WMMMWF Chapter 140

TL: Moonlit

---

Mr. Han remained silent.

“Mr. Han is so distraught, Zhang Weiwei must be quite something,” Xu Sisi clicked her tongue. “But I think Mr. Han is even more remarkable. Despite being hurt again and again, he still has lingering feelings for her. Such deep affection is truly touching.”

Shen Ye nodded, “Indeed, it’s quite moving.”

Mr. Han: “…”

Xu Sisi and Shen Ye’s words left him speechless.

“Just tell me, what do you want me to do?” Shen Ye raised an eyebrow. “Do you want me to give you a talisman to lock Zhang Weiwei’s heart?”

Mr. Han opened his mouth as if he wanted to deny it, but he remained silent in the end.

Shen Ye continued, “Or do you want me to help you get rid of Zhang Weiwei’s entanglement?”

Mr. Han opened his mouth again but didn’t speak.

“Think it through yourself,” Shen Ye said. “But let me remind you, I can’t give you a talisman to lock Zhang Weiwei’s heart. As for getting rid of her, if you truly want to, you’ll surely find a way, and you won’t need my help.”

After a long pause, Mr. Han let out a sigh and said softly, “I know.”

Shen Ye remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

“I… actually wanted to ask for your help in helping me forget her,” Mr. Han rubbed his forehead and said. “Of course, I have ways to get rid of her, but I’m also in pain. I can’t sleep at night, tormented… I even suspect that Zhang Weiwei used some sort of curse on me, which is why I can’t forget her…”

Seeing his exhausted appearance, Xu Sisi felt a bit of sympathy for him and whispered to Shen Ye, “Maybe you should help him.”

Shen Ye’s gaze fell on Mr. Han’s face as he said, “As I said before, this is the karmic debt from your past life with her. Once it’s repaid, you’ll be free.”

Mr. Han raised his tired eyes and looked at Shen Ye, whispering, “When will I be able to repay it?”

Every time Zhang Weiwei betrayed him, it felt like his heart was being torn out, and the pain was unbearable.

“Soon,” Shen Ye withdrew his gaze. “It will be within the next few days.”

A glimmer of light flashed in Mr. Han’s eyes.

Shen Ye said, “I’ll give you a talisman. Carry it with you and make sure not to lose it.”

Mr. Han respectfully accepted the talisman.

“Let’s contact each other again in half a month,” Shen Ye said.

By then, his spiritual soul would likely be repaired, and he would probably open the passage between the two realms with Ye Ze. But he couldn’t leave Mr. Han unattended, so he planned to stay a few more days to help Mr. Han settle the debts from their past lives.

Mr. Han didn’t think much about it. After thanking him, he left the café.

Xu Sisi looked down through the window on the second floor and watched Mr. Han’s car drive away. She whispered to Shen Ye, “Is that talisman for protection? IsMr. Han’s life in danger?”

“Yes,” Shen Ye smirked. “It’s to offset the karmic debt from their past lives. By exchanging lives, he can clear the debt. But in this life, Mr. Han has done quite a lot of good deeds, so I spared his life. The heavens won’t hold me accountable.”

Xu Sisi had probably guessed what was going on and didn’t ask further.

These are all trivial matters that Shen Ye didn’t care about.

After returning home, he went to the study to find Ye Ze, holding Ye Ze’s hand and saying, “Uncle, I want to discuss something important with you!”

Ye Ze chuckled at his tone and held his hand, saying, “Sure, go ahead.”

Shen Ye sat down beside him and said, “I have a feeling that something big will happen on the day of the wedding.”

Ye Ze didn’t speak and waited quietly for him to continue.

“My spiritual soul should be fully restored on the day of the wedding, and I don’t know if it will have any impact on this world…” Shen Ye put his hands around the man’s neck and said, “Let’s buy a villa in the outskirts and go there immediately after the wedding. We can say it’s for our honeymoon. I’ll set up the formation there in advance so that even if the world shatters on that day, the outside world won’t know about it.”

He was at his peak in the Nascent Soul stage, and his existence should not be allowed in this world. If the heavens sense his presence, they will definitely send down heavenly thunder.

By then, it will undoubtedly cause panic in the outside world. Being prepared in advance can reduce unnecessary trouble.

