You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

[#Top Actor's Filming Set Slams? Lu Ci's Secret Meeting with Four Women in Hengdian, Suspected of Falling into a Love Triangle!#]

Lu Ci raised an eyebrow and clicked into the entry.

What came into view was a high-definition photo of him chatting with four girls on set this morning.

The angle of the shot was perfect; at first glance, it really does look like a scene from a movie where Aquaman crashes his car on set.

The comment section below has long been completely overrun by netizens who love a good show and various online trolls, with all sorts of outrageous revelations emerging one after another.

An account claiming to be an "insider" uncovered Shen Man's true identity, not only posting her resume as the female president of the Shen Group worth billions, but also fabricating a dramatic and convincing story.

It is claimed that although Shen Man and Lu Ci are divorced, the two have maintained an ambiguous relationship of "divorced but not separated". This infatuated CEO even spent a fortune to give Lu Ci a villa in a luxury residential area.

Immediately afterwards, the online trolls turned their long attacks on Tian Weiwei, even digging up clips of the two of them together when they filmed the show "Wuha" on the grassland, fabricating that the two had already developed feelings for each other at that time.

The reason Tian Weiwei took on this sci-fi blockbuster was so that she could have a paid romance with her lover, and even compete with other girls for his attention.

It must be said that the person who wrote this press release is definitely a veteran.

He used real-world evidence, such as villas and appearances together on TV shows, as the framework, then filled it with fabricated scandalous gossip. Combined with those photos, he instantly made it difficult for ordinary netizens to distinguish between truth and falsehood, leading them to subconsciously choose to believe him.

This is the most common tactic used in entertainment news today.

Netizens don't care about the truth; they simply enjoy watching the drama unfold in the cyber world and seeing celebrities' public personas crumble.

As for whether the allegations are true or false, they have neither the means to verify them nor the desire to discern them.

Lu Ci noticed that, as of now, no authoritative official media outlet has reposted or reported on this seemingly trending topic.

It's all marketing accounts and netizens with no fan base stirring up trouble. Those so-called "informed netizens" and highly-rated comments are obviously the ones who posted the photos online to deliberately smear him, professional trolls hired at a high price.

After quickly glancing through the trending topics, Lu Ci breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he turned on his phone, he saw unread messages from Qin Meng, Lin Wan, and others who were far away in Jiangcheng. He really thought he had caused a major incident.

It now appears that these online trolls' comments were nothing more than fabrications based on a few behind-the-scenes photos. The girls in Jiangcheng probably saw the trending topic and sent messages of concern to inquire.

Incidentally... there was also a hint of testing and jealousy, after all, the visual impact of four beautiful women gathered together in the photo was quite significant.

The room was quiet at the moment.

Tian Weiwei remained stiffly standing at the junction of the entryway and the living room, unsure whether to walk or sit.

The other three women on the sofa, seeing Lu Ci staring intently at his phone screen with a serious expression, wisely refrained from disturbing him, only occasionally exchanging glances.

Lu Ci put away his phone, looked up with amusement, gestured with his chin towards the stiff Tian Weiwei, and pointed to an empty single sofa next to him:

"Sit down, why are you just standing there like a doorman? Aren't you tired?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Weiwei chuckled awkwardly a few times, her small hands fidgeting with the off-shoulder sweater on her shoulders: "Is...is this convenient? Should I...go back first?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Lu Ci pointed to the review materials on the coffee table. "This is a proper academic conference. What's inconvenient about it?"

Tian Weiwei secretly glanced at the high school materials on the table out of the corner of her eye, then quickly scanned the three women on the sofa.

"An academic conference?"

Tian Weiwei silently complained in her heart, not believing a thousand times the nonsense Lu Ci was spouting.

Dressed like this... for an academic conference held in a double room?

But under Lu Ci's open and honest gaze, Tian Weiwei ultimately didn't dare to run away at the last minute.

She moved her stiff body, shuffling over to the sofa, and carefully sat down.

He sat upright, his body barely touching the edge of the sofa, his back ramrod straight, as if ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any moment.

Lu Ci ignored her little scheme, tossed his phone onto the coffee table, and briefly recounted what he had just seen on the trending topics to the girls in the room.

Before the words were even finished, Gu Xiaowei couldn't sit still any longer. She pouted angrily, waved her small, white fist fiercely in the air, and said confidently:

"It must be Jian Yangqian! This is absolutely impotent rage; he's resorting to underhanded and disgusting tactics behind people's backs!"

Lu Ci remained noncommittal, turning his head to look at Tian Weiwei's sweet and pretty face, and said thoughtfully:

"This trending topic must have had a significant impact on you, right?"

If it's just normal hype to portray the two as a couple, then leveraging Lu Ci's current popularity, this trending topic is actually a good thing for Tian Weiwei.

But the top-ranked terms now contain disgusting words.

They were all openly and subtly mocking Tian Weiwei for shamelessly "courting" him, even for humiliating herself by vying for his attention with several other girls outside the entertainment industry on set.

Since her debut, Tian Weiwei has always maintained a pure and sweet image, and has a large number of male fans.

This smear campaign by online trolls is nothing short of a devastating blow to her commercial value.

