Chapter 35: Conditions

The more Zhao Yi thought about it, the angrier he became. Soon, he started to list out Ding Sisi's bad behaviors. "That day she brought someone to the filming scene and some stranger even recorded our acting and broadcasted it live! That's absolutely... luckily I found out on time and got it down before it spread. If not, how is this film going to sell if it's already leaked before we filmed anything! And now this kind of thing happens! She's not that good at acting, but is doing quite a good job at coming up with all these ideas!"

After which, Zhao Yi snorted and continued. "Hmph! I cannot stand this Ding Sisi any longer! Go and talk to her manager immediately to break the contract. We have the evidence online and the video points to her directly. Not only did she leak confidential details, but also adversely affected the filming crew! Hence, not only will I ask to break the contract, but I will also make her pay the fee! Since she dared to mess with me, I'll make sure she knows she messed with the wrong person!"

Suddenly, Zhao Yi thought of something. He turned to Wang Hao, saying, "Oh yes, Wang Hao, upload that recording online. Since she wants to stir up shit for me, I'll make sure her plan backfires!"

...

...

Back at Dijing International Apartment.

Yun Muxi, Gong Yu and Seventh Brother were discussing the best solution. Such a sudden attack took them off guard!

Just when they could no longer churn out any more ideas, a "beep" came from Seventh Brother's phone. He lifted his phone and was taken aback at what he saw. "Oh my god!"

Yun Muxi and Gong Yu turned towards Seventh Brother concurrently. Seventh Brother's eyes were twinkling. He opened the voicemail excitedly and passed it to them.

"...Xiao Hai, you should know who you're working for this time around! Sisi has her backup, do not worry and just do what you're told. You won't be held accountable even if something happens! ... Yes, just do according to what we've discussed. You'll spread malicious comments online about Yun Muxi, saying that she quit her first year of college because she was being sugar babied as a mistress. The wife then found her and she was chased out. She was pregnant then and insisted on giving birth to the child. They say that a mother is only worthy because of the child... but who would have known that she gave birth to a daughter, now the family doesn't even want to acknowledge her. This is how she became a single mother... Yes! Just like that! Also, don't forget to mention that she seduced Gong Yu so that she can find a new sugar daddy and start over again! ... Yes, just like that! When the netizens start to scold her, lead them to discover her dark past, you must ruin her. When you're done, I'll transfer the other half of the money..."

The three were dumbfounded. Seventh Brother said, "Oh my god, this is god helping us! Who is this life-saver? Now we don't even have to do anything, the problem solved itself! Hahaha... I bet this Ding Sisi did not see this backfire coming!"

Gong Yu's eyebrows furrowed tightly. His expressions were icy cold and he was fuming to the extent that he was on the verge of tears! He was so triggered by Ding Sisi's words, he felt like strangling her! How dare she frame Yun Muxi!

Although the issue had been solved, Yun Muxi could not help but ponder about Ding Sisi's words. She was shocked and absolutely could not believe what happened! That was because Ding Sisi's made-up nonsense was actually half-correct!

She did quit school during her first year because of relationship problems, but it was not to become a mistress. Back then, she accidentally time-traveled and met Duanmu Gongyu, and the pair got together ever since. Afterward, she also did became a single mom...

She did not know how much Ding Sisi knew about her, but she was already surprised that she knew such things! Fear started to take over her and she could not help but turned her head to glance at Gong Yu.

She saw that his expression was not good too. Although she did not know what was on his mind, she did not want to stay here anymore. Clearing her throat, she said, "Um, since the matter has been solved, then I'll bring Niannian back home!"

Yun Muxi stood up to leave. Seventh Brother glanced at Gong Yu and said, "Xiao Xi, this is something worth celebrating, stay for dinner!"

Following which, Seventh Brother started to signal to Gong Yu with his eyes, clearly saying, "I can only help you until here, you have to do something too!"

Gong Yu said in a plain voice, "Let's eat together!" "You have to try Seventh Brother's cooking, he's not bad!"

Yun Muxi was just about to reply when Gong Yu continued, "Niannian is still sleeping, don't wake her up!"

Yun Muxi felt bad to reject them again, it would make her seem like she was too good for them! Nodding her head, she sat down again.

Reading the situation, Seventh Brother quickly dashed into the kitchen. He continued to send signals to Gong Yu at angles where Yun Muxi could not see him.

After Seventh Brother left them, Yun Muxi started to feel awkward and took out her laptop to surf the Internet. Suddenly, she saw something strange. After the nurse uploaded the picture of them at the hospital onto Weibo, she also mentioned Gong Yu's account in the comment. However, since comments under the photo were just flying past, the mention went unnoticed.

Yun Muxi lifted her head and asked Gong Yu seriously, "Do you have Weibo?"

He answered calmly, "Yes, but I've never used it, Seventh Brother runs the account!"

