Chapter 960 Voluntary Withdrawal

Upon hearing this, Gao Min gasped for breath and nearly clutched her chest on the spot.

They're truly rich, but they're also incredibly extravagant!

That's jewelry! It's one thing to give it to an elder, but how can you just give it to a stranger?

Gao Min's heart was bleeding, but that person had long since disappeared, so she could only direct all her resentment at Feng Tianyu's... back of the head.

The president of a prestigious international company is actually living off my little artist's money! Ha!

Feng Tianyu suddenly felt a slight chill on the back of his head. Looking back in the rearview mirror, he met Gao Minman's serious gaze, which was filled with blazing flames.

"..."

"The jade you gave Mom was used to make two pairs of bracelets, three pendants, and six pairs of earrings."

"So many?" Ye Wanxi's eyes widened in surprise. She remembered that the stone was less than the size of her palm!

Seemingly sensing Ye Wanxi's thoughts, Feng Tianyu's smile deepened: "Some jade stones, like gold, are priced by the gram, so carving masters will try their best to make use of everything after obtaining the raw material. Your piece may look small, but after processing, there are quite a few finished products that can be extracted."

Ye Wanxi nodded as if she understood, but she didn't really know much about these things. In the past, when her senior brothers and sisters gave her gifts, they were mostly finished products.

When Ye Wanxi handed the two jade stones to Feng Tianyu that day, she only roughly gestured at them, thinking that such large stones should yield small items like bracelets, necklaces, or earrings. She never expected…

"The one for Yihuan..."

"Her piece was an icy jadeite with floating flowers, slightly larger than the one she gave to her mother. In the end, she bought three pairs of bracelets, five pendants, six pairs of earrings, and four cabochons."

Ye Wanxi: "..." It's outrageous that they took out so much jewelry from such a small amount of stuff!

"Mom and Yihuan each took a bunch of bracelets, a pendant, two pairs of earrings, and a ring. They didn't sell the rest; they've been keeping them, waiting for you to need them so they can be brought to you later."

Feng Tianyu glanced at Ye Wanxi as he spoke, and said with a faint smile, "If you don't wear their designed clothes and jewelry to the red carpet this time, they might not say anything on the surface, but they'll probably be depressed for a while in private."

Ye Wanxi: "..." What's with this inexplicable pressure?

"Then... I'll have to trouble Auntie and Yihuan."

"I think they'll be very happy."

Feng's mother and Du Yihuan were indeed very happy. After receiving Feng Tianyu's call, they dumped the mess at the company onto their son (brother) and happily went to design a new dress and accessories for Ye Wanxi.

Feng Tianyu, who suddenly lost his vacation: "..." Did he end up shooting himself in the foot?

The news that Ye Wanxi was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Sparrow Awards was quickly exposed. Compared to before, several of the things Ye Wanxi has done recently are confidential and not made public.

Therefore, logically speaking, her popularity should be lower than before.

But once this news broke, she inevitably became a trending topic again.

The related topics are a celebration for many fans of the original work and fans of Ye Wanxi's career.

At times like these, there are bound to be haters and some unsavory trolls. Soon, some people started bringing up Fengtianyu and questioning the fairness of the award.

The implication was that Ye Wanxi's nomination was likely due to her boyfriend paying for it.

This infuriated Ye Wanxi's fans, but fortunately, Ye Wanxi's biggest fans are not to be trifled with.

In particular, their family has a tech whiz whose nickname is just a capital letter J, affectionately known as "J-da" by fans.

This person is usually elusive, only appearing when Ye Wanxi is being targeted or slandered.

He doesn't engage in verbal battles; he only presents evidence. No matter the IP address, fan affiliation, or online trolls, nothing escapes his eyes. Every time he strikes, it's like Thor's hammer. He's definitely a man of few words and ruthless actions.

This time was no exception; as soon as these haters and online trolls were in place, he exposed them completely.

Besides the usual haters who criticize Ye Wanxi, several actress marketing teams that hired online trolls were also exposed.

When Ye Wanxi's fans took a look, wow, apart from one or two new generation traffic stars who had little to do with Ye Wanxi but were just following the same path, there were several actresses who were nominated for Best Supporting Actress along with Ye Wanxi this time.

No wonder she immediately started denouncing the awards as unfair and even dragged her boyfriend into it; she was trying to prevent the controversy from escalating!

It's easy to imagine that if this is said now, and Ye Wanxi actually wins the award in the future, even if she truly deserves it, she will definitely be accused of having her boyfriend buy it for her.

Ye Wanxi's fans may have good tempers, but that doesn't mean they are pushovers who can be molded at will.

With this solid evidence in hand, the fans managed to tear apart these competitors who were pulling dirty tricks behind the scenes, leaving them terrified and not daring to utter a single word.

Ye Wanxi didn't pay much attention to the bloody battle between the fans and the haters. What surprised her more was the news that she had once again suppressed.

"Are Lian Lifan and the others leaving the variety show?"

"Yes. The production team just called me. This couple wants to withdraw. Lian Lifan's side has already discussed it with the production team this morning. They're terminating their contract, and they won't be present for any more recordings."

Ye Wanxi narrowed her eyes. Lian Lifan's actions were somewhat unexpected. She thought that even if he broke up with Lin Yuxiu, he would still stick with the show until the end for the sake of popularity.

"What's the reason?"

“He broke up with Lin Yuxiu and could no longer play a couple on the show. He felt that it would be disrespectful to the fans and the audience.”

Ye Wanxi seemed to have heard a funny joke: "Just because of this?"

To be frank, in the first few episodes, she didn't see how much respect this person had for their fans and viewers.

“Something’s not right. Given his team’s past practices, they would never let him cancel the show at this time. Even if the two broke up, they would definitely let them continue filming to guide public opinion and shift the blame for their breakup onto Lin Yuxiu. Not to mention the fatal flaw of the high breach of contract penalty, there must be other more important reasons.”

As soon as Ye Wanxi finished speaking, Feng Tianyu nodded in agreement: "There are indeed other reasons."

"What?"

"Lian Lifan recently got involved with the newly appointed general manager of their agency."

"Their agency's newly appointed general manager?" Ye Wanxi's eyelids twitched. Could it be...?

"It's the one you're thinking of, the second young lady of the Qiu family."

Ye Wanxi: "..." After all this time, these two still ended up bumping into each other!

But then I thought about it again, neither of them are good people, so it's good that they're together. As long as they don't harm other people, it'll be even better.
