A few people found it unbelievable, especially Xia Xue, and Shen Mange among them.
Even if there were scandalous photos involving Zhang Yang, it shouldn’t drag Zhao Xiaotang into it.
This matter is only truly understood by the involved parties, Zhang Yang and Zhao Xiaotang.
Besides them, Chen Yun also had a rough idea, as she was in the room at the time and vaguely heard sounds from outside.
Apparently, three people barged in then took photos, and after some chaos, fled.
As for what kind of photos were taken, Chen Yun didn’t know either.
Seeing the content of these photos now, Chen Yun actually didn’t think much of it.
But looking at the expressions of others, Chen Yun didn’t dare to make a sound.
Perhaps knowing what’s going on, she felt there was nothing in the photos.
Yet, to outsiders, a man wrapped in a bath towel, even if the woman is neatly dressed, easily leads to wild imaginations.
Shen Mange and Xia Xue started scrutinizing Zhao Xiaotang, secretly guessing when this woman got involved with Zhang Yang.
The same question puzzled Li Yun’er.
Li Yun’er was even furious, loudly demanding Zhao Xiaotang: "Give me an explanation, why were you with him?"
"You were advising me before, but it turns out you were interested in this man too. No wonder you kept stopping me. I really underestimated you."
Evidently, Li Yun’er misunderstood Zhao Xiaotang, assuming she was like herself.
Both wanting to hook up with Zhang Yang, Li Yun’er was very angry as she had clearly stated her intentions to Zhao Xiaotang.
Yet Zhao Xiaotang still kept it from her.
Not only did she hide it, but she also acted all high and mighty in front of her, really hypocritical. If not for considering Zhao Xiaotang’s family background, Li Yun’er would have already cursed her.
Zhao Xiaotang was nearly driven mad by Li Yun’er’s words, "You idiot, take a good look. This photo was taken by the paparazzi you hired."
"I just happened to be here when they caught a photo of me, mistakenly thinking I was the woman with Zhang Yang."
Zhao Xiaotang’s words contained a huge amount of information.
Xia Xue and Shen Mange understood that the woman with Zhang Yang at the time wasn’t Zhao Xiaotang, but someone else.
Shen Mange was confused, as she wasn’t there and didn’t know the situation, so she could only look at Xia Xue.
Xia Xue instinctively looked at Chen Yun, who was extremely ashamed and lowered her head, not daring to meet Xia Xue’s eyes.
But Xia Xue didn’t expose her, just winked at Shen Mange.
Shen Mange moved, thinking Xia Xue’s gesture meant admitting that the woman with Zhang Yang was her.
So, she didn’t ask more, as long as it’s not Zhao Xiaotang.
Looking at Li Yun’er opposite, her face was gloomy and uncertain as she looked at Zhao Xiaotang.
Li Yun’er was now a bit confused too. Could it be that this matter was really just a misunderstanding?
Seeing Li Yun’er’s expression, Zhao Xiaotang was enraged by her lingering suspicion.
Immediately, she called the hotel manager to send over the surveillance video from that period.
To clarify things, the video was needed after all.
Soon the video was sent over, starting from when the three paparazzi and a waiter were sneaking around and stopped by Zhao Xiaotang when they tried to open the door.
Everything was clearly recorded in the video, and Zhao Xiaotang entered shortly after.
A short while later, the three paparazzi returned.
They then rushed in, and judging by the timing, only ten minutes had passed.
In that ten minutes, it was impossible for Zhao Xiaotang to have undressed and redressed, and still look immaculate.
Therefore, it could be basically concluded that nothing happened between Zhao Xiaotang and Zhang Yang. For original chapters go to novel·fiɾe·net
Li Yun’er finally realized, no wonder Zhao Xiaotang kept urging her to contact those paparazzi.
It turned out to be a mistakenly taken photo, and Li Yun’er’s face darkened.
Zhao Xiaotang scolded: "Now do you understand what’s going on?"
"My family already knows about this, and the impact of this scandal on me, you should be very aware of it."
"It might even have a considerable impact on my family’s business, and I said, all the consequences will be borne by you."
Li Yun’er was startled, then said evasively, "What does this have to do with me? I didn’t know anything, those three paparazzi have nothing to do with me."
Zhao Xiaotang sneered, "Do you think saying that will absolve you of responsibility?"
"It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it, those three paparazzi won’t escape."
"Don’t think my family will let it slide."
Li Yun’er was really a bit panicked now, and clumsily said to Zhao Xiaotang, "I didn’t expect it to turn out , why did you have to go back? If you hadn’t gone back, this wouldn’t have happened?"
By saying this, Li Yun’er already unintentionally confessed.
Xia Xue and Shen Mange understood that everything was manipulated by Li Yun’er.
Especially Shen Mange, looking very surprised at this moment.
She was just being amicable, trying to greet Li Yun’er and take care of Xia Xue, but didn’t expect Li Yun’er to be so malicious.
As someone who has struggled for over a decade in the entertainment circle, Shen Mange clearly understood Li Yun’er’s intentions.
It was to push Xia Xue away, really malicious.
But this photo accidentally captured Zhang Yang and Zhao Xiaotang instead.
Li Yun’er grabbed Zhao Xiaotang’s hand and said, "For the sake of our time together, please forgive me this time, I truly didn’t mean it."
Li Yun’er also felt wronged, what is this situation? Clearly, Zhao Xiaotang walked into the trap herself.
But if the Zhao family’s loss was too great, Li Yun’er knew she wouldn’t fare well.
Her outcome would surely be miserable, perhaps even being completely blacklisted.
Zhao Xiaotang looked at Li Yun’er coldly, "I gave you a chance, but did you take it?"
"I thought you betrayed our feelings and friendship, so I was speaking for them, really. I didn’t expect you did all this for me." Li Yun’er spoke earnestly, appearing sincere.
But Zhao Xiaotang wasn’t a fool; believing Li Yun’er’s lies again would truly insult her intelligence.
"Walk away, let’s not contact each other from now on, let’s black each other out."
Zhao Xiaotang coldly said, giving no chance to Li Yun’er.
At this point, seeing that Zhao Xiaotang was determined to cut ties, Li Yun’er stopped pretending.
"Alright, alright, alright, since that’s the case, I don’t need to feel guilty either, there’s something I wanted to tell you long ago."
"Don’t think you’re so great and noble, I think this photo suits you both well."
