Chapter 2597: Gossip
“Ji Yan, don’t be sad…”
Somebody immediately went forward to console her.
Inside the dressing room, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ waited for a long time but her makeup artist was nowhere in sight. Mu Xi was so angry that she stomped her foot and cursed, “D*mm*t! How could she take sides when she didn’t even know what’s going on?! I’ll report the situation to the venue manager tomorrow and fire her!”
“That’s fine,” the actress said. “I can do it myself; it’s only light makeup, anyway.”
After saying this, she opened the makeup pouch and started to apply the foundation. Her technique was not expertly skillful, but she was still meticulous.
As she was applying her makeup, she asked, “What happened exactly? Why was everyone giving me a strange look today?”
“s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, you may not know this yet, but the crew is gossiping about your relations.h.i.+p with Gao Nan.”
“Gao Nan and I?” The actress’s eyes widened in shock and she turned her head to look at her a.s.sistant incredulously. Befuddled, she asked, “What’s my relations.h.i.+p with him?!”
“Well, didn’t Hua Jin and that man get into a brawl at the party last night? The idol said that the guy was molesting you, and then Ji Yan left with her boyfriend thereafter, right? Today, when I arrived on set, I heard Ji Yan complaining to the crew that, after leaving the bar last night, her boyfriend told her that you had taken the initiative to seduce him. According to him, you wanted to lean on his power to gain more fame and status. Everyone was gullible enough to believe her words and became prejudiced against you.”
It turned out that the party had ended in an unhappy note after she left.
However, as a result, the gossip about her and Gao Nan spread through the crew.
Many people began to speculate the reason for the fight between the actor and the rich young master.
Some said that Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was a troublemaker and she must have sowed discord.
The next day, before the protagonist arrived on set, Ji Yan’s a.s.sistant told the other staff that she was the third party in a love triangle.
‘Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ may appear clean-cut and innocent, but she’s, in fact, a shameless third party!’
This was harsh criticism and the crowd instantly gathered around curiously, looking to gossip about the matter.
The a.s.sistant said that Ji Yan cried and confessed everything Gao Nan told her last night.
According to the man, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ secretly slipped a note to him at the party last night and asked for them to meet outside the bathroom.
He arrived as promised, and the actress actually took the initiative to throw an olive branch at him, saying that she wanted to sleep with him for a night.
‘I’ll sleep with you for one night, and in return, you’ll have to promote me as the female lead of ‘Lan Ling’s Downfall’, okay?’
Gao Nan’s mother, who was the top executive of an entertainment company, had recently invested in a fictional period drama about the Prince of Lanling.
Thus, the actress had shamelessly made this proposition in order to become the female lead of that drama.
The man was momentarily bewitched by her charm and could not help kissing her, and this was when Hua Jin b.u.mped into them.
It was well known that the idol and Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ had always been ambiguous with each other, and the two were often seen together. After finis.h.i.+ng his filming parts on set, he could often be seen getting in her car.
Hence, the crew speculated that the two were secret lovers.
When Hua Jin saw them together, he was naturally annoyed and mistakenly thought that Gao Nan was molesting the actress, so the two had a big scuffle.
However, when the rest arrived at the scene, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ pretended to be the innocent party and effectively cut off all ties with the men.
Everyone was taken aback with this great reveal.
