Chapter 687 Something Fishy
Xia Ling was speechless for a long time before she asked, "Why are they going to such trouble to find me?"
Li Lei said: "A few days ago, you went to the mall to buy men's clothing and were spotted by the paparazzi. They followed you for several days until yesterday, when they photographed me coming out of your house, which made it on the news."
Sure enough, it was another scandal.
Xia Ling was not very happy. Her love life was already messy enough, and the paparazzi wanted to get involved. But this is also the tragedy of celebrities, living in the spotlight with no privacy at all. She raised her wrist and looked at her watch: "I have something to do in the afternoon, how long do we have to wait in the elevator?"
Li Lei said: "I have asked the people from the security department to clear the entire building and ask all the irrelevant people out. Please be patient and wait, but they will give me news when it is safe." After a pause, he added He said, "Then I will send someone to escort you out." He originally wanted to escort her out himself, but now that there are rumors about their affair, if he really does this, it will only allow the paparazzi guarding outside to continue to have information to expose.
Xia Ling had no objection to this arrangement and waited a little boredly.
Li Lei stayed with her quietly for a while, and then suddenly said, "I'm sorry."
She looked at him strangely: "What are you sorry for? It's not your fault. I was accidentally spotted when I was walking in the mall."
Li Lei said: "This scandal... is a bit serious."
When Xia Ling heard what he said, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in her heart. She looked at him with a pair of clear and bright eyes and asked him what he meant.
Li Lei was heartbroken and admitted his mistake: "The photo they took yesterday was of the two of us hugging at the door. As soon as the photo was released, many people speculated, was it because of you that Su Tang and I separated?"
Xia Ling was stunned for a moment, what is this all about? Although it was indeed because of her that he and Su Tang broke up, the problem is that the person Li Lei loved from the beginning to the end was her, Xia Ling. She only stood in the position of the "pursued" and asked the "pursuer" "Just draw a clear line with other women.
However, she understood that people outside would not think so.
Preparing for the worst, she asked Li Lei: "What's going on outside?"
Li Lei said concisely: "They said you are the third party." Looking at her face carefully, he added, "Of course, you are not. Xiao Ling, you are my only lover. Apart from you, I I have never fallen in love with any woman. Those gossips outside are all slander against you, and I will deal with it."
Xia Ling still didn't look good.
Li Lei said anxiously: "You don't have to worry, just leave it to me. I'm telling you this news. I just want you to be careful these days and don't get caught by reporters. It will be very troublesome."
"How do you plan to deal with it?" Xia Ling asked.
Li Lei said: "The incident happened because of me. I will explain to reporters that there is no relationship between me and Su Tang."
"Will they believe it?" Xia Ling doubted.
"I haven't married her for so many years. This is the best evidence."
Xia Ling stopped talking. Maybe the outside world will believe it, maybe they won't. But no matter what, she couldn't bear the infamy of this "third party". Now she was no longer alone, and she also had Shao Hui. She didn't want Shao Hui to see her sister in such a miserable and embarrassing way.
She raised her wrist again and looked at her watch.
Li Lei felt very guilty. The problem was obviously between him and Su Tang, but he had caused Xiao Ling to be wronged several times. He called again to urge the security department. Finally, the security department said: "Boss, the entire building has been cleared, and all non-Tianyi staff have been asked to leave. You and Miss Ye are safe."
He then pressed the elevator and took her back to Wei Shaoyin's floor.
Wei Shaoyin was a little surprised when she saw them: "Xiao Ling, why are you back? Boss, what are you doing here?" This guy was recording the song in the dark and had no idea what was going on outside.
Li Lei gave him a brief explanation and said, "Awei, take Xiao Ling to the garage."
Wei Shaoyin raised her eyebrows slightly, her face full of displeasure, but she did not refuse. He knew that it was inconvenient as Li Lei, so only by letting him deliver it could he control the situation to a point where it would not continue to escalate.
He picked up Xia Ling and walked out: "Hurry up, I'll be back later to compose songs."
Xia Ling followed him downstairs obediently, and went straight to the garage without even having time to say goodbye to Li Lei. A cordon has been set up in the garage, and there are many security guards guarding it. There is a long road leading directly to her car. There are several reporters standing outside the cordon, desperately taking pictures of her.
"Miss Ye! Miss Ye! Are you and Mr. Li really dating?"
"There are rumors that you are the third party. What do you think about this?"
"Are you really here to record songs today? Or are you secretly dating Li Lei?"
Questions one after another are overwhelming. Fortunately, Li Lei ordered the security department to do a very thorough job. No matter how many reporters there were, they could not rush to her side. Accompanied by Wei Shaoyin, she got into her Porsche, waved goodbye to Wei Shaoyin, started the car, and said proudly. And go.
As the car got on the road, her thoughts calmed down.
third party? Who is the third party? Looking at her pale and haggard face in the rearview mirror, she couldn't help but sneer slightly. If she really counted, I'm afraid Su Tang would have to be the one to get this reputation.
She skillfully drove the Porsche around, getting rid of a few people who were following her, and went directly to the Emperor without returning to her company. The emperor and Tianyi walked south and north. The paparazzi obviously did not expect to come here to arrest people. She went upstairs smoothly and saw Feng Kun.
Feng Kun seemed to be waiting for her to come.
When he saw her, he smiled and made a cup of tea: "Is the journey going smoothly?"
"Good luck." Even though she was used to big winds and waves, she couldn't help but swear when she was in a bad mood. She told what happened in the morning, and then she showed her anger in front of her old friends, "What's going on? Why do those people think of me so bad? Am I that kind of person?!"
Feng Kun said comfortingly: "The entertainment industry has always been like this. It's not like you don't know."
She took a sip of tea bitterly.
"However," Feng Kun said, "this is a bit too coincidental. The store you went to buy clothes is closed. The clerks in those high-end clothing stores are very well-educated and professionally trained. It is expected that the customer's information will not be leaked. Why did you just buy it in front of you, so those paparazzi in the back would know to keep an eye on you and Li Lei?"
Xia Ling raised her head and looked at him: "You mean...?"
"There is something fishy about this matter."
When Xia Ling was reminded by him, she also felt that something was wrong. She counted on her fingers and said, "If someone is really targeting me deliberately, then the most likely thing is..."
"Su Tang." Feng Kun completed it for her.
