Chapter 358: Offend Everyone But Shen Zhichu

Zheng Xiuxiu was crying breathlessly, her mind full of hatred towards Shen Zhichu. Her phone fell to the ground, the screen facing her, and she stared at the comment on Weibo.

——"Zheng Xiuxiu's white lotus has finally been exposed. Compared with Shen Zhichu, she has no face and her figure is not as good as others. The only thing worth praising is her acting skills. As a result, when her acting skills were brought to the table, she was beaten by the hammer. Fans should stop praising her straightforward personality. To put it bluntly, she is uneducated and has no quality."

Zheng Xiuxiu's eyes were bloodshot, and she choked and said, "Chen Zhichu did it on purpose. She definitely did it on purpose to mess with me! This bitch!"

She clearly had video evidence from the beginning, but she didn't clarify it earlier or later, but instead released it during her press conference! Sent her to hell at the height of her success. How cruel!

Zheng Xiuxiu clenched her fist tightly, her nails digging into the flesh of her palm without her feeling. Hatred had already devoured her senses. Suddenly, she felt a warmth on the back of her hand. Zheng Xiuxiu shivered and looked down, then lowered her eyes to look at Li Yi who was squatting in front of her and covering her hand.

"Xiu Xiu, we were wrong from the beginning, and others are taking advantage of us, but we jumped into this pit of our own accord. It's not a big deal. Every artist has some black material and makes mistakes. As long as we sincerely apologize to the audience and fans, they will forgive us..."

"Pa——" Before Li Yi could finish his words, Zheng Xiuxiu slapped him in the face.

Li Yi didn't react at all and looked at her in a daze.

“Xiu Xiu…”

"Don't call my name!" Zheng Xiuxiu pushed him away and stood up. "What do you mean I did something wrong? What did I do wrong? It was clearly Shen Zhichu who stole my role first! Li Yi, are you also deceived by Shen Zhichu? Do you think she is worse than me in everything? Do you think I am not as good as her? Fine, then go find her and kneel before her to apologize and admit your mistake!"

"No..." Li Yi frowned and looked at her, wanting to explain, but Zheng Xiuxiu didn't give her a chance to explain at all.

"If it weren't for you... I wouldn't have ended up like this. Can't you be more courageous like other men? Why do you always act so timidly? I just despise you for being such a wimp!"

Zheng Xiuxiu complained that if only Bai Qiujing was by her side, she wouldn't have to go to so much trouble to frame Shen Zhichu and could get whatever she wanted easily.

Li Yi stared at Zheng Xiuxiu in a daze. The beautiful pictures in his mind were like fragile bubbles, which cracked and shattered one by one after she spit out malicious words.

They were obviously so close, yet they felt so unfamiliar, he felt as if he had never really known her.

Li Yi smiled bitterly and said, "So in your heart I am such a person, a loser."

Zheng Xiuxiu came back to her senses as if struck by lightning. Her face turned pale and her eyes were filled with fear. She glanced at Li Yi cautiously, wanting to say something but not daring to open her mouth. She pursed her lips and appeared cautious.

She regretted what she had just said, but she didn't think she had said anything wrong. Li Yi was a coward.

But now the only one who can help her is Li Yi. She is eager to get out of this situation, and he is the only one who can take the blame for her. As long as Li Yi admits in public that he was the only one who changed the script and it has nothing to do with her, then she can start over.

It's better for one person to take the blame than two.

She couldn't just end like this. She had finally gotten to where she was today, and now she had been offered a script for the leading female role. She was on the verge of securing a spot in the top spot, and she couldn't just fall down like this.

On the contrary, it was she who brought Li Yi to the forefront this time. He was involved in this matter originally, so it was only natural for him to take the blame for herself.

"Brother, I'm sorry." She lowered her head and apologized obediently, "I said those angry words in the heat of the moment. Angry words shouldn't be taken seriously, you know... I didn't mean any harm."

