Volume 1 Chapter 82 Seeds of Doubt
Zhu Sheng coldly watched the care that others showed Lin Muyun and felt that something was not right.
Lin Muyun's words and actions are too inconsistent, and upon closer inspection, few of his words hold water.
She said she didn't want to talk about the affair because she wanted to avoid damaging He Yao's future.
But in reality, she allowed the rumors of her cheating to spread on the Internet for nearly half a year.
Every time when the situation was about to calm down, he would come out again, speechless and choking in front of the camera, wanting to say something but hesitating, and making one or two small news, for fear that others would forget this incident.
These days, you don't need any real evidence to destroy a person's reputation.
A few ambiguous words and a few meaningful expressions are enough to convict a person on the Internet.
It’s such a simple truth that even Zhu Sheng, who has been in this world for less than a month, knows it. How could a big star like Lin Muyun, who has been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, not know it?
The same was true on the show, where He Yao's cheating was often used as an excuse, as if it was an all-purpose shield that could handle any situation that was unfavorable to Lin Muyun at any time.
Just like the current charity dinner event, it was clearly Lin Muyun who did something wrong and caused a big embarrassment.
But in the blink of an eye, after Lin Muyun's crying, it was He Yao's endless pestering that made her very troubled.
However, when He Yao wanted to face her seriously and confess his infidelity, Lin Muyun strangely backed off.
You can obviously play the victim, stand on the moral high ground, blame others as much as you want, and enjoy the sympathetic or encouraging gazes of the onlookers.
How could she give up such a good opportunity so easily?
In addition, when He Yao confessed, Lin Muyun's eyes were erratic and his behavior was strange, as if he was afraid that He Yao would talk too much.
There must be something fishy going on!
There was a gleam of sharpness in Zhu Sheng's eyes. She ignored the atmosphere on the scene and did not try to comfort Lin Muyun. Instead, she went straight to the point and asked He Yao again.
"He Yao, from what you just said, it seems that you didn't cheat on her intentionally. Do you remember what happened in the middle? How did Lin Muyun find out? Did the person you cheated on tell you anything later?"
Before Zhu Sheng could finish her question, He Yao angrily interrupted her series of questions.
"Ms. Zhu, didn't you see how sad Mu Yun was crying just now? If you had any sympathy, you should have kept silent at this time instead of continuing to question me aggressively.
If this matter only involves me, or if Mu Yun can calm down because I was scolded, then I will definitely tell her everything I know. It doesn't matter if I reveal all this privacy. But now that she doesn't want to listen, I won't say any more.
I know that you have been feeling resentful towards Mu Yun because of Gu Chiye's incident. I understand your feelings, but you should be moderate in everything. Don't make yourself look ugly just because you resent others."
He Yao completely misunderstood Zhu Sheng's intention, thinking that she wanted to continue to provoke Lin Muyun, so he refuted Zhu Sheng's question without any hesitation.
Most of the netizens in the live broadcast room also stood on He Yao's side at this time.
[I'm not saying this, but does this woman Zhu Sheng have a heart? When Lin Muyun was crying like that, she was not only very calm, but she also nonchalantly exposed other people's scars. Is she trying to play the role of a righteous partner in the show again? ]
[I think she is addicted to catching cheating. She got too much traffic last time so she wants to stabilize this character completely. But she doesn't think about it. Han Yang's cheating was hidden, while He Yao's cheating was self-exposure. The two situations are completely different. The couple can just talk about it behind closed doors. What does it have to do with you, Zhu Sheng? ]
[Does anyone think that Zhu Sheng's question is extremely scary when you think about it carefully? The more you listen to it, the more it sounds like she is trying to help He escape? Although she and Lin Muyun have always been at odds, shouldn't she stand on the side of women at this time? ]
[That question is indeed a weird one. What do you mean by not cheating on purpose? Did anyone force He Yao to cheat? Isn't it just lust and lust that drives him crazy? Why do you have to find so many excuses?]
[She must be unhappy about Lin Muyun's love confession to Mr. Gu. She and Mr. Gu were on the same side at the fashion dinner before. Maybe they won't divorce after the cooling-off period. How can she tolerate any unexpected events now?]
Seeing He Yao's angry look, Zhu Sheng was not angry at all. He just continued to state his opinion calmly.
"He Yao, if my questioning makes you feel uncomfortable, then I can only say sorry to you, but I firmly believe that the best way to overcome fear is to face it.
The reason I ask you this is because during this period of time when we were together, I unilaterally believed that you were a good husband who deeply loved Lin Muyun, and I don't want you to have any indelible regrets in this marriage.
I suggest that, for both Lin Muyun and yourself, you should seriously investigate the affair again. Even if you can't save your marriage, at least you should find out what hurt you."
Hearing Zhu Sheng's kind advice, He Yao's eyes moved slightly and he was no longer as furious as before.
This incident has been his nightmare for the past six months.
When I first found out, I felt like the sky was falling. Then I apologized to Lin Muyun in many ways, and then I had to deal with various groundless marketing accounts.
At the same time, he is also busy with a series of things including the post-production and promotion of the new movie.
This cycle of abuse had exhausted him to the point where he was traumatized whenever he heard the word "cheating".
Not to mention an in-depth investigation, he usually didn't even want to think about it. He just hoped to do more to give Lin Muyun some real compensation, both materially and spiritually.
Thinking about it now, his memory of that night is very vague. He did not dare to ask too much at that time. After waking up, he hurriedly gave the 18th-tier actress a small sum of hush money, and they never had any contact again after that.
Everything was too logical.
However, logically speaking, he is also a famous director, so how could the other party let it go so easily?
Could it be that there really was someone behind the scenes plotting to break up him and Lin Muyun?
Thinking of this, He Yao broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that this matter was indeed worth going back and finding someone to investigate further.
Seeing He Yao's thoughtful look, Zhu Sheng immediately felt relieved. It seemed that he probably listened to what he said.
Now is the countdown stage of their marriage, and there is also a potential rival, Gu Chiye, who may snatch Lin Muyun away at any time.
At this moment, He Yao was much more anxious than at any time before.
In order to save his marriage, he will do whatever it takes and will not miss any opportunity.
It just so happened that Zhu Sheng provided him with a new idea, and at the same time planted a seed of doubt between He Yao and Lin Muyun.
Once this seed takes root and sprouts, new signs of events may emerge.
By then Zhu Sheng will know what Lin Muyun's plan is and whether she is behind the original owner's tragic fate.
