Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2760: Twins

Editor: Henyee Translations

Even a financial behemoth like Su Group could not easily affect this circle.

It was expected that Qiao Weiyang would take this opportunity to ask for an exorbitant price.

“I want Chengyu to leave the industry for five years,” Qiao Weiyang said calmly.

“Nonsense!” Director Cheng flew into a rage out of humiliation. Qiao Weiyang’s condition was too different from what he had imagined, causing him to feel very embarrassed.

Brother Tang was also stunned for a moment. He did not expect Qiao Weiyang to have such plans.

Chengyu was almost 30 years old. Although he had been given a lot of resources, he still hadn’t reached the level of traffic he wanted.

In other words, he was still not famous.

If his career was delayed for another five years, how old would he be when he made a comeback?

At that time, it would be even more difficult to start over.

Director Cheng suddenly stood up. “I don’t think you’re sincere in discussing anything, so don’t waste my time. Release the recording if you want! What credibility is there in a drunk person’s words?”

He could do public relations, so he had nothing to fear.

Seeing that Director Cheng was about to leave, Brother Tang panicked.

Qiao Weiyang didn’t even blink. She said calmly, “Indeed, public opinion can’t hurt Chengyu. But what about the law?”

Director Cheng slowed down and stopped.

“Director Cheng, Chengyu’s own words can indeed be defended by saying that he was drunk at the time.

“However, as an adult, Chengyu should’ve known what damage the ring on his finger could do to his acting partner. We’ve already obtained evidence for his ring. We’ve also done a check-up on Xu Wangzhi’s injury in the hospital. Director Cheng, you should’ve seen the information I sent you.

“In addition, as an actor from a family of directors, his first professional lesson should be on how to effectively protect himself and his partner when acting. This time, he caused the injury on Xu Wangzhi’s face, and it would take a long time for Xu Wangzhi to recover. We have reason to deduce that Chengyu deliberately hurt him.

“This doesn’t only affect Xu Wangzhi’s current career. It’s even more likely to affect his future career. If the crime of intentional harm causes serious consequences, the sentence will probably be between three and seven years. Let’s compromise and take the median value of five years.”

Qiao Weiyang said slowly.

Director Cheng’s facial muscles twitched.

He also knew that such an injury was very likely to cause Xu Wangzhi’s career to be terminated.

A small scar on an artiste’s face was enough to destroy them, let alone a scar like the one Chengyu had caused.

If they really fought a lawsuit, Chengyu did not have much chance of winning. The Cheng family could control public opinion and do public relations, but they could not go against the law.

Qiao Weiyang seemed to be able to read his thoughts. She raised her hand and sent a message to Director Cheng. [Post this on Weibo accordingly, and this matter will be considered privately settled.]

Director Cheng heard a ding on WeChat, picked it up, and understood.

“Okay, we’ll do as you say.”

In the end, Director Cheng agreed to Qiao Weiyang’s conditions for the sake of his son’s future.

That night, Director Cheng posted on Weibo: [In view of the fact that Chengyu injured an actor during an audition, as his parents, we feel that he should pay the price. Therefore, from today onward, all of Chengyu’s work and activities in the entertainment industry will be temporarily suspended. He’ll be sent to France to study. He’ll return to the entertainment industry in five years.]

These words caused an uproar.

Although Chengyu was not very popular, he had gained a group of fans.

The fans were very unconvinced. [Why? Why? Am I not going to see Cheng Yu for five years?]

[Oh my god, Director Cheng is too strict!]

[Boo-hoo, can you not be like this? The punishment of five years is really too great.]

[It’s true. I’ve already heard that Director Cheng has booked a plane ticket for Chengyu tomorrow.]

[What about his scenes and business?]

[With Director Cheng handling it, the people in the industry have to give him face, right?]

[In that case, Director Cheng is really strict and worth learning from. Let’s wait patiently for Chengyu to return.]

When Brother Tang saw the news, he couldn’t help but say happily, “That’s great! Director Cheng personally said that Chengyu will leave the industry for five years. At least we won’t have to worry during these five years. This is much more convenient than a lawsuit. If we really fought, I don’t know how many years it’d take to resolve.”

“If we really fought, Chengyu might not go to jail.” Lu Mingjue shrugged.

“Why? Isn’t there a legal price to pay for intentional harm?” Brother Tang asked.

“Think about it. Once there’s a lawsuit, it’ll definitely take a long time. Maybe before the trial begins, my sister-in-law will have already cured Wangzhi’s face.”

Only then did Brother Tang realize that this was indeed the case. The current method was still the most useful.

However, if it weren’t for Qiao Weiyang, Xu Wangzhi would have really left the industry.

Although most of the matter had been resolved, Qiao Weiyang was still thinking about this when she returned to Zhuojing Villa.

Xu Wangzhi’s face would indeed take time to recover, but the production team was already waiting for filming to start. They could not wait for him for that long.

Jingyun and Xiao Bao ran down the stairs.

The two little guys were having fun when Xiao Bao bumped into Qiao Weiyang’s arms.

Xiao Bao hit his head and reached out to touch it.

Qiao Weiyang bent down and rubbed his little head. “Does it hurt?”

“I’m fine!”

Seeing the stain on Xiao Bao’s face, Qiao Weiyang reached out and wiped it away from his face. Only then did she realize that he had gotten the ink from somewhere.

Looking at the mark on his fair and tender face, Qiao Weiyang suddenly had an idea.

Seeing her eyes suddenly light up, Xiao Bao smiled too.

“You mean to let Wangzhi work with his injury?” After hearing Qiao Weiyang’s words, Brother Tang was a little surprised. “No, after this incident, Wangzhi’s parents and grandparents are already very against him continuing to work. If he still has to work with his injury, I’m afraid…”

“I can do it,” Xu Wangzhi said firmly.

“Little Master…” Brother Tang wanted to persuade him again.

“I’ll talk to my family myself.” After saying that, Xu Wangzhi looked at Qiao Weiyang. “How can I continue working?”

“My current plan is to change the script directly. The character will have a scar on his face, which can also increase the character’s characteristics. As for the scenes when he wasn’t injured, we’ll shoot again after the scar on your face recovers.”

Xu Wangzhi’s eyes lit up. “Okay!”

After making the decision, Xu Wangzhi went to persuade his family.

Obviously, it would be difficult to convince his family, who did not agree to his acting career, to agree to this.

Finally, his family agreed.
