My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 773 - 691: Continue the Smear Campaign

The assistant, Yu, glanced at the speaker and replied with a perfunctory smile, "Why aren’t you staying by Hua Tiantian’s side? Aren’t you worried she might be upset?"

"Worried about what? Our Tian Tian has a great temperament. It’s fine. Got nothing to do anyway, so why not chat for a bit?"

The brisk tone stirred up a feeling of envy in Yu. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Normally, serving by Huang Shan’s side meant constantly minding her words and actions. Plus, lately Huang Shan had been targeting Hua Tiantian out of personal motives and pettiness. But Hua Tiantian’s focus remained on her acting, never genuinely retaliating against Huang Shan. The more Yu thought about it, the more pointless everything seemed.

"Why the long face?"

"Who’s got a long face?"

Between their conversation, Hua Tiantian wrapped up a scene and walked over. Spotting the two assistants chatting idly, she caught on and gave them a playful wink.

The assistant understood the gesture, smiled casually and said, "Let’s chat another time. I’ll head over now."

Yu’s gaze lingered on Hua Tiantian, who was mingling effortlessly with her own artist. Hua Tiantian’s thoughtful nature deeply impressed her—just that alone was enough to make Yu feel envious. Turning back to Huang Shan with her perpetually stern face, Yu instinctively braced herself.

"Sister Shan, looks like we’ve hit a dead end here."

Yu handed over the gathered information piece by piece and forwarded the censored chat records to Huang Shan’s phone. After reviewing, there were no tangible leads. Frustrated, Huang Shan pondered—things seemed increasingly suspicious the harder it was to uncover. After some thought, she decided to directly call a somewhat well-known paparazzo in the industry.

"This is Huang Shan. There’s something I’d like to ask you for a favor."

Deep down, Huang Shan couldn’t calm herself. Her mind was restless and unsettled. Holding her phone, she distanced herself from the set and went to the makeup room to discuss the matter privately.

"So you’re saying the person must be someone who knows me... Could you be more specific?" Huang Shan found the other person’s words vague, and she cautiously kept an eye on her surroundings. Suddenly, she said, "You don’t need to tell me who it is directly. Just tell me how I can find this person, and that’ll be enough."

Listening carefully, it seemed like the other party was unwilling to reveal too much. Huang Shan began to wonder—could the person be someone powerful, connected, and influential in the entertainment industry? Otherwise, why was it impossible to pry anything out of them?

Examining the person’s gaze and weighing the situation seriously, Huang Shan couldn’t help but think, "If you can only stop here, I won’t push you further. I’ll figure this out myself."

She hung up and started pacing in place, staring at her feet, immersed in her thoughts.

"There are plenty of people who know me... I know plenty of people too... Who’s most likely to hold a grudge against me? Narrowing down this list is really no easy task."

Meanwhile, Hua Tiantian glanced at her script while answering Lin Xiaoxiao’s phone call. Amid the chatter, it was clear there was more than one person on the other end. Curious, she asked, "Sister Xiao Xiao, who’s that singing beauty beside you?"

"Lin Jiaojiao! Will you calm down? Ugh... She’s in a good mood today and accidentally had too much to drink. Tian Tian, I called to remind you—don’t forget about this weekend’s gathering. If you don’t show up, I swear I’ll barge into your set and hunt you down."

"Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten. I even saved it in my phone’s notes—pretty sure my phone will start buzzing with reminders about the gathering from early morning onwards."
