Chapter 08

After finishing the plaza recording, we returned to our room.

I received a message on my phone from Dingbao’s father, Leng Feng’s assistant.

“Sister Wei, President Leng was furious about what happened today. He hired dozens of law firms.”

“We have hundreds of people working overtime overnight, taking screenshots and saving evidence from the live broadcast replays.”

“President Leng is preparing to sue them all one by one.”

“Sister Wei, it’s not my place to say, but you really have kept too low of a profile.”

“A place as snobbish as the entertainment industry typically praises the high and steps on the low.”

“If you don’t reveal your true identity, you’ll be bullied by the blind.”

“Even some netizens are the same, they are exceptionally lenient toward rich people.”

“Even as an outsider, I know that many new-generation stars are building up ‘wealthy family’ personas for themselves.”

“That Tao Tao who came back from Korea, his big mouth caused who knows how much trouble.”

“But his dad said he was leaving his two hundred billion company all to Tao Tao, and the netizens instantly shut up.”

“Actually, everyone knows his family doesn’t have that kind of money, but society is just that realistic nowadays.”

“If you hadn’t chosen a hidden marriage, and if your daily expenses weren’t so simple and frugal, would you have been bossed around by that drama queen mother and son these past few days?”

“Would Dingbao and you have been cursed out by netizens?”

“If you announced that you are President Leng’s official wife, and that Dingbao is the genuine sole heir to a wealthy family worth hundreds of billions.”

“Just look at how everyone would react.”

“I’m afraid everyone would say Sister Wei is true to herself, down-to-earth, a civilian-style wealthy daughter-in-law.”

“And Dingbao would be the adorable and cute little domineering CEO.”

“If anyone else made things difficult for you mother and son, they’d be cursed to death by the netizens.”

…

Leng Feng’s assistant truly deserved to be a chairman’s executive assistant handpicked from thousands, with a multi-million annual salary.

She said everything Leng Feng wouldn’t say, and she convinced me completely.

I really had kept too low a profile before.

Because I came from an ordinary background and worked very hard during my student days.

That was when I met Leng Feng, the wealthy heir pretending to be a commoner.

When I was about to graduate, he took me to meet his parents.

Only then did I learn his true identity.

But I was originally a discarded daughter of a wealthy family myself.

My mother suffered a huge blow because of it and died of depression while I was in college.

Therefore, I adamantly refused to enter the Leng family or hold a public wedding with Leng Feng.

To the point that even now, everyone still thought Leng Feng was a bachelor diamond in the rough.

Constantly attracting bees and butterflies.

Thinking about it now, my self-proclaimed independence from the Leng family was just self-deception.

The reason I could achieve some success in the film industry now while remaining untainted by its mud.

Was entirely reliant on Leng Feng working behind the scenes, pulling strings with big shots in the entertainment circle.

While simultaneously demanding they keep my identity a secret.

Coupled with the fact that Dingbao was verbally abused by these unscrupulous netizens today.

To give Dingbao a carefree childhood.

I secretly made a decision in my heart.
