Chapter 97
A trending topic has suddenly appeared!
Sun Ziyan suffered a threatened miscarriage and was suspected of having a history of miscarriage, leading to her being kicked out of the wealthy family.
Lin Ting originally wanted to check the online public opinion regarding the plagiarism incident, but found that the top trending topic had changed.
Lin Ting hadn't quite remembered who "Sun Ziyan" was when she first saw it. After a few seconds, she remembered: Qin Fei had pulled her in as a scapegoat when her relationship with Chen Zhiyi was exposed a while ago.
So I immediately clicked on the trending topics.
Sun Ziyan experienced abdominal pain last week and was found to have signs of miscarriage when she went to the hospital. Despite emergency treatment, she could not save the pregnancy. The Xia family felt that something was amiss. How could such a young girl have this condition? An investigation revealed that Sun Ziyan had been in a relationship and became pregnant when she was in high school. She later dropped out of school and underwent a termination of pregnancy procedure. In addition, Sun Ziyan's uterine wall was already thin, which left her with sequelae.
After learning the truth, the Xia family gave Sun Ziyan a sum of money after she was discharged from the hospital. The Xia family already looked down on her, and knowing she was pregnant while still a minor in high school made them even more intolerant of her. They demanded she break up with Xia Minghan, ending her dream of marrying into a wealthy family.
The comments section was filled with sighs and lamentations.
She debuted in a girl group at the age of 20, became a member of a popular girl group at the age of 21, and was exposed to be in a relationship and pregnant out of wedlock at the age of 22. She suffered a threatened miscarriage after only a little over a month, and was also exposed to have a history of underage pregnancy and abortion.
In just two years, he went from being ignored to reaching the peak, and then fell from the peak into an abyss.
This is absolutely unprecedented in the history of the entertainment industry.
Don't let romantic love cloud your judgment, and don't let money and power go to your head.
The foot that had finally reached into the wealthy family was kicked out again.
This could even shatter his dream of marrying into a wealthy family.
Sun Ziyan was filled with remorse and grievances. In order to win the public's sympathy, she was currently recounting her experience on a live streaming platform.
Lin Ting clicked on the live stream link. The interface split into two screens: one showing Sun Ziyan, and the other showing a live stream host.
In the video, Sun Ziyan was crying and sobbing. Her eyes were swollen, her face was pale, and her hair was messy. Who would have thought that just a few months ago she was a glamorous girl group member, but now she looks like an abandoned woman.
The number of viewers watching the live stream has exceeded one million. Instead of feeling sorry for her, people are kicking her while she's down, believing that she brought it on herself.
The comments section was filled with mockery and ridicule.
As fans of the group, we're relieved to see you end up like this. Thank you for leaving the group; the other four members are doing well on their own.
Thank you for serving as a negative example for the entertainment industry, warning those love-struck individuals who dream of marrying into wealth.
Whether you're a man or a woman, career should be your priority.
[A promising future, yet ultimately self-destructed.]
[Family members, isn't the main point that she got pregnant during high school? She has no self-respect; she brought this upon herself.]
It's said that she herself contacted the media to leak the last pregnancy news.
【ah! ! ! 】
[This isn't just self-destruction; it would have been better to settle it privately. Now look what's happened: the child is gone, the wealthy family is gone, the career is ruined, and the shameful past has been exposed.]
Everyone else in the industry gets exposed, but this one self-inflicted damage. If she doesn't ruin her own career, who will?
Upon seeing these comments, Lin Tingxin tensed up, and a chill ran down her spine.
Things indeed went as she expected.
The host asked Sun Ziyan, "The comments on the live stream say that you revealed your pregnancy yourself, is that true? Do you regret doing so?"
Sun Ziyan's slender shoulders trembled, her voice shaking slightly, "I regret it, I regret it so much, but I didn't intend to expose myself back then. It was a big influencer who approached me and advised me to reveal my pregnancy so that public pressure would force Xia Minghan to acknowledge the child and give me a proper status."
Host: "Didn't you hesitate at all? You agreed on the spot?"
