Before twelve o’clock, the onlookers had already set up their chairs and were refreshing Weibo, waiting for Mu Qingyan’s “Weibo post at 12 o’clock”. They all wanted to see what kind of bombshell Young Master Mu was going to drop.
Ye Qiqi contacted Lu Wei: “Brother Lu, we can now reveal all of Xing Hao’s secrets.”
Lu Wei exclaimed, “I’ve already written several drafts of the article, just waiting for your signal!”
“I’ll post on Weibo now, and also post it on all the channels of Entertainment Weekly. We can get it done within ten minutes.”
After speaking, he added, “The effect will definitely be…stimulating!”
Ye Qiqi politely said, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Lu Wei said bluntly, “Ha, it’s not hard work at all. Besides, this is a task entrusted by the boss’s boss’s boss. I definitely take it seriously!”
The boss’s boss’s boss?
Ye Qiqi’s phone was not well-insulated, and Mu Qingyan could hear Lu Wei’s words clearly. He was a bit confused. Who was Lu Wei’s boss’s boss’s boss? Why did they care about his gossip?
After a brief explanation, Ye Qiqi hung up the phone.
She found the paparazzo interesting and said with a smile, “Lu Wei sounds even more excited than we are.”
“Who is his boss’s boss’s boss?” Mu Qingyan asked.
Ye Qiqi thought for a moment and said, “His boss is the editor-in-chief of Entertainment Weekly, his boss’s boss is the person in charge of Sheng Guang Entertainment, Zhou Xihang, and his boss’s boss’s boss…that would be the CEO and president of the Ji Group, Ji Liyun.”
“Got it, you can go ahead and work now.”
“Okay.” Ye Qiqi walked out of his office.
Mu Qingyan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the bustling cityscape outside. The warm sun shone through the glass and warmed his body.
In the original novel, there was little description of CEO Ji, and Mu Qingyan’s impression of him was quite rigid, ranging from “other people’s kids” to “domineering CEO obsessed with his career.”
In his memory, Mu Qingyan’s parents often mentioned Ji Liyun, but only as an example for Mu Qingyan to learn from and become a qualified heir to their company. He never expected that the domineering CEO would also like to gossip and be interested in scandalous news.
However, Ji Liyun did care about him and went out of his way to find Lu Wei to discuss the leak, probably due to their long-standing relationship.
It was quite considerate of him.
Ding ding-
Ye Qiqi sent a message: “Boss, Lu Wei has already leaked the information on Weibo and other channels. I’ve read through it all, and there are no issues.”
Mu Qingyan replied: “Okay, thank you for your hard work.”
Ye Qiqi sent another message: “You can also take a look, it’s really exciting.”
Mu Qingyan opened his phone’s notifications and found that the most popular, reposted, and commented Weibo post was the one that Lu Wei had leaked.
Although the text of the Weibo post was not long, every sentence hit the nail on the head.
First, it pointed out that Xing Hao spent the night with his mistress on the night he and Mu Qingyan got their marriage certificate, and only left the next day at noon. Then, it exposed that Xing Hao and his mistress had been having an affair for two years, frequently going on dates and booking hotel rooms.
Furthermore, each of his revelations was backed up by photos.
At the end of the Weibo post, Lu Wei also included a video of Xing Hao passionately kissing his mistress in her bedroom on the night of their marriage certificate.
They kissed for five or six minutes before they remembered to close the curtains.
After that, what they will do is up to the imagination of the netizens watching the show.
Mu Qingyan sneered in satisfaction and shared Lu Wei’s Weibo post, adding an exaggerated caption: “I thought I had found the right person, but it turned out that I had been deceived and betrayed for two years. It wasn’t until the night we got married that I realized that all of his promises were lies.”
Not only that, she also included a recording of Xing Hao’s lies on the night of their divorce, claiming that he had stayed out all night because of work and missed the gift-giving ceremony.
She clicked send.
Seeing the post and the reposts, the netizens were shocked!
[What the hell! So Xing Hao is a huge scumbag!]
[Tsk tsk, he has no right to cry about being abandoned.]
[Xing Hao is always spouting nonsense, unlike this expose, which has evidence and the truth!]
As expected, public opinion turned against Xing Hao. Those who had criticized Mu Qingyan for being too demanding and irresponsible yesterday were now cursing Xing Hao as a liar and a scumbag.
[Xing Hao cheated on her for two years, and Mu Qingyan was deceived into marriage] became the top trending topic.
However, the new second trending topic, “Xing Hao has multiple women,” and the third trending topic, “Internet celebrity Grapefruit was once kept by Xing Hao,” were also eye-catching.
Mu Qingyan, who had revealed everything, became one of the spectators.
The novel didn’t say that Xing Hao was a sea king, but he seems to have been hiding it well. Who leaked the information? Or was it someone who deliberately wanted to capitalize on the buzz?
Mu Qingyan opened the second trending topic and found that the evidence of Xing Hao having multiple women was collected by Lu Wei from other paparazzi before Xing Hao and Xie Ming became official.
Looking at the third trending topic, internet celebrity Grapefruit posted photos, videos, and chat logs of her and Xing Hao’s interactions. She accused him of promising to marry her, but in the end, he defined her as a kept woman.
