BHBF Chapter 96.2

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 5) Chapter 96.2: The Son Is The Villian (17)

Shao Yu said, “I think everyone in the world probably loves them more than you do.”

Although the two children are Ying Siyi’s biological children, she has never had any affection for them, and in many ways she treats them worse than strangers.

When Ying Siyi was exposed, she didn’t feel ashamed at all. Instead, she said, “I know I didn’t do well before, but I will change in the future.”

“If you don’t love your own child, you should save that love for other people’s children,” Shao Yu said.

Ying Siyi pleaded, “Even if I made a mistake, you should give me a chance to redeem myself.”

She hated Zheng Minglang to the core. Zheng Minglang had a chaotic private life and a perverted personality, which was why he did such a thing.

Shao Yu said, “I can forgive you, but I don’t want you to have a bad influence on the two children. If you really love the children, then don’t contact them again.”

Ying Siyi had heard too many things these past few days, all of which were insults, accusations, and curses. She didn’t dare log into her Weibo account anymore, and she didn’t dare look at the private messages that were almost overflowing in the background. She really wanted to make a comeback.

“If you give me a chance, I can still be that respectable female celebrity, and the children can still be their celebrity offspring. You don’t want them to be criticized because of me, right?” Ying Siyi said.

Shao Yu said, “You’ve used the children many times already. They’re not tools; they can’t be used by you forever.”

Shao Yu’s words were tantamount to shattering Ying Siyi’s last shred of hope.

Seeing Shao Yu’s resolute attitude, Ying Siyi stopped pretending to be pitiful and retorted, “You once said you would love me forever.”

Shao Yu said helplessly, “You’ve said that before, but you still want a divorce, don’t you?”

Ying Siyi was exposed like this, but she felt no shame. Instead, she said, “You promised, so you have to keep your word.”

Shao Yu said, “After what happened to you, no one will hire you to act anymore.”

Without acting, there is no exposure; without exposure, one cannot become a big star. However, Ying Siyi wanted to maintain her previous high standard of living, saying, “If I can’t act, then give me ten million every month.”Shao Yu knew this person wasn’t so easy to deal with, but he didn’t expect her to be so outrageous. So he said, “If you think there’s a problem with the divorce, then go ahead and file a lawsuit.”

Ying Siyi cursed the man in her heart for being heartless. Seeing that Shao Yu refused to give her money, and thinking that Shao Yu was now active in the public eye and obviously wanted to become a star herself, she said, “If you don’t give me money, I will tell you your secret.”

Shao Yu was not surprised at all upon hearing this.

“I have no idea what other secrets I might have.”

Ying Siyi seemed confident of victory, saying, “If this gets out, you will be completely ruined.”

After much deliberation, Shao Yu could only think of one thing. For a moment, he didn’t know whether to say that Ying Siyi was quick-witted or both stupid and ruthless.

“Go ahead and explode if you want,” Shao Yu said.

Ying Siyi was taken aback when she heard this on the other end of the phone. She just wanted to live a good life, but even after saying all this, Shao Yu still wouldn’t budge, which made her panic.

“Aren’t you afraid that you’ve worked so hard to gain fame and status, and then lose it all because of this? Aren’t you afraid of being blacklisted, or of your two children being criticized because of you? Don’t you think about me, or your children?” Ying Siyi advised.

Shao Yu couldn’t help but laugh and said, “It doesn’t seem like you’re threatening me now, it’s more like I’m threatening you.”

Ying Siyi kept saying she was going to reveal a big secret, but now it seems like she’s the one who’s more threatened.

“Don’t you care about your child that much? You even brought people to keep an eye on him during the recording of the show, afraid that he would get hurt in the slightest. Aren’t you afraid that he will be scolded now?”

Shao Yu said, “I’m not afraid.”

“Can’t you think about the children?” Ying Siyi asked.

Shao Yu said, “I will think about them.”

Shao Yu talked for a long time but refused to pay. Ying Siyi had no choice but to lower her demands, reducing the amount from ten million to one million. When it came down to one million, she said, “I can’t go any lower. You have money, but you owe me alimony.”

“If you want alimony, then file a lawsuit,” Shao Yu said firmly.

Ying Siyi felt she couldn’t let Shao Yu lead her by the nose, so she said, “Since you’re not afraid, then just wait and see.”

Shao Yu didn’t just sit idly by. After hanging up the phone, he instructed his studio to release a message.

He is currently filming a female-themed TV series called “Locking Up the Autumn”. After deducting all costs, all proceeds will be donated to establish a special women’s protection foundation. In addition, Shao Yu will donate 10 million yuan to the foundation for every project he films in the future.

This news left everyone speechless, feeling that even doing charity seemed too sudden.

Shao Yu quickly edited a long Weibo post.

