“What do you mean by that!” she exclaimed in shock.
The line went silent for a moment before she heard his answer. “Leave Mu Yazhe’s side and come to mine. In return, I’ll hold another presscon and expose Ji Yan’s lie to clear your name.”
“Dream on!” She did not hesitate to spit out. “You’re much more despicable and shameless than I thought. You deliberately cooked up stories just to blackmail me into going over to your side?”
“Well, the method might be a bit despicable, but all I care about is the result, not the process.”
“…”
Sinister, mirthful laughter escaped his lips. “I’ve never failed to get my hands on any woman that I wanted! Even if they don’t belong to me, I’ll do whatever it takes to take them for myself.”
Fury had the actress ending the call abruptly and tossing her phone to the back seat. She then returned to clutching the steering wheel with both hands while looking grim.
…
Ji Yan’s presscon had an explosive revelation about the hidden rules in showbiz. It was something that everyone in the industry knew about but rarely exposed to the public.
To the fans, all idols and celebrities were just as beautiful, clean, and dreamy as they presented themselves on screen. This applied to Yun Shishi especially, for she had always maintained a sweet, harmless, and pure image since her debut film.
This matter, however, had completely put her in the limelight, albeit in a negative way. All the media personnel was out to get their hands on the dirtiest scoop about her.
Some reporters even went as far as to interview schoolmates from her alma maters. It seemed that they would go to all lengths just to expose her dark history to the masses.
Two days ago, Phoenix Media released a video, which was a detailed interview with her fellow alumni.
The video had been processed to blur the faces and change the voices of those interviewed to protect their privacy.
“Ah, Yun Shishi? She’s very famous in school. She studied in the class next to mine and was the campus belle in our college days. A lot of the male students liked her, but I don’t think she got into any relationship, so the guys had the impression that she’s quite standoffish. I had a good impression of her, though I heard that she came from a poor family.”
“She was in the same year as me. When we were still schooling, I heard that her family had incurred a lot of debts and that she had been in a desperate need of money.”
“We had the same electives. My memory of her is that she’s a reserved girl who was good at studying. She had excellent results, so all the teachers were very fond of her. I didn’t hear any negative rumors about her, though… Still, I don’t like to pry into others’ privacy. I’m sorry, but I’ve got nothing else to comment.”
“Yun Shishi? Oh, isn’t she that famous campus belle-cum-prostitute? I heard that she slept with many people, and they’re all old men, but hey, I can understand her plight. After all, she was under great stress since her family incurred a lot of debts then. At that time, it’s common for young, pretty girls to sleep with old men every week in exchange for monetary benefits. Even back then, she’s so pretty; she probably earned quite a bit that way, right?”
