Zi Xi certainly wouldn't sit idly by and wait for her doom.
After finishing work that evening, she typed out a long Weibo post under the hotel lamp.
[Regarding my family, my father passed away when I was 14, and my mother remarried a foreigner three months after the funeral. We haven't been in contact for ten years. We are like strangers. Please don't use family ties to blackmail anyone. —Zhao Zixi]
The moment Zi Xi pressed the send button, she did feel a sense of relief as she shook her worries out of her head.
#Zhao Zixi's Family Background# Explosion
#EmotionalKidnapping# trending
#ZiXi's New Drama Heroine#
[Top Comment] @LegalV: "According to Article 26 of the Civil Code, adult children do have an obligation to support their parents, but this is contingent on the existence of actual support. Ten years without contact is clearly..."
@Psychology professor: "This is a typical example of utilitarian family relationships. I suggest Ms. Zhao hire a lawyer and prepare for potential blackmail."
Zhang Mingzhe was staring at the computer screen when the whiskey in his throat suddenly went into his trachea.
The amber-colored liquor turned into mist, splashing a patch of water on the laptop screen.
His fingers spasmed as he typed on the F5 key, and the comment section refreshed like a revolving lantern.
The top comments were all in-depth analyses of the mother's accusations by psychology bloggers, interspersed with discussions about the audience's expectations for the plot of "Heroine".
The few existing comments criticizing filial impiety have already been overwhelmed by netizens and relegated to the "folded" section.
"grass!"
The latest laptop flew through the air in a silver arc, accompanied by a tooth-grinding thud, before bursting into a metal and plastic burst on the wall.
The splattered buttons landed on the carpet like popcorn.
Outside the door, the new assistant clutched his file bag and shrank back.
She quietly counted the cracks in the floor tiles; she had lost count of how many computers this month had broken down.
At Studio 3, Block B, Hengdian World Studios, a production assistant bent down and handed over a thermos: "Sister Zixi, please don't worry about what's online. This is sugar-free grapefruit tea."
"Thanks."
The crimson "hot" title on the trending search list was reflected on Zi Xi's face.
She glanced at the trending topics list and smirked at the surreptitious camera flashing in the corner.
No matter who's messing with her, the game has only just begun.
It wouldn't be fun if the opponent fell down before she even made a move.
Lu Xiaomi stared at her phone screen, her fingertips repeatedly swiping across the trending search terms.
The trending topic following #Zhao Zixi's Family of Origin# was so eye-catching, and the overwhelming support in the comments section made her temples throb.
"No...this shouldn't be happening."
She abruptly stubbed out the cigarette she was smoking; the ashtray was already piled with seven or eight twisted cigarette butts.
It wasn't like this in the previous life. That foolish Zhao Zixi would secretly collect newspaper clippings of her mother attending charity galas, would cry after getting drunk saying that her mother must have had her reasons, and would even sign the forged mother-daughter reconciliation plan.
How did it turn out like this?
Lu Xiaomi's fingernails dug deeply into her palms, and blood seeped from the crescent-shaped wounds.
She suddenly remembered the meaningful look Zhao Zixi gave her during their previous meeting.
At the time, I thought it was just my imagination, but now that I think about it...
"Could it be... that she was reborn too?"
The thought was like ice water poured over my whole body.
Lu Xiaomi trembled uncontrollably, her teeth chattering softly.
Her pale face was reflected in the mirror, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
impossible!
She was clearly the only lucky one.
Lu Xiaomi suddenly went crazy, rummaging through drawers and cabinets, and found the notebook hidden under the bed.
The yellowed pages were densely filled with dates and information about which TV series would become huge hits, but now the first series she chose had ended in failure.
Can all these predictions still come true?
Does she still have an advantage?
But the next second, an even more terrifying thought struck her: what if Zhao Zixi was reborn earlier than her?
And what if she knows more about the future?!
