[That’s right, surely this isn’t real. Zhang Lingling is a little taller than the girl in the video. Obviously it can’t be her.]

[Definitely not. Analysis posts like these should be taken with a pinch of salt. Don’t wrongfully accuse the innocent.]

[People above, are you blind? It’s such authentic news and you’re saying it’s not her? They are wearing three similar items at the same time? I recommend an eye specialist.]

The netizens started arguing fiercely on the internet. In recent times, Zhang Lingling had gained a wave of new fans and their fighting power was formidable. After a review and shift in perspective, more and more people started to doubt that it was indeed Zhang Lingling.

However, around 11 pm, Gu Xiang’s wife posted on Weibo: ‘I’ve asked him and Gu Xiang admitted to an affair with Zhang Lingling. We will be filing for divorce tomorrow.’

At once, there was confirmation that Zhang Lingling was the third party!

Whatever evaluation and explanations that had been given by Zhang Lingling’s fans immediately became a joke, it was a slap in the face for those who had believed in her.

At this point, Zhang Lingling, who had been lying low and keeping silent immediately sent a direct message to Gu Xiang’s wife, saying, ‘Slandering someone carries legal liability!’

But unexpectedly, Gu Xiang’s wife didn’t give a damn. In the program she came across gentle and simple, in reality, she wasn’t one to back away from a confrontation. She did not say much but instantly uploaded a chatlog between Gu Xiang and Zhang Lingling. Their chats were explicit – they had started their illicit affair two months prior and Zhang Lingling was the initiator. The talk was as dirty as one could imagine, there were even pictures of her that nauseated the netizens.

This was real news that was irrefutable. Everyone in the studio was stunned into a dead silence, not daring to say another word.

As the tide of public opinion turned, Zhang Lingling’s Weibo received a flood of hundreds of thousands of messages in a matter of two hours, all insulting her, and the numbers were still increasing.

Stunned by the miraculous then of events, Mu Lan took out her cell phone and made a call to Luo Qiao during her filming interval.

“Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao, have you seen Weibo? The evil will be punished by the gods indeed!”

Unexpectedly, Luo Qiao giggled on the other end of the line as she said, “Are you saying I’m god?”

Mu Lan, “???”

As she made a transfer to the paparazzi in question, Luo Qiao said nonchalantly, “You think your Daddy Luo will stand to be bullied by anyone?”

Mu Lan pondered for a moment and was so stunned that her mouth fell open, “!!!!”

She widened her eyes in amazement and asked, “What happened!! Was this whole thing your scheme?”

“Someone told me much earlier on. There’s so much dirt on Zhang Lingling, but this was probably the hottest, I was shocked myself when I saw it.”

“So you bought this scandalous story and got someone to break it?”

“Uh huh.”

Leaping up in the air, Mu Lan jumped up and down in mad excitement, “Ahhhhhhhh, Daddy Luo is so awesome!! I feel so good now hahahaha!!”

In the bedroom, Luo Qiao snuggled under her blanket with a mocking expression on her palm-sized face. “She dares to scam me. Just wait, I’m not done with her yet.”

“Is this the legendary overbearing CEO that people talk about?” She loved it!

Thus the talks around Gu Xiang’s affair intensified and his perfect public image bit the dust. An indecent couple, the betrayal suffered by a wife who went through the hardships of poverty for her husband – all these hit sore spots in the netizens. The media flocked to Gu Xiang’s home, the slightest movements were amplified hundreds of times. No matter how pitiful Zhang Lingling acted, she couldn’t stir the hearts of the netizens. Not only that, but those who had sympathized with her over the previous incident were also even more furious now.

The next morning, the Gu residence door opened and a weary-looking Gu Xiang was seen next to his wife, who was neatly dressed. She had light makeup on and there was no trace of awkwardness in her expression at all.

She stood tall with her spine straight and showed no nervousness as she looked at all the cameras pointed at her.

“Mrs. Gu, where are you going?”