All three trending topics were almost simultaneously exposed, plus the army of water army and marketing accounts constantly fanning the flames. Xing Hao was unable to counterattack even though he was pushed to the edge of the storm because all the allegations were true.
Mu Qingyan called Ye Qiqi: “Help me check who leaked all of this information?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qiqi replied, “I just saw the Weibo post and looked it up. The information about Xing Hao having multiple women was collected by Lu Wei from other paparazzi at the request of President Ji. He said it would be released when you made your expose.”
“Yuzu wanted to piggyback on the hype herself, but President. Ji [Ji Liyun] gave her a push when he found out.”
Mu Qingyan thought to himself that the original host was empty-headed, loved to create drama rather than work, but her personal secretary was very clever and had a strong sense of initiative.
Ji Liyun had already been defined by Mu Qingyan as a “helpful childhood friend,” so he didn’t think too much about it.
After a series of exposures, Xinghao [Xing Hao] was crazily criticized and the stock price of his company plummeted.
The spectators found that Mu Qingyan was the real victim of this “one-day marriage,” but he was calm and collected. He immediately fought back and beat Xinghao up without feeling inferior, which was so cool!
[That’s it, divorce!]
[Brother, keep fighting, we’ll always be with you!]
[Brother, you’re so handsome, we support you!]
Mu Qingyan only wanted to teach Xinghao a lesson and let him get what he deserved, but unexpectedly, this also boosted the image of himself, the MU company, and the Mu Group.
Many netizens expressed that although they could not afford luxury goods, they would definitely follow the MU company’s autumn release conference and wish it success.
The stock price of the Mu Group rose by the limit.
Mu Qingyan’s Weibo followers surged by five million, which surprised him.
Lu Wei’s exposure did not name the third party who had an affair with Xinghao, and the third party was very cautious, always wearing a mask and a duckbill hat when going out.
Only in the photo of their street kiss and the video of their kiss on the night of their marriage registration did the third party not wear a mask.
Sharp-eyed netizens found that the third party looked a lot like the newly rising flowery small fresh meat Xie Ming.
As a result, many gossip-loving netizens left comments under Mu Qingyan and Lu Wei’s Weibo posts, asking if the third party was Xie Ming.
Mu Qingyan did not respond and asked Lu Wei not to answer either.
After all, he had not directly confronted Xie Ming after his rebirth, and he needed to keep some leverage over him.
Xing Hao sat on the sofa, looking at the abusive comments from netizens on his phone, trembling with anger.
A few minutes ago, Xing Hao saw a message from his father Xing Xin, who had called him and scolded him, which scared Xing Hao into thinking he would be kicked out of the house. Fortunately, his mother intervened in time, but due to the divorce and affair, his father took back 10% of his shares in the company.
Now, he has fallen from grace in both the company and at home.
Xing Hao’s half-brother, Xing Yi, watched the drama unfold and was quite happy. He knew his brother was at home and returned from the company to take this opportunity to humiliate him.
As soon as Xing Yi arrived home, he walked up to Xing Hao with a smile on his face and said, “Oh, our Xiao Xing is at home.”
Xing Hao squeezed his phone tightly and said nothing.
“Tsk tsk, you got involved with Young Master Mu, and I thought you would fly up the ranks like a phoenix on a tree branch. But who would have thought that you would cheat,” Xing Yi sneered and sat on the sofa next to Xing Hao. “This time, you have made Dad lose face, and even I feel ashamed.”
“…”
Xing Yi’s eyes were smiling, but his gaze was like a sharp knife. “What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue? Wasn’t your mother always boasting that you and she held three percent more shares than me and that you would eventually become the CEO of the Star Company?”
“Now, your father took back ten percent, and it must feel terrible for you.”
Xing Hao lifted his head, which had been drooping, and waited angrily for his half-brother, who had been fighting him for the inheritance position for years.
“If it weren’t for your mother interfering, trying to become a mistress to gain power, my mother wouldn’t have been so angry that she would take pills to end her life,” Xing Yi stood up, looked coldly at Xing Hao, and said, “A cheap person gives birth to another cheap person.”
Seeing Xing Hao’s humiliated and powerless appearance, Xing Yi was very satisfied. Before he left, he left a sarcastic remark, “Dad asked me to take over the two companies you own. So, just be a good employee for me, Xing Little Master.”
Xing Hao watched Xing Yi humiliate him, humming a tune and leaving, his hatred trembling through his entire body. His knuckles turned white as he squeezed his phone, and his teeth chattered.
However, the butlers and servants of the Xing family were always opportunistic. They knew that the old master and the eldest young master were both looking down on the little young master, so they naturally wouldn’t care about him and silently walked away.
Xing Hao hated his father for favoring his older brother since childhood, hated his mother for trying to find him a well-connected spouse, and hated Xing Yi for suppressing and bullying him in various ways since childhood.
He hated Mu Qingyan even more.
Because it was Mu Qingyan who caused him to lose 10% of his shares now, and made him be looked down upon by his father and humiliated by Xing Yi.
He hated her deeply, and his mind was full of thoughts of revenge.
Trembling, Xing Hao dialed a number on his phone and, after it was connected, gritted his teeth and said, “Do something for me.”
