Kang Boye was an athlete with exceptional reflexes. In a flash, he charged forward and pinned the burly man beneath him!
The opponent was muscular and broader than Kang Boye, but Kang had the advantage of height. Moreover, his muscles were the result of rigorous training, solid and genuine, allowing him to firmly overpower the man.
Unfortunately, the red paint in the burly man’s hand still slipped out and splashed toward Zhou Qingyu!
Everyone gasped in shock.
Even though the smell revealed it was only paint, getting splattered with it would still be quite unpleasant.
But just as the paint was about to land on Zhou Qingyu, Yan Xi, with sharp eyes and quick reflexes, grabbed Zhou Qingyu and pulled her toward herself in one swift motion.
The splashed paint missed its target and instead landed squarely on Ye Luoyi, who was standing behind Zhou Qingyu!
Ye Luoyi let out a sharp scream, and the paint splattered onto Su Lingling, who was beside her. Both girls shrieked in unison.
Airport security quickly stepped in, assisting Kang Boye in restraining the burly man.
With his hands now pinned, the man looked utterly bewildered. “I was aiming for Zhou Qingyu! Zhou Qingyu, you wretched woman! Always pulling Yi Yi in to take the fall for you!”
The airport security, unaware of the tangled drama of the entertainment industry, scolded the burly man bluntly. “This is clearly your fault, and now you’re blaming someone else? What did that young lady ever do to you for you to throw paint at her?”
The burly man gritted his teeth in frustration. “She bullied our Yi Yi! I was just giving her a taste of her own medicine!”
Ye Luoyi and Su Lingling returned from the restroom after changing into fresh clothes. Since they were on a trip, they had brought plenty of outfits.
As they walked back into the airport lobby, they overheard the burly man’s words.
Ye Luoyi frowned. “Right and wrong are separate matters. Bullying another actress is unacceptable. I don’t need fans like you!”
Her tone was firm and resolute as she turned to the security guards. “Take him to the police station. If he’s done something wrong, he should face the consequences under the law.”
The security guards nodded and escorted the burly man out of the airport.
[No wonder Yi Yi is a goddess! She won’t let any criminal go unpunished!]
[Our little Yi Yi is so principled! The paint-throwing incident was an individual act. Please don’t drag Yi Yi into this! Yi Yi is a good person!]
[Even though that fan’s actions were wrong, he wasn’t lying—shouldn’t Zhou Qingyu apologize for bullying Yi Yi yesterday?]
[Exactly! Zhou Qingyu owes Yi Yi an apology!]
[Didn’t Xingyao clarify that Zhou Qingyu slapping Ye Luoyi was part of the script? Why should she apologize?]
[Zhou fans, stop pretending. Can acting leave a red mark? Clearly, she used the script as an excuse for a personal vendetta! Couldn’t she fake the slap? Why did she have to hit for real?]
[Exactly! Trying to hide behind the script, but it’s obvious Zhou Qingyu deliberately bullied Yi Yi!]
The livestream comments were in an uproar, and the chaos extended to Weibo’s trending topics. Ye Luoyi’s fans were furiously flooding tags, demanding Zhou Qingyu apologize to Ye Luoyi.
Ye Luoyi, seeing the comments on her phone, spoke softly, her eyes slightly red. “Thank you, my little fans. Thank you, my fans… It’s okay, really. It’s enough to have your concern. It doesn’t matter if I suffer a little.”
Ye Luoyi had always maintained a modest and polite image on screen, never striving for attention. However, seeing her pitiful expression only fueled her fans’ outrage, making the situation escalate further.
Su Lingling, standing beside her, was visibly indignant. “Yi Yi! You’re just too soft-spoken and accommodating.”
She turned to Zhou Qingyu, her voice sharp. “Some people are truly shameless. Even after all this, they act like nothing happened? Weren’t they so arrogant when slapping someone yesterday?”
The other guests also turned their attention to Zhou Qingyu.
The Jiang Tao couple and Kang Boye, unaware of the full story, chose to remain silent. But Qin Li, who had always harbored feelings for Ye Luoyi, naturally sided with her.
“Director Yu, if this continues, we won’t be able to film the show! Who knows when a certain someone might suddenly lose it and slap someone again?”
“You—!”
Zhou Qingyu’s face turned pale with anger. If it weren’t for the fact that Ye Luoyi was Pei Yubai’s artist, she would have dealt with her long ago.
“Could this be some sort of misunderstanding?” Jiang Tao tried to smooth things over. “But still, Qingyu did slap Luoyi and even left her face swollen. An apology seems appropriate, doesn’t it?”
Kang Boye nodded in agreement. “Yeah, maybe she accidentally used too much force while filming. But since someone was hurt, an apology is necessary.”
Everyone seemed to echo the sentiment, criticizing Zhou Qingyu one after another.
Zhou Qingyu was on the verge of tears. She rarely cried in public, but with all the guests pressuring her to apologize, her eyes welled up, the tears barely held back.
It was clearly part of the script, clearly the director’s request—how had it turned into her fault?
When everyone was saying the same thing, the truth no longer mattered. If everyone said you were wrong, then you were wrong.
Under the weight of all the judgmental stares, Zhou Qingyu reluctantly, step by step, walked toward Ye Luoyi.
Ye Luoyi first looked surprised, but her expression quickly softened, becoming gentle and magnanimous.
