Chapter 51 Why, do you feel sorry for me?
Maybe because he had been waking up like this for the past few days, Shen Lai even felt that it was no longer strange.
Habit is indeed a terrible thing.
Pei Jingyan was still asleep. Shen Lai tried to break free from him, but his hands clamped him tightly like a pair of pliers, and there was no way to escape.
Shen Lai had no choice but to continue maintaining this posture.
The breeze in the yard made the sky ripple, the sunlight shone into the room through the curtains, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. At this moment, the world seemed extremely peaceful.
Chen Lai looked at Pei Jingyan's face boredly. His fine hair hung on his deep brow bones, the corners of his eyes were upturned, his skin was very white, and his tall nose cast a shadow in the light. Even when he was sleeping, he looked unrestrained and indulged.
Chen Lai had to admit that Pei Jingyan was actually quite handsome.
It’s just that she used to have a filter of him as a mortal enemy, so no matter how good-looking he was, she only had the impression that he was “unpleasant to the eye”.
Suddenly, Pei Jingyan in front of him moved his eyelashes and slowly opened his deep eyes.
Chen Lai quickly turned his eyes away as if he had been electrocuted, pretending to have just woken up.
Pei Jingyan saw Shen Lai's strange expression when he opened his eyes. He didn't think too much about it and frowned slightly, "Awake?"
Shen Lai pretended to have just realized that he had woken up and hummed softly, "Just woke up."
Seeing Shen Lai looking at his arm somewhat unnaturally, Pei Jingyan followed her gaze, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then withdrew his hand.
Seeing this, Shen Lai immediately withdrew from Pei Jingyan's arms and pretended nothing happened, "Why am I here with you again?"
Pei Jingyan stood up and leaned against the headboard, his voice lazily filled with sleepiness, "You don't know what's going on?"
Shen Lai frowned and was about to retort when he heard Pei Jingyan say, "Didn't your camera capture everything that night?"
Shen Lai's body stiffened, and he looked up at Pei Jingyan, "You know everything?"
Pei Jingyan's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, "The camera is so obvious, I can't pretend not to see it."
Shen Lai swallowed.
Since Pei Jingyan knew everything, why didn't he expose himself and cooperate with her performance?
As if seeing through her thoughts, Pei Jingyan said calmly: "I won't expose you so that you won't falsely accuse me later."
Shen Lai inexplicably had the illusion that she was caught red-handed. She looked embarrassed and had to change the subject, saying, "I'm going to brush my teeth and wash my face first."
After saying that, she took her cell phone, quickly got out of bed, and ran to the bathroom.
Looking at Shen Lai's back as he trotted into the bathroom, Pei Jingyan raised a faint smile at the corner of his lips.
At this moment, the sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the silence. Pei Jingyan glanced at the caller ID and pressed the answer button.
Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, he remained calm and said, "I understand."
In the bathroom, Shen Lai didn't rush out after washing up. He always felt a little awkward to stay with Pei Jingyan at this time, so he simply sat by the bathtub and browsed his phone.
However, with this one stroke, she was stunned.
I saw that the hot search term last night changed from #沈莱bullying# to #沈莱逆#.
When I clicked on it, I saw that a user named [Tonsils Never Speak] posted a Weibo this morning: Everything Bai Hansui said on the show yesterday was false. In fact, not only did Chen Lai not bully Bai Hansui, but he also bought her a lot of branded clothes and bags.
To increase credibility, the man also posted a video.
In the video, Shen Lai was celebrating Bai Hansui's birthday. However, not only did she not look bossy as she did in Bai Hansui's photos, she also gave her a brand-name bag worth 500,000 yuan.
[If this is bullying, please bully me, sister! ]
Bai Hansui's expression doesn't look like she's being bullied at all. Didn't she look quite happy when she received the bag?
[Shen Lai is the one who suffers, right? She was so nice to Bai Hansui, but she was accuse of bullying and her boyfriend was taken away.]
[Ah ...
[This is too tragic. If no one comes out to clarify, Shen Lai will have to suffer this loss in silence.]
Not only this Weibo post, but many people in the upper class circle also came out to speak for Chen Lai. The public opinion immediately changed. Bai Hansui's Weibo was quickly attacked by netizens, and the comment section was full of voices cursing him.
Shen Lai opened his mouth in surprise.
Pei Jingyan acted so quickly that he found someone to help solve the problem so quickly.
She thought it would take at least two or three days to be over.
At the same time, Perle Entertainment, the entertainment company to which Chen Lai belongs, also spoke out, holding the rumormongers accountable and using legal weapons to protect the reputation rights of its artists.
When Shen Lai came out of the bathroom, she saw Pei Jingyan answering the phone. She held the phone tightly and walked over hesitantly, "Why are you so fast?"
Pei Jingyan heard the footsteps when Shen Lai came out. He turned to look at her and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Aren't you worried that it can't be solved?"
Shen Lai was indeed worried, but she didn't expect Pei Jingyan to solve the problem for her so quickly.
She didn't know what method Pei Jingyan used to get those people to come forward, so she asked cautiously, "Did you spend a lot of money to bribe them?"
Pei Jingyan slowly put his phone back into his pocket, "Why, are you feeling sorry for me?"
Chen Lai's face flushed, "Who feels sorry for you? I'm just worried that you'll spend too much money and come back to ask me for money!"
As she spoke, she muttered, "I don't have any money to compensate you."
Pei Jingyan silently curled his lips, "With your little wealth, I don't expect you to pay me back. I might as well deduct it from your salary."
Shen Lai choked.
Seeing her expression, Pei Jingyan said lightly, "I just asked them to do me a favor. It didn't take much effort."
Although he said this, Shen Lai knew that Pei Jingyan would definitely owe him a favor by doing this.
Originally, Pei Jingyan didn't have to agree to her request.
An indescribable feeling surged through Shen Lai's heart, as if something had drilled out of the ground and popped out.
She thought to herself, let alone helping Pei Jingyan wash clothes for a month, even helping him wash clothes for a year would be no problem.
Chen Lai solved a big problem, but Bai Hansui was furious.
The company just helped Bai Hansui clarify the matter a few days ago, and less than two days later, she got into such a big trouble again.
And this time even the Pei Group got involved.
The agent on the other end of the phone spoke in a serious tone, "The production team just contacted me and said that 'Rumors Stop on the Road' has been forced to stop broadcasting due to you. The company is not only going to help you clean up the mess, but also pay a huge amount of compensation!"
Artists must sign a contract before participating in variety shows. If the program is affected or suspended due to their own reasons, they will need to pay ten times the penalty for breach of contract.
When Bai Hansui first took on this drama, her salary was three million per episode, and ten times the penalty for breach of contract is equal to thirty million.
Bai Hansui's face suddenly changed. She never thought that things would develop to such a serious level that even the variety show was suspended.
"The company can't help you now, so you can handle the 30 million on your own."
After saying that, the agent hung up the phone. When Bai Hansui called back, the call was no longer connected.
Bai Hansui was extremely panicked. In desperation, she called Huo Chilin, but no one answered.
She was so anxious that she could only continue to dial.
I don’t know how many times I made calls, but the call was finally connected.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Bai Hansui said in a panic: "Chi Lin, the production team wants me to pay 30 million yuan in liquidated damages. What should I do now?"
Huo Chilin's tone on the other end of the phone was somewhat indifferent. "You asked for this, didn't you? Since the production team asked you to pay 30 million, then you should pay it accordingly."
