Editor: Starry, Mika

Sheng Zhiming’s face darkened. 

He didn’t expect Ye Wei to simply leave unhesitantly. She didn’t come and pretend to be pitiful and well behaved like before, let alone find him. Not even a text message— he glanced at the phone, yup, none. 

He coldly finished watching Ye Wei’s interview. Just looking at the Ye Wei in the video makes his teeth ache, “Anything strange about Ye Wei recently??”

Zhao Peng: “……?”

He wondered what type of “strangeness” he is referring to. As in whether she found a new golden thigh backer? He didn’t pay attention to that aspect so he doesn’t know ah. 

“Probably not”

Sheng Zhiming gave him a glance, Zhao Peng’s heart thumped: “I’ll go check right away!”

Not even half an hour later, Zhao Peng came back: “There is none. All of Ye Wei’s work had been cancelled and Liu Jia has been begging for people to help, but wasn’t successful. Ye Wei, right now, is targeted by the whole public plus, because she offended you, no one wants to be connected to her. 

In result, Sheng Zhiming became even more confused. So, in the end, who gave Ye Wei the gut to do this?

He coldly laughed, “I want to see when she’ll come and beg.”

And so, this wait continued for many days. Sheng Zhiming, actually, did not receive any calls or a single text from Ye Wei. He did not even see her in private but rather finds her often on entertainment news. 

“Ye Wei appeared late at night, alone, and drunk on the streets!”

On the nine pictures attached, it shows Ye Wei, protected in the center by her four bodyguards, sitting on the streets, eating barbecue and drinking beers. 

Netizens fierly commented. 

【Hah karma! This is the ending for evil!】

【Ye Wei still hasn’t apologized to our Ruoyan little angel. This is going too far! Ye Wei apologizes immediately!】

【Ye Wei apologize!】

【Wang Ruoyan already said Ye Wei didn’t push her. Can’t you guys cut it off!】

【 Little angel Ruoyan said she didn’t push us because she is a kindhearted person. Whether she pushed or not, can we not tell? Clearly in the video, she obviously pushed!】

【She’s just eating barbecue, yet still needs four bodyguards. Does she still think she is still the big star from back then?】

【Ye Wei is too arrogant!】

【?? Is it just me that thinks Ye Wei is eating pretty cheerily and flagrantly and does not look lonely or desolate?】

Sheng Zhiming also saw the news. Although the picture was a little blurry, but you can clearly see Ye Wei holding her bottle up and drinking with her head back desolately. 

Things are already like this, yet she still did not come find him. 

Surprisingly, this time she was able to hold on longer. 

“After Ye Wei was dismissed from Royal Harem, she was also dismissed from Sparrow into Phoenix due to poor acting skills.”

Nine attached photos show Ye Wei’s drench wet self protected by her four bodyguards and embarrassingly left. 

Netizen fierly commented. 

【I heard Ye Wei was personally fired by Sheng Zhiming’s mother and picked Wang Ruoyan as the female lead. Hehe, Wang Ruoyan really became the sparrow into phoenix. 】

【Ye Wei’s acting’s skill were originally not that good. If it wasn’t because Sheng young master was willing to back her, and threw money in some big movies, will she become who she is today?】

【Ye Wei probably used that face of hers to feed herself, right. If her face wasn’t decently lookable, who will be willing to give her another glance?】

【Ye Wei’s acting isn’t not bad, at least much better than some pretty little flower artists now. Those that are following the dark sunspots should stop. 】

【Even fired from her supporting role,Ye Wei is so miserable.】

【What kind of drama is Sparrow into Phoenix? How come I have never heard of it before?】

【I think it’s some random small web drama. Is Ye Wei living frugally in the entertainment industry now? Haha】

【Hah! She deserves it! 】

【Then is it just me that thinks Ye Wei’s a nut job? Things are already like this, yet she still walks around with four bodyguards. Who does she think she is?】

【She’s obviously being pretentious, no matter what she loses, she can’t lose her momentum. Else, why else would she walk around with bodyguards?】

Sheng Zhiming had never thought Ye Wei would accept this job. Even though she’s already fallen this low, she had never come to look for him. 

This definitely does not seem like something Ye Wei would do. 

Could it be she finally gained some self-awareness and does not dare to come find him?

In addition, within this time period, there was no less of media news about her. But regardless of what kind of news, the four big bodyguards would always be seen around her without failure. 

Even Sheng Zhiming can’t help but wonder why she would bring her bodyguards around no matter where she went since this was totally unnecessary. Considering her situations, it is best to not stand out because it will only further attract netizens’s criticism. 

Unsurprisingly, Liu Jia was almost angry to death by Ye Wei’s bodyguards. 

In this situation, still being arrogant and self-important, isn’t this just blatantly asking to die? It would have been the better to just act pitiful and use emotion cards to make netizens soften their attitude. But instead she’s bringing her bodyguard around wherever she goes, if this isn’t looking to die, then what else could it be?

