The host ruthlessly crushes scum in the small world

"Good! Good!"

Director Li took a breath before speaking.

"It was Wu Xiqi who called."

Wu Xiqi is Lin's mother's name. Lin Chuyun wasn't surprised to hear this, since she had already guessed it.

"So it's for you?"

"No, no, no, I had no intention of doing anything to you. She asked me to do something, but I just needed money..."

Lin Chuyun was a little surprised to hear this news. She thought Director Li was that kind of person. Seeing that Lin Chuyun's expression didn't change, Director Li continued speaking.

"I owed some money, and she approached me saying that if I helped her, she could pay off the debt for me."

"Do you know what the consequences will be for me if you stay here?"

Director Li didn't expect Lin Chuyun to ask this question so bluntly.

"I...know, but I can't help it, I...really need the money."

Looking at Director Li, Lin Chuyun thought about what she had learned from her investigation. Director Li was good in every way, serious about his work, but his only flaw was that he had become addicted to gambling, and it was completely out of control.

After Li's wife found out, she forgave him once or twice, but Li never changed. His wife initially wanted a divorce, but Li cried and said he would change. However, he only changed to gambling secretly and was afraid to tell his family when he needed money.

"So, calling you here this time wasn't so simple, was it?"

"They'll be back later..."

"What will happen to your wife if you do this?"

"They said they would prove that it was you... who seduced me..."

Lin Chuyun burst out laughing. She hadn't expected them to use the same trick again, even going so far as to "catch her in the act," which was clearly intended to permanently humiliate her.

......

"Don't worry, we'll go make that wretched girl kneel down and apologize to you right away."

It was Lin's mother's voice, and there were several other people in it.

"boom--"

The intruder kicked the door open, and Lin's mother was still saying something.

"I'm so sorry, it's my fault for not managing that wretched girl Chu Yun well, please don't..."

But upon seeing the situation inside, they immediately fell silent. There was a group of people inside, including Director Li, Lin Chuyun's agent, and even other crew members. The female lead from the drama was also there...

Just when everyone was puzzled, especially Lin's mother and Lin Xi, it was clear that...

What were you just saying?

Lin Chuyun's voice came from behind. Hearing the familiar voice, Lin's mother immediately turned around and saw someone who shouldn't have been there.

Lin Chuyun looked at everyone with tears in her eyes, and everyone understood the meaning behind Lin's mother's words.

"After you left, I ran into Lü Tang and the others, so I invited them to come along. What's this?"

"It's not just you and my family..."

Lin Chuyun looked at the stylishly dressed woman beside her with a puzzled expression.

"What are you talking about? Who is that person in your household? Mrs. Lin specifically asked me to come over today."

Lin Chuyun's gaze shifted to her mother, who was surprised that Lin Chuyun hadn't followed her wishes. It was Lin Xi who lost her composure first.

"Director Li entered this restaurant shortly after you! Those people might be covering for you."

"What are you talking about? How can I control these people?"

Lin Xi had no intention of letting the matter rest; instead, she continued to speak.

"Maybe you saw the news online and that's why you called them here!"

Lin Chuyun hurriedly took out her phone, and after seeing the message on it, her hands began to tremble. The message read:

"A female celebrity surnamed Lin and a director went to the same restaurant!"

"It's been reported that this actress had an affair with the same director. Is her return this time for true love?"

Lin Chuyun pointed at her mother, her whole body trembling.

"Why won't you explain for me? Why?! You're the one who invited me here!"

Lin Chuyun was asking on behalf of the original owner, who really wanted to know why she wasn't being helped to explain!

Lin's mother actually tried to slap Lin Chuyun, but Lin Chuyun easily dodged it, as if she had been completely heartbroken by her mother.

"So you deliberately arranged for me to be alone with Director Li? You just think I'm an eyesore to your own daughter, don't you?! You want to use some tricks to completely ruin my reputation?!"

Lin's mother looked at Lin Chuyun in surprise, seemingly not expecting Lin Chuyun to directly question her.

Seeing Lin's mother's bewildered expression, those around her knew better than to be fools, especially those who had managed to get to where they were now; everyone had their own agenda. Unable to bear the stares of those around her, Lin Xi ran off, and her mother immediately chased after her.

Now only Director Li's wife and her entourage remained at the door. Director Li's wife, looking embarrassed, pulled Lin Chuyun up and gently wiped away her tears.

"Excuse me, I thought... Li Zhi wasn't leaving yet!"

Director Li hurriedly got up, and soon almost everyone in the private room had left, leaving only the female lead and An Su.

After everyone had left, Lin Chuyun went into the private room, closed the door, and then sat down in a chair, a smile appearing on her face.

"Sister Chuyun"

Lin Chuyun looked at the female lead, Lü Tang. Lin Xi had debuted with a campus drama, and Lü Tang was originally supposed to be the female lead in this drama. However, just before filming was about to begin, Lü Tang had an accident and was pushed down the stairs.

If it were just a physical injury, it might have been possible to continue acting, but Lu Tang's face was slashed, with a scar almost running across his entire face. However, there were no security cameras in the stairwell and no one was around, so the matter was ultimately dropped.

Although the production team was delayed, they didn't demand breach of contract penalties from Lü Tang despite her injury. However, Lü Tang's company couldn't possibly keep a disfigured actress, but her contract stipulated that her condition constituted a breach of contract, requiring her to pay a huge penalty. Otherwise, they would have no choice but to blacklist her.

"Thank you, Sister Chuyun. If it weren't for you..."

After Lin Chuyun's company got on track, she observed the situation here and found Lü Tang. By then, Lü Tang and the company had dragged things out long enough, and the company wanted to squeeze every last drop of value out of Lü Tang.

"It's nothing. You've been a great help this time. Thank you. You can go back now."

Lu Tang nodded to An Su and left. Only after Lin Chuyun and An Su were left did Lin Chuyun speak.

"Was it all recorded?"

An Su nodded, and looking at Lin Chuyun, she still spoke up to comfort her.

"It's alright, you have Young Master Shen now, you don't need to care about these people."

"I was just too tired from acting. It's true that not everyone can do acting. I'm truly the chosen one."

Listening to Lin Chuyun's self-praise, An Su felt that her previous words of comfort were completely unnecessary; how could she possibly be sad?

"Alright, let's go back first. Oh, and take the rest of the food with you, don't waste it!"

When Lin Chuyun got home, she took out her phone and looked at the posts from passersby about the restaurant incident that day, and then read the comments from netizens.

"Didn't you want me to go through what happened last time? This time, you guys try it first."
