Chapter 089
After chatting with Ye Luoyi, Yan Xi returned to the RV.
At 10pm, the live broadcast ended and the live cameras in the RV were turned off. The curtains were drawn, and Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu lay on the bed, waiting for the aurora outside.
Zhou Qingyu got bored of waiting and took out her cell phone to surf the Internet.
Now when you open the social app, the hot searches are all about Pei Yubai and Ye Luoyi. Zhou Qingyu is happy to watch the fun since she is not the one being criticized.
Pei Yubai's revelations consisted of only a few sentences, with no evidence at all, but netizens were the best at digging out clues one after another -
[Ye Luoyi's first TV series was "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves". The director's Weibo had nothing but the official announcement, but! He comments and wishes Ye Luoyi a happy birthday every year! He always posts on time! ]
[Go check out the clips on Bilibili. Someone has dug up all the footage of Qin Li and Ye Luoyi being in the same frame during the live broadcast. The look in their eyes is so real that no one would believe it! ]
【Didn’t it leak last year that Ye Luoyi and producer Chen had dinner together? At the time, the PR said it was a gathering of friends. A man and a woman ate together in a high-end restaurant late at night. You said this was a gathering of friends?】
Once they have a direction, netizens will use magnifying glasses to look for clues frame by frame and sentence by sentence. Marketing accounts love to follow the trend, and the Internet is full of Ye Luoyi's sea cucumbers.
Zhou Qingyu ate the melon with gusto and shared it with Yan Xi from time to time.
Yan Xi reminded her, "Remember to use your secondary account, so as not to accidentally click on the like button and get discovered by your fans..."
Zhou Qingyu paused, but her hands were faster than her brain and she clicked send.
She switched back and saw that netizens were just watching the show and there were too many comments, so her reply fell on deaf ears.
Yan Xi was worried: "What did you comment on?"
Zhou Qingyu said awkwardly, "It's nothing, it's all sunk anyway..."
That’s what they said, but within a few minutes, Zhou Qingyu’s entry also became a hot search.
#Zhou Qingyu's comments on Ye Luoyi's Aquaman Path——Awesome! #
The marketing account released a screenshot of Zhou Qingyu’s reply, which contained the word “awesome”.
[This is so funny, the young lady doesn’t use a secondary account? Have you forgotten how you liked Ye Luoyi’s negative news and got scolded? ]
[Facts have proven that the young lady was right to give a thumbs up at first]
[People in the industry certainly know what’s going on in the industry~]
[Miss, don’t just eat melons, you should also reveal some information! ]
[Things change, I can feel how happy the young lady was when she wrote the word "awesome"]
[How can I not be happy when my sworn enemy's reputation is ruined! I would have to set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate! ]
[One string is not enough, two strings! ]
[Shouldn't the young lady, who is so wealthy, set off fireworks? 】
Zhou Qingyu was a little surprised. In the past, if a star accidentally liked another star's scandal, they would inevitably be mocked by netizens. But under her trending search, netizens were actually playing with memes? They even asked her to expose the scandal?
Zhou Qingyu was thoughtful, "My popularity has indeed improved a lot."
Yan Xi pinched her face and said, "The eyes of the public are sharp!"
Her eldest daughter is beautiful and cute, how could anyone not like the eldest daughter?
Zhou Qingyu's reputation improved, and no one scolded her for liking Ye Luoyi's negative news, but Ye Luoyi's situation was obviously not good.
The S-level big IP "Xun Xian" announced the main cast earlier, with Ye Luoyi as the female lead. Now fans of the book and the actors have rushed to the official Weibo of "Xun Xian" to ask the director to change the actress. The crew of "Xun Xian" must of course comply with public opinion. Fortunately, the crew has not started filming yet, so it is not too late to change the actress.
"Xun Xian" issued a statement, saying that it would re-select the leading actress. Afterwards, the brands endorsed by Ye Luoyi announced that they would terminate their cooperation with her. Although the video website did not remove Ye Luoyi's film and television works, it still deleted her name from the cast list.
It can be said that Ye Luoyi is already standing on the edge of collapse.
She did not completely collapse because her behavior was not conclusive, and the moral red line is a very ambiguous indicator and is not as strict as the legal red line.