“I’m telling you, tomorrow when you go shoot «He is Coming», do not bring your bodyguards! If you bring them I’ll kill them

“Liu jie, you don’t understand.”

“What don’t I understand? Quickly get rid of your bodyguards for me right now!

Ye Wei: “No, you don’t understand.”

Liu jie:”…….” If she understands her then she must be mentally retarded. 

The bodyguard will definitely not go. Working tirelessly everyday, wasn’t it just to get to where she is today. Ye Wei’s last task was just to wait and court death, but before her death, what’s worth the most is only her little life. As she reached a new point of blackened, receiving countless dead mice, right now it is super dangerous so no matter what is said, she’ll never get rid of the bodyguards. 

For the perfect and beautiful completion of the mission, she needs to put in all her effort, and must not be taken lightly. 

So on the second day, when Liu jie once again saw Ye Wei and her “Four Great Guardians”, her face turned green from anger. 

This moron, does she still think she’s the little spoiled lover of Sheng Zhiming!

……

Recently Zhao Peng became increasingly unable to understand Sheng Zhiming. 

Since Sheng Zhiming would frequently check for Ye Wei’s news, and everytime when he looked he would coldly smile, and sometimes ask him: “ Did Ye Wei called today?”

None, there’s really none. 

Ever since Ye Wei was discharged, she had not once called. It was so quiet that even Zhao Peng felt disbelief. 

Not only that, even Liu Jia was incredibly silent. 

Had it not been for Ye Wei’s endless news, he would have thought Ye Wei disappeared. 

This is very strange. 

Since Sheng Zhiming recently paid a lot of attention to Ye Wei, Zhao Peng also started to pay her more attention —— just scared of when Sheng young master randomly asked, he’ll not be able to respond. 

These days he has been scrolling through Ye Wei’s weibo, but who knew he once again saw Ye Wei’s in the hot search. 

“Ye Wei Came?”

He bewilderedly clicked it, and found a 15 minute interview video. 

“……?”

“……!”

“……??!!”

Half an hour later, did he finally send the interview video into Sheng Zhiming’s hand. 

Sheng Zhiming clicked on the video with a cold face and saw a flamboyant Ye Wei waving. Her long black dress, bright red lips, slim yet plump body, looking beautiful and sexy. 

…… And he also found that her chest seemed to be even bigger?

Where’s the loneliness and weight lost?

“Didn’t you say Ye Wei has no shows?”

“He Came’s host is Xue Hao, the young master of the Xue family, and is a student of Capital University Film and Television Academy. Originally it was just for fun, but because the topic and content of the discussion were spicy and straightforward, the audience bought it very much, so there were many fans. Moreover, He Came is known to be notoriously true. There is no such thing as script by script, so it tests the interviewee’s on-the-spot reaction. Some people make a fool of themselves on his show, while others talk and laugh together on his show. This time he invited Ye Wei, but he did not expect Ye Wei to actually agree.”

The Xue family is also a wealthy family in the imperial capital, and had business dealings with the Sheng family. No wonder they dared to invite Ye Wei to record the show at this time.

Sheng Zhiming frowned, Xue Hao, he naturally knows about him. He is also a very proud yet troublesome host. He didn’t understand why Ye Wei agreed to participate in Xue Hao’s program.

He clicked open and took a look. 

……

Xue Hao also grew up in the power circle and naturally understands that people’s hearts are sinister and can do anything for their own goods.

In this way, when he heard that Wang Ruoyan blocked the knife for Sheng Zhiming, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh and complimented her as “kind and righteous”, while Ye Wei naturally appeared hypocritical and ruthless, especially after Ye Wei shamelessly threatened Wang Ruoyan to leave Sheng Zhiming, he came to hate this extremely hypocritical and selfish woman even more.

So he invited Ye Wei to come shoot this show and embarrass herself. 

Until when he saw her, his impression of her lowered even more to extreme. Can’t she see what kind of situation she is in, yet still make such a grand entrance. Who does she think she is?

Xue Hao: “Our guest today is the unwillingly to block the knife for Sheng Shao and the coward who is afraid to die, Ye Wei.”

Ye Wei: “Hey guys, I am the I love myself the most, Ye Wei. 

Xue Hao: Heh

Ye Wei: 【Calm smile.jpg】

Sheng Zhiming: …….

The barrage exploded. 

【Shameless!】

【Shameless!!】

【Too shameless!】

The opening remarks were filled with gunpowder and smoke, full of fire and medicine.

Xue Hao: “The hottest topic during this period is the entanglement between you, Sheng Shao and Wang Ruoyan. It is spreading on the internet that when you were kidnapped, you told the kidnapper that you were not Sheng Shao’s girlfriend. Is that true?”

Ye Wei: “It is true, I truly wasn’t Sheng Zhiming’s girlfriend.”

Xue Hao was surprised by Ye Wei’s directness. But it is better that way, he loves spicy hot gossip topics : “But as far as I know, you have a very close relationship with Shao Sheng, and are not simply ordinary friends.

