He Yu did not understand why she was so unlucky. She only remembered going out in the middle of the night once in the two months she was with Jiang Lian and yet, she was photographed.
The manager stared at the photo carefully for a long time. “If you don’t consider Jiang Lian’s situation, there are only two ways. One is to bet that Octotainment doesn’t have a clearer photo. You can say that it’s a misunderstanding and that it’s a problem with the angle of the photo. The other is to say that you’re filming. This is a photo from one of the scenes.”
However, it was obvious that Octotainment really wanted to mess with He Yu, so he probably had more than this little thing in their hands. They would probably attract even stronger criticism if they dared to refute. He Yu gritted her teeth. “What if we consider Jiang Lian’s situation?”
The manager knocked on the table. “Then we will need his cooperation. Tell him that he and his wife have already agreed to divorce, but they didn’t announce it to the public. The two of you are dating normally.”
“He has always been pretending to be a loving husband.” He Yu did not believe him. “Would Jiang Lian agree to such a request? Not to mention that his wife, Lin Shan, is not to be trifled with.”
“It’s better to use the excuse of hiding the divorce and faking a persona than to be exposed for having an affair. It’s better to have his career ruined.” The manager was certain. “As long as Jiang Lian doesn’t want to bear a huge compensation for the breaching of his contract and doesn’t want to leave the industry completely, he has to think of a way to deal with his wife.”
He Yu thought about it. This was indeed a solution, and Jiang Lian’s team’s thinking was similar. The two sides hit it off immediately. The only problem was Lin Shan. If they wanted this matter to succeed, the most important thing was to have Lin Shan’s active cooperation.
Lin Shan happened to be filming overseas at this moment. Ever since the news of her husband’s cheating was exposed, Jiang Lian had not been able to contact Lin Shan. Every time he called, no one picked up, including her manager and assistant. They were all in a state of loss of contact.
This actually revealed a dangerous signal, but Jiang Lian did not think that Lin Shan would really give up everything she had. Hence, he still sent the public relations plan to Lin Shan and asked for her cooperation even if Lin Shan did not pick up the phone.
The production team, which was thousands of kilometers away, was supposed to film a big night scene tonight, but the filming work had already been suspended at this moment. The atmosphere in the production team was not very good either. Because the husband of the female lead, Lin Shan, was exposed having an affair, Lin Shan was traumatized and had already hidden in her camper van.
There was a commotion on the set. At this moment, Lin Shan, who was sitting in the camper van, was not crying as others had guessed. She only looked at her phone screen calmly and was in a daze as she looked at the public relations plan sent by Jiang Lian.
“Shanshan, you have to think about this carefully. If you agree to Jiang Lian’s request, the good image you established previously will be reduced by half.” Her manager, Brother Sen, advised her earnestly, afraid that she would be persuaded by Jiang Lian and cooperate with his request.
“Brother Sen, don’t worry. I’m not that stupid.” Lin Shan put away her cell phone and looked at her face in the mirror. Under the soft light, she looked as beautiful as before, but Lin Shan knew very well how much effort and money she had spent to barely maintain this state at the age of 34.
Even so, without the enhancement of filters, it was still very easy to expose her actual age. Hence, she did not dare to make too many expressions when filming.
For an eye candy actress like her, her flowering period was over. Obviously, it was especially difficult for her acting career to reach another peak. Hence, in the face of her husband’s affair, Lin Shan quickly thought of how to maximize the benefits of this matter.
Since she couldn’t reach the top of her career, she had to grab more money. After thinking about this, she finally picked up Jiang Lian’s call.
“It’s possible for me to cooperate with you. What price can you pay in exchange?” Lin Shan asked Jiang Lian directly.
After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Lian had mixed feelings. Lin Shan was not angry but asked him for benefits instead. This made him, her husband, feel especially upset. However, Lin Shan was willing to cooperate with him and did not argue with him. This gave him a lifeline and saved him a lot of trouble.
“What do you want?” Jiang Lian couldn’t guess Lin Shan’s heart for the time being, so he could only follow her words.
Lin Shan did not beat around the bush with him. “I want all the assets under your name, including savings, real estate, and shares.”
“Impossible!” Jiang Lian refused flatly. These things were his assets after many years of development in the industry. If he gave them all to Lin Shan, it would be equivalent to working for nothing all these years.
