Chapter 22
At this time, fearing that she might disturb him if she replied, Wen Tang did not respond to his messages.
It wasn’t until the next morning when she was on her way to the film set that she slowly replied.
【Candy: Senior Brother, I was too busy yesterday to look at my phone.】
After sending that simple message, Wen Tang suddenly had a bold idea.
So, she started typing again on her phone.
【Candy: Senior Brother, you didn’t chat with me all day yesterday. Did you miss me?】
She sent the message and waited for a reply.
Soon after, a short reply came back.
【Y: Hmm.】
Seeing this, Wen Tang couldn’t help but smile broadly.
【Candy: Since you missed me, I have to confess too.】
【Candy: I missed you as well.】
……
Due to some hiccups on the road, Wen Tang was in a great mood all day. Even when performing emotional scenes, she got into character quickly and well, earning praise from the director.
The progress in the morning was remarkably fast.
Having not had enough sleep the night before, Wen Tang got into the car after lunch, intending to take a nap. However, before she could even reach the car, there was a commotion among the crowd of onlookers.
“Let me in, don’t stop me! My daughter is inside! Wen Tang, Wen Tang! She is my daughter!”
Wen Haifeng was trying hard to break through the security circle, shouting through the crowd, “Wen Tang! Tang Tang!! Come here, Daddy came to see you!!”
The commotion was so great that all eyes turned towards the disturbance.
Wen Tang, too tired to notice at first, was alerted by Ke Xin and Yang Yang, who recognized Wen Haifeng and were shocked by his direct approach to the film set.
“Tang Tang, Tang Tang!”
She quickly grabbed Wen Tang’s arm and pointed in the direction.
“Wen… your dad… he’s here! He came to the film set, Tang Tang!!”
From that end, Wen Haifeng’s voice continued to shout, becoming increasingly absurd, “Tang Tang, Daddy came to see you! Just one look, only one look! Tang Tang, Daddy raised you, and now you’re famous and successful. How come you ignore me? Don’t you recognize me? Even if you don’t recognize me, I’m still your father!! Wen Tang!!!…”
As is well known, Wen Tang comes from a single-parent family; her parents are divorced. Her mother, Liu Meifen, has always acted as Wen Tang’s manager, handling all matters related to Wen Tang’s career. Wen Tang’s father has never appeared in the media and remains a mysterious figure.
Now, a middle-aged man suddenly appears, claiming to be Wen Tang’s father. On closer inspection, there are indeed some resemblances in their features. More importantly, his accusations imply that Wen Tang, after becoming famous, has neglected her filial duties and refuses to acknowledge him, openly accusing her of being ungrateful!
The onlookers, who were originally just watching the filming, now seem to sense the juicy drama unfolding.
Big news!
Many people have already started taking photos with their phones.
If this is true, what they’ve captured is first-hand news.
If it’s a deliberate scam… It must be a scam!
Wen Tang’s father?
…Him?
Impossible!!!!
But that doesn’t stop everyone from enjoying the spectacle.
The scene quickly became chaotic. People looked at Wen Haifeng with suspicion, disgust, and disdain. What could be the motive for targeting a celebrity? Is he mentally unstable? Is he trying to extort money? Has he gone mad over money?!
In such a situation, it took less than two minutes for Wen Haifeng to be thrown out by security.
However, Wen Haifeng was persistent and shameless. Before long, he sneaked back in when no one was paying attention. This happened several times, and soon even the crew members were irritated with him.
Among the spectators were many fans and passersby who took numerous photos and videos. Some immediately posted them on social media.
The most discussed post was from a bystander with only a few hundred followers.
“Just heard the ‘Hear Your Heart’ crew is filming on Gulou Street. I happened to be around and free, so I went to check it out. Instead, I stumbled upon a bizarre incident—a man kept claiming he was Wen Tang’s father. It’s like he has some big issue!”
Accompanied by a picture labeled 【Angry Scammer.JPG】
This post was quickly seen and retweeted by a marketing account.
Soon, it sparked some small-scale discussions.
