One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 175: Chapter 152 He Loves Her So Much

How Ye Zhaoyu treated Tong Simeng was crystal clear to everyone.

When he first entered the scene, Ye Zhaoyu captured a large number of fans with his looks right from his first appearance.

Fans, enamored with his looks, began calling him “husband” one after another.

Yet, Ye Zhaoyu immediately posted on Weibo, stating that neither he nor his girlfriend liked everyone calling him that, and then, he officially announced Tong Simeng.

At that time,

Many thought Ye Zhaoyu was ungrateful, and the fans who had just started following him for his good looks started to leave.

His public image took a serious hit for a while.

But Ye Zhaoyu didn’t care; he resolutely chose Tong Simeng, firmly protecting her.

Afterwards, he secured numerous fans with his talented performances in match after match.

It could be said,

Were it not for Tong Simeng, Ye Zhaoyu’s public image wouldn’t have been so negatively affected in the beginning, and his popularity might even be higher now.

But Ye Zhaoyu chose Tong Simeng, and in front of his fans, he didn’t hide his defense of her at all; the fans could only gradually accept it, even beginning to protect Tong Simeng while supporting Ye Zhaoyu.

It could be said,

Ye Zhaoyu truly loved Tong Simeng beyond measure.

But what about now?

How did Tong Simeng treat Ye Zhaoyu?

She got involved with the owner of Tianxing Club!

This was an all-round, multi-faceted strike against Ye Zhaoyu.

Someone stealthily turned the camera towards Ye Zhaoyu.

And then, everyone saw the numb, dazed look on Ye Zhaoyu’s face.

He seemed to want to smile, to tell everyone that it was alright, that none of it mattered.

But the way he smiled had no difference from crying.

The fans, watching this, felt their own hearts ache.

Even those who weren’t fans felt a pang of sympathy when they saw Ye Zhaoyu like this.

Tong Simeng, you’re really too cruel!

The huge commotion brought Yue Heng back to his senses.

Yue Heng stood up somewhat dazedly.

He didn’t know what had come over him; he had completely lost control just now and had done something to Tong Simeng…

“Zhaoyu, it’s not what you think it is!” Tong Simeng’s face was pale as she pulled up her clothes and, not caring about the others, ran to Ye Zhaoyu’s side for the first time.

She reached out to pull on Ye Zhaoyu.

But Ye Zhaoyu just numbly avoided her.

“Zhaoyu, it’s not like that,” Tong Simeng cried like a pear blossom bathed in rain, “it’s really not what you’re imagining, Yue Heng and I are innocent.”

Innocent?

How could this be innocent?

The live stream room was in an uproar.

“I’ve seen shameless, but I’ve never seen this level of shamelessness! Tong Simeng is really redefining the meaning of innocence!”

“Seeing Knight like this, I feel like crying too. How desperate he must be feeling now!”

“Yue Heng and Tong Simeng, the scumbag and the cheap woman, are a match made in heaven! Everybody, just stay away from Knight, okay!”

“Ah, my heart is breaking, that’s my baby, and his sincere love is trampled on like this! Damn it, Tong Simeng deserves to die.”

In the room,

Ye Zhaoyu looked intently at Tong Simeng: “Innocent? Fine, I’ll wait for your explanation.”

Ye Zhaoyu watched Tong Simeng calmly, his eyes seemingly saying, come on, explain it then.

Ye Zhaoyu’s appearance now was one-third an act, and all his fans knew that his acting skills were never that great.

Seventy percent of his demeanor at the moment was genuine emotion.

He knew what he had to do,

Let go,

and get revenge.

Knowing it is one thing, but he would carry it out as well.

But.

Heartache is still heartache.

After all, it was so many years of feelings, how could they just be let go on a whim.

It was precisely because it was genuine pain that the live streaming seemed especially authentic.

Ye Zhaoyu’s heart was at peace. He had never expected that one day, he would scheme to such an extent, using his own pain as a bargaining chip.

This was probably, growth.

Ye Zhaoyu asked Tong Simeng to explain.

Everyone was waiting for Tong Simeng to explain.

Tong Simeng looked at camera after camera, her eyes brimming with a glint of despair.

Why… why did so many people suddenly come in…

If it were just Ye Zhaoyu, she might have tried to get by with acting cute and deceitful. But now, in front of so many cameras, she still needed to save face!

“Zhaoyu, it’s really just a misunderstanding,” Yue Heng said, his face also looking quite ugly.

At this moment.

He was immensely annoyed at himself, he didn’t know why he hadn’t restrained himself and actually did this to Tong Simeng at such a time… This was truly not his style.

He did indeed like Tong Simeng and really wanted to be with her.

But now.

The most crucial thing was to win the competition.

Yue Heng had repeatedly urged Tong Simeng to break up, which was actually a strategic retreat.

Before winning the competition, no matter how painful it was, he had to keep Tong Simeng by Ye Zhaoyu’s side. Only then could he extract more information from her, perhaps even critical information.

He loved Tong Simeng, but only by winning the champion could he be with her openly and honorably!

But now.

This incident had disrupted all his plans.

His relationship with Tong Simeng couldn’t stand the light of day, and exposing it rashly would only put him at a complete disadvantage.

Thinking of this, Yue Heng’s face looked so bad that it was unavoidable!

Now, only by stabilizing Ye Zhaoyu did he stand a chance to turn the tables.

As Yue Heng spoke, his mind raced, desperately thinking of how to explain.

But.

How could this be explained?

He was caught passionately kissing someone else’s girlfriend in a room that someone else had booked for her.

Was there room for explanation?

“Oh? Let’s hear it, Mr. Yue,” Ye Zhaoyu treated them equally and turned to Yue Heng, waiting for his explanation.

Yue Heng said in a slowed tone, “Simeng and I are just friends. I heard she was here and came to see her. Just now, I accidentally tripped, and that’s how… that scene happened. Simeng and I are innocent.”

Tong Simeng, as if clutching a lifeline, nodded her head frantically.

Ye Zhaoyu’s expression was numb, “Is that so?”

He didn’t seem to express disbelief.

Hope flickered on Yue Heng and Tong Simeng’s faces.

The excuse sounded nonsensical.

But!

Wasn’t Ye Zhaoyu a lovesick man?

What if… he believed it?

Looking at the shamelessness of these two, some people couldn’t hold back.

“Don’t believe them! Just at the entrance, I saw them clutching each other inseparably!”

“Right, I even took a photo. These two are so blatant in public, they must be even more unrestrained in private!”

“They definitely have been hooking up for a long time.”

“And look at the way they are, does it look accidental? Can an accident cause lips to swell from kissing, can an accident pull clothes off?”

“Psh!”

The two were simply too damaging to public morals; the crowd on-site cursed them, and the netizens in the live stream were even more astonishing in their reactions.

Without Ye Zhaoyu having to say anything, these two had already turned
