Chapter 297: Chapter 297: The Truth from Six Years Ago Revealed to the World

He Ye, accompanied by his child, appeared in the amusement park and eventually became a hot search topic. Thankfully, he kept Cheng Xing hidden in his embrace, so Cheng Xing’s face wasn’t photographed.

As soon as they got home, Cheng Zhiwei threw away the clothes Cheng Xing was wearing.

She scrolled through the hot searches for a long time, confirming that Cheng Xing wasn’t exposed, before she finally relaxed.

However, the relationship between He Ye and Zhou Lin stirred a lot of speculation, with various rumors abounding. Cheng Zhiwei glanced at it and turned it off, reminding herself that such incidents must never happen again.

Regarding the online hot searches, He Ye did not respond; after a few days, the fervor of the issue subsided.

He Ye once again approached Cheng Zhiwei to discuss a collaboration. Knowing what Cheng Zhiwei was concerned about, he also gave her a copy of the recording to reassure her.

Cheng Zhiwei had forgotten about the incident in the hotel six years ago, but upon hearing the truth, she couldn’t help but feel a bitter sensation well up inside her.

She cried hard, then agreed to He Ye’s invitation without hesitation.

She thought, she should appear boldly and uprightly.

The collaboration was an instant click.

By the time their song was finished, another week had passed.

After wrapping up all the work, He Ye told Cheng Zhiwei that he planned to release their duet song for free online as a lead single.

Originally intended as the last track of the album, He Ye felt that releasing it for free as a lead single would maximize the benefits for Cheng Zhiwei.

That way, those who wanted to hear her voice could do so anytime, anywhere.

When Cheng Zhiwei heard his decision, she suddenly gripped her palm, her whole being wrapped in nervousness, "Are you sure?"

Once the song was released online, there would be no turning back.

Cheng Zhiwei both wanted to take this step and feared taking it.

After all, it wasn’t just about her. There was He Ye’s newly restarted career, her child, her parents, her relatives...

Public opinion is a vast vortex; no one involved can come out of it wholly unscathed.

Suddenly, a warm large hand covered the back of her hand. Cheng Zhiwei stiffened, wanting to pull back, but He Ye held it tightly.

She pressed her lips together, "Senior."

"Zhiwei, trust me, we can definitely succeed this time," He Ye declared firmly.

Cheng Zhiwei was moved by his perseverance, her eyes reddening. If she had to name the person she was most grateful to in her lifetime, it would undoubtedly be He Ye.

He had reached out to her again and again in her muddy problems, even risking the studio he had built up himself. When they met again, he still treated her with the sincerest heart.

"Senior," Cheng Zhiwei’s voice was somewhat choked up.

He Ye’s eyes were filled with shimmering stars and softness, "Let’s work hard together."

"Okay."

Cheng Zhiwei was completely reassured. If He Ye, who had staked his own career, was not afraid, what did she, a person who simply follows along, have to worry about?

Three days later, their collaborative song was released on various platforms and exploded across the internet.

What followed were various curses and doubts.

The names of He Ye and Cheng Zhiwei topped the hot searches together. The incident at the hotel six years ago and the car accident three years ago were once again exposed to the public eye, and the voices calling for a boycott of Cheng Zhiwei surged once more.

Seo Zhenzhen posted a very tear-jerking short essay on her social media remembering her sister, naturally inciting a lot of outrage from the uninformed masses.

Seeing the turmoil that lasted a day, which turned out to be better than before, Seo Zhenzhen even went so far as to record a video, remembering the bits and pieces of her time with her sister.

In her narrative, the two sisters were portrayed as pitiful and lowly, who had barely made something of themselves when the sister tragically died in a car accident.

She shed tears, appearing as pitiful as one could be.

Cheng Zhiwei, watching her video and then the comments below, felt a very familiar frustration.

She stared at the recording in her hand, wanting to release it immediately, but remembered He Ye’s instructions to endure and let Seo Zhenzhen wallow in her misery.

She tossed her phone away again.

"Mommy." Cheng Xing ran into the room from outside. Seeing Cheng Zhiwei’s reddened eyes, she immediately climbed next to her, her voice tender with concern, "Mommy, hug."

Cheng Zhiwei held her tight, her roiling emotions suddenly became much steadier, her voice a bit hoarse as she asked, "Xingxing, how come you’re here?"

Cheng Xing cradled Cheng Zhiwei’s cheeks and kissed her forehead, softly saying, "Mommy, don’t cry."

"Mommy isn’t crying." Cheng Zhiwei kissed Cheng Xing’s soft cheek, a gentle warmth emerging, "Mommy’s eyes are just uncomfortable, that’s all."

"Then I’ll blow on them for Mommy." Cheng Xing tenderly blew a few breaths.

The naivety of her cheeks and actions completely soothed Cheng Zhiwei’s irritability, and Cheng Zhiwei smiled, "Thank you, little Xingxing."

For the next two days, Cheng Zhiwei didn’t touch her phone.

Their family didn’t go out either.

When they finally received a call from He Ye, the tide online had completely turned.

Huang Ye’s recording was released online, and the details of the Cheng family sponsoring Seo Zhenzhen were dug up with some prompting, plunging Seo Zhenzhen into disrepute instantly.

Cheng Zhiwei tremulously picked up her phone, scrolled through all the messages, and covered her mouth as she silently cried.

She was crying tears of joy.

The incident from six years ago was finally laid bare for all to see.

The so-called stealing of a best friend’s boyfriend, the intimate encounter in the hotel, was nothing but an act orchestrated by Seo Zhenzhen...

...

Seo Zhenzhen had taken a trip to the police station.

The police laid out Huang Ye’s recording and the printed chat records in front of her.

The chat records showed her urging Huang Ye to make a move on Cheng Zhiwei soon.

"This isn’t me, someone is framing me," Seo Zhenzhen said calmly, clenching her teeth in denial.

She had been contacting Huang Ye via a burner phone, which she disposed of along with her cell phone after seeing the messages online.

The ID used to register the burner phone was fake, she wasn’t worried about it being traced.

Just, she had told Huang Ye to delay his actions for a few days, hadn’t he listened?

And why hadn’t she received any news about being captured?

Her mind was full of questions, yet she didn’t show it, calming down before saying, "I want to see my lawyer."

Soon after the lawyer arrived, what seemed like ironclad evidence in the recording and chat records changed in nature, asserting that the recording was Huang Ye’s deliberate framing of Seo Zhenzhen, motivated by his many years of harassment towards her; it was revenge.

The chat records were also fabricated by her opponents, solely to ruin Seo Zhenzhen.

If the police insisted these were all Seo Zhenzhen’s doing, they needed to provide evidence.

Finally, Seo Zhenzhen was allowed to go home, only she was not to leave Yucheng, and she had to be available for summons at any time, ready to cooperate with the investigation.

Seo Zhenzhen courteously agreed.

But as soon as she sat in the car, her expression instantly changed. Huang Ye wasn’t that foolish; she had told him to delay the action, yet he still proceeded.

There must have been something she didn’t know about happening behind the scenes.

The key was Huang Ye.

"Miss Seo?" the lawyer prompted, "Should we inform President Zhou?"
