My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 754 - 672: Scandal
"Breaking news: Actress Hua Tiantian is rumored to have a new romantic relationship with a married man, reportedly the president of an entertainment company."
There were always headline stories every day, but hearing one coming out of the assistant’s mouth was rare. She stood there dumbfounded, staring at Hua Tiantian, who was changing clothes not far away. Her heart skipped a beat.
"That’s strange. Where did this news come from? It’s practically like it dropped out of nowhere."
The assistant, mumbling to herself, kept her eyes on Hua Tiantian, who was walking over. She quickly stuffed her phone back into her pocket, her expression shifting subtly, as if she were intoxicated by something.
"What were you muttering about just now?"
"Oh, nothing. I was just skimming through some gossip news. It wasn’t even interesting."
Hua Tiantian scrutinized her with suspicion, then followed up, "I don’t believe you. If it wasn’t interesting, why did you stare at it for so long? And were you sneaking glances at me just now?"
"Who’s sneaking glances at you? Stop imagining things."
"Really? Are you saying you didn’t steal a glance at me just now?"
With a determined look as if she wouldn’t let the subject go, Hua Tiantian pressed on, "Was it about Chu Xin again? Come on, spill it. You practically squinted at your phone. Whose gossip is it this time?"
"No one you’d know. Just an online influencer."
"Even influencers have their rankings, you know."
Hua Tiantian’s relentless questioning worried the assistant, who quickly came up with an excuse: "Stop getting sidetracked. The sooner we start, the sooner we finish. And don’t forget, you have dinner booked with President Meng this afternoon."
"Oh, I completely forgot. Did you make the reservation?" Hua Tiantian suddenly spaced out and then snapped back to the present.
Patting her chest, she reassured confidently, "I made the reservation yesterday. Don’t worry."
The assistant, anxious that Hua Tiantian might see the news, quickly called the agency to report the situation. To her surprise, the company was already investigating the timing and origin of the article and had uncovered that the rumor was deliberately fabricated by someone.
She decided to keep tight-lipped about this with Hua Tiantian. Quietly, she took Hua Tiantian’s phone and stashed it away, making a special effort to see if anyone else was aware of the gossip.
"It’s so strange. Both female leads in our crew keep having scandals. What’s going on?"
"Who knows? A few days ago, Huang Shan had a major scandal break out. And now, I just opened my phone and saw Hua Tiantian’s news. It’s all so baffling."
"Right? Could it be some kind of publicity stunt?"
"Who would use negative scandals as promotion? From the way people are gossiping about them, it’s clearly not doing them any favors."
A few staff members chatted animatedly among themselves. Hua Tiantian overheard them from afar, curiosity rising within her as she caught snippets of their conversation, sensing something was off.
"Did you guys see today’s headline?"
"I didn’t pay attention to the headline, but I did see something in the trending searches. It’s related to Hua Tiantian."
"Yeah, I saw it too. So strange. Did Huang Shan and Hua Tiantian recently offend some bigwig? One scandal after another, it’s relentless."
Hua Tiantian was in the restroom when she overheard people talking. At first, she was shocked, then dazed, unable to comprehend what they were saying. Reaching into her pocket and realizing her phone wasn’t there, she figured it must be with her assistant. So, she sharpened her ears and listened intently.
"No kidding. I checked online, and the second-ranking gossip is about Hua Tiantian. It’s saying the entertainment company’s president mentioned—isn’t that Mr. Meng, who came last time?"
