CH 39.2

Shang Jing immediately jumped on board the search for He Jiang and Sun Ning’s past interactions which happened during the promotional period of 《Our Lives》 where He Jiang, as the romanticized male lead, appeared on a talk show hosted by Sun Ning. It was generally an interview about He Jiang’s thoughts and experiences he had during the filming of the movie.

One of the questions asked by Sun Ning was whether he had an ideal type, given his explosive acting in the movie.

And He Jiang had expressed his wish for his other half to stay away from games, to be well-versed in the Chinese language, history and current affairs.

At that time, Sun Ning had joked, “Looks like I’m an exact fit according to the description of your ideal type. When we were backstage just now, I was just saying how I couldn’t get the guy of my dreams due to my poor gaming skills. Could it be that you are trying to cheer me up?”

He Jiang: “No.”

Sun Ning: “Your description is so detailed. Do you have someone specific in mind?”

He Jiang frowned, “No.”

Sun Ning: “There have been rumors circulating in your fan circle recently. There’s this touching scene where you said ‘I love you’ to the female lead. Do you want to try saying that to me once to prove it’s an act so as to quell your fans’ worries?”

He Jiang: “Prove my acting skills? Is the movie just for show?”

…

“Stay away from games and be well-versed in history and current affairs…” Shang Jing looked at himself.

That doesn’t sound like me at all.

He Jiang, you douchebag. You can’t even keep to yourself on a talk show and flirt with the host. You even based the description of your ideal type on him! 

Shang Jing continued scrolling through the search results. There was also an article from a lesser-known website reporting sightings of He Jiang dining with Sun Ning.

Even though the photo was blurred, He Jiang’s facial features were still discernible, and in front of him was another man whose figure looked a lot like Sun Ning’s.

As usual, the search function was smart. It had already filtered out all of the articles related to He Jiang’s scandals, allowing Shang Jing to familiarize himself with six female and five male stars within five minutes.

Shang Jing puffed up with anger.

Seeing how much He Jiang changed recently, he had overlooked one thing. Judging from how it was not an easy feat for him to get into He Jiang’s good books, was it the same for others too?

There was even a wedding photo of Sun Ning and He Jiang photoshopped by fans.

Shang Jing was jealous, he had not even seen his wedding photos with He Jiang yet.

And this bitch of a host was even posting rumors about him.

Are you trying to say I’m not the right person for He Jiang?

As someone new to the unscrupulous methods used by clout-seekers, it did not occur to him that Sun Ning could be spouting nonsense on such a public platform.

It’s so obvious they have some history with each other. Judging from the time period, it was mostly during their marriage,

How can I take this lying down? I want a divorce!

By the time He Jiang came back with a glass of warm water, there was already a storm brewing above Shang Jing.

“What happened?”

Shang Jing handed his phone to him, shouting, “Jerk!”

He Jiang speed-reads through the article with squinted eyes in two seconds. “I am not close to him.”

Shang Jing: “If you are not close to him, how did he become the host of the show you invested in?”

Just like how Cen Feinuo and Yang Yue who only agreed to appear on the variety show because of their friendship with him, and his married status with him, the relationship between Sun Ning and him must be more than familiar with each other.

This was just a variety show! And he called in so many favors from his close contacts?!

He Jiang choked. How would he know the production team would invite Sun Ning onto the show? Except for matters related to Shang Jing, he really did not have the time to probe into everything.

Moreover, he had only interacted with Sun Ning once through an off-the-mill interview. It was also the interview where he was asked about his ideal type. Thinking there was a possibility Puppy Shang would see the interview, he had said he preferred someone well-versed in the Chinese language out of spite.

Without waiting for his reply, Shang Jing who was now well-versed in the Chinese language pressed on, “What else do you have to say about that? Where did you get the courage to bring your ex-boyfriend on the variety show?!”

How could you leave your ex-boyfriend and wife together?

He Jiang looked at his real ‘ex-boyfriend’ and felt a laugh emerge.

That’s right, he truly was capable of bringing his ex-boyfriend on a variety show.

Shang Jing: “…” What a jerk. How dare he laugh at such a timing?

Just as He Jiang was about to explain, the director piped up, “Attention everyone!”

Shang Jing smirked and walked towards the director with determination.

He had changed his mind. He would get first place and announce their break up in front of the entire nation. It would also solve the issue of He Jiang harassing him in recent times.

Plus, once they were at the Civil Affairs Bureau, He Jiang would have no choice but to go through with the divorce.

Shang Jing: “Remember, you promised me the mystery big prize.”
