After Xiao Tian left in a huff, Shi Yu slowly walked out from the corner.

‘These people were Shi Yu’s trusted aides in the company. They immediately nodded respectfully at Shi Yu.

Shi Yu kept his face expressionless. However, his face turned dark as he watched Xiao Tian leave.

The Hua Mulan film set.

Fang Mo’er had just come back from the film set.

Just as she was about to take out her phone, she saw Xiao Tian walk in angrily.

She told Fang Mo’er everything that she had heard at the company. “Sister Fang, all these people are saying this. Isn’t it…”

Xiao Tian glanced at Fang Mo’er carefully.

Fang Mo’er frowned and scrolled to the message that she had received earlier.

On it was still the same photo of Xue Ni seeing Shi Mo off at the airport.

Xiao Tian widened her eyes and pointed at the photo in disbelief. “How could this be?”

She had thought that based on Fang Mo’er’s relationship with Shi Mo, what those people had said were merely rumors.

But now, it seemed like..

Xiao Tian looked at Fang Mo’er worriedly and covered her mouth. Her eyes were wide open and she did not know what to say.

However, she realized that Fang Mo’er’s eyes were cold and emotionless.

In the next second, Fang Mo’er opened her WeChat and sent a message to Shi Mo.

Very quickly, Shi Mo replied, “Xue Ni? I didn’t see her at the airport. What’s wrong?”

Shi Mo happened to be on a business trip today. He had not expected Fang Mo’er to ask such a question and was suddenly filled with doubts.

Immediately, Fang Mo’er replied, “It’s nothing.”

Shi Mo touched his chin and thought that Fang Mo’er was still concerned about Xue Ni. He smiled at the thought. Could it be that she was jealous?

After receiving his reply, Fang Mo’er slowly put away her phone.

She turned to Xiao Tian and asked, “How did you hear those words?”

Xiao Tian told her about the incident that had happened when she had walked out of Shen Yue’s office and turned a corner.

Fang Mo’er frowned. “This is too much of a coincidence.”

How coincidentally was it that someone was gossiping about Shi Mo in the corridor at work? Did they not want to work anymore?

Furthermore, someone had also sent her this photo.

However, when she had asked Shi Mo about it, he had said that he was on a business trip and had not met Xue Ni.

So, had someone taken this photo when Shi Mo was not paying attention? Or was it a photo from a long time ago?

Xiao Tian listened to Fang Mo’er’s analysis and felt puzzled. “So, you’re saying that someone deliberately spread this kind of news to us?”

Who could it be?

Fang Mor shook her head, not having any clue.

She did not know who the person behind the scenes was either.

However, Fang Mo’er deliberately sent a few question mark emojis as a reply.

Xiao Tian watched Fang Mo’er’s actions throughout the entire process. When Fang Mor had finished replying, she muted her phone. She then stood up and said, still have scenes to film. If there’s any movement, don’t show any signs of doubt. Wait for me to handle it.”

Xiao Tian’s eyes were filled with admiration.

‘This move of stopping the action with silence was extremely brilliant.

Perhaps, the people behind the scenes would think that Fang Mo’er had really taken it seriously and would feel smug.

On the other end, Shi Yu was still wandering around the office when his phone vibrated.

It was a message from a new phone number.

‘There was only one possibility for this phone to receive any messages.

Shi Yu immediately looked around and realized that no one was paying attention to him. He then walked into the office, closed the door, and took his phone out to check.

Fang Mor had merely replied with a few question marks.

Looking at these question marks, Shi Yu’s heart began to race.

He could imagine Fang Mo’er frowning, feeling jealous or angry.

‘Was Fang Mo’er wavering? Had she taken the bait?

Previously, every time Shi Yu had tried to test Fang Mo’er, Fang Mo’er would behave magnanimously, unwavering in her faith in Shi Mo.

Now, it seemed that it was just a facade.

After all, there were too many people who coveted someone like Shi Mo.

How could Fang Mo’er be at ease?

‘When he had told Fang Mo‘er that he would help her chase away the woman beside Shi Mo, Fang Mo’er had tacitly agreed.

He rubbed his chin and let out a cold laugh. He had not expected that things would be so much easier than he had imagined.

He opened WeChat and sent a message to Xue Ni.

As he typed, his eyes lit up. “She’s taken the bait. You can proceed to the next step.”

Shi Yu lowered his head and looked at the messages that continued to appear on the glowing screen. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his entire being relaxed.
