Song Yu Han thought of Ran Xueyi's grandparents. According to his investigation, three years ago, before they got married, Ran Yiqing and Chen Lushi, Ran Xueyi's grandfather and grandmother, were childhood sweethearts who met each other at an elementary school. But they were separated due to Chen Lushi's parents taking her with them overseas.
The childhood sweethearts love story was cut off from that point, and nobody really knew what would happen by then. Ran Yiqing and Chen Lushi led their lives and even found their own partners before they met again.
Nobody knew what happened after, but according to Grandpa Song's recollection, Ran Yiqing discovered that his girlfriend cheated on him and dumped her afterward. Two years later, Ran Yiqing found out that Chen Lushi had been single for a while and started to pursue her, trying to rekindle their love with each other during their elementary days.
Grandpa Song even furiously added that Chen Lushi was his long-time crush, but Ran Yiqing stole her from him, furthering their discord. Sadly, Chen Lushi chose Ran Yiqing in the end and ruthlessly dumped his grandfather.
The couple lived their whole life in isolation and successfully built their own hotel chain in City A. They only retreated to a life of complete seclusion when Ran Mo Zheng, Ran Xueyi's father, decided to marry his secretary, currently Ran Xueyi's mother, Li Jing.
Since then, Grandpa Ran and Grandma Ran never interfered with their son's life and dedicated it to developing Ran Xueyi into a fine woman.
If Ran Xueyi wanted them to live just like how her grandparents spent the rest of their lives, Song Yu Han didn't have reasons to say no.
But Ran Xueyi might not leave the industry yet. She still has plans before going into seclusion with him.
...
The next morning. The country's most prominent news and media platform published the entire full uncut video of Shi Lian throwing a cup on Ran Xueyi. The article explained everything that happened between Steffanie and Ran Xueyi while highlighting Steffanie's devious intentions and ruthlessness. They even published Steffanie's previous bullying history back in high school until the present time.
They focused on how Steffanie used her wealthy background to bully her classmates, defame Ran Xueyi's reputation, and pressure her manager to do evil deeds against other actresses. It also included pouring hazardous chemical acid on Ran Xueyi in an attempt to ruin her face.
The entire country was shaken by this incident, and everyone cursed at Steffanie's evilness, saying that she was the devil's spawn. No wonder Ran Xueyi retaliated with several lawsuits against her...
But, wait...
Does that mean that the actress who was involved in an accident several days ago turned out to be Ran Xueyi?
Once again, many sympathizers went to comment on Ran Xueyi's posts to send their support to her and told her comforting words.
Everyone, including passersby who did not use We*bo, came out to support her, expressing their concerns. In their eyes, Ran Xueyi was truly pitiful. She had just recently returned after giving glory to the country, but someone was already targeting her.
The incident where a scandal broke with Ran Xueyi having a gold master was once again discussed by netizens. This time, however, they no longer doubted Ran Xueyi; instead, they all now scolded and cursed at Steffanie's shallowness.
So what if she has a gold master? So what if she doesn't?
Even Bai Jingjing, who was gaining an advantage from that incident, now refused to appear on any media platforms, fearing that fans would ambush her and reporters question her involvement with Steffanie.
Just what did she do to deserve this? This was all because of Steffanie's actions!
Of course, the netizens who were usually lurking silently while watching the drama can no longer stay quiet in the dark.
["Hahaha, Bai Jingjing must have thought that she could avoid repercussions. Isn't she Steffanie's idol? I think the police department might need to check her as well. Who knows if she did some horrible things too, and Steffanie only followed her due to their fan-idol relationship, right?"]
["Oh, so it wasn't only me who was thinking like this? I knew Bai Jingjing was not a good person when I saw that video of her slapping a fan's phone. That video was now erased and nowhere to be found."]
["I've followed many celebrities and stars, but I've never met someone as vicious as Steffanie Chang. Is she out of her mind?"]
["That's right. Thankfully, Ran Xueyi handled everything so calmly. It's so scary when you think that someone could actually pour acid on your face!"]
"But, Ran Xueyi's response shouldn't be this lukewarm. Why must she send Steffanie Chang to the police? If it was me, I would ruin Steffanie's face before sending her away!"
["Upstairs, are you insane? If Ran Xueyi did that, she'd be sent to prison too! Although I also want to do the same to Steffanie Chang, it's better to leave this to the police to handle. I heard she'd be sent to the most ruthless prison in the country, where all kinds of criminals sentenced to a lifetime are sent. I can already imagine Steffanie Chang's ending there."]
["Anyway, this is such a satisfying slap. A ten out of ten face-slap!"]
Those who still wanted to support Bai Jingjing and those who admired Steffanie's viciousness did not comment and join in the discussion, fearing that their lives would be over if they did.
At the same time, Director Xiao saw an unprecedented rise in the popularity of the TV drama << The Untamed >> even before an announcement was released by their publicity team. The following count on the official page broke through millions and now became one of the most followed films of all time! And the film hadn't even finished filming everything!
After Ran Xueyi's absence, many film crews were dejected to work. Still, they were soon injected with energy boosters upon seeing the success of the film before it was even officially released!
Every day, reporters and fans would camp outside of the filming location just to wait for Ran Xueyi to appear again. Whether there was Ran Xueyi or not, they still hung around the place just to show their endless support for her.
Regardless of everything else, Ran Xueyi won a lot of sympathy from everyone. Famous directors expressed their willingness to work with Ran Xueyi in their films, saying they want her talent and popularity.
As for brands, they relentlessly called and reached out to Ran Xueyi, but they were redirected to speak to Adelle regarding any cooperation with them. Of course, the remuneration, brand reputation, and value of Ran Xueyi was also an important factor in choosing these brands.
And because Ran Xueyi was getting all the attention from everyone, there were some people who were hoping to get some of that attention.
For example, the Ran family.
...
Poisonlily has something to say: Ooops, scums are knocking on Ran Xueyi's door again?
Ran Xueyi while holding a knife: ^_^ Welcome, welcome. Come in and wash your necks.
