Tang Guo said as she propped her chin on her hands. “Any other man would definitely have naughty thoughts in his mind right now, but you, deep down in your heart, you’re thinking about how you’ll throw me to the sharks one fine day, aren’t you?”

[Host, why is it that even when you’re using other people, you can still feel so at ease?] The System couldn’t help but speak up. [Your actions and behavior really make you seem like a vicious supporting actress, but no vicious supporting actresses have ever succeeded. And yet, how are you always able to succeed?]

[And, Host, why do you want to attract Chen Yuesheng’s attention?] The System was shouting out its questions in a rage. [Don’t you know that Chen Yuesheng is very important to the female lead?]
