Actually, Lin Que wasn't really to blame for Nie Xue's situation. He didn't have anyone ban Nie Xue back then.

After the incident was exposed, everyone knew that Nie Xue had maliciously tried to gain popularity by associating herself with Lin Que.

Although Nie Xue is a popular young actress, Lin Que is a world-class movie star. Outsiders can naturally tell who is valued more and who is not.

Since his debut, Lin Que has never had any scandals. Nie Xue, on the other hand, plunged headlong into it and fell right into a ditch. The heads of various brands decisively chose to terminate their contracts with Nie Xue because they were afraid that the public's hostility towards Nie Xue would spread to them.

Nie Xue's company knew that they had offended Lin Que and had no chance of recovery. In order to minimize their losses, they had no choice but to abandon Nie Xue as a pawn.

The reason for banning and removing her works was that the incident had become too big, and Nie Xue had already had a significant impact on netizens. After comprehensive consideration, it was decided to remove her works and prohibit her from appearing in the public eye in the future.

Apart from that, all the people involved chose to abandon Nie Xue for their own benefit or to minimize their losses. All Lin Que did from beginning to end was to clarify his relationship with Nie Xue in a very straightforward way.

Ding Ying's words instantly killed Lin Que's appetite. He stood up to leave, but as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and everything in front of him became blurry. Before he could speak, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Lin Que's sudden fainting startled Ding Ying. They heard a sound coming from the private room's restroom, and then the restroom door opened, and a woman walked out.

Upon seeing the woman, Ding Ying turned pale: "What happened? How could he have fainted?"

The woman didn't speak, but walked to Lin Que's side, squatted down, and patted his face.

"Nie Xue! Tell me what's going on!" Ding Ying cried out, grabbing the woman. "I used my own name to lure Lin Que out. If you dare to harm me, we... might as well die together!"

The simply dressed woman in front of him was none other than Nie Xue, a former popular actress.

Since being blacklisted, her life has been tough. The breach of contract fees from various brands and the company have been like a mountain pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe. Without the company's support, she seems like a completely different person in just a short time. She is no longer as radiant and beautiful as before. Now her skin is rough and her eyes are lifeless.

Even though she's only in her early twenties, Ding Ying looks much younger standing next to her!

"Nie Xue, what have you done?!"

After being asked several times, Nie Xue finally gave her a look and said very casually, "Oh, it's nothing, I put something in the teacup."

Judging from her previous relationship, Nie Xue is a scheming woman, and she has calculated everything perfectly this time as well.

Knowing that Lin Que might not drink because he was driving, she secretly put the drug in his tea without anyone noticing, not even Ding Ying.

"..." Ding Ying's face turned pale. "Why did you drug him and knock him out?"

Nie Xue helped Lin Que up from the ground: "You don't need to worry about that."

Having done manual labor for so long, she is much stronger than when she was a star, plus Lin Que wasn't fat to begin with.

Ding Ying panicked: "How can I not care! You have to explain yourself clearly, don't try to get me blacklisted like you!"

"Heh." Nie Xue sneered, "Don't worry, I guarantee Lin Que won't have time to cause you any trouble."
