Chapter 317: Explosive Scandal

Su Xue had asked for leave and didn’t come to school today after being humiliated at school. However, she was caught on camera with disheveled clothes, running out of the residence of a famous best actor, Lin Zihan, with a terrified look on her face.
The headline was especially eye-catching,
“Famous best actor, Lin Zihan, has no morals and forced young popular schoolgirl to sleep with him.”
Comments from keyboard warriors on their high horses flooded the post, accusing Lin Zihan of being an animal, not a man.
There were even some who begged the country to castrate such an immoral star; to cut off his genitals and feed them to the dogs. The less informed followed suit and scolded Lin Zihan for not being human.!!
It was also highlighted in the news article that Lin Zihan, who had received numerous acting contracts and endorsements, had already been terminated by many companies. Some companies had even started preparing lawsuits against Lin Zihan, asking for huge compensations.
Lin Zihan instantly went from being a big star that everyone loved to a pariah that everyone wanted to beat up. All of this was because of Su Xue. Lin Zihan was the star of a Mango TV entertainment program, and a money-spinner, but suddenly, this thing happened.
Although the company had been doing damage control, this news was too explosive and had offended many people who thought that such a star would only generate negative news and should not continue to appear on television.
Moreover, Lin Zihan had never had any scandals. When such a thing suddenly happened, he’s like a white towel being thrown into mud. It could not be washed clean no matter how hard one tried. Some people even thought that Lin Zihan might have more such scandals and simply could not accept it.
Su Jin laughed mockingly when she saw the news. Perhaps people did not know why Lin Zihan had been clean all this while, but she happened to know about this before she was reborn. Lin Zihan actually liked men.
Not just any man but one he had raised himself. To be more precise, it was a boy. A boy who was adopted by Lin Zihan from an orphanage. He should be around eighteen years old this year, while Lin Zihan was already thirty-three.
That boy had always been very grateful to Lin Zihan and treated Lin Zihan as a father. Lin Zihan knew that the boy treated him as a father, so he continued to play the role of a father and never dared to reveal his feelings for the boy.
The reason why Su Jin knew was that in her previous life, this boy had a girlfriend and brought her home to meet Lin Zihan. Lin Zihan pretended to be indifferent when he was, in fact, very sad. He went to a bar late that night to get drunk, and then got into a car accident.
Towards the end of his life, he found a lawyer, who was also a friend, and gave all his assets to the boy. In order to not make the boy too sad, he never expressed his love to the boy and brought the secret to his grave.
However, this friend of Lin Zihan knew that Lin Zihan did not want to make things difficult for the boy. But once when he was drunk, he was very unhappy with the boy, beat him up and questioned him why he didn’t understand Lin Zihan’s intentions.
After the boy found out the truth, he broke up with his girlfriend out of guilt. However, after they broke up, his girlfriend who had always been after their money, angrily called up a reporter and exposed that Lin Zihan liked men. This revelation caused a sensation in the entertainment industry, but the Lin Zihan then was no longer alive.
The public did not scold Lin Zihan because he liked men. Instead, they sympathized with him because even till death, he did not express his love to his beloved. Many people even felt that Lin Zihan had died in vain.
Su Jin frowned as she thought about this. She knew that Lin Zihan’s current situation was Su Xue’s way of creating hype. One must admit that Su Xue was really good at framing others. Lin Zihan, who clearly liked men, had been slandered as a woman rapist!
Su Jin took out her phone and immediately used hacking skills to investigate Lin Zihan’s current situation. After getting through the company firewall, she found Mango TV’s solution to this problem, which was make Lin Zihan admit that he and Su Xue were engaged to be married soon.
This would shut up the crazy media and make them say that the two of them were in a normal relationship. Moreover, Lin Zihan was a responsible man and would marry Su Xue. This would be a good way to restore Lin Zihan’s image.
