Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife-Chapter 610 Shoot Oneself In The Foot (2)
Three days later, Ye Mingyu was pacing back and forth in her room, trying to reach Han Yize through her phone, but she couldn't reach him. Han Yize had left her promptly last night without as much of an excuse. It shouldn't have bothered her, but she didn't like not being in control. Han Yize's purpose was to give her the shelter and protection she needed against Su Xiaofei, not to be used and left at whim by him.
'Damn it! Where could he be this time?' She tried to dial his number again, but she couldn't reach him.
Just as she was occupied with thoughts on how to deal with Bai Qingyue's enraged fans, who were now proactively defending the actress online, a new scandal erupted from nowhere, implying that she was 'caught on a date' with Han Yize.
'Shit.' Ye Mingyu cursed inwardly. She had been very careful when meeting Han Yize in public places. How could someone recognize her through her disguise? The photos showed that they were being followed not only on a single occasion, as she recognized the places she and Han Yize had visited a few weeks ago.
'We are being followed? Is it Su Xiaofei's doing or a normal paparazzi who just wants another scoop?' She wondered. Ye Mingyu wasn't sure how this would affect her future plans. She wasn't even sure if Han Yize was already aware of this.
Ye Mingyu was scheduled for a photoshoot for the recent brand endorsement she secured with Han Yize's help. However, as soon as she stepped out of the car, she immediately became the center of attention as media reporters gathered around her.
"Miss Ye, are you Mr. Han Yize's girlfriend? Where did you meet him? Are you two planning to tie the knot soon?"
"Miss Ye, what's the real relationship between you and Mr. Han? He was previously involved with other young actresses, are you aware of this?"
The questions seemed to imply something. As she looked into their eyes, Ye Mingyu was reminded of those mocking gazes that haunted her in her previous life.
Ye Mingyu squeezed her way past those reporters with the help of the bodyguards Han Yize assigned to her. The reporters continued to fire her questions, but she didn't bother to stop and give them a satisfactory answer. How could she answer them when the man involved with her was nowhere to be found? There was a saying that careless talk could lead to a disaster. She refused to hand them extra immunation to target her!
Because she didn't know what Han Yize was up to, Ye Mingyu wasn't willing to respond to the scandal. What if she said something that could be used against her later? She wasn't as dumb as the Su Xiaofei she used to know in her previous life. That woman would run her mouth without considering how it would affect her career.
Ye Mingyu gritted her teeth before slipping back her innocent mask in place. She smiled and spoke gently and politely towards the staff and the photographer, trying her best to leave a good impression on them. She couldn't afford to make a mistake when cameras were focused on her.
However, Ye Mingyu would never know that she had already fallen into Su Xiaofei's trap without knowing it. Because some witnesses emerged and proved that she and Han Yize had arrived together in some places. The reporters were then able to twist a seemingly innocent meeting between a man and a woman into something else.
It didn't help that Han Yize's previous involvement with other actresses had resurfaced and Ye Mingyu was painted as a woman who was willing to climb on someone's bed just to gain a favor.
Her involvement with the man triggered endless scolding and criticism from netizens. Despite the fact that she wasn't the only one involved in the scandal, no one dared to throw a stone at Han Yize and strangely, the ones who kept persecuting her online were all women.
"I'm sure Han Yize is her money boss. How do you think Ye Mingyu would survive in this industry if her younger sister had chosen to support Xiao Rufeng over her?"
"Compared to Xiao Rufeng's talent, Ye Mingyu only looks like her backdrop. It's easy to tell why Xiao Rufeng managed to get the lead role while Ye Mingyu ended up with the supporting role. Not that the supporting role is bad, but Ye Mingyu could have executed the role better."
Ye Mingyu came home late at night furious, seeing how the discussions against her proliferated online, effectively turning everyone's attention away from Bai Qingyue's abandoned child. A gloomy atmosphere spread around her.
Things were getting out of control now and every second passed that Han Yize hadn't returned only pushed her further on the edge. She needed to release a statement soon. She couldn't allow anyone to bully her! Please visit 𝒇𝘳ℯe𝙬e𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝒆𝗹. c૦𝑚
She forced herself to suppress her anger. Once Han Yize arrived, she knew that she was unable to antagonize him in any way. Despite being stupid when it comes to women, that man was dangerous enough to kill anyone who opposed him using underhanded methods. Who knows if he will use the cold poison on her if she gets on his bad side.
Han Yize finally arrived past midnight. Ye Mingyu rushed downstairs to see him, only to notice that the man looked distraught. He didn't look like his usual self.
"Did something happen? Why the long face, dear?" She asked sweetly, touching his arm only to be peeled away by Han Yize.
"I'm tired. Can we talk about this in the morning?" He said, brushing her off.
Ye Mingyu clenched her fist and forced herself to smile. She cannot afford to offend her money boss right now.
"Of course. Just let me know if I can help you with anything. By the way, the news about us being together has reached the media, should I release a statement about it?"
