Chapter 2629: I have to protect you.
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On Weibo, Yun Shishi’s scandal was rapidly gaining momentum. The cyberspace was full of criticisms about her for being a third party, and many held the malicious intention of using public opinion to drive her out of the entertainment industry.
[Shameless vixen, hurry up and get out of showbiz; don’t make a fool of yourself in front of us!]
[Boycott all brands endorsed by her and any shows, including ‘Lethal Beauty’, featuring her—having such a lowly woman in the cast only spells trouble!]
[That’s right! I don’t know what the famous directors like Lin Fengtian and Gu Xiaoyang are thinking when they hire a woman like her to act in their shows. Aren’t they afraid of tarnishing their work?]
[It’s disgusting! I retched for a whole night after knowing her affair. My relationship was ruined by a third party before, so I truly detest the third parties and mistresses.]
[There are scourges like her among women, and that’s how so many innocent girls have had their hearts broken!]
…
The more Youyou read the comments, the angrier he became.
Actually, he would be immensely happy for his mother to bid farewell to showbiz, but she should not depart because she was driven out of it!
More than that, he would not allow anyone to tarnish his mother’s reputation even one bit.
The moment he had this thought, he immediately contacted his agent and ordered him to investigate Gao Nan. Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Hanlin reported every detail about the man to him.
“His uncle is Wang Chuande?”
That old man was the boss of Wanke Real Estate.
Although the boy had not had dealings with the man before, he knew him to be a powerful person, but how could that business magnate be related to such a disgusting man like Gao Nan?
“Director Yun, did that playboy do something to offend you?”
“Hmph! He did more than just offended me.” Youyou stated expressionlessly. “He’s completely pissed me off! Who is Wang Chuande? I won’t let Gao Nan go scot-free even if I offend his uncle! Hanlin, you send a car to pick me up right now.”
“Roger, boss.”
After hanging up the phone, the younger boy prepared to go out; his older brother swiftly tailed him while asking, “Where are you going?”
“There’s something I must do. Don’t tag along.”
“No way!” Little Yichen turned around and faced his twin with a dampened look. “Are you planning to handle this alone again as you leave me home? Why couldn’t I go?”
“Mu Yichen, I’m warning you: Once I get angry, I’m not my usual self. Don’t follow me, for there are some things you can’t get involved in.”
“Why couldn’t I?!” He challenged in agitation. “You’re my brother. What is it that you can dabble in which I can’t? You’re gonna look for that Gao Nan, aren’t you? I have to go with you; I must protect you!”
“I don’t need your protection.”
He was firm in his decision. “Yes, you need me because I’m your older brother!”
The younger boy gazed at him with incomparable bewilderment, then suddenly hooked his lips into a smile. “Okay, I get it. If you’re not afraid of being led astray by me, you come with me.”
“Hmph! Are you kidding me? My brother isn’t a baddie!”
He laughed and held his younger sibling’s hand in his. The little ones then proceeded to hook their arms across each other’s shoulders as they walked side by side out of the study, only to see their father seated elegantly on the sofa in the living room with his legs crossed. The man looked strong and determined.
They did not know when he returned home or how long he had been sitting there.
