Falling in love with the movie star 14
Tao Yuan is now being scolded not only by his CP fans, who call him a mistress who ruins other people's relationships, but also by some of Zheng Xuanlin's sole fans, who accuse him of seducing Zheng Xuanlin and being shameless. There are also some passers-by who, seeing others calling him a mistress, join in the scolding, believing that mistresses are hateful and should be condemned.
There were a lot of fans gathered outside Rising Company. Whenever Tao Yuan appeared, someone would throw things at him.
Zheng Xuanlin comforted Tao Yuan, telling him not to worry or panic, and to give him some time. He would handle everything. He wouldn't let go of the troublesome fans either; he had someone note down their names. He couldn't do anything to them openly, but he had plenty of ways to deal with them secretly. Anyone who harmed his loved ones in the name of being a fan was his enemy.
Tao Yuan was not really worried. It seemed that he was in a very bad situation now, but Cheng Yi had angered Zheng Xuanlin and was basically seeking his own death.
The door of the lounge was opened, and the person who walked in was not Liu Yong or the assistant, but Li Qiao.
"Big star, are you hiding here and afraid to come out?" Li Qiao said gloatingly, "There are a lot of people waiting for you outside. Are they all your fans?"
"What? You've hooked up with Cheng Yi, and you think there's no way I can make a comeback, so you can't wait to ridicule me?" Tao Yuan said calmly, "You're too impatient."
Li Qiao was stunned and a little surprised. She thought to herself, how did he know that I was in touch with Cheng Yi?
"Hmph!" Li Qiao snorted coldly, "I don't think it's too early at all. Since you know that Cheng Yi and I are connected, I'm not afraid to tell you that you're overestimating yourself by fighting Cheng Yi. Even if Zheng Xuanlin wants to protect you, he can't beat their company."
"Really?" Tao Yuan looked at her sympathetically. "I can't say what will happen to Cheng Yi in the end, but you, apart from a miserable end, there is no other ending."
"Do you think you're a fortune teller?" Li Qiao scoffed. "If you were truly a fortune teller, you would have known you'd be the one to suffer the most. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"
Watching Li Qiao turn around and walk out, Tao Yuan curled his lips. Ignorance is bliss, but this blessing is only temporary.

"What are you going to do?" Xiang Qing looked at Zheng Xuanlin and asked, "Whether you admit it or not, Hua Xi will be scolded by your fans. If you admit it, you will be scolded even more severely."
"I plan to quit the entertainment industry first and then make my relationship public," said Zheng Xuanlin.
"What did you say?!" Xiang Qing's eyes widened in shock. "You're quitting the entertainment industry? Are you trying to scare those fans, or do you really not want to act anymore?"
"I don't want to act anymore. I'm tired of it." Zheng Xuanlin said calmly, "After I finish filming this drama, I will stop filming and go back to the company to help out. If there is a good script in the future, I will try to be a director to satisfy my desire."
"What about Hua Xi?" Xiang Qing asked.
"As long as he still wants to act, I will of course support him." Zheng Xuanlin said, "After we finish filming this drama, we will get married. As long as he has a script he wants to act in, I will invest in him."
"You really love him that much?" Xiang Qing still found it hard to believe. "For him, you even quit acting. Aren't you afraid you'll regret it later?"
"Actually, it's not entirely because of him. I just suddenly felt that I wasn't that interested in acting anymore," Zheng Xuanlin said. "Of course, he played a part. After falling in love with him, I couldn't express my love to others, even if it was fake or acting. I didn't want to do it anymore. I absolutely won't regret it. He's someone I'd protect with my life. There's nothing I wouldn't do for him. Giving up acting is nothing."
"...I don't know whether I should say that love is truly great, or that it's truly terrifying." Xiang Qing shook her head. She couldn't understand his thoughts anyway. "Teach Cheng Yi a lesson. It's all Jinyu's people who spoiled him. He slept with an old man and got everyone at Jinyu to fawn over him. He really thinks the entire entertainment industry can let him do whatever he wants. But don't be too harsh for now. He still has some scenes to shoot. After he finishes filming, you can punish him however you want."
As the incident escalated, more netizens began boycotting "Hegemony," saying they wouldn't watch dramas featuring mistresses and unfaithful men. Xiang Qing felt that Cheng Yi's good days were over, as he'd dared to escalate the situation to this point. If the Zheng family were to intervene, even the old man surnamed Jin couldn't protect himself, so how could he protect Cheng Yi?
Zheng Xuanlin's fans were waiting for him to make a public statement, hoping to see him declare that he was not in a relationship with anyone. However, after finally waiting for the studio's statement, it only stated that he had never been in a relationship with Cheng Yi and that it was his freedom to pursue anyone.
He did not clarify his relationship with Tao Yuan, nor did he make their relationship public, but fans already had a hunch that he was really in love. This made his fans even more angry, and they were determined to scold Tao Yuan to death.
