BHBF Chapter 97.1

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 5) Chapter 97.1: The Son Is The Villian (19)

The overwhelming number of photos online was something Shao Yu had never expected.
Shao Yu initially thought Ying Siyi was just unlucky to have those photos taken, but now that President Wang has suddenly called, Shao Yu immediately understood and asked, “President Wang, did you do this?”

Mr. Wang immediately agreed and apologized to Shao Yu, saying, “I originally just wanted to see if I could play matchmaker and bring you two together, but I didn’t expect my subordinates to be so greedy for money and actually sell this matter to the media.”

“Director Shao, I’m sorry that you’ve been dragged into this and made a laughingstock. I deserve to be punished.”

“Director Shao, there are plenty of fish in the sea. You’re already successful, why bother with this one person? If you don’t mind, I have a niece who just graduated from university. She can definitely take good care of your two children.”

After saying this, President Wang not only clarified the matter but also took credit for it, and then had a sudden inspiration to arrange a blind date for Shao Yu.

Shao Yu smiled helplessly and said, “I have a family to support, so I won’t hold that good girl back. However, I know your intentions are good, and I am grateful for it.”

When Mr. Wang heard him say that, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since the two had been divorced for more than a year, this matter should not have such a big impact on Shao Yu.

Shao Yu continued, “Have you noticed a certain company?”

Mr. Wang immediately became interested.

Shao Yu said, “Lijing Media.”

This company was founded only a few years ago, but it has already produced several TV series, all of which have achieved good ratings.

After Shao Yu’s reminder, President Wang asked, “Director Shao, are you suggesting I invest?”

“I’m thinking of investing in a small stake. What do you think, Mr. Wang?”

Mr. Wang immediately said, “Director Shao is a professional. Since you have high hopes for this company, it must have something special about it.”

When President Wang hung up the phone, he couldn’t hide the smile on his face. Although he hated his subordinates for acting recklessly, he was glad that Shao Yu didn’t hold a grudge and gave him some good news.

Shao Yu does indeed intend to invest in Lijing Media. This company is one of the few in the industry that is single-mindedly focused on producing good dramas. After the market has been bombarded with bad dramas, it will eventually return to the right path. As long as Lijing persists, it will eventually produce a super hit.

Looking at the overwhelming amount of negative information online, Shao Yu saw that Ying Siyi’s photos were clear and pointed out, which meant that she was completely proven guilty. At this time, there was a barrage of criticism online, and even Shao Yu’s Weibo was in an uproar.

Some people even asked Shao Yu if he divorced Ying Siyi because of her chaotic private life and marital infidelity.

Shao Yu did not answer. He was still puzzled as to how Ying Siyi had ended up in this situation.

These photos include pictures of Ying Siyi on set and pictures of her in private, but none of them are very flattering.

She abused her assistant on set, acted like she was playing alphabet games with men, and seemed to be with different men over several days, behaving intimately that was unlike that of ordinary friends.

All of this is the result of Mr. Wang sending people to follow and film us these past few days.

Shao Yu naturally recognized the man in the photo as Zheng Minglang.

According to the original storyline, this man would be Ying Siyi’s husband. The couple would be loving and harmonious, and the children would get along well. They would even become a model couple in the entertainment industry. However, in the photos that have been released, Zheng Minglang’s attitude towards Ying Siyi is not like that of a future wife, but rather like that of a plaything.

Shao Yu was able to recognize who was in the photo, and netizens naturally dug it up as well. Zheng Minglang’s name also became a trending topic, and the artists under his company were also implicated.

Zheng Minglang couldn’t figure out which hothead was messing with him. After investigating for a long time, he finally found out it was President Wang. But President Wang had nothing to do with the entertainment industry. The only connection he could find with the entertainment industry was that he used to be Shao Yu’s creditor.

Zheng Minglang couldn’t help but think of Shao Yu, but he quickly dismissed the idea. After all, whether he was the creditor or the debtor, he always found the other party repulsive. President Wang shouldn’t have done so much for Shao Yu.

Zheng Minglang is powerful and influential in the entertainment industry, but his influence is naturally less outside of it. Therefore, he can’t do much about President Wang. At this time, he can only try to minimize the impact. In order to salvage the company’s reputation, he has no choice but to urgently resign as chairman, and his younger brother will take over as the new chairman.

Despite losing his position as chairman, Zheng Minglang remained calm. He still owned the most shares, and he believed he could regain his position once things calmed down.

In the end, this kind of thing hurts the woman more, and Ying Siyi couldn’t even leave the house at this point.

She frantically called her agent and Zheng Minglang, blaming them for ruining her life. Zheng Minglang simply wouldn’t answer the phone. Her agent was also in a panic, trying to figure out how to handle the situation. When she received Ying Siyi’s abusive call, she couldn’t help but argue back.

The agent, who had initially tried to salvage the situation, was disheartened by Ying Siyi’s outburst and immediately said, “Since you think the fault lies entirely with me, then let’s terminate the contract!”