"Ye Luoyi is in real trouble this time!" Zhou Qingyu lay on the bed. The heater in the RV was on high. She was wearing a thin autumn shirt and shaking her white feet, but she didn't feel cold. "If Tianhui handles it well, Ye Luoyi can still turn around. If not, she will never be able to return to the entertainment industry in her life."
Pei Hanli said calmly, "If Ye Luoyi was still in Tianhui, this matter would not be handled well."
Zhou Qingyu thought about it and agreed. Ye Luoyi was still in Tianhui and her relationship with Pei Yubai was ambiguous, so it would be difficult to clarify the negative information. Besides, the reason why she was in such a miserable state today was not all because of Pei Yubai.
Will Ye Luoyi leave Pei Yubai?
Zhou Qingyu felt excited just thinking about it.
"If Ye Luoyi leaves Tianhui, Tianhui's stock price will probably fall!" Zhou Qingyu said, "But after what happened today, Tianhui's stock price will also fall!"
Now that the reputation of Tianhui’s top shareholder has collapsed, it would be strange if Tianhui’s stock price didn’t fall.
Pei Hanli sneered, "That's what Pei Yubai deserves."
Yan Xi had been listening to the two people's discussion until they mentioned Pei Yubai. Yan Xi suddenly asked, "Boss Pei, aren't you and Second Master Pei brothers? Why is your relationship so bad?"
"Fighting for the family property!" Zhou Qingyu glanced at Zhou Yanci, "Isn't it the same in my family?"
Pei Hanli was cooking mulled wine and poured a glass for Zhou Qingyu.
"It's still different. Pei Yubai and I have a bad relationship mainly because he is my father's illegitimate son. We are not brothers, so how can we have a good relationship?"
Zhou Qingyu and Zhou Yanci both looked at Pei Hanli in surprise.
Pei Yubai didn't dare to tell Zhou Qingyu about this, so Zhou Qingyu certainly wouldn't know about it. It was also the first time that Zhou Yanci heard Pei Hanli mention his family background.
Zhou Qingyu sneered. She couldn't understand it before. Pei Yubai was the second young master of the Pei family, so why did he bother with her? Now she understood. He really would do anything for money.
What a pity, the stock price of Tianhui just dropped? Forget bankruptcy!
Yan Xi hadn't said anything since she asked that question. The system said she couldn't reveal the plot to anyone else, but how could it be considered a leak if it came out through Pei Hanli's mouth? Zhou Qingyu should have known the truth long ago.
In the gap between the conversations, a brilliant light appeared outside the window.
The Aurora has appeared!
On such a cold night, the aurora over Gibbston Valley is like a dreamy ribbon, green or purple, interweaving and changing, illuminating the entire night sky.
The four of them put on down jackets and walked out of the RV one by one.
The program staff outside excitedly set up the camera. This was excellent material and would definitely be a gimmick when edited into the main film.
Director Yu was even more excited, holding the camera and crying, "Is it easy for me? I'm recording a variety show with 7 groups of guests, and now two groups have failed!"
Director Yu was already having a headache staying up late to edit Qin Li's shots, and now he had to edit Ye Luoyi's shots too! The key point was that Qin Li only recorded one stop, but Ye Luoyi was there for the whole thing!
The program team doesn’t have enough material for the main film.
Director Yu feels that having an aurora ending is the greatest consolation for his hard work!
Yan Xi was filming the Aurora. When she heard Director Yu's complaints, she smiled and comforted him, "We don't have to delete Ye Luoyi's scenes, right?"
Director Yu was startled and looked at Yan Xi in disbelief, "Ye Luoyi, is that a fake melon?"
"That depends on what you mean. If it means that Ye Luoyi sold her body to get promoted, then it's definitely fake news. But if it means that those people pursued Ye Luoyi and gave her resources and she didn't refuse, then it's probably true news."
"True or false, it all depends on which one you mean."
——
the other side.
Ye Luoyi and Su Lingling have arrived at the airport.
She was in contact with her lawyer, Shang Lin, all the way. Ye Luoyi decided to leave Tianhui, so she could no longer use Tianhui's public relations team, and had to do many things herself.
