Chapter 627: Chapter 254: Iron-Willed Chen He_3
After Chen He let out a sheepish laugh, he quickly hung up the phone, internally exclaiming, “Shit.”
He really was dull, only just realizing the connection now…
He should have thought of it earlier; Shen Yutong, a clean-cut girl from a good family, was exactly the type Zhou Zei favored.
If he had found out earlier that Shen Yutong was connected to Wuyou Media, he might have discovered it already.
Fortunately, it wasn’t too late now.
Because he almost missed a golden opportunity.
No, if Zhou Wang heard about today’s incident and he, Chen He, was merely a “bystander,” what would Mr. Zhou think?
Thinking this, Chen He couldn’t stay calm and quickly headed back.
At this time, at the door of dressing room number 3, there still weren’t too many people. After all, in the special environment of a film crew, not everyone dared to watch even if things got lively.
The makeup artist who told Shen Yurou earlier that dressing room number 3 was vacant was nowhere to be seen now.
Director Xu Youguang didn’t show up immediately for some unknown reason, and at the moment, only the assistant director was trying to mediate on the side, but with little effect.
Perhaps because of this, Tang Lingli became even more reckless, having already cornered Shen Yutong.
“Let me tell you, Shen Yutong, this is a film set, not someone’s bed, no one will indulge you here!”
Shen Yutong was not one to be assertive, and expressing her reasoning earlier was already a rare move for her. Now faced with the sharp-tongued Tang Lingli, she was filled with shame and anger but didn’t know how to argue back. Her eyes began to mist over.
While Shen Yutong was at a loss, a figure suddenly stepped in front of her, separating her from Tang Lingli.
Chen He’s face turned serious, his tall frame exuded an overwhelming presence, stopping Tang Lingli, who still wanted to say something, in her tracks.
“Teacher Tang, although you’re a senior, it doesn’t mean you can make baseless accusations. Please apologize to Teacher Shen immediately!”
Chen He’s forceful intervention left everyone stunned.
No… wasn’t this guy usually quite amiable? Did he take the wrong medicine and decide to act suddenly?
After her initial shock, Tang Lingli shrilled, “Chen He, what are you talking about!”
“Teacher Tang, you’re just concocting that story because you knew you were in the wrong, right? Shifting the blame, muddling right and wrong, I’ve seen people in the modeling industry use these tactics often, but to use this on a college student, isn’t it too much?”
Tang Lingli’s voice was sharp, but Chen He’s was louder, brimming with righteousness, causing the corridor to buzz.
“Chen He, are you crazy? What business is this of yours for you to come out barking?”
Tang Lingli didn’t understand what madness Chen He was displaying, instantly turning pale with anger.
“You can criticize my errors, but you cannot insult my character. Tang Lingli, if you’re going down this route, then I’ll have to spill some truths.”
Chen He sneered, “You said it well earlier; this is a film set, not someone’s bed, so why should everyone indulge you? The night before last, I saw you sneaking into Director Xu’s room with my own eyes…”
With Chen He’s words, the expressions of the surrounding people turned more chaotic.
It was no secret to many that Tang Lingli and Director Xu Youguang were intimately involved, but who would openly talk about it !
Tang Lingli didn’t expect Chen He to be so “straightforward.” After a moment of stupor, her face swiftly turned to one of shame and anger, pointing at Chen He with a trembling voice, “You, you bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? I went to Director Xu’s room to discuss the script…”
Chen He raised an eyebrow, “Then what about last night, around one in the morning, when I saw you sneaking into Director Liu’s room…”
Director Liu was the assistant director currently barely maintaining order at the scene, the second in command of the director’s team.
Upon hearing Chen He say this, Director Liu’s face went green instantly.
While others were still in a daze, digesting the information, Tang Lingli, whose face went from red to green, screamed,
“Chen He, you’re spewing nonsense. How could I enter Director Liu’s room… No, what kind of decent person stays up late watching others’ doorways every night?”
“Oh, you misunderstood. I’m not that idle, it’s just when I have insomnia, I like to hang out in the garden by myself, practicing acting, reciting lines, and seeing you entering and exiting others’ rooms happened to be incidental!”
Chen He proclaimed righteously, “And the night before last, I also saw you sneaking…”
This shout came simultaneously from Tang Lingli and Director Liu.
With an ashen face, Director Liu said, “Chen He, you’re deliberately disrupting the set. You will be held accountable for your words and actions…”
“Absolutely accountable!”
Before Director Liu could finish, Chen He interrupted, “Even if the King of Heaven himself were here today, I would take responsibility for what I said!”
While Director Liu was taken aback, hurried footsteps could be heard, signaling the eventual arrival of Director Xu Youguang.
Everyone quickly greeted, and Tang Lingli rushed up first, tears streaming in an instant, crying out in grievance.
“Director, look at Chen He, he’s spreading filthy rumors about you and me! I won’t have the face to show myself unless this is clarified. You better deal with this…”
Xu Youguang’s face was somber, glancing again at Director Liu, who appeared conflicted. This scene made everyone realize that although Xu Youguang hadn’t shown up earlier, he was well aware of what was occurring…
