After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 442 - 445: Some Loves are Only Namesake [8]

"Disgusting!"

Frowning, he unfolded the newspaper and as he looked at those indecent intimate photos, Leng Lin slammed the newspaper heavily onto the table.

Aunt Su looked at the newspaper with suspicion, regretting that she hadn’t checked it before handing it to him; she had wanted to cheer him up, but who knew it would turn out like this.

"Don’t be angry, I’ve heard that these paparazzi just love to snap pictures randomly, and they like to use something called ’Photoshop’. This definitely isn’t real, Zimo has never been one to mess around, don’t you know him by now?"

"Hmph!" Leng Lin stood up, "The entertainment industry is just a dye vat, even the white becomes tainted black..."

Fearing that he would get so angry it would affect his health, Aunt Su said, "This must be fake news, why don’t you ask Miss Xu to come back and inquire?"

Leng Lin suppressed his anger and sat back down on the sofa, "Go and call Pei."

...

...

On the road, two cars collided from behind, resulting in a long queue of cars, and Xu Pei’s Maserati was among them.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Xu Pei didn’t show much anxiety on her face; she simply glanced sideways at the handbag on the passenger seat.

By now, the phone call should be coming, right?!

As expected, her phone began to ring.

Xu Pei raised her hand to press the Bluetooth headset on her ear and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Miss Xu, this is Aunt Su. It seems you’ve forgotten your documents..."

"Oh, look at my memory, I was so busy chatting and having fun, how could I forget? I’ll come back for it right away!"

After hanging up, she glanced at the lanes on both sides, Xu Pei swung her car across the central yellow line, and began to head back.

On a regular day, according to her personality, she wouldn’t do such a thing as breaking the rules, but this time, it was different.

Life had already begun to break the rules, what did it matter to violate a traffic regulation once?!

Hurrying all the way, she arrived back at the mansion; without even locking her car, she walked into the Leng family’s front door once again.

"Aunt Su, I really am sorry to trouble you to contact me..." Noticing Leng Lin seated on the sofa with a grim expression, she stepped hastily towards him, "Uncle Leng, what’s wrong?"

"Go upstairs!" Leng Lin waved his hand gently.

Aunt Su and the security guard left promptly, knowing it was best to be discreet.

Gesturing Xu Pei to sit beside him, Leng Lin passed her a newspaper, putting it in her hand, "Tell Uncle Leng the truth, what exactly is going on between Luo Xiaoqian and Zimo?"

Glancing at the newspaper in her hand, Xu Pei smiled, "You believe in such gossip? These entertainment reporters, don’t they write nonsense every day?"

"You don’t need to cover for him anymore, I know my own son. This kind of thing doesn’t come out of nowhere," Leng Lin coughed lightly, "are they really together?"

"This..." Xu Pei hesitated before speaking again after a moment, "Actually, Xiao Qian is really nice, truly, she... she’s a good girl!"

Leng Lin’s eyebrows furrowed faintly as he handed her another newspaper, "Is this what you call a good girl?!"

On the newspaper, there was another piece of news about Luo Xiaoqian, "Dark horse Luo Xiaoqian’s midnight rendezvous with a mysterious man".

"This..." The look on Xu Pei’s face was one of distress, but after a moment, she continued to speak well of Luo Xiaoqian, "You know well that in the entertainment industry, things are often not as they seem... Right now, as I’m working with Xiao Qian, from what I’ve seen up to now, I think she... she’s not bad, she’s also very hardworking."

This speech, while seemingly in support of Luo Xiaoqian, was laced with complex undertones that were half-hidden and half-revealed.
