After My Death, The Villain Blackened Again: Chapter 63

ARC 2: THE FILM EMPEROR FROM HUMBLE ORIGINS (19)

To Yan Ge, it felt like the baby she had raised was breaking her heart. After all, this baby directly skipped the stage of a child and went straight to the horny phase of a teenager. She hadn't been careful and almost let what little affection they had veer down a crooked path.

And so she had to think things through, observe him constantly, study him, and then come up with a plan for the next step.

Lately, Qi Yuan felt this woman was closing the net.

After waiting for so long, she was finally going to reveal her true colors. Although sardonic, Qi Yuan felt an expectation he couldn't understand himself.

However, he waited and waited, but she didn't made a move.

He began to feel panicked. It was as if a colorful knife was dangling over his head, causing him to feel extremely complicated whenever he looked her way.

When is she going to sleep with him?

Is it because it's her first time having a little white face and so she feels shy?

Does this mean he should make an effort?

Wang Xiuming didn't come find Yan Ge again. He thought about signing an agreement with her once the movie was filmed and released.

Since she didn't want to divorce, he would do what she wanted. They could each have a little fun, but they must not endanger their marriage.

Wang Xiuming thought it was pretty good.

But without waiting for the movie to shoot, a rompy bed video of him and his assistant suddenly went viral.

Wang Xiuming's team denied that he was the male starring in the video.

They even issued a statement saying they would arm themselves with the law to protect Wang Xiuming's reputation against anyone who dared to defame him.

But that didn't hinder everyone's sharp eyes. They compared all the birthmarks and scars on the actor's body to Wang Xiuming and were twelve points certain it was him.

Of course, people also dug out the female lead, Wang Xiuming's assistant!

It would be strange if he wasn't the man in the video.

Such a matter couldn't be covered up in a digital era.

Wang Xiuming felt he was very lucky. Fortunately he didn't have the lawyer send Xu Yan the drafted agreement, otherwise their relationship would have tanked and she might have struck back.

He called Xu Yan in the first moments of the incident breaking out, intending to explain the matter and placate her.

The front yard was already on fire. He didn't want the back yard to be in flames as well.

The call didn't go through and he couldn't go find her since his place was surrounded by reporters.

Unable to talk to her, he had no choice but to constantly send her voice messages.

He was really afraid Xu Yan would jump in.

He even called a film director she knew and respected to see her and play mediator between them.

Of course, he didn't forget to send Xu Yan several intimate photos of her and Qi Yuan that he collected from a private investigator.

If Xu Yan really dared to throw stones at a person who already fell down a well¹, he had ways to destroy her reputation.

What he feared most came to happen.

Yan Ge did not just throw rocks, she directly appealed to the courts and filed for a divorce.

As a screenwriter with a beautiful appearance, she had garnered a lot of fans. Compared to his fans who've been trying to wash him white, her own were not far behind.

As a result, Yan Ge played it big. Her public account not only issued a divorce complaint against Wang Xiuming, but also posted an autobiography entry with details about the host and Wang Xiuming's relationship as well as the hardships they faced from when they first came to the capital.
