Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 803  An actor's acting

The storm had died down.

At least for a few long minutes as if a funeral was going on. The silence was deafening. There wasn't anything said about himself or Chyou in his statement. He directly hammered upon the concept of friendship. It was an unexpected stance that left many at a loss.

Even so another storm soon erupted in response to Yating's response.

"Apparently Cheng Yin's fans are offended even more now," Sun Jiang raised her brow. "People don't like being stepped on their tail."

Xiang scoffed. "Of course, they will feel slapped. You easily judge others but you don't like it when others judge you. Nobody likes to be on that side of the spotlight."

The pounding heart in Chyou's chest was finally calming down. She knew they hadn't done anything wrong, yet she had felt losing that confidence. But his statement rejuvenated that faith.

Sun Jiang asked, "Are you feeling a little better now?"

She smiled. "Yeah."

"Why was sis worried anyway? It's not her problem if there is a problem in people's eyesight," he rolled his eyes. "By the way, did you hear from Cheng Yin?"

She stiffened. Her gaze lowered in response.

Sun Jiang shook her head in disappointment. "I am sorry to say Chyou, but it should have been Cheng Yin who should have come out with a statement first. You both are dating."

"He must be busy," she pursed her lips.

"There is a hurricane, cyclone, storm, tsunami, everything going on here and he is busy? In what? What is so important now?"

Just then another notification popped up on the screen that mentioned the devil's name. Chyou quickly opened it and saw that his manager, Qiao Kang, uploaded a small video in which Cheng Yin was addressing his fans.

"This is very heartbreaking to hear. There has been some grave misunderstanding and it saddens me to see that everybody is targeting my girlfriend like that. Gu Yating is a wonderful man and Chyou and he are such good friends. It's disappointing to see that people judge their pure friendship like it's something sinful.

But I don't care what everybody thinks. Chyou has always been there for me and I will always be there for her as well. If my fans can support my friendships, then I would want you all to support Chyou too. She has always been not only a stellar actor but a stellar person as well. With a pure and bubbly heart who always wishes and thinks well of everyone.

A woman who deeply respects relationships as her would never even think of cheating. So please. It's my humble request to my fans to not drag her name in the mud any further."

With that, Cheng Yin bowed and the video ended.

Chyou's dim eyes lit up with joy, and she grinned at Sun Jiang as if saying that she was wrong.

Sun Jiang smiled. "He isn't an A-listed actor for nothing. He performed phenomenally."

Chyou glared at her, hurt. "You think he was acting?"

"If you think he wasn't acting being a Queen yourself, then I pity your future career." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"..."

"Also, I liked the crispy and on-point version of Gu Yating's rather than Cheng Yin's long version of your defense. He should have just told his fans to shut up instead of pleading with them to stop bothering you. That's a weak and powerless stance!"

Chyou released a helpless sigh. "You have a problem with everything that he does."

"Well because everything he does is a problem," she sneered.

"Fine! You might not appreciate him, but I do."

She grabbed her coat and stormed off her room in a puff.

Xiang pouted. "Don't bully my sister like that."

"She needs somebody to show her the right way."

Sun Jiang raised her brow. "You…don't seem in Cheng Yin's favor."

He shrugged. "I am not."

"Then why aren't you saying anything?"

He smiled. "Because she needs to see the right way with her own eyes."

—

Yin splashed bouts of cold water on his face one after the other. His haywire and angry breaths refused to calm down.

"Fuck!" he screamed out loud.

"Yin? Are you okay there?" Qiao Kang knocked on the door.

"Do you think I am okay!? I am fucking not!"

He opened the door and met his manager, red-faced.

"Calm down, Yin. You did a good job with the video."

He angrily laughed. "Did I have any choice left with me!? I cannot believe…"

He angrily walked outside and kicked the table hard. "I cannot believe that Chyou would tell Sun Jiang about my drug addiction! And to top it all, she even threatened you with it! For God's sake, the President knows now!"

He still remembered how he got the shock of his life when he personally received a call from the Stellar agency's president. The President's voice was not so happy to say the least. He was disappointed and furious at Yin upon learning his addiction. It was a grave matter for an actor like Cheng Yin to be involved in something illegal and if it came to light then Stellar would come into a crisis.

The President chewed his ears off that Yin cannot absolutely be seen doing anything suspicious in relation to drugs or there would be grim consequences.

That was part one reason for Yin's fury. Chyou leaking the secret to Sun Jiang and then the President's outrage.

The second part was the pictures themselves. He defended Chyou in his video but his heart raged differently.

"We were on a date last night, Qiao Kang! And right after our date, she goes to meet Gu Yating in a club, eats ice cream with him and enjoys a fireworks festival with him!?" Angry nerves popped on his forehead. "So I wonder if she considered the evening she spent with me as the date or with Gu Yating!"

Qiao Kang sighed. "Look, you need to calm down, Yin. You cannot go outside looking like that, especially in front of Zhu Chyou-"

"Yin."

A soft knock was heard outside and they stiffened as they recognized Chyou's voice from outside.