He knew that the best way to resolve a threat was to confront it directly.

In his long post, Shao Yu recounted the whole story in a very ordinary tone, even taking all the blame upon himself, and said that he did so many good deeds to atone for his sins, hoping that the public would not blame the two children for his mistakes.

It was clearly Shao Yu and Ying Siyi who found a surrogate to have the child, but Shao Yu never mentioned Ying Siyi, only himself, and deeply reflected on his mistakes.

Even if he didn’t mention it, everyone could see clearly that Ying Siyi was a female celebrity, and it was obvious who was in charge of having the child.

The incident quickly became a trending topic on social media. Shao Yu’s actions were seen as a way of buying peace with money, but while many people forgave him, many others opposed him.

Ying Siyi, who was at home with her phone, never expected that Shao Yu would do something like this to avoid giving her money. He would rather donate the money than let her gain a single penny.

Even now, Shao Yu himself hasn’t gained much benefit.

Is it really worth it to kill a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own? Ying Siyi was filled with doubts.

Before Ying Siyi could figure things out, before she could ask Shao Yu for alimony, Shao Yu had already sent her a lawyer’s letter.

Shao Yu sued her, demanding that she repay the debts. During the divorce, Shao Yu took on all the debts, a large part of which were joint debts of the couple. Now that Ying Siyi is making trouble, Shao Yu will first drag her down with him.

Shao Yu is not short of money, but Ying Siyi is different. She was already facing a huge compensation claim, and now Shao Yu has come up with another one. She immediately became overwhelmed and habitually wanted to call her agent, but she always remembered that she had already fired her agent just as she was about to make the call.

Ying Siyi didn’t care about anything else and hurriedly exposed the matter online.

Shao Yu went even further, saying he wouldn’t take a single penny of the money he received and would give it all away in a Weibo lottery. Clearly, what he wanted wasn’t money, but rather to vent his anger.

Everyone had witnessed how much Shao Yu used to dote on his wife. Even when Shao Yu was down on his luck, he didn’t drag his wife down with him but took the burden alone.

Now that he’s enjoying immense success, it’s quite strange that he’s started relentlessly pursuing his wife.

Soon, people dug up the whole story and believed that Shao Yu’s change of heart at this time was not only because Ying Siyi had a chaotic private life and might have cheated on him during their marriage, but also because Ying Siyi threatened their two children.

The two children were conceived through surrogacy. Such a secretive matter is unlikely to be known by many people other than the children’s biological parents. It’s probably because Ying Siyi threatened Shao Yu that Shao Yu turned his back on her.

Netizens pieced together a dramatic scenario from clues, which surprisingly matched the facts by about 80%. The long Weibo post they imagined was even accidentally liked by Zhang Ming.

With Zhang Ming’s stamp, the matter is almost certain.

Shao Yu has always been very protective of his two children, and this large donation is clearly for their sake. In contrast, it is evident from the program and interviews that Ying Siyi is someone who doesn’t care much about her children.

Meanwhile, the Hunan TV program team secretly released some behind-the-scenes footage from the filming of the parent-child program. These videos further solidified the claim that Ying Siyi did not love children.

Forcing children to fake eat, forcing children to fake cry, pretending to do someone else’s bath, forcing children to apologize even when they are innocent—these are all things that would make any normal person clench their fists.

Because Ying Siyi was so utterly despicable, it seemed all the more natural for her to threaten Shao Yu with the child’s parentage.

Ying Siyi was originally only proven to have a chaotic private life, but now that she has failed to threaten Shao Yu, she has instead added another piece of evidence against herself: surrogacy.

Shao Yu’s commitment to charity was not just empty talk; he quickly established a women’s protection foundation called “Yitian.” The foundation’s first project was to travel to various remote and impoverished areas to raise funds for girls’ schools.

These schools all waive tuition and fees and only admit female students.

Shao Yu understood very well that the more impoverished and backward a place was, the more serious the preference for sons over daughters became. It was common for families in underdeveloped areas to support the education of a boy, but almost never to support a girl. The girls’ school he founded was simply to provide girls with an opportunity.

The charity organization founded by Shao Yu has not yet accepted any social donations. All the money spent is donated by Shao Yu herself. Even so, Shao Yu still had very detailed accounts made public.

Every single item in the accounts is meticulously recorded, and the information is publicly displayed on the foundation’s homepage—open and aboveboard, and never hidden away in some obscure corner.

Regardless of whether Shao Yu will continue to invest money in the future, the money he spent this time was real money. Even if some people still had things to say to Shao Yu, they couldn’t help but lower their voices when they saw the money Shao Yu spent.

Shao Yu was throwing money around, so even though he was in the middle of the storm, he didn’t suffer much damage. Even his two children were only gossiped about a few times before people lamented that they had a mother like Ying Siyi.
