Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn

Chapter 232: Are you jealous of a dead person too?

Chapter 232: Are you jealous of a dead person too?

“What should I do now?”

“Let your team handle the investigation. As for online matters, you can choose not to respond, but you must not lie,” Shi Lan warned, “once it’s confirmed by others, in the eyes of the public, it will no longer just be a simple matter of self-disrespect, although, in my opinion, it’s none of their business.”

Chen Beini nodded repeatedly, genuinely feeling that her significant other was indeed very irritable today.

“Did you hear that?” Chen Beini said to her assistant, “Do as my husband suggested.”

“I’ll call the company now.” The assistant, holding a cellphone, hurried off.

“I’ve been telling you to speak up, but you kept stalling. Are you happy now that it’s all over the internet? I really don’t know what you use your mouth for,” Shi Lan scolded Chen Beini again using the word “you” in a generalizing way.

Gu Chengyu saw the online messages and walked towards the pair with some uncertainty, taking advantage of the afternoon break to ask Chen Beini, “Can we talk?”

“It’s all rumors online,” Chen Beini replied impatiently.

Upon hearing this, Shi Lan immediately pushed her head, “Try spreading another rumor, see what happens?”

Chen Beini: “…”

“Move over there,” Gu Chengyu stepped back two steps, making space for Chen Beini.

Taking a deep breath and putting down her handheld fan, Chen Beini rose from her chair and followed Gu Chengyu into a nearby grove.

“What do you want to say?”

Gu Chengyu looked at Chen Beini, fell silent for a few seconds, and then solemnly apologized, “I’m sorry.”

“Apologies are meaningless, I don’t even know myself… even if I knew, I wouldn’t want it,” Chen Beini answered unnaturally, “I used to be able to scold you for being a jerk, but now it seems pointless to say those things.”

“I called my mom and she said miscarriages are very harmful to a woman’s health, so I will try my best to make up for the harm I’ve caused you. Nini, you used to be very happy, but you’ve been talking less lately, I know it’s all because of me. I will take responsibility and not let you get hurt again. I do not ask for your forgiveness, only that you accept my compensation,” after saying this, Gu Chengyu turned his head and walked out of the grove.

Chen Beini also returned to her chair, feigning composure.

In the afternoon, Gu Chengyu had an assistant bring her chicken soup, said to be brewed by his mother and very beneficial for recovery. But since his mother knew nobody wanted to see her, she didn’t come over to bother, only hoping that Chen Beini would take good care of herself.

Chen Beini opened the thermos and knew from the aroma that it was made with care.

“Reluctantly accept it, just reluctantly!”

Meanwhile, the internet was still busily debating whether she had had a miscarriage, with gossip accounts heatedly discussing it.

@User89321: “If she wasn’t miscarrying, wouldn’t Chen Beini’s team have released a medical report to clarify the facts?”

@Lightweight: “Deserved. Lack of self-respect is asking for it.”

@FullMoonMissingPerson: “This is awkward, the National Couple is basically broken up.”

The comments were filled with malice, to them a girl having a miscarriage was an excuse to indulge in sensational fantasies, especially regarding the showbiz industry, where they typically claimed, “the entertainment circle is really messy.”

Seeing Chen Beini endure such malicious speculations and attacks, Gu Chengyu, who had sworn to keep a low profile, finally went online on Weibo, taking responsibility.

@GuChengyu: “I opened a Weibo for you to scold, but please don’t attack @ChenBeini, she has not acted without self-respect. Please allow artists some private space; we can also get sick and be hospitalized. I once thought I wore a crown, but I now deeply understand that I am not as noble as a woman in many aspects. Don’t harbor so much malice towards them, because most of the time, men make the mistakes, we just aren’t willing to admit it.”

This post by Gu Chengyu struck a chord of anger among the male losers, each of them fiercely blasting his Weibo comments.

However, he successfully diverted the attention away from Chen Beini.

Under such circumstances, passersby were even more baffled. Wasn’t it said that the National Couple had already broken up?

Why then had Gu Chengyu stepped forward now?

…

When the evening filming session ended, Chen Beini’s team had an answer about the source of the leaks.

“Didn’t you refuse to collaborate with a newcomer a few days ago? It seems he’s actually in a real relationship with another top young actress, possibly out of vengeance, trying to swap you out for his girlfriend,” Chen Beini’s assistant explained. “By the way, this top young actress is about to be announced as the spokesperson for ‘Demon’s March.'”

After hearing this, Chen Beini and Shi Lan rolled their eyes.

“Can’t accept losing, can they? Didn’t I suggest to the big-money sponsors they could replace both me and Gu Chengyu? It was the sponsors who didn’t want to change personnel, so why blame me?” Chen Beini exploded. “And the spokesperson for ‘Demon’s March’? Just hearing about that game disgusts me; they’ve been quite pleased trampling down on my couple lately, haven’t they?”

“They won’t be pleased tomorrow,” Shi Lan said meaningfully.

Having said this, Shi Lan packed up her things and got up.

“Honey, where are you going?”

“To handle some personal matters,” Shi Lan said very coldly, then took Sun Ling back to the hotel, prepared to go out and catch someone.

The whole day, her phone was silent, not a single WeChat message, and of course, no calls either.

So what was this person planning to do?

Pretend to be deaf and continue the silence, or just never contact again?

“Boss, just tell me, what are you really thinking?” Sun Ling was really worried.

“Let’s meet someone first.” Shi Lan changed her clothes and took Sun Ling to Duan Langxi’s private clinic.

At that time, Duan Langxi was no longer seeing patients and had Shi Lan make an appointment. However, Shi Lan simply told the receptionist, “An old friend of Shi Lan, I have a few questions to ask him.”

The receptionist went inside to convey the message, then led Shi Lan in: “Miss, please come in.”

It had been a long time since Shi Lan had seen Duan Langxi. Since she had gotten involved with Yan Shixiu, her visits to this psychologist had been few and far between, but she always felt this old friend could help clear up some of her doubts.

Shi Lan entered Duan Langxi’s office as if she knew the way well, where the decor was as tacky as it had been for a decade.

Duan Langxi was organizing patient files, looked up at Shi Lan, and frowned, “Miss, it seems we haven’t met before? I also don’t recall Shi Lan having a friend like you?”

Shi Lan sat down in front of his desk and then said, “The new girlfriend of Yan Shixiu.”

After hearing this, Duan Langxi couldn’t help but laugh, “Yan’s new girlfriend, why come to me?”

“Did Yan Shixiu come to you to ask about his late wife?”

Duan Langxi thought, the way this person speaks, why does it sound so much like that person?

So arrogant, uncaring of others’ feelings.

“He came twice, why? Jealous of the dead too?”

You’re the one who’s dead, Shi Lan thought.

“What questions did he ask?”
