In the countrysideâs shooting site, Zhou Jianchen hung up the phone and his face nevertheless darkened. He contacted her immediately once he knew about the exposure, fearing that she would think too much, yet just now, she almost backed away.
Sister Shaoâs call came through again.
The martial arts director was setting up the scene again. Watching him, Zhou Jianchen could only answer the phone.
âHow to deal with it? The critical PR response is within three hours. Do you guys want to go public or what?â Sister Shao asked, âThe online comments are not very good now. Obviously someone is behind the scene and I already have people controlling it but everything must be dealt with as soon as possible!â
It canât be delayed any longer. If it continues, the negative impact on him will be too big.
She called as soon as it happened and she likewise didnât want them to go public that soon, but since it has been exposed now, itâs just a matter of facing it head-on.
âGo public!â Zhou Jianchen replied without even thinking about it, âCertainly go public!â
Itâs okay if it wasnât exposed before, but since it has been made known, can he still conceal it?
When did he, Zhou Jianchen, become so cowardly for loving someone.
Hanging up the phone, he still thought about Liang Yinâs reaction just now.
Zhou Jianchen, how about we ⦠how about we what? Forget about it?
Zhou Jianchenâs eyes became profound again. He then threw aside the hat in his hand and said to Ah Xian, âTell Director Zhang, just say I wonât be shooting this afternoon and let him make another arrangement.â With that, he unbuttoned the collarâs button and headed out.
He simply worried about her being alone there!
The car sped all the way. Zhou Jianchen looked at Weibo, on it âZhou Jianchenâs involvement as the third partyâ was already on hot search.
**********
On the set, Liang Yin ultimately failed to get into the mode properly. Knowing what had happened, Chen Huaâen just asked her to redo several non-frontal shots and then let her get off work early.
In the dressing room, Liang Yin couldnât help but look through Weibo while removing her makeup.
Weibo was full of their news at this moment. The comments were overwhelming and the circumstances were dire.
â Could Brother Chen really get involved as the third party?
â Itâs truly hard to say ah! Brother Chen really likes Film Empress Liang. And also, wasnât it too much of a coincidence that Brother Chen and Film Empress Liang appeared together at the airport at the very beginning?
â WTF! To tell the truth this is in fact too dubious ah!
â Then, Zhou Jianchen and Liang Yin have been together for a long time ah?
â Itâs hard to say. Itâs possible that Film Empress Liang only got together with Brother Chen after saddened by Qiao Shanâs wrecking of her marriage, but itâs also possible that the two of them have been secretly in contact all these years.
â Appalled to tears! Brother Chen is not such a person!
â But he indeed likes Film Empress Liang Yin very much ah. You see, Brother Chen hasnât make a movie for so long and when Film Empress Liang accepted [Winter], so did he; he has never posted any actressesâ photos on Weibo, but he uploaded a photo with Film Empress Liang 10 years ago and now there is a character photo of Film Empress Liang again ⦠Brother Chen said he only admired Film Empress Liang, do you guys believe it?
â Iâm really going to cry!
â If Brother Chen really got involved as the third party, I will turn anti-fan, regardless if it was Qiao Shan or anyone else, itâs unacceptable to mess up other peopleâs marriage!
â â¦..
StarLight Mediaâs PR is in-action now, but Zhou Jianchen is the top web traffic and the exposure of a romantic affair has attracted the highest attention. Whatâs more, many groups are active now. Although they want to control the activities, they, after all, canât cover every aspect.
Standing at the peak of interest, how many people want a piece of Zhou Jianchen.
And everything is too worthy of deliberation, so everyone seems to firmly believe that Zhou Jianchen is precisely the third party!
Liang Yin could no longer browse it, it was too distressful. Although Zhou Jianchen has been obstinate for so many years, he never has any major stains, but now he is subjected to such a onslaught.

Xiao Tian had driven the car away while Liang Yin was in the car, wanting to clarify, but she didnât know how to explain.
They arrived at the hotel soon after.
Liang Yin just got out of the car, and received a call from Chen Huaâen.
âYinyin, have you gone back to the hotel? Donât go back yet, there are full of reporters outside the hotel. â Chen Huaâen said on the phone. The hotel manager had called to notify him just now.
But before Liang Yin could react, she was already surrounded by a frantic group of people.
âMiss Liang, is the matter about you and Zhou Jianchen true?â
âDid you really have an extramarital affair with Zhou Jianchen?â
âIs Zhou Jianchen really the third party involved?â
âWhen did you start the relationship with Brother Chen?â
âMiss Liang, can you tell us specifically the reason for your divorce with Mr. Zhong Mingzhen?â
âMiss Liang ⦠â
âMiss Liang ⦠â

When the news reporters nearby heard the news, they had been dispatched. How spectacular was the exposure of Zhou Jianchen and Film Empress Liangâs secret love affair, they were dying to get first-hand information. They couldnât find Zhou Jianchen, but they knew which hotel Film Empress stayed in previously.
The hotel manager had sent security guards to hold them back and Xiao Tian was also trying her best to protect Liang Yin. But with dozens of reporters surrounding them, their efficacy was just too paltry.
Liang Yin was constantly pushed and shoved, and her ears were full of noisiness.
Just at that moment, an acute braking sound came from the side.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Zhou Jianchen getting out of the car.
Catching sight of him, Liang Yinâs heart rose immediately. The reporters stood still for a moment before rushing towards him soon after that.
âBrother Chen! Is it true about you and Film Empress Liang?â
âBrother Chen, are you really involved in Film Empress Liangâs marriage?â
âBrother Chen, do you have anything to say about this?â
âBrother Chen! Brother Chen! Say something!â
âBrother Chen!â
â â¦.. â
Everyone was asking frantically again, but Zhou Jianchen didnât even look at anyone. He just pushed through the crowd and walked to Liang Yinâs side, âCome with me.â Saying that, he dragged her hand and left in front of everyone.
There were inquiries and flash lights all around, but he was already undaunted.
There was no response, which was already the best answer.
Liang Yinâs hand was held tightly and her eyes were a little red, but in the end she just followed him away.
The car door was quickly pulled shut and the car soon started up again. Zhou Jianchenâs imposing manner was piercingly cold, hence no one dared to pursue after them.
Photos were however being taken nonstop.
And within five minutes, the photos of Zhou Jianchen leaving while pulling Liang Yinâs hand in public has been circulated all over the internet.
In the crowd, he was holding Liang Yinâs hand tightly with a composed face, yet with no regrets.
