Chapter 1044: Everything has its weakness

Jiang Wei’s bad friends were also paying attention to this matter. When they accidentally saw this emoticon, they saved it to their phones and called Jiang Wei in the WeChat group.

Everyone in the country was using this emoticon. Before Mu Sha became popular, Jiang Wei’s emoticon became popular instead.

Mu Sha’s face turned pale when he saw the video.

How even!

The surveillance cameras had clearly been cut out!

Mu Sha quickly called the hotel manager. When she called, her hands were trembling.

“Hu Cheng! What’s going on! Why would Jiang Wei have that video!” Hu Cheng was the general manager of that hotel.

Mu Sha was so angry that her face was distorted, but when she spoke to Hu Cheng, there was a hint of flattery in her tone.

She did not dare to anger Hu Cheng. If this hype failed, her future would be ruined. Hu Cheng would be her last resort.

After all these years, Mu Sha and Hu Cheng were still together. They were still boyfriend and girlfriend and had been together on and off. Although Mu Sha had been in the entertainment industry for the past few years, she had not sold herself. She was still considered clean.

Mu Sha had really gone off the beaten track and decided to climb into bed with other people in the past two weeks. However, she had hidden it well, and Hu Cheng did not know.

Hu Cheng had let Fang Yuqing down, but he was controlled by Mu Sha.

After being kicked by Jiang Wei last night, Mu Sha did not actually escape. Instead, she hid in Hu Cheng’s lounge with his assistant. Hu Cheng was the general manager of that hotel, so he could protect Mu Sha.

Hu Cheng was devoted to Mu Sha. Last night, Mu Sha had gone to look for him in a sorry state. Hu Cheng had been shocked and had hidden her without saying anything. Even when the lobby manager was looking for her with great fanfare, he did not hand her over.

Mu Sha knew that Hu Cheng would definitely see the surveillance video and knew that it was useless to lie to him, so she cried and told him what she had done. However, in her story, she hid some of the content and made up some illusions.

She told Hu Cheng that she did not really want to do anything with Jiang Wei when she approached him. She just wanted to seduce him and make some intimate gestures. Then, she would take a photo and post it online. She would expose it herself and achieve her goal of becoming famous.

It was better to let Hu Cheng think that she was doing anything to become famous than to know that she was going to sell herself into power.

Mu Sha did not know if Hu Cheng believed her, but Hu Cheng had promised Mu Sha that he would help her destroy the video in the hotel. That was why Mu Sha dared to send those photos to the reporters before dawn.

In any case, the dead tell no tales. The truth was up to her to fabricate.

However, what Mu Sha did not expect was that the hotel’s surveillance cameras were not destroyed by Hu Cheng! Jiang Wei had obtained the surveillance cameras!

At this moment, Mu Sha hated Hu Cheng to the core. However, she could not stand her ground and did not dare to flare up at Hu Cheng. Did Hu Cheng deliberately not destroy the video to take revenge on her, or was Hu Cheng helpless?

Hu Cheng was silent for a long time when he heard Mu Sha’s question.

Just when Mu Sha thought there was no answer, Hu Cheng finally spoke. He said, “I was fired from the hotel.”

Mu Sha froze.

Hu Cheng’s salary was not bad. His annual salary plus bonus was about a million yuan.

He was fired …

Mu Sha was speechless.

Hu Cheng said, “When I was going to destroy the video last night, there were people from the hotel guarding the computer room, so I didn’t succeed. Manager Liu in the lobby found out that I was covering for you, and what happened last night made Jiang Wei furious. This morning, I found out that your relationship with Jiang Wei had been exposed online. When I arrived at the company, I was informed that I was fired.”

When Hu Cheng explained, his voice was calm.

Mu Sha was silent for a moment before saying, “I’m the one who got you into this.” At this point, there was no flattery in her voice. She had become cold, and her apology had lost its meaning.

“I won’t fuss over that.” Hu Cheng gripped his phone tightly, his eyes filled with fatigue. He asked Mu Sha, “Last night, you actually wanted to sleep with him, right?”

The so-called asking Jiang Wei to do some ambiguous actions to create a scandal was just a helpless move after her original plan failed.

Hu Cheng knew that Mu Sha had already fallen into the bad habits of that circle.

When Mu Sha heard Hu Cheng’s question, she knew what he was really thinking. “Don’t you know?” Mu Sha did not deny it. She actually admitted it.

Hu Cheng pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, “Hang up.”

He really hadn’t expected Mu Sha to do such a thing. After he hung up, he threw the phone against the wall.

The quality of the phone was pretty good. The screen was broken, but it still worked.

Hu Cheng picked up his phone and sat at the end of the bed, looking dispirited. After so many years, Hu Cheng had grown up and was no longer the arrogant and domineering youth he used to be.

He had matured considerably, and he was not so frivolous.

He recalled his years with Mu Sha and felt exhausted. When they were together, it was also very sweet. Even though they had faced a lot of rumors because of Fang Yuqing, he and Mu Sha had survived.

What exactly defeated them?

Was it time, or the human heart?

Hu Cheng was lost.

He thought of his mother again. His mother passed away last year. He was busy with work and could only go back two or three times a month. One winter last year, he returned home and pressed the doorbell. No one opened the door for him.

Hu did not have a key with him. In the end, he asked the locksmith to help him open the door. When he entered the house, he saw his mother lying under the door frame that connected the living room to the room. His mother had died of a cerebral hemorrhage on a cold winter’s day.

His mother had always told him to get married earlier so he would have company in the future.

Hu Cheng said that Mu Sha’s career was at its lowest point now and it was not a good time to get married. His mother kept saying that Qingqing was still the best. Qingqing was such a filial child. She also said that Mu Sha was not a good person. She looked evil and was not a serious person.

At that time, Hu Cheng always refused to listen to his mother. Now that he thought about it, the old knew more.

Hu Cheng thought of Fang Yuqing and fell silent again.

Over the years, he came to understand how much of a bastard he’d been back then. But what to do? He hurt someone, and that was a fact. The mistakes of his youth would always come back to haunt him in another way.

Look, retribution was coming.

A lot happened that day.

Mu Sha had just experienced the feeling of gaining fans on Weibo and had yet to carefully savor the feeling of being popular. The video circulating online that she had failed to give herself to Jiang Wei and was instead kicked to the ground by Jiang Wei made her really, really angry.

Mu Sha wanted to be famous, but she had never thought that she would become famous in such a pathetic way.

She was about to go crazy. The ruthless sarcasm and abuse from the netizens online made her almost collapse.
