“I called you because I was hoping you’d know. I am sure Shi Wei has nothing to do with this, although I do want her to screw up soon. Mr. Zhou, please think harder. Who else wants to harm Mr. Fu?” Su Su didn’t want to help Shi Wei. All she wanted was to flatter Zhou Zheng and Fu Chengyan.
Su Su knew Shi Wei was nothing but a pawn while Fu Chengyan was the master of this little game of chess. If she managed to flatter Fu Chengyan, her revenge would be a success.
Zhou Zheng snorted internally. Su Su is indeed Shi Wei’s former best friend. They are birds of a feather. Compared to Anna, Su Su has little to no conscience. At least Anna repented after finding out the truth. Su Su didn’t even regret her actions.
Anna chose to leave, but Su Su chose to take revenge.
“Ms. Su, don’t worry. Even if we find out that Shi Wei is behind this, we will focus on the issue itself. You won’t be implicated.”
“That’s great. I can relax after hearing your words. Mr. Zhou, what do you want me to do?”
“Nothing. Just observe in silence. I’ll find out who’s behind this. And make sure Shi Wei stops inviting trouble for now. Where is she?”
“She went on a trip with her husband, but she will fly back today,” Su Su told Zhou Zheng everything. The man listened and ordered Su Su to console Shi Wei so the disgraced celebrity wouldn’t stir up more trouble for the paparazzi to hold against her.
But it wasn’t an effortless task. Shi Wei’s flight schedule was leaked, so she got surrounded at the entrance by reporters and paparazzi once she got off the plane.
Because Shi Wei had boarded the flight alone, she did not have her assistant or bodyguard by her side. The reporters immediately spotted her and swarmed around her. They shoved their microphones in her face and focused their cameras on her.
“Ms. Shi, what is your explanation regarding the scandal?”
“Ms. Shi, are you really in a relationship with Shengyuan’s CEO, Fu Chengyan?”
“Rumor has it that Xinhuang—which is under Shengyuan Group—signed you on when you were involved in a scandal back then. What do you have to say about this?”
“Shengyuan’s CEO, Fu Chengyan, spent big bucks on you. He also allowed you to get St. Dee’s endorsement deal in Z Nation. What are your thoughts on this?”
“Ms. Shi, please answer our questions.”
“Ms. Shi, you have just married Fucheng’s Fu Xicheng. Everyone in Jiang City knows about this. Fu Xicheng is supposedly a distant relative of Fu Chengyan. What—”
“Get lost! Leave me alone!”
The reporters bombarded Shi Wei with sharp questions, causing her to lose control.
All she could hear was a buzzing sound in her ears. She wanted to push these people away so they would get lost. But the crowd trapped her, so there was no way to escape.
Someone in the crowd bumped into a man who was holding a camera. Losing his footing, the man hurtled in Shi Wei’s direction.
“Ah!”
Shi Wei’s high-pitched scream broke through the clamor. It was a chaotic scene as everyone squeezed forward to interview Shi Wei.
Shi Wei was knocked to the ground by the paparazzo. He had extended his arm to break his fall, but his hand coincidentally landed on Shi Wei’s chest.
Shi Wei immediately flushed a bright red. She was in a disheveled state. The woman started kicking and hitting the paparazzo on top of her. “Move! Get lost!”
It was rare to see a celebrity in this state, so the reporters started gossiping and taking photos of Shi Wei.
Even if they didn’t manage to interview her, news about Shi Wei being molested at the airport before she escaped in embarrassment was shocking enough.
After the paparazzi were satisfied with the photos taken, they left promptly with no regard for the miserable celebrity. Shi Wei was still lying floor, her eyes wide and blank.
The passersby were pointing and talking. “Is she crazy? Why is she lying on the ground?”
“Eh, she seems familiar.”
