2172 Twins

Suddenly, someone among the reporters raised a question. “Everything’s fine this time, so it’s a desirable result. But Qiao Weiyang, can you explain the matter of you taking drugs five years ago? There were many reports at that time, but you never took them seriously and left the industry. Do you think it doesn’t matter anymore since you’ve given up your habit of taking drugs? Or could it be that you just haven’t taken any drugs during this period of time, so no drugs were detected in your system?”

Hearing this, the crew members who had originally planned to go to bed were no longer sleepy. They all pricked up their ears.

Director Cao pointed at the reporter and said, “Which company are you from? You’re going a little overboard here! Nothing happened tonight, so why are you still harping on about what happened a few years ago?”

“I’m just trying to seek an explanation for the fans and audience. Qiao Weiyang won’t refuse to answer the question that everyone wants to know, right? Why did she leave the industry a few years ago? Wasn’t it precisely because she was addicted to drugs that she had no choice but to leave the industry? Has she really recovered from her addiction? Why did she make a comeback? Shouldn’t she give everyone an explanation to convince them first?”

This reporter’s words were very sharp. Every sentence hit the nail on the head. The reporter seemed to be pushing Qiao Weiyang into a dead end, but every sentence of his seemed well-founded. If Qiao Weiyang did not answer, her silence would be taken as an agreement, confirming what the reporter had just said.

Qiao Jierou stood up straight and looked over seriously.

Lin Heng was a little worried.

The others also looked at Qiao Weiyang.

Even the police officers who were about to leave stood still and did not leave immediately.

Director Cao looked at Qiao Weiyang anxiously. “Weiyang, why don’t you go back first and I’ll deal with it?”

“Thank you, Director Cao, but I’ll handle today’s matter.”

Qiao Weiyang stood up.

Facing the aggressive reporter, her calm expression was a stark contrast to that person’s.

She said calmly and gently, “I’ve been looking for an opportunity to explain what happened five years ago, but I never had the chance to say it before. Coincidentally, there are so many relevant people here tonight, so I’ll take this opportunity to tell everyone the truth.”

Hearing that she was about to speak on the matter, everyone looked expectant.

Su Zhuoqian looked up indifferently. When he looked at Qiao Weiyang, his eyes were deep.

“More than five years ago, I was photographed taking drugs. During the same period of time, I was especially thin. After that, there were rumors that I was addicted to drugs. But in fact, I never did such a thing. I was photographed that way because I was preparing for a new movie at that time. My character did drugs, so I had to imitate the action of taking drugs. I was as thin as a match too. It was the effect of me losing 20 kilograms for that movie.”

Hearing her words, the heartache in Su Zhuoqian’s eyes grew as he looked at her gently.

The others looked at each other.

The reporter immediately asked, “So, what happened to the movie?”

“The director of this movie at that time was superb. But before he could sign a contract with me and film it, he was hospitalized with Alzheimer’s. He’s still in the hospital for treatment, so there’s no finished product.”

The reporter sneered and said, “Do you really think you can get away with it just because you made up a story? You said the movie hasn’t been filmed, so who can prove it? You’re really funny. You’re using the name of a director who’s currently in the hospital to clear your name. Besides, that director is an internationally renowned director. Do you think you can scam him like this? Do you have evidence to show that he wanted you to act in his movie?”

Qiao Weiyang said calmly, “I don’t have any evidence, because Director Cheng is the kind of person who doesn’t like revealing details of the preparations to outsiders. In fact, many of our chats were in person, so I don’t have any text records. However, the truth is the truth. I can call Tian Guang, the assistant director Director Cheng relied on the most at that time, and ask him to give a testimony.”

With that, Qiao Weiyang called Tian Guang directly.

The call went through, and Tian Guang’s voice came from the other end. “Weiyang? Why are you looking for me?”

“Director Tian, I want you to help me prove to everyone that Director Cheng was supposed to film a movie with a character that was a druggie back then, and he wanted me to play it. Because of this, I became as thin as a match after losing weight and imitated the actions of taking drugs. However, I was photographed by reporters. Now that Director Cheng is sick and hospitalized, he can’t talk about what happened back then. As his most trusted assistant, you know all these things. When I met up with Director Cheng back then, you were also present several times. Please tell your side of the story to the reporters so that I can clear my name.”

Director Tian had also become a very famous director. After Director Cheng fell sick, he released one famous work after the other. He was about to replace Director Cheng in the industry. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As long as he was willing to speak, people would definitely believe him.

Seeing that Qiao Weiyang could actually get Tian Guang to speak up for her, everyone believed her a little.

Tian Guang’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Well… Weiyang, what’s the use of telling me this? I can’t prove anything. I’m not very familiar with you…”

Qiao Weiyang pressed the speaker button, so everyone heard the other party’s words.

Everyone was in an uproar. Since Tian Guang said so, was Qiao Weiyang really lying?

Qiao Weiyang’s expression did not change, and she was still calm. “Director Tian, are you sure?”

“Of course, I’m sure. I’ve worked for Director Cheng before, but I don’t know about the things you’re talking about at all. If you want to clarify, I suggest you get some other evidence. I really can’t help you prove this.” After saying that, Tian Guang hung up.

Everyone looked at Qiao Weiyang with suspicion, disdain, and disgust.

“What else do you have to say?” The reporters had the upper hand, and their attitudes were even more arrogant now.

“I have some things to say.”

Following this male voice, everyone turned around and saw Lin Heng standing up.

He was elegant and gave people a good impression.

“I know about Weiyang’s previous contact with Director Cheng. At that time, in order to deal with the doubts of the outside world, I even accompanied her to the police station for a check-up. At that time, we received a special report that can prove that she didn’t take drugs at all.”

Seeing that he actually stood up and spoke up for Qiao Weiyang, Qiao Jierou couldn’t help but pinch her palm.

However, she knew in her heart that even if Lin Heng spoke up for Qiao Weiyang, it would be useless.