"First, I will sue Pei Yubai for spreading rumors and infringing my reputation, and then I will ask him to publicly apologize to me. At the same time, I will terminate the contract with Tianhui. Tianhui's CEO spread rumors about me first, so I think the penalty can be negotiated down. It shouldn't be as high as in the contract."
Shang Lin is in the country, and her team has already begun dealing with public opinion on the Internet.
"Okay, Miss Ye, we'll discuss the details after you return home."
"I have booked the nearest flight and will go to your law firm early tomorrow morning."
After hanging up the phone, Su Lingling excitedly held Ye Luoyi's hand, "Yiyi, you finally decided to leave Pei Yubai!"
Ye Luoyi nodded.
Although she refuted Yan Xi on the SUV, she knew that 90% of the reason why she ended up like this was because of Pei Yubai.
Ye Luoyi never thought of herself as an innocent little white rabbit. She was single, and the men she dated were also single. It was a mutual agreement, so was it necessary for people on the Internet to scold her like this?
It was Pei Yubai who made her a mistress, so everyone's impression of her became even worse!
If you want to turn things around, leaving Tianhui is the first step.
Su Lingling saw that Ye Luoyi had come to her senses, so she took out her bank card and put it in Ye Luoyi's hand, "Yiyi, don't you have no money to cancel the contract? Here are 30 million, use it first!"
The Su family is not a top-tier wealthy family like Zhou Qingyu, and Su Lingling does not have a proper job, so the 30 million is all her savings.
Ye Luoyi's eyes were moist, but she was trying hard to hold them back. Even though there was a lot of abuse online and even though Director Yu asked her to quit the program, she still tried hard not to cry.
But at this moment, her tears flowed like a flood.
Ye Luoyi hugged Su Lingling tightly, "Lingling, thank you."
Su Lingling patted her shoulder and said, "What are you talking about? When I had something to do before, weren't you always by my side?"
Ye Luoyi shook her head and hugged Su Lingling tighter.
We were just friends before, friends we could have fun with.
But only in times of adversity can we know who is sincere.
…
“Yiyi…”
Pei Yubai's voice came from behind.
Ye Luoyi let go of her hand, and Su Lingling saw that the person coming was Pei Yubai, and immediately protected Ye Luoyi behind her.
Ye Luoyi patted Su Lingling's shoulder gently, "It's okay."
She walked forward and looked at Pei Yubai. "The termination letter has been sent to Tianhui. What else do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Pei?"
Pei Yubai felt sad. He saw the termination letter, but he was unwilling to accept it.
"Yiyi, there's no need to sue. I've asked Sun Qi to draft a statement to clarify that those words were all nonsense I said... Yiyi, please don't leave me, okay? Please, don't leave me..."
Ye Luoyi sneered, "Of course you have to make a statement, and you have to apologize to me!"
"I will apologize! I will immediately start a live broadcast or post on Weibo to apologize! I was wrong, it's all my fault!"
Pei Yubai held Ye Luoyi's hand tightly and looked at her eagerly.
Ye Luoyi struggled to break away from him, "Don't tease me, Pei Yubai. Now that things have come to this, do you think I can still stay in Tianhui? Impossible. I will sell the villa in Haishi. The money from the sale should be enough to pay the penalty for breach of contract."
Pei Yubai opened his eyes wide, "I don't want money, I just want you! Didn't you let me choose? I choose you, you are the only one in my heart! You will be the only one in the future!"
Ye Luoyi sneered and slapped Pei Yubai on the face!
"Pei Yubai, did you choose me? Didn't Zhou Qingyu see through your little thoughts and you had no chance with her, so you chose me? I don't need this kind of second best choice!"
She didn't want to bother with Pei Yubai anymore. If she continued to get entangled with him, he would be photographed and posted on the Internet, which would inevitably lead to another wave of negative comments. It was just time to board the plane, so Ye Luoyi and Su Lingling got on the plane.
Pei Yubai followed them onto the plane. Fortunately, the two groups were not seated next to each other, so Pei Yubai could not disturb Ye Luoyi anymore.
The plane took off and all communication equipment was turned off. Only after the plane was stable did Ye Luoyi connect to the plane's wifi.
