News in the entertainment industry that attracts widespread attention usually revolves around relationships — dating, getting married, pregnancy, affairs, breaking up, divorce, and so on.

People are truly emotional creatures; their curiosity about gossip rises and falls with the emotional content of the events.

Because Wan Pengfei demanded Zou Kai and Jiang Jinghan apologize so forcefully, and due to Zou Kai and Jiang Jinghan’s past behavior, everyone basically believed what Wan Pengfei said.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yun went to the restaurant for breakfast and ran into a visibly sleep-deprived Zeng Yeng.

Zeng Yeng had very serious dark circles under her eyes.

"Sister Yeng."

Zhou Yun was somewhat surprised to see her in this condition and asked, "Did you not rest well yesterday?"

Zeng Yeng sighed and said, "How could I sleep well? All night I was dealing with Liu Xiaoyun’s issues. Her boyfriend actually went online to fight for her justice."

Zhou Yun: "I saw that Weibo post."

"Sigh, I was busy until three in the morning yesterday," Zeng Yeng said. "Finally managed to negotiate conditions with Liu Xiaoyun and her boyfriend."

Zhou Yun was surprised upon hearing the word "conditions" and asked, "What conditions?"

"Her boyfriend demanded either Zou Kai and Jiang Jinghan publicly apologize to Liu Xiaoyun, or pay compensation to her," Zeng Yeng said.

Zhou Yun: "Did Zou Kai and Jiang Jinghan admit to defaming Liu Xiaoyun?"

Zeng Yeng looked at Zhou Yun with some confusion and asked, "How did you know Zou Kai and Jiang Jinghan defamed Liu Xiaoyun?"

"I accidentally overheard their conversation before. They admitted it themselves," Zhou Yun said.

"Oh, so that’s how it is," Zeng Yeng said helplessly. "Liu Xiaoyun’s boyfriend somehow got footage from a camera that recorded the scene at the time. It clearly showed that Liu Xiaoyun didn’t intentionally touch Zou Kai’s chest, and strictly speaking, didn’t actually touch it at all."

Zhou Yun was astonished.

"Really?"

"Initially, Jiang Jinghan staunchly refused to admit anything. She kept insisting she was not wrong, and that Liu Xiaoyun had feelings for Zou Kai. Wan Pengfei cursed at the video, presented it, and said if Zou Kai and Jiang Jinghan didn’t provide a satisfactory explanation, he would use the video to report them. Only then did they panic."

"Celebrities now fear the most concrete evidence proving they have moral issues. Once there’s substantial proof, their careers in entertainment are sure to be impacted," Zeng Yeng sighed. "We don’t want Zou Kai to have any trouble either. If anything happens to him, all the scenes shot will be in vain."

Hearing this, Zhou Yun also felt a bit helpless.

That’s the most awkward situation for them.

Because of others’ issues, a lot of one’s efforts can go down the drain.

Zeng Yeng said, "We really didn’t expect Liu Xiaoyun and her boyfriend to be so formidable. They struck the crucial point."

"If the production team had taken this matter seriously from the start and handled it properly, perhaps it wouldn’t have escalated to trending status,"

Zhou Yun said.

Actually, she had long wanted to say this.

If at the very first moment Jiang Jinghan defamed Liu Xiaoyun, the production team had stood up to investigate the matter and give Liu Xiaoyun justice, she wouldn’t have had to suffer this indignity.

However, because Zou Kai was an actor and Jiang Jinghan was Zou Kai’s wife, while Liu Xiaoyun was just a small makeup artist, the production team chose to downplay the matter.

According to Zhou Yun, this had already planted the seeds for future trouble.

It ended in a very official manner.

Wan Pengfei deleted his Weibo post and deactivated his Weibo account.

The production team’s official account published a statement claiming it was all a misunderstanding between the parties, which had now been resolved, and apologized for the negative impact caused.

Zou Kai and Jiang Jinghan never spoke out on social media.

Zhou Yun saw Zou Kai on the set but didn’t see Jiang Jinghan.

She greeted Zou Kai.

Zou Kai responded to her greeting with a smile.

He seemed as if nothing had ever happened.

Zhou Yun asked, "Where’s Jinghan?"

"Her?" Only at this point did his face show a trace of disgust, and he said, "She’s staying at the hotel."

Zhou Yun: "Why didn’t she come to the set to accompany you today?"

Zou Kai looked at Zhou Yun strangely and asked, "You mean you don’t know?"
