Chapter 504 personally... fire her
The Yide Art Gallery’s official Weibo account also released a video to debunk the rumors.
Not only were the letters once shared between the old gentleman and Madam Chen presented in a beautiful artistic form, but also photographs of the two from their younger years were made public.
In the end, it was the old gentleman’s video.
"I am Zhong Yide, also the ’rich patron’ in the scandal involving Yunlian Studio these past few days. When I first heard this claim, I found it particularly absurd. I don’t understand why so many people would engage in online violence against a sixty-year-old without knowing the truth behind the story. What kind of pleasure can this bring you?"
"When the rumors first began to spread, I did not immediately come forward to clarify the truth because the perpetrator was after all a family member who had been with Yunlian for forty years. Even though I had been maliciously slandered, considering the perpetrator was young, I really wanted to give them a chance to rectify their actions. However, when Yunlian’s mobile number was leaked yesterday, and she received dozens of calls cursing her out, I suddenly realized something; they weren’t in need of an opportunity, but a slap in the face."
"Here, I must make the most serious clarification. Yunlian and I grew up together, were childhood sweethearts, and later we worked in the same opera troupe, until we were separated. We are each other’s family, and so, we cherish the affection after our reunion. I hope that people outside can stop all speculation about Yunlian. As for the fame and fortune you care about, she never took them to heart."
"Finally, I want to warn some young men of wealth and privilege, not to bully others because of their kind-heartedness by relying on their family background. Believe me, karma is real in this world!"
Besides the video and photos, the official Weibo account also released proof of Madam Chen entrusting the art gallery to carry out charitable work.
With that, the truth was out.
There was no such thing as a mistress to a wealthy man, just a family reunion.
