Zhou Yi'an sent Liang Shi only a few pictures, photos of Bai Weiwei and the directors entering a private room and voluntarily drinking together.
None of these are from a surveillance camera perspective.
At that point, Bai Weiwei won't even have a chance to sue.
Liang Shi had prepared all the evidence and was just waiting for Chen Liuying to respond to the matter.
After Changli officially announced its spokesperson, Chen Liuying's studio posted a related Weibo post.
Chen Liuying herself did not post anything on her Weibo account.
By the time the hype had died down, everyone had completely accepted that Xu Qingzhu was the one who did it.
Neither of the two companies issued a lawyer's letter, and Xu Qingzhu herself has not made a statement. Her friend's statement was also inconsistent, so it must be solid evidence.
At this point, Chen Liuying posted on Weibo: [It's a private matter, nothing serious. I'm busy filming and didn't mean to take up public resources. Thank you for your concern.]
—It's a private matter, nothing serious.
Doesn't that mean he was beaten?
Celebrities often post ambiguous content on Weibo because fans will fill in the blanks in their minds.
After this Weibo post was published, fans immediately flooded Minghui Jewelry's official Weibo account with comments.
[Why don't you just let your young lady die?]
[Does capitalism make you superior? Is there any human rights left in this world?]
[Damn it! I'm furious! I'll make sure your young lady dies!]
[...]
Chen Liuying's fans used foul language, which escalated to personal attacks.
After seeing her Weibo post, Liang Shi signaled to Xu Qingzhu that she could step forward.
So after a day of making a fuss, Xu Qingzhu directly tagged Bai Weiwei and Chen Liuying.
@许清竹-Blanche: @白薇薇 @陈流萤, are you sure I hit someone?
Chapter 59
Chen Liuying, who had just finished filming, returned to the dressing room, where her assistant handed her a glass of warm water.
She gulped down a few mouthfuls, then frowned and asked, "What did you put in the water?"
"Honey," the assistant said timidly. "It was Sister Weiwei who asked me to add it; it's good for your throat."
"It's too sweet." Chen Liuying put down her cup and said coldly, "Don't add these kinds of random things to the water in the future."
“But Sister Weiwei…” The assistant was about to explain when Chen Liuying interrupted, “You’re my assistant, not Bai Weiwei’s, understand?”
The overwhelming aura made the assistant shiver and immediately say, "Understood."
"Give me your phone." Chen Liuying reached out to her, and the assistant immediately rummaged through her bag to find her phone. However, she hesitated for a moment when handing it back, looking at Chen Liuying as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Chen Liuying felt that the new assistant was a bit stupid and not nearly as good as the previous one.
But the previous one was targeted by Bai Weiwei because she was too beautiful, and she couldn't continue working there, so she resigned.
Now that she's been replaced by this guy who's not very good-looking and not very efficient, Chen Liuying is getting a little annoyed.
She has always liked things that look good.
For example—Xu Qingzhu.
However, such a person was not someone she could even dream of; she simply couldn't get past Bai Weiwei.
I used to think Bai Weiwei was beautiful, capable at work, and most importantly, aloof and abstinent. But after I got to know her, I found out... it was all an illusion.
In reality, she is possessive, stingy, selfish, sharp-tongued, and loves to pretend to be generous.
Chen Liuying was getting a little tired of it too.
Unfortunately, Bai Weiwei is a rather shrewd agent. Currently, all of her business has to go through Bai Weiwei's hands. Until she reaches the stage of becoming a big star, she cannot change agents.
Of course, we can't break up either.
Actually, she used to like Bai Weiwei quite a bit. Bai Weiwei was a rich heiress with strong work skills. She was usually very good at having fun without any instruction. At first, she was shy, but later, they got along very well in bed.
But ever since the Huayue International incident came to light, Bai Weiwei has become increasingly impatient and possessive. Her personal time and space have been constantly squeezed, leaving her feeling suffocated.
Today was a rare occasion; Bai Weiwei didn't follow her out to film.
They probably had a few words exchanged yesterday, and Bai Weiwei was a little angry.
She was, after all, a young lady from a wealthy family. While not extremely rich, she was well-off and had a smooth-sailing life.
Her words, such as "Look at yourself now," "Don't stop being my manager just because you're my girlfriend," and "Can't you even do your job properly anymore?" probably hurt Miss Bai's pride, so I gave her some space today.
