Chapter 180: All the same
"It's really my fault for not telling you about what happened last night. I'm sorry."
Huo Yunting looked at her silently, his eyes dark and gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After waiting for a while without receiving his answer, Chi Muzhen continued, "How do you want to calm down?"
Seeing that he still didn't speak, Chi Muzhen stood up and walked to sit next to him, holding his hand and said, "Don't be angry, okay?"
Huo Yunting didn't have much anger in his heart to begin with, but when he saw Chi Muzhen slightly raising her head and looking at him expectantly, the last bit of anger disappeared.
He held her chin and kissed her until Chi Muzhen's body went limp in his arms. He then let her go and leaned against her forehead, saying, "Only this time!"
Chi Muzhen nodded, "Well, I promise there won't be a next time!"
"I have a meeting later, let the driver take you back first."
Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with disappointment, "Okay."
As soon as Chi Muzhen left, Huo Yunting called Ke Ning into his office and said coldly, "Ban Shi Yiheng completely."
Ke Ning frowned, "Mr. Huo, Shi Yiheng seems to have a connection with the Shi family in Beijing. I guess there's no way to ban him."
"Then withdraw all his upcoming films!"
"Okay, I understand."
In the next few days, because Shi Yiheng's team's public relations were very efficient, basically no one mentioned Shi Yiheng's love life anymore.
However, Shi Yiheng's agent was in a bad mood because several of his endorsements were withdrawn and the new drama he had just negotiated was replaced by another actor.
She had to use several connections to get a word from the other party, which made Shi Yiheng think about whether he had offended the Huo family recently.
The agent understood everything. It was obvious that Huo Yunting was worried because of the previous incident that had been photographed.
"Yiheng, why don't you just give up? Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting like each other. It's useless for you to continue insisting."
Shi Yiheng smiled bitterly, as if talking to himself, "I gave up a long time ago."
The moment he saw Huo Yunting cut the life rope without hesitation for Chi Muzhen and was swept away by the flood together with Chi Muzhen, he knew that there was no possibility for him and Chi Muzhen to be together in this life.
The agent looked at him, but in the end said nothing and patted his shoulder lightly.
"Although my last few roles have been snatched up, Director Li just contacted me and said he has a drama about athletes. And didn't you take swimming lessons recently? I think it's a good fit for you. Why don't you take it?"
After a moment of silence, Shi Yiheng nodded, "Okay."
Everyone thought that he was trying so hard to learn how to swim because he almost drowned in the flood last time. In fact, only he knew that he didn't want to experience the feeling of seeing his loved one being swept away by the flood while he was powerless to do anything.
Just when the heat of Shi Yiheng's love affair was gradually cooling down, another whistleblower suddenly came out to reveal that the woman who had dinner with Shi Yiheng was Chi Muzhen, and also released a secretly taken photo of Chi Muzhen.
In the photo, Chi Muzhen's clothes are exactly the same as the clothes of the woman who was having dinner with Shi Yiheng in the video, even the bags she was carrying were the same.
As soon as this photo was released, it immediately became the number one trending search.
Soon, Chi Muzhen's information was dug out by people on the Internet.
"She was lost when she was little and wasn't picked up until she was sixteen. Ever since then, she's been obsessed with stealing her sister's things. I heard she even stole her sister's boyfriend before. A woman like her isn't even fit to carry her brother's shoes!"
"Is Shi Yiheng blind? How could he fall for such a woman?!"
"It must be that bitch Chi Muzhen who seduced Shi Yiheng. This bitch really has no bottom line. The boyfriend she stole from her sister before couldn't satisfy her?!"
…
There was a lot of curses on the Internet. Someone found Chi Muzhen's phone number and kept sending her text messages cursing her.
Chi Muzhen simply cancelled the card and applied for a new one.
The person who broke the news was soon found to be a designer of MY, and Chen Tian fired him directly.
Ever since Chi Muzhen's information was exposed, no one believed Shi Yiheng no matter how he explained. Some fans even turned against him and started scolding Shi Yiheng.
For Shi Yiheng, he didn't care about the online criticism at all, but he didn't want to affect Chi Muzhen.
He found his agent and said coldly, "Send a lawyer's letter to everyone who spread rumors online! Contact Weibo to have the article deleted!"
The agent was already swamped with worry over this matter. Upon hearing this, he said helplessly, "Your fan base is huge. Even if the staff worked overtime to delete entries, it would be useless. This situation is out of control."
"So I can only watch her being cyberbullied?!"
The agent sighed, "It seems so at the moment. You must not come forward to explain now, otherwise it will only have a counterproductive effect. The best thing to do now is not to respond."
Shi Yiheng kicked the chair next to him in anger, but the anger and powerlessness in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.
He picked up his phone and opened Chi Muzhen's chat box. He had a lot to say, but he spent a long time typing and deleted them one by one. In the end, he just sent an "I'm sorry."
Chi Muzhen replied quickly.
[This isn't your fault. Take a good rest and don't look at your phone during this time. I'll take care of it.]
Shi Yiheng wanted to ask her how she planned to solve the problem, but after hesitating for a while, he didn't ask.
For Chi Muzhen, this incident had no effect on her at all. She still went to work when she was supposed to and went out to eat when she was supposed to. Shen Tian, who had a good attitude, couldn't believe it.
"Zhenzhen, are you really okay?"
Chi Muzhen felt helpless. This was the nth time that Chen Tian had asked her this question since her photo was posted online.
"I really don't care about the things online, and it doesn't affect my mood. I'm just too busy lately to deal with them."
Chen Tian frowned, "But it's not right for this matter to continue to ferment like this. It all started because of Shi Yiheng, and now he and his company are shrinking like quails, leaving you to bear the consequences alone."
"If he and his company come out to explain now, it will only make things worse, and someone will take action soon. Don't worry."
"Huo Yunting?"
"Um."
Because of this incident, Huo Yunting had a cold face every time he returned home these days and ordered her to have less contact with Shi Yiheng in the future. Chi Muzhen had no choice but to agree.
Soon, the trending searches began to be removed.
At first, it was just that the hot searches were not found. Not long after, Weibo crashed and it took three hours to recover.
Weibo officially announced that it was system maintenance, but those who followed Shi Yiheng and Chi Muzhen discovered that any Weibo posts or words related to Chi Muzhen and Shi Yiheng could not be posted, even if spaces were inserted or homophones were used.
Immediately, people started mocking the official Weibo account, saying that this was what they were trying to protect.
Without the entry and hot searches, the popularity of this matter has completely died down.
Originally, Chi Xuan was still hanging around and mocking Chi Muzhen, but now she was furious after seeing all the entries and was so angry that she didn't even have lunch.
I was sitting alone in my room feeling angry when my cell phone suddenly rang.
When Chi Xuan saw that the caller was Huo Yunting, her eyelids suddenly jumped.
