"Huo Linyuan's parents had a business marriage. After Huo Linyuan and his brother were born, they each went their own way."
"When Huo Linyuan was a child, he witnessed his parents having affairs with other men and women, which caused him psychological trauma. He is still unmarried at the age of thirty-five."
"After Huo Linyuan's elder brother and sister-in-law passed away, he adopted his brother's son, Huo Jincheng, and kept him by his side, intending to groom him as the next successor."
Yu Chaoxi nodded, propping her head up. Due to excessive blood loss, her head was spinning. She sat in the car, closed her eyes to rest, and slowly came to terms with her current situation.
The original owner's younger brother gambled away tens of millions in high-interest loans. The original owner's parents favored sons over daughters, treating their sons like treasures and their daughters like trash. They joined forces to pressure the original owner to fill this massive debt.
However, all the money the original owner earned since entering the entertainment industry was sent back to her family. Unless she robbed a bank, where would she get tens of millions to pay off her younger brother's high-interest loans?
She wanted to confide in her boyfriend of one year, only to discover that he loved someone else and that she was just a substitute for him.
Add to that the endless insults from online trolls.
Under the pressure of multiple blows, the original owner could not bear it and committed suicide by cutting her wrists at home.
Yu Chaoxi opened her phone and browsed online for topics about her; the comments section was filled with offensive remarks.
[When will Yu Biao die? Are you just jealous of Xin Xin's popularity and deliberately picking fights to gain attention? May your whole family be nothing but graves!]
[Hilarious! Her boyfriend treats her so well, has such a good temper, and gives her resources to promote her—he's practically the perfect boyfriend! And she still suspects Huo Jincheng and goes to catch him cheating? Huo Jincheng and Ji Xinxin are just good friends!]
When did Huo kick this woman who had plastic surgery? I get annoyed just looking at her!!!
I was being rude, so I'm leaving now.
[I know the inside story! If it weren't for her boyfriend, she wouldn't even have gotten a minor role! He invested in the production, which is why she got the part! She's a total money-backed actress!]
[Get out of the entertainment industry, backstage girl!]
Besides the comments section where people were cursing her, there were also people sending her private messages with photoshopped funeral portraits and cursing her whole family to die.
Yu Chaoxi glanced at it briefly before putting her phone away.
That's outrageous. If the original owner of this body relied on Huo Jincheng to obtain resources, she would have become a huge star by now, and wouldn't need to worry about tens of millions.
On the contrary, not only did the original owner not gain any benefits from dating Huo Jincheng, but she also attracted a lot of haters who affected her mood.
Yu Chaoxi clenched her fist secretly. If nothing unexpected happened, she would be staying in this world for decades, and she had to change her current predicament. The most urgent thing was to deal with the pressing matters at hand before she could think of a way to get close to Huo Linyuan.
The driver quickly took the person to the hospital entrance.
Yu Chaoxi paid the fare and got off the bus, with less than a thousand yuan left in her card.
She went out without a mask, but luckily it was nighttime and the hospital wasn't crowded, so Yu Chaoxi got an emergency appointment.
It was already 11 p.m. when I got home after treating the wound.
Back home, Yu Chaoxi looked in the mirror. Her round, innocent cat eyes were clear and bright, her features were striking and elegant, and her skin was fair and cool. Purity and beauty appeared on one face at the same time, which was not at all incongruous, but rather unforgettable.
Because of excessive blood loss, his face and lips were pale.
This body has a very good foundation; it's not the surgically enhanced face that people online are talking about.
Yu Chaoxi redeemed beauty pills, body shaping pills, and recovery pills in the store. After taking them, she clearly felt her body recover, and her complexion was much better than when she looked sickly.
The wound shouldn't get wet, so Yu Chaoxi quickly wiped it clean and prepared to go to sleep. Just before going to bed, she received a call from her agent.
"Chaoxi, you've seen the comments online. Because of the video of you criticizing Ji Xinxin, a lot of people are criticizing you online. So the company has decided to suspend all your work schedules for now. You should rest at home during this time."
Yu Chaoxi had expected this, so she didn't refute anything. "Okay, Sister Fang, I understand. Has the company said when I can go back to work?"
Fang Tong stammered, "This... I'm not sure yet. It depends on the decision of the company's upper management. I'll ask around for you once the hype dies down."
Fang Tong finished speaking in a few words and then hung up the phone.
Yu Chaoxi guessed that the company didn't plan to take care of her anymore, so she wasn't too sad. Anyway, taking a break would make it easier for her to find opportunities to get closer to her target.
The Ji Xinxin that Fang Tong mentioned on the phone is Huo Jincheng's white moonlight when he first returned to China. With Huo Jincheng's help, she entered the entertainment industry as soon as she returned, with him investing money and resources in her, and she landed several good roles in dramas. Now she's a popular young actress.
When Yu Chaoxi went to see Huo Jincheng last time, she found Huo Jincheng and Ji Xinxin on a date. She rushed up to question them, and this scene was captured by paparazzi and uploaded to the internet.
She questioned him aggressively, while Ji Xinxin offered a weak and pitiful explanation. This scene spread online, and netizens sympathized with Ji Xinxin. Ji Xinxin's fans and countless netizens flocked to Yu Chaoxi's social media account to hurl insults.
I had just finished a call with Fang Tong when Huo Jincheng called me the next second.
“Yu Chaoxi, Xin Xin and I have been good friends for many years. We have a completely innocent relationship. Yesterday, you suddenly rushed in and yelled at her, which scared her. Come over and apologize to her right away. I will forgive you after you apologize.”
Yu Chaoxi: "What if I don't?"
"Don't be stubborn. Your agent has already told you about the company's decision, right?"
Yu Chaoxi narrowed her eyes, her tone turning cold, "Did you pressure the company to stop all my work?"
"That's right! This time, the fault lies entirely with you!"
“If you don’t apologize to Xin Xin, I’ll have them keep cutting off your resources until you apologize on your own initiative. You need to know how fast the entertainment industry changes. If you don’t appear on screen for a few months, everyone will forget about you.”
Huo Jincheng said impatiently, "Besides, Xin Xin also said that as long as you apologize to her and post an apology statement online, she will cooperate with you to post an announcement that the whole internet has forgiven you."
Yu Chaoxi sneered, "What a big mouth you have! Don't you two have any self-awareness about whether you're having an affair or not?"
She hung up the phone without hesitation, added the number to her blacklist, and closed her eyes to sleep.
Inside a high-end club, Huo Jincheng was furious when he heard the busy tone on the other end of his phone.
"That damned woman, Yu Chaoxi, dared to hang up on me?!"
His companion asked, "So? Did she promise to apologize to Xin Xin?"
Huo Jincheng's childhood friend Jiang Yang also frowned in dissatisfaction and chimed in, "Yu Chaoxi has really gone too far this time! You were just catching up with Xin Xin, and she made a scene that's known all over the internet. You've always spoiled her too much."
Huo Jincheng was in a gloomy mood and said coldly, "If she doesn't apologize, I'll break up with her!"
Huo Jincheng knew that Yu Chaoxi loved him terribly and would never break up with him. As long as he threatened to break up, no matter what, Yu Chaoxi would give in to him.
He dialed the number again.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable."
Huo Jincheng cursed, "Fuck!"
Yu Chaoxi actually dared to block him!
...
After taking a nap, Yu Chaoxi woke up feeling much better. Because of the phone call she made before going to bed, she decided to teach Huo Jincheng a lesson before going to find Huo Linyuan.
