The President Made Me Trend

When Lu Yucheng’s family returned to the hotel, Little Bun quickly fell asleep. Lu Yucheng sat on the sofa flipping through channels, but every news segment seemed to be reporting on Shen Meng’s scandal as a homewrecker, which made him quite annoyed.

Just as he was about to switch channels again, Mo Qinghuan emerged from the bathroom, her hair still damp. The glistening water droplets on her fair skin made her look even more alluring.

“Shen Meng has only herself to blame for being greedy and provoking Li Pengyuan’s family,” she said, turning off the TV with the remote and continuing to dry her hair.

It was said that Li Pengyuan was originally an unremarkable worker who turned his life around thanks to Mrs. Li. His business success was largely due to her support, proving that Mrs. Li, despite her gentle appearance, was a formidable character. There was no way she would stand by and watch Shen Meng interfere in her marriage.

Lu Yucheng stood up and took the towel from her hands, gently helping her dry her hair. A sly, cold smile flashed across his handsome face. “Whoever tipped off Mrs. Li did a great service. Shen Meng needs a wake-up call. Li Pengyuan was only playing with her. Without Mrs. Li, he would be nothing. There’s no way he would give up his wealth and status for Shen Meng.”

From the first time he met Li Pengyuan, Lu Yucheng felt he could see through the man’s intentions. Perhaps it was due to his years of experience in the business world, or maybe Li Pengyuan’s own aura of moral corruption was just that evident.

“People like her don’t deserve sympathy,” Mo Qinghuan said with a smirk. Despite Shen Meng’s previous attempts to slander her in the media, she was now the one with a tarnished reputation. What goes around comes around, and Shen Meng should repent for her mistakes.

Gradually, Lu Yucheng’s hands became more adventurous as he dried her hair, roaming from her cheeks to her neck. His large hands slipped inside her robe, exploring further.

This time, Mo Qinghuan didn’t resist. Her breathing became rapid as she leaned into his embrace, feeling as though every cell in her body was ignited. She shivered, and seeing this, Lu Yucheng could no longer hold back. He carried her to the sofa, his strong body pressing down on hers. He undid her robe, kissing every inch of her exposed skin.

Breathing heavily with desire, he said, “We’re already married, Qinghuan. I want you now.”

“Mm,” she murmured, biting her lip. Her breathless response was more of a moan than an agreement. Overcome with desire, Lu Yucheng quickly removed their clothes and entered her deeply, both of them moaning in pleasure.

Mo Qinghuan gripped the sofa beneath her, her hands seemingly trying to tear through the fabric. The comfort Lu Yucheng brought her was beyond words. She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing his cheeks and lips, encouraging him to take them to even greater heights.

Finally, exhausted, he collapsed on top of her, both of them panting as they held each other. After about half a minute, he got up and kissed her lips. Seeing her resting with her eyes closed, he possessively wrapped his arms around her and carried her back to the bathroom. Mo Qinghuan couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. Her hair wasn’t even dry yet, and now she had to wash it all over again.

Meanwhile, Shen Meng, having brought her downfall upon herself, found no work willing to hire her after the scandal broke. Desperate, she had to rely on her savings, which were meager because she had always believed her beauty would secure her a place in high society, even if she left showbiz. Her savings quickly ran out, and she had no choice but to seek help from Li Pengyuan. She called him repeatedly, but he didn’t answer. Undeterred, she kept calling until he finally picked up. However, the voice on the other end was not Li Pengyuan’s but a woman’s, calm yet menacing:

“Miss Shen, thanks to my connections, you’re quite famous now. I didn’t expect you’d still be thinking about my husband. I heard you haven’t been seen in public much lately because you can’t get any roles. Are you calling to ask my husband for money?”

“Are you Li Pengyuan’s wife?” Shen Meng was initially stunned. Realizing that Mrs. Li had orchestrated her downfall, she was furious, her body trembling with rage. Clenching the phone, she shouted, “You despicable woman! Do you know how much you’ve ruined my life? How will you compensate for the damage to my reputation?”

Damn Mrs. Li! Shen Meng wished she could kill the woman who had set her up and drag her to hell with her!

Mrs. Li scoffed, “Compensate? What about my broken family, Miss Shen? How will you compensate for that? I warn you, your current situation is your own doing. I merely gave the media some photos they were interested in. If you dare contact my husband again, my retaliation will be far worse than just ruining your reputation!”

Mrs. Li hung up, leaving Shen Meng listening to the dial tone. Enraged, she smashed her phone to the ground. Her chest felt like it was on fire, making it hard to breathe.

With no protection from Li Pengyuan and no job offers, Shen Meng had to contact directors she had worked with before. Unfortunately, everyone knew about her scandal, so lead roles were out of the question. The best she could get were minor parts.

Just as she was about to lose hope, an unfamiliar director approached her with an olive branch. “Miss Shen, I have a film about to start production, and I think the lead role suits you perfectly. Are you interested?”

In the café, the director’s lecherous eyes roamed over Shen Meng, who was heavily disguised. A mocking smile played on his lips. After her scandal, her image had plummeted. Once revered as a pure goddess by her fans, she was now seen as a homewrecking harlot. Her current disguise was likely to avoid being recognized and ridiculed in public.

Hearing the offer of a lead role, Shen Meng was intrigued but couldn’t relax under the director’s gaze. She frowned and asked, “Have you seen the recent news about me? Are you sure you’re not just messing with me by offering me the lead role?”
