Chapter 162: The wedding room is even ready.
When Shen Zhiyi arrived at the film set the next day, the atmosphere was distinctly off, with everyone quietly discussing something and the director’s face looking incredibly upset as he continuously complained to the production coordinator.
"I’ve worked so hard preparing for so long... and Xu Xia this time... before the drama promotion even started, she’s already stealing the limelight..."
"Sister," Xiaodong said, visibly pleased as he handed her the phone, "Sister Feifei acted so swiftly. She got Xu Xia trending on the hot search in the wee hours. Our video wasn’t filmed in vain; now she’s really getting slammed."
Bullying teammates, acting like a diva, stealing roles, mistreating the extras, and that slap she gave Shen Zhiyi under the guise of filming—all of this was within Shen Zhiyi’s expectations and easy to check. But when Zhiyi saw the next few trending topics, she paused.
[Xu Xia’s Secret Affair]
[Is Shen Zhiyi Just a Decoy?]
It turned out that her contractual relationship with Huo Heng had been exposed.
Huo Heng had already left the industry and had faded from the public eye, but not to the extent of being forgotten completely. Once this news broke, everyone was feasting on this juicy story, beginning to recap Shen Zhiyi’s history before her relationship with Huo Heng was officially announced. From various signs, compared to Shen Zhiyi, Xu Xia indeed seemed the most likely to have an affair with Huo Heng.
Including that hotel photo passed around by marketing accounts and Huo Heng’s fans—when investigated thoroughly, it appeared that Xu Xia was the one who had checked into the hotel that day. There were other photos taken by the paparazzi too, but their mouths had later been shut.
With these damaging revelations, Xu Xia was powerless to respond, unable to explain herself, and she still hadn’t made a statement while public opinion continued to ferment.
"Now Xu Xia truly can’t wriggle out of this one," Xiaodong said, feeling a sense of schadenfreude, "It’s apparent that her company is trying to suppress this, but they can’t get the trending topics removed. Sister Feifei is just amazing."
