Chapter 52 - Revenge
Wen Yun looked at the agitated reporters and hurriedly said, “I called Manman last night to explain myself. She’s truly a kind woman. She said that she would give me time and forgive me. I couldn’t make things difficult for her, so I took the initiative to call the wedding off. I’m not qualified to marry her now, but time will prove everything. When Manman is really willing to marry me again, I will use all the opportunities I have. I swear that I will wait for Lu Manman for the rest of my life, and I won’t go back on my word!”
He sounded so passionate.
Lu Manman held the IPAD, her smile especially cold.
Very good.
If Wen Yun dared to say that he would wait the rest of his life, surely he felt convinced that she would get back together with him?!
She wanted to see what he would do when she got married to someone else!
With a cold laugh, Lu Manman closed the IPAD section. There was nothing much to see on the news anymore. Most of the reporters had been bribed by Wen Yun, and they would surely speak from his point of view. But no matter how he tried to mask it, it only made matters worse. The fact had already been established, and such a sensational piece of news was enough to make Wen Yun wallow in depression for a long time.
Moreover, she would add fuel to the fire from time to time.
With that thought in mind, she snuggled under the blanket and went to sleep.
She slept until she woke up naturally.
It was already noon when she opened her eyes.
She stretched and yawned.
Then, she looked at her missed calls.
As she had turned off her cell phone, she had not heard her phone ringing. At this moment, she saw several missed calls from Wen Yun.
However, she did not bother about the missed calls. She opened the news app and browsed the headlines. When she saw Wen Yun’s news, there were some positive comments. Everyone knew that these comments were fake, and there were even more haters. In an instant, they suppressed the positive comments, and more and more people started cursing Wen Yun…
If this had happened to any other man, such as Mo Yuanxiu, who did not have a good reputation to begin with, perhaps everyone would just laugh it off. The more perfect a man was, the more unforgivable his mistakes would be. In fact, there would be unprecedented attacks on him! The press conference would only help the media outlets write better things, but if they did not watch their backs, news of Wen Yun’s mistakes would spread like wildfire.
Wen Yun was still too arrogant.
He really thought that with his glib tongue, he could treat everyone in Wen City like fools.
While looking at the various malicious comments, her cell phone rang.
It was still Wen Yun.
She narrowed her eyes and picked up the call. “Yun.”
“Manman, why didn’t you pick up my call?” His voice was anxious and unhappy.
As if he could not hold it in anymore.
Lu Manman innocently said, “I fell asleep. I slept so late last night that I basically stayed up all night. Did something happen?”
“It’s nothing serious. I called for a press conference, and we’ve already canceled our wedding.”
“Mm-hm,” Lu Manman answered.
“Manman, actually, I don’t care if I get scolded by others, but I don’t want to make things difficult for you. What I said at the press conference was all true. I will wait for your forgiveness, but…” Wen Yun paused hesitantly.
Lu Manman remained silent.
Wen Yun waited for a while but did not hear Lu Manman say anything. He could not help but add, “There was a press conference today, and many people said that I was acting on my own. They even said that I’d hurt you but dared to call the wedding off. They said that I… They had too many mean things to say, but I really don’t care.”
“Mm-hm, their mouth belongs to them. Don’t think too much.” Lu Manman kindly comforted him.
Of course she knew that was not what Wen Yun wanted to hear.
The next moment, Wen Yun could hold it in no longer. “Manman, I’m really doing this for our good in the future. You don’t want me to be embarrassed like this, right? It makes your heart ache, right? So why don’t you tell the media about how good I am?”
Lu Manman scoffed.
He had finally revealed his objective!
Did he really think she was an idiot? He had done something so atrocious, yet she had to put in a good word for him?
Everyone knew that it was best for her to speak up for him in front of the media now. After all, she was the one involved, and if she had already forgiven him, who else had the right to scold him?!
“Alright, I will.” She promised him.
“Manman, thank you.” Wen Yun heaved a sigh of relief, and his voice became a lot gentler. “Manman, I will build up my image again. I won’t let you feel aggrieved.”
“Mm-hm,” Lu Manman answered and then said, “Yun, it’s noon. I haven’t eaten breakfast yet. I’m getting up to eat. Bye.”
“Bye, Manman.”
Lu Manman hung up and smiled deviously.
Wen Yun, this is just the beginning of my revenge!
She looked up and made a call.
It rang a few times before the other party picked up. “Hello.”
“Mo Yuanxiu, want to grab a bite?”
“What for?”
“To celebrate?” Lu Manman said. “After all, isn’t it satisfying?”
“That’s all you seek?”
“Of course.” Lu Manman smiled. “It’s much more than that.”
The person on the other end seemed to laugh as well. He asked, “What do you want to eat?”
“Tell me. It’s on me.”
“I’ve never allowed a woman to treat me,” Mo Yuanxiu said.
“But I’m obviously richer than you,” Lu Manman said proudly.
Mo Yuanxiu was taken aback. “So?”
“You grabbed a real bargain.”
“So you’re getting married to me?”
“No, let’s play some more.” Lu Manman squinted. “Wen Yun’s issue isn’t over yet!”
Mo Yuanxiu pursed his lips.
“What do you want to eat tonight?” she asked excitedly.
“Anything?”
“I’ve always been generous.”
“Then, I’ll eat you.” The voice was neither warm nor cold.
Lu Manman bit her lip. What a shameless man!
“Didn’t you say that anything was fine?”
“Mo Yuanxiu, I don’t have the time to joke with you!”
“Do I sound like I’m joking?”
“Crazy!” Lu Manman hung up the phone.
This man!
She touched her burning face!
Could a man like Mo Yuanxiu even say something like that?!
Just as she was feeling unhappy, her cell phone rang. Mo Yuanxiu had sent her a text message: No.1 French Steak Restaurant. 6:30 PM. Time out.
Was he sending a telegram?! It was so succinct!
