Chapter 70: Li Manman’s Husband

The hospital required silence, so although the crew members followed Song Hui to the outpatient building, after coordinating with the reception and security, only two people were allowed to follow with mobile phones for live streaming. All other equipment was left in the vehicles.

Without multiple camera angles, the livestream quality from the phones wasn’t very clear, but the viewership of Yan Yueqing and Qin Youran’s broadcasts continued to skyrocket.

The other guests who stayed behind in Neijia Town were shocked to hear the news from their team members. Though it didn’t bother most of them, since they were just supporting cast and never expected to win, Li Manman was furious!

Turning her back to the cameras, she left Li Hao behind to dig up radishes and, under the pretence of needing a break, secretly snuck into a small grove.

“Hello? Hubby…” Li Manman spoke into her phone in a sickeningly sweet voice. “Why haven’t you been answering my calls lately~”

Director Yang was already upset about the volatile stock prices, so when he heard Li Manman’s intentionally coquettish tone, he snapped, “Li Manman, don’t call me ‘hubby’ when you’re on the phone!”

Li Manman knew about his wife’s temperament. “Director Yang, are you worried your wife might answer? Don’t worry~ If she hears a woman’s voice, I won’t use any pet names at all. I only called you that just now because I couldn’t resist after hearing your powerful voice.”

Flattery works wonders in any situation. Director Yang’s mood improved slightly. “What is it?”

Li Manman said coquettishly, “Hubby, what’s going on with Yan Yueqing? Has the company decided to promote her? Also, since I joined this show, I’ve noticed the script has been changed messily, and almost everyone is especially friendly to Yan Yueqing… Why aren’t they following your instructions to promote me anymore?”

The news that Jun Corporation was backing Yan Yueqing hit the upper echelons of the entertainment industry like a deep-water bomb, jolting them awake. When it came to Jun Corporation… who would dare to speak carelessly outside?

Director Yang naturally hadn’t mentioned any of this to Li Manman. Combined with the recent stock issues, he was seething. “The company has its reasons for the decisions it makes. If you don’t want to stay on the show, just get back to the residential area early.”

Recalling how Director Tang had exposed Li Manman’s visit to the gynecology department, he grew even angrier. “Also, how many people know about your abortion? I told you to handle it discreetly. Why does even Director Tang know about it?”

“What?” Li Manman was terrified, her face turning pale with fear!

She had gained her fame by sleeping her way up and hadn’t yet established a firm footing. Being caught with such a fatal weakness scared her more than anyone else.

“Hubby, I specifically wore sunglasses and a mask when I went to the hospital. No one should have recognized me! This matter… apart from myself, even my family doesn’t know! If anyone knows… it must be my agent, Liu Minjun! Think about it, she has control over all my affairs. Could she have deliberately leaked the information to curry favor with Director Tang?”

Fearing Director Yang wouldn’t believe her, Li Manman hastily added, “Hubby, I’m different from other women! They approach you for money! But I truly like you… I do whatever you say… If this gets out, you’ll definitely abandon me! My career as a celebrity would be over too… How could I possibly have revealed it on purpose?”

This wasn’t untrue. Li Manman was indeed obedient, and moreover, if this matter came out, it would only harm her with no benefits.

So… it had to be Liu Minjun?

Huh, and he thought she was a smart person, but it turns out she’s also an opportunist, ready to switch sides when the wind blows.

Director Yang said gruffly, “I got it. I’ll handle this matter. You just stay put in the show and don’t cause any trouble.”