Yun Muxi told him, "That person mentioned you, but didn't say anything, this is very strange."

Gong Yu went to her laptop to take a look. He saw the small '@' sign among the pile of comments too.

Feeling uneasy, Yun Muxi said, "I'm afraid that things aren't so simple."

Gong Yu nodded and called for Seventh Brother. He came running to them in an apron and a confused face. "What's wrong? I'm chopping the vegetables!"

Yun Muxi looked up and called him, "Seventh Brother, come take a look."

Confused, Seventh Brother walked over and looked at her laptop. He too saw the mention. Then, he asked with much confusion, "It's just a mention, what's wrong with it?"

Yun Muxi said calmly, "I think this mention is not simple, I'm afraid things can't be solved so easily."

Seventh Brother furrowed his eyebrows are carefully examined this '@'. Then, he nodded and said, "I think we should find this person and find out what she wants."

Gong Yu spoke in a low voice, "Seventh Brother, why not let Xiao Xi do the cooking so you can settle this?" Then, he turned and ask Yun Muxi for her opinion. "What do you think, Xiao Xi?"

Yun Muxi nodded. "Sure, no problem!"

After Yun Muxi and Seventh Brother exchanged roles, he started to take advantage of his extensive human network and top-notch negotiation skills.

This time around, Seventh Brother quickly found the nurse who was on shift at the hospital that night. However, he failed to take care of her.

Seventh Brother returned from the bedroom with a sulky face. Gong Yu asked nervously, "Why? Not successful?"

Seventh Brother sat down, scratched his head and explained with a little decadence. "I've used all my negotiation skills, but this nurse is a hard nut to crack! She said that she can delete the photo and the comment, but there's one condition..."

Then, he looked at Gong Yu with a very different gaze.

Gong Yu said in a low voice, "Go ahead, what conditions?"

Seventh Brother looked towards the kitchen to make sure Yun Muxi was not listening to them. Then, he deliberately spoke in a very low voice, "She said that she likes you a lot, she wants to have a date with you."

Gong Yu's face darkened immediately and the air froze. He asked in a cold voice, "You agreed!"

Seventh Brother was a little scared of Gong Yu. "How would I dare to do that? I said that I have to ask for your opinion."

Gong Yu let his guard down a bit. Raising his eyebrow, he asked, "Did she ask for anything else?"

Seventh Brother felt that Gong Yu saw through him. "She said that as long as you agree to a date, she will delete them in front of you. If you don't agree, she'll post about the trip to the hospital online. She also said that the hospital has security cameras, you can't deny it."

After he finished speaking, Seventh Brother stepped backward in fear. He understood Gong Yu's temper, he knew that such an obvious threat to him would only step on his wrong foot. Seventh Brother was afraid that Gong Yu would harm the innocent when triggered; Seventh Brother was being brought down innocently!

Just as what Seventh Brother expected, Gong Yu was indeed full of anger. The cold atmosphere was terrifying and he furrowed his eyebrows tightly. However, this terrifying atmosphere soon passed away. Gong Yu's expression became serious and he asked in a cold voice, "You can agree, but we cannot let Xiao Xi know about this."

Seventh Brother almost choked! What? Did her hear that correctly? The cold and heartless Gong Yu actually agreed? The Gong Yu that he knew would definitely not agree to such threats!

Seventh Brother looked at Gong Yu in fear. He swallowed his saliva and asked cowardly, "What did you say? Say that again, I think I may be hallucinating!"

Gong Yu glared at Seventh Brother. "You heard it correctly."

All the more Seventh Brother thought that he was hallucinating. He even tried to pinch himself. When he felt the pain, he finally let the fact that Gong Yu agreed to the date sink in. This was too strange! There was definitely something wrong, it was not logical!

Seventh Brother confirmed with him again, "Are you sure? You're not gonna regret?"

Gong Yu put on his cold expression again and replied, "I don't want to repeat myself!"

That sent Seventh Brother grabbing for his phone in fear and running into the bedroom to make a call.

After a while, Seventh Brother came out. He looked at Gong Yu with unsettledness and asked, "Gong Yu, have you really thought about it? You can still change your mind! This is much easier to solve as compared to Ding Sisi who does things behind our back! If you don't want to agree to her request, we can think of our ways."

Gong Yu remained silent and only nodded.

Seventh Brother suddenly lowered his voice. "She will meet you at Central Square at 10 am tomorrow. She said you two will go for a movie first, then lunch. Afterward, there's an art exhibition. After dinner, there'll be a classical music concert. Then you're free! She also said that you can dress up, in case your photos get taken. When you bring her home at night, she'll delete them in front of you."

At this moment, Yun Muxi's head was seen stretching out of the kitchen. "Seventh Brother."

Her sudden appearance scared the two guys to death. They looked towards her in great fear...
