255: Whose friends are like them?

Seeing that Tian Yuwei had a grasp of the situation, her agent finally felt relieved.

She let out a relieved sigh: "Weiwei, thankfully you still have your senses and didn't speak up for that scoundrel Tang Juan again."

Her agent had told Tian Yuwei before that Tang Juan wasn't as simple as she seemed on the surface. At that time, Tian Yuwei had even argued back, saying her agent was overthinking things and should stop badmouthing Tang Juan.

At the time, her agent was quite angered by Tian Yuwei and stopped interfering, hoping she would learn a lesson.

Who knew that despite her agent not interfering, Tian Yuwei constantly thought of Tang Juan and even gave her many resources, which angered her agent even more.

It's just that Tang Juan didn't listen to her agent at all. Even if her agent was furious, she couldn't dissuade Tian Yuwei and could only watch Tang Juan be made popular by Tian Yuwei without doing anything.

However, her agent also kept a close eye on Tang Juan, lest she accidentally cause Tian Yuwei to be harmed by Tang Juan.

Who knew that, just as she had imagined, as soon as she wasn't watching closely, Tang Juan dared to expose Tian Yuwei's negative information and might even be the mastermind behind it all.

Tian Yuwei just didn't like to compete normally, adhering to the principle of "I won't offend unless offended."

Now that Tang Juan had set her sights on her, Tian Yuwei wasn't someone who would just let herself be slaughtered.

However, she also knew that her agent's strong reaction was out of concern for her, so she didn't get angry with her.

She reassured her: "Don't worry, I haven't been in the entertainment industry for so long by being a little lamb. I know what to do."

Tian Yuwei had genuinely treated Tang Juan as a good friend before. Therefore, when she saw Tang Juan doing things that made her uncomfortable, she didn't suspect her and would even proactively find reasons to explain why she did them.

Now that she had recognized who Tang Juan was, upon careful reflection, Tian Yuwei realized that Tang Juan was clearly a "green tea" type of person, always acting weak and innocent in front of her, but in reality, trying to gain something from her every time.

What annoyed her even more was that she had actually believed her at the time, thinking Tang Juan was pitiful and she should help her more.

The result was that she was stabbed in the back by Tang Juan!

How could Tian Yuwei, now sobered up, still believe such a two-faced, malicious woman?

Tian Yuwei exhaled a breath and said, "Go find someone to help me keep an eye on Tang Juan. Don't worry about the online rumors for the next couple of days. We'll clarify them later."

Actually, Tian Yuwei had received the certificate for the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by the doctor yesterday. She could have used this certificate to clarify everything.

But she really wanted to know if Tang Juan had anything to do with this matter. Therefore, she planned to clarify after investigating thoroughly. This was even her last chance for Tang Juan.

She wanted to know if the years she had invested in Tang Juan were worth it.

She wanted to know if the person she had always considered her best friend was truly so cruel as to design and frame her. This was also Tian Yuwei seeking closure for the relationship of the past few years.

By the time Tian Yuwei finished her call with her agent, Lin Jia had already gone out.

Su Yue was still waiting for her in the living room. Seeing that her complexion was relatively normal, he said, "Tian Yuwei, I'm going to work. If you need anything, just call me."

Tian Yuwei nodded and thanked Su Yue: "Okay, thank you, Su Yue."

Su Yue didn't notice anything unusual about Tian Yuwei, so he went to the company feeling reassured.

In the photo of Tian Yuwei hugging Su Yue online, Su Yue's face was pixelated. However, for those familiar with him, just looking at the physique in the photo was enough to easily recognize him.

Under Li Haoyang's gaze, which looked as if Su Yue had done something insane, Su Yue felt his scalp tingle.

He couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

If Li Haoyang wasn't a good person, Su Yue would have found him unbearable and wanted to stay as far away as possible. Li Haoyang was getting stranger and stranger now.

It was better when Su Yue didn't ask. As soon as he asked, Li Haoyang's expression became even more indescribable.

He glared at Su Yue in dissatisfaction, somewhat angry: "Su Ge, how could you do this?"

Suddenly hearing Li Haoyang's accusation, Su Yue felt goosebumps rise. If he didn't know that Li Haoyang and Yang Qingmei were a real couple, he would really start to doubt Li Haoyang's current sexual orientation.

He rolled his eyes speechlessly, not wanting to bother with the neurotic Li Haoyang anymore.

Seeing that Su Yue ignored him, Li Haoyang became more eager, anxiously approaching him.

He was a bit annoyed: "Su Ge, why aren't you asking me why I'm scolding you?"

Su Yue said without much emotional fluctuation, "Oh, then why are you scolding me?"

