Rumors had it that this matter had taken a turn for the worse because his wife caught him in the act this time.
This was big news. Besides photos, the affair was caught on camera. With the curtains parted wide open, Li Wenqing was not discreet at all when he banged Tang Yu.
He seemed unconcerned with the paparazzi’s presence at that time, though he probably did not expect the matter to blow up!
There were other minor repercussions from this news.
The following day after Huanyu’s gala, all the major media outlets that had their reporters work through the night to produce articles on their chosen exposes released the news first thing in the morning.
However, that morning, Star Entertainment News jumped on the bandwagon by hinting of an exclusive coverage on a starlet who had used underhanded means to advance her career.
When the news was released, various media organizations were caught off guard.
Is that true?
This upset their plans with their carefully selected news.
At first, they thought that this was another well-played tactic employed by investors to generate publicity for their upcoming show.
They were used to such trickeries.
At seven in the morning, Li Wenqing and Tang Yu’s scandal was released, and it unexpectedly went viral.
Star Entertainment News monopolized the public’s interest, so the rest could not sit back and just watch further. One by one, they dug up the actress’s dark and dirty secrets to create more sensational news.
Hence, Tang Yu’s dark history was exposed to the public through the various media outlets.
The media had a field day with her sordid past.
[… Used to be an escort prior to entering the show business; she worked at nightclubs…]
[… Slept with two deputy directors and a few well-known actors to clinch the lead role in…]
[… Competed for attention with fellow actress, Yang Mi, from the same agency…]
[… Bullied a newcomer during production…]
It was as if the media wanted to rip her apart, exposing all her buried dirt one after another.
The biggest loser here was her fans.
Her roles in many movies and shows were always a sweet, innocent maiden, which garnered her many homely male fans. Their dreams were dashed upon learning of her true colors, and many of them turned against her. Her fanbase on Weibo plummeted from ten million to five million in a matter of days.
The actresses, including Yang Mi, that were somewhat close to her quickly released statements clarifying their relations.h.i.+p with her. Now that her image was ruined, they started to distance themselves from her.
In the deadly entertainment industry, there were also those who chose to do her in by riding on her bad publicity.
“‘She is a bad influence for the young!"”
As Youyou read this line aloud, he saw a few sheets rolled out of the fax machine. He walked over, held up the stack of information sheets, and started reading. His face froze after one glance.
The hand holding the papers visibly shook.
What… What is this?
Is this the truth that I want?
Li Hanlin’s words reverberated in his ears again; was this the reason for his inhibition?
Right at this moment, the loud ringing of the doorbell jolted him out of his pensive thoughts. He switched on the CCTV and saw his grandfather standing outside the door.
Li Qin, who was standing beside him, looked worried and anxious.
