Chapter 62: Green Tea, Everyone's Laughing Stock!
Gu Ningning panicked, completely panicked. "We are best friends! Are you going to ruin my family for the sake of a man?"
"Friends?" A sneer curled the corners of Jiang Zhiyun's lips. "I, Jiang Zhiyun, do not have friends who crawl into men's beds. You make me sick."
At that moment, the zipper of the adjacent tent was also pulled open.
Lin Weiwei poked her head out with a messy mop of hair, rubbing her sleep-heavy eyes, and asked, "What are you all arguing about in the middle of the night... Holy crap!"
When she saw the scene before her clearly, a heavy curse slipped right out of her mouth.
"What... what is going on here?"
Lin Weiwei hurried over, looking at the disheveled Gu Ningning, then at the livid faces of Jiang Zhiyun and Chen Yu.
Jiang Zhiyun said nothing; she merely pointed her chin toward Gu Ningning.
Lin Weiwei grasped the situation by seven or ten percent instantly, but still asked in disbelief, "Did she... did she go crawl into your husband's bed?"
Jiang Zhiyun let out a cold snort as a reply.
Lin Weiwei's temper flared up instantly. She was already annoyed by Gu Ningning's flirtatious remarks earlier, and now she was beyond furious.
She rushed up to Gu Ningning and, without a second thought, swung her hand and delivered a slap!
"Slap!"
Another crisp sound of a strike rang out.
This slap hit even harder than the one Chen Yu had delivered.
"Gu Ningning! Have you lost your damn shame?!"
Lin Weiwei's chest heaved violently with anger, and she pointed straight at Gu Ningning's nose, cursing fiercely. "I must have been blind before to ever consider you a friend! To think you're this kind of person! Sneaking around to crawl into your best friend's husband's bed, are you that cheap?!"
Gu Ningning was completely dazed by the two slaps, her cheeks swollen high and blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
Her anger still unappeased after the scolding, Lin Weiwei turned to Jiang Zhiyun and said, "Zhiyun, don't waste your breath on someone like this! From now on, not a single person from the Gu Group will be allowed in any commercial performances or endorsements under the Lin family! I'm posting on Weibo right now to draw a clear line between us!"
With that single statement, she handed down another death sentence to the Gu Group.
Many of the businesses under the Gu Group involved cosmetics and fast-moving consumer goods, which relied heavily on celebrity promotions.
As an A-list diva, the impact of Lin Weiwei's boycott would be catastrophic.
Gu Ningning fell into complete despair.
She had never expected that Chen Yu and Jiang Zhiyun—these two people—would both be so ruthless and decisive, leaving her no room to maneuver whatsoever!
The live broadcast chat room was already going completely wild.
[Holy cow, holy cow, holy cow! The plot twist! It turns out Gu Ningning launched a night raid on Chen Yu's tent!]
[I knew it! Chen Yu doesn't look like that kind of person! Turns out the green tea bitch brought this upon herself!]
[President Jiang is mighty! With a single sentence, she cut off the Gu family's lifeline! So domineering!]
[Goddess Weiwei is so fierce too! Directly went up and slapped her! That scolding felt so satisfying!]
[Hilarious, she asked for this and dug her own grave. Trying to seduce someone else's husband ended up getting her own company destroyed.]
[Gu Ningning's social life is completely dead now, right? Broadcasted live to the entire internet, she's lost all her dignity.]
[Am I the only one feeling sorry for Chen Yu? He can't even get a peaceful night's sleep without having to deal with trash like this.]
Ignoring the collapsing Gu Ningning and the furious Lin Weiwei, Jiang Zhiyun took out her phone and directly dialed the head of camp security.
"Hello, Captain Wang? This is Jiang Zhiyun. An unauthorized person has sneaked into the campsite. Could you please send a couple of people over to 'escort' her out?"
The voice on the other end immediately agreed.
After hanging up, Jiang Zhiyun didn't even spare a glance at Gu Ningning on the ground.
Seeing that the security guards were about to arrive and she was about to be swept out like garbage, a flash of madness crossed Gu Ningning's eyes.
She couldn't just be finished like this!
Since you won't let me live in peace, then we'll all go down together!
She scrambled up from the ground abruptly, pointed at Chen Yu, and shrieked at the top of her lungs:
"What gives you the right to treat me like this! It was him! Chen Yu was the one who actively seduced me! He was making eyes at me all day, and he even messaged me at night to come over! He said his wife is frigid and can't satisfy him! You've all been fooled by him! He's nothing but a hypocrite!"
She knew there were no cameras inside the tent, leaving no dead-hard evidence!
As long as she insisted that Chen Yu was the initiator, she could splash a bucket of unwashable filth all over him!
If a man was exposed to such a scandal on a nationally broadcasted show, his reputation would be completely ruined!
And Jiang Zhiyun would become the biggest laughingstock in the entire world!
"Oh?"
Facing her hysterical accusations, Chen Yu finally spoke again.
"You say I messaged you?"
He extended a single finger and pointed toward the direction of Gu Ningning's own tent.
"Your phone should still be in your tent, right? Go get it, open up our chat history, and show everyone how I 'seduced' you."
Gu Ningning's face turned sheet white instantly.
Chat history?
There was no chat history between them at all!
"I... I..."
Stammering incoherently, her brain raced at lightning speed as she tried to manufacture a new excuse, "I... I deleted it! I was afraid Zhiyun would find out, so I deleted it right after reading it!"
"Is that so?" Chen Yu gave a light chuckle. "Then care to tell everyone what content I sent you? Was it 'Babe, come quickly to my tent,' or 'I'm lonely, beg you to keep me company'? Mimic my tone and repeat it for everyone to hear."
"You..." Gu Ningning was choked into complete speechlessness.
Chen Yu took a step forward, looking down at her from above.
"Even without chat history, you can still explain this."
"Since I was the one who actively invited you, why didn't you just walk over openly instead of sneaking into my tent like a thief?"
"I... I was just afraid of the bad impact!"
"Afraid of a bad impact?" A mocking curve appeared on the corner of Chen Yu's lips. "Wearing a piece of erotic lingerie and running into a married man's tent, and you're telling me you were afraid of a bad impact?"
"You! You're talking nonsense! This... this is just an ordinary silk nightgown!"
Gu Ningning was making her final struggle.
"Really?"
Chen Yu's gaze slowly swept over the fabric on her body, which was thin enough to be almost transparent. "Do you all think this nightgown is 'ordinary'?"
Suddenly, realization hit Gu Ningning.
Chen Yu was participating in a dad-and-kids reality show, which meant—every bit of her disheveled, pathetic, and ugly appearance at this moment was being clearly recorded by the live broadcast cameras.
Her last line of psychological defense completely shattered.
"Ah—!"
Covering her face, she let out a despairing scream.
At that exact moment, two security guards in uniform hurried over, carrying flashlights.
"President Jiang, Mr. Chen."
The head of security greeted them respectfully, then glanced at the mentally unstable Gu Ningning and asked, "Is this her?"
Jiang Zhiyun gave a cold nod.
"Alright, Miss Gu, please come with us."
The two security guards grabbed Gu Ningning by her arms, one on each side.
