Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Internet Celebrity Ace (33)

Fu Chi found it somewhat amusing.

How had he come to accept it so naturally?

Seeing her defend him didn’t make him feel ashamed, but happy instead.

He must be crazy...

”Not happy?” Chuzheng asked when Fu Chi didn’t respond.

”No,” Fu Chi said, ”I’m very happy as long as you’re by my side.”

What outsiders said couldn’t affect him.

Chuzheng looked down at the chaos below and said in an even tone, ”I’ll be here.”

The venue was noisy, and Fu Chi didn’t hear her.

Fu Chi was puzzled, ”Why did he suddenly fall down?”

Chuzheng’s tone was cool, ”Such a big guy, can’t even walk properly, needs to learn.”

Fu Chi: ”...”

At the time, the boy was behind them. Although Fu Chi found his fall a bit strange, there was no reason for suspicion.

Not until the staff took the boy away did Chuzheng lead Fu Chi down.

The first row was all celebrities, while Fu Chi and Chuzheng’s seats were in the second row.

People gradually filled the venue, with seats continuously being taken around them.

”Is that Fu Chi?”

”I think so...”

”He’s really good-looking.”

”Should we go say hi?”

Some people came over to greet them. Fu Chi responded with polite distance, while Chuzheng couldn’t be bothered to deal with these people; she wasn’t a part of this circle.

”I heard Fu Chi was wholly pushed by his wife.”

”A kept man, huh?”

”With looks like that, anyone promoting him would make him famous.”

”His wife is really rich...”

Chuzheng turned around and glanced at the two people who were speaking.

They were engrossed in their conversation when they suddenly felt a chill and looked up to meet Chuzheng’s gaze.

Caught by the person of subject, their faces turned awkward, and they hurriedly looked away.

The award ceremony began at seven thirty.

The venue was almost full.

The hosts and the venue were ready, and the ceremony officially started.

There were many awards, big and small, to be given out; Fu Chi’s award was last, and Chuzheng leaned on him, dozing off.

”I’m going to the restroom,” Fu Chi whispered to Chuzheng.

”I’ll go with you.”

”No need, I’ll be back quickly,” Fu Chi smiled, stood up, and left by the side.

Chuzheng leaned against the chair when suddenly a girl tapped her, ”Miss.”

Chuzheng turned to look at her.

The girl had a radiant smile, ”Can you give me an autograph?”

Chuzheng: ”??”

Have I become famous?

”Cough cough...” The girl seemed a bit embarrassed, ”If it’s convenient, could you also get Startled Crane Search’s autograph for me?”

The girl clasped her hands together, her eyes brimming with sparkly stars of hope.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Asking for my autograph is just a pretense, the real aim is Fu Chi’s, isn’t it!

”He might not sign,” Chuzheng said, ”You can ask him yourself.”

Fu Chi rarely gave autographs.

That had nothing to do with her; it was his own habit.

”Please, I really like you guys,” the girl pouted, ”You two are the best-looking couple I’ve ever seen.”

Even if you compliment me...

”I’ll ask him for you.”

”You’re so kind, miss,” the girl immediately took out a small notebook from her coat and handed it over.

Chuzheng flipped through it roughly—the front was full of autographs...

Is this like collecting stamps?

Buzz buzz buzz—

The caller ID showed Meimei.

Why would she call herself?

”Hello.”

Chuzheng answered the phone, lowering her voice.

Music was playing on the stage at that moment, creating some noise.

It took Chuzheng a while to make out the words, then she put down her phone, handed back the notebook to the girl behind her, and hurried away.

”Hey, miss...”

-

Backstage.

Quite a few staff members were gathered there, along with two people holding cameras, clearly paparazzi.

Fu Chi stood tall and distinguished among the crowd, exceptionally conspicuous.

”Chuzheng,” Meimei called from the outskirts, rushing over when she saw her approach, ”That woman is saying your husband molested her, and she’s making a scene.”

Meimei had arrived later and hadn’t run into Chuzheng, but she knew Chuzheng was also there.

She had come to use the restroom and happened to run into the situation, so she immediately called her.

In the crowd, a girl with one hand holding up her slipping dress and the other hand covering her face sobbed, looking like she had been abused.

It was near the restrooms and next to a corner, relatively secluded.

Chuzheng sent a text message to Wu Fa and Wu Tian.

After putting away her phone, she then stepped into the crowd.

Seeing her, Fu Chi looked slightly upset, lowering his head to explain, ”I didn’t do anything. She suddenly blocked me, said some nonsensical things, and then started shouting.”

He had come out of the restroom, and the woman was standing right outside.

She blocked him from leaving and even got physical.

To avoid her, Fu Chi had no choice but to back away.

Then the woman suddenly began to scream and tore her dress, just as staff members were passing by.

There were no surveillance cameras here, and the girl insisted that she had been molested by him.

Seeing the girl disheveled and crying piteously always inclines people to sympathize with her.

”Hmm.” Chuzheng held his hand and looked at the girl, who was crying bitterly, ”You’re saying he molested you?”

The girl glanced at Chuzheng and sobbed, ”It’s him, I never expected... I never expected he would be that kind of person...”

”Where did he molest you?”

”He...,” the girl was heartbroken and too ashamed to say it, ”are you even human? He molested me, a pervert, and you still want me to say it, how can I face anyone after this...”

The girl covered her dress and cried even more sadly, immediately eliciting some men’s sympathy.

”I never would have guessed he was this kind of person...”

”Such a handsome man doing such things.”

”Appearances are deceiving, it’s precisely men like him that the term ’a wolf in sheep’s clothing’ describes,” some of the staff murmured quietly.

”If you don’t say where he molested you, how can I stand up for you?” Chuzheng spoke indifferently.

The girl insisted, ”He molested me!”

Chuzheng: ”Do you have evidence?”

”Isn’t this evidence?” The girl pointed at her dress, ”Would I joke about my own reputation?”

With that statement, the people around felt it made sense.

A woman’s reputation is vitally important, no matter the era.

Chuzheng glanced at her dispassionately, ”The dress could have been torn by you. You say he molested you and that’s it? What evidence do you have to prove that you’re not framing him?”

”I am a girl...”

”Then I might as well say that you seduced him first and when you failed, you turned around and slandered him,” said Chuzheng, a chill rising in her brows, ”Without evidence, one can say whatever they want, can’t they?”

The girl looked up at Chuzheng, possibly hit by the truth in her words, and her eyes flickered anxiously.

After locking eyes for just a second, she averted her gaze.

With trembling fingers, she pointed at Chuzheng, ”You... what nonsense are you talking about? You’re his wife; of course, you would defend him. I am an innocent girl, how could I do such a thing?”

”He’s handsome,” Chuzheng said assertively.

”...”

The surrounding onlookers were somewhat confused.

This was completely different from what they had expected.

”You... you...” the girl pointed at Chuzheng and Fu Chi, tears streaming down as if she was the victim of a grave injustice, ”Are you really asking me to prove my innocence with death today?”

Chuzheng made a welcoming gesture.

The girl: ”...”

It was just an exaggerated expression, she didn’t dare to follow through.
