Seeing that Shi Lu had woken up but didn’t have the strength to speak, Zhang Chao hurriedly explained on Shi Lu’s behalf, “Shi Lu has never made any friends in the entertainment industry, but he became friends with Zhang Zhang because their personalities are very similar. The two of them are like buddies. Last year, the Shi family offended someone in the business world and it affected Shi Lu. When filming a motorbike scene by the sea, there was a problem with the brakes of Shi Lu’s sea motorbike and he could only jump into the sea. It was Zhang Zhang who saved him.”
Only then did Yuan Shu understand that the two of them were friends who had gone through thick and thin together. It was indeed wrong of her to suspect Shi Lu’s savior.
However, now that Shi Lu was awake, Yuan Shu could ask him directly, “Who asked you to go to the room?”
Shi Lu was still very weak. “The attendant said… said that you were resting in the room… When you left, she asked me to pick you up…”
It was as Yuan Shu had guessed.
“After you went to the room, was there anyone else in the room?”
Shi Lu tried hard to recall, but he still had no clue, so he shook his head with difficulty.
“Not long after I entered the room, I felt weak… When I woke up again… I saw you guys…”
Yuan Shu started to worry. Shi Lu had been unconscious for at least an hour. What exactly happened in this hour? Who attacked him? Could it be that their ultimate goal was the Shi family?
Yuan Shu still had no clue, but it was useless to think about it now. It was more important to take good care of Shi Lu first.
She called home and asked Wu Yan to arrange for a family doctor to treat Shi Lu. She also asked them to prepare a wheelchair so that she could push Shi Lu in later.
When she was done and saw Shi Lu sleeping soundly on the bed, Yuan Shu finally felt relieved.
Yuan Shu didn’t sleep well that night, since she had a vague feeling that there would be bigger trouble waiting for them tomorrow.
The next day, Yuan Shu had just woken up when she received a message from Zhang Chao. “Madam Shi, something bad has happened. Shi Lu is on the trending searches!”
After being here for so long, Yuan Shu had a complete understanding of social media now, so when she saw the news, she immediately opened social media. Five trending topics were all about Shi Lu and the headlines were sensational! [Shocking, a famous celebrity barged into a female celebrity’s room at night!] [Casting couch]
[Shi Lu used a new role to threaten Zheng Yan.]
? ?
The other two trending topics naturally involved the Shi family.
As expected, even a slight change could affect the entire situation. In such a tense situation, no matter who it was, it would affect the entire Shi family.
Yuan Shu clicked on one of the trending topics. The first was a video. In the video, a drunk Shi Lu was standing outside the door of Room 888. He was swaying and could only stand steadily with his hand on the door frame.
The person behind the door was a woman in a bathrobe with her collar slightly open. According to the comments, her name should be Zheng Yan. The two of them seemed to be talking about something. Their voices were not very clear, but Zheng Yan could be heard saying, “Brother Shen Lu, please don’t take away my role. At most, I’ll let you in.”
Only this sentence could be heard clearly in the entire video, especially the words “Brother Shen Lu”. It seemed to be deliberately made clear so that people could tell who this person was.
As soon as Zheng Yan finished speaking, Shi Lu’s hand that was holding the door frame slipped and half of his body was almost completely leaning on Zheng Yan. In the video, Zheng Yan seemed to be struggling and wanted to push Shi Lu away, but in the next second, Shi Lu had already entered the room and the door was closed.
No one in the comment section below spoke up for Shi Lu. Almost everyone was scolding him.
[You think you can force others just because you’re rich? What a shameless sc.u.mbag!]
Someone asked, “What kind of show is it? Why does he have the final say?”
Zheng Yan’s fans commented: [It’s Director w.a.n.g Shen’s new movie. Zheng Yan is the female lead, but the Shi family invested money. Of course evil capitalists can do whatever they want!]
Seeing this comment, Yuan Shu was so angry that she laughed.
Not to mention that last night, w.a.n.g Shen had been persuading Yuan Shu to act as the female lead. Even Yuan Shu herself didn’t know that their family invested in this new drama. How could others know? How ridiculous!
However, even though it was such an obvious lie, many netizens still believed it. Even if the Shi family hired paid posters, they couldn’t suppress the
comments..
