Chapter 3: The Slap in the Face Came Too Fast, Liu Kaiwei and Wang Ou’s “Glow-in-the-Dark Script” Scandal!
2014 Timeline – Five-Star Hotel
The first video on the massive sky screen had ended, but the woman’s voice bore an uncanny resemblance to Yang Mi’s.
The wedding guests buzzed with whispers.
“Doesn’t that woman sound just like Yang Mi?”
“Look, the woman in the video has a mole on her shoulder, just like Yang Mi!”
“Holy crap, was that really Yang Mi in that indecent video?”
“This is explosive! Glad I came to this wedding!”
Bold paparazzi even pushed through the crowd, shoving microphones in Liu Kaiwei’s face.
“Mr. Liu, do you have any comments about the video on the sky screen?”
Liu Kaiwei’s face darkened. If this weren’t a public event, he would’ve punched the reporter.
Though doubts gnawed at him, he had no choice but to stand by Yang Mi, unless he wanted to admit, in front of everyone, that he’d been cuckolded… on his wedding day.
So, in front of the press and guests, Liu Kaiwei delivered the performance of his life.
With solemn conviction, he declared:
“I trust my wife, Yang Mi. She would never do such a thing!”
“If anyone spreads rumors, I will hold them fully accountable!”
Then, turning to Yang Mi with a tender smile, he asked:
“Mimi, we’ll be together forever… right?”
Tears welled in Yang Mi’s eyes. Touched, she nodded.
“Yes. Forever.”
The crowd swooned at their “eternal love.”
But then,
The sky screen lit up again.
An AI voiceover echoed across the venue:
Bridesmaid Tang Yan, who’d just been moved to tears, gasped.
“Mimi… you two got divorced? What’s this ‘glow-in-the-dark script’ thing?”
Liu Kaiwei’s expression twisted. Instantly, he assumed Yang Mi had cheated.
“Yang Mi!” he snapped. “So even after marriage, you couldn’t behave?”
Yang Mi panicked. “I don’t know anything about this! That ‘script’ scandal has nothing to do with me!”
Jin Dong smirked at the sky screen.
“A ‘glow-in-the-dark script’? Damn, that’s wild.”
“Hu Ge, you worked with Yang Mi before. Do you believe she’d do this?”
Hu Ge shook his head firmly.
“No. When we filmed ‘Chinese Paladin,’ Yang Mi was hardworking and proud.”
“She wouldn’t stoop to something like this.”
Wang Ou, standing nearby, felt a pang of jealousy at Hu Ge’s defense.
With a sarcastic smile, she said:
“Hu Ge, in showbiz, anything’s possible.”
“I’ve seen talented actresses do anything for resources.”
“People change.”
Hu Ge frowned. “Would you change?”
Wang Ou batted her lashes innocently.
“Of course not! You gave me this amazing role, I’d never disappoint you!”
The entire cast had stopped filming to gawk at the sky screen,
Except Wei Daxun, who’d locked himself in the bathroom.
With the alleged Yang Mi scandal video playing, he “rewarded himself” enthusiastically.
Just as he finished, the sky screen announced Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei’s divorce.
Wei Daxun grinned.
“If they’re splitting up… does that mean I’ve got a shot now?”
“Hell yeah!”
“Time for another round to celebrate!”
He slammed the bathroom door shut again.
Liu Kaiwei came from a family of celebrities, his father, Liu Dan, was a veteran actor.
Liu Dan had already been furious about the sky screen’s “exposés” on Yang Mi.
Now, hearing his son’s marriage would end over a “glow-in-the-dark script,” he exploded.
“This wedding is over!”
“Liu Kaiwei, look at the woman you chose!”
“I told you not to marry someone from this industry!”
Yang Mi’s parents shot back:
“Explain yourself! What’s wrong with our daughter?”
“The sky screen cleared her name in the first video!”
Liu Dan had invited media to hype the wedding, now, thanks to the sky screen, his family would become a laughingstock.
Desperate to shift blame, he snarled:
“Open your eyes! Even if the first video wasn’t her, what about the ‘script’ scandal?”
“If they’ll divorce anyway, better end it now!”
Just then,
The sky screen updated.
Liu Kaiwei’s face went pale.
“What the?!”
The scandal had just flipped onto him.