Chen Liuying recalled yesterday's events while unlocking her phone.
What's even more remarkable is that Bai Weiwei didn't send her any messages today.
Normally, she would have sent more than a dozen messages asking about the filming situation and progress.
Chen Liuying was still a little unaccustomed to her sudden coldness.
So she looked up and asked her assistant, "Has Bai Weiwei contacted you?"
"Does asking about your filming progress count?" the assistant replied in a low voice.
This is the real Bai Weiwei.
Chen Liuying felt relieved. She then pondered what gift to give Bai Weiwei to appease her and ensure the longevity of her career.
At this moment, Chen Liuying would feel a pang of regret. Why did she ever date her manager?
The other party has leverage over her and her fatal weakness, making it difficult for her to break up with him.
However, Bai Weiwei is indeed a relatively easy and high-quality target for her at present.
As for the others, we'll have to wait until she reaches a higher status before we can get close to them.
At that point, she would definitely have to coax Bai Weiwei into breaking up with him.
For her, Bai Weiwei did not meet the standards for marriage.
Chen Liuying searched for small gifts on a shopping app, randomly placed an order, and exited the app. Just as she was about to switch to Weibo, she noticed her assistant looking at her with a hesitant expression.
Chen Liuying frowned: "Is there anything else?"
"No..." The assistant looked at her timidly, then added after a moment, "You could say there is..."
Before the words were even finished, a crew member knocked on the door. "Mr. Chen, we need you to film one more scene. You'll have to come back again."
Chen Liuying's attitude towards the stagehands was quite good; she immediately replied, "Okay, coming."
After saying that, he turned off his phone, tossed it to his assistant, and said impatiently, "Just say what you need to say, or don't beat around the bush."
Chen Liuying glanced at her sideways as she spoke, "It's annoying to look at."
The assistant shuddered in fright and immediately replied, "Understood."
They dared not speak again.
The subsequent reshoots consisted of only two shots, but they were extremely demanding in terms of camera presence.
But for someone who is good-looking and has no bad angles, they are born with a sense of the camera, so Chen Liuying's reshoot went smoothly. But what she couldn't understand was that everyone on the set was looking at her with a hint of something in their eyes.
Those eyes contained intense curiosity and inquiry.
Chen Liuying was already used to being watched by others, but she could still easily distinguish between appreciation and inquiry.
Until she finished reshooting, her assistant handed her warm water without any added ingredients.
After taking a few sips, Chen Liuying looked at her assistant and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
"No," the assistant immediately denied.
"Then why are they all looking at me?" Chen Liuying asked.
Assistant: "..."
After a brief silence, the assistant said hesitantly, "You should check Weibo."
Chen Liuying raised an eyebrow: "Is there a negative trending topic about me?"
The assistant pursed her lips: "...Probably...not really..."
Chen Liuying was too lazy to listen to her rambling nonsense and directly opened Weibo.
It was evening when she saw her name linked with that of the heiress of Minghui Jewelry, and her brows immediately furrowed.
She quickly browsed the entries and the public square, and then opened her own Weibo account to check. She found that this account had recently posted an ambiguous Weibo post.
...
It's obvious that Bai Weiwei did it.
The video of her in the bathroom that day was leaked, and she got Changli's endorsement.
She was still enjoying a high online following and receiving sympathy from netizens, and her Weibo followers were still increasing, but for some reason, she felt a vague unease. Most importantly, Bai Weiwei had kept all of this a secret from her!
Chen Liuying's face changed with anger. She picked up her coat and walked out, telling her assistant, "Back to the company."
As she walked away, she overheard passersby discussing the matter.
"Was Chen Liuying beaten? She looks arrogant and domineering; it's more likely she'd hit someone."
"What? The person who hit her is the young mistress of Dongheng. I heard that the third young lady of the Liang family is not someone to be trifled with. How dare she touch someone's wife? She probably wants to be blacklisted."
"That's true, an actor is just an actor after all."
"Sigh, the entertainment industry is just a plaything of capitalists. Chen Liuying is only arrogant within a small circle. Does she dare to jump up there?"
"It seems that her agent's incident last time was to get resources for her. In the end, where the money is, there is the power."
"Yeah, in the face of capital, Chen Liuying is nothing but a dog. What's so surprising about her getting beaten up?"
"..."
At that moment, Chen Liuying and her assistant were standing in the elevator as the elevator doors slowly closed.
