After hanging up the phone, her thoughtful expression turned completely gloomy, and she gave a cold snort.

"Marriage? Ha! Keep dreaming!"

She would never marry a fat, deadbeat.

That evening, Lu Zheng uploaded the relevant surveillance video online, and the rumors were dispelled.

Because of his previous actions, his reputation wasn't very good, so many people had doubts this time as well. However, after seeing the surveillance video, everyone quickly understood what had happened.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged her! This woman really is no good!"

"Exactly, after these incidents, I've stopped being a fan. I'll never support such a brainless and vicious woman again!"

"They even said that no girl would joke about her innocence, but isn't this a perfect example!"

Netizens angrily criticized Shen Si on her social media platform.

Feeling depressed after being criticized, I simply turned off the comments section.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhen felt relieved.

Evil people will be punished; this is the appropriate price to pay.

However, the shadows left on the parties involved are indelible and unforgettable.

Seeing that Qiao Luosheng still looked preoccupied, Lu Zheng couldn't help but make another call.

On the other side, she was already exhausted from thinking about this matter for most of the night, and then she saw Lu Zheng calling her.

"Hello?" The thoughtful tone carried a hint of inquiry.

"You need to apologize to us now, just like you asked us to apologize to you before."

Lu Zheng's icy voice came from the other end of the phone. Chen Si was already on the verge of collapse from being scolded, and now he couldn't help but want to end this matter.

"Okay, okay, I'll apologize to him, just tell him to come over!"

Although Chen Si was somewhat impatient, his tone had long lost its previous arrogance.

Lu Zheng didn't say anything, but simply called Qiao Luosheng over.

After this incident, Qiao Luosheng never saw Chen Si again. Hearing her voice on the other end of the phone by chance made him a little nervous.

"I've called him over. You can apologize now. Remember, apologize sincerely."

He took a deep breath and then slowly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, I shouldn't have used public opinion to slander and defame you. I have deeply realized my mistake and hope you can forgive me."

Hearing her thoughtful words, Qiao Luosheng was too lazy to argue with her anymore. Just as he was about to agree, he heard Lu Zheng next to him frown.

"Is this all there is to an apology?"

Hearing this, Chen Si was about to explode, but he managed to hold back.

"Mr. Lu, what attitude do you think we should adopt in apologizing?"

Lu Zheng was silent for a moment: "How about this, you record an apology video."

"What?" She pondered, even doubting whether she had misheard. She could accept a verbal apology, but once it was recorded as a video, it could be viewed and shared by millions of people. The impact on her would be far greater than a verbal apology over the phone.

Soon, Chen Si realized his lapse in composure and quickly changed his attitude, saying, "I don't think it's necessary. Since Mr. Qiao has already forgiven me, let's just let this matter go."

Unexpectedly, Qiao Luosheng suddenly spoke up: "How can this be? It's clearly your fault. If Mr. Lu hadn't helped me, I would be the one apologizing today!"

Lu Zheng, who was standing next to her, seized the opportunity to say, "Miss Chen, do you remember what you said when you asked Qiao Luosheng to apologize to you?"

He fell into deep thought, his face turning pale.

"Not only do you want Qiao Luosheng to apologize in person via video, but you also want his family to apologize with him. I won't hold your intentions against you, but I hope you can keep your promise and apologize to him as you did to him back then." Qiao Zhen, who had walked over at some point, said to the other end of the phone, word by word.

Her request wasn't excessive; it was simply a matter of giving someone a taste of their own medicine.

As expected, upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone remained silent for several seconds before finally saying "I understand" and hanging up.

"So, sis, is this the end of it for us?"

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Luosheng looked at Qiao Zhen cautiously, not daring to say anything more.

"Probably, let's see how she apologizes tomorrow. It's late, you should go to sleep."

After Qiao Luosheng fell asleep, Qiao Zhen lay in bed, tossing and turning, still unable to fall asleep.

"Why aren't you asleep? Is something on your mind?"

Seeing the gloom in Qiao Zhen's eyes, Lu Zheng, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but ask with concern.

"No..." Qiao Zhen sighed, clearly not wanting Lu Zheng to know.

Tell me what's wrong.

Seeing Qiao Zhen like this, Lu Zheng also lost his temper, turned her head to his side, and forced her to look at him.

"I……"

The man's strength was gentle, yet it left Qiao Zhen unable to move. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "I always felt that this matter was not so simple."

"How so?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen sighed: "No matter what, Chen Si still has some brains. She wouldn't do something like this without any certainty."

"Moreover, the expression on her face after hearing that the surveillance footage had been repaired showed that someone was directing her to do this, so I think the big boss behind the scenes has not yet shown up."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but connect it with what had happened between him and Qiao Yun before.

"Hmm." He responded softly, a determined look flashing between his brows. "We'll meet whatever comes our way, as long as we trust each other, we can overcome any difficulty."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen nodded.

The two slept until dawn. When Qiao Zhen got up and went online again, Chen Si had already posted the apology video.

Because she took the initiative to admit her mistake, many fans changed their opinion of her.

"It has to be said that everyone makes mistakes, and she even took the initiative to apologize in a video. What more can be said about such sincerity!"

Seeing these comments online, Qiao Zhen just snorted coldly and had no intention of releasing the recording of their phone call last night.

It was at this moment that she received a private message from Chensi.

"How about this, will you let me go?"

Seeing this, Qiao Zhen nodded: "Yes, I hope Miss Shen will not do such things again in the future. Let's keep things peaceful."

Upon hearing this, Chen Si simply indicated that the message had been read but did not reply further.

After so many days, the production team was nearing the end of the project, and Qiao Zhen planned to go for one last day to completely finish the work.

When she re-entered the film set, everyone was looking at her, but their attitudes were completely different.

Qiao Zhen smiled and then said to the boss, "Excuse me, I just arrived. May I ask if we can start work now?"

"sure."

The boss greeted Qiao Zhen with a fawning smile and said, "Miss Qiao, we'll be relying on you for the rest of this drama, so thank you for your help."
