Chapter 40 Part 2: Seeing is Believing
After the banquet, Yu Weixi stood blankly in a small corner outside the hotel.
The evening wind was a little cold. Yu Weixi squatted by the flower bed, his hands and feet cold.
If I go up… I can get the role and immediately fulfill my wish.
Yu Weixi bit his lower lip.
Wasn’t the purpose of him coming back from the US…
But…
Yu Weixi’s legs were a little shaky. He couldn’t take that step to the room President Li had mentioned.
“Sir, do you need any help?” A security guard on the side saw that Yu Weixi had been sitting by the flower bed with a pale face for a while and immediately went up to ask.
“No, I don’t need any.” Yu Weixi took a deep breath and stood up.
Walking into the hotel, Yu Weixi was immediately taken aback.
An advertisement poster was pasted on the largest pillar in the hotel’s waiting hall. In the poster was Feng Yan.
At this time, Feng Yan was already a Film Emperor, young and promising.
Yu Weixi just stood there blankly, looking at the poster for a long, long time.
Then, Yu Weixi felt that he was a stupid B.
It’s just a movie! It’s not necessary, really not necessary.
Then, Yu Weixi went home, washed his face, and dyed his hair black.
If it was internally decided, then it was internally decided. He could get it back with his own strength. If he couldn’t get it back… then forget it.
Yu Weixi lowered his eyes.
There were always many opportunities. As long as he worked hard, he could seize them when they came.
His parents had died when he was a child. At the age of thirteen, he had gone to the US with his uncle. His uncle was addicted to gambling and would also hit him. He had been imprisoned in the US before he could even pay off the down payment of his rent. From that time on, Yu Weixi had been struggling on his own in the backstreets, growing up wildly.
No one had taught him right from wrong, but Yu Weixi knew that to live, one had to be happy and have dignity.
So when he was in the backstreets, when someone gave him a cigarette, he had subconsciously refused. When he was dancing in a bar to make a living, when someone gave him bai fen, he had also pushed it away.
And now, he didn’t want to take the initiative to break all this.
Later, for some reason, the role of the merman still returned to his hands.
Maybe the luck he had never had before was for this moment, Yu Weixi thought, accumulated to give him a surprise.
“Xixi, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you…”
At this moment, Feng Yan was just holding Yu Weixi, gently patting his back.
Yu Weixi didn’t cry. He just leaned silently against Feng Yan’s chest.
Feng Yan almost dotingly raised his hand and ruffled Yu Weixi’s hair. “Don’t you worry. I’ll help you investigate. I’ll definitely get to the bottom of everything.”
“…Don’t you dare.” Yu Weixi’s voice was a little muffled.
Feng Yan was taken aback.
He saw Yu Weixi look up and glare at him fiercely. “Don’t you dare investigate!”
Feng Yan looked at Yu Weixi with confusion.
“I’m warning you, don’t you dare investigate. My business has nothing to do with you!”
“Xixi…”
“We have no relationship!”
Yu Weixi pushed him away again and shouted, “Get lost! Don’t interfere in my business!”
“Don’t you make a fuss, okay? This is a serious matter…”
“I’m not making a fuss. The company will help me investigate. I’m their cash cow. They won’t give up on me. It’s not your place to be nosy.”
“…” Feng Yan frowned and looked at Yu Weixi.
“Get lost.” Yu Weixi turned his back on Feng Yan.
“Get far away. I hate you.”
Feng Yan had originally wanted to continue to be at a stalemate with Yu Weixi, but he sensed that Yu Weixi’s emotions were very wrong, so he didn’t dare to deliberately provoke him anymore.
“I… I’ll come back later.” Feng Yan sighed and left.
Yu Weixi looked at his own feet and pouted.
After nightfall, Niangao returned home.
“Daddy!”
The moment Niangao stepped into the house, he saw Yu Weixi sitting on the sofa, scrolling through his phone with a blank expression. He keenly sensed that Yu Weixi was in a bad mood.
Online, the matter between him and President Li had continued to ferment after nightfall.
The fans were still fighting with the haters for three hundred rounds. The water army was also working hard. While they were still arguing about the authenticity of the video and the pictures, Luo Yucheng posted on Weibo.
