Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Xia’s phone rang frantically after she went to bed.
Lu Xia frowned and opened her groggy eyes. She picked up the phone from her bedside table to see that it was from her agent. She looked at it quizzically before she answered the phone.
“Brother Tian?”
Her agent said angrily over the phone, “Xiaxia, are you nuts? Why did you steal your brother’s new track and gave it to Xiang Nan?”
Lu Xia was instantly shocked to hear this. “Brother Tian, what are you talking about? What do you mean I stole his new song?”
Her agent rubbed his forehead and said furiously, “Go and check Weibo. Your conversation with Xiang Nan was recorded and leaked online. You have gone viral on Weibo and are hogging the headlines thanks to this audacious stunt you pulled.”
Brother Tian hung up the moment he finished his sentence.
Initially, Brother Tian had thought that his artiste was smart, but she ended up being such a brainless girl. He was genuinely blind!
He was highly suspicious about whether Lu Xia and Huo Xiang were actually siblings. Would Lu Xia have wrecked his career if they were?
Lu Xia went into a daze for two seconds as she listened to the dial tone before she opened Weibo.
Out of the ten hot searches on Weibo, eight of them were about her and Xiang Nan.
Lu Xia tapped on the post, ‘Here Is the Truth You Have Been Waiting For’. She went into a state of shock after she heard the audio recording.
Someone had tapped her conversation with Xiang Nan.
Lu Xia was stupefied. After listening to the recording, she called her agent. However, he did not pick up the phone.
“How did it get recorded?” muttered Lu Xia to herself. Everything was okay till last night. Her ex-sibling hid like a coward and did not dare to explain himself.
How could this recording have gone viral in a matter of hours?
It must have been Xiang Nan. Other than him, no one else could have recorded it.
Lu Xia anxiously called Xiang Nan. However, she kept receiving an automated reply saying his phone was not within the service area.
Xiang Nan had blacklisted her.
Lu Xia swiped through Weibo and saw the apology that Xiang Nan had just posted.
Xiang Nan a.s.serted his innocence in the post. He claimed to be duped by Lu Xia. As per him, she was the scheming and wicked mastermind behind everything. He had pushed all the blame on her.
Lu Xia bit her lip in disbelief.
She could not believe Xiang Nan did that.
She checked her private messages and the comments on her Weibo homepage. Everyone was dissing her and saying that she ought to get blackballed.
Lu Xia sat limply in bed, without any color on her face. Her hands were trembling. She felt as though something was choking her, and she had trouble breathing.
How did things end up like this?
*
She remained sleepless all night.
Xiang Nan had put the entire responsibility on Lu Xia, and her agent refused to answer her calls. Lu Xia headed downstairs, looking weary and feeling terribly upset.
However, He Xiaoman walked over angrily the moment Lu Xia reached the living room and gave her a resounding slap before Lu Xia could even greet her.
“Just look at what you’ve done! Your scandal is all over the internet.” He Xiaoman was furious.
She had received phone calls from some rich women, whom she was not particularly close to when she woke up this morning. The first thing they mentioned was the reprehensible act that her lovely daughter had committed.
Their blatant mockery left her utterly embarra.s.sed.
Lu Xia covered her face. She looked at her biological mother in disbelief.
She was being boycotted and blacklisted all over the internet, but her mother did not show even a bit of concern. Instead, she slapped her as though Lu Xia had committed some heinous crime.