Li Haoyang suspiciously looked Su Yue up and down, then turned his head to look around, finding that no one else was watching them.

Only then did he gossipingly ask, "Su Ge, you were the one with Tian Yuwei at the bar last night, right? When did you become Tian Yuwei's boyfriend? What about President Lan?"

Su Yue hadn't expected Li Haoyang to be so abnormal today because of the bar incident. However, to avoid causing trouble for Tian Yuwei, he subconsciously denied it: "It wasn't me."

Li Haoyang glanced at Su Yue contemptuously, somewhat dissatisfied: "Su Ge, how can you do something and not dare to admit it? I've clung to your leg so many times, how could I not know what you look like?"

Hearing Li Haoyang say this, Su Yue remembered the scene of Li Haoyang clinging to his leg and acting crazy, and his head started to ache.

He looked around, not seeing anyone else noticing them, and then asked in a low voice, "Besides you, who else knows about this?"

Li Haoyang's eyes instantly widened, with an unbelievable expression as if Su Yue were a scumbag.

"Su Ge! You actually..."

Before Li Haoyang could make a big fuss about it, Su Yue quickly reached out and covered his mouth.

He regretted even more why he had indirectly admitted to this matter on a whim just now. He gritted his teeth and warned in a low voice, "Don't tell anyone else about this!"

Before Li Haoyang's gaze became even stranger, Su Yue lowered his eyes and silently threatened him.

Li Haoyang inexplicably felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. He shivered in fear and quickly nodded vigorously to indicate that he understood.

Actually, Li Haoyang hadn't intended to reveal this matter from the start. He just wanted to know if Su Yue was really the person in the photo.

Now that he had received a positive answer, he certainly wouldn't be talkative and reveal what Su Yue wanted to hide. After all, he considered Su Yue his strongest support; how could he possibly reveal Su Yue's affairs?

He knew Su Yue's character and knew that he wasn't the type to mess around. However, this also made Li Haoyang even more curious about how Su Yue, an employee, knew Tian Yuwei.

Seeing Li Haoyang nod repeatedly indicating he understood, Su Yue finally let go of him.

As soon as Li Haoyang was released, he excitedly pressed on: "So, Su Ge, how exactly did you and Tian Yuwei meet? Why were you there last night? Why hasn't Tian Yuwei clarified? Are you two really like what the internet says?"

Li Haoyang rattled off a bunch of questions. Su Yue didn't want to explain so much to Li Haoyang.

"Last night was just an accident. There's no relationship between Tian Yuwei and me."

Li Haoyang waited for a long time, only to receive an explanation that amounted to nothing. His eyes instantly widened in excitement: "That's it?"

Because of his excitement, Li Haoyang's voice was a bit loud, and other colleagues looked at them.

Su Yue noticed the gazes of others and glared at Li Haoyang in annoyance.

Li Haoyang quickly showed a fawning smile, chuckling foolishly, wanting Su Yue to tell him more gossip.

"Su Ge, just tell me. I'm really curious."

How could Su Yue let Li Haoyang know about his relationship with Tian Yuwei? Besides, there was no relationship between them in the first place.

He impatiently chased him away: "Alright, I've already told you what you wanted to know. Now get lost."

Li Haoyang put his hands together, begging Su Yue to tell him more.

"Su Ge, just say a little more. I recognized you the moment I saw the trending topic. I was worried about ruining your good thing, so I held back until now to ask you. Just tell me what happened."

Hearing Li Haoyang say that, Su Yue was almost angered to death by him.

"You still want to shift the blame onto me?"

Li Haoyang chuckled: "How is this shifting the blame? I'm just curious how Su Ge got to know a great beauty like Tian Yuwei."

An expression of longing appeared on his face: "Su Ge, your luck is really good. First President Lan, and now the nation's wife, Tian Yuwei. If I were you, I'd probably wake up laughing in my dreams."

Su Yue didn't want to get entangled with Li Haoyang, this gossipy otaku who was eager for drama, anymore. With a stern face, he said, "Qingmei is here. I'm going to tell her what you just said."

As soon as Li Haoyang heard Yang Qingmei, he immediately acted like a mouse spotted by a cat. He obediently pushed off with his feet, and the wheeled chair he was sitting on slid back, instantly returning him to his own workstation.

He even turned his head with a smile and looked behind him: "Qingmei, you're here."

Upon seeing that there was no one behind him, Li Haoyang immediately realized that Su Yue was tricking him.

However, Li Haoyang didn't have the chance to pester Su Yue anymore. Su Yue no longer wanted to be bothered by him and slipped away to the restroom.

Li Haoyang was quite disappointed to see Su Yue leave, but he rated Lan Zijun and Tian Yuwei in his mind.

