Song Chu’s mistress is named Huo Ruoci, who was the female lead in the drama where the original host worked. It’s been almost a year since then, so it seems that Song Chu is quite loyal. Moreover, Song Chu has entrusted the management of the company to Huo Ruoci, indicating that he must have strong feelings for her.
Recalling the appearance of Song Chu and Huo Ruoci, Shen Ye couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly.
Soon, Song Chu entered with Huo Ruoci. He approached Shen Ye and pleaded in a low voice, “Master Shen, please spare us this time. I will definitely reform the company and never resort to unethical practices again! As for Chen Zi, I will make Luo Zifan publicly apologize to her on social media and prepare a generous gift for her.”
He displayed a particularly humble attitude, partly out of fear for Shen Ye and partly out of consideration for Ye Ze. It’s widely known in the industry that Shen Ye and the Ye family’s head are married, making them an invincible couple.
Shen Ye looked at him indifferently. “Can you make decisions regarding the company? Can you guarantee that there won’t be any more incidents of using Taoists to manipulate fans?”
Song Chu hesitated for a moment and then immediately patted his chest. “Of course!”
Shen Ye smiled coldly and glanced at Huo Ruoci. “Did you ask for her opinion?”
Song Chu froze in place.
Although the company was his, and he had simply entrusted its management to Huo Ruoci, he believed he had the right to handle the company’s affairs. Therefore, he didn’t quite understand Shen Ye’s meaning.
Huo Ruoci’s face changed slightly, and she forced a smile. “Master Shen, you misunderstood. Although I manage the company, I only hold a small portion of the shares. The one who truly makes decisions is President Song.”
“Is that so?” Shen Ye looked at Song Chu. “Go back and thoroughly examine the company’s accounts.”
AD
Song Chu, not being too foolish, immediately understood Shen Ye’s intention.
He stiffened, slowly turning to look at Huo Ruoci.
Huo Ruoci suddenly gazed at Song Chu with teary eyes and acted coquettishly, saying, “President Song, I don’t understand Master Shen’s intentions… Over the past year, I have focused on the company. My time and energy have been devoted to managing the company, and I’ve even stopped participating in entertainment industry activities… You know this, right?”
Song Chu had feelings for Huo Ruoci; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so devoted and even considered divorcing his original wife to marry Huo Ruoci.
After hearing Huo Ruoci’s words and seeing her tearful appearance, his heart immediately softened. “I believe you!”
Shen Ye looked at Song Chu speechlessly.
This guy was fortunate that the Song family was powerful. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have been in line to inherit anything.
“I can spare you,” Shen Ye said to Song Chu, “but tomorrow, I will visit your company. Make sure you invite the Taoists you hired, and I want to witness your company’s reformation with my own eyes.”
AD
Song Chu was overjoyed and repeatedly said, “No problem! I’ll be waiting for you at the company tomorrow!”
He didn’t notice Huo Ruoci’s stiffening face, nor did he perceive the sarcasm in Shen Ye’s eyes.
Afterward, Song Chu left with Huo Ruoci.
Huo Ruoci seemed to have something she wanted to say to Shen Ye but felt constrained by his cold attitude. In addition, considering Shen Ye’s and Ye Ze’s formidable presence, she didn’t dare to act out of line and could only follow Song Chu in frustration.
While Shen Ye and Song Chu were talking earlier, Xu Sisi had been listening on the side. As soon as they left, she immediately asked, “Does Huo Ruoci have some issues?”
Shen Ye nodded. “Huo Ruoci arranged everything with the Taoists in Song Chu’s company. Song Chu is clueless and still doesn’t understand what Huo Ruoci and the Taoists have done. He even thinks I’m targeting him because of Chen Zi.”
Xu Sisi said, “…He is the heir of the Song family, yet he’s so clueless?”
Shen Ye sneered. “Not every heir is intelligent.” He paused, then suddenly hugged Ye Ze’s arm and said, “And not every intelligent person is as formidable as my husband!”
Ye Ze chuckled softly.
Xu Sisi thought to herself that she admired Shen Ye and Ye Ze’s ability to display affection at every opportunity.
AD
Shen Ye said, “I won’t let Song Chu’s company off the hook this time. But to repay his favor for helping me out in the past, I will help him get rid of Huo Ruoci.”
Curiosity piqued, Xu Sisi asked, “Did Huo Ruoci embezzle funds from Song Chu’s company?”
“Yes,” Shen Ye nodded, a cold smile on his face. “She did more than embezzle money… Her sins are much greater than that!”
Xu Sisi asked inquisitively, “What else did she do?”
Shen Ye teased, “Join me tomorrow when I visit Song Chu’s company, and you’ll find out then.”
“Alright,” Xu Sisi agreed.
After pausing for a moment, she suddenly recalled a rumor circulating in the industry. It was said that Huo Ruoci had given birth to a son with Song Chu, which led to conflicts between Song Chu and his original wife.
The original wife’s family was wealthy and influential, so upon learning about Song Chu’s affair, they immediately agreed to a divorce and prepared to divide the family’s assets…
Could it be that Huo Ruoci transferred the company’s assets to prevent Song Chu’s original wife from taking them?
As Xu Sisi speculated, the internet exploded due to a Weibo post by Luo Zifan.
It all started when Shen Ye called Luo Zifan.
At that time, Shen Ye didn’t force Luo Zifan to publicly explain the reason behind the CP rumors or demand that he apologize to Chen Zi. So, Luo Zifan held onto a glimmer of hope, thinking that he could privately apologize to Chen Zi and be done with it.
But today, when Song Chu came to plead with Shen Ye and saw that Shen Ye was willing to spare him, Song Chu was deeply moved. He wanted to impress Shen Ye even more, so as soon as he left Rongyuan, he called Luo Zifan and asked him to apologize to Chen Zi publicly on Weibo and explain the reason behind the CP rumors.
