Chapter 150 Making pornographic rumors

"You bastards, what the hell are you spouting?"

In a villa in Beijing, Chen Kai stared at his computer screen and cursed loudly.

"Why are you so angry? Come and eat."

Chen Hong came out carrying the dishes and said.

“Ah Hong, look at these netizens spreading rumors about you.”

Chen Kai said fiercely.

"Make a yellow rumor about me?"

Chen Hong looked completely bewildered and walked behind Chen Kai, asking, "What were they saying?"

"look by youself."

Chen Kai pushed the computer aside.

Chen Hong bent down and looked at the news on the computer.

Young Chen Hong
"These people are outrageous. I've only met Director Cheng once, how can they say such things about me?" Chen Hong said with a dark face.

"Damn it, the internet is not a lawless zone for certain people. I must report this to the higher authorities and severely punish these rumor-mongers."

Chen Kai said angrily that spreading rumors about Chen Hong was essentially saying that he was being cuckolded.

If a man doesn't react, he'll be laughed at to death.

"Hey, Lao Chen, let's not get involved in this. The rumors about me online are clearly meant to create conflict between you and Cheng Sheng. If you get involved, won't you be used by someone with ulterior motives?" Chen Hong said with some concern, still quite rational.

"Hmph! Wu Baige really thinks he can control everything in the country. He's messed up public opinion like this. Sooner or later, someone will take care of him."

Wu Baige hired online trolls to smear Cheng Sheng, and anyone with a little power could find out. Chen Kaige also understood this.

"These are all low-level tactics. They can't compete with others in movies, so they resort to these methods. Old Chen, we should try to avoid contact with Wu Baige in the future," Chen Hong said.

Chen Hong shared the same thought as Chen Kaige. He also felt that Wu Baige's methods were somewhat shameless, and this time she had even implicated him. If given the chance, he would definitely take advantage of Wu Baige's misfortune.

Compared to Chen Kaige's anger after seeing the news, Feng Dapao was burning with rage.

Feng Dapao was a bit of a chauvinist, and he was furious when he saw his wife being framed like this.

They were even more dissatisfied with Cheng Sheng, who was being smeared, yet they themselves were implicated.

Of course, what he hated even more at that moment were those online trolls who spread false rumors.

"These bastards deserve to be slapped. If I knew who they were, I would definitely have someone kill them."

The confused Feng Dapao switched between speaking in a Northeastern accent and a Cantonese-accented Mandarin.

"Old Feng, getting angry is bad for your health. It's all nonsense. I don't know what these people are thinking, putting me and my junior brother together." Xu Fan was much more generous, not taking the rumors to heart at all, and even tried to comfort Feng Dapao.

Xu Fan entered the Central Academy of Drama in 88, and she and Cheng Sheng were classmates. It is correct for her to call Cheng Sheng her junior brother.

The rumors about Cheng Sheng, Xu Fan, and Chen Hong are not widely believed, mainly because their ages don't quite make sense.

Feng Dapao certainly didn't believe it, but rumors, as they've been passed around, have always given him the feeling that he's been cuckolded.

"Cheng Sheng and Wu Baige got into a fight and accidentally hurt us. It's outrageous! Can't these two just focus on filming? They're always resorting to underhanded tactics." Despite his understanding, Feng Dapao was still unwilling to be used as a pawn.

"You can't blame Cheng Sheng for this. He's always been on the defensive. For example, when you had a conflict with Cheng Sheng, it was you who attacked him, and that's why he turned around and attacked you."

Upon hearing his wife speak well of Cheng Sheng, Feng Dapao said unhappily, "Duo'er's mom, how are we wrong? When I criticized him, wasn't that for his own good?"

Feng Dapao used different names for Xu Fan on different occasions.

In public or when talking to others, Feng Dapao would respectfully address Xu Fan as "Teacher Xu," demonstrating respect for his partner's profession.

At home, Feng Dapao would call Xu Fan "Duo'er's Mom," which was based on Xu Fan's status as a stepmother.

When working on set, Feng Xiaogang habitually called Xu Fan "Fanzi," an affectionate nickname that suited the relaxed atmosphere on set.

"Look at what you're saying! What do you mean by 'for his own good'? He's already an adult."

Xu Fan rolled her eyes at her husband. How could she not understand that her husband was jealous of Cheng Sheng's remarkable achievements at such a young age?

"Let's not talk about these gossips. Filming for 'The Banquet' is scheduled to start in September. Have the actors been cast yet?" Xu Fan said.

“You’ve made your choice. Aren’t you the producer? How come you don’t even know this?” Feng Dapao glanced at Xu Fan and said.

"What do I know? There are three steamy love scenes in the script. Would Zhang Ziyi agree to that?" Xu Fan said casually.

She knew Feng Dapao too well; he was a complete scumbag.

They say you shouldn't wash your dirty linen in public, but he's always flirting with those actresses while filming movies. Does he think she's blind?!

There's also that female host named Shen Xing, who has been present at over twenty events since last year. She hosted nineteen of them. The two of them flirting on stage has long been a topic of gossip among people in the industry.

She didn't reveal this secret because of her identity as 'Mrs. Feng'.

Xu Fan is truly an extraordinary person.

Less than a year after she was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, she met director Tian Zhuangzhuang. Unexpectedly, she became the female lead in Tian Zhuangzhuang's film "Special Operating Room" that same year. It was a case of things coming and going quickly!
This film, made in 1988, was delayed for more than a decade before its release, by which time Xu Fan had already experienced the full spectrum of emotions from first love, ex-boyfriends, and love triangles.

Judging from these three relationships, these three men made their dazzling appearances on Xu Fan's life stage at the most crucial plot points!

In her sophomore year, Xu Fan began to actively pursue her acting teacher, Wang Zhiwen.

At that time, Wang Zhiwen was already somewhat famous. Many people who watched his and Jiang Shan's on-screen works felt that the two should be a couple in real life, just like a perfect couple in a TV series.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhiwen's other half turned out to be Xu Fan. The two of them had already made their relationship public and were living together!

Although Wang Zhiwen had an extensive network of connections, like a super magnet, he had no intention of helping Xu Fan at all.

Once, when Xu Fan returned from a business trip, Wang Zhiwen had already neatly placed her things at the door. There was no argument or falling out, and they didn't even say goodbye. Their love quietly came to an end.

Then Xu Fan met Feng Dapao, which happened to be during the most depressed time of her life.

Unfortunately, Feng Dapao had a wife at the time.

Xu Fan endured eight years of forbearance.

When Xu Fan first teamed up with Feng Xiaogang, Feng's legal wife was still sitting there leisurely. Xu Fan waited for a full eight years for a formal status, which was like long-distance running training!
The final result was exactly what she wanted, but she also understood that maintaining her position would not be an easy task, so Xu Fan immediately transformed into a "husband-protecting general".
