Chapter 232: Who Will Apologize
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Whoosh—
Meng Fan took a look at the crowd. He knew there was nothing he could say to them, and didn’t want to waste his energy.
He approached the girl who was still clutching her head on the ground and helped her up. “Are you okay? Check if he hurt you anywhere. Do you want him to apologize?”
“No, no, I’m okay.”
The girl raised her head. The hand mark on her face was still evident, and she had footprints on her clothes. Hearing Meng Fan talk, she continued to shake her head while retreating at the same time, refusing help from Meng Fan. At this time, Meng Fan looked even scarier than the two bodyguards just now. She was scared and he was there to harm her rather than help her.
“I’m not hurt, I’m not hurt anywhere.”
It was unclear if she had felt the menacing glances from the other fans. And the girl immediately spoke up, “I don’t need an apology, I don’t! It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have pulled at Park Jae Hye. I didn’t follow the rules, it’s all my fault!”
Meng Fan was distressed, and his heart ached.
He was also considered a fan and knew the rules of these clubs. He also knew what this girl was afraid of. Although he wanted to slap the other girls awake…screw it. He would be doing her more harm than good if he continued to persist.
Meng Fan did not pay any attention to her, nor check to see what Park Jae Hye or other people were doing. He headed straight towards the studio.
“Don’t leave, you hit someone, hey wait, explain yourself”
The person next to the manager must have been his secretary. Her Mandarin was much better as she ran over. Seeing Meng Fan stop, she was too scared to step forward. She wanted to block Meng Fan from leaving, but she was afraid.
“What explanation do you want? I’ll be inside, waiting!”
Meng Fan coldly entered the studio and plopped himself on a chair in the lobby.
There was no way Meng Fan was going to find Bai Zhi and Su Qing Cen just yet. After sitting down, he sent Bai Zhi a text. “I’m in the lobby. Something happened, don’t get involved.”
Regarding this, Meng Fan felt no regret. Even if he knew that these people wouldn’t be grateful, he wouldn’t change the way he acted. He had acted purely on his own accord, and it had nothing to do with receiving grat.i.tude. Even if this had been before his rebirth, Meng Fan wasn’t going to let such things slide. However, at that time, he wouldn’t have had the energy to treat the issue with such a clean and crisp resolve.
As for what would happen next… Meng Fan was not concerned.
“Meng Fan.”
Sister Sun approached, dragging Meng Fan inside.
“Sister Sun, it’s best if I don’t go in so this doesn’t involve sister Bai and Shan Jin bro. I’m not a person in the industry, so it doesn’t matter if I get into trouble.”
“Trouble who?!” Sister Sun smiled bitterly. “Those two are asking that you enter. We have experience dealing with this kind of thing. Since everyone saw what happened, n.o.body can do anything to you, nonetheless, those two.”
“Alright.” Meng Fan followed her inside, still deep in thought. “Sister Sun, that female fan that got hit… I’m worried…”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged for someone to watch her.”
Sister Sun brought Meng Fan into Bai Zhi’s private room and left.
“Mighty Meng boss!”
“I was thinking just then, why are you so different from your sister? But it seems I’m wrong!”
Bai Zhi and Su Qing Cen had heard the news from sister Sun, and as soon as Meng Fan entered, they began a wave of trolling, despite their words being filled with adoration.
Meng Fan was slightly embarra.s.sed. “I couldn’t just watch and not do anything.”
Su Qing Cen agreed sternly, raising her fist. “Good! If I was there, I would have beat the sense out of him!”
Bai Zhi was slightly remorseful. “I wonder if anyone filmed the incident, I’m curious to see how you hit him. I heard sister Sun say you knocked the bodyguards out in an instant and had the K-pop idol hanging from his collar like a chicken.”
She couldn’t help herself as she reached out and squeezed Meng Fan’s arm. She smiled. “You are strong indeed.”
Meng Fan was a bit speechless but loosened up from their encouragement. “I wanted to sit there and see what they were going to do, but you made me come in. You guys have ruined my plans!”
“So what?!”
Bai Zhi’s expression darkened. “If that kid comes and apologizes to you, then apologizes publicly, then this will be over. Otherwise… Not only will he never be able to come to China, but he’ll also have a difficult time going home too!”
“Yeah, it’s already the year 9102, this kind of thing won’t slide!”
Su Qing Cen also agreed. The two were very upset when they heard of the Korean idol hitting his fan. If it had happened somewhere else at another time, they would have ignored it and only scolded him a bit, but this was related to Meng Fan… Regardless of Meng Fan’s relations.h.i.+p with Meng Cai Wei, Meng Fan was still related to them. And since he was involved, they couldn’t stand on the sidelines and not help!
“Don’t worry, we’ve already arranged it!”
“Come on, let’s go over the film shoot for the MV, and await his doom!”
…
Park Jae Hye was waiting for people to arrive as he entered another room, fuming as he waited.
Soon, they arrived.
The person from the company responsible for overseeing his presence during this event had told Park Jae Hye to wait here first. One, there were some posters to sign, and two, he had to rehea.r.s.e his content for a concert.
“Mr. Jiang, you must have heard what happened. Tell me, how are you going to deal with this?! Our Park Jae Hye came here on your invitation, you have to give us an explanation!” The manager’s expression had changed from fearful in the presence of Meng Fan to one of sheer arrogance.
Jiang Cheng cursed them in his heart but maintained his cold exterior. “We already know what happened, and we’ve already contacted that person. He will definitely be providing you with an explanation. But some things I must confirm for myself, so it can ease our communication further on.”
He paused, and asked, “First, did Mr. Park Jae Hye hit that female fan or not?”
The manager shook her head with certainty. “Definitely not!”
Jiang Cheng creased his brows. “Please tell me the truth! The handprint on that female’s face is way too clear, and there were so many witnesses present, if we announce this situation to the outside and it doesn’t add up, it won’t be good for either of us!”
“Don’t worry, the fans present are being dealt with by special personnel, they definitely won’t leak anything negative about Park Jae Hye.” The manager said very curtly.
“So it’s like that…” Jiang Cheng paused for a moment, then asked another question, “Then what kind of repair are you seeking from the opposition?”
“An apology, and compensation!”
Park Jae Hye screamed. “He must apologize until I’m satisfied! And he has to compensate for my mental health, and another 1 million dollars for medical bills…”
Jiang Cheng once again cursed him in his head. “Alright, I know your demands. I will now let them know.”
Jiang Cheng left but returned shortly after. “They don’t accept your request and want you to apologize instead. They said if you don’t apologize, they will contact the police and expose this event to the public.”
“Are they crazy? Police? Even if that’s on the table, we should be the ones to call the police!” The manager was fuming. “Publicize? What are they going to publicize? They don’t have evidence of Park Jae Hye hitting anyone!”
“What if they do?” Jiang Cheng asked.
“No way!”
“Then, you guys for sure aren’t going to apologize, right?”
“Of course! Mr. Jiang, we are the ones requesting an apology from them, how did it end up the other way around? Who’s side are you on?”
“Yours of course! Then I will continue negotiating with them!”
Jiang Cheng left the room, but this time he didn’t return.
