Chapter 353 1. Stunned, 1. Holding back laughter
Besides the beautiful photos of Ning Yao circulating online, there are also many reports of Zhao Xiaojing and Ning Duoduo both being in the center position.
To secure a prime spot in the audience seating area below the booth, Zhao Xiaojing maintained a composed demeanor, despite the awkwardness of being in the same frame as Ning Duoduo.
It's unclear whether Zhao Xiaojing offended the photographer, but some people noticed that several of Zhao Xiaojing's photos were taken from particularly tricky angles, highlighting her facial flaws and aged appearance. There was also a screenshot of her glancing sideways at Ning Duoduo, which was clearly full of malice.
Wow, this old witch actually thinks so highly of my goddess, Duoduo.
[They're all so old, I don't know why they're still fighting for positions. What difference would a few more shots make?]
[Let me give you a scoop. My friend is a screenwriter, and recently their company had a script. Zhao Xiaojing's agent wanted to help her get a role as a twenty-year-old girl. Apparently, it was Zhao Xiaojing's own idea; she didn't want a supporting role, she wanted to play the lead in an idol drama.]
[Wow, those wrinkles on her face that even foundation and concealer can't cover, isn't that a bit much for her to play a twenty-year-old girl?]
[lol, does she have no self-awareness at all? She's been in the industry for over twenty years, and only that one role in a drama made her famous. According to rumors, she got the role of the Tang Dynasty princess by chance; she wasn't originally cast.]
My father has a photo of a Tang Dynasty princess in her official costume, this is the one [picture].
This woman is far more beautiful than Zhao Xiaojing. Look at her demeanor and eyes—she's practically a Tang Dynasty princess herself! It's a pity she didn't get the role; otherwise, Zhao Xiaojing wouldn't have had the chance to become so famous.
Don't you guys think this photo looks a bit like Luo Xiyao...?
Some people even posted a comparison photo of Ning Yao and the actress in the original costume fitting photo. Looking at it this way, the two have a 70-80% resemblance in facial features.
[They really do look alike. Who is this woman? Does anyone know her? Is she some kind of relative of Luo Xiyao?]
So what methods did Zhao Xiaojing use to steal this beautiful woman's role? Anyone with eyes could see that this woman was more suitable for the role of a Tang Dynasty princess. I believe the production team wouldn't have been blind to choose Zhao Xiaojing!
[That's enough! Stop stirring up trouble and smearing our Actress Zhao. She's not the kind of person who steals roles from others. Her character is widely recognized in the industry. Don't make baseless accusations if you haven't met her!]
[Support Zhao Yingwei! Keep going, Zhao Yingwei! Don't let these rumors defeat you. We will always support you!]
Zhao Xiaojing isn't as popular as she used to be, but she's still an award-winning actress and has a certain fan base.
The executives at Star Trail Entertainment are already discussing how to handle Zhao Xiaojing's situation.
Just as the bigwigs were having a meeting, a shocking secret suddenly broke online: Zhao Xiaojing had married her current husband.
It turns out that Zhao Xiaojing deliberately seduced a married man. When they got together, the man was still married to his wife, which constituted marital infidelity.
At the time, Zhao Xiaojing's public relations team claimed that the man had already divorced and that Zhao Xiaojing was not a mistress who had taken his place.
Now that the old stories have been exposed, it's a real slap in the face.
[“Our actress Zhao is definitely not the type to steal roles,” tsk, turns out she wasn’t stealing roles, she was stealing someone’s husband.]
[Mistresses are disgusting; they destroy other people's families, act like prostitutes while pretending to be virtuous—they dare to do it but not to admit it!]
[Serves her right for being unable to have children after so many years of marriage; she's done too many bad things and is now getting her comeuppance.]
I must have been blind to have liked this female celebrity for over ten years. I'm so heartbroken, I'm announcing I'm unfollowing her!
Seeing the increasingly uncontrollable surge of comments, Zhao Xiaojing felt like an ant on a hot pan and could no longer sit still.
She had painstakingly maintained her reputation for most of her life, only to be mercilessly smeared like this, causing her public image to completely collapse.
"Who exactly is targeting me behind my back?" Zhao Xiaojing was furious and smashed the vase next to her.
It's clear that someone is leading the conversation online, guiding everyone to find the truth, and then ruthlessly criticizing her character and conduct.
The vase shattered with a crash, and no one in the studio dared to speak to Zhao Xiaojing at that moment. They avoided her if they could, each going about their own business.
"I think Zhao Xiaojing is getting old, and it's time for her to give up some resources to the company's younger female artists." The executives at Star Trail Entertainment made a decision. Even though Zhao Xiaojing still has some value, they no longer wanted to waste their energy protecting her.
The money spent on her insurance was far more than the profits she brought to the company.
On the plane to Simen, Ning Yao had no idea that the moment she left, Zhao Xiaojing would run into trouble, and her career would be ruined...
Inside the aircraft cabin.
Ning Yao and Wen Tingye sat side by side, with Wen Tingye pretending that Guan Ying, Si Si, and a butler with a very low profile did not exist.
With an elegant posture and a calm yet indifferent expression, he raised his arm and wrapped it around Ning Yao's neck, gently pulling her into his embrace. His long, beautiful fingers played with Ning Yao's hair.
Ning Yao's hair always had a faint fragrance, not the scent of shampoo, but an indescribable, delicate aroma that smelled very pleasant.
Wen Tingye never imagined he would one day have a hobby of playing with people's hair, but he enjoys it nonetheless.
Ning Yao didn't focus her mental energy on the man beside her at all; instead, she seized the opportunity to look at Si Si beside her.
Si Si closed her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and leaned against the back of the sofa in the cabin, exuding tranquility and gentleness.
The butler sized up Wen Tingye, who casually crossed his legs. His long legs looked powerful and steady. He held the woman in his arms, exuding a chilling aura of authority. He didn't need to say a word; his presence alone was enough to instill fear in people.
"Take a nap, it'll be a few more hours before we arrive." Wen Tingye's clear, deep, and magnetic voice came from above Ning Yao's head.
"I can't sleep." Ning Yao shook her head gently, her voice even lower than Wen Tingye's, afraid of waking Si Si who was sleeping next to her.
"Shall I tell you a story?" Wen Tingye suddenly spoke up. Guan Ying, who was not far away, heard him and was drinking water when she choked on his words and coughed.
Guan Ying tried her best to lower her voice and cover her mouth and nose, but Ning Yao still looked over.
Ning Yao's ears turned bright red instantly. How old was she? Telling stories wasn't like she was trying to coax a child...
Wen Tingye didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. When Bao Ying couldn't sleep at home, Wen Tingye would tell her stories.
"The stories I tell are different from ordinary stories; you'll enjoy listening to them."
Wen Tingye's words piqued Ning Yao's interest; she was curious to see what was different about Wen Tingye's story.
Even Guan Ying and the housekeeper Si Si pricked up their ears, eager to hear Wen Tingye's story.
Unfortunately, Wen Tingye kept lowering his voice, so even though they weren't far apart, they could only hear a few scattered words.
Guan Ying then observed Ning Yao's expression. She noticed that Ning Yao's expression was sometimes blank and sometimes trying to suppress a laugh, but she didn't seem to be going to sleep. It seemed that President Wen's bedtime story wasn't very good.
Guan Ying lost interest and started playing with her phone.
This game was developed by a recently listed game company and it's incredibly popular. You can play it online or offline.
Guan Ying spent one-third of the wages and bonuses her two sons received on this game.
She wanted to obtain one of the hero skins with a low drop rate, but she spent a lot of money and still couldn't get it.
