Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 643

Chapter 643 Keen to Rise to the Top

Country J had always been liberal towards sexual relationships. This time, as Muchen had said, Hanyan and Carlos had committed a heinous and distasteful act, and the people there had condemned them.

Meanwhile, there was a minority who had openly expressed a carnal interest in Hanyan.

Ziyue thought Gricy would pressure Hanyan to retire from the entertainment industry and the public eye after this incident. But to her dismay, not only did Hanyan not quit, but she leveraged the scandal to increase her exposure. She was no different from those washed-up celebrities who wanted to get ahead faster.

"Ms. Hanyan, regarding this incident, do you have anything you'd like to clarify?"

"No, I don't. There's nothing wrong with having s*x. I didn't break any laws or hurt anyone. What's there to clarify?" Hanyan smiled and tousled her hair. Her blatant attitude left the reporters speechless.

A reporter wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and asked, "But have you considered the feelings of your fans looking forward to your return?"

"I believe my fans who love me would embrace everything I do. Besides, I don't think I've done anything unforgivable..." Hanyan said, looking away from the reporter and smiling at the camera. "Personally, I think there's no need to concern ourselves with other people's opinions. In all things, we should follow our hearts and be true to ourselves."

Meanwhile, Ziyue was scrutinizing the unabashed Hanyan through her computer screen. Suddenly, cursing sounded behind her.

"F*** her 'be true to ourselves' nonsense! She acts like a b**** and dares to act righteous!"

Ziyue turned around and saw Ke, who she didn't know had come in.

"Why are you here?" Their jobs at the company didn't overlap much, so Ke usually didn't come to find her during work hours.

Ke pouted and took a deep breath before speaking, "Mr. Qin asked me to accompany you for lunch before he left the office. I came to ask you what you wanted to have."

Ziyue suddenly remembered.

Not long after arriving at the office in the morning, Muchen said he had to go out with Chuan for a matter. She was busy organizing things then and stumbled upon news about Hanyan on the Internet. So, she didn't notice what Muchen was saying. It turned out he was telling her to have lunch with Ke.

Thinking of this, she looked at the time and frowned, "But it's still early."

Ke smiled and said, "That's why I came and asked you first, so I can make arrangements."

"No worries. It's just lunch, and I'm not picky like Muchen. I can eat at the cafeteria downstairs." She didn't have any food preferences.

Ziyue felt resigned at the fact that Muchen still treated her like a child. He even roped in Ke to have lunch with her because he was away...

Ke immediately shook her head, "No way. I'll make a reservation at one of the nearby restaurants. Let's go together after work."

Muchen had specifically instructed Ke to take Ziyue out for lunch before he went out.

Ke looked at her woefully. Ziyue didn't say much and just nodded.

After finalizing their lunch date, Ke told her about Hanyan.

"I always thought Hanyan was mean and slu*ty. At least she still cared and toned down her brazen act last time, but now she's completely unbridled and unscrupulous."

Ziyue didn't say anything, her gaze fixed on Hanyan's smiling face on the computer screen.

Who would have thought?

How did Hanyan land herself in such a mess?

Perhaps Hanyan herself was clueless that she would become a notorious figure.

But who was to be blamed?

After Ke left, Ziyue read through the online comments, most of which were criticizing Hanyan and calling her a sl*t.

It had become a trending topic with continuously soaring numbers of comments.

Ziyue used to run Yanyue Media and was well-versed in the entertainment industry.

If Hanyan didn't mind her reputation and only craved popularity, she had certainly succeeded. But her objective was tainted with dishonor.

Women who were models and actresses but were, in fact, working as escorts and those washed-up actresses would do anything to achieve fame. Still, they could never pull a fast one on the seasoned professionals in the industry.

Hanyan seemed adamant and had staked everything to achieve her goal, or she could've been pressured to do that.

As the saying forewarned, the worm turns, let alone someone like Hanyan who had turned her back on kindness.

Ziyue closed the video and fell into deep thought.

At noon, Ziyue and Ke went to lunch at a restaurant. Ke had booked the best restaurant near the office. They bumped into many acquaintances there.

Ke had reserved a table by the window. She handed Ziyue the menu upon seating, "Mrs. Qin, please order."

Ziyue took the menu. Looking up, she saw Hanyan and her group walking in from the door.

She was snuggling in the arms of a man, with her assistant and agent following behind them.

Despite being the latest hot topic, Hanyan had the audacity to appear in public. Clearly, she was hoping to attract more attention from the media.

Plus...

Ziyue carefully examined the man next to Hanyan. Although they were far away, Ziyue was sure the man wasn't Carlos.

Was this her gambit to affirm her title as a sl*t?

Ziyue furrowed and was about to avert her gaze, but Hanyan was already looking in their direction.

A hint of abashment flashed across Hanyan's face when their eyes met. It was then replaced by a cold expression. Her eyes were burning with hatred as she glared at Ziyue.

Ziyue ignored her gaze and casually lowered her head to read the menu.

By logic, Hanyan should not have found out about her baiting Carlos. Well, at least not yet. Carlos didn't know who Ziyue was, so Hanyan must have been very troubled in the past few days and wouldn't have the capacity to figure it out yet.

Why is the hatred in Hanyan's eyes even more profound than before? Is she blaming me for something again? This is getting interesting.

Even though Hanyan didn't know she had a hand in this, she still attributed her misfortunes to Ziyue's fault. It looked like their entanglement was far from over.

Well, so be it. Ziyue had no intention of letting Hanyan off so easily.

As she flipped through the menu, she unconsciously tightened her grip. There was no need to back down from someone like Hanyan, and she didn't expect her to repent.