Cheng Yi looked at the news and the comments criticizing Tao Yuan, feeling quite pleased with himself. Deep down, he didn't want to get into a fight with Zheng Xuanlin, but they were forcing him to do so. If he didn't teach them a lesson, let them know how powerful he was, they would think they could bully them at will. He also wanted to use this opportunity to show Zheng Xuanlin that no matter how famous or powerful he was, there were some forces he couldn't defeat.
Cheng Yi turned off the computer, took a shower, and went to sleep. He slept very well that night. He thought that since Zheng Xuanlin would not give him a chance no matter how much he put down his dignity and begged, he would just let him feel the pain of being suppressed and the benefits of power, and he would give in obediently.
The next morning, Cheng Yi was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone. He picked up the phone unhappily and shouted after answering, "I don't have work today. Why are you calling me so early in the morning?!"
"Something happened, hurry to the news!" The person on the other end of the phone was Cheng Yi's agent, and his voice was very panicked.
"What happened?" Cheng Yi threw back the covers and got out of bed, wondering what could have happened at this moment? Could it be that Zheng Xuanlin had revealed that he was married? He had already prepared for this, so why was he so flustered?
"Ma Jiahong revealed everything about your marriage to the media, including your marriage contract, divorce contract, and a bunch of wedding photos and daily photos."
"What did you say?!" Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran to turn on the computer. His hands were shaking constantly. He didn't expect that Ma Jiahong would not abide by the contract and reveal their marriage in front of the media.
He clicked on the largest media website and saw today's entertainment headline: "Shocking revelation: Cheng Yi has been married for two years."
Cheng Yi was extremely panicked. He really didn't expect that it would be Ma Jiahong who would expose him.
After changing his clothes, Cheng Yi hurried out. He wanted to find Ma Jiahong to ask him why he did this. Their divorce agreement clearly stated that he could not mention their marriage to anyone, let alone disclose it to the media or reporters. Now he was actually violating the agreement.
Ma Jiahong was already prepared to welcome him, and was not surprised at all when he saw him rush in angrily.
"Why are you doing this?!" Cheng Yi angrily questioned him. "You violated the contract. I can sue you! And I have all the evidence that you abused me. Do you want to go to jail?!"
"Just go ahead and sue me. The worst that can happen is that you'll just go to jail for a few years." Ma Jiahong looked indifferent.
Cheng Yi was shocked and confused, and even more puzzled. Ma Jiahong was a well-known figure in the outside world, but now he didn't even care about going to jail.
"Why? Why on earth did you do this?!" Cheng Yi slammed the table in anger.
"I just can't bear to see you suffer. Are you satisfied with this answer?" Ma Jiahong said calmly, "If you dare to sue me, I will tell you everything about your infidelity. Then I will tell the judge that I abused you because you cheated on me first. The court will give you a lighter sentence at its discretion."
"What evidence do you have to prove that I cheated on you?" Cheng Yi glared at him and asked through gritted teeth.
Ma Jiahong opened the drawer, took out a stack of photos and threw them to him.
When Cheng Yi looked at the photos, his face turned pale instantly, his legs went weak, and he almost couldn't stand.
"You're enjoying being a cuckold, aren't you? These bed photos will ruin your career and make you despised by everyone. You'll never be able to survive in the entertainment industry again."
"Where did you get these photos?" These photos must have been taken recently. If he had them from the beginning, he wouldn't have agreed to the divorce so easily and would have tortured him. And how could these photos have been taken? This is Chairman Jin's private villa.
"You've offended someone you shouldn't have. Do you really think your Chairman Jin is omnipotent?" Ma Jiahong said, "I was indeed afraid of him before, so even though I knew you had a special relationship with him, I agreed to divorce you. But now I'm not afraid of him anymore. Let him deal with me and let me see what he's capable of."
"You abused me, so I went to the chairman to ask you to agree to a divorce!" Cheng Yi was angry and aggrieved. "I said I wanted to live a good life with you. I was ready to retire from the entertainment industry. If you could treat me well, would I do this?!"
"Are you planning to live a good life with me?" Ma Jiahong said as he took the photos. "You plan to live a good life with me while also serving that old man? If I had known you were so disgusting and so filthy, I would never have married you!"
Cheng Yi closed his eyes, his body trembling non-stop. "Who is it? Who on earth told you to do this?!"
"It's no use knowing that," Ma Jiahong said sarcastically. "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too arrogant. You think your chairman can do whatever he wants. Little do you know, there are always people who are better than you. He'll be in trouble soon. Do you think he can protect you?"
Cheng Yi suddenly opened his eyes, glared at him fiercely and asked, "Is it Zheng Xuanlin? Is it him?!"
Ma Jiahong smiled and said, "Think about who you've offended recently, it shouldn't be hard to guess who it is. Considering we're married, I'm kindly reminding you that this is just the beginning. Be prepared for a bigger blow."
