CHAPTER 499: CHAPTER 497: DESIRE TO CONQUER

Huo Mutian later stopped her, saying that the apology was just an excuse, and that it was probably true that he had seen another pretty face and moved on to a new love.

Fortunately, twin ponytails had given her the video. At the time, it was just a precaution, not expecting it to actually come in handy.

They weren’t in a rush at all at the moment. Jiang Yao said that since it was rare for them to trend on social media, they should wait for public opinion to ferment to its peak before clarifying. Since the other party spared no expense in trending her, she ought to maximize its effect, shouldn’t she?

When Wen Qiao received Huo Mutian’s friend request, she was leisurely eating grapes and browsing netizens’ views on the incident.

Wen Qiao wasn’t surprised at all as to how Huo Mutian got her WeChat. People of his stature could find out anything they wanted.

After accepting the request, his first message was "Sorry."

His second message was "I’ll handle this well."

Wen Qiao thought for a bit and sent a few characters over.

[Qiaoqiao’s not full: I’ve heard that Mr. Huo’s ex-girlfriends all think highly of you. This time with this incident, it seems Mr. Huo hasn’t given a generous enough parting gift.]

A few seconds later, he sent a voice message directly.

Wen Qiao smiled and clicked the voice message.

The man’s gentle voice came out, "I’m sorry to have caused you laughter."

[Qiaoqiao’s not full: No problem, I understand.]

After replying to Huo Mutian’s message, Wen Qiao bounced off the couch, slipped into her slippers, and ran into the bedroom.

Jiang Yao was sitting on the bed, a laptop in front of her, an iPad in her left hand, and her phone resting on her lap.

Wen Qiao jumped onto the bed and pulled Jiang Yao’s arm. "Sister Yao, we can send out that video now."

Jiang Yao didn’t even glance at her. "It’s not time yet, no rush, wait a bit longer."

"If you don’t send out the video soon, Huo Mutian will start dealing with it." Wen Qiao shook her phone, signaling her to look, "Huo Mutian’s way of dealing with it will probably involve removing the trending topic, getting Chu Ning to delete her Weibo apology, and then the netizens will definitely speculate that I threatened her. If we release the video then, it’ll be too late."

Jiang Yao’s hand, scrolling through comments, paused, then after a glance at Wen Qiao’s phone, she said, "Then I’ll post the complete video now."

"Great!"

Actually, aside from that, there was another reason Wen Qiao wanted Jiang Yao to release the video now.

Indeed, this matter had arisen because of Huo Mutian, and he said he would handle it, so Wen Qiao could just wait for the outcome.

But that was not what Wen Qiao wanted.

Firstly, because as she had told Jiang Yao, Huo Mutian wasn’t a part of the entertainment industry, and if he mishandled it, the whole affair could well end up being blamed on Wen Qiao.

Secondly, women like Huo Mutian, who always acted obediently around him and cried about every issue, depending on him to solve their problems...

Too much plain congee inevitably loses its taste; otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered provoking Wen Qiao.

Since that was the case, Wen Qiao decided to give him this opportunity to try something new.

He wanted to demonstrate his strength and ability in front of Wen Qiao, but she was not going to give him the chance.

Only a woman who can inspire a man’s desire to conquer can hold the initiative.

Thus, she was going to solve the issue before Huo Mutian made his move.

Wen Qiao turned over and opened Fu Jinghen’s chat window.

When Wen Qiao’s name first appeared in the trending topics, Fu Jinghen had messaged her, asking if she wanted to remove the trend and negotiate.

Wen Qiao tossed him a "Don’t worry about it, I’ll handle it myself" and ignored him after that.
