But Xia Yangyang truly despised this man for playing dumb.
Without reserve, Xia Yangyang said, “Either way, he’s better than you, Gu Qichen, I don’t want to go in circles with you anymore. If you still disagree with the divorce, I’ll directly contact a lawyer to negotiate with you, if you’re not afraid of exposure.”
Gu Qichen remained calm on the surface, but inside a raging anger burned.
This woman has some nerve to be able to fuel his rage within a few seconds. In all these years, she’s the first to pull this off.
In just three days, she’s brought up divorce three times with him.
Gu Qichen’s voice grew colder and more chilling, “Xia Yangyang, I forgot to tell you when we got married, there’s no such word as ‘divorce’ in my dictionary. Only ‘widowhood’.”
Xia Yangyang stared at him in disbelief.
His icy and cold face was eerily terrifying.
She’d never seen this side of Gu Qichen before – so malicious and cold-hearted.
Gu Qichen stormed out.
Shortly after, Xia Yangyang heard the roar of a car engine below.
Gu Qichen left Maple Villa.
Where could he be going at this late hour?
Is he going to meet Shen Manbing?
Xia Yangyang felt extremely exhausted and fell asleep almost instantly as she lay on the bed.
The very next morning.
Xia Yangyang went to the set.
As she entered the makeup room, she saw everyone huddled together, discussing something.
The chatter abruptly ceased as she entered the room, everyone looked at her with unusual eyes.
Xia Yangyang was puzzled.
Lu Yao came over with a worried look on his face, “Yangyang, you’re today’s entertainment headline.”
After saying so, he placed a copy of the entertainment newspaper in Xia Yangyang’s hand.
The glaring headline read, “Star Diva’s fiance cheats with newcomer, caught in the act during the late hours.”
Below the headline were several photos.
They were apparently taken by a paparazzo with a telephoto lens.
The pictures depicted two people kissing in a corridor.
Xia Yangyang could recall that Maple Villa’s corridor was transparent from the south to north. The panoramic glass window on the southernmost balcony must have been the point of view of the photos.
The images were not very clear, but the silhouettes of the two people could be made out.
The report revealed her identity.
However, it was quite sharp-tongued, stating outright that she was the homewrecker between Shen Manbing and Gu Qichen.
It also spread rumors of her sleeping her way to the top in her latest drama.
With the release of the story, the internet was flooded with a torrent of condemnation.
Shen Manbing’s fans were up in arms, launching a “Xia Yangyang get out of the entertainment industry” topic that got millions of views, receiving unprecedented attention.
Even Chen Yu’s fans, worried that such a leading actress would tarnish their idol, joined the “We demand Cinderella’s reshoot with a new heroine” bandwagon.
Before long, Xia Yangyang was at the center of the storm, receiving immense public scorn.
Xia Weiwei walked over with a smirk, “Xia Yangyang, you have nothing to say for yourself now, do you? However, you’re still denying being a homewrecker. Let’s see how you can defend yourself now. President Gu is holding a press conference at 3pm this afternoon. He will definitely disassociate himself from you. Xia Yangyang, if I were you, I’d rather crash into a wall and die, rather than drown in the spit of Shen Manbing’s fans.”
Xia Weiwei was elated from within.
She contracted the paparazzi. The previous night, she saw Xia Yangyang sneak out and had the paparazzi follow her.
Who’d have thought it would blow up into such a big piece of news.
Xia Yangyang would undoubtedly not be able to recover from this.
Nothing could sink an entertainer faster than a scandal, especially when she’s caught between a celeb couple, and all this right before their alleged engagement announcement.
As soon as the news broke, Shengyuan immediately announced they will hold a press conference, looking eager to clarify the situation.
It happens all the time in the entertainment industry.
Normally, they’d deny until undisputable evidence surfaces, usually, the weaker party takes the fall.
The weaker party is usually blamed for taking the initiative, or for taking advantage of a drunken situation, and so on.
Of course, the man might give the woman a settlement that ensures she doesn’t have to worry about living expenses for the rest of her life.
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, Xia Yangyang’s acting career is now completely shattered..