Lu Beiyu sent a WeChat message to Ye Luoyi, asking her if she had boarded the plane safely.
——The Lu family’s private plane will fly to Country M to pick up Wan Ning tomorrow, so Lu Beiyu did not withdraw from the variety show.
Still in the Queen's City.
[Already boarded the plane] Ye Luoyi returned.
Lu Beiyu: [That’s good! ]
[I heard from Director Yu that your segment on the variety show will not be deleted and the variety show will be broadcast as normal.]
Ye Luoyi was surprised: [Director Yu is so kind? ]
Lu Beiyu: [Because Sister Yan Xi told Director Yu that the rumor that you slept with someone to get the position was fake, and Tianhui issued an apology statement, so Director Yu decided to take a gamble.]
Ye Luoyi was stunned, holding the phone in silence for a long time.
Lu Beiyu may not understand, but Ye Luoyi knows very well that if there are shots of her in the feature film of "Travel", it means that she is fine. In this way, other platforms will be willing to broadcast her works, and those producers will dare to use her again.
Maybe Yan Xi just said these two sentences casually, but these two sentences had a great impact on Ye Luoyi.
Ye Luoyi found Yan Xi's WeChat and sent her a message: [Thank you]
Soon, Yan Xi replied to her: [No, I only want back the part you owe Qingqing, I don’t want the rest.]
Ye Luoyi didn't understand this sentence.
At that time, in Gibbston Valley, the aurora was brilliant and beautiful. Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu took various photos under the aurora from different angles. Suddenly, the system reminded: [Ding! Ye Luoyi's popularity plummeted, Zhou Qingyu gained 5 points of luck, and the current luck value is 85 points. ]
Yan Xi looked towards the brilliant aurora.
The reason why Ye Luoyi became so popular so quickly within two years was because of Zhou's resources. In short, she sucked away Zhou Qingyu's luck, so Yan Xi wanted to get this part of luck back.
As for the grudge between Ye Luoyi and Zhou Qingyu, it all came down to Pei Yubai. Pei Yubai was the most hateful person, and Yan Xi had to look for Pei Yubai if she wanted to collect the debt.
…
"Xixi! What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Come over and take a picture!" Zhou Qingyu called Yan Xi.
Yan Xi came back to her senses, "Here I come~"
She moved closer to Zhou Qingyu and posed in front of the camera with her.
Lu Beiyu took on the responsibility of being a photographer. The young master of the Lu family had many skills and was good at taking photos. Zhou Qingyu compared Pei Hanli, Zhou Yanci, and Lu Beiyu, and finally found that the photos taken by Lu Beiyu were the best.
Pei Hanli also came forward and wanted to take a photo with Zhou Qingyu.
Zhou Yanci was quick to act and grabbed him by the collar.
Pei Hanli: "...Brother, let me go!"
Zhou Yanci threw him aside and said, "You are not suitable for Whispering. You are too scheming."
"I don't have any ulterior motives towards the young lady!" Pei Hanli quickly tried to please her.
Zhou Yanci glanced at Pei Hanli and asked, "What do you like about Whispering?"
Zhou Yanci didn't even remember any connection between Pei Hanli and Zhou Qingyu. At most, they had met each other a few times at wealthy dinners. How could they fall in love with each other?
Pei Hanli grinned, "The eldest lady is likable in every way! She is pretty, has a good temper, a good personality, and a kind heart..."
Zhou Yanci:?
He stretched out his hand and touched Pei Hanli's forehead.
"Are you stupid? Are you talking nonsense?"
Pei Hanli shook off Zhou Yanci's hand, and his smiling eyes turned serious, "Zhou Yanci, what I said is true. In my heart, the eldest lady is just so good."
——
The trip to Country X ended perfectly with the capture of the aurora.
Originally, the production team wanted to stay in Queen City for one more day to give the guests a day of free time, but Queen City was too cold and Zhou Qingyu didn't like this kind of weather. It would take 12 hours to fly back to Haicheng, so they would leave in the middle of the night and sleep on the plane, just in time to wake up.
So Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi packed their luggage and returned home overnight.
Zhou Yanci couldn't leave because he had to inspect the operations of royal hotels in other parts of Country X, so he had to postpone his visit for one day.
