Chapter 233 A Secret Relationship
Rong Shu took Mei Mei to the company first to pick up the gift she was going to give to Fu Ying, which had just been delivered to the company that morning.
After that, we went to the hotel.
The car had just been parked at the hotel.
Rong Shu received a call from Sheng Tingze.
"Tingze".
"Xiao Shu, have you arrived at the hotel?"
Rong Shu sensed something was off about Sheng Tingze's tone and asked, "Yeah, I just arrived. Tingze, what's wrong?"
"Xiao Shu, come to room 108 on the 18th floor."
Rong Shu was puzzled, but Sheng Tingze's tone did seem off, so she didn't ask any further questions.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Fu Ying's birthday banquet was held on the 19th floor.
Rong Shu first took Mei Mei to the 19th floor.
At this time, many wealthy ladies were chatting with Fu Ying in the lounge room when Rong Shu knocked on the door and led Mei Mei in.
Upon seeing Rong Shu with Mei Mei, the people inside the room were taken aback.
Rong Shu also saw Su Jinxi sitting inside the room. Now it seemed that she had really integrated into Fu Ying and Shen Yurong's circle.
Meimei saw Shen Yurong running towards her grandmother, "Grandma."
Shen Yurong pulled Meimei into her arms.
Rong Shu said to Fu Ying, "Madam Sheng, Tingze wants to see me about something. I'll go find him first."
What did Fu Ying want to ask?
Rong Shu turned and left as soon as she finished speaking, without even having a chance to give the gift.
Rong Shu took the elevator downstairs.
She walked toward the room number Sheng Tingze had given her, but she kept feeling like someone was behind her. However, when she stopped and looked back, there was nothing there.
She walked quickly to the door of room 108 and knocked.
The door opened quickly.
Sheng Tingze pulled Rong Shu in.
Rong Shu was startled. "Tingze, what happened?"
The words fell.
Then I saw Sheng Tingze's ugly face and heard sobbing coming from inside the room.
Rong Shu turned around in astonishment and saw a naked woman sitting on the bed, half-covering her body.
Sheng Tingze kept his back to the bed, clearly not wanting to look at it again.
"Tingze, what's going on?"
Rong Shu could obviously tell that nothing had happened between Sheng Tingze and her, but in the current situation, if someone came in and saw it, she probably wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she was in the right.
Sheng Tingze asked, "Xiao Shu, were there people outside when you came in?"
Rong Shu said, "No, but I still feel like something's not right."
Sheng Tingze frowned and said, "There are paparazzi outside."
Therefore, he dared not go out rashly. If he did, he would be immediately photographed, which would obviously mean he had been set up by someone.
Rong Shu instantly understood what was going on. Someone was trying to frame Sheng Tingze. She looked at the woman sobbing on the bed, frowned, walked over, took a bathrobe from the wardrobe, and threw it in front of Lin Ran.
"Miss, no matter who instructed you or what your purpose is, please put your clothes on first."
Lin Ran kept her head down and did not respond to Rong Shu's words.
Rong Shu's voice also turned cold, "If you don't want to wear it, do you want me to help you put it on?" Her tone was exceptionally forceful.
Upon hearing Rong Shu's words, Lin Ran tensed up, clutching the blanket tightly with both hands. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked up at Rong Shu.
The moment Lin Ran saw Rong Shu clearly, she was startled.
Looking at Lin Ran as well, Rong Shu was also taken aback, only to find that from this angle, Lin Ran did look somewhat similar to her.
This gave her a strange sense of unease.
Lin Ran reached for her bathrobe and wrapped it around herself, but she remained silent as she sat on the edge of the bed, refusing to say a word no matter what Rong Shu asked.
"You'd better make sure the people behind you can keep you safe, or you'd better be prepared to go to jail."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ran clearly panicked, lowered her head, and clenched her hands tightly between her legs.
At this time.
Sheng Tingze received another phone call.
Upon hearing the other person's words, Sheng Tingze's face darkened. He put down his phone and opened the entertainment news trending topics.
Rong Shu stepped forward. "What's wrong?"
Sheng Tingze handed her the phone and said, "Take a look."
Rong Shu took the phone and saw the headline: "President of Muguang Technology Games Company and Lin Ran enter and leave a hotel in close proximity."
As a well-known female celebrity, Lin Ran's scandal immediately made her a top trending topic on entertainment search.
Prior to this, Lin Ran had already been rumored to be dating a boyfriend in the entertainment industry. Although neither party publicly acknowledged it, they both understood the situation. Now, many people online are shipping the two as a couple.
This news is just telling everyone that someone has interfered in their relationship.
The news report included a photo.
The paparazzi photos show Sheng Tingze helping Lin Ran out of the elevator. The photos only show Lin Ran's profile, not her face. It looks like her, but it's impossible to be sure if it is.
The angle of the photo is very deceptive; she appears to be nestled in a man's arms, behaving intimately. However, it is certain that the man in the photo is Sheng Tingze.
He had previously participated in public events, so photos of him circulated online, and his handsome appearance attracted many female fans.
Soon another message surfaced, claiming that the person in the photo was not Lin Ran at all, but a financial television host.
Although Rong Shu is not a public figure, her hosting of the financial program previously sparked considerable discussion online due to her good looks.
Coupled with the previous rumors about her, netizens have a very deep impression of her.
Immediately afterwards, some people started stirring up trouble.
Some people have compared photos of Lin Ran and Evelynn, and Lin Ran does indeed look somewhat similar to Evelynn from certain angles.
They said the woman in the photo was Evelynn, not Lin Ran at all.
Lin Ran's PR team reacted quickly, claiming that the person in the photo was not Lin Ran, but that she was attending a brand event at the XX Hotel today, and that the location in the photo was not at all the same as the one mentioned in the leak.
The police have been notified of the baseless slander and rumors.
This PR response, coupled with the flood of support from Lin Ran's fans, confirmed that the woman in the photo was not Lin Ran at all.
Rong Shu observed the direction of public opinion and quickly realized what was happening. She stared at Lin Ran, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and remained silent, with a sullen face.
"It seems this isn't directed at you and Lin Ran."
It wasn't a honey trap targeting Sheng Tingze; it was a setup involving both her and Sheng Tingze.
It was simply a matter of leveraging Lin Ran's influence to amplify public opinion.
This deliberate and purposeful pacing, which allowed the revelations to quickly go viral and become trending topics, is enough to show that someone had prepared everything in advance and seized the most advantageous position in public opinion.
Sheng Tingze now understands this perfectly well; Lin Ran was just a decoy.
Netizens flocked to the Muguang official website to comment in the afternoon, pressing for answers as to whether the person who was seen behaving intimately with Sheng Tingze and entering and leaving the hotel was Lin Ran or Evelynn.
The current situation seems to be forcing Sheng Tingze to admit that the person in the photo is Evelynn and not Lin Ran, as if they want people to know that there is a secret relationship between the two.
There are definitely paparazzi and reporters waiting outside the hotel right now.
