Lin Shi woke up refreshed, only to be dragged away by a phone call from Su Jin.
"This is your home..."
Lin Shi looked up at the Gu family's decor like a stray dog entering the city.
"Can I work as a security guard at your house? I'm a five-star general at Country Garden, with a proven track record."
Su Jin ignored her nonsense and recounted everything that had happened last night.
"...You mean, you told your husband you wanted to keep a male model as a mistress? Even tofu has brains, but you don't. Who would agree to that?"
Su Jin frowned. "I really have my reasons. You have to believe me!"
Lin Shi's lips twitched. "Did you laugh when you said that? You can fool your girlfriends, but don't fool yourself too."
Su Jin lowered her head and hesitated for a long time, seemingly having made up her mind.
"I'm telling you my reasons, but please don't think I'm mentally ill."
"Okay, go ahead."
Su Jin took a deep breath. "Actually, I've bound myself to a system, and it's what made me do this."
The air fell silent.
Su Jin watched Lin Shi's facial expressions nervously.
She remained silent, and Su Jin grew anxious, grabbing her arm and shaking it, "Honey, say something! Do you believe me?"
Lin Shi's eyes were vacant. She nodded and hurriedly admitted, "I believe you, I believe you, how could I not believe you? I would have believed it if you said there was sunshine at night."
Su Jin collapsed to the ground, and the system called out to her in her mind, "Host, the conquest mission started yesterday, please complete it as soon as possible~"
"...Can my worthless life really bear so much?"
"Live well, because every day brings new setbacks."
Lin Shi pulled out her phone and started scrolling through Weibo. She's the kind of person who would scroll through Weibo to relieve anxiety even if the sky were to fall.
Surprisingly, today's trending topics are no longer trivial things like #Celebrity'sWaist# or #Celebrity'sAmazingVoice#.
The hashtag #ChenYanxiu'sRelationship# topped the trending searches, followed by the word "hot".
When Lin Shi clicked in, she saw that Weibo was already in an uproar.
The situation is divided into several camps. Shen Yanxiu's fans are controlling comments and refuting rumors in various places, while fans of Shen Yanxiu's rivals are gloating. Of course, there are also onlookers discussing who the girl in the video is.
[Just for reaching out a hand, he's been subjected to such slander. Who exactly is jealous of Chen Ge's resources and trying to sabotage him?]
[Is that just a matter of reaching out? Even if the video is a bit blurry, you can still tell he clicked on a WeChat QR code, right?]
[Nonsense, adding each other on WeChat doesn't automatically mean you're in a relationship. You must have had hundreds of relationships in college, right?]
[Why didn't anyone notice this environment? This is a KTV, right? Adding a girl on WeChat in a KTV, does his intention need to be explained? I didn't expect him to look so respectable, but he's this kind of person in private.]
[You know how it is in the entertainment industry; there's no such thing as an innocent person.]
Lin Shi was too busy to keep up with everything. Then she saw the denial from Shen Yanxiu's studio, which basically said that he went to the KTV that day to discuss work, not because of the messy private life that the haters claimed.
Who is this girl? I can't see her face clearly.
[And they were standing so close, it looked like they were about to kiss.]
Immediately, Shen Yanxiu's fans couldn't sit still and started analyzing the video frame by frame.
[Some people shouldn't talk nonsense if they don't understand. Chen Ge injured his leg two years ago when filming "Chang Yan". Judging from the video, he's supporting his knee, which is probably a recurrence of the old injury. The woman was trying to help him.]
[Exactly, they're spreading rumors without knowing anything!]
Then the hashtag #ChenYanRepairsOldWounds# rose to seventh place on the trending topics list, drawing sympathy from a wave of fans.
It's because he's good-looking and doesn't have any major scandals. Although his acting skills aren't top-notch, they're still watchable in this entertainment industry full of bad movies. He's just not as amazing as his fans claim.
His fans also said: "Brother Shen, as long as you have face, you'll have the country."
However, now that he wants to break into the top tier, his studio has bought some articles to put down other artists, so there must be a lot of haters and people who don't like him who want to kick him while he's down.
Due to various factors, the situation on the online platform was extremely chaotic. Lin Shi was overwhelmed and only then remembered to watch the video they were talking about.
The video was clearly taken secretly in the hallway. She squinted at it and suddenly shouted.
Holy crap!
Lin Shi slapped Su Jin hard, "Get up! Look at yourself!"
Su Jin was lying comfortably and didn't want to get up.
"Don't sleep! You'll have plenty of time to sleep in the fields later!"
She roughly pulled Su Jin up and shoved the phone screen into Su Jin's face.
"The more I look at this, the more it looks like you. Isn't this the outfit you wore yesterday?"
Su Jin took the phone. The video was blurry, but with the vivid narration, it seemed like there really was such a thing.
"Ha... good things never come my way, but bad things always come my way."
At this point, people online had already started trying to figure out who the woman in the video was, with the first guess being that she was someone in the entertainment industry.
Shen Yanxiu's co-stars in every drama have been nominated, but fans reject them all based on their figures.
They even went so far as to compare the woman's exposed hands and ears in the video, as if they were searching for a criminal.
Lin Shi said softly, "Luckily you didn't show your face, otherwise you would definitely have been eaten alive by these fans."
Su Jin opened her chat history with Shen Yanxiu, thought for a long time, and then sent a message: "What's going on with the things online?"
Lin Shi asked her, "But how did you get involved with celebrities?"
"I thought he was a male model..."
Lin Shi chuckled, "Don't you think there are male models that handsome? Haven't you seen his face on TV?"
Su Jin doesn't even have a Weibo account, doesn't follow the entertainment industry at all, and doesn't follow celebrities. Anyone who has killed someone knows that interpersonal relationships are more difficult to manage than dealing with a corpse.
A WeChat notification sounded, and Chen Yanxiu replied: [I'm sorry for the trouble. I thought I had it all sorted out, but I didn't expect the video to still be leaked.]
hotel.
Shen Yanxiu had dark circles under his eyes, the result of staying up all night, but this haggardness added to his broken appearance.
An entertainment agency contacted him last night, asking if he wanted to pay money to settle the matter, as they had a video of Su Jin's face.
Shen Yanxiu bought it with money.
Unexpectedly, others also took pictures of them, although they didn't get a clear shot of Su Jin's face.
Shen Yanxiu sighed in frustration. He had been cleverly fooled many times, carefully made many mistakes, and conscientiously been careless many times.
In summary, his life.
It's okay. Oh, you're a celebrity. No wonder you're so handsome.
Upon seeing this message, Shen Yanxiu breathed a sigh of relief without even realizing it.
Thankfully, I didn't hate myself because of this.
【Thanks. 】
After reading those two words, Su Jin turned off the screen and solemnly said to Lin Shi, "I want to enter the entertainment industry."
