Chapter 148 - 148: 148: She doesn’t know how many people are waiting to see her make a fool of herself
The live broadcast she recorded had been seen by the entire nation. Now, even if she wanted to clear her name, there was no way to do so completely.
What infuriated her the most wasn’t that she had been set up by the production crew, but that Shi Mufeng had deceived her!
Rong Weiwei stared fixedly at the embracing man and woman on her cellphone screen, so angry she was practically shaking. With a flick of her wrist, she violently hurled the phone against the wall.
It shattered into pieces!
“My phone!” The talent manager watched his own phone fly in an arc towards the wall, powerless to stop it, and in moments it was smashed.
Rong Weiwei, with a face ashen with anger, reprimanded discontentedly,
“What are you shouting for? I’ll buy you a new one.”
The talent manager moved his lips but ultimately didn’t retort.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford a new phone; the problem was while phones were easy to buy, the phone numbers stored inside were not. The missy’s temper had resulted in his phone getting smashed, and he couldn’t help but feel exasperated.
“Weiwei, what do we do now?” the talent manager tentatively asked her.
Rong Weiwei glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, her face cold, her smile not reaching her eyes, “You seem to have plenty of ideas, don’t you? I didn’t even know about the statement the studio released. Why are you asking me what to do now?”
“…At the time, I didn’t anticipate the situation, who would have thought that Rong Yan still had something of Mr. Shi’s in her possession. I asked Mr. Shi at the time, and he didn’t mention it to me either.” He also defended himself with a face full of grievance.
Could he be blamed for this? Mr. Shi had never mentioned this matter to him. If anyone was at fault, it was Mr. Shi for not cleaning up his own mess after cheating, allowing others to catch him red-handed…
Rong Weiwei was already sufficiently upset, so hearing his whining only increased her irritation, “Enough. What’s the use of talking so much now? You weren’t this talkative when it actually mattered!”
“Weiwei…”
Rong Weiwei waved her hand dismissively, “Stop. The urgent matter is to figure out how to solve the problem at hand.”
She lowered her gaze, pondering for a moment, then decisively said, “You, contact the reporters. I want to do an exclusive interview with a media outlet.”
“Weiwei, you want to give an interview now?”
There was a chorus of negativity outside; her accepting an interview at this time would only draw more attention to the scandal.
Rong Weiwei truly didn’t understand why she had chosen such an incompetent manager. Barely suppressing the blood she felt like vomiting, she said, “What else can I do? Wait until the internet has had its fill of cursing me before I come out acting as if nothing happened?”
“But… ”
“Right now, I can’t worry about the general public’s opinion. I must first placate my fans. Fans are the most important! Everything else can be turned around through my work.”
She was an actress; with a well-crafted character and good promotion, one could make a comeback. Right now, her top priority was to calm down her fans. Not coming forward would only prove her own guilt.
But at a time like this, Rong Weiwei dug her nails deeply into her flesh, seething with hatred for Rong Yan. Everyone knew she had been cheated on, and there she was, publicly displaying affection on the show… It was easy to imagine how many people were laughing at her. She owed all her misfortune to Rong Yan.
She was not going to let it go just like that!
Rong Weiwei took a deep breath to suppress the tumultuous feeling in her chest and quickly said to the manager, “Get to work on finding that female model in the video. We have to shut her up, don’t let her go around talking.
Whatever amount she asks for, transfer it to her from my card!”
She was humiliated by her fiancé’s betrayal and still had to clean up after him… Rong Weiwei couldn’t express how stifled she felt!
She clenched her teeth, her eyes burning with even more hatred—Rong Yan, just you wait!
