Chapter 539: Chapter 539: In too much pain to muster any strength (1)

"If you’ve finished what you had to say, get out!" her voice was hoarse.

Her body felt numb in the cold water.

She felt as if each word she heard was a knife stabbing her.

"Since that’s how you see me, with no intention of believing me, there’s nothing more for me to say."

Gu Annan scoffed coldly, pulling out his phone, which displayed her text message, "Believe you? Are you going to tell me this text wasn’t sent by you?"

Her brows were tightly furrowed, but she did not speak.

"Tell me this wasn’t sent by you!" he demanded loudly, "Or perhaps, someone forced you to send it?"

Lu Wanwan bit her lip, and after a long moment said, "I sent it myself."

"Good! Very good!" His mocking laugh was low and cold, his fingers tightly clutching the phone, "Didn’t you say you wanted me to believe you? Lu Wanwan, then tell me, where was that scarf you said you left in the dormitory really?"

"It was with Bai Lingyun," she answered almost without thought, her arms wrapped around herself, "Haven’t your people been following me? They should know everything, right?"

That girl had been next door to their private room that day, and then, out of nowhere, Gu Annan had shown up downstairs.

She had personally seen that girl get into Gu Annan’s car, not knowing what was said, but now she realized, she must have been informing him of her whereabouts, telling him what she had heard.

Lu Wanwan didn’t know when Gu Annan had left the bathroom.

She got out of the bathtub, showered off, dried herself, and changed into clean clothes before walking out.

Not seeing Gu Annan in the room, she found her phone to check the extent of the situation now.

As expected, she was being horribly berated.

Bai Lingyun’s fans were always fiercely combative; in their eyes, she had become a shameless, clinging woman.

Somehow, it was leaked that she was married, and among the fan base, it was claimed she was married yet trying to seduce Bai Lingyun.

The sympathies were overt, but in reality, it was a trampling on her husband, whose identity nobody knew.

Lu Wanwan was impressed by her own calmness at the moment, or perhaps she had reached a point where she had braced herself for the worst-case scenario.

She numbly flipped through the scandalous revelations, as if they were someone else’s story, as if the insults were all directed at someone else.

Whether Bai Lingyun’s fans or haters, she was the one receiving the most abuse.

Lu Wanwan was not surprised; in such seedy news, women were always the most severely criticized, and the harshest critics were often other women.

Unlike in past incidents, this time she was clearly photographed with a full-face shot, there were pictures from the scene, and videos too—she couldn’t escape any of it.

Linked with a previous incident involving Lin Yu, she didn’t need to think to know that as the eldest daughter of the Jin’an Group’s CEO, with an incident of pushing her stepmother down the stairs, plus the lawsuit her stepmother faced before dying in the hospital, almost everything was blamed on her.

These dark points became the focus of Bai Lingyun’s fans as they whitewashed their idol, with virtually every forum post and Weibo comment featuring the same popular copied messages, as if they were telling everyone that it was all her fault.

Lu Wanwan had no interest in reading further; just as she was about to put away her phone, it buzzed.

"Xiaoxiao?"

Tang Xiao was frantic, "What’s going on this time? How big of a grudge did you pull?"

"It’s nothing, continue reporting as usual. It’s not just your outlet."

"I’m not talking about that," Tang Xiao quickly interrupted her, "Be honest with me, is your boyfriend that rumored heir of the Gu family? No, I should say—is your husband him?"
