Song Yu Han stayed until Ran Xueyi finished all her scenes that day. Director Xiao was so satisfied with her that he asked her if she wanted to take a day off tomorrow. However, Ran Xueyi refused the idea of taking a break because it would only prolong her stay there.
Director Xiao also did not force her and only said, "Go home early today so you can have more rest."
While saying this, his eyes couldn't help but fall a few times on the tall man standing beside Ran Xueyi. The man was wearing a mask that covered the lower half of his face and wearing an ID. Although it said on his ID card that he's Ran Xueyi's assistant manager, Director Xiao felt that it wasn't the case.
The sudden appearance of this assistant manager was a bit suspicious and more than that, it seemed like the two knew each other too well.
Could it be that Ran Xueyi's post was real? Director Xiao thought to himself before shaking his head, expelling the idea from his mind.
Even if it was real, no one could possibly give away 100 million to another person. Besides, the man's appearance looked good even though his face was half-covered. Judging from his figure, facial features, and regal mannerism, there was no way that he was short of women lining up in front of his house.
The most important thing was still the 100 million!
In this country, who could possibly give that huge sum of money to someone every month as an allowance? That person could only be someone who was not right in his head!
The 'someone' who was not right in his head was currently whispering to Ran Xueyi in a corner.
"Later, tell your manager to order a warm chicken porridge for a takeaway. The city is very cold and it's easy to get sick if you're not careful," whispered Song Yu Han. He hated that he couldn't stay by her side forever to take care of her.
Ran Xueyi nodded, looking around to see if nobody was looking at them. When she's sure that no one was staring at them, she reached out and held his hand.
The warmth that transmitted from his hand to her own went through and pierced her heart. It was really comfortable.
Song Yu Han squeezed her hand.
...
When Ran Xueyi returned to her hotel room, it was already past midnight. Song Yu Han left after he sent her to her room.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Ran Xueyi heard the footstep behind her and said, "Proceed with the plan."
Adelle said, "Bai Jingjing will be pulled into this. Is it alright with you?"
Ran Xueyi turned around and coldly said, "So? She dared to make use of an opportunity where my reputation was smeared with dirt to bring herself up, she should know better that there will be consequences if the rumors about me were false. Still, she used her own water army to smear more dirt in my name."
Ran Xueyi used to give way to other people in the past, but giving them a way to live only made her life miserable. She didn't want to go back to the past and live the same way. Ran Xueyi only wanted to live, but other people did not necessarily want her to live. So, why must she show compassion, kindness, and forgive them?
Adelle no longer said anything seeing that Ran Xueyi had already made up her mind.
...
In a hotel room in another city, Bai Jingjing looked at the number of fans that kept on rising and falling. A few days ago, the following number increased so much that her insides excitedly did a flip, but now, it was starting to slowly decrease.
But it doesn't matter. An artist in this industry will always experience a rise and fall in their followers and the decrease in number in her own following didn't do much of a crack in her armor so Bai Jingjing was really relaxed.
"It's too bad that my followers did not reach 30 million. That woman just had to ruin it for me!" Bai Jingjing locked her screen and threw her phone to the bed.
Bai Jingjing's manager saw her pouting and sighed. "It can't be helped. The abuse Ran Xueyi received was a bit too much so her team must do something to save her or the film she recently joined will be affected as well. In any case, you should be happy that several producers and brands want to work with you!"
The dark cloud hovering above Bai Jingjing's head quickly dispersed when this was mentioned.
Bai Jingjing's manager continued, "So, what are you going to do? Accept some and reject some?"
The amount of script and brand offers Bai Jingjing received multiplied a lot so she was really happy.
Bai Jingjing winked at her manager and replied, "Accept them all!"
"Are you sure?" Bai Jingjing's manager couldn't help but frown. The scripts that Bai Jingjing received were either top-tier or middle-tier. There was no problem in accepting them all since the filming schedule was not in conflict with each other, but the brand offers were not as good as the scripts that was offered to her. "There is also an alcoholic brand that wants to work with you. If you accept their offer, it will ruin your innocent type image that the company built for you."
Bai Jingjing was not convinced. "That alcoholic brand is number 2 in the country. They offered quite a large sum of money too! Although I still have to keep my image, it's been five years since I kept my innocent image to show to the public! I'm sick of it!"
"Don't say that. The company is doing this to look after you." Bai Jingjing's manager sighed again. "Let's not talk about this. I'll talk to the brands and directors for you and tell them that you'll accept their offers."
Bai Jingjing was satisfied with this and no longer argued with her. Then, she remembered something and suddenly asked, "By the way, I never thought that Ran Xueyi could be so shameless. 100 million? Is she crazy? Who would believe that? If it was me, I would never post anything in my own account and stay silent until the matter is forgotten!"
Bai Jingjing's manager was interested in this topic and smiled. "It must be her company who made her post that in response to Steffanie." Entertainment companies usually hold their artist's social media accounts and control it. It was very rare for an artist to use their social media accounts freely. So, it wasn't strange that Ran Xueyi made such an unbelievable response to Steffanie's statement.
But still, Bai Jingjing's manager couldn't help but admire the company who signed with Ran Xueyi. Their tactic to admit the rumors rather than denying it made the fans and passersby like Ran Xueyi even more. Most importantly, nobody believed the statement that Steffanie released anymore.
At this moment, the one who should have lost a lot in this battle was not anyone but Steffanie, the one who started everything.
Bai Jingjing's manager was worried that the spoiled princess of the company would come running to her father and complain about this. But thinking that Steffanie was an avid fan of Bai Jingjing made her relax again. That stupid brat only knows how to chase after stars, what could she possibly do to Bai Jingjing?
...
On We*bo.

Seeing that those who posted and joined the discussion received a lot of followers, these uninterested people also joined in. A hundred or a couple hundred followers is a huge boost in their self-esteem after all!
However, just when everybody thought that this matter would soon sink under the sea and forgotten when a period of time passed, a new topic was suddenly rising very quickly.
#TheUnknownTruth
Bai Jingjing, who was left alone inside her room, wanted to look at the number of her fans one last time before she went to sleep. But as soon as she went to her own social media page, her eyes widened.
"What is happening!!" Bai Jingjing instantly sat up and shouted.
Why? Why was her fan number quickly decreasing? She remembered it was still a million away from reaching 30 million, but now the gap was getting bigger!
Bai Jingjing was about to lose her mind. The number of her followers went from 29 million to 27 million! That was a 2 million decrease from her original follower count and it only has been an hour since she last checked it!
Just what was going on!
