Chapter 161: It’s Not in My Nature

Chapter 161

"Have you decided how you want to handle this?"

Huo Shao Ting poured her a cup of warm water and leaned against the bed, putting an arm under her head as a pillow, and gently asked her.

Rong Dai naturally drank the warm water he handed over, her gaze fixed seriously on the video.

The video was very clear. Judging from the angle, it should have been filmed by someone attending the banquet.

She thought back to the seating arrangement at the banquet, and Qiao Wanzhou's figure appeared in her mind.

She shook her head, "Let the netizens scold enough for now. Refuting it too quickly will likely lead to accusations of scheming."

She had always lived by the principle of not bothering others if they didn't bother her.

If it hadn't been for Yang Wanwan coming to find trouble, she wouldn't have made things difficult for the other party either.

But since Yang Wanwan liked to play this way, she would just have to accompany her to the end.

What's more, Yang Wanwan had a huge number of fans, most of whom were loyal to her looks, commonly known as "sycophants".

These blindly doting fans could be extremely terrifying when riled up.

She was well aware of the damage words could do.

Everything from her past life was too deeply etched into her heart.

Huo Shao Ting looked at her approvingly and stole another kiss on her forehead, "My wife is so clever."

Rong Dai was instantly annoyed and rolled her eyes at him. She felt like he was actually praising his own good judgement.

She continued browsing through the messages on Weibo. In just three short hours, she had already been cursed to high heaven on the hot search topics by Yang Wanwan's fans.

Under every post she made, there were countless unsightly profanities that she couldn't even count.

Seeing these dirty words, Rong Dai's heart remained calm.

Fortunately, she had the memories and experiences from her past life, which had already honed an extremely resilient spirit and heart.

Otherwise, any other new actress in her shoes seeing these messages would surely be angered to despair.

She was clearly the injured party, yet she was the one under attack.

Human nature was indeed fickle and sinister.

"You're not bothered by this?"

Although Huo Shao Ting was not involved in the entertainment industry, he had made an effort to understand some things for his wife's sake.

Even though he wasn't a big shot in this circle, the Huo Corporation had entertainment companies under its umbrella. Getting to know the rules here wasn't too difficult for him.

Rong Dai looked up at him and smiled, "You're hoping that I'll get angry?"

"I can do anything for your sake, but I will absolutely not go against my true nature to cater to you. That would not be love, but a disgusting currying of favor."

Huo Shao Ting had not expected his casual remark to elicit such a long response from her. His arm reflexively tightened around her in an embrace.

His slightly cool lips kissed her forehead, his own voice serious as he replied, "I understand."

With her expressing it so adamantly, how could he not understand?

At the same time, his heart ached over her past, yet also rejoiced that she was willing to say these things to him.

This allowed him to understand even more clearly what she needed.

Rong Dai leaned against his strong chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, feeling extremely reassured.

"Right, can you get Qiao Wanzhou's contact information?"

After the husband and wife had communicated, she also did not forget the main issue.

Huo Shao Ting looked at her helplessly. His little wife really made him love her and feel helpless at the same time.

She could be emotional or rational, sometimes even more level-headed than a man.

"I can."

As he spoke, he called his assistant Zhang and within two minutes, Zhang had sent over Qiao Wanzhou's contact details.

Her Weibo, WeChat, and personal number were all very comprehensive.

Rong Dai clicked her tongue in wonder and added her on WeChat.

"Why are you adding her?" Huo Shao Ting asked.

As Rong Dai waited for a reply from the other party, she also opened up that video again to explain.

"I was at the banquet then. I remember many people's positions there. Judging from this angle, the person filming should be Miss Qiao at the time."

"Since I can tell, netizens will definitely also be able to deduce it. With so many people present, it's likely someone could expose it."

After all, Qiao Wanzhou was a top A-list actress, not just a celebrity. Her professional skills were outstanding.

At a young age, relying solely on her superb acting, she had swept all the highly regarded domestic awards, and also won many international awards, even gaining a foothold in international cinema.

These were things that other domestic actresses of the same generation could not achieve, but Qiao Wanzhou had done it.

She had clearly sent this video to help Rong Dai, out of good intentions.

But if she simply released it as is, people would definitely analyze the banquet layout and deduce it was Qiao Wanzhou who filmed it.

So Rong Dai would not release this video yet. Firstly to let the netizens enjoy scolding her for a bit more, and secondly to consider Qiao Wanzhou's position.

She could not implicate others over her own matters.
