Chapter 30

Gu Huaian looked at Shen Tang's ever-changing expression on the screen and felt it was very vivid.

He actually knew this matter could not be true, but still wanted to call and ask.

Yet somehow he sent a video instead.

"Did you see it?"

Shen Tang frowned, "How preposterous, and this photo..."

The hotel they were staying at was booked by the crew, outsiders could not even get in.

Plus the time and angle of the photo, Shen Tang found it hard not to suspect that person.

Thinking of the call from Gu Huaian, Shen Tang was shocked, could he be suspecting her of having an affair!

"Listen to my explanation!"

"Mm."

"I have nothing going on with him! Really!"

"Mm."

Shen Tang then started complaining about how annoying Shen Xiuran was.

To be honest, the two of them barely had any contact outside of work.

If he said he really liked her, Shen Tang would not believe it at all.

She even somewhat suspected he wanted to be co-stars with her.

This was very common in the industry, but just because it's common does not mean it's right.

"I really can't stand him, I suspect his brain is underdeveloped."

Having a crush on someone is not wrong, chasing someone is not wrong either, but when your actions bring distress to the person involved, then it's not right.

Shen Tang was truly annoyed.

Gu Huaian suddenly laughed.

"Do you need any help?"

Shen Tang shook her head, "No need, I think I already know who is behind this."

Just lacking a confirmation, but Shen Tang felt there was a nine out of ten chance she was right.

After chatting with Gu Huaian for a while, with Shen Tang doing most of the talking and Gu Huaian quietly listening, Shen Tang finally hung up as it was getting late. She was surprised to find herself not feeling constrained at all, instead rather comfortable.

After sitting by the bedside for a while, Shen Tang went out holding her phone.

Walking to the door of that person's room, she gently knocked.

"Who is it?"

"It's me."

The door opened, Li Xing revealed a kindly smile, "Sister Tang, what brings you here?"

Shen Tang got straight to the point: "It was you right."

Li Xing looked somewhat puzzled: "Sister Tang, what are you talking about?"

"The photo."

"What photo?"

Shen Tang sighed, "Li Xing, there's no point pretending anymore. That angle, and that timing, no one else could have done it except you."

Li Xing's smile slowly faded, "You found out huh..."

"I want to know why, why did you take that kind of photo? I didn't offend you right?"

Shen Tang did not believe she was unaware those things could only bring harm and no benefit.

"You do as you please." There was no point talking further, Shen Tang turned to leave.

Returning to her room, she looked at the recording on her phone, expression somber.

She originally did not plan to pursue this matter, just let it cool off on its own.

However, she did not know what Shen Xiuran was thinking, he actually retweeted the photo posted by the gossip blogger, and said - it's shot quite beautifully.

Shen Tang was so anxious her hair was nearly falling out.

She opened WeChat, found Shen Xiuran, and asked:

【Obsessed Monkey Mother: Have you lost your mind?】

【Shen Xiuran: What's wrong?】

【Obsessed Monkey Mother: Why did you say that on Weibo? flipping-tables.jpg】

【Shen Xiuran: Pfft, Shen Tang are you still afraid of something like this?】

Seeing this sentence made Shen Tang feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The original owner often trended on Weibo because of things like this, but those were not of the original owner's own doing, they were the company's decisions, she had no choice.

【Shen Xiuran: And I didn't say much, just felt the photo was shot quite beautifully】

【Obsessed Monkey Mother: Forget it】

【Shen Xiuran: Don't worry, the hype will die down in a couple days】

【Obsessed Monkey Mother: I hope so】

After that, Shen Tang paid more attention.

But there were still many photos leaked from tricky angles. The other party was also well prepared, mosaicking out parts that could not be exposed, leaving only Shen Tang's face clearly visible.

Not only were there photos of Shen Tang with Shen Xiuran, but also with Director Huo and other male actors from the crew.

Shen Tang: "..."

She was speechless.

She even suspected the other party was her true love, having taken so many photos.

And in every photo, her face looked quite beautiful, 360 degrees leaving no blind spots.

I'm so good looking!

Wait, that didn't seem to be the point!

Shen Tang went to find Li Xing: "Are you done yet?"

Li Xing shrugged, "Sister Tang, accusations require evidence. My phone is in my room, I didn't even bring it out."

Shen Tang looked at her, then walked over to Li Xing's assistant, reaching to grab her bag.

The assistant resisted forcefully, but was no match for Shen Tang's strength.

Shen Tang took a phone out of the assistant's bag, "What's this then?"

If she hadn't witnessed the little assistant secretly taking photos of her, she would not have recklessly come over.

"Li Xing, I already gave you a chance."

Hearing this, Li Xing seemed somewhat flustered, but soon calmed herself.

"Sister Tang, there's no law against taking photos right?"

"What do you think?"

Shen Tang gave her a meaningful look, then turned to leave.

The little assistant was extremely nervous, "Sister Xing, we won't get in trouble right?"

She still remembered Shen Tang suing those people earlier, and was afraid.

Li Xing was also somewhat apprehensive, but still acted tough: "What's there to be scared of? We didn't break the law."

However, in the subsequent filming, she kept messing up shots, or was on the verge of it.

The director cursed at her severely several times, and Li Xing glared fiercely at Shen Tang.

It was all her fault!

Shen Tang raised her brows, mouthed: "Serves you right!"

Li Xing felt her lungs were about to explode from anger!

Li Xing was unwilling to accept this. Why did Shen Tang with such a bad reputation still get to play the second female lead, while she tried so hard yet still failed to make it big.

Since Shen Tang liked to nitpick, she would let her nitpick to her heart's content.

Li Xing secretly looked at public opinion online, and seeing everyone scolding Shen Tang again, the stifled feeling in her heart finally dissipated somewhat.

Shen Tang, Shen Tang, isn't it good to keep lying in the mud, why must you crawl out to snatch her things?
