Chapter 90 The Immortal Aura Dissipated
The cameraman who filmed this scene cleverly moved the camera closer, so everyone could clearly see Lin Manxi's sharp, long fingernails scratching two bloody marks on Luo Jia's hand.
[Holy crap, what grudge could she have held against someone? To scratch someone like that with her fingernails, Lin Manxi must have used every ounce of her strength.]
Oh no, the 'Fairy Sister' isn't ethereal anymore...
[Haha, did the fairy aura dissipate?]
[I don't understand what she's doing. Have you heard anything about any personal feud between Luo Jia and Lin Manxi?]
I don't know, I've never heard of them having any connection.
[Sigh, I bet it's probably because of Actor Gu...]
[...I told you not to get involved, how come you can drag everything into Gu Yishen's name!]
The next scene shows Luo Jia looking angry, and at the same time, somewhat helplessly reflexively trying to push Lin Manxi away.
Perhaps to maintain her balance, Lin Manxi grabbed Luo Jia's arm.
Then it turned into what they had seen in the live stream: Luo Jia angrily shoved Lin Manxi away, and Lin Manxi stumbled and fell hard.
However, in this close-up shot taken by the cunning photographer, everyone can clearly see that when Luo Jia shook off Lin Manxi, his wide sleeves accidentally knocked over the prop candlestick on the table.
As the candlestick tipped over, the loosely inserted candle flew off due to inertia, and the sharp tip of the candlestick grazed Luo Jia's arm, tearing a gash in his sleeve.
Because the theatrical costume Loka was wearing at the time was a loose-fitting robe, it was not possible to see from the footage exactly how Loka's arm had been cut.
Judging from the last frame of the video, there did indeed appear to be some bright red blood seeping through the sleeves of Luo Jia's robe.
It might also be related to the fact that Luo Jiayin was dressed in a white, ethereal outfit today; the two bloodstains were quite noticeable against the pure white fabric.
Director Xu is really cunning...
The camera deliberately lingered on this scene at the end, as if afraid people wouldn't know that it was Lin Manxi who caused Luo Jia's injury. The blatant favoritism is obvious!
However, given Director Xu's personality, when did he become so close to Luo Jia?
Gu Yishen thought to himself.
That kid Luo Jia...
It really does appeal to people of all ages, genders, and personalities.
Gu Yishen couldn't help but picture Luo Jia's face, sometimes cheeky, sometimes icy cold.
But this kid is really quite adorable, very likable...
"Eek!"
Gu Yishen jolted uncontrollably, then felt a moment of utter bewilderment.
What just happened?
What strange thoughts were I having just had?
What's wrong with him? How could he find Luo Jia, a grown man,... cute...?
Gu Yishen shook his head twice, quickly regaining his serious demeanor.
...
In the lounge, Luo Jiayin watched the live broadcast on the large screen, leisurely lounging on the sofa, crossing her legs and swinging them smugly a couple of times.
Yu Jiu and Sister Mei shook their heads, both amused and annoyed, at Luo Jiayin's smug expression.
"Luo Jia! Look at you, so carefree and irresponsible. Can't you be serious for once? The person who's coming to invite you is probably on their way right now."
Yu Jiu said to Luo Jiayin with a look of disappointment and frustration.
"Oh." Upon hearing Yu Jiu's words, Luo Jiayin obediently sat up straight this time.
Sister Mei smiled helplessly, then picked up her phone and dialed Mr. Wang's number to report the latest developments on site.
Sure enough, less than five minutes later, the staff member sent by Director Xu to invite Luo Jia to the scene came knocking on the door.
After listening to the staff relay Director Xu's question, Luo Jiayin kindly told the staff that she understood and would come to answer right away.
After receiving Luo Jiayin's affirmative reply, the staff politely bid farewell to Luo Jiayin and the others, left Luo Jiayin's lounge, and went to report back to Director Xu.
"Please wait a moment, Teacher Gu. Teacher Luo Jia said he'll be right there."
On site, Director Xu received a notification from the staff and relayed Luo Jiayin's words to Gu Yishen.
"Thank you so much, Director Xu. I'm sorry for the trouble."
Gu Yishen politely thanked Director Xu, who also politely replied "Not at all." After that, everyone fell silent and waited quietly for Luo Jiayin's arrival.
Throughout the entire process, Lin Manxi endured the most hardship.
When Gu Yishen first came forward to apologize, she was overjoyed, thinking that Gu Yishen had "had a change of heart" and wanted to protect her and stand up for her.
It wasn't until Lin Manxi heard what Gu Yishen and Director Xu were saying that she realized Gu Yishen wasn't trying to stand up for her at all; he was clearly trying to smear her and stand up for Luo Jia!
Lin Manxi originally held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that whatever happened back then, only heaven, earth, she, and Luo Jiayin knew.
Even if Gu Yishen saw it, so what? It's all just empty words. She can just insist that she didn't do anything and that it was Luo Jia who suddenly attacked her.
Then, after returning, Lin Hecheng can manipulate public sentiment and spread rumors that "Luo Jia has bad character." At that time, the viewers in the live broadcast room and the netizens who watched the show will still be biased towards her.
She never imagined that Director Xu had such a trick up his sleeve!
She'd been recording the show for half a day, how come she didn't notice there was a camera specifically watching her?
At that time, she deliberately found the perfect angle to turn her back to the camera that was responsible for her live broadcast!
To everyone's surprise, Director Xu actually had such a clear playback video.
Lin Manxi also watched the video that was just played on the big screen.
From an outsider's perspective, Lin Manxi just looked like a madwoman who suddenly went berserk, mindlessly scratching Luo Jia...
Lin Manxi was terrified at this moment.
She worried that the gentle and sweet "fairy sister" image she had worked so hard to build would vanish in an instant.
Losing reputation and fan support means...
She will drift further and further away from Gu Yishen. If she has a bad reputation, even if she does end up with Gu Yishen, his huge fan base will not accept her.
Given the personalities of Sega Entertainment's executives, Gu Yishen was still Sega's "pillar" at the moment, and Sega still relied on Gu Yishen to make a lot of money. How could they possibly "accept" Gu Yishen being with a nobody just because of their own infatuation?
If Gu Yishen insists on this approach, given the personalities of Sega's board members, they might choose to abandon him...
