The Villainous Celebrity Wife of the CEO - Chapter 176.2

Jokes aside, they had to continue talking about business.

Su Jishi reflected: “I used to hear people always say, ‘After telling a lie, you have to tell more lies to go round it’. And now, it is so.”

Lies after lies until she herself would get trapped in it.

Mu Xiulun paused and suddenly asked, “Jishi, have you ever thought of exposing the lie?”

“What do you mean?” Su Jishi asked back in shock, “You don’t want me to admit my relationship with Su Jin, do you?”

“…In fact, there is one thing that your sister has been hiding from you without telling you, for fear of affecting your studies.” Mu Xiulun sighed and finally decided to tell the entire story, “Just a few weeks ago, a reporter received a tip that Su Jin is actually a twin. The informer acquired a lot of evidence, including photos of you and your sister together, including your two completely different life histories…Combined with the great changes in Su Jin’s character in the past six months, it is enough to prove that you have swapped identities. Of course, we have suppressed the news.”

Su Jishi was shocked.

“How could that be?! My sister and I don’t even have a photo together!” She said excitedly, “We were separated when we were eight years old, and we haven’t seen each other more than three times in the past twenty years!”

Mu Xiulun said solemnly, “You didn’t have a photo together after you were eight years old —— What about before?”

When the Su sisters were born, home CCTVs weren’t yet popular. It was only a few family photos, or on their birthdays, did the family of four go to the photo studio to shoot. Later, their parents quarreled frequently, so they increasingly had fewer opportunities to take photos together…

Twenty years ago, Su Jishi’s memory was already blotchy. She frowned and thought hard, but could only recall that after her parents’ divorce, her mother took away a few photos of the two sisters. The rest were all taken off the wall by her father and thrown to the bottom of the box, forbidding her to look at them again.

Now that their mother died, those remaining photos …

“…” Su Jishi’s lips moved, and she smiled bitterly, “Is the person who exposed the news my father?”

Mu Xiulun fell silent.

Su Jishi lifted her head to look at the ceiling, inhaled deeply and forced herself to suppress the anger surging within her.

Hoo —— hoo —— hoo —— hoo ——

Su Jishi was furious. She pounded the table, and the water glass nearby jumped: “I can’t stand it anymore!!! From the very start, we agreed to cut our father-daughter relationship after I got into college, so why did that son of a b-itch jump out now, huah?!!!”

Mu Xiulun: “I think it’s because of a failed investment, and he wanted money.” He said, “Actually, he found your sister’s agency two months ago. After extorting a sum of money, his appetite grew. The boss of Huanchen didn’t want to indulge him, so he didn’t give him money the next few times. I didn’t expect him to be so greedy, to the extent he went directly to the media and said that he would expose the news.”

He hid very deep. Mu Xiulun sent people to look for him but still did not find his trail.

Although Mu Xiulun suppressed this expose from making it to the public this time, Su Jishi’s father had gone into hiding. He didn’t know when he would jump out and stab them from the back again.

At that time, Su Jishi was at a critical time before her defense, so they kept the news to themselves,in fear of distracting her.

It was easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but it was too difficult to guard against a thief for a thousand days.

It was unsafe to leave such a big secret in the hands of others. Hence, Mu Xiulun suggested the two sisters take the initiative to reveal the secret.

But then, a new problem would rise ——

—— They couldn’t predict the reaction of the brands they had endorsed. After all, this was considered a commercial fraud; they couldn’t imagine how upset the fans would be; how many of them would be able to accept that their idol had become a different person?
