CHAPTER 224: 224: THE NEW BUTLER AT THE GODDESS’ HOUSE

The internet is a truly magical thing; you can learn about everything in the world without stepping out of your house. And the most crucial part is its speed of dissemination, what happens one second is known all over the world the next.

Because of Mu Qiuniang’s arrival, Mu Nan generously allowed the film crew to take a half-hour break.

Of course, there’s also the possibility that he wanted Mu Mingyu to better give everyone some "benefits"—which refers to the specialty products Mu Qiuniang brought back from the capital and some snacks she made herself.

Probably the most popular among them are the snacks Mu Qiuniang made by hand: dried small fish, jerky, dried fruit, all sorts of things, and in plenty of variety too.

Mu Mingyu really got to see how welcomed his grand-aunt is by the film crew. Anything she makes by hand is a joy to everyone.

Mu Mingyu had to admit, his grand-aunt is worthy of being called an Immortal, as everything she makes casually is top-notch. Forget about others, even looking at these snacks is enough to make his mouth water.

The staff who received the snacks found a place to eat peacefully and posted on Weibo; those who haven’t received snacks lined up to get them from Mu Mingyu.

Just as one of the staff wanted to post "Mu Qiuniang surprises the film crew, spreading love bubbles" on Weibo, he suddenly noticed the site was already abuzz with another piece of news.

"Jiang Nuo meets with new-generation actress at night, suspected of ’cheating’ ", "Video proof of Jiang Nuo booking a hotel room", "Why did the actress quarrel in front of Jiang Nuo’s room late at night, suspected abandonment"...

Is this nonsense? Jiang Nuo loves his wife so much; their entire crew has witnessed it, how could it possibly be fake?

The staff simply didn’t believe it, "Hey! Xiao Liu, this gossip is too fake, hurry and have a look."

"If you know it’s fake, why do you want me to see it? What’s the point?" Xiao Liu was somewhat reluctant, she finally got the snacks made by her goddess and just wanted to enjoy them quietly for a while.

"Come on, have a look, it’s about Jiang Nuo’s alleged affair again."

Xiao Liu rolled her eyes, "These paparazzi, don’t they have anything better to do? Who do they think Jiang Nuo is, could he cheat?"

That said, Xiao Liu still leaned over to take a look at what kind of nonsense the paparazzi were spewing.

The outcome left them both stunned; wasn’t the man in the video their idol Jiang Nuo?!

Looking up not far away, there was Jiang Nuo, happily clinging to his wife as he fed her, the two exchanged a glance.

Damn?!

There’s no way he has a twin, right?!

The video was short, showing their crew’s new actress, Lian Nicang, banging on Jiang Nuo’s hotel room door, yelling that Jiang Nuo was too cruel and heartless to her.

They couldn’t catch what Jiang Nuo said, but you could tell from the video that he was very cold, even appearing to view the woman as a nuisance.

Then the video cut off.

They quickly clicked on other videos, all of which were similar; accidentally capturing a woman appearing at Jiang Nuo’s room’s door, making a fuss with him—seeming like a scene of a lovestruck woman meeting a heartless jerk, being abandoned.

The voice-over sarcastically commented that Jiang Nuo was truly a ’refreshing current’ in the entertainment circle, no wonder there have been no scandals for so many years except for his self-announced marriage; it’s not because there were none, but because his secrecy was too good, unnoticed by the public.

Jiang Nuo is practically a scumbag!

Their hands were trembling, even if they wanted to claim the news was false, this video was real as could be—the hotel room, the timing, the people involved—all of it was real.

"Director Mu, there’s trouble, big trouble!" They didn’t say another word and handed the phone to Mu Nan, who was sitting with the assistant director munching on snacks.

"What’s the big trouble? The look on your faces, so pale, did you get heatstroke?" Mu Nan said as he took the phone, then laughed upon seeing the titles, "These titles are clearly fake, and you guys believed them?"

"Director Mu, you should watch the video first," Xiao Liu urged anxiously.

Mu Nan noticed their odd demeanor, raising some doubt in his mind, but he still didn’t believe such things could be true.

What type of person is Jiang Nuo? He is his brother; could he not know what kind of person his brother is?

Still, he clicked on it. A glance made his heart skip a beat.

When did Jiang Nuo get set up in a honey trap?!

This was clearly a setup; although he didn’t know what had happened, he trusted Jiang Nuo, who loved Mu Qiuniang so much he would never betray her on his own.

But if he was drunk or drugged, that could be another matter.

Mu Nan hurried with the phone to Jiang Nuo, "Jiang Nuo, were you set up?"

"What, something happened again? What’s with me lately, disaster after disaster?" Jiang Nuo was still smiling as he took the phone from Mu Nan’s hands.

A glance made him unable to suppress his amusement.

"Why are you still laughing? Although we don’t know how this video came about, such a video is an ironclad proof in the eyes of the public. Aren’t you going to think of a way to debunk this proof?"

"Why not just have the person involved come out and say what happened?" Jiang Nuo said indifferently, "It wasn’t just the two of us last night, my agent and her agent were there too. Once we explain what happened, everything will be clear..."

"Looks like I worried too much." Mu Nan saw and knew the kid was well aware, feeling relieved immediately.

And the staff who followed also felt relieved, "Brother Jiang, what exactly happened last night?"

"What could have happened? The little girl got drunk, broke up, and was crying and making a scene. And I just happened to stumble upon it, lucky me." Jiang Nuo looked helpless.

"So she was heartbroken? No wonder when she was filming during the day yesterday, her acting was so off, with so many NGs..." Xiao Liu felt deeply touched when it came to reminiscence.

Last time she had a breakup, she found a girlfriend, drank all night, got drunk all night, and puked all night.

"You’re practically under a disaster curse lately!" Mu Nan teased.

"Could be, so you’d better keep your distance to avoid catching it."

"That girl didn’t show up for filming today, her agent called me early morning saying she was ill and wanted to take a day off. I thought it was because I scolded her too fiercely yesterday and she was too ashamed to show her face, needed a day’s rest, but turns out it was this."

"Yeah, I’ll call Brother Lu and check, he should know and handle it. He did say yesterday..." Jiang Nuo hadn’t finished speaking when his phone rang.

A glance proved it was indeed Lu Mingchen, "See, speak of the devil."