The room fell into an eerie silence. Zheng Xiuxiu was upset and her heart was in turmoil. She reached out and grabbed Li Yi's hand as usual, calling out affectionately, "Brother, I really didn't mean to say those words. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Li Yi looked at Zheng Xiuxiu's red eyes, and all his emotions disappeared. He couldn't keep a cold face towards him.

Li Yi shook his head, the bitterness on the corner of his mouth never dissipated.

Zheng Xiuxiu understood his character thoroughly, so she took a step forward, put her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest.

This sudden intimacy made Li Yi hold his breath and his heart beat like a drum. He only hugged Zheng Xiuxiu so closely when he was acting with her. In real life, he didn't even dare to hold her hand.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally put his hand on her shoulder and patted her soothingly: "Okay, I don't take it to heart, I forgive you."

He thought Zheng Xiuxiu would let him go as soon as he said that, but he didn't expect the arms around his waist to get tighter and tighter. The two of them were pressed close together, and Li Yi could even feel the softness of her body. Slowly, his face began to become stiff.

Li Yi said hoarsely: "Xiu Xiu?"

"Senior brother, do you like me?" Zheng Xiuxiu raised her head from his chest, and a faint blush appeared on her originally pale face.

Seeing the man staring at her without saying anything, Zheng Xiuxiu knew that the matter was settled. In fact, she had known long before that Li Yi liked her, but she pretended not to know because he didn't say it explicitly.

She placed her hand on Li Yi's chest, her movements intimate, her tone soft: "Brother, I can hear your heartbeat, please don't lie to me."

Li Yi's Adam's apple moved slightly. After a long silence, he sighed: "Yes, I do like you." He had liked his junior sister a long time ago, but he knew that Zheng Xiuxiu's heart was not with him.

In fact, he also knew that Zheng Xiuxiu sometimes had impure thoughts, was too conceited, and looked down on others, but he just liked her. Maybe the reason he was attracted to her was that under certain circumstances she gave him a feeling that others could not give him, which made him think about her for so many years.

Zheng Xiuxiu got the answer she wanted and smiled, "Brother, I already know I was wrong about this matter, but there's no regret medicine in the world that can make me go back to the past. Can you help me?"

Li Yi followed her words and asked, "How can I help you?"

"Now go out and admit in front of the reporters that you orchestrated everything and it had nothing to do with me..."

Now it was Li Yi's turn to turn pale: "You let me go out and face the reporters alone..."

"Don't you like me? Senior brother, just agree. It's better for one person to suffer than two. Although this was my idea, you also benefited from it, didn't you? Besides, according to the program regulations, you are the only one who has the right to modify the script."

Li Yi still stood there without expressing his opinion, which made Zheng Xiuxiu more and more impatient, but she knew that Li Yi was the only one who could help her now. She had to put all the responsibility on him and absolutely could not let Chen Zhichu ruin her!

She tiptoed slightly to Li Yi's earlobe and said in a low voice: "Brother, as long as you agree, I will be with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yi pushed her away. Zheng Xiuxiu was caught off guard and staggered back. She grabbed the nearest chair to steady herself.

"Zheng Xiuxiu, love is not a transaction."

"Then are you going to refuse? Do you really have the heart to see me being blackened and destroyed by the entire Internet? Senior brother, I am not like you. I want to live better than anyone else and keep moving up. Do you know how much time and energy I have spent to get to where I am today? I don't want to see all my efforts go to waste. Senior brother, please help me and take the blame for me. I will compensate you in the future." Zheng Xiuxiu's voice was filled with tears. She spoke with confidence, but she felt guilty and did not dare to look Li Yi in the eye.

"Brother, haven't you always loved me the most? Before my teacher died, he asked you to help me more. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

She actually used her feelings and her teacher to pressure him? Li Yi gritted his teeth, his hands hanging at his sides clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"What's more... weren't you in a hurry to apologize to Shen Zhichu just now..." Her voice became smaller and smaller.

