"Brother Yu, I didn't cheat on you."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then the call was disconnected.
Bai Yanfei didn't know what Ling Zeyu's attitude was. He waited for the driver at the back door. There was still some distance to the parking spot when he opened the door. He didn't expect there to be reporters there as well.
The camera flashes went off incessantly, and many people were hurling insults at him. What they saw on their phones was just text, but in reality, it turned into verbal attacks against him.
The impact of reality is incomparable to that of the internet. Bai Yanfei walked quickly with his head down.
Suddenly a mineral water bottle flew over and hit him.
Bai Yanfei was stunned. He subconsciously looked in the direction from which the mineral water bottle had flown, and there was a man wearing sunglasses.
"How dare you marry Ling Zeyu! You shameless woman!"
More and more people started throwing things at him, including water bottles. It hurt a lot when they hit him; he could feel the bruises on his skin.
People threw whatever they were holding at him, and some even took off their phone cases and threw them at him.
They cursed him to die while launching personal attacks against him.
Having finally gotten into the driver's car, Bai Yanfei was at a loss for what expression to make.
The driver drove off, and even through the car window, he could feel the fans' anger.
Some people were still chasing the car, and the driver dared not drive it back to the Ling family home, nor did he dare drive it back to the villa.
Bai Yanfei noticed the driver's predicament; the driver had been driving on the highway for a long time.
"Let me call Brother Yu and ask."
Bai Yanfei tried calling several times without getting through, but no one answered. Undeterred, he called again.
"Don't come back. Go stay in a hotel for a while."
"good."
Ling Zeyu hung up the phone before Bai Yanfei could reply. After shaking off the people behind him, the driver took Bai Yanfei to Ling's hotel.
Moving from one hotel to another felt like a dream to Bai Yanfei.
Isn't today his wedding? Why did it turn out like this? These past few days he's been receiving blessings from fans, but today, all those fans who blessed him have turned into people who hurt him.
The driver brought him several sets of clean clothes. Bai Yanfei looked at the unrecognizable suit and reluctantly took it off to change into his pajamas.
His white suit was covered in dirt, and he had several bruises on his body from being hit. Unable to find his medication in the room, he called the front desk to ask them to buy some for him.
Ling Zeyu wouldn't let him go out; he even kept the windows closed.
The internet is flooded with news about him, and many people are demanding that he speak out. Ling Zeyu can't control the situation, or rather, Ling Zeyu simply doesn't care.
Aside from posting a Weibo message in support of Bai Yanfei, Ling Zeyu made no other statement, as he is currently still dealing with company matters.
This incident has already affected his company and his unreleased films. Investors are dissatisfied, as this scandal also impacts their films; they don't want such a person in their movies.
Ling Zeyu's agent went to apologize one by one, saying that this was a misunderstanding, but the video had already been released, and in this short video, it was not clear that Bai Yanfei was forced; in fact, it was clear that Bai Yanfei was somewhat compliant.
Only Bai Yanfei himself knew what had really happened that day. He had no idea that the incident had been recorded on video and that the video had been released on his wedding day.
Bai Yanfei sat blankly behind the door, seemingly searching for something to lean on, but apart from the cold, hard wall, he had nothing left to rely on.
Su Kai called at that moment, but Bai Yanfei didn't say anything after answering.
"Where are you now? Are you alright? I'm coming to find you."
Bai Yanfei remained silent, which made Su Kai even more anxious.
"Speak up, Xiao Yan?! Bai Yanfei?! I am Su Kai!"
“Senior…” Bai Yanfei sobbed, “I didn’t cheat on you.”
"I know, I know. Don't panic. I just calmed Grandma down. She's fine now, so you don't need to worry."
"Grandma—" Bai Yanfei suddenly realized, "And Grandma, is she alright? Will Grandma think I..."
"No, no, Grandma believes in you, don't worry." Su Kai tried his best to soothe Bai Yanfei's emotions. "Where are you now? Tell your senior, I won't tell anyone."
"I'm in the hotel," Bai Yanfei said softly. "I'm in Brother Yu's hotel. I'm all alone here. There are no media around. Don't come over. I'm afraid you'll get caught in the crossfire."
"I saw the news, someone threw something at you, didn't they? How could these people do this!" Su Kai was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
"It's alright, it's normal for them to be angry." Bai Yanfei sniffed. "Now let's just wait for Brother Yu to handle it."
“Him?” Su Kai snorted coldly.
He now knew exactly what Ling Zeyu was doing. Ling Zeyu wasn't considering Bai Yanfei at all; he was only thinking about himself.
"How is Brother Yu doing? Has he been very busy?"
"Hmm." Su Kai naturally wouldn't tell Bai Yanfei, otherwise Bai Yanfei would have a meltdown.
"You should stay in the hotel for a while and not go out. I can bring you anything you need."
