Because of the exposure of his scandalous video, Yang Qiqi’s reputation went down the drain. Many newcomers from the same company who had been bullied by him stood up and posted on Weibo, accusing him of maliciously squeezing them by taking advantage of his improper relationship with Huayu and Mr. Yu.

[Karma really comes full circle. Could anyone be spared?! Just because I stepped ahead of him on the red carpet once, my jobs for a year were all cancelled. His malicious acts were all hidden… Now I understand why he could be so rampant. It turns out that he hooked up with the company’s upper management.]

[I’ve also suffered this same kind of unfair treatment. It was obviously my drama. I had already been notified of the interview result and only learned the next day that Yang Qiqi robbed me of my Male Lead role.]

[It’s not uncommon for Yang Qiqi to use his seniority to bully newcomers in the company. Additionally, he’s even more aggressive towards Mr. Shen Yu, who debuted at the same time as he did. Almost all of his works were taken over by him and there were also some rumours he discussed behind everyone’s backs. Isn’t it because he has some kind of enmity with Teacher Shen Yu…]

The subway arrived at the station. Shen Yu turned off Weibo to prepare and get off.

Feng SiRui suddenly leaned over towards him, “Are you happy?”

“What should I be happy about?” Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, looking completely confused.

“Yang Qiqi not only withdrew from this show but his contract has also been terminated by Huayu. As far as I know, the reparations are so high that he could never afford to pay them off.”

Faced with Feng SiRui’s inquiry, Shen Yu blinked, “What does it have to do with me?”

He suddenly spotted Yan Ruiqing from the corner of his eye. He turned his head towards him and asked with a half-smile, “You two have a good relationship in private, aren’t you going to help him?”

Yan Ruiqing smiled stiffly, “Me?”

“Yang Qiqi and I aren’t that familiar with each other. Besides, I can’t do anything to help…”

“Not familiar?” Shen Yu had an exaggerated expression on his face, “I heard the two of you whispering in the storage room last night.”

“Could this still be the so-called not familiar?!”

Yan Ruiqing’s expression changed, “Could you have heard wrongly? When was I whispering to him?”

The subway finally arrived at the station and he hurriedly got off the train.

Shen Yu pursed his lips and didn’t continue.

Qi Lulu and Feng Huanmei, who had been paying attention to them, looked at each other. They both saw the deep meaning in each other’s eyes.

Both of them knew that Yan Ruiqing was lying.

They had seen them both talking secretly several times. But when something happened they started picking each other off1… In contrast, Shen Yu calling him a white lotus makes sense now.

They really had to be careful.

After stepping out of the subway, the remaining four pairs of guests rushed to their first destination – The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar.

Shen Yu walked in front, next to him was Feng SiRui who didn’t say a word.

For some unknown reason, Li Hao followed them closely and completely ignored Yan Ruiqing’s opinions.

Jokes flew in the live broadcast room.

[Is Li Hao here to form a team to participate in the show or to join other couples?! Why did he follow Shen Yu as if he forgot he still had a partner?!]

[There’s no choice, our Master Shen is full of charm and knowledge. Who wouldn’t want to follow him?!]

[You forgot to add another sentence. Master Shen can resist and fight back with his mouth cannon!]

Feng SiRui suddenly stood still, turned his head and stared at Li Hao, “What are you doing here?!”

Li Hao scratched his head in embarrassment, “I just want to hear his explanations.”

Feng SiRui narrowed his eyes, “Not allowed to!”

“Besides, how do you know that he’s going to explain anything?”

Li Hao looked at Shen Yu’s back and hesitated.

“If you don’t make it clear, I won’t let you follow us!” Feng SiRui’s voice was deep. His eyes were stubborn and determined.

Li Hao opened his mouth and finally made a sound, “I did a show with Shen Yu before, but I think he might not remember me.”

“In that program, he revealed that he often travelled to various countries and is well aware of the local customs, history and culture.”

“I found from the program that Shen Yu has a good memory and can easily remember anything. Basically he has everything at his fingertips…”

“I really admire him, so I want to tag along.”

Feng SiRui narrowed his eyes and his gaze became dangerous, “He’s my person. It’s useless even if you admire him!”

Li Hao was startled. He then smiled, “Don’t worry Mr. Feng, a gentleman doesn’t snatch what other people like. I just appreciate him.”

“Even admiring him is not allowed!” Feng SiRui blurted out.

There was a lot of joy coming from the live broadcast room.

[Does Master Shen know that his husband is jealous? Even appreciating him is not allowed! If this trend continues, will he be locked in a small black room and not be allowed to come out?!]

[What’s the matter with this unexpected feeling of expectation?! I want to see Master Shen being locked up and crying. I feel excited just thinking about it!]

[Enough arguing. Can’t everyone see that Master Shen is already immersed in the tour and iss not paying attention to what’s happening behind him!]

The netizens were right. Shen Yu didn’t hear the conversation between the two and went straight to the cathedral.

“Every year in early October, there will be sacrifices, dances and bullfights here. We came at the wrong time. The workers inside are already preparing the stage. Many places that could be visited are sealed off right now.”

As the cameras shifted to another angle, they were surprised to find that the workers were really very busy, “How did you know that?!”

Shen Yu rolled his eyes and raised the brochure in his hand, “Don’t you plan your trips in advance?”

[Haha, the cameraman is being despised2 now, how awful!]

[Being despised by Master Shen, it could be considered as a kind of honor, right?!]

[I want to hear an explanation! Master Shen is simply the peak of the entertainment circle. Why didn’t I notice this treasure before?!]

[You guys actually forgot about his scandalous photo? Are you going to become a licking dog3 so soon?!]

[It’s said that Huayu has already called the police and will not tolerate such evil in the entertainment industry. When the time comes, the law will give a fair answer to who is right or wrong. So there’s no need for you to beep-beep-beep here!]

Yan Ruiqing was walking towards the cathedral, squinting his eyes at the three people walking up-front. He suddenly said aggrievedly, “Shen Yu is so popular. Even my partner is attracted to him.”

“Maybe it’s because I’m always sick…”

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Huanmei and Qi Lulu, who were walking close to him, looked at each other.

“Feng-jie, let’s catch up with them.” Qi Lulu took Feng Huanmei’s hand and walked straight forward, followed by their own husbands.

When passing by Yan Ruiqing, she gave him a meaningful look. As if she had encountered some scourge and wanted to avoid it.

He was suddenly isolated. Yan Ruiqing didn’t expect this and his face darkened.

Shen Yu was still on his way to the cathedral when suddenly his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Director Wang. He hurriedly answered the phone, “Is there an emergency?”

“How many days do you guys still need to film? The investor said that they were going to come visit the set and that they want to see you film.”

Shen Yu was a little surprised and then asked after a pause, “When will they arrive?”

“The day after tomorrow.”

Shen Yu thought for a moment, “It should be no problem. I’ll finish work as soon as possible.”

“That’s for the best…” Wang Meng was about to hang up the phone after she finished speaking.

Shen Yu asked hesitantly, “Director Wang, about my picture…”

“I’ve seen it already…” Wang Meng’s dissatisfied voice came, “Why were you so thin in the photo?”

“Your figure right now is way better!”

Shen Yu,”…”

—— ‘Should this be the main point?!’

meaning they’d shoot each other when one is down