Ye Wei: “Of course not, Sheng Shao is handsome and rich. I am greedy for money, lust and love vanity. Is it normal to have no idea about him? Right?”

Xue Hao: “Yes.”

Xue Hao: “But you push aside your relationship with Sheng Shao at a time of danger. Netizens say you are unkind and too cold-blooded. What do you think of yourself?”

Ye Wei waved her hand, disapproving: “If I lost my life, does life favor matter? Of course it is more important to save my life.”

Xue Hao: …… 

On the barrage. 

【Ye Wei is shameless!】

【Fuck! Am I the only one that thinks Ye Wei’s words make a lot of sense?】

【Although Sheng Shao, this flower, is a big radish, he is still handsome and with lots of gold. Even if it was me,I can’t help but have ideas for Sheng Shao.】

【Sheng Shao vs. your life, who is more important?】

【Of course it’s your own life! What’s the use of having a beautiful man if your life is gone!】

Sheng Zhiming: ….. 

Sheng Zhiming’s brows jumped, he really didn’t expect Ye Wei to dare to participate in the talk show and spoke so openly! She also dared to admit that she was greedy for money, lustful and vain, and also had ideas of him!

Heh!

A more angering response came after that. 

Xue Hao: “If you were given another chance to repeat the situation, would you block the knife for Sheng Shao?”

Ye Wei seriously replied with a deep face: “No. After experiencing such terrible things, especially when I saw Xiao Wang lying in a pool of blood not knowing whether dead or alive, I finally understood the value of life, and I will cherish and love my life.”

Xue Hao: “That means you love yourself more, and only yourself.”

Ye Wei: “Yes, because I have understood one truth ever since I was a child. If you want others to love you, you must first love yourself. If you don’t love yourself, how can you expect others to love you. Right?”

Xue Hao: “……” Sounds right. 

Sheng Zhiming: …… 

The barrage was collectively silent.

【……】

【……】

【… Ye Wei is poisonous, why do I think she makes a lot of sense?】

【Wang Ruoyan was really brave to block the knife for Sheng Zhiming, but Ye Wei was also not wrong for not blocking the knife. Guys don’t moral kidnap1 her, alright?】

【Ye Wei makes an excuse for her selfishness again, because Ye Wei is like this, that’s what highlights Ruoyan’s preciousness as a little angel! 】

Xue Hao decided some ruthless bomb: “Since you don’t love Sheng Zhiming as much as Wang Ruoyan, why did you go to Sheng Shao for forgiveness after the danger passes, and after Sheng Shao ignores you and you went to threaten Wang Ruoyan to leave Sheng Shao? You even hurt her in the process. Doing this don’t you think you’re too vicious?”

Ye Wei: “Actually I think I’m pretty alright. . Although I didn’t like Sheng Shao enough to die for him, I still like him. Isn’t it normal to do something to get Sheng Shao?

Xue Haoli said: “So you admit that you pushed Wang Ruoyan!”

As a vicious female supporting lead, apart from being able to argue they can’t admit their mistakes: “Didn’t push, of course, I didn’t push her. No matter what, Xiao Wang is still the savior of Sheng Zhiming. There are very few such pure and kind-hearted people in the world, so we need to protect her. If Sheng Shao encounters danger again, he still needs her.”

Xue Hao: “…..??”

Sheng Zhiming: …… 

The barrage fell into collective silence. 

【……】

【……】

Xue Hao was shocked. He interviewed so many people but he really hadn’t seen someone like Ye Wei, so selfish and greedy for life, cowardly and selfish to such extent. She should be considered a rare wonder in the world.

Xue Hao: “As far as I know, you have recently been out of work. The notice was cancelled, and the endorsements that you signed have also changed. But even so, you still take a few bodyguards and assistants with you wherever you go, generally not letting people approach, and like to play big cards. Seeing you today, it seems that it is true?”

The camera panned to the four sturdy strong men standing aside.

Ye Wei sighed: “Yes, after such terrible things, I deeply realized that my life is the most important thing! Only with them can I feel safe.”

Xue Hao: “……???”

The corners of Xue Hao’s mouth twitched: “Even Sheng Shao is not as exaggerated as you.”

Ye Wei shook her head. As a vicious supporting female lead, she also shook the pot well: “Yes, it is too dangerous around Sheng Shao, because of him I had almost died, but I did really loved him.”

Xue Hao: “……???”

Sheng Zhiming: “……!!!”   

The vast number of netizens: “……??!!!”

1moral kidnap:  “Moral Kidnapping” is a direct translation from a Chinese term/concept, which means to use moral value to threaten/force/give pressure to others so that they will do the thing you ask them to do (kind of like you kidnap someone’s moral value and force them to agree with yours). In this way, you were more likely to find a word such as guilt-tripping or emotional blackmail — I copied this responses from Jin Wang on quora
