1589 You Have To Pay The Price For Being Hasty
Wu Jiaheng said in surprise, “No, definitely not. Shooting these is very difficult. As an actor, I know this very well. How can I bear to let her shoot? Could it be my ex-wife, Li Hua? But why? The things she got from me and the child support fees for Lil’ Hua are enough for her and my daughter to live a carefree life! Why would she do this?”
“I’m not sure yet. I can’t even trust you completely.”
“President Su, believe me. Why would I need to do that? I used to earn tens of millions from one TV show. One advertisement would earn me one to two million. Although my reputation has been ruined and I’ve compensated for the losses of those brands, I still have a house and a car. As long as I’m willing to work hard in the future, I can still earn money to support my daughter. My daughter is only four years old! How could I have let her take these photos?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already sent someone to the children’s modeling base to ask about the situation.”
Wu Jiaheng’s anxiety at this moment was real. He had not been worried before.
Now that he knew about his daughter’s true situation, he was really anxious.
Only then did he make up his mind. He took a few steps forward and said to Su Bei, “President Su, I don’t know how to make you believe me. But I beg you, you have to help me! I can’t watch Lil’ Hua suffer! I can do anything you want me to do!”
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Su Bei let someone in. Xiao Ling ran in and said, “President Su, I went to the children’s modeling studio and learned a lot about the situation.”‘
“Tell me what’s going on.”
“Look, I even have a video. The filming base over there is filled with parents bringing their good-looking children to take photos. The shooting time is very long. It starts from seven in the morning to 11 at night, just to earn 200 to 300 yuan. Many children are so tired that they fall asleep standing at the side,” Xiao Ling said with righteous indignation. “It’s so infuriating to watch! Do those parents even treat their children as humans?!”
“What else?” Su Bei asked with a frown, her heart aching.
“I asked about Lil’ Hua. The people inside said that Lil’ Hua was always brought there by her mother. She’s very popular because she’s good-looking. When she goes to shoot, she works more than 10 hours a day and earns 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a day. I asked around and they said that this woman is the one who brought her to shoot!”
Wu Jiaheng rushed over and saw the photo. That woman was his ex-wife, Li Hua.
Xiao Ling was shocked and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“It’s okay. Go on.”
“Oh. I’ve been observing the situation over there for two days. Many children are especially tired. They cry and refuse to take photos. Some parents coax them, and some even hit them. I was about to die of anger,” Xiao Ling said.
“Alright, leave the things behind. It’s been hard on you. Zhiqin still needs you. You can go back to your job first.”
Xiao Ling handed the things to Su Bei. “President Su, the children are too pitiful. Think of a way to help them.”
Su Bei’s heart ached when she heard that. Since Wu Jiaheng really didn’t do anything wrong, she had to help.
Wu Jiaheng looked at the video left behind by Xiao Ling. As a grown man, he couldn’t help but cry. “Why is she doing this? Haven’t I given her enough?”
“Wu Jiaheng, tell me in detail what happened.”
“After Li Hua and I got married, we didn’t spend much time together because I was constantly filming. I wasn’t able to keep her happy, and our marriage went down the drain.
“Later, she said that she couldn’t stand this kind of life and asked for a divorce. I didn’t think it was necessary to get a divorce, so I decided to separate first and let her calm down and think things through. During this period, I hired a nanny to take care of Lil’ Hua because I was busy filming.
“When the news of Lil’ Hua’s injury was released, I was on set and rushed back overnight.
“But it was too late. There was a lot of evidence that showed that Lil’ Hua had been subjected to domestic violence and was seriously injured. I was about to call the police when they arrived. Someone had already called the police and accused me of abusing my daughter.
“After that, because of this matter, my public image collapsed and the company terminated my contract. Even my friends abandoned me.
“I’ve always been reserved and silent. I don’t like to communicate much, and I rarely tell anyone about my family matters. So after the incident, no one trusted me.”
This was similar to what Su Bei knew about Wu Jiaheng.
He was not very popular. He took every step steadily. He did not have many fans and was a rare and honest male artiste in the entertainment industry.
It was no wonder that when Fu Yujia decided that she wanted to do a good deed, she picked on the weak.
Perhaps Fu Yujia did not actually have the intention of suppressing him. She was just too anxious to do good deeds and didn’t bother to find out the truth at all. She only felt that a single mother must be a weak and good person.
The image of a single mother and her daughter was considered the most sympathetic and disadvantaged group in the eyes of the public. With a little inducement, they could gain a lot of love and support.
However, it was a pity that Fu Yujia was careless and had to pay the price now.
…
“Come with me to a place.” Su Bei stood up, and Wu Jiaheng quickly went out with her.
Su Bei quickly called Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi picked it up and said, “President Su, I’ve found the place where the nanny works according to the information you gave me. I’m pretending to be a nanny looking for a job and managed to have a chat with her. However, she’s very tight-lipped and refuses to say anything.”
“It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t say anything. I’ll come straight over,” Su Bei said.
Wu Jiaheng followed her closely.
The two of them arrived at the nanny agency. Xiao Xi came out and told Su Bei about the situation inside.
…
In the evening, the nanny got off work.
She carried a basket and planned to buy groceries before going home.
When they reached a small alley, Su Bei stopped her with a few people.
“W-Who are you? What do you want to do?” the nanny asked fearfully.
“You don’t have to be afraid. I came to look for you because I want to know how Lil’ Hua got injured.” Su Bei approached her step by step.
The nanny trembled. “You want to ask me about Lil’ Hua? It was her father who beat her up. Everyone knows that.”
“They might believe it, but I don’t! I received a call from someone reporting you. They said that you were the one who hit the child. You abused a child. That’s a serious crime! If you’re convicted, you’ll have to spend at least eight to 10 years in prison!” Su Bei’s tone was threatening.
The bodyguards behind her were all in uniforms. It was easy to scare an uncultured person like the nanny.
The nanny was indeed shocked. “I didn’t! I didn’t hit anyone!”
