The investigation revealed that the online allegations were true; there was no truth to the claim that her family business had improved or that her parents had funded her studies abroad. Furthermore, she was reportedly involved with several wealthy men overseas and was a regular at nightclubs—a fact well-known within that social circle.

In short, they played it very creatively.

She thought that once she returned to China, no one would know about her experiences abroad, but a private investigator found out everything clearly.

Seeing Huo Jincheng's incredulous expression, Huo Linyuan said calmly, "These are all messages sent back by my men. If you don't believe me, you can have someone investigate yourself."

"Jincheng, your taste is really not very good."

Instead of appreciating the good things around him, he insisted on pouring his heart out to a gold digger.

But it's also thanks to his lack of foresight that he met his treasure.

Huo Jincheng's hand trembled as he held the document. After a long while, he finally spoke with difficulty, "Second Uncle, I know what to do."

Huo Jincheng never expected that the person he had always trusted had lied to him for so long. What he found even more unacceptable was that he had stood against Yu Chaoxi many times for Ji Xinxin, until finally Yu Chaoxi became disillusioned with him and left him completely.

All of this was because he mistakenly trusted Ji Xinxin, believing that she was truly as pure and innocent as he remembered.

When Huo Jincheng returned home, Ji Xinxin immediately went up to him and asked, "How did it go? Did your second uncle agree to help deal with the rumors online?"

Huo Jincheng didn't speak, but with a stern face, he threw the documents in his hand in front of Ji Xinxin, "How are you going to explain all this?"

Ji Xinxin was startled. Hesitantly, she picked up the papers spread out on the table and began to read. The more she read, the paler her face became.

"Jincheng, where did all these come from? None of these are real!"

Huo Jincheng said coldly, "These were all found out by my second uncle. You say they're false? Why would my second uncle slander you out of thin air?"

"I... He must have been instigated by Yu Chaoxi to fabricate these things to get revenge on me, to get revenge on me for taking you away."

Ji Xinxin dropped the documents, took two steps forward, and grabbed Huo Jincheng's coat. Helpless tears streamed down her pale face, making her look helpless and pitiful.

If Ji Xinxin had cried like this in the past, Huo Jincheng would have been heartbroken. But seeing her now, with tears streaming down her face, he could only think that this woman was a real actress.

He flung Ji Xinxin away, his attitude ruthless, "You move out of my house, now! Immediately!"

"If it weren't for you, Yu Chaoxi and I would never have broken up!"

"No... Didn't you say you've always loved me? You said you'd take good care of me..."

"Don't force me to throw your things out!"

...

When Yu Chaoxi heard about this, Huo Jincheng had already kicked Ji Xinxin out of his place and even intervened to have the company terminate Ji Xinxin's contract. The speed of his actions was astonishing.

Ji Xinxin was already embroiled in scandals, and now that Huo Jincheng was no longer there to support her, no other company would be willing to sign her after her contract was terminated. The entertainment industry is a highly competitive place, full of actors with both good looks and acting skills. If she doesn't appear in public for a period of time, she will gradually be forgotten by everyone.

Yu Chaoxi secretly complained that Huo Jincheng truly lived up to his reputation as a male protagonist in a tragic novel. When he was in love, everything the other person did was perfect, but once he became ruthless, every move the other person made was seen as having ulterior motives and being scheming.

After Huo Jincheng and Ji Xinxin separated, Huo Jincheng took the initiative to ask Huo Linyuan for a position in an overseas branch, saying he wanted to go there to train himself.

His friends all thought he had lost his mind. "Young Master Huo, this decision is too irrational. If you leave, it's equivalent to giving up your status as the heir to the Huo Group."

"Yes! What if your ex-girlfriend has a child with your second uncle? Will you still have a share in the Huo family business?"

Watching Huo Jincheng silently repeat the actions of pouring and drinking wine, his friends who usually drank and had fun with him were all worried for him.

Huo Jincheng downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, then shook his head drunkenly, "You don't understand."

He couldn't bear to watch Huo Linyuan and Yu Chaoxi being so loving and sweet every day in China. The only thing he could do was to wish them well and stay far away.

If I can't see it, I won't feel so bad.

As he wished, Huo Linyuan arranged for him to train at the branch office in Country A.

After Yu Chaoxi signed with Huo's entertainment company, she made new career plans under the arrangement of her new agent, Zhong Qing. She is now famous, but she does not yet have a work that she can be proud of.

So her next plan is to join a film crew and act in a drama. As for the dating reality show "Heartbeat Moment," she doesn't plan to participate.

Participating in this variety show was not her original intention. Moreover, Huo Linyuan is a president who is so busy every day that he sometimes doesn't even have time to rest on weekends. The time he spends participating in variety shows is enough for him to earn hundreds of millions.

She asked her agent to cancel the recording of "Heartbeat Moment" and help her find a suitable script.

The executives at Feng Hua Entertainment all knew Yu Chaoxi's identity. The contract she signed was an S-level contract, meaning she would be given priority in choosing the best resources.

In response, Yu Chaoxi said, "So what if she uses connections and relies on men? Does she have a husband but doesn't use him? Is she just keeping him as a decoration?"

This will show those who criticized her for relying on Huo Jincheng for resources that if she really relied on men, she would have been a top-tier celebrity long ago, instead of lingering in the third or fourth tier!

Yu Chaoxi: ?????

Zhong Qing quickly picked out a few good ones from a bunch of scripts.

"Now that you're famous and popular, a role in a hit drama would be great for your future development. But we have to take it one step at a time; it's impossible to become the lead actress all at once. I've picked out three scripts; which one do you like?"

Yu Chaoxi and the other two took them back and looked at them.

The first character is the second female lead in a period drama called "Mirror Heart". In the early part, she is the white moonlight who dies early and lives in the male lead's memories. In the later part, she becomes a ruthless villain who manipulates people's hearts.

The second and third books also feature the roles of the second and third female leads. One is a junior sister in a fantasy drama, and the other is the second female lead in a campus drama who has a crush on the male lead.

Yu Chaoxi still prefers the first one; it's more appealing.

Zhong Qing said, "I also think the first one is good, but this is Director Xu's drama. He is quite strict in his selection of actors. Every role requires an audition. Even if we have money, we may not be able to get this role."

Yu Chaoxi smiled, "It's okay, I'm confident. When will the auditions for this drama begin?"

Zhongqing, "Next Wednesday."

"Okay, then I'll go to the audition next Wednesday!"

Looking at the confident smile on Yu Chaoxi's face, Zhong Qing felt for a moment that even if she had no background and no reliance on the Huo family, one day she would stand in the spotlight and shine with her own brilliance.

Yu Chaoxi had been a wanderer for several worlds, so acting was a piece of cake for her. After the audition, Director Xu immediately cast her.

Yu Chaoxi didn't hide her audition from Huo Linyuan, but when she excitedly told him that she would be flying to Qing City in half a month to join the film crew, Huo Linyuan belatedly realized that they would be separated for a long time.

Since they met, the two have never been apart for an extended period of time.
