"Jiu, have you seen the current discussion?" He asked in a disgruntled tone.
She looked at him guiltily, but she suppressed her discomfort.
"Of course, I have seen it." It would be difficult to miss.
"Why did you do this? I thought we had a plan. I feel like you sabotaged me." He frowned.
Jiu felt annoyance towards her brother. He was not a fool, but he could be blind.
"I obviously had no choice. It seems that I underestimated that woman. I thought she would cave under pressure, but she did not even respond once. If I had not shut it down, your reputation would have been affected." She explained.
This was not exactly true. Her plan had been to prove that Hu Lei was interested in Bei Gong Hai. That is why she had alerted the paparazzi covertly and offered to help Hu Lei connect with her brother. However, who knew that the b.u.mpkin was so alert?
Now, everyone was focussing on the fact that she had called Little Ninja Cat a treasure author. It had been a sarcastic remark. Now, everyone thought that the Bei Gong siblings were obsessed with Hu Lei and her books.
Although there was still dissatisfaction towards Hu Lei, the negativity towards her had reduced. The new information showed that she did not know anything about Bei Gong Hai except as an actor. It seemed that everything had been taken out of context.
There was even a large group of netizens defending Hu Lei because she had been judged harshly as a fickle woman without any evidence. It showed how little people respected women in a public career. The defence had gotten stronger as more people learnt that the photo taken at the Maven Resort was taken during an event for writers.
All in all, Bei Gong Jiu's plan to sabotage Hu Lei had helped her wash her reputation clean.
"My reputation has been affected." Bei Gong Hai said with anger. "People are saying that I am a person without conscience because I did not speak up when Hu Lei was being bullied. My manager wants me to apologise."
Bei Gong Hai had suffered a big setback this time. He had always been known as a warm and open person with a good heart. One simple mistake had earned him haters. How could he not feel dissatisfied with Jiu who had begun it all?
"Of course, you have to apologise. After all, it was your praise for her that pulled so much aggression towards her." She snorted.
"It was your idea. How am I supposed to deal with the fall back?" Admitting his mistake like his manager wanted might harm his lofty image.
Bei Gong Jiu looked at him and sighed, understanding his thoughts. As an idol, he could not kneel easily. She would feel the same in his position.
"Look, all you need to do is apologise and explain that you were afraid that supporting Hu Lei would make things worse, considering the situation. Once people think a little bit, they will realise that you made the right decision."
Hai nodded his head, liking the sound of the plan. It seems that he was really overthinking. There was no way his sister would do anything that would harm him.
Before the end of the day, his reputation was almost fully cleared. More importantly, a lot of his fans began looking for Little Ninja Cat's books. If their idol liked the author that much, there had to be something good about her.
The peace in Supreme City did not last for too long after the matter involving Bei Gong Hai and Hu Lei was resolved. Some days later, a certain hot scandal was revealed, causing everyone to gasp and dig for more juicy details. Though scandals were not uncommon, this one was particularly t.i.tillating.
According to a reliable source, a member of the elite circles, Murong Hong, had another family outside. Many people were not familiar with this man specifically. However, the Murong family was quite prominent and well-known because of Murong Yue whose fame was no less than Bei Gong Hai. Therefore, a lot of netizens were excited to hear more.
After all, Murong Hong was Murong Yue's direct uncle, making them close family members. His scandal was something worth getting excited about and the netizens could not wait to add in their thoughts and ideas to the discussion.
Apparently, Murong Hong had kept this mistress concealed for almost two decades. Moreover, they even had a child together. The illegitimate son had just reached adulthood.
Most people were shocked and disgusted, but at the same time, they could not help being impressed. It was hard to keep a low profile if you were part of an influential family in Supreme City. The fact that the man could hide such a long affair was a testament of his skill.
There was no personal response from the Murong family or the mistress and his son. However, this did not deter the lovers of gossip. Everyone was sending in their reaction and predicting how the entire mess would proceed. Would the scorned wife leave, or would the illegitimate son be welcomed to the fold?
In the other uninvolved Murong household, two people were drinking tea as they looked at the business news. Although Murong Hong's matters seemed like pure entertainment to the public, the revelation was actually quite important on the business scene.
The scandal had a particularly major impact because everyone knew that there was an inheritance battle going on between the two Murong brothers.
"The shareholders are quite dissatisfied. The drop in the share value is significant." Murong Cheng said with a smile.
Looking from an obvious perspective, the decline was not favourable for anyone involved in the company. However, if they could prove that Murong Hong was a liability, the Elder would be less inclined to place the chairman position into his hands.
"I told you that I had a plan. This should put us forward a little." Lu Liang responded.
"I am concerned that they might retaliate." Her husband said meaningfully.
They both knew what he meant, even though the matter of Murong Fai had never been openly discussed.
"Do not worry. I will not give them an opportunity. By the time they can take a breath, everything will be in our control."
