Chapter 249: Spreading Rumors

Translator: _Min_

Meng Chuan found the idea of dining with someone like w.a.n.g Lan repulsive and rejected her subsequent words and offers.

After being repeatedly rejected, w.a.n.g Lan was momentarily stunned, unable to comprehend what was happening.

Gu Dai, unable to hold back her amus.e.m.e.nt, said with a smile, Havent you noticed how familiar he looks?

w.a.n.g Lan replied without thinking, Of course, hes familiar. This is Meng Chuan!

Gu Dai was speechless.

Upon seeing the incredulous look on Gu Dais face, w.a.n.g Lan realized something was amiss. After studying Meng Chuan for several seconds and noticing his attire, a possibility dawned on her.

Trembling, w.a.n.g Lan asked, Youre the man from before?

Meng Chuan remained silent, but his silence was answer enough for w.a.n.g Lan.

Recalling her earlier behavior, w.a.n.g Lan desperately tried to explain, I was just joking with you, please dont be angry.

Meng Chuan responded indifferently, 1 dont think you were joking.

Meng Chuan ignored w.a.n.g Lan and turned to a subdued Sheng Xin, asking, How come 1 didnt know 1 was signed to your familys company and that I was made famous by Sheng Media?

Sheng Xin, trying to lower her presence but was still noticed, awkwardly laughed, I

Meng Chuan pressed, Is this the tactic your company uses to deceive new artists?

Sheng Xin quickly waved her hands, No, no, this was the first time. I realize my mistake now and wont do it again!

Meng Chuan stated seriously, Im an actor and spend a lot of time studying microexpressions. Your expression just now told me this isnt your first time using these words.

Caught, Sheng Xin defiantly said, Even if it wasnt my first time, what can you do about it?

Meng Chuan replied, I dont have evidence right now, so indeed, 1 cant do much.

Sheng Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Meng Chuan, seeing her reaction, spoke coolly, But I can refuse to work with your company!

Shocked, Sheng Xin exclaimed, What!

Sheng Xins mind was in chaos, antic.i.p.ating the financial loss her company would suffer, the scolding from her father, and the difficulties she would face.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Sheng Xins face turned pale as she hastily said, This movie collaboration not only allows you to create another stunning role but also to earn a lot. Are you sure you want to cancel?

Meng Chuan, unmoved, stated, I dont lack money or stunning roles.

With that, he called his agent and canceled the movie collaboration in front of Sheng Xin.

Sheng Xin slumped into her chair, her mind echoing with the words, Its over!

Suddenly, Sheng Xin looked up at Gu Dai, but fearing Meng Chuans reaction, quickly lowered her head again, cursing Gu Dai inwardly.

It was all her fault!

Had she revealed Meng Chuans ident.i.ty earlier, she wouldnt have acted in a way that led to the contracts cancellation.

In Sheng Xins eyes, Meng Chuan was foolish for choosing Gu Dai, a woman she deemed unworthy.

Gu Dai, noticing Sheng Xins internal turmoil, advised, Dont just curse me in your mind. Its not good for your health.

Shocked, Sheng Xin asked, How did you know?

Gu Dai replied, It was obvious.

Sheng Xin, now exposed, dropped the pretense.

Angry about the terminated collaboration, Sheng Xin lashed out, You, a divorced woman who knows nothing but how to seduce men, have no right to stand beside Meng Chuan!

Gu Dai calmly stated, Meng Chuan and I have a sibling relations.h.i.+p.

Sheng Xin retorted, I know! Youre siblings without blood relation.

Sheng Xin had only heard about Meng Chuan having brothers, never a sister, so she was convinced Gu Dai and Meng Chuans relations.h.i.+p was inappropriate.

Thinking this, Sheng Xin looked up at Meng Chuan and yelled, You just returned from abroad and dont know about Gu Dai, but I can tell you about her!

Meng Chuan replied, Im not interested in hearing about her from you.

Frustrated, Sheng Xin blurted out, Gu Dai had an affair during her marriage and was with many men at the same time.. Why would you want to be with her?
