Cheng Shan's hospitalization was eventually revealed to the media.
Within half a day, entertainment media magazines on every street corner were filled with a series of eye-catching headlines.
News of top-tier actresses getting drunk late at night and having accidents, and top actresses whose careers have collapsed but who ended up being harmed instead of the victims... caused magazine sales to surge dramatically that day.
The internet was abuzz with trending topics, and netizens were having a blast, jumping from one truth to another.
[What happened to Cheng Shan? Could it be that she knew she was doomed and got into a car accident because she was emotionally distraught?]
[I heard that Xia Chuyue was the one who took her to the hospital. Do you think it's possible that Cheng Shan was trying to harm Xia Chuyue, but accidentally got into trouble herself?]
[This is really complicated; this whole mess is seriously shocking me.]
[Cheng Shan isn't a good person either! She deserves to die!]
[Stealing graduation project drawings, allowing fans to cyberbully ordinary people, smearing and framing other celebrities, having a child out of wedlock... none of these are simple cases!]
The gossip about Cheng Shan raged online for several days before being overshadowed by new developments.
After Cheng Shan recovered from her injuries, she naturally faced the punishment she deserved.
She was led away by the police, her face pale. When she saw Chu Li standing at the door wearing a black mask, she looked dazed.
Chu Li came here specifically to witness her former best friend and enemy receive the retribution they deserved.
When Cheng Shan passed by her, Chu Li finally laughed out loud with relief.
Cheng Shan knew she had done something wrong and felt sorry for Chu Li. She lowered her eyes and did not ask Chu Li for forgiveness.
Xia Chuyue also took some time to come over, and nodded to Chu Li when she saw her.
Chu Li's eyes also held a few glistening tears, filled with gratitude for her benefactor.
Without Xia Chuyue, I might never have gotten my graduation project back!
Xia Chuyue was busy finishing filming her own movie, so she only came to take a quick look before rushing back to the film set.
The film was almost finished shooting in two months, and all that's left is to do the final touches.
Some of the long shots involving extras did not require Xia Chuyue's participation, and after the wrap party, Xia Chuyue finished her work on the film.
Under her agent's arrangement, Xia Chuyue filmed two more commercials and one short film.
While filming a short film in the studio, Xia Chuyue met an unexpected person.
Xie Yao.
However, Xia Chuyue was not surprised. Xie Yao was a well-known director in the industry, so it was only natural that he would appear in the studio.
However, his fame is limited to those who are unaware of the inside story.
Xie Yao was holding a curvaceous and beautiful girl in his arms. The two were in an intimate and ambiguous posture, flirting in public.
Ignoring everyone else, they shared a passionate kiss.
Xia Chuyue found it too offensive to look at and quickly looked away, continuing to film seriously.
When Xia Chuyue finally had some free time and sat down to rest on the sofa, she discovered that Xie Yao and the girl had already left.
Xia Chuyue was just thinking about browsing some gossip when her phone rang; it was Xia Yao calling.
Xia Yao spent six consecutive months filming abroad, working diligently and finally completing her internationally significant transitional work.
The first thing she did after landing was to contact her daughter, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
As Xia Chuyue listened to Xia Yao's gentle and melodious voice, a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
"Yueyue, Mom is home now. I'll have the driver pick you up so we can have a family gathering at noon."
"Oh, right, your aunt will be coming too, and so will your cousin Xiao Xiang."
Xia Yao seemed to be busy cooking something on the other end.
As Xia Chuyue listened to her gentle words of advice, her heart calmed down involuntarily.
"Okay, see you later."
Xia Yao responded cheerfully, put down her phone, and continued cooking porridge for her daughter.
The driver arrived downstairs a few minutes later. Xia Chuyue got into the car, closed her eyes to rest, and headed towards the Xia family villa.
The two stone lions at the entrance of the villa gleamed with a faint light, and an elegant carpet covered the entrance.
Before Xia Chuyue even stepped inside, she heard the girl's laughter.
She walked in and looked up to see her cousin Xia Xiang, whom she had only met once before.
And my cousin Shen Qing, who just returned from filming a variety show in another city.
Shen Qing was still dressed as a boy, and he even had an ear cartilage piercing, which made him look even cooler.
Upon seeing Xia Chuyue, Shen Qing stood up with a smile.
"Come on, we've been waiting for you to eat."
Xia Chuyue was slightly surprised, but when she saw that her other cousin, Xia Xiang, did not show any surprise towards Shen Qing, she raised an eyebrow.
“We’re all family, there’s nothing to hide. I’ve told my mom and Xiao Xiang about my identity.”
Shen Qing smiled broadly, not at all bothered that her secret was known to her family.
Xia Xiang also had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of disbelief.
“I really didn’t expect that not only would my sister be found, but she would also have such a shocking experience.”
Xia Xiang is a very gentle and reserved girl. Even though her younger sister has changed a lot, she is still tolerant and surprised when she finds her.
The group chatted and laughed as they sat down at the table, ready to begin their meal.
Xia Chuyue then noticed that Xie Yuanping was not present at this family gathering.
Xia Yao squeezed Xia Chuyue's hand, her eyes filled with tenderness and pity.
“He didn’t come. He always makes you upset when we eat together, so we’re not inviting him this time.”
Xia Chuyue felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this.
When Xie Yuanping was mentioned, Xia Chuyue couldn't help but think of Xie Yao, whom she had met at the photography studio that day.
Xie Yuanping is truly a scumbag. Not only did he have an illegitimate daughter with his first love, but he also has an illegitimate son, Xie Yao!
This Xie Yao has mastered the ways of a spoiled brat to perfection.
Because he was a boy, and also the son of Xie Yuanping and his first love, Li Ling, he was burdened with high expectations from birth.
Not only did she share the surname Xie with Xie Yuanping, but her given name, "Yao," was also something Xie Yuanping thought about for over half a month before finally coming up with.
[This is all so that Xie Yaoguang can bring glory to his ancestors and utterly crush the Xia family under his feet!]
Xie Yuanping has devoted himself entirely to his son!
Despite knowing his son's average intelligence, Xie Yuanping still generously used his connections to pave the way for Xie Yuanping's career in the entertainment industry!
He knew Xie Yao lacked ability, so he spent a fortune buying up many impressive works to barely manage to make Xie Yao appear as a "talented director."
It's truly laughable that Xie Yuanping looks down on his son Xia Chen, yet he makes Xie Yao compare himself to Xia Chen in everything.
Even becoming a director is all so that one day I can surpass Xia Chen in this field and leave him utterly humiliated!
[This is to prove that Xie Yuanping's genes are the best, and that the Xia family only benefited from their wealth.]