【Seriously? Does anyone believe this?】
【It must be a scam! Who would believe it? I certainly don’t!】
【Being a celebrity is so tough these days. Remember the Li Lina incident from a few years ago? That woman was completely delusional! Just like this guy!】
【One thought she was the wife and lover of a superstar, and this one wants to be someone’s father. What kind of issue is that?】
【Probably similar—just a little crazy.】
【My Tang Tang is having a hard time!】
【Let’s take care of our Tang Tang. Why does she keep running into these kinds of things lately? Is someone deliberately trying to mess with her because her new drama just started?】
【That’s disgusting!】
……
【In that case, I can’t stay silent any longer. To be honest, I’m Wen Tang’s husband. 【Dog smiling.jpg】】
【I’m Wen Tang’s secret lover.】
【I’m Wen Tang’s long-lost sibling.】
……
The tone of the discussion gradually veered off course.
Because the situation was so absurd that no one believed it, the online buzz didn’t cause much of a stir.
Wen Tang was affected by Wen Haifeng’s interference, and her performance during the afternoon shoot deteriorated. The good condition she had in the morning was gone, and after several NGs, she decided to take a leave and end the workday early.
“Bring Wen Haifeng over. I’ll wait here.”
As the car left the film set and turned a corner, Wen Tang saw Wen Haifeng sneaking back into the crowd.
Wen Tang stopped the car and instructed Yangyang to call him.
After Yangyang went down, Wen Tang leaned back in the car seat and pinched her forehead.
Memories from the past flooded back. Since she was twenty-two, she hadn’t seen Wen Haifeng for four years. Her grandmother had lived alone after she passed away when Wen Tang was eight.
When she was twenty-two, concerned for her grandmother’s well-being, Wen Tang brought her to Lingcheng. But within a month, her grandmother fell down the stairs, and the person responsible was Wen Haifeng! Wen Haifeng had sneaked into the villa while Wen Tang and Liu Meifen were away, intending to steal something valuable. He had done this frequently before, and Liu Meifen, who repeatedly indulged him and never reported him to the police, had only encouraged his audacity. This time, Wen Haifeng was caught by her grandmother, who refused to let him take anything from the villa. During their struggle, she accidentally fell down the stairs. By the time Wen Tang arrived at the hospital, it was too late to save her.
In her grief and anger, Wen Tang wanted to report Wen Haifeng to the police but was stopped by Liu Meifen.
Liu Meifen believed that the deceased was gone and focused only on Wen Tang’s future. She feared that this incident would ruin Wen Tang’s career. After all, Wen Haifeng was her biological father! Whether or not Wen Haifeng was truly sentenced, if the media learned of it, Wen Tang’s life would be destroyed! Such a significant scandal would be disastrous for a celebrity’s career!
Despite Liu Meifen’s repeated denial, Wen Tang still secretly reported it to the police when Liu Meifen wasn’t paying attention. However, the investigation concluded it was an accident, not a crime.
Liu Meifen kept the incident tightly covered and dismissed everyone who knew about it for various reasons.
She thought reporting the incident was the end of the matter.
Little did she know, Wen Tang had seen through her.
No longer the obedient subordinate she used to be, Wen Tang’s attitude had changed completely.
When Wen Haifeng was brought to the car by Yangyang, and the car door opened, his face immediately showed a smug expression upon seeing Wen Tang inside.
See? Just as expected. Even if they keep me out, as long as I make a fuss, they’ll have to see me.
But this smile lasted only a second. Once in the car, his demeanor quickly shifted to one of familiarity and flattery.
“Tang Tang, you’re finally willing to see Dad.”
He didn’t come alone. He also brought his son.
Pulling his son’s arm, he urged, “Lele, hurry up and call your sister.”
Wen Anle, having only seen Wen Tang a few times in his life, has no real feelings for her.
To him, his sister is just a cash cow for the family.
He had just turned eighteen a few days ago, full of rebellion. Seeing Wen Tang, he looked at her disdainfully and impatiently. But recalling their purpose for coming today, he had no choice but to call her. However, just as he was about to speak, Wen Tang stopped him.
“Don’t call me that. I’m not your sister.” Her disdain was palpable, and she added coldly, “And you, Wen Haifeng. Do you want to be my father? Have you ever asked yourself if you’re worthy?”
