Chapter 27 part 3

This chapter is for Jaqueline. Thank you so much for supporting me on Kofi.

She said that Bian Xin would indeed face consequences for her actions, but those consequences wouldn’t be as simple as getting kicked off the set.

Immediately, Xia Shutong picked up her phone and sent a message to Director Dai Su: 【Director Dai, the actress for the second female lead in ‘Chasing Light’ has changed. We need you to audition again.】

Fortunately, Bian Xin’s role so far wasn’t too extensive, so it wouldn’t delay the film too much.

…

Nighttime.

Bian Xin returned to the Sea City apartment, looking dejected.

Bian Xin shrugged her shoulders indignantly, opened Weibo, and sure enough, she saw the trending hashtag #BianXinCausesYunFeiWuHospitalization#, followed by the word “Exposed.”

Clicking on it, she found posts from various marketing accounts.

The general content was similar: 【Young actress Bian Xin, driven by jealousy of Yun Feiwu’s acting skills, maliciously tampered with a prop during filming, causing Yun Fei Wu’s hospitalization. Unexpectedly, the truth was uncovered by the production team, leading to her expulsion.】

One of the posts, authored by a marketing editor, even added a particularly snarky remark: 【I used to ship the Starry Sky CP* genuinely~ Who would’ve thought that Bian Xin could be this kind of person? Truly, you can know someone’s face, but not their heart. I won’t ship CPs so recklessly anymore~】

*Bian Xin and Yun Feiwu’s CP name

There were several comments from CP fans as well: 【I must’ve been blind to think Bian Xin and Yun Feiwu were a couple. She’s gone too far, ugh!】

Bian Xin was so furious that her body trembled, her hands and feet grew cold, and she almost threw her phone.

If it weren’t for Yun Feiwu’s fame being exploited by the company, why would she have participated in a CP? It was enough to make her sick. Moreover, Yun Feiwu’s company hadn’t objected to the CP before, so why were they singling her out for public punishment now?

Bian Xin, trying to control her anger, continued scrolling through Weibo, and sure enough, she soon came across a clarification post from her own company.

“Our artist Bian Xin has withdrawn from the production due to illness, and Bian Xin has had no external contact with Yun Feiwu, an artist from Wutong Entertainment. We urge everyone not to spread rumors or believe in them.”

The initial comments under this post were fairly supportive:

【Thank you for clarifying! Bian Bian, take care of your health!】

【Tsk, our Bian Bian is so gentle, yet she’s being smeared as a harmful person. Do these marketing accounts have no conscience? I hope the company takes good care of Bian Bian and prevents her from suffering further harm.】

【What about the clarification from the production team? Is the trashy team trying to use our Bian Bian to gain popularity?】

Well, true, without evidence, what could Wutong Entertainment do to her?

However, as she read further down, the comments became increasingly hostile, indicating that the company was struggling to control the situation.

【Is this all you’ve got? It’s 2022, don’t tell me a clarification doesn’t even require an official document with a company seal? Seriously?】

【What’s Bian Xin trying to hide? She harmed our Yun Feiwu and she’s getting away with it? We want her to make a personal statement! Apologize!】

【She used our goddess for CP hype and now she’s turning her back so quickly. Disgusting…】

“Dammit!”

Bian Xin couldn’t hold back any longer and threw her phone to the side with force.

But as soon as she did, the screen lit up.

Bian Xin hit the sofa again in frustration before finally picking up her phone and answering her agent’s call: 【Hello?】

【Bian Xin, you, how could you? I worked so hard to get you a chance to act in a movie, and you go and do something like this?】 The agent’s tone was also clearly impatient, 【They’re deducting the breach of contract fee directly from your salary.】

【Breach of contract fee? What breach of contract fee?】 Bian Xin’s speech quickened, 【It’s the production team that breached the contract by kicking me out. They should be the ones paying the fee!】

The agent replied, 【Come on, Wutong’s legal team has already sent us the video. If we don’t pay, they’re going to release the video publicly. You won’t even know how you’ll end up.】

Hearing the word “video,” Bian Xin’s pupils dilated, and she felt cold sweat forming on her forehead.

【Video? How could there be… There was nobody there at the time, nobody saw me tampering with the wire…】

The agent was still talking incessantly on the other end: 【Exactly, a video. You went to Director Dai’s place in the middle of the night wearing pajamas. The hotel has surveillance cameras… Wait, Bian Xin, what did you just say?!】

【I… I didn’t!】 Bian Xin realized she had slipped up and her voice became sharp, 【Sister Zhang, please believe me, I didn’t do anything.】

But the more she protested, the more it sounded like she was guilty.

The agent’s voice grew more impatient: 【Bian Xin! Did you really do something to Yun Feiwu? Are you out of your mind? I was just complaining about the crazy marketing tonight… She’s with Wutong now, she’s with Xia Shutong! You might not know, but Xia Shutong is crazy. If you’ve offended her, do you think you can still survive in the industry?】

After several more scolding remarks from the agent, Bian Xin finally began to panic: 【Sister Zhang, I didn’t mean to. Initially, I just wanted to teach Yun Fei Wu a lesson… I didn’t know she would get hurt, and Xia Shutong cares so much about her. I… I really didn’t mean to, Zhang Jie, please believe me.】

【Besides, our company is not inferior either, so why can’t we compete with Wutong? Zhang Jie, you will definitely help me, right?】

Everyone could support me in Kofi, for every donation there would be an extra chapter that would be released. Please don’t forget to mention the name of the novel you want to support so that I won’t confuse it with the other novel I’m currently translating.