Both of these great beauties are excellent; it's like choosing between the palm and the back of your hand, truly difficult to decide! No wonder Su Ge didn't want to tell him; he must not be able to decide himself!

Su Yue was worried about being pestered by Li Haoyang if he stayed at his post, so he used going to the restroom as an excuse to escape.

When he returned, he actually saw Yang Qingmei in the office.

The other person was clearly not here for Li Haoyang, as she was standing by his desk at the moment. However, perhaps seeing that he had gone out, she was talking to Li Haoyang.

Su Yue subconsciously thought that Lan Zijun might be looking for him, but he couldn't guess why Lan Zijun would be looking for him at this time.

Unable to figure it out, Su Yue didn't trouble himself by dwelling on it and calmly walked back to his workstation.

As soon as Yang Qingmei saw Su Yue appear, she said directly, "Su Yue, President Lan is looking for you."

Yang Qingmei's voice wasn't quiet, but it was particularly jarring to the ears of everyone who was holding their breath, trying to figure out the purpose of her visit.

Perhaps it was because he had experienced Lan Zijun personally coming to find him, or Tian Yuwei's unrestrained behavior at the bar, but Su Yue inexplicably felt that his skin had thickened considerably. At this moment, he didn't have much emotional fluctuation.

He nodded to indicate that he understood. Yang Qingmei then said goodbye to Li Haoyang and followed Su Yue to Lan Zijun's office.

Li Haoyang was still making a choice for Su Yue in his mind. Seeing Lan Zijun looking for Su Yue at this moment, he felt that this was a scene of bloodshed, and Su Yue would be lucky not to be completely stripped bare.

So, who would Su Yue choose in the end?

Su Yue didn't know Li Haoyang's thoughts. If he did, he would definitely snort coldly and then arrogantly say, only children make choices; he's an adult, of course he wants them all!

Yang Qingmei didn't enter the office. Su Yue went into Lan Zijun's office alone. When he entered, Lan Zijun was on the phone with someone.

Seeing him enter, Lan Zijun said to the person on the other end of the phone with a cold face, "Tell me when you have news."

After speaking, she hung up the phone.

Su Yue: "President Lan, were you looking for me?"

Lan Zijun subconsciously furrowed her delicate brows, but thinking that they were in the office now, she couldn't mess around and didn't argue with him about the address.

She asked, "About the online matter, do you need my help?"

As soon as Su Yue heard Lan Zijun's meaning, which implied she knew he was the one with Tian Yuwei, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Seeing Su Yue frowning, Lan Zijun subconsciously explained, "I didn't deliberately investigate you. My cousin happens to be a fan of Tian Yuwei. He posted the photo on his Moments saying he was heartbroken, and that's how I recognized it was you."

Su Yue certainly wouldn't narcissistically think that Lan Zijun deliberately investigated his private life. He explained, "No, President Lan, I was just a bit surprised that you could recognize me just by my physique."

Lan Zijun didn't think much and said directly, "Your physique is very recognizable. I knew it was you with one look."

Only after saying it did Lan Zijun realize that this sentence was too ambiguous. This was the first time she had said something like this in so many years. After she finished speaking, Su Yue hadn't reacted much, but she herself had already blushed.

Su Yue also felt that the content of Lan Zijun's words was a bit suggestive, and he couldn't help but wonder if Lan Zijun saying this meant that he was special in her heart; otherwise, how could she recognize him at first glance?

When Su Yue saw Lan Zijun's ears inexplicably turn red, he became even more certain of this idea in his heart.

Immediately, he curled his lips, somewhat amused: "Is that so? So Lan Ziju understands me so well."

Lan Zijun was already blushing because she had said such ambiguous words. Being called by her name affectionately and teased by Su Yue, her face instantly turned even redder.

She bit her lip helplessly, determined to regain her aura as the President.

"Of course, I understand you very well."

Seeing Lan Zijun looking at him stubbornly with red-rimmed eyes, Su Yue couldn't help but chuckle, finding her too cute.

Lan Zijun was already trying hard to hold on. Su Yue's light chuckle sounded like mockery in her ears, and her romantic thoughts instantly dispersed, her face turning pale.

She bit her teeth in annoyance and said with a cold face, "So what is your relationship with that celebrity?"

Su Yue would hide it from Li Haoyang, but he didn't hide it from Lan Zijun. He said honestly, "We are friends."

Lan Zijun's face darkened a bit more: "Friends? Friends are this intimate?"

Lan Zijun had specifically found someone to buy the original photos. The photos circulating online weren't even that ambiguous; there were even more inappropriate actions in those photos. Yet Su Yue said they were just friends?

What kind of friends are like them!
