Yuan Shu tried her best to explain the ins and outs of the matter as briefly as possible. In the end, she said, “Director Wang, don’t worry. I can guarantee with my reputation that this matter definitely wasn’t done by Shen Lu! Therefore, I want to ask you to help release a statement that this movie is in the casting stage and everything hasn’t been finalized yet.”
Wang Shen had a bad temper to begin with, so after hearing this, he was even angrier. “Aren’t they making things up?! I haven’t even thought of the name of this movie yet, so how can I confirm the role?! Just you wait, I’ll make a statement now!”
After saying that, Wang Shen hung up the phone. He didn’t even wait for Yuan Shu to thank him.
It had been a long time since Yuan Shu had seen such a hot-tempered person. The three of them exchanged looks of dismay. They didn’t realize that Wang Shen had such a hot temper, but he seemed to be easy to get along with.
Before the three of them could heave a sigh of relief, Zhang Zhang raised another question. “But even if the director issued a statement to prove that Zheng Yan lied, the video does look like Shi Lu forced his way into the room. I’m worried that the netizens won’t believe it so easily.”
Yuan Shu frowned as she pondered over it and she couldn’t help but bite her lower lip. This was her habit when she was thinking. The deeper she fell into her thoughts, the more she couldn’t help but bite her lower lip. It was as if as long as she bit her lower lip, the problem would be solved.
Zhang Zhang looked at the two people who had fallen silent again because of his question. Then, he shut his mouth and took this opportunity to size up Yuan Shu.
She had actually followed the live-stream of Shi Xiao and Yuan Shu’s marriage online. In her impression, Yuan Shu had a vulgar temperament and had heavy makeup on. Even the pure white wedding dress looked a little tacky on her.
She could also understand why Shen Lu said that Yuan Shu was a scheming woman.
When she saw Yuan Shu today, she was only wearing very comfortable home clothes, but her entire temperament was very otherworldly. Her beauty carried a hint of coldness that kept people at bay. Although she looked gentle, there was a sense of aloofness to her features.
However, the domestic attire made her look more easy-going and her tranquil aura gave people peace of mind.
It was no wonder that Shen Lu’s evaluation of Yuan Shu was so different and he forbade people from speaking ill of his sister-in-law. Even Zhang Zhang couldn’t help but want to get close to Yuan Shu. This was the first time Zhang Zhang had such a strong desire to make friends with someone.
But of course, she knew that now wasn’t a good time to make friends.
Wang Shen posted a statement. In the statement, he couldn’t help but scold those netizens who didn’t know the truth but were making wild guesses. In the end, he even said that it was impossible for him to hire a female artiste who lied, especially for the female lead role. He had long found a suitable female lead for this movie, but the other party didn’t agree.
The public opinion also started to develop in a good direction. The netizens began to guess who the person who was offered the female lead role but rejected Wang Shen was.
[It must be Zhang Zhang! She just came back from filming overseas recently and is famous. Of course Wang Shen will choose her!]
Of course, other than Zhang Zhang, there were also people who guessed other female celebrities. Almost all the fans tried to get an opportunity for their idol. After all, that was Wang Shen’s new movie! If she played the female lead role, her status might rise to another level!
Only the few people present that night knew that the person Wang Shen was talking about was Yuan Shu.
However, Yuan Shu didn’t reveal the matter.
Although the public opinion was no longer focused on Shi Lu, the outcome was similar to what Zhang Zhang had said. Although the netizens were discussing Zheng Yan’s lie, there were still many people that refused to let go of the matter of Shi Lu barging into the room.
Zhou Yan found out that the attendant’s name was Wang Er. He was currently a senior at a low-ranking university.
Wang Er said that he was paid to help carry a glass of wine and hand over a room card. He didn’t know anything else.
The trail went cold again. There was only a turnaround at two in the afternoon..
