For Lu Wanggui to be able to be in his current position, his ability to deal with problems was top-notch. Even though things seemed a little tricky now, he quickly sorted out his thoughts and picked up his phone to dial Xuang Xiaoyuan’s number.

It didn’t matter if other people misunderstood or not.

The other end quickly picked up. Xiang Xiaoyuan’s voice was as energetic as ever. “Hi, what’s the matter?”

Hearing her words, he knew that he had guessed correctly.

She did not care about the rumors in the outside world at all!

Lu Wanggui did not notice that when he heard Xiang Xiaoyuan’s voice, the corner of his mouth had curled up. He asked, “Did you see the news on Weibo?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was stunned and suddenly burst into laughter. “Are you talking about gossip about you and the female celebrity? I didn’t see it, but I heard it from someone else.”

Lu Wanggui laughed softly. “It’s not true.”

Although he felt that there was no need to explain too much, since they had already started the topic, there was no reason for him to hide it.

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “Huh?”

“It’s just a small misunderstanding. Two years ago, the public relations department didn’t handle it properly.” Lu Wanggui said unhurriedly, “My driver at the time and Miss Lin were cousins. He was driving to give Miss Lin a card, but was accidentally caught by the paparazzi. Because Miss Lin wasn’t very famous at that time, the public relations department suppressed the news with just a little bit of help. Who would have thought that the old story would be dug up again today?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan didn’t expect the truth to be so cliche.

“So, you don’t know Lin Siqing at all?”

“No, I’ve never met her.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed regretfully. “I thought you had some friendship with her.”

She was chasing after Lin Siqing’s TV series, and the male lead in it was to her taste.

Lu Wanggui sounded a little surprised. “You seem to be disappointed?”

“Not much, just a little.” Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded. “So you called to explain this matter specifically?”

“Not exactly.” Lu Wanggui explained, “After this matter, you suddenly decided to stay at a friend’s house. They thought you ran away from home because of an argument.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “? ? ?”

Ran away from home? Were these people too imaginative?

“Why do they think so?”

Lu Wanggui muttered, “Maybe you brought too much luggage.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was speechless. “Okay.”

At this time, she realized that Lu Wanggui should not have just called to explain this incident. There should be other things. She thought for a bit and asked, “So you want me to go home and dispel the rumours?”

Without waiting for Lu Wanggui’s reply, she was a little distressed. “But I drank today.”

Lu Wanggui was very considerate and said, “It’s okay. Just stay at your friend’s house.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan mumbled, “But I hate it when people look at me differently. If I don’t go home today, won’t they feel sorry for me tomorrow? Being abandoned by my newlywed husband, running away from home and no one cared about me.”

She recalled the TV series she had seen before. In such a situation where the wife was wronged, her husband should come and coax her, right?

Lu Wanggui was smart enough to understand what she meant. “Then I’ll go and pick you up?”

“Okay.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan readily agreed. “I’m in Xinfu Garden, Building 26… Hey, Yang Liu, what’s your house number?”

Yang Liu’s voice was a little unclear, “Unit 3, Number 701. You said you weren’t drunk, you don’t even remember my house number.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan repeated with a smile, “Building 26, Unit 3, Number 701. I’ll wait for you here.”

Lu Wanggui laughed again, “Okay, I’ll be quick.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Wanggui lowered his head and thought for a moment. He turned off the computer in the study, took the car keys, and walked out of the room. When he passed by Lu Bei’s door, he stopped and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Not long after, the door opened, and Lu Bei’s expression didn’t look too good.

Lu Wanggui looked at Lu Bei. He was in a hurry to pick up Xiao Yuan, so he didn’t have much time to explain. He knew his son’s personality. He was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. If he really didn’t care about Xiang Xiaoyuan, he wouldn’t have specifically told him where she went.

Therefore, in order to make his son feel at ease, he had to explain before he went out.

“What is it?” Lu Bei’s tone was harsh.

“Those things on Weibo are not true. If you want to know the truth, you can call Gao Yuan.”

Lu Bei looked awkward. “What does it have to do with me? Why should I ask?”

He was not the least bit interested in gossip!
