When Mu Feng learned about these things, his first reaction was that Li Na had done it. Since she came to the venue not long ago, quite a few things had popped up.
He stormed into Li Na's room angrily and demanded, "Did you do this!"
Li Na, who was having a meal, was confused. "What did I do?"
"Don't play dumb with me! Besides you, no one else could have done this! I don't like you. I'll never be with you in my whole life. Do you understand what I'm saying? You know my temper. If you dare to have any more dirty thoughts, I won't spare you."
"Are you angry because people at the venue are saying that Meng Nianchu, a married woman, is still trying to seduce other men?"
Li Na suddenly said as Mu Feng turned around and walked towards the door.
Seeing his steps falter, Li Na sneered mockingly, "We've been together for two years and known each other for two years. How long have you known Meng Nianchu! Did she tell you that I did this? Did she also say that I bullied her and that I'm shameless?"
"Mu Feng, can you use your head? Do you think I would do something that would get you involved in a scandal!"
"You've done such things before," Mu Feng replied coldly. "You know very well whether you did this and what your purpose is. I don't have the patience to talk to you so much. If there's a next time, I will never let you off!"
"I..."
"Also!"
Mu Feng interrupted her forcefully, "If you ever have any bad thoughts about Meng Nianchu or say something nasty to her, I won't spare you!"
"Do you like her that much!"
Watching the man who once cherished her the most withdraw his care and love for her and instead protect another woman again and again, how could she possibly accept such a huge gap?
Li Na was almost on the verge of collapse.
Mu Feng left without looking back.
Such indifference was more hurtful than even a single word of explanation. Li Na slumped onto the chair and burst into tears.
The door of the room was not closed. As the staff passed by in the corridor and saw Li Na crying so bitterly, they couldn't help but wonder what had happened to her.
Shameful things could never be hidden in public. Li Na's ugly scene of crying without any regard for her image spread to Linda's ears within just a few minutes.
The female makeup artist who was doing Linda's makeup said proudly, "I heard that Mu Feng thought it was Li Na who first spread bad words about Meng Nianchu at the venue and caused trouble. He had a big fight with her."
"Mu Feng usually seems so smart, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid in this matter. It's obvious to anyone with eyes that Li Na likes you. How could she do such a thing? No wonder he's being gossiped about now."
Hearing what the makeup artist said, a look of pride flashed across Linda's eyes. She glanced at the female makeup artist and said softly, "You did a great job on this. If you hadn't taken the initiative to mention the special relationship between Mu Feng and Meng Nianchu among the crowd, maybe no one would have thought of it."
"What about my daughter..."
Without waiting for the female makeup artist to finish, Linda said, "Don't worry. I'll definitely find someone to get your daughter into an international school. It's just a small thing. I can handle it with just a few words."
Hearing the definite answer from Linda, the female makeup artist was extremely grateful and quickly offered another idea, "I guess Li Na hates Meng Nianchu to death. If you, Miss Linda, could join her to deal with Meng Nianchu at this time, would she still be so arrogant at the venue?"
These words inspired Linda. The curve of her lips became even bigger and she let out a soft laugh.
Meng Nianchu, your good days are over!
No one would have expected that the real culprit behind the scandal was leisurely doing her makeup and preparing for the next plan.
In the evening, when the staff went to the canteen for dinner, there were almost no people in the corridor. Linda came back early after dinner and pushed open the door of Li Na's room.
Just as she had expected, the meal that Li Na's assistant had bought for her was still on the table, untouched. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying.
Linda sat down on the chair and put her arms around Li Na lovingly, saying, "Why are you crying so badly? Did someone bully you at the venue?"
Not having any impression of this person, Li Na quickly suppressed her grievances and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"
"It's nothing much," Linda said with a kind smile. "I just heard outside that the new arranger was crying very sadly in her room. I thought that since we're all colleagues and you're new here, I was afraid that you might be feeling homesick or uncomfortable, so I came to check on you."
Li Na remained cold. She took out a tissue and wiped the tears from her face, then gave a soft grunt.
Linda started a conversation, "That Meng Nianchu is really something. I just saw her talking with two other staff members at the venue about you crying in your room. You're already so sad, but they're still laughing at you. It's really unkind of them."
Hearing the name "Meng Nianchu" from her mouth, Li Na looked up at her.
Linda continued, "I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went over to say a few words for you. Who would have thought that Meng Nianchu would come up and say that I was being nosy. During that time, Mu Feng passed by her, and she directly grabbed his arm. It was really intimate."
Hearing this, Li Na's face darkened significantly.
Linda secretly laughed in her heart but pretended to be innocent on the surface, "I also heard that Mu Feng misunderstood that it was you who spread the scandal about Meng Nianchu. It was actually Meng Nianchu who was behind it that made him misunderstand. I didn't expect that Meng Nianchu, who seems so innocent on the surface, actually has so many bad intentions. It's really unexpected."
"She's not just full of bad intentions. She's just shameless!" Li Na slapped the table hard.
Even the lunch box on the table shook.
This huge reaction startled Linda so much that her whole body trembled. She warmly held Li Na's hand and said, "Don't say such things. She's been at the venue longer than you and knows more people here. You can just talk to me about it here. Don't tell others."
Not liking to be so enthusiastic with others, Li Na withdrew her hand. The image of Meng Nianchu flashed through her mind, and she was filled with anger.
"Such a woman is really annoying. She's already married but still won't let go of other men. She's a slut! If I really had the chance to frame her, I wouldn't just spread rumors so simply!"
Having successfully lured Li Na into her trap, Linda lowered her head and curled her lips. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the lyrics on one side and said, "Isn't this the lyrics of Meng Nianchu's group?"
Hearing her, Li Na realized it later and quickly put away the lyrics.
Linda pretended to say casually, "You must keep these lyrics well. I heard that in a previous variety show, because the mentor plagiarized the lyrics, she was not only disliked by all the audience but also not allowed by the director to participate in the show anymore. If Meng Nianchu were to be charged with this crime, wouldn't she be ruined?"
