Reporters continued to question Wan Wan, “Are you suggesting that the online comments are entirely fabricated?”

Wan Wan replied, “It could also be someone trying to generate buzz. After all, in our line of work, buzz is essential.”

Wan Wan’s statement seemed ambiguous, leaving the reporters speculating. One of them directly asked, “Wan Wan, are you implying that Xia Xin deliberately did this to create a public relations topic?”

Then, some reporters even whispered among themselves, “Who would have thought that Xia Xin, who looks so innocent, is so cunning?”

Seeing that the cameras were about to focus on Xia Xin again, Gao Xin seized the opportunity and pulled her back towards the film crew.

Both Xia Xin and Gao Xin were anxious and didn’t have time to explain. They turned on their phones to find out what had happened. On the trending page, there was a video that occupied several posts, and surprisingly, it was posted by Wu Jia.

In the video, Wu Jia was sobbing, looking very pitiful. People tended to sympathize with those in vulnerable positions, so seeing her like this naturally led to the assumption that what she said was true.

Wu Jia claimed that she and Xia Xin were originally friends. When she was living at Xia Xin’s place, Xia Xin asked her to pay rent since she didn’t want Wu Jia to stay for free. However, Wu Jia didn’t have the money at the moment and hoped to postpone payment for a couple of days. Xia Xin, on the other hand, wanted to kick her out for not paying rent.

Wu Jia continued, tearfully explaining that Xia Xin wanted her gone because she had overheard Xia Xin’s phone call with the director, which sounded intimate. Afraid of her secret being exposed, Xia Xin threw her out with nowhere to go.

In the end, Wu Jia appealed to Xia Xin, saying that she hoped Xia Xin would understand. She was willing to pay the rent for these past few days.

With that story, netizens started bashing Xia Xin. They accused her of having a questionable character, of being two-faced, and even accused her of using her body to get ahead. All sorts of nasty comments were hurled at her.

Xia Xin hadn’t realized that Wu Jia not only caused trouble but also had a knack for distorting the truth. It was her own fault that led to Xia Xin evicting her, but she managed to shift all the blame onto Xia Xin.

Xia Xin suddenly recalled that night when Wu Jia had taken a shower and then didn’t return to her room. Instead, she had eavesdropped on Xia Xin’s phone call in the living room. It turned out that Wu Jia was trying to find out who Xia Xin was talking to, leading to this predicament.

With no concrete evidence to defend herself, Xia Xin felt utterly helpless.

Gao Xin, who naturally believed Xia Xin, couldn’t leave her alone in this situation. However, they were in a hurry, as Xia Xin couldn’t stay at the film set any longer.

Gao Xin decided to have her agent, Zhou Ping, drive Xia Xin back home. Zhou Ping hesitated, “I’ve just arranged to pick up an advertising deal for you, and I need to meet with the advertisers. I really can’t leave right now.”

Gao Xin was in a dilemma; Xia Xin couldn’t be left alone to face this, but she also couldn’t accompany her. In this moment of uncertainty, MO Shu stepped in and suggested, “Let Zhang Chao take her home for now.”

With no other solutions available, Xia Xin reluctantly agreed.

While sitting in the car, Xia Xin let out a long sigh, clearly in a bad mood.

Zhang Chao tried to console her, saying, “I’ve been falsely accused of assault by that woman, and you’ve been accused of having an affair with the director. We’re both in the same boat now.”

Xia Xin forced a smile, but she didn’t need this kind of similarity with Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao became serious and said, “The key issue now is whether you have any evidence to prove that what she said is false. If not, and online harassment continues, it could harm you greatly.”

Xia Xin shook her head, feeling completely helpless at the moment. As soon as she arrived home, Zhao Nan called.

Zhao Nan first scolded Wu Jia angrily and then asked Xia Xin about her plans.

Xia Xin sighed and said, “I have no idea what to do right now, and I’m completely clueless about handling public relations.”

This wasn’t the first time Xia Xin had faced online harassment, but the previous incident had been vague, and she hadn’t paid much attention to it. This time, it was even more significant, and she felt even more lost.

Zhao Nan worked as a celebrity agent and had experience dealing with such situations. She reassured Xia Xin, “Don’t panic. Leave it to me. I’ll think about how to handle this to minimize the damage to you. Look for any evidence that can prove she’s lying, and compile everything she did at your place into an article and send it to me. I’ll take care of the rest..
