BHBF Chapter 91.3

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 5) Chapter 91.2: The Son Is The Villian (3)

Shao Yu ignored Ying Siyi’s manuscript and instead revised his own.

Ying Siyi wanted to persuade Shao Yu to change it back, but Shao Yu said, “Your team has a problem. You are such a good person. Your statement should be magnanimous, not so petty.”

After carefully reviewing the draft, Ying Siyi still didn’t think there was anything wrong with her PR statement.

Shao Yu, however, pretended to be doing it for her own good and stubbornly said, “Siyi, listen to me, I won’t hurt you, I’m doing this all for your own good.”

Ying Siyi thought to herself that Shao Yu would not harm her, but he also couldn’t help her.

In the end, neither of them could persuade the other, and even when Ying Siyi got angry, Shao Yu refused to change.

The situation was at a stalemate, but on this day, while Ying Siyi was filming, a creditor suddenly rushed to the set, yelling at Ying Siyi with a ferocious expression, demanding repayment. This incident became a trending topic on social media that very day. Ying Siyi received sympathy from countless people, while Shao Yu was also severely criticized.

Without consulting Ying Siyi, Shao Yu immediately released a press release, posted their divorce certificate, and told all the creditors that he would pay off the debts within six months, stating that he would contact all the creditors to ensure that they would not affect Ying Siyi.

Compared to Shao Yu’s swift response, Ying Siyi was a step slower before releasing the press release.

Ying Siyi really wanted to be in the most advantageous position. She was always greedy and wanted everything. Her PR statement had to explain the fact of the divorce and also smear Shao Yu.

In contrast, Shao Yu’s press release showed only respect, appreciation, and support for his ex-wife, and he took all the blame upon himself, which made him seem much more magnanimous.

Shortly after Ying Siyi’s divorce statement was released, Shao Yu forwarded the photo that proved his infidelity, along with a lot of evidence showing what he was doing at the time mentioned in the news.

This photo was already blurry; the media got paid to fabricate something out of nothing.

The reason it was so easy to clarify is quite simple: the original owner was just too much of a pervert.

Ying Siyi was unaware that the original owner’s feelings for her actually surpassed those for anyone else. In the original owner’s life, his parents and children were not as important as Ying Siyi, so he devoted all his time and energy to her.

According to the news report, the original owner was not having a secret rendezvous with the mysterious woman, but rather was enthusiastically supporting Ying Siyi in her fan group.

A long string of chat screenshots showed that almost every minute was spent in the group chat discussing support arrangements for Ying Siyi two days later. Shao Yu even revealed the IP address records from that time.

Keyboard warriors know that with such intense online chatting, where would they find the time to have an affair?

Shao Yu revealed four accounts in one go. These four accounts were known to many of Ying Siyi’s die-hard fans. These four accounts had always appeared wealthy and mysterious, never revealing their identities, and never actually participating in any support activities.

However, these four accounts sponsored a lot of money for each support activity, which can be said to account for half of Ying Siyi’s wealthy fans.

The original owner of this body didn’t know if it was because of shyness, so he never told Ying Siyi about these accounts and kept doing these things quietly.

After Shao Yu exposed the chat logs, someone quickly compiled a list, listing how much money Shao Yu had spent on Ying Siyi over the years across his four accounts. With an astronomical figure revealed, no one questioned Shao Yu’s love for Ying Siyi anymore.

The situation took a dramatic turn, which led to a wave of “grave digging” and uncovered many small details about these accounts. These details all corroborated Shao Yu’s deep affection, and many people even marveled at their fairytale romance.

However, this relationship was like sugar mixed with poison, and soon, attentive netizens began to analyze the two divorce statements in great detail.

Ying Siyi’s divorce statement is completely untenable. It subtly smears her ex-husband, implying not only that he cheated on her, but also that he is incompetent and unworthy of her.

Shao Yu was already at rock bottom, but this is a complete turnaround. Ying Siyi, on the other hand, has always maintained a perfect wife image and performed flawlessly. Now, because of the divorce announcement, she has gotten herself into a mess.

Ying Siyi called immediately.

“Honey, if you resent our divorce, then we shouldn’t have gotten divorced. Why did you incite them to curse me like this?” Ying Siyi’s voice was full of grievance on the other end of the phone.

Shao Yu said, “I’m doing this for your own good. Having a disgraced ex-husband will only make others look down on you. I’m clarifying that it’s not for my own reputation, it’s all for you. I don’t want others to think that I cheated because you weren’t good enough. I want them all to know that you deserve all the love.”

Shao Yu spoke gently, as if he were entirely thinking of Ying Siyi’s best interests.

Ying Siyi on the other end of the phone wanted to curse, but Shao Yu’s reason was valid, so in the end she could only say, “Honey, Weibo is a mess, please don’t post anything carelessly anymore.”

Shao Yu naturally agreed.

He opened his phone and saw that the debate on Weibo was still ongoing.

Although Ying Siyi suffered a loss, she still had many fans who were now shouting, “So what if Shao Yu didn’t get a divorce? He still owes so much debt and is harming his wife and children.”

