Chapter 248 [Not Divorced]
The guests of "Let's Go on a Spring Outing" had a group gathering, but she was the only one not invited. Yu Xingtong was very upset about this and didn't sleep much for the first two days after returning home. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would see Xia Mian and the others whispering together.
After posting the vlog, she observed the situation all day and found that public opinion was developing in the direction she hoped for, finally feeling relieved. She poured herself a glass of red wine, stood by the window, and looked down at the bustling city outside, feeling exceptionally pleased.
“Vania, you seem to be in a good mood,” Yu Xingtong’s husband said.
Vania is Yu Xingtong's English name. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Patrick, there is an old Chinese saying, 'A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years,' and now I have done it."
Patrick didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Yu Xingtong patiently explained: "There was someone who caused me to expose myself at the show and even colluded with other guests to isolate me. Most importantly, he got what I couldn't get. Today, I finally got my revenge."
Patrick still didn't understand. It's normal for someone else to get what you can't have, just like expensive items in a shop window—90% of people can't afford them, but there are always 10% exceptions. He didn't see anything wrong with it; that's life.
But he wouldn't interfere with his wife, hugging Yu Xingtong from behind: "Okay, I'll try to understand. How long can you stay with me this time?"
Just as Yu Xingtong was about to say that she would return to the set in three days to continue filming, her agent called.
She's signed with a foreign agency, and her agent is also a foreigner: "Vania, you don't need to go on the next episode of 'Let's Go on a Spring Outing'."
Yu Xingtong was taken aback: "Why?"
"The company is experiencing some issues, and your activities will be temporarily suspended."
"Problem? What problem? Is it a cash flow problem? But I've already signed a contract, and I can't be forced to breach it because of the company. I don't accept your decision."
The agent was already in a bad mood and had been holding back his anger while speaking to her. Faced with her aggressive questioning, the agent finally snapped: "What do you want to know? Fine, I'll tell you. You did something wrong, you're banned from activities, understand? The company has two and a half years left on your contract, and we'll terminate it unconditionally when it expires... Fuck, terminating the contract is too lenient on you, we should just sue you. You've caused such a big mess, making the whole company take the blame. Bitch! Bitch!"
After venting her anger, the agent hung up the phone. Having been inexplicably scolded, Yu Xingtong was furious and wanted to yell back, but the agent had probably blocked her, and she couldn't get through no matter how hard she tried.
She called the head of the modeling department again, and this time the call went through, but no one answered. So she kept calling, and finally, after several attempts, the artist director blocked her number.
She was even angrier and decided to take to Twitter to accuse the unscrupulous company of suspending her work when she still had two and a half years left on her contract. What was the difference between that and being sidelined? This was cutting off her livelihood!
She logged onto Twitter and wrote a long post, but couldn't publish it. She then switched to YouTube, but as soon as she successfully logged in, she received a system notification that her account had been banned.
Looking at the cold line of text on the computer screen, she suddenly realized that things were not as simple as she had thought.
After receiving the call, she subconsciously thought that her performance had declined and that she hadn't done well in the recent shows, so the company was going to give her a warning or punishment.
She only realized she had been effectively blacklisted when she discovered her account had been banned across all platforms.
Her professional career has come to an end!
“Vania, what happened? You look furious,” Patrick asked worriedly. He was still shaken by the sight of his wife, disheveled and pacing around the house while talking on the phone.
Yu Xingtong shook her head: "Don't talk, let me calm down."
Patrick couldn't ignore it, so he put his arm around his wife's shoulder and said, "Vania, tell me, okay? Let's figure something out together."
"I said I need to calm down, didn't you understand?!" Yu Xingtong roared, "Shut up, I told you to shut up!"
To maintain her figure, Yu Xingtong had been dieting for years, becoming almost unhealthy from thinness. With a powerful shout, her collarbones, ribs, and eyeballs bulged out, making her look like a terrifying skeleton. Patrick had never seen his wife look so grotesque.
Startled, he quickly put on his coat: "...Okay, I'll go out."
After saying that, he ran out of the house, leaving Yu Xingtong slumped on the sofa, panting heavily.

That night, Xia Mian wanted to check how far the online "plot" about the divorce had progressed before going to bed. Strangely, the marketing accounts that usually loved to spread false information and stir up trouble had all disappeared, leaving only netizens still discussing it fiercely on the topic forum:
When news of their marriage broke last year, I knew it wouldn't last, and I was right.
[With such a mismatch in family background, divorce is inevitable. New husbands are about to enter the market. Good luck, sisters!]
I feel a bit sorry for XM. His divorce at the peak of his career must have had a huge impact on him.
[Screw your abbreviations, you're too clumsy to type Chinese characters, huh?]
[Hilarious! What's so pitiful about Xia Mian? She's got the traffic, the buzz, and maybe even a hefty breakup fee. You could earn more in eight lifetimes than she does; you'd be better off focusing on yourself.]
Do not believe or spread rumors; wait for the company's statement.
[Your brother won't issue a statement. He's been online on Weibo seven times a day, morning and night. He already expressed his thoughts. Why all the anxiety?]
If they really get divorced, does my crush have a chance? Ahhhhhh!
aestivation:"......"
Some software can see the online history of people you follow, which is why Zhang Yuno reminded him to switch to a secondary account and not use his main account.
Caught red-handed by netizens, Xia Mian felt extremely guilty. Just then, a "crack" sound came from behind her.
Xia Mian subconsciously turned her head and found Zhou Pingchuan standing by the bed fiddling with his phone.
"You took a picture?" That sound was clearly the shutter sound. Xia Mian has heard it tens of thousands of times since she entered the industry.
Zhou Pingchuan didn't answer, but only glanced at him with a cold look in his eyes, which made Xia Mian feel uneasy.
He rubbed his arms, not daring to ask any more questions, and turned back to check his phone. Then he saw a new reply under the comments about the couple: "No chance, no need to wait."
The profile picture of the netizen who replied was strange; it was a person lying on a bed with their back to the camera. Xia Mian couldn't help but feel that the back looked incredibly familiar.
He clicked on the profile picture to enter the other person's homepage. The nickname was "Z" and the Weibo verification was: Chairman of Kepler Group.
There's only one update, which I just posted:
Not divorced