"Okay." Bai Yanfei held back his tears. He had always been a strong person, but at this moment he knew there was nothing he could do. He couldn't even clarify things because he had no evidence.
His face is clearly visible in the video; he doesn't even have the right to tell the truth.
"Don't keep thinking about that. That person is already in prison, and I won't let him have a chance to get out."
"Hmm." Bai Yanfei didn't want to talk. He looked down at the floor. Now only Su Kai was with him.
"Are you hungry? You haven't eaten all day. Give me your address and I'll order takeout for you."
Bai Yanfei shook his head. He suddenly realized that he was on the phone and Su Kai couldn't see him.
"I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat anything."
“You can’t not eat. Do you want to make Grandma worry? You already have a stomach problem, and you still dare not eat? Be careful, or I’ll tell Grandma.”
"I'll have the front desk send it over later."
Bai Yanfei knew that Su Kai would come over after he gave him the address, so he dared not say it.
Su Kai silently looked up at the operating room light that had come on. He only hoped that Bai Yanfei wouldn't find out about his grandmother's critical condition so soon.

Chapter 54 The Ling family will absolutely not allow such an unclean person to marry into the family.
Su Kai chatted with Bai Yanfei until the surgery was over, at which point he made an excuse to hang up.
Seeing the doctor's expression, Su Kai roughly knew what was going on.
Grandma probably doesn't have much time left.
This news was like a bolt from the blue for Bai Yanfei. Su Kai knew very well that his grandmother was very important to him.
"Don't tell Xiaoyan yet."
"Family members have an obligation to know these details. I'm sorry, but this is hospital policy."
Su Kaixi moved his lips: "Can't we delay for a few more days?"
“Xiao Yan is emotionally unstable right now, I’m afraid he’ll have to go to the hospital too.” Su Kai is quite familiar with the doctor, so they are still discussing it.
“You know Xiaoyan’s current situation, and you also know how important Grandma is to Xiaoyan.”
"That's why I wanted to tell Xiaoyan."
The nurse next to him whispered a few words in the attending physician's ear, and Su Kai only saw the doctor's subtle expression.
"Oh, I see... Then I won't tell him yet. You can visit him after he's sober."
"Okay, thank you for your understanding, doctor."
Su Kai breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare leave the hospital, and Bai Yanfei refused to reveal which hotel he was staying at. The Ling family owned several hotels in the area, and searching them one by one wasn't a solution; he had no way of getting any information about Bai Yanfei.
Ling Zeyu has definitely blocked any news about Bai Yanfei. With such a thing happening on their wedding day and no one by his side, Su Kai is very worried about Bai Yanfei. He doesn't know how much longer Bai Yanfei can hold on.
The internet is full of negative news about Bai Yanfei, and Su Kai guesses that Bai Yanfei will definitely... How sad he must be to see these comments.
After hanging up the phone, Rong Xuan called Bai Yanfei. Bai Yanfei was surprised that there were still elders in the Ling family who remembered him.
His first words were to clarify the truth of the matter with Rong Xuan.
"Auntie, I didn't betray Brother Yu..."
"This...that...what's going on with that video?" Rong Xuan wasn't stupid. She could tell that it wasn't the Bai Yanfei from recently. Both in terms of temperament and clothing style, the Bai Yanfei in the video looked like he had just graduated from high school.
"That is..." Bai Yanfei hesitated, unsure how to begin. After all, it wasn't something to be proud of; it was even a source of psychological trauma for him.
“It’s a video of me being almost molested…” Bai Yanfei took a deep breath. “Auntie, believe me, I really didn’t do such a thing.”
"Is everything in the video real?" Rong Xuanke asked. This was what bothered her the most. If it was fake, she could still accept Bai Yanfei.
The Ling family will absolutely not allow such an unclean person to marry into the family.
"No, my senior arrived later, and that person didn't do anything to me."
"Is what you said true? Were the subsequent events filmed?"
Bai Yanfei opened his mouth.
"I...I don't know."
"Then do you know where this person is now?" Rong Xuan asked, then immediately contradicted herself. "Forget it, this person might turn around and bite you back. Who was the one who saved you?"
"It's Senior Su Kai."
"Su Kai? That good-for-nothing from the Su family?"
Bai Yanfei remained noncommittal. Although Su Kai was a member of the Su family, he did not consider him a good-for-nothing.
“Xiaoyu is busy with company matters right now. You should stay at the hotel for a while. Remember not to reveal your whereabouts, otherwise it will be too dangerous.” Rong Xuan sighed. “Because of this matter, Grandpa and Ling Tianxu are not very optimistic about you.”
Bai Yanfei was immediately disheartened.
He had worked so hard for so long, and finally got Ling Zeyu to agree to marry him, but after this incident, everyone is denying him, even though he is the victim.
"I will find a way to investigate this matter thoroughly, so don't worry."
"Yes, thank you, Auntie."