After listening, Ye Ze’s expression became solemn, and he tightly held Shen Ye’s hand, saying, “Okay, I’ll have someone buy a villa.”

Shen Ye kissed him affectionately and said, “Don’t worry, if my spiritual soul is restored, I will immediately suppress my cultivation. I’m just concerned that during the moment of my cultivation’s recovery, it will attract the attention of the heavens.”

Ye Ze hugged him and said softly, “I’ll be with you then.”

With the purple aura on him and the fact that Shen Ye and Little Golden Dragon said he was the darling of the heavens, having him by Shen Ye’s side would bring some security.

“Of course, you have to be with me,” Shen Ye playfully kissed him. “I won’t be separated from you!”

Ye Ze smiled softly, his eyes filled with tenderness. “Mm, we won’t be separated.”

Afterward, Ye Ze had someone go and buy the villa in the suburbs.

As long as they offered a high price, there would always be someone willing to sell the house. It was bought within a day.

Shen Ye then took Ye Ze to set up the formation.

They were busy for two days like this. When Shen Ye returned to Rongyuan, Xu Sisi told him that all the news online was about Zhang Duofu and Tan Shen.

“Is that so?” Shen Ye was very interested. He turned to kiss Ye Ze’s lips and said, “Uncle, you go and do your work. I’ll chat with Sister Sisi about the gossip.”

Ye Ze chuckled and pinched his face. “Go ahead.”

Shen Ye sat on the sofa, ready to listen.

Xu Sisi asked him to open Weibo and explained, “As expected, Tan Shen released the news of Zhang Duofu’s infidelity the next day. He even posted a few blurry photos where Zhang Duofu was seen having a meal alone with a middle-aged man with a big belly. That middle-aged man is the director of Zhang Duofu’s current TV series. Tan Shen implied that Zhang Duofu slept with the director to get the leading role.”

“Do the netizens believe it?” Shen Ye took out his phone and logged into Weibo.

After Chen Zi announced her retirement from the entertainment industry, Zhang Duofu was considered one of the actresses with the highest ratings. With her status, who would believe that she needed to rely on a director to get a leading role?

Now, many directors and investors were eager to work with her.

Xu Sisi: “Tan Shen’s fans believed it,  and even Zhang Duofu’s haters believed it. The haters include Ouyang Yi’s die-hard fans…”

Because they only chose to believe, those people had the opportunity to attack Zhang Duofu relentlessly.

Now they were all online, throwing dirty water at Zhang Duofu, and the insults were as harsh as they could be.

Shen Ye: “I understand. They actually know that it’s fake, but they want to tarnish Zhang Duofu’s reputation by manipulating the truth and brainwashing everyone.”

“That’s right,” Xu Sisi pointed to his phone. “Take a look. The internet is filled with insults towards Zhang Duofu now.”

Shen Ye opened Weibo, and at the top of the trending list was the hashtag #ZhangDuofuCheating#. He clicked on the comments and saw a fierce battle between haters. The haters were insulting Zhang Duofu with all sorts of derogatory remarks, while her fans were clarifying the situation and retaliating against the haters’ families.

“It’s really lively,” Shen Ye scrolled through the comments and asked curiously, “Hasn’t she fought back yet?”

“No,” Xu Sisi lowered her voice. “I heard she will take action tonight. We’ll have something exciting to watch then.”

Shen Ye smiled at her and said, “Then let’s wait and see.”

In the evening, Zhang Duofu indeed took action.

The first step was to clarify the situation. Zhang Duofu’s studio released a video of her having a meal with the director. In the video, not only Zhang Duofu and the director were present, but also her manager and other actors. They just happened to arrive first, creating an impression that she was on a date with the director.

The second step was the release of evidence of Tan Shen’s affair with the young actress. It was solid evidence, not just a few blurry photos, but high-definition pictures of the two of them kissing.

After releasing the photos, Zhang Duofu’s studio also wrote a statement. The gist of it was that Zhang Duofu had devoted two years of her sincere affection to the wrong person. Not only did it result in the man cheating on her, but he also turned the tables and defamed her. The man’s behavior was infuriating and despicable, and Zhang Duofu officially announced their breakup.

