Xu Ke and Lin ngyao left without a care, leaving only their backs to the crowd, but the luckless Liao Yanyan wasn’t so fortunate. Because of sothing Xu Ke said before leaving, everyone knew she was a kept woman.
No matter how desperately she tried to explain afterward, it was useless. People prefer to believe what they want to believe, and a scandal involving a beautiful girl is always entertaining.
"I never would have thought a pretty girl like her would do such a thing. Maybe she doesn’t even know who the father of her child is and just picked soone to take the fall." Gossip A speculated, earning soft agreents from a few others around.
"I disliked her from the first glance. She always seed to have a sly aura, and look, she turned out to be a troubleso vixen." Gossip B rolled their eyes, amplifying their voice in a coldly sarcastic manner.
"Don’t speak so harshly, after all, we have no evidence. What if there are hidden truths? It’s not good to sentence soone so directly." A rational person among the gossipers said, but unfortunately, his remarks didn’t gain support and instead sparked so ideological re-education from more extre thinkers.
Listening to those around her discussing her, Liao Yanyan’s expression changed multiple tis.
After kneeling for too long, Liao Yanyan’s legs were numb. She managed to stand up by clutching a table, easing the tingling in her legs while cursing Xu Ke and Lin ngyao in her heart, contemplating her next move when a sudden exclamation ca from the crowd.
"Oh my god, if I’m not mistaken, isn’t she the new face from Star Entertainnt who’s been getting a lot of exposure lately? What’s her na again... ah, Liao Yanyan." Soone in the crowd shouted, recognizing Liao Yanyan.
Their voice was unrestrained, even rising a bit from excitent, and in almost an instant, everyone in the café knew Liao Yanyan’s identity.
"I’m not Liao Yanyan, you’re mistaken."
Since entering the café, for the first ti, Liao Yanyan’s expression turned to panic, the awkward look on her face laid bare before everyone.
She wanted to push through the crowd and leave, but her not fully recovered legs held her back. Liao Yanyan had just taken two steps when she was surrounded by people in the café, who began frantically taking photos and videos of her face.
"Oh my god, it’s my first ti seeing a celebrity up close. Her skin is amazing, she’s beautiful."
"I never would have thought the entertainnt industry was this ssy. I thought she was another youthful goddess, turns out she’s a mistress and pregnant out of wedlock. It’s a sha I didn’t catch that juicy part on video." The comnt reminded everyone.
"Did anyone record a video of what just happened? Can you send it to ?"
"Sa request, sa request."
" 1, 1."
"I got it. If you want the video, find later. Just to be clear, it’s not free." Soone in the crowd responded loudly, and the previously restless crowd suddenly quieted, followed by an even greater frenzy. Phones kept approaching Liao Yanyan’s face, caras practically pressed against her.
Among the crowd were those recording and narrating, so suddenly going live, and others pretending to interview Liao Yanyan journalist-style, with a few taking advantage of the chaos to benefit themselves.
Liao Yanyan’s face alternated between red and white, changing several tis within just a minute, but she had to endure it all without showing any dissatisfaction, lest it speed up her demise.
In the end, it was the shop staff who couldn’t stand it any longer. The café was in complete chaos and couldn’t be controlled, so they called the police to maintain order at the scene, but it was too late. The matter had already started fernting online.
Having offended Xu Ke, Star Entertainnt naturally didn’t send PR to resolve Liao Yanyan’s crisis, instead letting the situation develop on its own.
Liao Yanyan beca infamous, but unlike the previous ti she rose to fa, this ti she beca the epito of infamy. Within one night, she beca synonymous with shalessness and seduction, with her Weibo flooded with abusive comnts. Her private ssages on Weibo were filled with insults, threats, and curses, making the forr affection and declarations of love seem like a re dream.
Soone exposed Liao Yanyan’s phone number, and her phone was bombarded with calls. Now, Liao Yanyan was like a rat crossing the street, only daring to stay confined in the company-rented apartnt, with the curtains drawn and the door bolted to bring her a sense of security.
"I did as you asked, and now things have turned out like this. My career is ruined, I need money, I want to go abroad." Liao Yanyan used a SIM card she bought online to call the mysterious person who contacted her before. At this point, she was no longer the star she once was, having realized her predicant due to the company’s indifference.
Liao Yanyan’s hair was a ss, her once ticulously maintained face lost its luster. In just one night, she aged over ten years, her hair turned into a bird’s nest from her own tugging, clumps of hair between her fingers, and her well-manicured nails were bitten bare, so already oozing blood.
"You didn’t accomplish any of the tasks you were given, what makes you think you can demand so much?" The mysterious person’s voice on the other end was largely unchanged, but their tone clearly carried mockery.
"What do you an? Are you trying to burn the bridge after crossing it? Ha, you think I’m easy to bully? I have all the recordings from our collaboration and chat screenshots online. I’ve already been ruined because of you. A few more lice don’t bother . Push too much, and I’ll hand these recordings to Xu Ke and Lin ngyao—maybe I’ll find a way out."
Liao Yanyan hadn’t gone mad, but she was pretty close. The person on the other end fell silent, clearly aware that Liao Yanyan was indeed capable of doing sothing as foolish as harming others and harming herself in the process.
"How much do you want?" The voice on the other end finally asked, displeased.
"Fifteen million, and you need to cover my breach penalty. I signed a B-level contract with Star Entertainnt, the compensation is around five million, not more than six million." Liao Yanyan said, knitting her brows.
