[Holy crap?! What did I just hear? Did that woman call my goddess boyfriend "husband"?!]
What does this mean? Has this woman mistaken someone for someone else?
[No way? She's wearing ancient costume and makeup, that doesn't make sense!]
[Is she some kind of crazy woman? Making up all sorts of husbands out of thin air?]
[Is it possible that this woman isn't either admitting her mistake or is crazy, but... this man isn't a good person and is two-timing or something?]
[The person upstairs is right!! Didn't Ji Nanshu say before that my goddess's current boyfriend wasn't her true love? Maybe he already knew this man was a cheater!]
"Honey! What brings you to France? You haven't been home to see me and the baby in ages, the baby hardly recognizes you anymore."
The woman lifted her head from Xiao Lin, her cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with dependence on the man.
A flicker of panic crossed Xiao Lin's eyes. He abruptly shoved the woman away and roared, "What nonsense are you spouting?! Who's your husband?!"
After Li Lan finished her performance, she asked, "What happened?"
The woman's eyes lit up when she saw Li Lan, and she grabbed Li Lan's hand, saying, "Hello~ I'm Xiao Lin's wife, my name is Huo Zi~ You must be Xiao A-Lin's colleague? You're so beautiful!"
Li Lan asked in confusion, "You... are his wife?"
He then pointed to Xiao Lin standing to the side.
Xiao Lin shoved Huo Zi again, and the unsuspecting Huo Zi stumbled. "What nonsense are you talking about?! Who's your husband! Stop making up stories here! A-Lan, don't listen to this crazy woman's rubbish!"
Huo Zi's eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe Xiao Lin's words, and her eyes instantly filled with tears. "Husband? Did I do something wrong? Why are you saying this...?"
"You're clearly my husband of three years! Our baby's already six months old!!"
Li Lan crossed her arms. " Xiao Lin... is what she said true?"
Xiao Lin bit his lip and said firmly, "It's fake! I don't know her!"
As soon as she finished speaking, netizens saw Huo Zi's tears falling like beads from a broken string.
With trembling hands, she opened her bag and pulled out a red booklet. "I didn't lie! I didn't mistake you! You are my husband! Look!! This is my marriage certificate!"
Huo Zi spread out the red booklet and held it directly in front of Li Lan.
The paparazzi cleverly shoved the camera directly at the marriage certificate.
It's over... it's all over!
This was Xiao Lin's first reaction.
Then he smashed the marriage certificate away, roaring, "You crazy woman! You actually dared to forge a marriage certificate?!"
He absolutely cannot be labeled as two-timing; he can't lose Li Lan, his cash cow! Huo Zi... well, her family is better off than his, but compared to Li Lan, she's nothing!
Huo Zi's eyes were swollen from crying. She silently picked up the marriage certificate from the ground, gave Xiao Lin a deep look, wiped away her tears, and ran away.
Hmph, you scumbag, you rotten cucumber! I'll make you pay!
Was Xiao Lin enraged out of embarrassment?
[Um, this Xiao Lin... I think I know him... He's a VIP at our club.]
[Holy crap, how many verified accounts did I count?!]
[You're focusing on the wrong thing. You should be asking what kind of club it is, okay?]
[Emmmm, well... that cigarette...]
[?! Is this the one I know?! Holy crap, that's exciting!]
[What the heck is that?! Explain it to me!]
[It's about providing... you know, special services. I heard that as long as you pay enough, they can find you any type! Everything imaginable! It's a good thing I don't have any particular hobbies, otherwise I'd definitely check it out!]
[Hiss--Isn't this illegal?!]
With her back to the camera, Li Lan's lips curled slightly. That idiot Xiao Lin, his acting was so terrible, how could she have been so blind to think he was such a perfect man?
Her fans are right, she should focus on her career; men will only slow down her earning speed!
The scene shifts, and Li Lan says with a cold expression, "Go find that... Huo Zi... She's Hua Country, it wouldn't be good if something happened to her."
Since Li Lan had already said that, Xiao Lin couldn't say anything and could only follow Li Lan and the paparazzi to find Huo Zi.
After searching for more than an hour, they finally found Huo Zi squatting by the river, sobbing uncontrollably.
Li Lan handed her a tissue. "Don't cry, wipe your tears."
Huo Zi sniffled, her words still a little slurred from crying, "Thank you... Have I caused you any trouble...?"
It has to be said that Huo Zi's appearance is extremely deceptive; it's hard to believe she's acting to fool Xiao Lin.
"No." Li Lan reached out her hand for Huo Zi to lead her. "Do you have a place to stay?"
Huo Zi replied pitifully, "No, no... I checked out this morning, left my luggage at the hotel, and plan to spend the day sightseeing before taking my flight back tonight..."
"I'll ask the director. You wait here."
As soon as Li Lan left, and seeing the camera follow her away, Xiao Lin grabbed Huo Li Lan's arm, looking fierce. "Huo Zi! Did you do this on purpose?!"
Huo Zi looked completely bewildered. "Husband? What?"
"Don't call me 'husband'! Do you know how much trouble you've ruined for me?!"
"I'm so sorry... Honey... I didn't mean to... Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Huo Zi tugged at Xiao Lin's sleeve, acting like a little girl.
Xiao Lin pushed Huo Zi's hand away. "Leave now! Otherwise, we're getting a divorce!"
"Divorce... divorce?! Husband, you actually want a divorce?! Our son is only six months old!! You don't even want our son anymore?!"
As she spoke, Huo Zi's eyes welled up with tears again.
Just then, Li Lan returned after finishing her phone call. She waved her phone and said coolly, "Let's go. There are extra rooms in the villa. Come back with us for the night and leave tomorrow."
Huo Zi glanced at Xiao Lin cautiously, then stammered, "I... I think I'd better not... I don't want to cause you any trouble...?"
Xiao Lin: "Yes, A-Lan, we're recording a show, and this lady is just an ordinary person. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"She's a girl, all alone in a foreign country, I'm worried about her." Li Lan grabbed Huo Zi's arm without giving her a chance to refuse, and ignored Xiao Lin's words, and took Huo Zi back to the recording villa.
Xiao Lin cursed inwardly, but no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to agree.
[Aww, our Lanlan is so sweet!!]
[No way! My goddess is so wonderful, she absolutely can't let some scumbag get her. I need to go and find out more about her!]
Does this count as girls helping girls?
I originally planned to finish it by the end of the month, but it seems like I've written quite a bit. I'll try to finish it around the middle of next month!
