Chapter 71 -71: Cooperate a Bit
For Tang Yu, stardom was an unattainable star.
She never considered herself the pampered lady of the Ye Family.
So, it was more like she wasn’t a good match for him.
“What are you doing here?” Tang Yu frowned, “Didn’t I tell you not to come to the set? Ye Sihan is the investor of this drama!”
Right now, she was like a frightened bird, terrified of provoking Ye Sihan.
“What am I doing? I’m just here to bring you a meal, is that a crime? Come on, let’s go eat in mom’s car.” Yu Zhaohui, ignoring everything, pulled Tang Yu towards the car.
Yu Zhaohui drove an SUV, with a spacious back seat, where she laid out the meal on a built-in tray.
Tang Yu looked at it and felt very troubled inside.
And she had even less of an appetite to eat.
“Why just look? Eat!” Yu Zhaohui shoved chopsticks into her hand, “There’s also the soup mom made for you, all your favorite dishes.”
Tang Yu knew there wasn’t a mother in the world who didn’t love her child.
So she didn’t continue to blame her, softened to some extent.
She started to eat.
After a few bites, she weighed her words and asked, “Mom, does Uncle Ye plan to keep this estrangement with Ye Sihan going forever? Have you ever thought about reconciliation?”
If they reconciled, Ye Sihan wouldn’t force her anymore.
“Reconcile? Don’t joke about that.”
“I’m serious,” Tang Yu looked at her straight on, “Mom, please go ask for Ye Sihan’s forgiveness. As long as he can accept you, all other problems can be easily solved.”
“Ask for his forgiveness? Only if the sun rises in the west,” Yu Zhaohui didn’t even think about it.
“Just try it!” Tang Yu said.
“How? If I dare to go, he could kill me. Xiaoyu, do you want that?” Yu Zhaohui asked.
“I’ll accompany you, then. That way, if he tries anything, I’ll stand in front of you.”
“What mom cares about isn’t herself, it’s you,” Yu Zhaohui disagreed, “If something happens to you, wouldn’t that be like cutting flesh from me? Enough, don’t talk about it anymore, eat quickly, it’s getting cold.”
Food entered Tang Yu’s mouth but tasted like wax.
She shouldn’t force Yu Zhaohui to face danger.
She didn’t care whether she was in danger herself, it was mainly because there were four children.
If the secret of hiding the four heirs were to be exposed, she didn’t know what kind of earth-shattering changes would happen to her world.
Compared to now, the pain was unimaginable.
At the moment, either she leaves the country, or she reconciles with Ye Sihan.
The more she thought about it, the more likely the former seemed.
But her passport had been taken by Ye Sihan.
Was she supposed to steal it from Ye Sihan’s Ye Mansion? Wouldn’t that be too reckless?
Suddenly, Tang Yu had an idea, and a light bulb went off in her head.
Yes! She could report it lost and then apply for a replacement!
Once she had it in hand, she could make a run for it!
“What are you spacing out for, hurry up and eat…” Yu Zhaohui, noticing, hadn’t finished speaking when her phone in the bag rang. While urging Tang Yu to eat, she answered the call, “Who is this?”
Having thought of a way to resolve the passport issue, Tang Yu felt less depressed and was able to eat.
Just as she swallowed her food, she heard Yu Zhaohui’s voice rise, “Who did you say you are?”
The voice on the other end was a man’s, “Tang Fulin, your ex-husband. Now that you’re living a good life, have you forgotten about me?”
Yu Zhaohui’s expression stiffened for a while before she glanced sideways and said, “Do we really need to be in touch anymore?”
“Why not? We still have a daughter, don’t we?”
“That has nothing to do with a piece of trash like you who has no sense of responsibility. I hope you won’t bother me in the future!”
“I just want to see my daughter, what’s wrong with that?”
“Crazy,” Yu Zhaohui hung up the phone and tossed her mobile back into her bag, very displeased.
Tang Yu asked, “What’s wrong? Who was it?” An acquaintance?
“Nobody, just an annoying guy,” Yu Zhaohui didn’t intend to elaborate.
Tang Fulin was a scourge, better off dead somewhere.
Why was he coming to them again? Wanted to see his daughter? What kind of logic was that? Wasn’t he well-versed in eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring? How could he still think about his daughter?
“I’m full, you can go back now!” When Tang Yu got out of the car, she reminded her again, “Don’t come to deliver food to me anymore. Better yet, don’t come to the set.”
“I know, there’s no helping it with you, you’re so timid,” Yu Zhaohui compromised.
After Tang Yu got out of the car, Yu Zhaohui watched her walk away before redialing the phone number from earlier, “It just hit me, did you just say you want to see your daughter?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t understand, why are you asking me? After our divorce, the child was awarded to you, why would you come to me? Tang Fulin, what exactly did you do to Xiaoyu?”
“She’s not with you?”
“I haven’t seen her since the divorce, so, don’t call me again!” With Tang Yu having been unable to speak freely earlier, Yu Zhaohui hung up the phone with a resolute finality after making herself clear.
What of the ex-husband? He’s just a lowlife trash!
Wishing he would just drop dead!
As soon as Tang Yu returned to the makeup room, director Chun Ri came to find her.
“Tang Yu, let’s shoot a promotional video!”
“Promotion?”
“Yes, you’re a newcomer, it will also increase your popularity,” Chun Ri said.
Tang Yu couldn’t help feeling anxious, “I don’t want to film a promotional video.” If she did it and exposed her face, what if the quadruplets saw it?
Telling everyone she’s their mom?
For someone with secrets like her, the lower the profile, the safer, right?
“This… it’s the company’s decision, and also, there’s no issue on the investor’s side, could you cooperate?” Chun Ri said.
Tang Yu pursed her lips.
The investor? Ye Sihan?
If that’s his will, does she even have the ability to resist?
“Can I wear ancient costume to shoot it?” she asked.
“Right, just like the look of your character in the play.”
Tang Yu sat in front of the makeup mirror and did her makeup.
She had always done it herself.
The reason she had made such a request was because ancient costume makeup was usually very heavy and could obfuscate her features quite a bit.
She even intentionally made her eye makeup a bit more retro.
That way, it would be hard for ordinary people to recognize her.
Looking at her own face in the mirror, she wondered, would the quadruplets still recognize her? The four little guys were shrewd and bright, and she couldn’t be certain…
After she walked out, the director was momentarily taken aback by her makeup, but it looked pretty good, so he didn’t say anything.
They had her face the camera for a simple interview.
Tang Yu smiled gracefully, perfectly portraying the character from the play.
Just a short three minutes.
After that, it would undergo post-production before being uploaded online as a promotional video for the play.
The next morning, Tang Yu saw the video online.
She even asked Li Xue if it looked like herself, and Li Xue said her face wasn’t easy to recognize, only the name was the same. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
But it’s normal for there to be people with the same name in this world.
Tang Yu’s heart finally eased a bit.
After the video was posted, it had a significant number of shares, since it was a film by a famous director.
However, the tone of the comments began to change.
They claimed she was kept by a man, that she bullied Luo Bingbing on set leading to Luo Bingbing’s departure from the set, describing it as if they knew the full story.
Attacks on Tang Yu began.
Most of the attackers were Luo Bingbing’s fans.
There were also some sock-puppet accounts of another celebrity who had been envious of her from behind the scenes.
As Tang Yu browsed the comments, she speculated, was this Ye Sihan’s intention?
To have her subjected to public discussion, to slander?
After all, being attacked online is a form of psychological violence.
