"Alright, after your graduation concert is over, I'll come to Gusu to find you. This New Year's, you should come to my place!" Once he got home, Zhang Menglong naturally started to chat with Lu Yiyao over a video call, "Don't worry, I definitely don't have any other intentions. I'm just afraid you'll be lonely and cold all alone through the long nights." "Cold my foot!" Lu Yiyao seemed to suddenly realize something that might happen, and her face immediately flushed with a rosy color, "Who said I'm going to spend New Year's at your place? If I have to meet your parents too, I... I'm afraid they won't like me." "If you're not coming here, where else will you go?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "Are you going to your dad's hospital to play God of Gamblers with him?" That hospital had essentially become Lu Yiyao's father's private hospital. It seemed he had truly lost his mind. Not even treatment from a group of specialists had improved his condition. He even dressed up in God of Gamblers' attire every day, acting delusional. Of course, Ye Yin had once told Zhang Menglong that there was indeed a way to treat Lu Yiyao's father's mental illness. Yet, Zhang Menglong felt there was no need for it because his domestic violence and his mental illness were unrelated. Better to let him continue living in his grand delusions! Upon hearing this, Lu Yiyao's expression dimmed as well. That's right, with her father like this and her mother having started a new family, where else could she go? For the past two years, she had spent it alone in school, her only companions being the New Year's fireworks and an empty dormitory. "And you don't have to worry about my parents," Zhang Menglong said, not even he knew where on earth his parents had gone to. But Zhang Menglong always had to fabricate some story; otherwise, Lu Yiyao might start thinking he was an orphan. "My parents handed over the family assets to me and then set off to travel the world. They said it would take at least three to five years to get their fill of fun before they came back, so you don't need to worry," Zhang Menglong laughed, "By that time, we might even have a little Menglong." "What little Menglong!" Lu Yiyao's cheeks instantly turned red, "You're asking for it!" "Alright, it's settled then," Zhang Menglong said forcefully, "This year you're staying by my side, you're not allowed to go anywhere else or hide away, got it?" "Okay, okay, I got it!" "Cool, I'm going to take a shower!" "I'm going to shower too!" Zhang Menglong chuckled lewdly, "Then let's shower together!" "Get lost!" ... With wet hair, Zhang Menglong walked out of the bathroom. Out of habit, he unlocked his phone and saw numerous unread messages; not only from Wang Ling but also from Lu Yiyao, and even his roommate. "What's going on?" Zhang Menglong first clicked on Lu Yiyao's voice message. "Zhangzi, quick, check out Weibo. Something's happened!" "Weibo?" Zhang Menglong then opened the chat group of his dorm mates, only to see a string of screenshots from Weibo. "Have you forgotten about Qiao Cheng from last year? Before he retired due to depression, whom did he provoke? I don't think I need to say more." "Online violence, huh? Truly despicable tactics!" "Want to talk about online violence? Lord Zhang's fans will show you what cruelty means!" "From now on, this place shall be Zhang Menglong Square, initiating Underworld blessings attack!" "I wish you get hit by a car when you leave your house and that an ambulance happens to pass by immediately!" "I wish that your cremation will result in Shariras, not just one but two!" "I wish if you get cancer, it turns out to be in the early stage!" "I wish that your grave lies in a geomantic treasure spot!" "I wish if you buy insurance, it will definitely take effect!" "I wish if you get a fatal disease, you have surely bought critical illness coverage!" ... After Dai Qingying's fans got their accounts banned and muted, Zhang Menglong's fan's voices finally erupted. In their eyes, Zhang Menglong might be rich, but he was also a person with proper principles; even the things he did a few days ago in Qingqiu Country were quite satisfying, thus gaining him quite a few fans. "Hahaha, such talent, I'm dying of laughter!" Zhang Menglong looked at the sarcastic 'blessings' from his fans—truly worthy of being his fans! However, afterwards, a Weibo post by a professor named He Li surged to the top of the trending searches. "It's truly disheartening to see such things happening in Huaxia's film industry. Actors' lives shouldn't be this extravagant, nor should the industry be directed by a rich second generation with no understanding and poor values. I believe actors like Dai Qingying deserve respect!" Although Zhang Menglong's name wasn't mentioned in this post, it clearly insinuated criticism against him. Beneath this post, millions of likes and tens of thousands of comments appeared, all expressing supportive remarks! "Who is this He Li?" Zhang Menglong casually asked Hong Yi, who had just brought him his late-night snack. "Oh, this Professor He Li is quite famous at the Huaxia Film Academy, and many film kings and queens have come from his teachings. He has considerable prestige in that circle. Dai Qingying was the last student he took on before retiring." "Oh, I get it," Zhang Menglong nodded slightly, "after dealing with the younger one, here comes the older one!"
