Chapter 258 – Can I sign a few little fresh meats? (1)
This matter had touched Lu Corporation’s bottom line. The company had sent lawyer letters to the bloggers that had uploaded and spread the videos and animation and reported them to the police for infringing on Ye Zhen’s portrait rights.
Only one week after the bloggers were reported to the police, the police arrested and brought to trial all of the people responsible, and Lu Corporation expressed that it would pursue this matter to the end.
Under these circumstances, Ye Zhen issued a statement: 1) I hope that the directors see my potential for being able to act in horror movies without having to apply makeup. 2) I hope the relevant departments can arrest and bring to justice the responsible parties. 3) I don’t know how to play the piano. 4) Thank you to the netizens that spoke out for me.
This almost self-depreciating clarification statement won her a favorable impression from many people. There was a vast stretch of content online where people expressed that they were outraged by the injustice done to Ye Zhen and that these marketing accounts had no bottom line.
“Rofl. Mrs. Lu, who doesn’t need to wear makeup to act in a horror movie, is too cute!”
“The people that started the rumors and created trouble should all be severely punished. I’m on Ye Zhen’s side. I hope the relevant departments can bring the responsible people to justice!”
“She’s worthy of being Mrs. Lu. So domineering even when issuing a statement! Love her.”
“So then the person playing the piano in the video is Ye Qing? She’s so short-tempered…”
“I apologize for what I said about Ye Zhen. I should have waited until I knew the truth before speaking.”
Seeing that the situation had changed, Ye Zhen wasn’t surprised.
Most people were kind. When it came to those marketing accounts’ malicious behavior, there was no need for her to resentfully lash out at them and explain herself. There would naturally be people that would scold those marketing accounts for her.
In this type of matter, most people wouldn’t pay attention to Ye Zhen’s prestigious identity as Mrs. Lu. Instead, they viewed her merely as an ordinary person being willfully insulted and maliciously defamed by marketing accounts. This unfair treatment was enough to make many people sympathetic to Ye Zhen and stand on her side to support her.
To begin with, Ye Zhen didn’t care much about the mixture of truths and deceit that were separated by internet cables. What made Ye Zhen helpless was Mother Lu.
Lu Beichuan and her were sitting across from Mother Lu and listening to her vividly describe what happened during her meeting with the Ye’s. Ye Zhen was shocked when she heard Mother Lu saying she had bought out her relationship with her parents for 30 million yuan.
“30 million yuan?”
Mother Lu wavered when she saw that Ye Zhen was shocked.
She knew that although Ye Zhen had been treated unfairly by her parents and didn’t have much affection for them, they were still the parents that had given birth to her and raised her. She had taken charge of this matter for Ye Zhen’s own good, but it was still overstepping as her mother-in-law.
The smile on Mother Lu instantly dropped. Nervous and uneasy, she asked Ye Zhen, “Zhenzhen ah, do you feel that Mom shouldn’t have…”
“No, that’s not it. Don’t misunderstand, Mom.” Ye Zhen smiled and said, “That’s not what I mean.”
If gossip wasn’t a fearful thing, then she couldn’t be happier at the thought of having nothing to do with the Ye’s.
Mother Ye had a bias against her. Father Ye was a money-sucking vampire. Those two people cared about benefits above all else. For money, they could even sell their younger daughter. In the novel, after Ye Qing and Lin Zhan came back and opposed Lu Corporation, Father Ye and Mother Ye immediately broke off their relationship with Ye Zhen. They stated that they only had one daughter, Ye Qing. They didn’t care if Ye Zhen lived or died.
She was fine that Mother Lu had dealt with this issue for her, but she didn’t think paying 30 million yuan was worth it.
“Mom, you didn’t have to handle this yourself. I could have done it myself. And also… you used 30 million yuan for it…” What a waste to use that money on the Ye’s!
Of course, she couldn’t say that last part to Mother Lu.
Mother Lu smiled. “I thought you were worried over something else. A mere 30 million yuan, that’s nothing. Don’t take it to heart.”
“But…”
Lu Beichuan held Ye Zhen. “Mom did the right thing,” he lightly said, “No matter what, they’re your parents. Even if they treated you badly, you have to repay them for giving birth to you and raising you. I don’t want others to attack you for being unfilial. It’s worth it to spend 30 million yuan to resolve this issue.”
For lack of a better option, Ye Zhen said, “But that’s 30 million yuan!”
And with Father Ye and Mother Ye’s nature, that 30 million yuan wouldn’t last for long.