Zhou Qingyu was even happier, Zhou Yanci was the best.
When they arrived at the airport, they only saw the Zhou family's private plane, but not the Pei family's private plane. Pei Han came up to them politely and said, "Miss, I thought we were leaving tomorrow, but I didn't even ask anyone to apply for a flight. Can you give me a ride?"
Yan Xi: “…”
Damn it, I forgot to apply for the route. The villain obviously did it on purpose!
But Zhou Qingyu didn't care about it.
Besides, it was already two o'clock in the morning and it was time to sleep on the plane, so Yan Xi didn't say anything.
Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu were in the same room. After washing up, they both got into bed.
Yan Xi was exhausted. She had been hiking in the primeval forest all day with a gun on her back, and had stayed up late to watch the aurora. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep.
But Zhou Qingyu was not sleepy.
She never liked staying up late, fearing that it would give her dark circles under her eyes, but on such a cold and quiet night, she was too awake.
She wrapped herself in a cashmere cloak and quietly left the room.
Sitting in front of the window in the living room, Zhou Qingyu watched the private plane flying through the clouds. The clouds rolled and unrolled. As the night deepened, the clouds turned dark. The plane seemed to be flying towards an unknown distance.
Zhou Qingyu found that she could no longer remember why she fell in love with Pei Yubai.
The past two years have been like a hazy dream.
However, the memory from two years ago gradually became clearer, as if someone had used an eraser to erase her memory from two years ago. Only after she left Country H did the memory gradually reveal its original appearance.
Two years is a watershed.
Two years ago, she followed Zhou's father to attend Mr. Pei's son's birthday banquet, and fell in love with Pei Yubai at first sight at the banquet.
What about two years ago?
When she returned to China after graduating from college...
"Young lady can't sleep?"
Pei Hanli came out of the room wearing black cotton pajamas.
His collar was loose, probably wrinkled from sleeping, and the buttons on his collar were not buttoned properly, revealing his sexy collarbone.
He sat on the sofa next to Zhou Qingyu, "Do you need me to give you some hot milk?"
Zhou Qingyu didn't respond. She looked at Pei Hanli. Pei Hanli became clear in front of her eyes, overlapping with her memory from two years ago. He had handsome features, a very gentle and handsome appearance. His fringe covered his eyebrows, and the left eyebrow seemed to be fractured, with an inconspicuous scar.
Zhou Qingyu reached out and touched the scar.
"Didn't I tell you to get lost? Why did you come to me again?"
Pei Hanli's breathing stagnated, and Zhou Qingyu's hands burned him so much that his body trembled.
Zhou Qingyu never talked about this matter, and Pei Hanli thought she didn't want to mention it.
"Because I can't bear to let go." Pei Hanli's voice was hoarse.
He grabbed Zhou Qingyu's hand and kissed her fingertips.
He was afraid. He was so afraid that the eldest lady would hit him with an ashtray like she did two years ago, curse him hysterically, and tell him to get out of her world.
He was so scared that he was very careful this time he approached.
The eldest lady will never know that his dark thoughts towards her lasted not two years, but twenty years.
Pei Hanli will always remember that twenty years ago, his mother and father had a big fight and left, leaving him alone in the Pei family.
Feng Meiyu sneaked into Pei's house and secretly abandoned him.
Pei Hanli was only 7 years old at that time and was sold to the countryside by a trafficker. In such a mountainous place, boys are very valuable, but they are a little old.
Pei Hanli wanted to escape every day, but was scolded mercilessly by his "parents". They threw Pei Hanli into a pigsty, saying that after being tamed, the bought child would become a good boy.
Pei Hanli lived in the pigsty for a month.
The edges of the rich young master were smoothed out. He competed with pigs for food in the trough, slept on the ground at night, suffered from hunger and cold, and lived a life worse than death.
Later, Zhou's father came to this mountain village to do charity.
Zhou's father set up a foundation for Zhou Qingyu, which is about children's education, so he also brought Zhou Qingyu here.
Zhou Qingyu hated the dirty countryside and only saw it as a curiosity, something to do for fun.
She saw Pei Hanli in the pigpen.
The boy was dying, curled up behind the fence, looking at the clean and beautiful young lady with longing.