Ying Siyi has many fans, but also many haters. They couldn’t find a way to attack her before, but now Shao Yu has provided them with a direction.

Immediately, some busybodies discovered the reason for Shao Yu’s debt: a series of investment failures.

All of these failed investments were, without exception, dramas starring Ying Siyi, and all featured the same Mary Sue plot where all the male characters fall in love with her. These haters immediately seized upon this as if they had obtained evidence, attempting to prove that Ying Siyi had ruined Shao Yu’s life.

However, Ying Siyi’s fans retorted, “My Siyi has wanted to change her image for a long time, but she’s been dragged into these dramas by her ex-husband.”

Not only did the fans deny it, they also turned around and accused him, which immediately angered the haters. The two groups started tearing each other apart in Shao Yu’s comment section, seemingly determined to get Shao Yu to speak out.

Shao Yu remained silent until Ying Siyi called.

“You mean, you want me to admit that I forced you to film these projects?” Shao Yu asked softly.

Ying Siyi was still afraid that Shao Yu was recording her, so she denied the statement at all, only saying, “Husband, I’m really scared. I don’t want to be scolded like this all the time.”

Ying Siyi knew that as long as she acted coquettishly, her ex-husband would immediately surrender.

But Shao Yu hesitated and said, “But you said that Weibo is chaotic and that I shouldn’t speak out casually.”

Ying Siyi froze, but still said, “Weibo may be chaotic, but if you don’t speak up now, I’ll be completely ruined. You don’t want to see me like this, right?”

Shao Yu immediately surrendered and said, “Okay, I’m willing to do anything for you.”

Ying Siyi breathed a sigh of relief and soon saw Shao Yu’s latest Weibo post. Shao Yu readily took all the blame upon herself, but added at the end: “I will repent and produce better works to give back to the public.”

Upon seeing this sentence, Ying Siyi couldn’t help but frown.

However, the battle between fans and haters on Weibo was still raging at this time. Because of Shao Yu’s remarks, her fans immediately felt vindicated, but no one noticed Shao Yu’s last sentence.

Ying Siyi quickly realized what was going on, and sure enough, a moment later, her phone rang; it was Shao Yu calling.

“Wife…” Shao Yu paused, then changed her words, “I can’t call you wife anymore, it might be a burden to you.”

Ying Siyi responded softly.

Shao Yu continued, “Siyi, the dramas produced by our previous company may have had some problems, so I thought I would create a new work to show everyone my sincerity.”

Ying Siyi remained silent, inwardly scoffing at Shao Yu’s unrealistic ideas.

Shao Yu continued, “Siyi, they’re not only criticizing those dramas, they’re not only criticizing me, they’re criticizing you too. I still want you to be the lead in the new drama, so you can finally hold your head high.”

Before Ying Siyi could agree, Shao Yu continued, “The company is short of money right now, Siyi.

Can you lend me some? Once the work makes money, I will give you a share of the profits.”

Ying Siyi didn’t believe in Shao Yu’s abilities at all. She wouldn’t even take on a lead role, so how could she be willing to lend money? But in order to maintain her public image, she still carefully reassured Shao Yu.

“Honey, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help, it’s just that I don’t have the time, and those production crews haven’t paid me. I don’t have a single penny on hand right now.”

Shao Yu had no intention of getting money from her, so he didn’t feel upset when he heard this.

Ying Siyi finally managed to calm Shao Yu down. After hanging up the phone, she looked more relaxed. She didn’t believe in Shao Yu’s abilities at all, and therefore didn’t think that Shao Yu’s new project could make money.

After hanging up the phone, Shao Yu found Zhang Ming and said, “Lend me 100,000 yuan, I need to make a movie.”

Zhang Ming and Ying Siyi had the same idea and said, “Don’t think about this anymore. I can lend it to you if you need it urgently, but not for filming.”

Shao Yu said, “Lend me 100,000 now, and I’ll pay you back 1 million in six months.”

Zhang Ming still didn’t intend to lend the money, saying, “What kind of movie can you make with 100,000 yuan? Don’t even think about it.”

“If you don’t lend it to me, I’ll have no choice but to borrow from loan sharks.”

Left with no other choice, Zhang Ming lent him the money. Zhang Ming was even prepared for the money to go down the drain, so he didn’t ask Shao Yu for an IOU.

But Shao Yu still wrote a promissory note in a proper manner, even specifying the interest: 900,000 yuan in interest over six months.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Ming immediately said, “No, no, no, why write down interest? Just return the principal to me.”

Shao Yu, however, insisted on pressing his handprint on it.

Whether now or in the original storyline, Shao Yu owes Zhang Ming a lot. Shao Yu is confident that he can make money, so he deliberately uses this method to give Zhang Ming a sum of money.

“You’ve got the 100,000 yuan. What kind of movie do you plan to make? What kind of actors can you hire with this amount of money?” Zhang Ming muttered, his words full of worry.

Shao Yu glanced at him and said, “I remember you were in a photography club in college. Would you be interested in being the photographer?”

Zhang Ming, who was forced to give up his photography hobby because he couldn’t afford expensive lenses, had a question mark slowly appear above his head.
