Chapter 31

Shen Tang figured out that she was destined to become a trending search term - no matter how trivial the incident, she would trend on social media.

Don't the netizens get tired of this?

Her Weibo comment section had already been occupied by melon-eating netizens, and even her past scandals were dug out.

What's more, Shen Tang felt that just looking at the photos, she had chemistry with every male celebrity.

Is it appropriate to say this?

Hahahaha.

Since Li Xing was unrepentant about this matter, Shen Tang would not be polite anymore.

However, this concerned the drama crew, so she could not act rashly and had to discuss it with the director first.

After hearing Shen Tang's intentions, Director Huo fell silent for a moment and said, "I won't get involved in this. You are the victim, so do as you see fit."

"Don't worry!"

With the director's consent, Shen Tang took action.

She directly sent the previous audio recording to the legal department of the Gu Group and confronted Li Xing head-on on Weibo:

Shen Tang V: Care to explain? @Li Xing V

Li Xing did not expect Shen Tang to directly question her on Weibo.

She refreshed her Weibo feed multiple times. The comment section was already overrun, mostly by melon-eating netizens and some extremists cursing at her.

As for Shen Tang's fans, there didn't seem to be many.

Li Xing panicked a little but managed to calm herself down.

As long as she did not admit it, no one had evidence to prove it was her.

Seeing her assistant growing increasingly nervous beside her, a gleam flashed in Li Xing's eyes as she suddenly had an idea.

That night, Li Xing's assistant admitted her mistake online, claiming she had only casually taken the photos and did not know how they leaked. She conjectured that they might have accidentally leaked when she sent her phone for repair.

This excuse...how should I put it - who was she trying to fool?

Shen Tang smiled.

To be honest, she had anticipated that Li Xing would make her assistant take the fall.

That was also why she did not directly release the audio recording.

Netizens were not so easily fooled. This triggered their rebellious mentality instead.

The hype did not die down at all. Just when Li Xing began to relax, thinking Shen Tang had no follow-up moves, Shen Tang added fuel to the fire by releasing the audio recording.

Li Xing's Weibo was completely overrun.

【Still there? Come out and explain】

【Don't pretend to be dead. We know you can see this】

【Could it be that you are jealous she is prettier than you? I guess so. Your forgettable face says it all】

Regarding what happened to Li Xing, Shen Tang did not sympathize at all.

Firstly, Li Xing had brought this upon herself. Secondly, Shen Tang was no stranger to such incidents herself.

One could say this incident was not that major, yet it was rather malicious.

Li Xing's public image was completely ruined and those looking to collaborate with her would reconsider upon fear of getting backstabbed.

Shen Tang was quite satisfied with this punishment. f𝗿𝐞ewebno𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝐨m

As for whether Li Xing was satisfied or not, Shen Tang had no idea.

Not long after showering, loud banging sounded on Shen Tang's room door.

"Shen Tang! Open up!"

"I know you're in there. Don't pretend you can't hear me!"

......

Realizing Shen Tang was not opening the door, Li Xing's tone changed from anger to desperate pleading, "Shen Tang, I beg you, please open the door..."

"Let me apologize, okay?"

"Can you please explain things on Weibo..."

Shen Tang inserted earplugs and put on an eye mask as she lay in bed, preparing to sleep.

Hilarious. As if she would open the door. What if something dangerous happened?

Moreover, she had given Li Xing a chance previously, it was Li Xing who failed to grasp it.

Shen Tang eventually fell asleep, though she was unaware when. She slept very soundly throughout the night.

The next day during filming, Shen Tang noticed two dark eye bags under Li Xing's eyes, clearly from lack of sleep.

Shen Tang looked away, avoiding looking at her.

Li Xing discovered everyone glancing at her occasionally, with strange looks in their eyes.

She couldn't help suspecting everyone was mocking her, badmouthing her behind her back, even saying she deserved this.

Li Xing was in poor condition today. The director scolded her many times before moving her scenes to later.

She glowered at Shen Tang who was still doing well. The hatred in her heart was almost overflowing.

Why?

Why did she get no sleep while Shen Tang slept so soundly?

Why did Shen Tang easily gain such high popularity from petty scandals while she worked so hard yet could not surpass Shen Tang?

Why, after all these years, was her status still below Shen Tang's, someone plagued by scandals?

The more Li Xing thought about it, the more discontented she felt. Upon seeing everyone chatting cheerfully with Shen Tang, her malice peaked.

Noticing the prop hook beside her, Li Xing grabbed and hid it behind her back as she slowly approached Shen Tang.

Seeing Li Xing come over, everyone stopped talking.

A flash of darkness shone in Li Xing's eyes.

"Shen Tang, I want to apologize for my previous wrongdoings. Can you forgive me?"

Shen Tang figured Li Xing deliberately said this in front of everyone, forcing her not to reject out of consideration for her image. Her intentions were as clear as day.

Too bad Shen Tang had no morals.

"I can, but you have to publicly apologize to me on Weibo for three days straight."

Li Xing looked up. "Sure, I'll do it n–"

As she spoke, she swung the hook violently at Shen Tang's face!

I'll destroy this damned face of hers. She uses her looks to earn money!

The other girls screamed in horror while Shen Tang reflexively grabbed Li Xing's hand with one hand and used her other hand to shield her face.

In a split second, Shen Tang grasped Li Xing's hand tightly. "Are you crazy!"

Li Xing struggled violently to pull out the hook to no avail. Her wrist felt like it was about to snap.

"Let go!"

As if I'd let go and let her harm me again, Shen Tang thought.

"Shen Tang, you're bleeding!" the others exclaimed.

Only upon hearing them did Shen Tang realize her ear was aching badly. She touched it and her hand was covered in blood.

The pain hit her all at once and Shen Tang froze in shock.

Crap! Don't tell me my looks are ruined!

She still needed her face to earn money!

"Quick, call an ambulance!"

"My god, has Li Xing lost her mind?"

"Ahhhhh!"

Chaos ensued on set as Shen Tang was sent into an ambulance and rushed to the hospital.

Li Xing was restrained.

The rest called the police to handle the matter while sealing off the scene so news did not spread for the time being.

However, the paparazzi outside spotted the ambulance and reported it online.

Unsure who was injured, netizens began guessing wildly.

Shen Tang's friends also noticed the news.

Frankly, no one expected it to be her since she was so strong. According to the idiom, one force drops ten skills, she should have been invincible.

Someone snapped a photo of Shen Tang in the hospital with blood streaming down one side of her face and uploaded it online.

#ShenTangInjured# immediately topped the trending charts.

The injury looked severe with the blood loss but was not too critical in actuality.

The hook had cut her ear and surrounding area. The wounds were not too deep but she still needed time to recuperate.

As for potential scarring, the doctor said scar removal surgery was an option.

Shen Tang pressed her lips. She felt somewhat depressed.

Her face was the most valuable asset on her body, okay?