Sun Ziyan nodded. "When I found out I was pregnant, I was already single and didn't know who to talk to. Xia Minghan was deliberately avoiding me. Then someone approached me and said they were willing to help me, so I agreed. The next day, I was trending on social media. I didn't expect this big influencer to be so powerful, managing to make all the trending topics about me, while all the other celebrities' scandals were suppressed."
"Now I suspect that the big V was sent by the celebrity who had the romantic scandal at the time, to divert all public attention by exposing my affairs. I was used as a pawn."
The host pressed further, "Who is that celebrity friend?"
Sun Ziyan: "I can't say for sure, he's more famous than me, but there are records online, and everyone can find out who he is with a simple search."
This conversation completely reversed the public opinion surrounding the live stream, prompting viewers to check the recording.
Within seconds, everyone found the same answer: that celebrity friend was Chen Zhiyi.
So, were his rumors true back then?
The long-dormant scandal suddenly became a hot topic again, trending on social media.
One wave subsides only for another to rise. When Lin Ting saw his name trending again, he no longer felt the panic he had the first time. He only felt helpless and amused, and even a little self-deprecating. He considered himself an ordinary person, yet he had appeared on the trending list several times in just a few months. It was a miracle, really. His name wasn't exactly known to everyone, but he was still famous.
Thinking about it this way, I have no regrets in life.
Unfortunately, she didn't become known as she had envisioned, nor did she achieve her dream of becoming a renowned fashion designer known worldwide.
When I saw the WeChat icon at the top of my phone again, I realized I hadn't received any new messages in a long time; it still showed the same message: "Can't come back for now."
Lin Ting knew that she would have to face all the trending topics alone, and if she was overwhelmed this time, she would never be able to get up again.
[Playing this high? Hiring people to act as scapegoats?]
[Isn't Chen Zhiyi's rumored girlfriend Lin Ting, the fashion designer who's recently embroiled in a plagiarism scandal?]
Yes, it's her. It seems Chen Zhiyi truly loves her.
[Trying to protect both his career and his love life, Chen Zhiyi actually hired someone to divert public attention; he's truly ruthless.]
[I always said there's no smoke without fire; nine times out of ten, any rumors or gossip circulating in the entertainment industry are true.]
This is deception; they've completely fooled fans and netizens. This kind of artist should be boycotted.
[This Lin Ting is truly ruthless; to be able to bewitch a top-tier handsome man who frequents flower gardens every day like this, she must have considerable skill.]
[What kind of skills?]
[Where should this kung fu be from? Hahahaha]
[Staring at the face of a pure, innocent first love, yet her methods and scheming are so sophisticated, I'm now pretty sure she really did plagiarize.]
I agree. We should boycott artists who deceive their fans and lack professional ethics, and we should boycott designers who plagiarize even more.
Yes, boycott M Group. If the "Road to the Skywalk" program team doesn't remove Lin Ting from the show, we will boycott her as well.
[I support the comment above, and I support the boycott.]
Soon, the screen was filled with comments boycotting Chen Zhiyi and Lin Ting.
Lin Ting was panicked. It was early summer, but her hands and feet were ice-cold, as if covered by ice and snow. She could clearly feel a dark force around her pushing her into an abyss.
She dialed Chen Zhiyi's number again, but the same thing happened: busy signal or no answer.
She was at a loss, wondering why she suddenly couldn't get in touch with him. Even if the old man was seriously ill, it was impossible for him to not be able to answer the phone at all. Or had he figured things out and chosen family, career, and love over the former?
In an instant, the vows whispered in my ear seemed as absurd as a series of jokes.
Just then, the doorbell rang, and the deliveryman brought a file bag.
Lin Ting tore open the seal, and a large pile of photos scattered on the ground.
Lin Ting received a call from Qin Fei, "Do you have time to meet?" Her tone was that of a victor.
“I’ve been waiting for this call,” Lin Ting replied calmly.
Qin Fei smiled. "Looks like you guessed it all?"
Why did you do that?
Let's talk face to face.
"I can't leave now; a bunch of reporters are blocking the entrance to the residential area."
"No need to go out, it's just in the community, room 1101, building A."
Soon, Lin Ting found Room 1101 in Building A.
