The President Made Me Trend

A mysterious big shot?

Mo Qinghuan and Huo-Jie exchanged glances, both aware that ever since Shen Meng’s scandal of meddling in someone else’s marriage became public, she had willingly sunk into attending various social gatherings to sustain herself. She must have met quite a few influential figures during those events, but who would have thought someone would actually step up to help her when she was in trouble?

Before leaving, the chief assured Mo Qinghuan, “Miss Mo, rest assured, our police will not give up on investigating this matter. As soon as we have new evidence, we will certainly summon Miss Shen again.”

“Thank you, Chief, for your concern,” Huo-Jie, ever the socialite, was naturally the one to express gratitude.

After leaving the Police Station, Huo-Jie remarked to Mo Qinghuan, whose face was stiff, “Who would have thought Shen Meng actually had some tricks up her sleeve? Just when the case was about to be filed, someone came to her rescue? Hmph! She got lucky this time. Don’t worry, Qinghuan, I’ll have the private detective continue investigating. Once we gather more evidence, not even the gods will be able to save her!”

“Huo-Jie, who do you think is the mysterious big shot who immediately knew Shen Meng was in trouble and sent a lawyer to help?” Mo Qinghuan felt the situation was more complicated than it seemed.

“Could it be Li Pengyuan?” Huo-Jie joked. Ever since his ambiguous relationship with Shen Meng was discovered by his wife, Mrs. Li had used her shares in the company and her status as his spouse to completely control the business. Li Pengyuan was like a grasshopper, unable to escape Mrs. Li’s grasp. Even if Shen Meng tried her charms again, he probably wouldn’t dare make a move now.

“Forget it, I hope I’m just overthinking it. Huo-Jie, it’s getting late, take me home,” Mo Qinghuan also believed this matter couldn’t be related to Li Pengyuan. But the men Shen Meng met at those gatherings were likely just fleeting encounters; would they really step up to protect her?

After Huo-Jie dropped Mo Qinghuan off at the Lu family home and gave a few reminders, she left feeling assured. However, when she returned to the living room, exhaustedly sat on the sofa, and opened her phone to contact Lu Yucheng, she was drawn to a news headline.

The headline boldly stated that Shen Meng was wrongfully accused and framed, and that Mo Qinghuan was the one responsible, demanding Mo Qinghuan publicly apologize. Otherwise, she would be unable to lift her head in Showbiz.

Below were comments from netizens who didn’t bother to discern the truth: “It’s terrifying, Shen Meng has been so miserably harmed by Mo Qinghuan, yet she still won’t let her go, even accusing her of hiring a hitman?”

“The one who did wrong is clearly Mo Qinghuan; she should step up and give Shen Meng justice. What good is being the Best Actress in Showbiz? With a tarnished reputation, chaotic private life, and despicable behavior, we don’t need such an actress!”

Comment after comment made Mo Qinghuan find it laughable. She smirked coldly, realizing that the habit of following trends in Showbiz was something that would never change.

Mo Qinghuan was determined not to let Shen Meng spread rumors about her. She promptly uploaded the evidence online, and the video quickly garnered over a million views. Mo Qinghuan even left a comment on Shen Meng’s social media, saying, “If you’re innocent, you have nothing to fear. I don’t know which big shot spent a fortune to bail you out of the Police Station, but if you keep up your antics, you’ll end up living in prison for the rest of your life!”

Mo Qinghuan also instructed her lawyer to file a lawsuit against Shen Meng for invasion of privacy. Shen Meng, however, was blissfully unaware of this development. She was busy celebrating with a few shady friends, feeling smug about the news she had spread about Mo Qinghuan online.

At the party, a third-rate actress raised her glass to Shen Meng, flattering her, “Women like Mo Qinghuan should have been kicked out of showbiz long ago. Shen Meng-Jie, you’ve really done something big this time. Let’s raise our glasses and toast to Shen Meng-Jie!”

“To Shen Meng-Jie,” the others chimed in, eagerly lifting their glasses. Shen Meng, who hadn’t been showered with such flattery in a long time, was naturally pleased.

After a few drinks, she scoffed, “Mo Qinghuan thinks she can go against me? Ha, what a joke. This time I just gave her a little lesson. If she dares to provoke me again, I’ll make her suffer!”

“That’s right, anyone who goes against Shen Meng-Jie goes against us. Don’t worry, Shen Meng-Jie, we’re always on your side,” the group continued to toast her.

Just as Shen Meng was basking in the praise, someone opened their phone and suddenly saw a video about Shen Meng. After watching it, their face turned pale. They showed the video to the others, and Shen Meng, despite being slightly intoxicated, noticed their uneasy expressions. Without hesitation, she snatched the phone and said:

“What’s got you all scared? What kind of video is it? Let me see.”

She opened the video, which showed Shen Meng bribing reporters to ambush Mo Qinghuan at the hospital and secretly film evidence of her alleged affair. Shen Meng sobered up considerably and demanded, “Where did you get this video?”

“Shen Meng-Jie, the video is on all major websites now, and it’s been viewed millions of times. You can find it on any webpage,” a friend explained, intimidated by Shen Meng’s icy glare, and informed her that Mo Qinghuan had uploaded the video.

Shen Meng also saw Mo Qinghuan’s comment on social media. In a fit of rage, she smashed her phone on the ground and shouted, “Mo Qinghuan dares to slander me?”

“Shen Meng-Jie, now’s not the time for anger. You need to think of a way to handle this,” a friend advised, trying to bring her back to her senses.

Feigning calm, Shen Meng said, “Don’t worry, even if Mo Qinghuan released this video, half of the netizens are still supporting me. She hasn’t won yet.”

Shen Meng was preparing to retaliate. To her, her reputation was already tarnished, and a public spat might not be a bad thing. At least it could boost her notoriety.

Just as she was about to post something, the doorbell rang unexpectedly. Annoyed, she asked a friend to answer it. But when her friend opened the door, they were shocked to see two men in uniforms standing there. The friend quickly called out, “Shen Meng-Jie, you should come and see this.”

“Who is it? What’s the hassle?” Shen Meng grumbled as she walked out of the room. The two Court officials handed her a summons and reminded her:

“The court date is in two weeks, Miss Shen. Please make sure not to miss it.”

“What court date? What does this summons mean?” Shen Meng was completely bewildered. She hurriedly stopped one of the men, her face turning pale as she questioned him.

Fortunately, the official patiently explained, “Miss Mo has filed a lawsuit against you for invasion of privacy. We’re here to deliver the summons and inform you of the court date. If there’s nothing else, we’ll be on our way.”

Watching the two uniformed men leave, Shen Meng’s eyes were filled with disbelief and fear. Mo Qinghuan had actually sued her?