@TheCityWhereItStillRainsTonight: I originally didn’t want to say it, and I didn’t dare to say it. After all, the person involved is a top-tier celebrity, and I’m just a small celebrity. I don’t know if the other person is President Li. I’m not very familiar with him. But that hand… that bracelet, I have indeed seen it on Yu Weixi’s hand. I’m not sure if it’s really him. I’m just providing clues and saying what I know. After all, seeing how things have fermented now, I have to say it, otherwise I can’t get past my own conscience.
As we all know, Yu Weixi directly pushed me down the stairs at Mr. Lu’s birthday banquet without any regard for anything, in front of everyone. I stayed in the hospital for a few days. Since that’s the case, I don’t have to give him any face.
The comments immediately became lively.
XXXX: White lotus bitch, shut up! You’re not satisfied if you don’t ride on Xixi’s popularity, are you? You’re always thinking about harming Xixi. I curse you to go six hundred yards when you go out tonight!
XXXX: That bracelet, does anyone know what’s going on?
Yu Weixi looked at this B Luo Yucheng’s performance and was speechless.
This bracelet was given to the five of us candidates by the brand at that time. Everyone has one, okay?
Is he not afraid of it being traced back to him? After all, he also has a hand.
…No.
Yu Weixi remembered something. At that time, the brand had given him a red one. Then he had disliked it and had exchanged it with Chu Qing. But red did not suit Chu Qing. Luo Yucheng had then acted like a good person, wanting to win people over, and had exchanged with Chu Qing.
So the bracelet in the video was originally Yu Weixi’s.
Now, even if he and Chu Qing said that they had exchanged it back then, no one would believe them. After all, he and Luo Yucheng were already enemies.
…
…
Wait.
Yu Weixi felt that he had broken through a blind spot.
So…
The person in the video is Luo Yucheng??
Fuck!
Then everything can be explained!
Yu Weixi guessed that he had not gone in the end, but Luo Yucheng should have taken his place and climbed into President Li’s bed.
President Li had originally not been interested in Luo Yucheng, but after sleeping with him, they had had contact. Then if Luo Yucheng acted a little more coquettishly, wouldn’t it be done?
The person in the video is Luo Yucheng!
Then… why did Luo Yucheng expose himself like this in front of him?
Although what he said had no credibility, he didn’t have to expose himself like this…
Yu Weixi sneered.
Luo Yucheng, oh Luo Yucheng…
This vicious person…!
He and Luo Yucheng are not done now, Yu Weixi thought.
If he doesn’t kill Luo Yucheng, his surname won’t be Yu!
Of course, what Yu Weixi didn’t know was that Luo Yucheng actually didn’t want to post on Weibo and get involved in this mess. But President Ye had forced him to post, and Luo Yucheng didn’t dare to offend President Li, so he could only be so ambiguous and point the finger at Yu Weixi.
Heaven knows how hard he had to work to deal with and explain to President Li and President Ye after he had posted this Weibo.
And not long after, things took a new turn.
It could be said that… the sky had changed.
The final verdict.
President Li’s wife had posted a long post on Weibo.
President Li had always had a steady image of a family man and a good man. And his wife… was a young lady worth tens of millions. President Li had also relied on his wife to start his company back then.
But perhaps because President Li felt uncomfortable relying on a woman, not to mention that his wife was more capable than him and also had a tigress personality, President Li had no other feelings for this woman besides coveting her money. Therefore, while President Li maintained his image on the surface, he was always restless with good-looking men and women behind the scenes.
Last year, after the female celebrity with the surname An, a sweet-looking new little flower, had sued President Li in court, President Li’s wife had begun to suspect.
It was just that there was no evidence at that time. President Li’s wife had even helped her husband settle the lawsuit and suppressed public opinion. That little flower had even been directly shelved by the company. But from that time on, President Li’s wife had begun to secretly pay attention to her husband’s whereabouts outside and had even hired a private detective.
Then, as time went by, President Li’s wife had gradually noticed that her husband was keeping a little man outside.
This time, when the video was exposed, President Li’s wife’s bad temper directly couldn’t take it anymore, and she publicly attacked Yu Weixi on Weibo.
President Li’s wife had posted a long article and attached various evidences of her husband opening rooms, cheating, etc., and had cursed at Yu Weixi without mercy.