Luo Zifan, of course, was not willing, but as the other was the CEO of the company, he had no choice but to comply with the request.
As soon as he posted the Weibo, his girlfriend’s fans had the strongest reaction. They didn’t believe that he would voluntarily create CP rumors. Within minutes, tens of thousands of comments flooded the post:
AD
[“Little Brother Luozi, blink twice if you’ve been kidnapped.”]
[“Song Chu, get out! How dare you make my brother suffer like this? How dare you make him admit to a false accusation!”]
[“My poor brother, he’s not only being sucked dry by an older woman but also being exploited by the company!”]
“#World’sMostMiserableLuozi#”
Luo Zifan was relieved to see that his fans stood by his side, but he also saw them criticizing Song Chu. He couldn’t help but feel a bit resentful towards Song Chu. If it weren’t for Song Chu’s request for him to post on Weibo, he wouldn’t have been embarrassed online.
Over the years, Chen Zi had starred in several TV dramas and had her own large fan base. When she saw Luo Zifan’s fans calling her an older woman, her fans couldn’t tolerate it and directly engaged in arguments with Luo Zifan’s fans.
Next came the time for netizens to enjoy the drama.
In fact, people also suspected that Luo Zifan was being threatened; otherwise, why would an artist personally come forward to apologize?
In the entertainment industry, there are numerous disputes, and the competition among artists is fierce. The methods of throwing dirt at each other are endless, but everyone knows not to bring it out into the open.
Even if conflicts arise, the artist’s team or agency will handle it, and it’s absolutely impossible for the artist to personally apologize.
Especially for stars like Luo Zifan, who rely on their fan base, they need to be careful about such matters because their fans would never accept an artist with a stain on their reputation.
In the fans’ eyes, their idols are pure and perfect, even if there are any negative rumors, it’s the company’s fault.
That’s also why Luo Zifan’s fans exploded; they couldn’t accept Luo Zifan apologizing to that older woman, Chen Zi.
The internet was in an uproar, but Shen Ye remained calm.
His focus was on Song Chu. Whether Song Chu did it for face or out of genuine repentance, the fact that he made Luo Zifan publicly apologize to Chen Zi showed his attitude, and Shen Ye was quite satisfied with that.
The next day, Shen Ye, along with Xu Sisi and Xu Ce, went to Song Chu’s company.
Originally, Shen Ye wanted to bring his second apprentice as well, but Mr. Wang hadn’t seen his family for a long time and wanted to stay home with his parents, so Shen Ye didn’t force him to come.
Song Chu and Huo Ruoci had been waiting for Shen Ye in the office. When Shen Ye entered, Song Chu immediately approached him with a mournful face and said, “I’m sorry, Master Shen, the Taoist priest ran away…”
Shen Ye wasn’t surprised and his gaze fell on Huo Ruoci. He said, “You’re quite a character for not running away with the Taoist priest.”
Huo Ruoci clenched her lips tightly and said with a grievance, “Master Shen, do you… do you have a bias against me?”
Shen Ye chuckled, amused by her question. “Everyone knows that I can tell fortunes. Your true nature, I’m well aware of it.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Ruoci burst into tears and threw herself into Song Chu’s arms, crying out, “President Song, please believe me. I haven’t done anything…”
Song Chu felt a pang of sympathy and patted her back. He looked at Shen Ye and said, “Master Shen, is there perhaps a misunderstanding in all of this?”
Shen Ye glanced at him and called him an idiot.
Song Chu: “…”
Shen Ye gave him a disdainful and pitiful look. “Huo Ruoci colluded with the Taoist priest to manipulate your company and control the obsessive fans. They used the fans to commit crimes, which is a violation of the law. But Huo Ruoci’s crimes go beyond that. She embezzled your company’s money, and she even cuckolded you. Did you really have no idea?”
Song Chu: “…”
He couldn’t believe what he was hearing…
“W-…Cuckold?” Song Chu’s tone was both anxious and bewildered. “I don’t quite understand what you mean…”
Shen Ye interrupted him. “Huo Ruoci’s son is not yours. He’s the child of her and the Taoist priest. The two of them planned to deceive you out of your entire family fortune after you inherited the Song family, and then discard you.”
Song Chu: “…”
He looked at Huo Ruoci in disbelief.
Huo Ruoci’s face turned pale, and she didn’t dare to meet his gaze.
With this reaction, Song Chu had no more doubts.
He staggered backward and would have fallen if it weren’t for Xu Ce’s quick reflexes, who caught him.
Shen Ye performed a ritual and placed a talisman on Song Chu to keep him conscious.
“Enough, the deed has already been done. Let’s first resolve the issues with your company,” Shen Ye said, showing little sympathy for Song Chu.
Song Chu was a bit foolish and straightforward, but that wasn’t a reason for him to betray his original partner or blindly trust Huo Ruoci.
In the end, everything was Song Chu’s own doing.
Shen Ye continued, “I came here today mainly to help you recover the lost account books. Huo Ruoci took them and made many false records. If I don’t help you find them, you would have never discovered her wrongdoing in your entire life.”
Song Chu remained stunned, staring blankly at Shen Ye, unable to utter a word.
“I’ve already reported it to the police. Huo Ruoci won’t be able to escape,” Shen Ye glanced at him and said, “As for you, you better pull yourself together, cooperate with the police, and quickly clear yourself of suspicion. Otherwise, you’ll end up going in as well.”
Song Chu still had a shocked expression on his face and remained silent.
It was Huo Ruoci who suddenly burst into loud sobs, saying, “Master Shen, I was forced to…”