"That's enough, no more words." Li Yi interrupted in a deep voice.

Zheng Xiuxiu carefully raised her eyes and glanced at Li Yi. Seeing that his face was gloomy and heavy, she pursed her thin lips. For a moment, she even forgot to pretend to be aggrieved and just looked at him stiffly.

"I'm going out now and saying that this whole thing has nothing to do with you."

Zheng Xiuxiu's face lit up with joy: "Really?"

Li Yi looked at her happy face, and his heart became more complicated. For a moment, he felt as if he had swallowed shards of glass, and his throat and chest were twitching with pain.

He could only clench his fists tightly to divert the dull pain.

"The whole thing has nothing to do with you, and I have nothing to do with you anymore."

Zheng Xiuxiu moved her lips: "Senior Brother."

"Don't call me senior brother anymore. CP fans and showing off affection are all a joke." The sparse light in his eyes dimmed at this moment. He took one last look at Zheng Xiuxiu, then turned around and walked out without hesitation.

Zheng Xiuxiu looked at her back and wanted to call out to him, but in the end she couldn't speak.

Since she decided to let Li Yi take the blame for her, she would not regret it. It's okay, she hypnotized herself.

She will use her resources to make up for his loss in the future. Besides, Li Yi has gained popularity this time. Being a black and red is also being red. Moreover, the Internet is updating very quickly, and everyone will soon forget this little thing.

…………. .

Shen Zhichu was packing her luggage in the hotel when many people called her, including Director Cheng, Xu Nian, Wang Xiangrong and Bai Qiujing.

Especially when Wang Xiangrong called, he gloated, "Zheng Xiuxiu must be regretting it now, right? She knows she shouldn't have provoked you. Hey, I was wondering how you got the recordings and videos? And you kept it a secret so tightly, not revealing a single word. You don't know how worried I was these past two days, I couldn't even sleep well, my hair was almost falling out."

"What's the point of regret? There's no regret medicine in this world."

"That's true. Zheng Xiuxiu shouldn't dare to cause trouble now, right?" Wang Xiangrong asked proudly.

After hearing this, Shen Zhichu smiled lightly: "That's not necessarily true."

"Is this matter not over yet? Is there a sequel?"

"Director Wang, have you ever heard of the term licking a dog? A dog licking until it has nothing left? Li Yi's feelings for Zheng Xiuxiu won't let her go like this."

Wang Xiangrong was a smart man and instantly understood what Shen Zhichu meant: “Are you saying that Li Yi will come out to take the blame?”

"I didn't say that." But he didn't deny it either.

"I was thinking that if you couldn't come up with a solution, I would send out your audition process to see if these people with eyes are blind."

"That's not necessary. The scenes she and I auditioned for were different, so it's hard for the audience to compare. But..." Shen Zhichu paused, then added, "If you really want to post it, it's okay, but not at this time."

It's boring to kill someone with a slap. If all the exciting parts are released, what else is there to watch?

"I understand one thing now, that is, I can offend no one but you." As he spoke, Wang Xiangrong sighed over the phone.

Zheng Xiuxiu is also a good seedling among actors. She is beautiful and has a talent for acting. If she is not so jealous, conceited and does not act like a troublemaker, her reputation will continue to rise.

Wang Xiangrong originally planned to cast Zheng Xiuxiu as his daughter Zhao Zijin, but it was just a plan. Without signing a contract, everything could change. Then he met Shen Zhichu, who was more suitable to play Zhao Zijin than her.

Wang Xiangrong originally wanted to recommend Zheng Xiuxiu to other directors, but he did not expect Zheng Xiuxiu to directly post on Weibo to oppose the entire crew and openly challenge them.

Now all I can say is that if you don’t do it, you won’t die.

There was no extra expression on Shen Zhichu's face. He just nodded lightly and said, "Thank you."