When this Weibo post was published, it shocked the onlookers.

[“Oh my, so it was the man who cheated and falsely accused the woman!”]

[“The high-definition kissing photos, I choose to believe Zhang Duofu.”]

[“The transaction failed, but honor remains. I can’t believe Tan Shen resorted to such dirty tricks. He’s such scum!”]

[“He’s definitely a scumbag.”]

However, some people questioned the authenticity of the photos, especially Tan Shen’s fans, who wished to tear Zhang Duofu apart.

[“Could these be photoshopped?”]

[“The photos look fake. They’re both celebrities. Why would they kiss without wearing masks in broad daylight?”]

[“This must be Zhang Duofu’s conspiracy. This woman is terrifying. How can my Tan Shen be her match? I heard she has someone backing her. Probably a sponsor helping her!”]

[“Zhang Duofu is a despicable bitch! She deserves to die!”]

Shen Ye shook his head. Sometimes, he really couldn’t understand some of these brainless fans. When they insulted other celebrities, their mouths were full of filth, but under their own idol’s Weibo, they were like little angels…

It was too contradictory.

At that moment, Shen Ye’s WeChat kept buzzing. When he checked, it was a small group chat created by a few of their friends, and Zhang Zhiru was spamming the group. She was cursing the scumbag while expressing concern for her idol.

Even through the screen, Shen Ye could feel Zhang Zhiru’s anger.

He calmly typed a message and clicked send: [Stay calm and keep watching. The real show is yet to come.]

Zhang Zhiru immediately asked, [Xiaoye, do you have any insider information? Is my idol feeling upset? Is she emotionally stable now? Please help me advise her. There’s no need for her to be sad over that scumbag…]

Shen Ye ignored Zhang Zhiru and continued scrolling through Weibo.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Zhang Duofu’s studio made another move.

This time, they released a video that was an extension of the photos. It showed Tan Shen passionately kissing the young actress, making them appear as a passionate couple.

The photos may have been photoshopped, but the video couldn’t possibly be fake!

Public opinion online instantly flipped, and netizens started sympathizing with and supporting Zhang Duofu.

[“There’s evidence in the video. Tan Shen can’t escape his infidelity.”]

[“Tan Shen is ungrateful and exposed. If it weren’t for dating Zhang Duofu, who would even know Tan Shen? He climbed up using his girlfriend’s fame and then immediately dumped her once he became popular. Not only that, he turned around and defamed her for cheating… Tsk tsk, his character is simply terrible. Zhang Duofu was also blind to choose such a scumbag.”]

[“You’re wrong, the one above. Tan Shen isn’t famous at all. He’s just a waste who managed to get several leading roles in the past two years because of Zhang Duofu. But none of his dramas became popular. He’s a flop!”]

Seeing Tan Shen being heavily criticized, his fans couldn’t take it. Tan Shen’s company even hired internet trolls, and soon the comments from netizens were refuted.

[“Tan Shen’s infidelity is undeniable, but Zhang Duofu also cheated. She said she had nothing to do with the director, but do we believe her? Let her ask if we believe her.”]

[“I don’t believe it anyway. I heard long ago that Zhang Duofu has someone backing her. Otherwise, how could she become so popular in every drama?”]

[“That’s right. Maybe her relationship with Tan Shen was just a cover, and her real purpose was to conceal her sponsor… When you think about it, Tan Shen’s infidelity makes sense.”]

[“Well, both of them cheated. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Let’s not talk about who’s right or wrong.”]

…

These comments were, of course, meant to establish Zhang Duofu’s reputation for infidelity. Tan Shen’s company had already made up their mind. Even if Tan Shen was ruined, they would drag Zhang Duofu down with him!

Moreover, the trolls and fans were spreading rumors that Zhang Duofu was financially supported by a sponsor and that Tan Shen was just a scapegoat, thereby, justifying Tan Shen’s infidelity.

The onlookers were momentarily confused.

Although Zhang Duofu had more and more convincing evidence, there were still many netizens who followed Tan Shen’s trolls’ line of thinking: What if Zhang Duofu also cheated? They said there’s no smoke without fire. Perhaps Zhang Duofu really had a sponsor behind her, otherwise, how could she become so popular in every drama?
