[Ye Yizhou, stop playing dead. You dared to do it, but you won't admit it?]
[Did serving that old man feel good? So disgusting. So shameful.]
Many of the comments about Ye Yizhou on the trending topics were downright filthy. Each commenter condemned him from their moral high ground, as though they were something special.
[My poor baby had his popularity leeched off and got slandered on top of it. Ye Yizhou, why don't you just die!]
[Poor Jincheng.]
[Seeing all Ye Yizhou's disgusting antics made even a casual observer like me feel sorry for Song Jincheng. I'm a fan now.]
[Welcome to the fandom! Our boy really is amazing.]
While putting Ye Yizhou down to make himself look good, he also made sure to stir up his fans' distress and play the victim to win sympathy and attract new fans.
Song Jincheng had already perfected this routine.
Ye Yizhou V: This trending topic gave my dad a good laugh. [Image][Image][Image][Image][Image][Image][Image]
Sure enough, the moment Ye Yizhou posted on Weibo, all sorts of marketing accounts reposted it. Before long, #Ye Yizhou says this trending topic gave my dad a good laugh# made the trending list.
The highlight of Ye Yizhou's post was the screenshots of a WeChat conversation attached to it.
Group name: One big happy family
Ye Yizhou: @Cranky old man, are they famous detectives reincarnated? How did they know you're keeping me? How did they know I have to keep you happy before you'll spend money on me and buy me houses and cars? /Shy
Cranky old man: What the hell? I'd be happy if you could go a couple of days without pissing me off. Have the young master please me? Am I worthy? Ha-ha.
Ye Yizhou: See, the public has sharp eyes. [Link]
Cranky old man: Utter nonsense. I'm 186 centimeters tall. What's the meaning of taking a photo that makes me look 168?
Ye Yizhou: Hahahahahahahahaha
Cranky old man: Your hahaha is hurting my eyes. Unsend it.
Ye Yizhou: Hahahahahahahahaha
Your loaded big brother: Laughing and pounding the floor.JPG
Pretty lady: /Laughing behind hand
Ye Yizhou: Mom, kisses =3=
Pretty lady: Kisses~
Cranky old man: You ungrateful son, did you hire someone to take that unflattering photo of me? Are you really that vindictive?
Ye Yizhou: /Eye roll
Ye Yizhou: Didn't I remind you that day not to keep grabbing me because it looked bad?
Cranky old man: If I didn't hold on to you, what if you ran away? I finally managed to catch you. Wouldn't I be an idiot to let go?
Ye Yizhou: I mean, can't we have some basic trust between people?
Cranky old man: There is trust between people, but which of those two people do you qualify as? /Confused
Your loaded big brother: Dad, that's a harsh thing to say.
Your loaded big brother: Is Yizhou really that unreasonable? It's just taking over the family business. That would be a piece of cake for him. He wouldn't run away over that.
Cranky old man: Uh... friendly fire?
Ye Yizhou: ...Shut up. Take over yourself if you're so capable.
Your loaded big brother: I have another meeting. My phone's on silent.
Cranky old man: Your mother and I are boarding our flight. My phone's switched off.
And that was how the conversation ended.
Nothing in the entire chat showed his dad getting a good laugh as Ye Yizhou had claimed. Everyone except Ye Yizhou's dad was the one laughing.
It seemed to explain nothing, yet somehow it explained everything.
Every contact nickname Ye Yizhou used in the group clearly reflected who they were and their relationship to him.
[I'm dying. Why is Ye Yizhou's whole family so funny?]
[You can tell just from the nickname that Ye Yizhou's dad doesn't rank very high in his heart, hahaha.]
[This kind of clarification really gets through to me more easily than a direct explanation.]
[A chat with a few random people counts as evidence now?]
[Exactly. I could make hundreds of pages of chat records like that all by myself.]
[You dared to marry an old man, but now you won't admit he's your husband? What a joke!]
Naturally, some people didn't believe the WeChat conversation Ye Yizhou posted to clear things up, but that didn't matter.
Ye Yizhou unhurriedly made another Weibo post.
Ye Yizhou V: This damn romance isn't even remotely warm, and you still dare to mess with me. I'm more resentful than a ghost right now. [Image][Image]
The images attached to this post were concise and to the point.
One showed the contents of his marriage certificate. Most of the details had been obscured, leaving only the certificate holder's name, Ye Yizhou, his date of birth, and the other certificate holder's date of birth.
Yan Qingdu was thirty that year, six years older than Ye Yizhou.
He was in the prime of his youth, powerful evidence that directly slapped down their claims that Ye Yizhou had married an old man for money.
The other chat screenshot didn't actually contain much meaningful conversation.
It was basically "Have you eaten?" "Yes," "Going to bed," and "Good night."
The most noteworthy thing was the eight-hour time difference between their replies. It really wasn't a romance that could be called warm.
Without Ye Yizhou needing to steer them toward anything, there were naturally clearheaded people who followed the clues he provided to find corroborating evidence.
They verified that everything Ye Yizhou had said during the dating show livestream was true.
Whether it was going home to inherit the family business or his newlywed husband traveling abroad for work, it all checked out.
Of course, some people questioned the authenticity of his evidence and even mindlessly claimed that his marriage certificate was photoshopped, that it was all a ploy to whitewash his reputation.
They challenged Ye Yizhou to come forward with his newlywed husband and say it to their faces!
Ye Yizhou made another Weibo post.
Ye Yizhou V: I've contacted a lawyer to collect evidence. The law will tell you whether I'm lying. Wait and see. ^-^
When dealing with people who fabricated and spread rumors, it was necessary to use the law to defend his rights.
Because with people who believed him, he didn't need to say anything.
Those who didn't believe him didn't care what he said at all.
Still, many people thought Ye Yizhou was just bluffing and wouldn't actually sue. With so many people saying it, how could he possibly sue them all?
Ye Yizhou couldn't even spare a single lawyer's letter to fool people with.
Especially since they were used to bullying Ye Yizhou, they grew even more brazen now, hurling even nastier abuse in his comments.
Reading those comments, Ye Yizhou couldn't help chuckling. They would wait and see.
He would leave professional matters to a professional team. He still had his own new work to deal with!
At nine fifty the next morning, Ye Yizhou appeared at the entrance of Entertainment Emperor Entertainment in a well-tailored black suit.
Since Ye Yizhou was an artist signed to the company and had been ranking high on the trending list, everyone recognized him. Naturally, no one stopped him from entering.
Ye Yizhou hadn't shown up at the company in ages, and now he had suddenly been summoned back. It probably wasn't a small problem!
