Hang City, inside a luxurious apartment worth over ten million.
"Screw it!"
Hua Yiwu furiously threw his phone on the ground. The screen of the latest model Apple phone, worth over ten thousand, was shattered, but Hua Yiwu didnât feel any pain over it.
"Sweetheart, whatâs the matter? Why are you so angry? Wasnât that issue already resolved?" At this moment, a middle-aged woman emerged from the inner room, asking with concern.
This woman was Hua Yiwuâs mother.
Hua Yiwu said, "My clarification on Weibo, combined with the efforts of my company and fans to control the comments, indeed turned the public opinion around, but Xishi Company still refuses to renew my contract! Not only that, I just learned that my program on the Central Mediaâs Spring Festival Gala got canceled, and I was planning to use this opportunity to elevate myself further. This is outrageous, and itâs all because of that bitchy woman!"
Hua Yiwu swore angrily, clearly hating Ms. Zhu, feeling she made him lose many opportunities and earn less money.
Mrs. Hua frowned and said, "Seriously? Hasnât the public opinion turned already? Why are they still doing this? This Xishi Company lacks foresight; not signing with my sweetheart is their loss. And Central Media too, such a big media outlet, how could they be so confused? You joining their program could bring them traffic, and now they suffer a huge loss!"
Hua Yiwu scoffed, "Itâs all because of that bitch with the last name Zhu! Theyâre definitely still waiting to see what that bitchâs next move will be. For this matter to pass, we must find a way to shut her up completely!"
Mrs. Hua couldnât help but exclaim angrily, "That little bitch is really annoying, what does she want, money? Sweetheart, why donât we just give her some money! We arenât short of money anyway; problems that can be solved with money arenât really problems."
Hua Yiwu said, "The company tried reaching out to her, but she refused the money and even blacklisted the company personnel. Now, I also canât get in touch with her; sheâs hell-bent on ruining me and wonât negotiate with us anymore!"
Mrs. Hua shook with anger, "That little bitch... what exactly does she want? Does she want you to change your mind or marry her! Hmph! She must be delusional; does she think sheâs worthy of my star son, a big celebrity? Shameless bitch!"
Hua Yiwu, being a filial son, tried to comfort his mother: "Mom, donât get upset and hurt yourself over her, thereâs no need. Iâll handle this matter myself, you donât need to worry!"
Mrs. Hua asked, "Do you have a way to solve this?"
Hua Yiwu said, "That bitch claims she doesnât want money, just justice. As long as she doesnât have concrete evidence, no matter how much she jumps around, she canât do anything to me. Once the issueâs heat dies down over time, it should pass. Meanwhile, Iâll just carry on with my usual work!"
Mrs. Hua said, "Itâs best if you think this way, but we must still keep an eye on that little bitch. Who knows when sheâll kick up another fuss!"
Just then, a ringing sound came from the smashed Apple phone on the ground.
Hua Yiwu walked over, picked up the phone; though the screen was broken, the phone was still functional.
Seeing it was a call from his assistant, Hua Yiwu answered it.
"Young Master Hua, something bad happened, that woman with the last name Zhu is causing trouble again..." the assistant said anxiously.
Hua Yiwu and his mother exchanged glances, both angry and anxious; that woman with the last name Zhu still hadnât calmed down! Ms. Zhu was indeed stubborn and troublesome, refusing to let it go.
"Whatâs going on?" Hua Yiwu asked.
The assistant said, "Just now, that little bitch Zhu posted a Weibo claiming that seven victims have come forward to her, and she has concrete evidence proving that you drunkenly assaulted them! This issue has gone viral again."
Hua Yiwuâs face changed, quickly hung up the phone, and then opened Weibo. Sure enough, Ms. Zhu was trending again, this time claiming that seven women had come forward with similar accusations against Hua Yiwu.
Hua Yiwu shook with rage, "Damn it!"
Bang!
Once again, Hua Yiwu threw the phone hard on the ground and stomped on it in frustration. This time, the phone would not light up again; it was completely destroyed.
Still not over his anger, Hua Yiwu paced back and forth in the living room, cursing loudly: "Bitch, damn bitch!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Hua was startled, quickly took out her phone to check, stomping her foot: "That little bitch, what does she really want, why wonât she let you go? What should we do now?"
After pacing for a while, Hua Yiwu said, "Mom, call my studio and have them immediately issue a lawyerâs letter as a warning! That bitch is definitely trying to scare me; she has no evidence!"
Mrs. Hua said, "Alright, of course she has no evidence; my sweet son has always been well-behaved, how could he do the bad things she alleges!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Yiwuâs expression turned strange, but it passed quickly: "Mom, please make the call."
Mrs. Hua then picked up the phone and called, instructing the studio to contact a lawyer to draft a letter, responding to Ms. Zhu with a lawyerâs letter.
Just as Mrs. Hua put down the phone, another call came in. It was from Wei Jiansheng, the Big Boss himself. Mrs. Hua dared not delay and answered promptly.
"Mr. Wei?" Mrs. Hua said.
Wei Jiansheng said, "Why isnât Xiaohua answering the phone?"
Mrs. Hua said, "Sorry, his phoneâs having some issues, but heâs right next to me now."
Wei Jiansheng said, "Then put him on speaker... No, you both listen."
"Okay." Mrs. Hua turned on the speaker.
Wei Jiansheng coldly said, "Iâve just heard the latest news, that woman with the last name Zhu has started again. I thought the matter was settled, but it seems far from over. Xiaohua, Iâll ask you one more time, did you or did you not do those things?"
Mrs. Hua looked at Hua Yiwu.
Hua Yiwu hesitated for a moment, then showed a determined expression: "I swear, I didnât!"
Wei Jiansheng said, "You better not have. Honestly, Iâm tired of this issue. Handle it yourself, and sort it out quickly, understand?"
Hua Yiwu quickly said, "I understand, Mr. Wei."
Wei Jiansheng had already hung up the phone.
It seemed that Wei Jiansheng was also angry and felt annoyed by the matter, developing a sense of frustration towards Hua Yiwu.
This was not a good sign.
Mrs. Hua considered it, gritting her teeth, "Sweetheart, stay home, donât go anywhere. Let mom handle this; Iâll personally go to the studio now."
The call from Wei Jiansheng made her take it seriously, deciding to personally go to the studio and oversee the situation. Her sweetheart was now facing an unprecedented crisis, and she needed to help him through it.
To this, Hua Yiwu did not object. With his mother stepping in, he felt like he had someone to lean on, so he sat down.
Mrs. Hua then left the house, heading to the studio.
Hua Yiwu was Cherry Entertainmentâs popular artist, with a studio specifically set up for him to handle his personal affairs, a studio that Mrs. Hua had always managed.
Now Mrs. Hua decided to protect her son and would confront Ms. Zhu under the studioâs name.
Upon returning to the studio and issuing a lawyerâs letter, suddenly an employee informed her that someone claiming to represent Ms. Zhu was looking for her.