Ying Siyi made a series of mistakes, but instead of taking the blame, she felt that the agent was incompetent and that her connections were also inadequate. So she said, “Fine, I’ll terminate the contract. I can find someone better without you!”

The agent immediately hung up the phone, and Ying Siyi immediately clarified on Weibo that it was all because the agent had forced her.

Such foolish remarks could only be believed by her fans, which could be considered a way to salvage some of her reputation, but Ying Siyi knew that this alone would not do any good.

Although Ying Siyi’s career is not completely ruined, this is still very damaging. Her endorsements have all requested to terminate their contracts, and as the party at fault, Ying Siyi also faces a huge amount of compensation.

The door was full of reporters, and she didn’t dare to go out at all. Her agent had also been dismissed. After careful consideration, she decided to go find Shao Yu. After some twists and turns, she finally got in touch with Shao Yu.

“Husband, please help me…” Ying Siyi cried out.

Shao Yu wasn’t surprised at all when he received her call.

“I’m a big star, I can’t just collapse like this.” Ying Siyi added, “Honey, let me be the lead in your next movie. As long as I can pull through, I can get back on my feet. You don’t want Yiyi and Tiantian to have an embarrassing mother, right?”Shao Yu frowned slightly upon hearing this and said, “I really don’t want the two children to have a mother who brings shame upon them, but your situation is beyond my control.”

When Ying Siyi was with Shao Yu, she always acted like a proud goddess. Who would have thought that she would be a completely different person when she was with Zheng Minglang in private?

Shao Yu couldn’t control what Ying Siyi did, nor was she afraid that her two children would be implicated by her.

Ying Siyi used to have a smooth life. Even when her husband went bankrupt, she was able to quickly turn things around by relying on her image as a virtuous wife and loving mother. But now, Ying Siyi has not been doing well since her divorce from Shao Yu.

Every project she filmed flopped, the endorsements she just secured quickly went wrong, and the variety shows she worked so hard to get made her the target of ridicule. Ying Siyi even couldn’t help but wonder if she was truly cursed, which was why she was so unlucky.

When things aren’t going well, people’s bottom line becomes particularly low. So, for the sake of resources, Ying Siyi tolerated all of Zheng Minglang’s particularly excessive demands.

“It was an accident, there was nothing I could do,” Ying Siyi said, her voice full of grievance.

Shao Yu said, “It’s nothing.”

Ying Siyi felt relieved, assuming that Shao Yu didn’t care, and immediately said, “Honey, I’ve thought it through. Those people are nothing. To me, the most important person is always you. If it weren’t for my agent forcing me to divorce, I would never have left you.”

Such nonsense can only fool the husband who jumped off the building for her.

Shao Yu said, “Coincidentally, I’ve also figured it out.”

Ying Siyi was taken aback upon hearing this, and a bad feeling crept over her.

Sure enough, Shao Yu continued, “I thought you were the most important person to me, but after dying once, I’ve realized that the two children are still the most important. Since we’re divorced, we should go our separate ways.”

Even though she was mentally prepared by what happened last time, it was Zhang Ming who warned her then. Now that Shao Yu said these words in person, she found it hard to accept.

After her last glimmer of hope was shattered, Ying Siyi couldn’t help but ask, “It was Gu Jiaying, wasn’t it? I knew that vixen had no good intentions! Don’t believe her, she’s faking it. She hates me so much, she definitely won’t treat Yiyi and Tiantian well.”

Shao Yu didn’t say anything, but Ying Siyi had already automatically imagined a whole drama unfolding in her mind.

“Isn’t she your good friend? Why would she hate you?” Shao Yu asked.

“She hates me for taking her role, she hates me for suppressing her!” Ying Siyi blurted out the truth almost without thinking.

Shao Yu said, “So this is how you make friends with others.”

Ying Siyi was taken aback, and then belatedly realized that her words seemed to have cast a shadow over her image in Shao Yu’s mind.

She wanted to elaborate, but Shao Yu said, “I misjudged you. You’re not the leading lady in my heart at all.”

Although Ying Siyi’s reputation is ruined, she has not been blacklisted and still has a chance to make a comeback. Hearing this, Ying Siyi became anxious.

Her private life has been thoroughly exposed, and now that she wants to return to the top tier of stardom, collaborating with her ex-husband on a hit product is undoubtedly the fastest way. This would generate buzz and demonstrate that she and her ex-husband have a harmonious relationship, thus dispelling suspicions of infidelity during their marriage.

“Don’t, don’t hang up the phone!”

Ying Siyi now only has Shao Yu as her lifeline.

Ying Siyi retorted, “Outsiders say I have a chaotic private life, but it’s actually because I miss you so much, honey. Do you remember? In the hotel in the Maldives, we…”

Before he could finish speaking, Shao Yu interrupted him: “I don’t remember.”
