Chapter 137 - 137 137 There Should Be Unexpected Gains
?Chapter 137: Chapter 137: There Should Be Unexpected Gains Chapter 137: Chapter 137: There Should Be Unexpected Gains Yu Chunjiao made it to the top trending searches, successfully “blowing up.”
[Damn, the turnaround came so fast, Yu Chunjiao truly disgusts me.]
[Heavens, she’s kept as a mistress herself, and she’s a habitual offender, yet she has the face to lash out at Luo Ning.]
[Even seducing her best friend’s husband, that’s just too low.]
[Because of Yu Chunjiao, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of how shameless one can be.]
[Just for a role, Yu Chunjiao successfully proved what it means to court disaster with her actions.]
[Who gave her the guts to falsely accuse Luo Ning?]
[I almost believed her lies about framing Luo Ning, I apologize to Luo Ning, Yu Chunjiao get out of the entertainment circle.]
[Yu Chunjiao get out of the entertainment circle.]
As expected, Yu Chunjiao was universally denounced online and then shelved by her entertainment company, forced to slink away from the Imperial Capital.
She herself lacked integrity, so this outcome was of her own making, and it was karmic retribution.
Luo Ning also made the trending searches again thanks to her acting skills.
After seeing her audition clips, many people felt she brought the character to life and developed an urge to watch this yet-to-shoot Fantasy Martial Arts Drama.
No one expected her acting to be that good, and it also cleared away many past labels of being just a pretty face without talent.
Luo Ning currently had high popularity and traction, and with the situation turned around, she effectively helped promote the Fantasy Martial Arts Drama for free.
This made Director Zhu walk with a spring in his step, smiling at everyone, in an exceptional mood.
Then quickly, the online comments started veering off-topic, obviously steered in a certain direction.
[Cough cough, am I the only one who thinks President Xiao’s taste is a bit off?]
[What’s this he’s keeping? Isn’t a beautiful and virtuous wife at home far more appealing?]
[I hate this kind of scumbag the most, his wife Liu Shaoying is much better than these mistresses and side pieces, President Xiao is definitely blind.]
[You’re not alone.]
Xiao Yu naturally saw these comments and was both speechless and had an inkling that the Liu Family was stirring up trouble.
He posted on social media to clear Luo Ning’s name, mainly to leave her with favorable impressions.
Was reputation as important as the Xiao Family? To him, it wasn’t, so he didn’t regret making such a move.
He just regretted that, in a moment of folly, he used this method to disgust Liu Shaoying and tried to force her into agreeing to a divorce.
He now found the Liu Family extremely repulsive and didn’t want them to successfully lead the conversation, turning Liu Shaoying into a victim and allowing the Liu Family to ride a wave of public sympathy.
He immediately instructed his assistant to handle the situation, cutting off any sugar daddy relationships with all women.
Since there were contracts established when he kept them, the process was fairly straightforward.
Next, he had someone release the news that Liu Shaoying was cheating and carrying someone else’s baby.
If they wanted to disgust each other, then bring it on, he was indifferent.
Rather than being berated as a major scumbag, he preferred to admit being cuckolded as a way to garner sympathy.
That way, the Liu Family could no longer play the sympathy card, and it would also affect some Luck.
Indeed, once the news of Liu Shaoying’s affair was released, public sentiment shifted from criticizing Xiao Yu as a major scumbag to sympathizing with him.
Liu Shaoying, of course, didn’t admit to it and posted a wan video crying, claiming Xiao Yu was just making excuses for his own infidelity.
She even revealed all the people he kept.
Xiao Yu, who could keep so many mistresses just to disgust Liu Shaoying, naturally did not care much about his reputation.
So, he publicly released the contracts he had with those women, which clearly stated that it was just nominal support, without engaging in that kind of relationship.
He also posted on Weibo, explaining that he resorted to keeping mistresses only because he could not tolerate being cuckolded and Liu Shaoying wouldn’t agree to a divorce; his sole purpose was to get a divorce.
This reversal in the usual narrative of infidelity and patronage bewildered the bystanders on social media.
Xiao Yu and Liu Shaoying’s conflict had escalated beyond repair.
At the Xiao Family home, Xiao Yu placed the divorce papers in front of Liu Shaoying.
“At this point, there is no need to continue our marriage.”
Liu Shaoying sneered, “If you say I have cheated, then prove it. Otherwise, we’ll never end this conflict.”
She knew that Xiao Yu had people tailing her and was confident in her fearlessness because she was sure that he wouldn’t find any evidence.
However, she did not expect Xiao Yu to go public with these issues, embarrassing both her and the Liu Family; this was unforgivable.
“What exactly do you want?” Xiao Yu looked at her furiously.
Liu Shaoying reached out, tore the divorce papers on the table to shreds, and arrogantly stated, “I will never divorce you. You’ll never be free for the rest of your life.”
She refused to divorce not only to continue drawing luck for the Liu Family, but also because all the shares and assets of the Xiao Family were under the name of Xiao Yu’s father. She wouldn’t get much money if she divorced.
Therefore, even if Xiao Yu knew about her affairs, she was not afraid. As long as she did not break the marital bond, the Luck Changing Array could continue.
It was just unfortunate for her child; had the child not been aborted, she would have immediately had the Liu Family cast another spell on the Xiao Family, setting something up to hasten the demise of the Xiao family’s members.
Her son could have directly inherited the Xiao family’s wealth without all these troubles.
Xiao Yu was infuriated by her shameless demeanor, “You won’t succeed.”
Watching Liu Shaoying leave with an air of arrogance, Xiao Yu told his assistant to accelerate spreading the news about the Liu Family’s luck-siphoning scandal.
He himself couldn’t help but call Luo Ning.
“Is something the matter?” Luo Ning was having a meal with Lu Xun at the time.
Xiao Yu spoke politely, “Master Luo, I have a small matter I’d like to consult with you about. Are you busy right now?”
Luo Ning didn’t avoid Lu Xun, “I’m not busy, go ahead.”
Xiao Yu recounted once again the details of the divorce with Liu Shaoying that had just fallen through, “Master Luo, is there any way that you can find that adulterer Liu Shaoying is with?”
“She’s firmly against divorce, and if we can’t find proof, then I’ll have to wait until the period of separation is over to file for divorce in court, which will be too late.”
Only with evidence of Liu Shaoying’s infidelity could he immediately file for a divorce.
“I have been in touch with several families who were victims of the Liu Family’s scheming, and after their investigations, they too believe in the matter of luck, but they face the same dilemma as me—the women of the Liu Family refuse to divorce and sever the relationship.”
“They are only able to manipulate us because they know we don’t have any evidence. I simply cannot swallow this indignity.”
He sighed and added, “And without divorce, there’s no way to counteract the Liu Family’s curse.”
Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, “Send me the photos and videos you’ve had taken while tailing Liu Shaoying.”
Given the long period of tailing with no sign of the adulterer or any clues, coupled with Liu Shaoying’s fearlessness, she suspected there might be a problem.
Xiao Yu replied, “Okay, I will send it to you right now.”
After reviewing the photos and videos, Luo Ning indeed found why Xiao Yu’s people had failed.
So, she sent Xiao Yu a location.
And then she called him, “Come see me later; I’ll give you a Breakthrough Talisman.”
“Have the person trailing Liu Shaoying wear the talisman, and you should be able to find something beyond your expectations.”
“Alright, I will come immediately,” Xiao Yu said excitedly.