Hearing Lu Ci mention this, Tian Weiwei's wandering thoughts were pulled back to reality.

She sighed, somewhat resigned, and nodded with a dejected expression.

"It's more than just a significant impact... My agent's phone has been ringing off the hook with calls from the company's executives."

Now the internet is full of people cursing me. Those haters and marketing accounts say that I've lost all shame in order to gain popularity, and that all the innocent personas I portray on screen are just an act.

Even worse... there are even a lot of people spreading rumors, saying that I was sexually exploited by higher-ups and capital countless times before I got to where I am now..."

Tian Weiwei's voice was filled with deep grievance, but this girl, who usually seemed delicate, sweet and lovely, was surprisingly strong at heart.

Despite being extremely depressed and having bright, sparkling eyes, she did not shed a single tear in the face of such vicious and overwhelming rumors and insults online.

Looking at Tian Weiwei, who was trying to hold back her emotions, Lu Ci frowned slightly, tapping his fingertips lightly on his knee, a sudden doubt rising in his mind.

If Jian Yan is indeed the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, then I have repeatedly embarrassed him. Logically speaking, the person he should be the one most wants to use financial means to suppress and blacklist is me.

However, the content about Lu Ci in this trending topic only mentioned "divorce" in a light and innocuous way, subtly highlighting the billionaire female CEO and implying that he was a kept man, without causing any substantial damage to his career.

Instead, they clung to Tian Weiwei relentlessly, as if they wanted to destroy her completely through public opinion.

This isn't about dealing with Lu Ci; it's clearly using Tian Weiwei as a punching bag.

Lu Ci asked with some curiosity:

"Compared to the petty grudge of you refusing his dinner invitations a few times, Jian Yan should dislike me more, right?"

Why doesn't he blacklist me? Instead, it seems like he's taking his anger out on you.

Upon hearing Lu Ci's question, Tian Weiwei raised her head and glared at Lu Ci with a hint of resentment.

Then, she silently shifted her gaze to Shen Man, who was sitting to the side, her hands supporting her chin as she gazed tenderly at her ex-husband, and muttered under her breath with a hint of helplessness:

"Teacher Lu, please stop teasing me."

"You have two powerful backers. Unless Jian Yan has been injected with hyaluronic acid, he wouldn't dare to lay a finger on you, even if he had ten times the courage."

Lu Ci turned his head in the direction of her gaze.

Sitting next to her, Shen Man was elegantly crossing her two long, slender, white legs, the hem of her black silk nightgown draped over the sofa.

Seeing Lu Ci's probing gaze, Shen Man's pretty face instantly blossomed into a gentle, almost ingratiating smile, her eyes full of tenderness.

Shen Man stretched out her slender white fingers, twirled a strand of hair behind her ear, and said in a soft voice with a hint of eager anticipation:

"That Jian Yan's family does have some capital. But... compared to me, they're still far behind."

I heard you had a conflict with him, so at noon I had my secretary talk to Jian Yan's father... Lu Ci, tonight... how about you treat me a little?

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian and Gu Xiaowei tensed up instantly, their large eyes locking onto Shen Man in a flash.

The wariness and defensiveness in his eyes were almost palpable.

Lu Ci automatically ignored Shen Man's last sentence and turned his gaze to Tian Weiwei:

"I have two powerful backers? Besides her, who else could it be?"

Tian Weiwei pouted, looking annoyed:

"The Zhao family of Shanghai, I just heard from your agent that Zhao Xingxing, the young master of the Zhao family, is supposedly blacklisted by Jian Yan."

That young master Zhao directly spread the word among the rich second-generation circle that Jian Yan had better watch out in the future and not let Zhao Xingxing see him, otherwise... every time he sees him, he'll beat him up.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ci's lips twitched a few times, and Zhao Xingxing's image instantly flashed into his mind.

"I have to admit, this is something Zhao Xingxing would do." Lu Ci thought to himself, feeling both amused and exasperated.

At this point, Lu Ci's doubts were completely resolved.

Jian Yan probably intended to deal with him after withdrawing his investment today, but before he could make a move, Shen Man and Zhao Xingxing gave him a dressing down.

Jian Yan realized that his family's assets, which he was so proud of, were insignificant compared to the two behemoths standing in front of him: the Shen Group and the Zhao family of Shanghai.

However, this spoiled rich kid was narrow-minded and had nowhere to vent his pent-up anger at losing face on set.

After realizing that he couldn't afford to offend Lu Ci, he unleashed all his anger on Tian Weiwei.

Sitting to the side, Tian Weiwei looked at Lu Ci's matter-of-fact expression after hearing that Zhao Xingxing had made a move, and her beautiful eyes were filled with deep surprise.

It's understandable that Shen Man, this devoted ex-wife, would resort to such means for Lu Ci.

But she never expected that Zhao Xingxing and he would have such a good relationship.

Tian Weiwei looked at Lu Ci with a somewhat complicated expression. Although she had previously been amazed by his talent in the music industry, antique appraisal, and cooking.

But in her mind, Lu Ci was a grassroots prodigy who climbed up step by step from being a bar singer, and he didn't have any background.

But it wasn't until this moment that she realized that the background of the person in front of her was probably unmatched by anyone in the entertainment industry.
