I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 105

Shi Wei had thought that there was nothing to worry about anymore because of her connection with Fu Chengyan. It was just a drama, and it would more than suffice if Fu Chengyan had spoken up for her.

But it was clear that Shi Wei had taken it too lightly. Right on the next day after her audition, her role in the drama was again nearly threatened by her scandal.

Rumor had it that the director for this movie was displeased with Shi Wei being selected for the role. It was worse now that Shi Wei had been dragged into a scandal.

On the day she had finished the audition, rumors were going around saying that she was displeased with the producer at Xinhuang. However, Shi Wei had toned down her attitude, given the need to cooperate with Qin Hong in the future.

Yet, the news of her from a few years back began to surface on social media that night. She had paid for the news to be taken down, but now, that informant had something even more mind-blowing.

Shi Wei had gone to M Nation for a drama shooting for about a year when she was only eighteen or nineteen.

The pictures that surfaced online were that of Shi Wei hugging and being intimate with a man. There were even photos that were more explicit than that. Those were old photos, and one would not have guessed that it was Shi Wei in those photos.

But Shi Wei recognized herself straight away.

She scrolled through her social media in her room and suddenly saw herself topped the charts on the trending topics.

The sudden fame had astonished her, and she thought that her company had bought the trending position following her audition today to boost her popularity. But Shi Wei soon realized that it was not that case at all. Someone had leaked her indecent photos everywhere, and her fans, haters, and even keyboard warriors were all vilifying her.

Shi Wei’s notification on Weibo was about to burst as she saw more and more posts about the scandal surfacing online. There was nothing she could do at that moment as she was panic-stricken.

All of a sudden, Shi Wei’s phone rang, and it shocked her so much that she almost flung it across the floor. However, she calmed herself down and picked up the call. It was a call from the director of her managing company, “Shi Wei, would you mind give me a viable explanation for all these!”

“I… I have no idea! Director, someone must have framed me… I…”

“Framed you?” The director snorted at her reply, “I think your explanation is less than useless. You’d better think of how to settle this!”

“I…”

“Come to the office immediately!”

Shi Wei sat dazed as she stared at the phone. After a while, she came to her senses and changed her clothes before leaving.

Jiang Yu bumped into Shi Wei at the door and was curious to see her in a disheveled manner, “Wei, what’s with you? Where are you going at this hour?”

“Mum, there’s no time to explain. I’m going to the office. If… If paparazzi or reporters show up, do not open the door or answer any of their questions, do you understand?”

With that, Shi Wei left in a hurry, leaving Jiang Yu stumped. She quickly went to Shi Jingzheng’s study and asked, “Zheng, do you know what’s up with Wei?”

Shi Jingzheng was busy at that moment and frowned when he heard Jiang Yu talking. “What could be wrong with Shi Wei? She’s busy all day anyway. Didn’t Fu Chengyan say he will help? Everything is in a mess, and father is still in the hospital. Can the two of you not add any more trouble?”

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Yu was displeased. Are you blaming me for what happened? She had wanted to retort but thought otherwise. Jiang Yu immediately surfed the social media while thinking about Shi Wei’s demeanor. After a while, she saw her daughter’s indecent photos circling around the web, making her slumped back in the chair. “No, I can’t let this happen to Wei, definitely not!”

Heated discussions were all over social media. Everyone was talking about how Shi Wei had lied to them, judging by the photos.

Shi Wei had always appeared as someone innocent and pure. Her fans adored her because of her impeccably innocent image as well. They even gave her the title “Princess Wei” and regarded her every move and temperament as immaculate.

After those photos and videos were leaked, her fans were aghast and could not believe their own eyes. However, they suffered a huge blow as more and more photos surfaced.

Her fans had wanted to defend her against those haters and keyboard warriors but soon were drowned in the lewd photos.

In the meantime, Shi Wei was reprimanded back at the office. It was true that she had a connection to Fu Chengyan, but it was only a second female lead role. Besides, it was only a verbal agreement for the role, and there was no contract.

However, Fu Xicheng was in no mood to empathize with her. He had been displeased with Shi Wei recently and now there was another incident, “What actually happened? My line had been busy since this morning, and they were all from those paparazzi! Shi Wei, didn’t you say the ones before were fake news? Would you mind explaining this to me, then? Is this fake news too?”

Fu Xicheng was boiling with rage. He had pinned all his hope on Shi Wei since his relationship with Shi Nuan had gone to the point of no return. But what was Shi Wei getting at? “What do you take me for?”

“Xicheng, please listen to me. What you’re seeing is not the truth. Someone is trying to frame me. You have to believe in me. Yes, those photos are fake. It’s not me!” Shi Wei panicked. It was not easy for her to snatch Fu Xicheng away from Shi Nuan, and she had vowed to keep Fu Xicheng as her man.

“You don’t understand the entertainment industry. I have probably offended someone, and so they’re…”

“Enough. You’re really taking everyone for a fool! If you don’t explain yourself clearly this time, we…”

“Xicheng!” Shi Wei interrupted him. “Please don’t say it. I don’t like hearing it.” Shi Wei’s voice quivered when she said that and pouted her lips, “Never say that to me. This is really someone trying to sabotage me. You have to help me. Can you please go seek Fu Chengyan’s help? He will definitely help me!”

“Fu Chengyan?” Fu Xicheng spitted out each word. “You want me to beg Fu Chengyan again?”

“But…”

Fu Xicheng did not wait for Shi Wei to finish her line before hanging up on her.

On the other end, Shi Wei was stunned. She clutched her phone tightly and stared blankly in disbelief. She could not believe that Fu Xicheng dared to reject her, lest hanging up on her!

No, Fu Xicheng is mine!

Shi Wei clenched her teeth and glanced at Guan Jing, “Why don’t you come up with something? You’re my agent! If you can’t even settle this, what kind of agent are you?”

“Shi Wei, you have to speak out of conscience!” Guan Jing was enraged as he did not expect Shi Wei to be such a two-face. “I can do nothing now that it’s been blown out of proportion. Mr. Li does not have any plans to intervene. Do you think an agent like me would have the capability to settle this and suppress all these gossips?”
