Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 661: Interstellar Decline of Imperial Rose Cannon Fodder (10)
Chapter 661: Interstellar Decline of Imperial Rose Cannon Fodder (10)
Leng Ying had not yet figured out her next strategy when she received a call from Ling Ge.
Upon answering, she saw Ling Ge dressed in his handsome and fancy military uniform, filling her heart with love.
Yet she forcibly maintained her composure, appearing indifferent.
She took the initiative to ask, "Ling Ge, Luo Ning misunderstood our relationship and posted on Star Post. Do you know about it?"
Ling Ge nodded, "I just found out. I called you to talk about this."
"I already asked my adjutant to book a starship back to Imperial Capital Star in half an hour. You rest well; I’ll come see you after I handle everything."
Leng Ying’s hand, hidden under the covers, couldn’t resist tightening its grip on the bedsheets.
Of course, she didn’t want Ling Ge to leave, but she had to maintain her persona.
She showed an agreeable expression, "Indeed, you better go back and explain things to Luo Ning. I haven’t ruined your relationship, and you and I are innocent. Make sure she doesn’t misunderstand."
"I’m sorry. I didn’t expect that after being injured, my assistant would take the initiative to call you, causing Luo Ning’s misunderstanding and even pushing her to call off your engagement, which could affect your reputation."
She decisively shifted the blame onto her assistant.
Ling Ge sighed, "It’s not your fault. This is an issue between me and Luo Ning. I’ll handle it."
Leng Ying pursed her lips as she looked at him, "Then go ahead. Making up with Luo Ning is the most important thing. Otherwise, I worry that the Luo Family might be affected, and I am also concerned that your reputation might continue to be damaged."
"Only if Luo Ning forgives you will I be at peace."
Her eyes reddened, "You should stop coming to see me in the future. I don’t want Luo Ning to misunderstand, and I don’t want everyone to think I’m the mistress."
"We are friends, and even if we can’t continue our relationship, your happiness is enough for me."
She was almost moved by her own series of ’green tea’ acts.
Look how considerate she was toward Ling Ge, always thinking about him.
Unlike Luo Ning, who wouldn’t act unless it was to attempt to destroy Ling Ge’s reputation.
Normally, Ling Ge would surely appreciate Leng Ying’s thoughtfulness and feel she had been wronged.
But now, his thoughts were not focused on her.
Yet, he still consoled her, "There is nothing wrong between us. Not seeing each other might only make us seem guilty. You don’t need to do this."
"I’ll contact you after I sort everything out," he added.
Leng Ying could see the perfunctory nature of his response, cursing Luo Ning internally again.
Indeed, Ling Ge had feelings for that woman, but previously, he hadn’t realized it himself.
Her plan was to provoke Luo Ning into acting irrationally and exhaust all of Ling Ge’s affection and patience, allowing her to fully replace Luo Ning.
Unexpectedly, just as her plan was working, Luo Ning made a move that swayed him.
Speaking to Ling Ge, she displayed restraint and strength on her face, "Alright, go ahead. Whether we contact each other or not, we’ll discuss that later."
For a short while, she wouldn’t take the initiative to contact Ling Ge.
She always knew one thing: things that are too eagerly pursued are the least cherished.
Though she wanted him by her side every day, perhaps even to escalate their relationship further.
Yet, she always held back.
She knew she shouldn’t, otherwise, how was she any different from other women trying to steal Luo Ning’s man?
And how could she make Ling Ge give her special attention?
She could only endure and then switch to a new tactic.
Just then, Ling Ge’s adjutant arrived to pick him up, and after a quick farewell, he ended the call.
Once the call was disconnected, the once gentle, elegant, and strong appearance of Leng Ying twisted severely.
She made a call to a young heir of the biggest entertainment live-streaming company on the Star Network, who also showed interest in her.
The other party had previously wanted to invite her to participate in a live reality show, and she was still considering it.
Now she urgently needed to find an opportunity to clear her name, so she decided to join.
The call took a while to connect.
A handsome young man appeared in front of Leng Ying.
He asked, "Did you need something?"
If she said now that she wanted to be with him, he would immediately hang up.
Leng Ying could see that his attitude was much colder than before, and he obviously knew about the Star Post matter.
She pretended to be calm and said, "Didn’t you invite me to join that reality show earlier? I’ve decided to participate. Is that okay?"
Qiao An raised his eyebrows, "Why did you suddenly decide to participate?"
Leng Ying replied, "It’s not sudden. I had been considering participating before."
"You should also know about the incident on the Star Network. Luo Ning misunderstood my relationship with Ling Ge."
"I can’t explain it to her now because she won’t listen, so I want to join this program to let everyone know that Ling Ge and I are innocent."
She looked at Qiao An meaningfully, "It would be even better if you could invite Luo Ning to participate, so I can explain and prove it to her."
She believed that with her and Luo Ning both participating in a reality show with such high popularity, Qiao An would be tempted.
Then she would consistently provoke Luo Ning to act irrationally, create a contrast between them, and play innocent, which should significantly clear her name.
Everyone would shift their sympathy from Luo Ning to her.
Otherwise, she really couldn’t think of another way to clear her name quickly.
Having tasted the thrill of sudden fame and being pursued by the second and third generation of wealthy families, she was even more reluctant to lose it.
Qiao An had originally intended to refuse, since he didn’t want to offend Luo Ning for Leng Ying’s sake.
Although the Qiao Family was also a prominent family in Imperial Capital Star, they were still inferior to the Luo Family.
However, Leng Ying’s words made him see the potential popularity and benefits.
He thought for a moment and said, "I’ll ask the director if there’s still a spot available, then I’ll get back to you."
He actually planned to ask Luo Ning if she would participate and agree to Leng Ying joining before he responded to Leng Ying.
If Luo Ning was adamant and disagreed with Leng Ying’s participation, he would then tell Leng Ying that there were no spots left.
His interest in Leng Ying was mainly because she was the target of Ling Ge’s pursuit.
As the woman chased by the third generation of a top-tier family who abandoned pursuing Lady Luo, they were naturally curious and wanted to sample the experience as well.
Of course, if the person in question were Luo Ning, they wouldn’t dare—even with ten times the courage—for fear of retaliation from the Luo Family.
Leng Ying was smart; otherwise, she wouldn’t have driven Luo Ning to such a state before.
She instantly understood Qiao An’s plan. Although frustrated and annoyed, she was helpless.
After all, her status was just that of a commoner, while Luo Ning was a direct descendant of a top-tier wealthy family.
She consoled herself, convincing herself that she had only lost at the starting line of birth and that she would definitely surpass them in the future.
Therefore, she must marry Ling Ge.
In the future, according to the books, Ling Ge would replace his father and inherit the Ling Family, becoming the Family Head.
And when she became the Family Head’s Wife of the Ling Family, those third generations still vying for the family inheritance would have to actively come to grovel before her, humph.
She smiled slightly, nodded considerately and appropriately, "Okay, I’ll wait for your news."
On the other side, Bo Xiao was very excited to invite Luo Ning to go shopping.
She had always suspected whether her friend was serious this time, but after seeing the Star Post, she fully believed it.
Of course, this called for a celebration.
