Cheng Yi was stunned.
Is Cheng Yue's health already failing?
But he seems perfectly normal...
After a long pause, Cheng Yi bit her lower lip, lowered her head, and said to Ye Shuping, "Mom, I acted on impulse and didn't think much about it. Could you help me comfort Dad?"
Ye Shuping didn't blame her. She patted her hand, turned around and knocked on Cheng Yue's door. She went in a little while later.
Cheng Yi was left standing alone. Then, absentmindedly, she went downstairs, sat on the sofa, and fell into a state of dejection and confusion.
Since Cheng Yi took over Orange Heart Entertainment again, the company's resources were once again tilted towards her, and not long after, the endorsement that Zhang Jingshui had taken away from her was snatched back.
Halfway through negotiations for a new drama, news was inadvertently leaked, causing a huge stir. Fans were overjoyed, shouting that their luck had turned around, only to find that their idol was not happy at all. He was either frequently distracted while walking the red carpet or listless during commercial activities.
Fans, clinging to the belief that "he's just affected by what happened before, he'll be fine after a while," eagerly awaited Cheng Yi's return to confidence and redemption. However, unexpectedly, a piece of news climbed to the top of the trending searches—
Rising star Cheng Yi announced her retirement from the entertainment industry.
The incident instantly went viral online, leaving everyone stunned and speechless.
Marketing accounts exploded, having grasped the secrets to traffic generation and started writing all sorts of sensationalist content.
Cheng Yi's rivals were also dumbfounded. They were still secretly trying their best to compete with Cheng Yi, and now she was gone.
Immediately, opinions were divided online, with both truth and falsehood circulating, and Cheng Yi received tremendous attention, directly placing her in the top three trending topics.
In the past, the fans would have been very happy, but now they just want to curse and flock to the fan group demanding an explanation.
Cheng Yi remained completely still.
She seemed to have vanished into thin air, with no accurate information available. Even her new drama, which was only half-finished, was officially announced with a different actress, and her endorsements were either terminated or replaced.
Immediately, countless speculations sprang up like mushrooms after rain:
"Could it be that Cheng Yi couldn't handle the pressure from what happened before and had something happen to her?"
"Waaaaah, no! Xiaoyi, even if you stop being an actress, you have to live a good life!"
"Can you come out and give a response? @FengGe, XiaoYi's manager, stop playing dead."
"Exactly! Actors can choose to be actors if they want, and not be actors if they don't want to. They should at least give an explanation. What do they take us fans for?"
The candies were furious, but they received no response.
Ultimately, Orange Heart Entertainment's official Weibo account couldn't withstand the criticism and secretly told a fan—
Xiaoyi is fine; she just needs to adjust her state of mind recently, change her identity, and then reappear.
The fans then quieted down and patiently waited for Cheng Yi to appear.
Ten days later, Cheng Yi finally held a press conference, not as a female celebrity, but as the eldest daughter of the Cheng Group. She wore an elegant and capable professional suit, and her makeup was perfect and exquisite.
Her pure and beautiful face lacked the vulgarity of makeup, but possessed an air of unapproachable nobility. She greeted the reporters with a smile, her every gesture perfectly poised, making the fans watching the live stream on their phones swoon.
"Ahhhhhh, what kind of god-level beauty is this? I'm dead."
"My God, she really is a rich heiress? Is this what a rich heiress looks like?"
"Mom, I saw a living fairy! What an ideal life is!"
"Doctor, a ventilator."
