Staring for a long time, Lan Shu finally couldn't bear it and looked up, abruptly closing her laptop and asking displeasedly, "Are you done looking?"
Seeing her anger, Meng Jingwei smiled, "I just think you're beautiful."
It was just like good friends teasing each other.
Lan Shu was speechless. She picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. After just one sip, her hand holding the cup paused, and she subconsciously looked at Meng Jingwei, "You..."
She wanted to ask Meng Jingwei how she knew her coffee preference, but she felt it was just a coincidence and asking more would seem self-indulgent.
But for some reason, Lan Shu felt that Meng Jingwei was probably not the bad woman she was made out to be online.
"Lan Shu, you're the agent Lu Sen arranged for me. Today is our first meeting, could you tell me about your work experience? So I can get to know you better."
Meng Jingwei inquired about her 'background'.
This time, Lan Shu didn't evade and answered crisply, "I'm a native of Lancheng. I majored in Public Relations in college and have been working as an agent since graduation. However, I was injured over a year ago and lost my memory, so I've forgotten many things. But this doesn't affect my professionalism."
"Oh..." Meng Jingwei nodded as if she were stating a fact, and then asked, "Where are your parents from?"
"My parents died in a car accident a few years ago," Lan Shu continued to look at the news, her tone very calm as she spoke.
Meng Jingwei knew that her current identity was arranged by Qing Muye, and Lan Shu's 'background' was likely fabricated by Qing Muye as well.
However, looking at Lan Shu, although a bit cold, she wasn't excessively sad.
Amnesia was indeed the best choice for her!
All morning, Lan Shu dealt with the online smear campaigns against Meng Jingwei. Meng Jingwei lay on the sofa, answering whatever Lan Shu asked without any concealment.
However, she still didn't reveal her fake divorce from Qing Muye to her.
In the morning, with Lan Shu's push, another piece of news trended.
#ManMengJingweiKissedOnStreetFound#
A very eye-catching title was pushed to the trending list, garnering hundreds of thousands of clicks and nine thousand comments in a short period.
Meng Jingwei happened to see this trending topic. She clicked on it and found it was a spliced video.
The first part was Meng Jingwei drinking in a bar and being accosted, with Qiao Ziqian coming to her aid and being beaten; the second part was her and Qiao Ziqian going to a pharmacy to get medicine, with her sitting at the entrance applying medicine to Qiao Ziqian.
The angle of the video was likely from the pharmacy entrance surveillance. It clearly showed that they were not kissing, but that she was using a cotton swab to apply medicine to Qiao Ziqian. Moreover, this angle clearly showed a large distance between their faces.
Lan Shu had deliberately written a misleading title to attract traffic.
Below, netizens exploded again...
"Damn, she looks so cool when she fights, what should I do if I suddenly become her fan?"
"Why have those who cursed Meng Jingwei for being shameless suddenly gone quiet? Why aren't they howling anymore?"
"She's quite kind. I have to say, those unscrupulous media are truly disgusting."
"Although, but... I just really dislike her!"
"From Qing Muye giving her a grand wedding to her divorcing Qing Muye, I will always be a hater."
"Even if the street kiss is fake, what about her snatching the supporting female role from a young actress in the crew?"
"Exactly, exactly. She just doesn't look like a good person."
...
The comments below were polarized and fiercely debated.
However, there were also many rational netizens who expressed neutral opinions.
The number of people verbally abusing Meng Jingwei had significantly decreased compared to before.
Meng Jingwei was not surprised by Lan Shu's methods, as this was the most common and simplest routine public relations handling.
She asked Lan Shu, "Where did you get these videos?"
