Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Director Zheng, who was the other person in the photos spread in several social media platforms, had no idea about what happened that night. He was currently texting his wife before rescheduling all the scenes that were supposedly set to shoot in the coming days.

Since the script was changed and Ran Xueyi's lines and scenes were reduced a lot, the first day of filming did not include her in it. Originally, it was Ran Xueyi who had several scenes to shoot on that day, but since the changes were made, the other characters in the drama had to replace her.

It was long after dinner that some of the crew in the drama went back to work with Director Zheng to set the new schedule that one of them procrastinated and looked down on their phones and saw the post.

He exclaimed, "Woah! These people are really shameless."

Hearing him cry out while everyone else was busy, some of the other crews were clearly dissatisfied and reprimanded him.

"Hey, who said you could use your phone when we're busy rescheduling and recreating the plans for the props?" one person said.

The man who exclaimed in the beginning looked a bit embarrassed since what they said was true. But his gossiping soul couldn't calm down and wanted to share what he saw in his phone so he reached his hand with the phone and let them see the photos he was just looking at now.

The others wanted to stop him and tell him to refrain from messing around, but when they saw the photos, they became silent and also looked intently at the photos.

Director Zheng also noticed them, but didn't scold them for using their working time to look at their phones. Actually, he was also curious about what they were looking at and moved his chair over to have a look.

The first few seconds his eyes fell on the photos, he wanted to go along with the others and laugh, but then, his body froze when he saw a familiar mole on the inner leg of the man in the photo.

Ultimately after seeing that mole, he felt his soul leaving his body as he also recognized that room in the photo.

It was the room he and Gu Jiao were in that night!

He didn't want to believe it, but the photos were a hard thing to ignore especially since he was very clear about the mole on his inner legs since he was almost bullied because of it during his teen years and even wished to undergo a surgical procedure to slice off that mole.

How could this happen? Who did it?

These questions spiraled inside his mind as he continued to look at the photos that the others were laughing about.

"Woah, this young woman is amazing! I'm impressed she could actually sleep with someone with that wrinkly body," commented the assistant director.

One of the cameramen laughed. "Yeah, right. I bet you'd sleep with an old man too."

The assistant director thought about it for a second and shrugged. "Well, if that man can give me enough money, maybe I can reconsider and sleep with him too."

"Hey, hey, aren't you taking this thing too seriously?"

The others laughed at their conversation. It was only Director Zheng, who didn't laugh and looked extremely pale as he listened to the other's speak without thinking.

Actually, the truth behind the reason why he agreed quickly when Gu Jiao told him to change the script and delete most of the female lead's scenes was because of this. Two nights before he contacted Scriptwriter Chun, he met with Gu Jiao after that latter asked to meet with him to ask him about something that concerns the drama.

As the chief director, Director Zheng wanted to perform his best to grab this year's Best Television Director award during the Golden Leaf Award. He was also not this amoral and corrupt that he would mindlessly do something that could erase the true essence of the drama he wanted to direct.

However, after he got drunk and slept with Gu Jiao, everything changed. Gu Jiao threatened to tell him wife about what happened and also tell everyone that he r*ped her. It was inaccurate and ridiculous since he never forced her to sleep with her and it was her who made him drink so much that night.

But since the deed was done, he could only bend to her wishes since Gu Jiao's threats were truly scary since no matter if they did it because they're drunk and too confused, once words that he forced her to sleep with him were to spread, his life would be over. Besides, she promised to give him three million yuan if he followed her wishes.

Thus, he agreed to her every request. First was to add more scenes to her character, the second female lead, and promote her more so she could gain everyone's attention. The second was to delete almost all of the female lead's scenes and NG her a lot while Ran Xueyi filming her scenes so she could be humiliated in front of everyone.

"Director Zheng, are you okay?" the assistant director saw how pale his face looked and she asked in concern.

Director Zheng snapped out of his thoughts and suddenly ran out of the studio.

The others saw his figure disappear quickly and then looked at each other with a confused expression.

When Director Zheng stepped into the hotel, he never expected that he would bump into someone he knew inside the elevator.

Gu Jiao and Albert also didn't expect that they would encounter each other so soon. But the timing was perfect since they also wanted to talk to Director Zheng since this issue involved him.

"Director Zheng, are you here to look for Gu Jiao?" Albert saw how dark Director Zheng's expression was and stepped forward to shield his artist from him.

Director Zheng was breathless after running for a few minutes.

"Were you the one who released the photos?" Gu Jiao stared daggers at Director Zheng.

Director Zheng gritted his teeth and angrily scoffed. "I was going to ask you the same question... but since you're clueless as I am, I guess you're not the one who released it."

"If it's not you then, who is it?" Gu Jiao said. "The only people who knew about what happened that night are in this elevator."

Director Zheng looked away and thought about it. He was running back to the hotel to confront Gu Jiao about this, but surprisingly, she also had no clue and was accusing him of spreading it. All of them knew that if this kind of thing was spread around, their careers and life would be over so they wouldn't think of stabbing each other without gaining anything.

Then, who did it?

At this moment, the person they were looking for was eating donuts inside her room.

Ran Xueyi propped her chin on her hand and took a bite from her donut.

Zhao Fei walked back inside the room after making a call and said, "As you expected, someone already made a move and took down the photos."

"What's your next plan?"

Ran Xueyi slowly chewed her food. Her eyes were bright while she happily smiled as if she wasn't about to destroy somebody's life forever.

"Contact Director Zheng's wife and Gu Jiao's support. Give them a snippet of the video so they can enjoy it too."
