Chapter 106

"Fortune and glory?"

Suddenly, a man holding a wine glass in the corner sneered.

"I think it's a pitiful fate."

As soon as these words were spoken, the private room fell silent, and someone stepped forward to defuse the situation.

"Young Master Cheng, let me help you..."

"Get lost!" The man seemed heavily intoxicated, unable to even distinguish the direction when pushing people. After pushing the air, he stumbled and fell onto the sofa.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help Young Master Cheng to rest!"

"I'm not drunk!" The man forcefully pushed away the supermodel who was trying to help him up, looking at everyone present with a mocking expression.

"What? Are you scared? It's alright, I'm not afraid. My Cheng family has already started settling our assets. What is there to be afraid of?

Today, I'll say it loud and clear: Ji Mochen is nothing but a worthless fool!

If it weren't for the Ji family, with his looks, he would have long become a plaything in the entertainment circle!

A person who always ranked last in exams since childhood, still dares to call himself a top student? Hah!"

"Young Master Cheng." A man who had been quietly sitting in the corner drinking spoke coldly, "Go rest if you're drunk, and stop talking nonsense."

"Nonsense?" The man strained to open his eyes wide and leaned in closer to the speaker's face. After seeing the person's features clearly, he smiled and said,

"Fang Yang, am I talking nonsense? You know it well. Back then, you were the one who couldn't stand him the most, always ridiculing him as a useless person.

What? Scared now? The longer you live, the less courage you have?"

"Cheng Qing, if I'm in a good mood today, don't provoke me to slap you." Fang Yang grabbed his collar, his tone unpleasant.

"Huh? Slap me?" Cheng Qing patted his own face. "Come on then! You, young master Fang, want to hit me? Who dares to stop you?

Come, hit me! Hit me right here!" Seeing the situation becoming increasingly tense, the people present hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two.

"Yang Ge, don't bother arguing with him. Cheng's family has lost in the gambling, and he's frustrated. He doesn't know his own weight."

Before the person could finish advising, Cheng Qing's voice, fearless of death, continued to be heard:

"Oh, I almost forgot. I heard that your son and Ji Mochen's daughter are in the same class now?

Are you planning to... make amends through a marriage alliance with the Ji family?"

Fang Yang put down his wine glass, slowly stood up, fully provoked. The people around him no longer dared to persuade him.

But Cheng Qing, who didn't know any better, continued to make arrogant remarks:

"No, no..."

Cheng Qing shook his dizzy head, a meaningful smile appearing on his face:

"I heard Ji Mochen's daughter looks a lot like the female star you used to keep.

Young Master Fang, are you using the excuse of finding a wife for your son to...?"

The subsequent scenes were thoughtfully masked, but from the chaotic scene and Cheng Qing's painful cries, it was not difficult to imagine what happened next.

Even after the video finished playing, Teacher Lin was still a bit dazed.

Initially, she didn't quite understand how a selection process for the Little i Class had suddenly turned into a scandal about the youthful escapades of the young master of the Fang family. Upon reading the comments below, it's striking how frequently terms like "Tan Ruo" and "financially supported" appear.

[What's wrong with this person? Are they fantasizing about children?]

[The key point is that it also brings up the incident from Tan Ruo's early years. If I remember correctly, it ended with Tan Ruo winning the lawsuit, and the various marketing accounts issuing apologies and compensations, right?]

[Yes, she directly sued them for spreading rumors and damaging her reputation. That woman was incredibly brave. Not only did she win the case, but she also posted the uncut video taken by the paparazzi on the day of the incident, as well as her jam-packed schedule from recent years, on social media.]

"Oh heavens, just talking about this makes me want to cry. At that time, Fang Yang already had a fiancée, and the paparazzi took a photo of them toasting and smiling at each other. They spread rumors that they had a sugar daddy and canary relationship."

"All the online comments were filled with insults towards Tan Ruo, and it negatively impacted all the movies she appeared in. If it weren't for the timely clarification and subsequent victory in court, the compensation alone would have been enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life."

...

Of course, this is just a small portion. Underneath this video, there are even more memories of the turbulent years when the renowned actress and the king of the entertainment industry clashed head-on.

"I remember back when Tan Ruo and Ji Mochen had a falling out, their fan bases engaged in a massive war. Ji Mochen's fans even went as far as insulting his hard-won girlfriend on social media, publicly breaking up with him and threatening, 'If you dare insult my idol, I'll make sure your idol stays single.'"

"Sigh, don't even mention it. At that time, Ji Mochen was incredibly popular, and his fans went crazy. They launched an all-out attack on Tan Ruo, and no matter how hard a few of us prominent fans tried to stop them..."

"What's even more outrageous is that Ji Mochen, for some reason, acted like a tyrant and snatched all of Tan Ruo's endorsement deals just because he couldn't reach Ling Chujin. He even went as far as to say that anyone who dared to endorse Tan Ruo would be considered an enemy of his family."

"And then? And then?" The bystander who missed out on the gossip was eager to know. "Ah, save me! Was the entertainment industry really this exciting back then? It's such a shame I wasn't born at the right time!"

"And then? Umm... and then, Tan Ruo completely ignored it. Right after losing the endorsements, she took the breach of contract compensation given to her by the brand and went on a vacation with Ling Chujin."

"What?!"

"Oh my goodness, what a plot twist! Even television dramas wouldn't dare to depict something like that, right?"

"Not only that, but Ji Mochen had to work hard because he snatched those endorsements. While his wife went on a honeymoon with someone else, he toiled away, exhausted from his job."

"You mean... he paid out of his own pocket for his wife and another woman to go sightseeing and have fun?"

"Exactly!"

"Oh, this is hilarious!"

"Hahaha..."

"Goodness, so Ji Mochen was a visible 'sugar daddy' all the way back then?"

...

Apart from that, the remaining topics revolved around a few things that must be mentioned about Fang Yang and Tan Ruo in the past.

"So, is Fang Yang really infatuated with Tan Ruo? Couldn't marry her, so he let his son marry a substitute, and then he himself indulges in the sight at home?"

"What a lunatic! Tan Ruo is only five years old. Can't you put away these filthy thoughts?"

"Don't blame us. It's the entertainment industry that exposed it."

"I remember that the reason Fang Yang and Tan Ruo had a scandal was because when Tan Ruo couldn't get endorsements, Fang Yang provided her with resources. They often met, and everyone in the industry knew that the Fang family was protecting her. So even when Ji Mochen blacklisted Tan Ruo, it didn't affect her."

"Is that so? I thought Ji Mochen didn't dare to make a move because of his wife."

"That might be a reason, but I think Tan Ruo is also so stubborn because she has the backing of the Fang family. After all, the Ling family's position in the industry is naturally not comparable to the Ji family."

"So... do they really have an affair?"

"You're damn crazy! You guys really come up with outrageous rumors."

"Do you want me to repost the winning lawsuit from back then?"

After reading this series of news, Teacher Lin's face turned pale.

Even though she was just a kindergarten teacher, she could sense that something was wrong from the trend of public opinion.

In just a few hours, the internet was filled with insults towards the father and daughter.

The other party clearly came for the Ji family, but it's unclear whether they were after Ji Mochen or had other motives...
