Chapter 8: Making the Trending Topic

Mu Lingyun, upon hearing this, was speechless. It was the first time she had heard someone justify being scummy as if it were perfectly reasonable.

Song Jiao's face turned pale instantly, yes, the man in front of her was known to everyone as a playboy.

By asking such a question, she was somewhat humiliating herself.

But being with Rong Shaofeng did bring her many benefits, including many resources.

"Rong, did I do something wrong? Just tell me, and I can change! I'll be very obedient. Can we please not break up?" Song Jiao bit her lip, feigning a pitiful look.

"What I dislike most is people clinging on desperately, as you know. If you still want to make it in the entertainment industry, you should know what to do," Rong Shaofeng said nonchalantly.

Grinding her teeth, Song Jiao chose not to say anything more, and, supported by a friend, she left with the card Rong Shaofeng had given her.

However, before leaving, she glared fiercely at Mu Lingyun: "Mu Lingyun, don't be smug. Sooner or later, you'll be dumped just like me. And when that time comes, you'll be a hundred times more miserable than me!"

What?!

Mu Lingyun was speechless, thinking what does this have to do with her again?

She looked towards Rong Shaofeng, puzzled. Surely Song Jiao didn't think she was the reason for their breakup?

"Why are you looking at me?" Rong Shaofeng, feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, huffed, "You heard it just now, Song Jiao and I broke up! We broke up! Now, I have nothing to do with her! The things she does have nothing to do with me. Don't you dare tell my parents that she and I have any connection, or else I.."

"Or else what?" Mu Lingyun raised an eyebrow, asking casually.

"Or else, or else... I won't talk to you for a day!" Rong Shaofeng pondered for a moment, then said threateningly.

Mu Lingyun: …

Was this threat supposed to be intimidating?

Mu Shaofeng admitted, there was no other option.

Physical threats—can't beat her.

Using family status as a threat—doesn't hold a candle to hers.

If he ignored Mu Lingyun for more than a day, he'd probably be kicked out by the old folks at home.

He had it tough!

"Did you hear that?" Rong Shaofeng, seeing Mu Lingyun didn't respond, pressed her for an answer.

"Alright, alright!" Mu Lingyun speechlessly said, "Whatever Song Jiao did has nothing to do with you."

With that, she took a deep breath and stepped away.

Rong Shaofeng, having received a clear answer, happily drove away.

Mu Lingyun returned to her dormitory to find her three roommates all waiting for her, all set for a confrontation.

"Oh, look who's back, our phoenix?" Zhang Lanqiao, with her short, neat hair, said sarcastically when she saw her.

"Lanlan, speak kindly," Qin Shuangshuang, with her long, wavy hair, said while looking in the mirror.

"Does she ever listen even when I speak nicely? I told her not to get too close to Han Ming, that Han Ming was bad news, did she listen? Always dreaming of transforming from a Cinderella to a phoenix, and look where it got her? Now she's being trashed online! Happy now?" Zhang Lanqiao exploded, visibly frustrated.

"It's okay, Sister Lanlan. Since it's already happened, it's good for Mumu to see Han Ming's true colors," Mo Qian, sweet and gentle, softly told Zhang Lanqiao.

Mu Lingyun was stunned for a moment, then she understood why her roommates were saying all these things.

Although she hadn't had time to check Weibo or the school forum today, relying on her memories from her past life, she knew that Lai Yuan had already announced the recasting on Weibo at this point.

Based on her experience in her previous life, although she was not famous, she still ended up being ridiculed on the trending searches.

Thinking this, she pulled out her phone and opened Weibo.
