Chapter 173: 150 In the Limelight

[Hiss. After they hung up the phone, they started again … Ugh, I don’t want to watch. My eyes burn, my eyes burn. My eyes burn. Okay, Tong Simeng forcibly stopped Yue Heng, telling him they were unsuitable for each other, predicting that in a few more minutes, Yue Heng would take off.]

Ye Zhaoyu suddenly stood up, “I’m going to look for Tong Simeng.”

Tong Simeng didn’t expect that he was just across from the hotel.

She planned to time Yue Heng’s departure.

Hehe. Then don’t go.

Ye Zhaoyu walked straight toward the hotel.

“Here’s the thing. My third son is still young, and as a father, I’m not very comfortable letting him go alone. How about this, I’ll accompany him,” said Ye Mingcheng as he stood up.

“I, as a worried mother, feel the same,” Du Yaru quickly added.

“As the eldest brother, it’s my duty to check on this matter,” said Ye Bolin as he pushed his glasses up.

“Decades from now, I might switch careers to write screenplays, so I’d better go and observe such real-life cases,” remarked Ye Lin.

Everyone’s gazes simultaneously turned towards Ye Xiao and Gu Yan.

Ye Xiao was startled for a moment, “Can I … can I go to watch the drama unfold?”

“Sure, let’s do that!” Ye Mingcheng declared decisively.

Ye Bolin glanced at Gu Yan, who had quietly followed along without saying a word, and couldn’t help but snort coldly.

This tag-along’s facade will be exposed sooner or later!

Ye Zhaoyu saw that everyone was coming along.

He felt somewhat helpless but resigned himself to the situation.

Forget it.

It’s already come to this.

He might as well smash the pot to pieces.

After all, he didn’t want this girlfriend anymore.

The group marched mightily into the hotel.

When they reached the reception desk.

Ye Zhaoyu, fully aware of Tong Simeng’s room, deliberately asked the front desk out loud.

“Hello, I was wondering about the lady who was hugging a man at the entrance for an hour, could you tell me where she’s staying?”

???

Keyword triggered.

Everyone in the lobby looked over.

Ye Xiao, watching Ye Zhaoyu, was stunned.

[Wow. The third brother may seem like a rebellious youth, but he’s quite the schemer.]

Ye Zhaoyu straightened his chest and snorted.

He had just trusted Tong Simeng too much before.

He’s not stupid!

Yue Heng was just shy of outright asking Tong Simeng to help him steal data, so Tianxing Club could win the championship!

According to Xiaoxiao’s inner voice, Tong Simeng would eventually do just that.

If he were merciful now, it wouldn’t just be irresponsible to himself, but also to the whole club!

If she’s taking the offensive, he must seize every advantage!

As Ye Zhaoyu inquired, by-passers began to eavesdrop.

Previously, Tong Simeng and Yue Heng became well-known for their embrace, which also aroused people’s curiosity.

What sort of person could hug so obliviously?

Now, the video of the two hugging was slowly making the rounds online.

However, the video taken by passersby was blurry, and their real identities had not yet been revealed.

The receptionist paused, “Sir, are you not …”

She remembered.

That girl was brought by the man before her.

And the man who hugged the girl earlier seemed to be somebody else.

Is the world this chaotic?

“Oh? Room 3308? I remember now. She’s my girlfriend; I’ll go check on her,” Ye Zhaoyu continued to say.

3308! Girlfriend?!

The crowd started gossiping.

Clearly, the man who had hugged her first was someone else.

And yet.

That girl apparently has a boyfriend?

This poor boyfriend seems to have been kept in the dark all along.

By going up there, isn’t he about to walk in on an affair?

This… this is too thrilling.

Someone said somewhat blankly, “I always feel like I’ve seen this man before.”

That blond hair was just too distinctive.

“Come on, let’s go, stop thinking about it, let’s check out the scene first,” his companion urged, pulling him along.

Halfway there, the man had a sudden realization.

“Holy shit! That’s Ye Zhaoyu from TC Club! He’s wearing a hat and sunglasses, that’s why I didn’t recognize him at first glance! It’s definitely him, no mistake!”

“Ye Zhaoyu?”

Some had heard the name, others had not. Everyone began searching for information.

Ye Zhaoyu, hearing the commotion behind him, kept his expression unchanged.

He wasn’t afraid of losing face anymore.

This sort of thing.

If he lost face, Yue Heng and Tong Simeng would only look worse!

In the current situation, he had to seize the narrative control and let everyone know that he was the one who had been schemed against, betrayed, and bullied.

Otherwise.

Who knew how Tong Simeng and Yue Heng would twist the truth.

Looking back on everything now, Ye Zhaoyu felt a sense of dread.

He realized.

His girlfriend had a very strange talent.

It seemed no matter what she did, she always ended up being forgiven in the end.

And moreover.

The one to be blamed would always be someone else.

A few times, he too had been misled by Tong Simeng.

Thinking about it now.

The way he acted before, he was like possessed, even somewhat irrational.

It was only after he went home and heard Xiaoxiao’s true feelings that he came to his senses.

If you think about Tong Simeng’s actions from a clear state of mind, you’d feel.

This woman was somewhat sinister.

Faced with such a sinister person, the only thing he could do was to let everyone know the truth before her bizarre nature took effect!

He didn’t believe it.

After laying it out like this, there was no way people would still be misled by her!

People gradually found Ye Zhaoyu’s information.

“It really seems to be Ye Zhaoyu, the side profile is exactly the same!”

“Look, when Ye Zhaoyu was playing the match, he officially announced his girlfriend. His girlfriend’s name seems to be… Tong Simeng.”

“I didn’t see very clearly at the entrance, but that woman, she does bear a resemblance to Tong Simeng!”

“Ye Zhaoyu has already won two championships, if he wins one more, that would make him a three-time champion, and such a man got cuckolded?”

“Quiet! It seems like Ye Zhaoyu still doesn’t know!”

“…I’m starting to feel sorry for him.”

A few people had already sneakily opened up live streaming apps, hoping to ride the wave of popularity.

The title.

“E-sports god horribly turns into a cuckold, live catch on cheating scene.”

Use a picture of Ye Zhaoyu’s silhouette for the cover.

Very eye-catching.

His blond hair, combined with the words “e-sports god,” would allow those who knew Ye Zhaoyu to instantly recognize him from the title.

Before long.

Ye Zhaoyu’s fans rushed in.

“You’re just trying to exploit everything for popularity! Knight and Sister Tong are all good!”

Knight was the name Ye Zhaoyu used when competing, signifying openly to everyone that he intended to protect Tong Simeng for life.

“Exactly, Sister Tong just had her birthday recently, and Knight just gave her gifts worth hundreds of thousands, alright!”

“Can you actually smear the e-sports circle’s Hero and Heroine like this?”

Ye Zhaoyu always kept his fans in check, and was no secret about his feelings for Tong Simeng, resulting in most of his fans respecting Tong Simeng, even becoming fans of their couple.

And it was precisely because Ye Zhaoyu had shaped such a positive image of Tong Simeng that in the previous life’s book, when they saw Ye Zhaoyu getting angry at Tong Simeng, his fans were so disappointed, leading them to unfollow in droves.

This time, they were still subconsciously defending the relationship for Ye Zhaoyu.

“Wait… that background up ahead, it really looks like Knight!”

“?? It’s just a silhouette, it doesn’t prove anything, right?”

The voices in the live streaming room became increasingly noisy and chaotic.

In the midst of everyone’s attention, Ye Zhaoyu walked up to the door and knocked.
