Chapter 484: An Opportune Time
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xie Wanwan was a public figure, and many people would be interested in news about her.
That news stimulated a ripple effect to the point all kinds of slandering remarks started to circulate all over the internet.
“Xie Wanwan’s Meng Chi’s lover, right?”
“Didn’t someone claim that both of them already got married secretly?”
“Xie Wanwan must have slept her way up from an unknown starlet to being the biggest shareholder in Meng Entertainment Group... Let’s not forget what she had gone through... all those scandals we did not know of... this person lives an exciting life...”
“She’s a winner in life! Just a night and she’s standing right at the top!”
“She must have saved the world twice in her past life!”
“You can’t only focus on how she sleeps her way up and not see what she has suffered. Meng Chi is a pervert that sleeps with both men and women. Don’t all of you know about this? Xie Wanwan needs to pay a price for where she is now today!”
“Why are you talking about this? If you’re so capable, why don’t you let Meng Chi sleep with you?”
“He’s in jail. I can’t do that.”
“Hurhur, I’m a woman whom Meng Chi could never sleep with...”
“...”
Once again, the Internet was brimming with comments about this topic.
Xie Wanwan was a popular celebrity with many followers and fans.
When there were gossip, scandals, or rumors about her, the whole internet would be concerned.
However, Xiang Wan didn’t expect that...
... Her novel “Murder The Dream Guy” would also be one of the popular topics people would talk about!
Xiang Wan’s novel appeared as one of the trending topics, again.
This was because—she had ‘foretold’ the story in advance.
...
During the past few days, she wrote about her doubt on Meng Chi’s case and what Meng Chi experienced in his childhood. In her novel, the corresponding character of Meng Chi was called Hong Chou. In her novel, Xiang Wan attempted to reverse a little of his image from a villain to someone who deserves some sympathy.
In her novel, Hong Chou was not the ultimate villain.
He was not even completely gay.
He had loved a woman deeply.
However, for some reason, he didn’t get the love he wanted yet he refused to compromise to fate.
He concealed his actual sexual orientation and played the role as a gay man since his family had been pressuring him to get married. He was the only male descendant in a family with an enormous fortune. Having an heir was just as important as managing his company.
...
Xiang Wan reversed the image of this character in her story.
There were also many similarities between the actual case and the plots of the novel.
Many people took Hong Chou as the equivalent of Meng Chi.
Now that news about Xie Wanwan was now the largest shareholder of the company were leaked out, everyone started to link reality with the novel and felt that Xie Wanwan should be the woman that Xiang Gongzi had been implying in her novel—the woman whom Hong Chou loved deeply.
Hence, “Murder The Dream Guy” and Xiang Gongzi became a hot topic of discussion.
Someone remarked that whatever Xiang Gongzi wrote would turn into reality.
Someone commented that Xiang Gongzi already knew about the inside story and made use of her novel to expose what happened between Xie Wanwan and Meng Chi.
Another expressed that Xiang Gongzi would belong to the type of sly and scheming consorts in a harem drama, where she would survive and live to a ripe old age. This was because she could take out her love rival by making use of others to deal with them without using her own hands.
There were even some ‘helpful’ netizens who posted links on various social platforms to link to a post where it talked about Xie Wanwan, Second Young Master Mu, and Xiang Gongzi’s love triangle and complicated relationship.
What nonsense!
Did she get on trending news just because of that?
Xiang Wan gave a few pats to her face and messaged Bai Muchuan.
“I’m not deliberate! I’ve never thought things would come to such a state—”
In this case, she was writing exactly what she had on her mind.
She had never thought reality would actually coincide with her plot.
That day, when she finished writing that chapter, she even ‘ordered’ Bai Muchuan to read it.
It was because she felt that she had turned the story into an intriguing one—like a sad song that could move people to tears.
“I didn’t know that these people would link up the plot with reality and target Xie Wanwan, causing her to come under public scrutiny again.
“When I wrote that, I made reasonable speculation about the development of the plot. Meng Chi’s deeds are enough to receive a death sentence, right? What he left Xie Wanwan is equivalent to all of what he had. What could make a person do that? There are also some who analyzed that, Meng Chi might have done so to clear his suspicion of harming Xie Wanwan. However, there is no way for him to get away in the face of all the evidence.
“I rather believe that it could be love. Yet, when I wrote that plot, Xie Wanwan didn’t come across my mind, and I certainly didn’t allude readers to think the woman could be her. You’ve seen it too, I’ve never mentioned about the identity of the woman Meng Chi loves...
“Aye, I feel so apologetic!”
...
Her messages sounded a little incoherent since she simply sent what she had on her mind.
About slightly over 10 minutes later, she received Bai Muchuan’s replies.
“Don’t take all the blame when bad things like this happen!
“You think shouldering the blame is fun? Why take all the blame when you’re so small and skinny.
“Silly girl—
“Come to my office, we need to discuss your profiling analysis.”
Bai Muchuan’s messaging speed was fast.
He sent several messages in one go.
When Xiang Wan read through the messages, she deleted the message she wanted to reply initially.
She changed it to, “Coming right away!”
...
Before going to Bai Muchuan’s office, Xiang Wan hesitated a little after finding Xie Wanwan’s contact in her contact list.
She had always been there, but both of them almost never got in touch with each other.
Their relation with each other was more than an acquaintance but slightly lesser than a friend.
They were sensitive, awkward and careful around each other.
Regarding Xie Wanwan, Xiang Wan would sometimes feel powerless.
From a certain angle, Xie Wanwan was similar to a love rival.
However, Xie Wanwan had encountered too many bad things in her life.
Too much, in fact.
Even though Xiang Wan was not someone who would sympathize with someone easily, it was difficult for her to hate this woman.
Moreover, now that her book, “Murder The Dream Guy,” became the talking point of the rumors, saying that “Xiang Gongzi deliberately plotted against Xie Wanwan”, Xiang Wan thought it would be better to send a message to Xie Wanwan.
“If I tell you that this matter is purely accidental, do you believe me?”
She sent a message to Xie Wanwan which she replied within a few seconds.
“Of course, why shouldn’t I?”
“Thank you!”
Xiang Wan heaved a sigh of relief.
She felt relieved since she got her understanding.
“Are you alright then?” Xiang Wan asked.
“I’m good. I’m not that weak.”
Xie Wanwan did not seem to mind at all. Just from her tone alone, it even seemed that she was smiling while she replied Xiang Wan.
“Make a guess. All of these people who attacked me online, how many of them actually hated me and how many of them are just jealous? If they have a chance to exchange their lives with mine and could get all that I have today, guess how many of them would cry their lungs out and kneel before me, begging me to agree to the exchange?”
“Pfft! You’re very optimistic,” remarked Xiang Wan.
“If I take it personally, I’d have died of anger long ago.”
“Fine, I’ve over thought about this. I was worried that you might take it to heart.”
“I won’t. It’s fun to watch these people stomp their feet in jealousy.”
“Seems like I need to learn from you!”
“Sure, let’s go for dinner one day. I might come back to the Capital over the next few days...”
“... No problem.”
Their relationship was a strange one.
They hardly contacted each other, but when they do, it felt like they were very good friends.
When they were in Xi City, Xie Wanwan had asked her and Bai Muchuan to have dinner together.
At that time, Meng Chi’s mother was also with her.
Meng Chi’s case was still in Bai Muchuan’s hands at that point since they haven’t passed the case to Prosecution yet.
Hence, they refused Xie Wanwan’s request.
To think that the incident this time actually became an opportunity for her to have dinner with them instead.
Under such circumstances, Xiang Wan wouldn’t and couldn’t refuse her.
