Xu Wang looked upstairs. The villa the production team had rented had a spiral staircase, and he and Yun Xi were sitting right in the center of the hall.
"The second floor should be the crew's rooms, right? Didn't they all go out today? Why are there noises? It's not haunted, is it?" By the end, Yun Xi's little face had gone deathly pale.
"Impossible." Xu Wang stood up.
Seeing this, Yun Xi hurried to follow close behind Xu Wang, clutching the hem of his shirt with both hands.
When they reached the second floor, the sounds became even clearer.
Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Xu Wang raised an eyebrow. If he was right, the person laughing should be Tian Xiaowu.
The two had probably come upstairs because they were afraid of waking Qu Rou and the others.
Seeing Xu Wang suddenly stop, Yun Xi curiously stepped forward to the corner. The moment he poked his head around it, he saw a scene that made him want to wash his eyes out.
Not far away, Tian Xiaowu was hugging Zheng Weiguang's arm, beaming.
Zheng Weiguang had his arm around Tian Xiaowu's waist, looking thoroughly smug.
"Weiguang, when will you finally get divorced?"
"Wait a little longer. I've already had people investigate, and they've found evidence. As long as I get my hands on it without a hitch, Qu Rou will definitely walk away without a penny. Then I'll get all the assets, and I'll still be the victim. That way, when I get together with you, there won't be too much opposition."
"Weiguang, you're so clever."
Listening to their shameless conversation, Yun Xi suddenly remembered something and hurriedly covered the camera he was holding.
But in his panic, he made a little too much noise, alerting the two nearby that something was wrong.
"Who's there?" Zheng Weiguang's expression changed, and he strode over.
Yun Xi nearly tripped over his own feet as he scrambled behind Xu Wang.
Looking at the scene before him, Xu Wang had no intention of hiding. After all, once this got out, hiding would be useless for both him and Yun Xi.
"Xu Wang?" Zheng Weiguang's expression turned extremely ugly when he saw Xu Wang. Had it been anyone else, he would have had a way to keep their mouth shut. It would only have cost him some money. But the person standing before him now was Xu Wang.
"Enjoying yourself, Mr. Zheng?" Xu Wang glanced at Zheng Weiguang, then at the meticulously dressed Tian Xiaowu beside him.
Feeling his gaze, Tian Xiaowu broke out in a bead of cold sweat on her forehead.
"You may have misunderstood, Mr. Xu. Miss Tian was just about to slip, and I stepped forward to steady her." After thinking for a long time, Zheng Weiguang ultimately resorted to this clichéd excuse.
"Ohhh." Xu Wang once again put that drawn-out "oh" to exquisite use.
Hearing it, Zheng Weiguang's face darkened. He had felt nothing much when he heard Xu Wang say it to other people before, but now that it was directed at him, it felt as though he had been stripped completely bare.
"Mr. Zheng, whether I believe what you said isn't actually all that important. What matters is whether other people believe it." Xu Wang looked at him with a feigned air of hesitation.
Only then did Zheng Weiguang notice Yun Xi behind Xu Wang. Seeing that it was Yun Xi, Zheng Weiguang sighed in relief. At worst, promising him some more opportunities should be enough to keep this secret.
"You may have misunderstood me, Mr. Zheng. He's not the only person I meant." Xu Wang raised a finger on his right hand and wagged it from side to side.
"What do you mean, Mr. Xu?" Zheng Weiguang clenched both hands into fists, his brows tightly knitted. He did not understand what Xu Wang meant.
"This is what I mean." Xu Wang took the phone from Yun Xi. When he turned the screen toward Zheng Weiguang, it showed a livestream page. At that very moment, the viewer count was in the millions.
In other words, millions of people had already heard Zheng Weiguang's conversation.
Zheng Weiguang's expression completely shattered. He strode away, pulling out his phone to call someone.
Tian Xiaowu was also trembling with fright. She knew she was finished.
Watching their retreating figures hurry away, Xu Wang tossed the phone back to Yun Xi.
Yun Xi crouched in a corner like a fat, moldy mushroom.
"Did I get into trouble?"
"Have some confidence. Don't be stingy about adding 'big' before 'trouble.'" Xu Wang patted Yun Xi's shoulder in consolation.
"Is that how you comfort someone? I take back what I thought earlier about you being cool." Yun Xi looked gloomily at his livestream. Sure enough, it had already exploded.
[OMG! This is way too explosive.]
[A model couple in the industry for nearly ten years, and one of them is cheating with a newcomer who just debuted.]
[So disgusting. I only just checked in at their couple fan community the day before yesterday.]
[Help, their shippers were even planning to celebrate their tenth anniversary. Just thinking about it, I feel bad for those fans. They don't deserve this.]
[I seriously can't take this anymore. Don't they have any idea how much money they've made off this model-couple image? So while we were spending money on them, he was out having his fun?]
[It doesn't seem to be just him. From what he said, Qu Rou probably isn't a good person either. Didn't he say they'd already found evidence? What kind of decent evidence could leave someone without a penny in a divorce?]
[Unbelievable.]
[Please, let the hammer of thunder hurry up and smash those two to death. I seriously want to drown them in my spit.]