—Arrogant on the surface, but a bitch who seduces a married man behind the scenes! A male third party who destroys families! It wasn’t enough to have a relationship with my husband for a role back then, and he’s still entangled with him now. My husband is a scumbag, and you’re no better. Despicable!
XXXX: Support President Li’s wife! The third party should die! This is too destructive to one’s worldview, isn’t it?? Yu Weixi has no bottom line!
XXXX: Woc, it was one thing for Yu Weixi to roast people everywhere before. I originally thought that he was at least an upright and straightforward boy, but I didn’t expect… so disappointed, so disgusting.
XXXX: I finally understand why Yu Weixi is so domineering in the entertainment industry. It turns out he has a sugar daddy behind him. Respect.
XXXX: So that’s how Yu Weixi got the role of the merman…? I suddenly feel a little strange about having chased The Coast back then. I was just saying, he had just debuted at that time. Although he was as popular as the sun, how could he be paired with Feng Yan, who was already a Film Emperor at that time? It turns out it was by selling his ass.
The comments were more unbearable than the last. Yu Weixi went through them one by one, reading them one by one.
He insisted on reading them, insisted on knowing what others were saying about him.
Tsk.
Yu Weixi sneered.
He logged into his main account and replied without any scruples.
XXXX: Yu Weixi is shameless for selling his ass! Has his worldview and conscience been fed to the dogs?!
DylanLovesToDance_: That’s right, and you said you weren’t full.
Others used vulgar words, and Yu Weixi used even more vulgar words. He was never afraid.
In the industry, he was the only one who dared to show his lower limit with the haters like this.
“Daddy…”
Niangao climbed onto the sofa, hugged Yu Weixi, and desperately squeezed into his arms. “Daddy, don’t be angry…”
Yu Weixi was taken aback. He looked down at the little ball of fluff in his arms and smiled. “I’m not angry.”
“Really…?” Niangao blinked.
But he just felt that Yu Weixi was unhappy…
Niangao paused and desperately rubbed his fluffy hair against Yu Weixi’s chest.
Trying to act coquettishly.
Yu Weixi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He hugged Niangao and bared his teeth. “What are you doing, Niangao?”
“Fighting monsters.” Niangao pouted.
“Oh, then the monster is coming to eat you!”
Yu Weixi pounced on Niangao and tickled him.
Niangao laughed and shouted, flailing his legs and trying to struggle. The father and son just fooled around on the sofa like that.
To hell with it, Yu Weixi thought. It’s not the first time I’ve heard those messy words!
What others say is their business. What does it have to do with me?
It’s better to live a good life!
Yu Weixi happily teased and played with Niangao for a whole night. He also checked the system. The dark energy was rising rapidly, faster than ever before. Yu Weixi immediately became rich and bought a recovery power for his waist on the spot, hoping to return to the stage soon.
…
Yu Weixi had long been relieved. Besides, no matter how badly he was smeared, he could still benefit. The dark energy was rising.
But Feng Yan could not be relieved.
Feng Yan’s image had always been perfect. Even the car crash of Linglong Jade had not had a big impact. At most, people just thought that his brain had suddenly short-circuited and his aesthetic had gone wrong.
Besides, he was a veteran. He couldn’t arouse the fighting spirit of the haters.
So, it was the first time Feng Yan had directly watched a person, and a person close to him, being cursed at online like this.
Feng Yan frowned slightly. That night, he was so busy that his feet barely touched the ground.
—He had to find out what had happened that year.
And Feng Yan decided to start with Luo Yucheng and President Li. He figured that this matter was also inseparable from Luo Yucheng.
…
That night, before going to bed, Yu Weixi scrolled through Weibo and found that Feng Yan was on the hot search.
Feng Yan… had posted.
@Actor Feng Yan: Only the most ignorant and ignorant people will still believe in that old saying of seeing is believing. What you see is what you first need to doubt. —-Ayn Rand
—I don’t believe in seeing is believing, but I believe in you.
…
Yu Weixi looked at this post, his eyes wide, in disbelief.
Is Feng Yan…
Has Feng Yan gone crazy?!
The shippers were all crying. Feng Yan’s solo stans were hitting their heads against the wall in pain. Yu Weixi…
Yu Weixi didn’t know what to say.
Maybe Feng Yan had really gone crazy.
He thought he was probably about to go crazy too.
