Wan Chenâs reputation was instantly salvaged, and Wu Jingjing was scolded relentlessly.
Wu Jingjing couldnât stand seeing others criticizing her, so she just uninstalled Weibo.
As long as she couldnât see it, no one was scolding her!
...
Lying at home, Zheng He saw the revelation of Wan Chenâs identity and couldnât stop swearing in awe!
It turned out that the biggest connection had always been right by his side, and he hadnât cherished it!
Besides, he always thought Wan Chen was just showing off!
Turns out the guy really had the grounds to show off!
He also saw the trending topic about Wan Chen being slandered, but he silently watched, not voicing support for Wan Chen because he was afraid of being implicated by him.
But now, he kind of regretted it.
Does that mean itâs still not too late to latch onto him now?
Zheng He quickly retweeted Wan Chenâs Weibo post, shamelessly commenting: [Good brother, I believe in you, always supporting you!]
No matter what, he, Zheng He, had recognized this good brother!
[The bootlicker may be late, but he never misses out :)]
[Zheng He-brand bootlicker, not worth having. Because itâs embarrassing.]
[Ah? Good brothers now? When your brother needed you, you were absent; when your brother shines, you show up?]
[Real-life good brothers are in the heart; unreachable by phone when needed.]
Zheng He, looking at the jeers from netizens, clicked his tongue lightly, wondering why there were such gossipy people everywhere!
Zheng He chose a comment to reply: [Just woke up from sleeping, wouldâve posted earlier if I saw this sooner!]
A netizen mercilessly exposed him: [Heh, online for 30 minutes and just woke up, did a dog unlock your phone and log you into Weibo?]
Zheng He gritted his teeth, these comments are so vulgar!
He was just about to retort, then thought it was a good excuse.
Zheng He replied without any pressure: [How did you know? Did you put up cameras in my place?]
Netizens exclaimed that this is even worse than a dog.
...
Chen Xixi, looking at the turning tide of comments on Weibo, nodded in satisfaction and handed the phone back to Wan Chen: "Now that your identity is out, letâs see who dares to mess with you."
The Weibo post revealing his identity had been made by Chen Xixi.
Wan Chen originally planned to publish the surveillance footage to clarify the situation, vindicate himself, make Wu Jingjing publicly apologize, and then replace the actress in the drama; he thought it would end there.
Because he felt Wu Jingjing wasnât worth wasting too much energy on.
But Chen Xixi thought it wasnât enough.
Chen Xixi said, "Without revealing your identity today, youâd only solve superficial problems. Hostilities have begun; if not thoroughly resolved, she will definitely trouble you again."
"Thatâs true." Wan Chen agreed with a nod.
Chen Xixi glanced at the time: "I still have to shoot a scene, you go ahead."
She had stayed just to see what kind of drama Wu Jingjing would stir up next, especially since Wu Jingjing had just been humiliated and would definitely not keep quiet.
After Chen Xixi left, Wan Chen thought Old Wan would scold him, but Old Wan didnât say much and instead commanded an assistant nearby: "Contact the franchisee of this store, change the manager."
Store Manager: "!!!" His hanging heart utterly sank!
The store manager desperately tried to seek another chance, despondently saying, "I think I can still salvage it."
Old Wan, stern and unyielding, declared decisively: "No need."
Old Wan looked immensely cool saying that!
Watching Old Wan stand up for his son was just too cool!
Then Old Wan added: "Transfer him to another store for his internship, preferably a more remote location."
Now that my identity is public, working somewhere more remote would have less impact on Wan Chen.
Wan Chen suddenly felt that Old Wan wasnât that handsome anymore.
Just got fired, hadnât even had the chance to celebrate, and now I have to go back to this suffocating job, itâs unbearable.
Is there any way to skip the internship and directly inherit the family business?
The assistant thought for a moment and said, "Then letâs go with Ling City, thatâs quite remote. If itâs any more remote, we should consider going abroad."
Wan Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, Ling City?
Isnât Han Qianyi working there? It might be nice to have some company?
Wan Chen suddenly felt that skipping this internship might not be necessary.
"Okay, book me a flight then." Wan Chen agreed swiftly, almost without hesitation.
...
When Chen Xixi returned to the crew, she heard from Li Jia that Wu Jingjing had been replaced.
After Li Jia finished talking about Wu Jingjing, she continued: "Itâs unbelievable, Wan Chen is actually the Crown Prince of Beile! Such a powerful identity only revealed now, he hid it so well! Did you already know about it?"
"I just found out too."
I wonder how Han Qianyi will react after knowing this.
Right after Chen Xixi finished speaking, a WeChat message came in.
Zhou Jinyuan: "The wealthy lady says she misses you and invites you to come over for dinner this weekend. Do you have time?"
Chen Xixiâs lips curled up slightly, couldnât resist teasing her internship boyfriend: "Oh, only the wealthy lady misses me?"
The next second, Zhou Jinyuanâs blunt reply made Chen Xixiâs ears turn red.
Zhou Jinyuan: "The wealthy ladyâs son misses you too."
She was clearly flirting with him, so why did her heartbeat speed up?
It wasnât Chen Xixiâs first time meeting Zhou Jinyuanâs mother, and she got along well with her, so there was really no need to be shy.
Moreover, she had received Money, she couldnât just take the Money and forget people.
So she decided to graciously agree.
Chen Xixi replied that she was free that evening, then pressed her hand over her heart, looked up at Li Jia, and asked in confusion, "Why has my heart been beating so fast lately?"
"Not only is your heart beating fast, but your face is also red..." Li Jia guessed, "Could it be that you have a Heartbeat? Who were you messaging just now? A guy? Youâre at a critical point in your career, getting into a relationship could cost you fans, if you want to keep eating the actorâs bread, itâs best not to get into a relationship now, and if you do, keep it under tight wraps, donât let it get out."
Heartbeat?
Is this what a Heartbeat feels like?
Before this, no man had ever told her he missed her.
Is it a Heartbeat, or just the novelty of a first-time experience?
She wasnât sure.
But at least, she didnât dislike it.
Chen Xixi said, "Got it, donât worry."
Li Jia felt that Chen Xixi definitely had something going on, but their company didnât forbid artists from dating, so she didnât say much else, having already given all the necessary reminders, trusting that Chen Xixi would weigh this in her mind.
On the weekend.
Chen Xixi was invited to the Zhou Familyâs house.
As soon as she entered, she saw a lot of people in the Zhou Familyâs living room.
There was Ms. Zhen, Zhou Jinyuan, and an old man around seventy with grey hair but deep facial features and a spirited look, with an excellent demeanor resembling Zhou Jinyuan, likely Zhou Jinyuanâs father.
Then... she also saw Xu Nianying, next to him was a charming and sexy woman, and behind the woman stood a couple that seemed to be Xu Nianyingâs or the womanâs parents.
People were chatting and laughing, only Zhou Jinyuan sat expressionlessly on a single sofa, looking at his phone with a cold demeanor, as if their topics had nothing to do with him.
Following that, she faintly heard that they seemed to be discussing topics like marriage.
