Chapter 154 Mo Yu's Decision
Tang Bingbing took Mo Yu's hand and said softly, "Mo Yu, do you still remember what you said? While stars enjoy the spotlight and fan worship, they must also set an example for society and establish beliefs for their fans! And for those stars who are glamorous on the surface but hideous behind closed doors, you wanted to become the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads!"
"You wanted to unmask their true faces and cleanse the entire entertainment industry! For this ideal, you gave up a lucrative job to become a despised paparazzo! But I have always believed, believed that you still held on to your original ideal!" Tang Bingbing continued, "But now, I've realized I was wrong. The man who aspired to be the Sword of Damocles in the entertainment industry has vanished.
Has he now only enjoyed the thrill of exposing celebrities' privacy and manipulating their Star Maps?"
Under Tang Bingbing's questioning, Mo Yu felt a chill in his body and struggled in his gaze. In his heart, there was always a grudge, a grudge against celebrities!
If it hadn't been for those celebrities, how could the girl he secretly loved have been so hurt, and how could she have possibly leaped from the eighteenth floor to end her life in its blooming youth?
So, when Mo Yu had enough resources in his hands, he gradually lost himself; he began to delight in digging up those celebrities' private scandals! Every time he uncovered a scandal, making a glamorous star into a street rat that everyone shouted at and hit, he felt a sense of vindictive pleasure in his heart!
But today, under Tang Bingbing's questioning, Mo Yu realized that for the past decade, he had entered a wrong path!
"I…" Mo Yu's lips quivered, unsure of what to say.
Looking at the man she loved most in front of her, Tang Bingbing said gently, "Mo Yu, don't forget your ideals! Don't forget your original intention! Because in my heart, a paparazzo who dares to cry out against the entertainment industry shines brighter and is more admirable than those stars!"
Mo Yu hung his head and said with a bitter smile, "Yes, I also don't know why, how I could have become like this, completely forgetting my initial intentions! Bingbing, thank you, thank you for waking me up, otherwise, I really don't know what I would have become!"
Tang Bingbing sighed in relief and said with a smile, "No matter what you become, I am still your wife!"
Mo Yu embraced Tang Bingbing and said emotionally, "With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!"
A blush appeared on Tang Bingbing's face: "Alright, now let's talk about something serious!"
Mo Yu was shocked: "What, that wasn't serious just now?"
Tang Bingbing took out a photograph and said solemnly, "Mo Yu, I don't know why you want to leak information about Chen Ningxue, but I tell you, the man in this photo is the one who saved me and Niuniu today!"
"What!" Mo Yu was truly surprised. He had never imagined that the person he wanted to expose would end up saving his wife and daughter!
"How could this be!" Mo Yu said with a wry smile. Then he told Tang Bingbing about his interaction with Young Master Lin. At this point, there was no need to hide anything.
Tang Bingbing frowned and said, "This matter involves the son of the City Committee Secretary? This is going to be difficult! After all, they are officials, and we are citizens. What do you plan to do?"
Mo Yu laughed carefree, "What to do? Just play it by ear! I can't possibly act against my lifesaver! Although I'm a paparazzo, I am not ungrateful! Even if Young Master Lin is upset with me, I'll just say I wasn't capable enough! Surely he wouldn't kill me for that?"
Looking at Mo Yu, whose face was regaining righteousness, Tang Bingbing felt tenderness, "Alright, since you've made up your mind, let's be honest with our benefactor. At least we should let them be prepared!"
At that moment, Mo Yu's phone rang. Little Qin had sent a link. When opened, it was a live broadcast on Penguin Video—an emergency press conference called by Chen Ningxue.
In the midst of the scene, Chen Ningxue was somewhat helpless. After returning to the company, Sister Feng found her and said the company was going to hold a press conference to address the event of Chen Ningxue's secret marriage and childbirth, in order to mitigate the impact.
"Sister Feng, wasn't this issue supposed to fade away on its own? If I come out and make a statement now, won't that just add fuel to the fire?" Chen Ningxue said with some dissatisfaction.
Sister Feng replied, "The company did think that way, but we didn't expect the situation to develop so unexpectedly fast! You haven't seen Weibo; the heat of this topic has already exceeded the total of the other nine combined!"
Chen Ningxue's eyes widened in disbelief, "Really? Are Huaxia people that idle? Weren't there rumors about Chen Yu's divorce just a few days ago? Isn't that more explosive than my news?"
"Those two have been rumored to divorce every now and then, everyone is used to it by now!"
"What about Cai Ting's lip-sync scandal? That caused quite a stir at the time, didn't it?"
"Cai Ting lip-syncing is hardly news anymore. She was always more about her looks and figure anyway, who really cared about her singing skills?"
"Then..."
"Enough talk, the fact is that your news is now the hottest topic. Initially, the company thought ignoring it would make it die down, but it seems to have the opposite effect. Hence the conference," said Sister Feng.
With some distress, Chen Ningxue said, "Then what do I say? Won't it be really lame to be this famous without a boyfriend?"
"Whether you have one or not is up to you!" Sister Feng said, "Right now, the fans just want an answer. After all, you've won them over with your voice; most of them are rational fans."
As she spoke, Sister Feng took out a chart, "According to an online survey, eighty percent of your fans don't care whether you have a boyfriend or not. In fact, many fans wish you find a boyfriend who loves you! Just relax!"
Chen Ningxue shook her head, "Forget it, the press conference is about to start. I'll deal with it then."
As soon as Chen Ningxue and Sister Feng made an appearance, all the journalists swarmed around them, each pushing their microphones towards Chen Ningxue.
"Miss Chen, Mo Yu has revealed that you are already married with children, is this true?"
"Miss Chen, you've been rarely seen in the public eye over the past six months, is it because of pregnancy?"
"Miss Chen, it is said that your boyfriend is a wealthy second-generation, and an informant witnessed both of you entering a hotel together, is this true?"
"Miss Chen, someone spotted you being intimate with a foreigner in Las Vegas in September, do you have a foreign boyfriend now?"
...
Seeing the crowd, Chen Ningxue waved her hands and said, "I'm sorry, I will address all your questions at the press briefing. For now, my apologies, but please make way!"
