At that time, Huo Mian was already exhausted from the events during the day and fallen asleep a long time ago.
Therefore, Qin Chu picked up her phone and replied to Su Yu on Wechat. “She’s asleep.”
“Oh.” Su Yu felt a little awkward since he didn’t want to bother the couple. He told Qin Chu to take a look at the news, and as expected, Ni Yang was exposed with another scandal.
He was one of the top superstars, so his scandals receive attention as soon as they were disclosed.
Su Yu originally thought that, with his tacit agreement, Ni Yang’s relations.h.i.+p scandal would pa.s.s quickly. To his surprise, however, that night a netizen posted a story onto a popular forum, ill.u.s.trating Ni Yang’s family background.
So, the story talked about his mother and father, and that his mother had a child with another man. It also talked about how Ni Yang was a g.a.n.g.b.a.n.ger when he was young, and that he was uneducated and violent.
Qin Chu knew how important Ni Yang was to Huo Mian, so he frowned after reading the forum post. He typed back to Su Yu with Huo Mian’s WeChat, “What do you plan on doing?”
“None of us wanted this to happen, but right now I can only ask the company to release a statement and claim that everything was made up. Then, we’re going to sue whoever uploaded the post… I don’t know how this will end up though.”
“Mhm, okay, the statement is a good idea. I’ll tell her what happened tomorrow morning,” Qin Chu replied.
“Sounds good.” Su Yu then logged off.
– The next morning –
Qin Chu told Huo Mian what happened as soon as she woke up. The latter opened up WeChat and read through their conversation; then, her expression fell.
“What are you thinking about, Honey?” Qin Chu asked.
“This can’t be a coincidence, and I don’t think it was the work of paparazzi. Someone released this information on purpose.”
“Ni Yang’s haters?” Qin Chu raised an eyebrow.
“The entertainment industry is more complicated than that. I think when something affects a person’s profit, they’ll go through all means possible to either recover what they’ve lost or take revenge just to make themselves feel better…” Huo Mian said, her words sounding a bit ambiguous.
“So what do you plan on doing now?”
“I feel like I need to go see someone and talk to her,” Huo Mian replied calmly; Qin Chu could guess who she was referring to.
“Should I go with you?” Qin Chu offered.
Huo Mian coyishly leaned against her husband’s chest. “It’s okay, you don’t have to go through the trouble with me, I can deal with her with one hand. Don’t worry and trust me, okay?”
“Okay then, but if something happens, call me immediately.”
“Okay, I’m going to work now. I have a meeting this morning.”
“You’re not going to have breakfast?” Qin Chu frowned.
“No, I don’t have time.” Then, Huo Mian immediately got up to get ready for work.
After she changed and arrived downstairs, she saw a sandwich and a carton of milk on the dining table.
“You’re becoming an expert at warming me up, Honey,” Huo Mian commented happily as she picked up her breakfast and left home in a hurry, leaving the twins, Qin Ning, and Qin Chu sitting around the dining table.
“Daddy, have you ever thought that letting Mommy go back to South Side was a mistake?” Pudding asked as she ate breakfast.
“Baby, what do you mean by that?” Qin Chu looked up at her curiously.
