Chapter 580 was censored.
"Aunt Meng, I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."
"Hi." Aunt Meng's laughter came from the other end of the phone, and she scolded, "How can this be your fault? You're a big star now, so many eyes are watching you, just waiting for you to make a mistake and scold you. You know, no one is perfect, who is without any flaws? As long as you have good character, have principles, are kind-hearted, and are sensible and well-behaved, you're a good child."
“It’s their fault for being so harsh on such a good child, not yours.”
Ye Wanxi could hear the heartache hidden behind Aunt Meng's complaints. Her nose tingled slightly, and she responded softly, "Mm."
"If we're talking about who's implicated, it's me who's implicated you. I... I've never been on TV or met any media reporters. I didn't know there were such malicious people who twisted perfectly good words into completely opposite meanings, almost ruining your life."
“I already know about this. Don’t take it to heart. This kind of thing is quite common in the industry. It’s just a deliberate attempt to mislead you and make you say the opposite of what you mean to create buzz for them. It’s not your fault, and the matter has already been resolved, so please don’t blame yourself anymore.”
Ye Wanxi then smoothly changed the subject: "I heard that the library in the college is almost finished?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Aunt Meng's attention was indeed diverted. "You've been gone for several months, and the library is already built. A few days ago, a kind person took the lead in donating a batch of tables, chairs, and bookshelves, and many kind people also sent a lot of books and materials. These days, everyone is busy sorting and organizing them."
"By the way, after that interview, many volunteers came to our institute. Basically, a group of them would come every week. Many of them were young girls and boys in their early twenties. At first, I didn't realize it, but later I heard them talking about it and found out that they were all your fans."
Ye Wanxi was stunned when she heard this. She remembered that during the live stream, many fans said they wanted to go to the orphanage to volunteer and wait for her.
Unexpectedly, some people had already taken action before she even returned.
"Did they...help?"
“They’ve been a huge help. There are so many children in the orphanage, and so few people to look after them. These young girls and boys have come and played with them, taught them to read, helped them with chores, feeding them, and putting them to bed. They’ve helped me a lot.”
Ye Wanxi let out a long breath, and her smile deepened: "Is that so? That's good."
"Yes, they are all good children. Wanxi is a good child, and those who like Wanxi are also good children."
Aunt Meng loves children; in her eyes, there are no bad children. That's good, though. With these people around, Aunt Meng should gradually forget about this accident.
There will always be some disappointments in this world, but there are far more heartwarming moments that bring joy.
The two chatted about the children in the courtyard, and Aunt Meng invited Ye Wanxi to go back and see the newly completed library.
Ye Wanxi also wanted to go, but she had just returned and mentioned the orphanage during her live stream, so there was no guarantee that there might be media secretly staking out the area.
The courtyard had finally returned to its former tranquility, and Ye Wanxi did not want any more trouble, so she told Aunt Meng that she had just returned and had a lot of work piled up, and that she would go to see them after she finished.
Aunt Meng, unsuspecting, smiled and said, "Work is important. The orphanage is here, and everyone is here. We're not going to run away. You can come back to see us anytime you want."
"Um."
Ye Wanxi didn't expect that she had hit the nail on the head. She had just told Aunt Meng that she had been very busy with work lately.
As soon as she hung up the phone, Gao Min ran upstairs and looked at Ye Wanxi, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Ye Wanxi was amused by her conflicted look: "Just say what's wrong. What happened this time?"
"Nothing happened. Just now, Caiwei magazine called to ask if you're back and if you could come over in the next few days to shoot the magazine cover and inside issue. They want to use your photo for their first cover next month."
Ye Wanxi vaguely remembered the name "Caiwei" (采薇). It was the cover of a magazine she had just received before leaving home, and it was said to be the top of the five major women's fashion magazines in China.
It has been featured on most of the top actresses in the industry, making it a fashion cover that reflects one's status.
At the time, "Caiwei" was talking to them about the opening cover of the year, which is one of the key covers that are highly valued throughout the year.
Therefore, Gao Min attached great importance to this magazine cover and began preparations several weeks in advance.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Due to the pandemic, Ye Wanxi was caught off guard.
Ye Wanxi thought that such a big magazine would have strict requirements for the artists it collaborated with, and after this accident, it would probably have already blacklisted her.
Unexpectedly, the other party did not terminate the contract and contacted Gao Min immediately after she returned.
Seemingly noticing Ye Wanxi's confusion, Gao Min sighed and said, "The opening cover of 'Caiwei' is a major cover, and their willingness to give it to you is a recognition of your own strength and popularity. As a result, you left it blank at the last minute, which definitely made them unhappy, and they almost terminated the contract. Later, it is said that the founder of 'Caiwei' learned about your situation and decided to keep the cooperation."
"Of course, the first issue of the year is definitely sold out. It's been several months, and their current season's magazines have long been sold out."
"Whom did they turn to afterward?"
"We found a veteran actress to fill in. I heard she has some connections with the founder of 'Caiwei' and was brought in at the last minute to repay the favor."
Hearing this, Ye Wanxi felt a little guilty, because her problem had caused quite a bit of trouble for others.
"So what they're asking me to film now is..."
"It's the autumn issue, so it should be on the market by the beginning of next month. It's in a bit of a rush."
Gao Min was also surprised when she learned about this. In her opinion, no matter how anxious Caiwei was, it should have published Ye Wanxi's article in the next quarter.
After all, these publications are usually decided one or two months or even longer in advance. If this publication is going to be published at the beginning of next month, the cast must have been decided long ago, and the photoshoot may have even been completed.
Why did they make arrangements as soon as Ye Wanxi returned?
"Could it be that they're trying to squeeze out the original candidate because I'm currently popular?" If that's the case, it would be incredibly unfair.
Ye Wanxi's problem was also something Gao Min had been worried about.
"No, I just talked to them and they originally planned to feature Xiang Xiaoxiao in this issue."
"Pfft..." Ye Wanxi was about to drink some water when she heard this and choked. "Cough cough, who did you say...?"
Gao Min understood her surprise, and a slight smile played on her lips, revealing a hint of smug satisfaction: "You heard me right, Xiang Xiaoxiao, that Xiang Xiaoxiao."
"How could it be her?" Ye Wanxi's expression was subtle. "No, if she was chosen, why was it changed to me?"
"What else could it be? Of course, it's because she messed with the wrong person and got blacklisted."