"Water, please, give me water."
Zhou Qingyu took the mineral water from the car and handed it to Pei Hanli. Pei Hanli did not take the water. Instead, he grabbed Zhou Qingyu with his dirty hands!
Zhou Qingyu was shocked. The person in front of her was so dirty, and he even dirty her hands!
She ran to Zhou's father crying and insisted on teaching the boy in the pigpen a lesson!
Pei Hanli was rescued instead.
Many years have passed. When Zhou's father called the police after saving the man, he had no idea that this was Pei's child. Pei's father knew he was guilty, so he never told Grandpa Pei, let alone publicized it.
Few people know about this.
But Pei Hanli will always remember that he deliberately dirtied Zhou Qingyu and grabbed her wrist because she was the only light that could save him.
From then on, Pei Hanli had different feelings towards Zhou Qingyu. As he grew older, his feelings began to change and grow wildly.
These thoughts remained hidden in his heart until Zhou Qingyu graduated from university and returned home, and Pei Hanli approached her and pursued her.
Everything went smoothly at first. For twenty years, no one knew the eldest lady better than him.
The eldest daughter also became interested in him and felt that he made her feel more comfortable than her previous boyfriends. The two of them traveled together, attended concerts together, and danced together by the lake in their villa mid-levels.
Pei Hanli thought that he would finally get the eldest daughter. But Zhou Qingyu suddenly fell in love with Pei Yubai.
, without any warning, as if she had become a different person, loving him to the point of madness.
She hit him with an ashtray, leaving a clear mark on Pei Hanli's eyebrow.
She cursed, "Pei Hanli, get out of here. I don't like you anymore."
Pei Hanli didn't believe it, so he spent a year trying to figure it out.
He never told anyone about his pursuit of Zhou Qingyu. He was afraid that if people knew his weakness, someone would hurt Zhou Qingyu, so few people knew about the year he spent trying to win her back.
Finally, he painfully discovered that his eldest daughter was indeed in love with his younger brother. He had wanted to destroy that waste, a despicable illegitimate child. He had been lurking for twenty years and had already thought about how to destroy the mother and son.
But the young lady likes it. She likes Pei Yubai so much, and Pei Hanli doesn't want to make her sad. Not to mention giving up on Pei Yubai, even if the young lady wants to get Pei's for Pei Yubai, he will give it to her.
It was not until Zhou Qingyu did not go to Master Pei’s birthday banquet, and until Pei Hanli knew that the eldest lady asked Yao Chilai to cancel the engagement.
The dim flame in my heart began to stir again.
…
In the airplane living room, Pei Hanli kissed Zhou Qingyu's fingertips. Zhou Qingyu felt a tingling sensation on her skin, like a tiny electric current.
"Miss, are you too tired during the day? Can I massage your legs for you?"
Zhou Qingyu looked at Pei Hanli steadily, and the vague memories in her mind became clearer and clearer. She remembered the past when the two of them were together, and also remembered her decision when she drove him away.
It seemed as if this person had been deleted from her world, but after she completely rejected Pei Yubai, all her memories of Pei Hanli came back.
Zhou Qingyu nodded.
Pei Hanli's fingers caressed Zhou Qingyu's white jade-like calves with just the right amount of force. It was a cold night, and the air-conditioning temperature was just right, but Zhou Qingyu felt hot.
She didn't know how it came to this.
Her breathing became heavier and she grabbed Pei Hanli's hair.
"Pei Hanli..." Zhou Qingyu tried hard not to let those shameful sounds come out from between her lips and teeth, "Slow down..."
There was a faint sound of water in her ears. The hem of her lace nightgown was pushed up to her waist, and Zhou Qingyu's lower body was covered only by the cashmere shawl.
Pei Hanli raised his head, and there was a crystal clear glow on his high nose bridge.
"Miss, are you comfortable?"
Zhou Qingyu bit her lip, "You are so annoying."
Pei Hanli smiled and said, "It's because I don't have enough experience, Miss. I will try harder."
Zhou Qingyu grabbed his hair again.
Her breathing became heavier, and the sucking feeling made her mind explode like fireworks.
The night is still long.
No one knows when this night will end.
