On the Star Treasure Live Stage, the elegant and intellectual actress An Ye followed the script and chose to “seek help from the audience.”

In her earpiece, the director was shouting frantically out of control:

“The number An Ye’s assistant gave us is unreachable!! Give me An Ye’s phone! An Ye, I’ll have the on-site assistant hand you your phone — just pick anyone!”

An Ye, mind blank, maintained a calm smile and lightly nodded while pressing her mic return.

It was a live broadcast. She didn’t have time to think. She randomly dialed the first number in her chat history:

The head of her legal team — Chi Tuo.

The call connected.

Before An Ye could say anything, a hoarse, hungover male voice came from the other end:

“An Jiujiu, did you use a permanent marker to draw that turtle on my face last night?!”

An Ye: …………

Host: …………

After the show ended, An Ye’s WeChat exploded — all from Chi Tuo, the head of her legal team.

Chi Tuo: Weibo’s top trending topic is “An Ye secretly married.”

An Ye: Sue them for defamation.

Chi Tuo: The most viral rumor from the marketing accounts is: “An Ye and a certain film emperor have been in a long-term relationship and already have a child.”

An Ye: ? Which film emperor?

Chi Tuo: ???

An Ye: …Sue them for defamation.

Chi Tuo: Has your studio’s PR statement been written? Let me see it.

An Ye: “The call-in during the show was from my long-time bestie. A voice changer was used. Please don’t overanalyze.”

Chi Tuo: …You post it. If it gets reposted over 500 times, I’ll sue you for defamation.
