Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
For the next two days, Xu Rui couldn’t even sleep well. Even if she was extremely sleepy and fell into a short sleep, she would dream of being exposed by the netizens and forced to apologize to Lu Zhen.
Xu Rui couldn’t take it anymore. She cried and asked her aunt for help.
Soon, many posts analyzing Xu Rui’s intention to frame Lu Zhen were deleted by the Weibo administrator. Some comments that suspected Xu Rui were reported and disappeared. Many netizens did not react. Someone asked,
“What’s going on? Does Xu Rui have a backer? Why is her backer so strong?”
“It’s also possible that the company paid for it. No matter what, it means that she’s guilty.”
“Oh my god, how disgusting. I originally thought that she wouldn’t do such a thing, but now it seems that she really framed Lu Zhen on purpose. How could she do such a vicious thing?!”
“My heart really aches for Lu Zhen now. She clearly didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t know how aggrieved she feels after being schemed against by Xu Rui and scolded for so many days.”
“That’s right. If only Lu Zhen had explained earlier.”
“How is she going to explain? Even the live-stream camera didn’t capture the situation. Lu Zhen was scolded so badly. Even if she explains, no one will believe her. Someone might even say that she’s unrepentant.”
Xu Rui looked at the comments online and felt her vision go dark.
Back then, Lu Zhen was in a desperate situation. Now, it was her. If she did not delete the posts that suspected her of deliberately framing Lu Zhen, this matter would only attract more and more attention if it continued to ferment.
This was how netizens were. Things that could not be confirmed would instead arouse their desire to discuss. Now that those posts had been deleted, the netizens’ rebellious thoughts were aroused. They were certain that Xu Rui must be guilty.
Xu Rui was so angry that she wanted to cry.
On the phone, her aunt comforted Xu Rui. “Don’t cry. It’s just a failure. Netizens are a bunch of fish with no memory. After this period of time passes, they will forget about this matter. Besides, which celebrity doesn’t have negative news?
Even if they rely on negative news to become famous, they will still be famous.”
Xu Rui pulled a long face. She really wanted to tell her aunt that she didn’t want to become famous because of negative news!
However, Xu Rui did not dare to speak. She had caused such a huge commotion this time. Her aunt must have spent a lot of effort to help her settle the trouble. She might have even asked some people for help and owed them a lot of favors.
Her aunt continued, “I don’t think Lu Zhen has any intention of pursuing the matter. They probably want this matter to pass quickly. I originally thought that I could step on her to make you famous this time. What a pity…”
Xu Rui was depressed. Now, one of her goals had been achieved: She was indeed famous. But she became famous in this way.
Just before her aunt called her, Director Ding Zhi also contacted her. He did not praise her or comfort her. Instead, he reprimanded her harshly.
Xu Rui knew that Director Ding Zhi would never work with her again. Although her aunt still had a lot of resources, Xu Rui felt that this incident had brought about an irreversible negative impact.
After such a thing happened, some directors who had the right to choose their own actors probably had a bad impression of her. There was a high chance that they would not choose her.
Xu Rui casually turned on her cell phone and saw an advertisement poster taken by Lu Zhen. Annoyed, she clicked “Not interested”, then turned off the phone and threw it heavily on the bed.
After the publicity event for the movie “Beauty” ended, Lu Zhen returned to the production team of “Under the Cherry Blossom Tree” to film for a few days. When she heard that Gao Fan had come to Beijing, she went to have a meal with him.
At the dining table, the crabs with red shells looked very tempting. Lu Zhen was not used to eating seafood. In order to thank Gao Fan for his help, she ate two crabs. The taste was surprisingly good.
During dinner, Gao Fan suddenly asked her if she knew how to sing.
Lu Zhen was still looking for the meat in the crab leg. When she heard this, she thought to herself, Could it be that Director Gao Fan wants to go to the KTV to sing later? She immediately sat up straight. “Yes, I know.”
Although Lu Zhen was not a professional in the music field, it was not a problem for her to sing a few songs without going off-key.
Gao Fan nodded and took out a few pieces of paper from his bag. He handed them to Lu Zhen. “Then bring the contract back. If there’s no problem, send it to me after you sign it.”
Lu Zhen took the contract and glanced at it. She was immediately stunned. This was an authorization contract for the theme song of Rain and Fog, Flowers in the Fog.
“Is this for me?” Lu Zhen asked in confusion. Did he give it to the right person?
“Don’t you know how to sing?” Gao Fan took a sip of water and said calmly..
