Chapter 247: Who Cares? Let’s Continue Watching a Good Show
“Is such a worthless woman worth so much of your attention? A member of the Bai family should not be acting this way. Do you understand what I am saying?” Master Bai asked in a very angry tone.
At this time, Mrs. Bai dragged Ling Fei, who was dressed in her pyjamas, in front of Master Bai.
“Dad, Xiao Fei is not what you think she is…”
“She’s not the type of person I a.s.sume her to be? Then, why is she fooling around with you in bed even though the both of you are still unmarried? I am so angry and frustrated just by looking at both of you acting indecently right now! Butler, get this woman out of this house now and make sure that the young master breaks all contact with this woman from today onwards. If I find out that you two are still in contact and still having a relations.h.i.+p with one another, then I can a.s.sure you that Ling Fei will either be disabled or completely gone from this world! You can make your own decision now.”
Ling Fei was frightened and shocked when she heard Master Bai’s words.
She did not want to be disabled, nor did she want to disappear from this world.
So, Ling Fei could not help but stagger backwards helplessly.
“Xiao Fei…please don’t go.”
Ling Fei was so scared that she did not even change out of her pyjamas, but she simply grabbed her backpack from the sofa and rushed out of Bai Tingzhang’s private villa immediately.
“Is this the type of woman that you love so dearly? Bai Tingzhang, do you know how difficult it was for me to build the Bai family’s business empire and do you know how much sweat and sacrifice we had to make to finally make it this far? You, on the other hand, only know how to enjoy life and give me all kinds of trouble all the time. If you did not casually offend people that you should not have offended simply because of that woman, then you would not be in this situation right now. Do you know how easily I can deal with you? I am warning you one last time. You had better not test my patience. Otherwise, I don’t know what I will do to you.”
After he was done speaking, Master Bai turned around to give some instructions to the butler. “The young master will be grounded for the next three months. I want you to freeze all his credit cards and bank accounts. I do not object to him spending money on women but…not all women are worth it!”
At this point, Ling Fei was still unaware about what she was about to lose but when her agent came to pick her up to drop her home, she was extremely embarra.s.sed.
“What happened? Didn’t young master Bai bring you out to humiliate and teach Jiang Yuning a lesson tonight? Why did you run out in public dressed in your pyjamas? What are you going to say if you run into one of your fans?”
Ling Fei started crying as she held tightly onto her agent’s arm. “Bai Tingzhang’s father came and chased me out of his villa. He made Bai Tingzhang break up with me on the spot.”
As soon as Ling Fei’s agent heard her story, she immediately knew that the situation had taken a turn for the worse.
Bai Tingzhang had been Ling Fei’s gold sponsor for many years. He had supported and backed Ling Fei up in whatever she wanted to do. He would make big donations and use money and his power to ensure that Ling Fei would stand out in the entertainment circle. If Ling Fei lost Bai Tingzhang’s support at this time, then Ling Fei’s future would be unimaginable.
However, the only thing that they could do right now was to block the news and not let anyone know that there were already some changes in Ling Fei and Bai Tingzhang’s relations.h.i.+p.
“Let’s go home first.”
But…this matter was not beyond Ling Fei’s agent’s control.
Because the second young master Lu’s next step would be to let Ling Fei understand what a devastating blow was.
Alas, he was going to take a breather tonight. After all, it was better not to be too intensive when dealing with this kind of matter.
He would allow her to catch her breath and breathe a sigh of relief before he started torturing her again. That would be the taste of h.e.l.l.
…
At eight o’clock that night, Jiang Yuning walked into the living room in a quick manner. When she saw Lu Jingzhi sitting on the sofa as he looked at his laptop, she quickly rushed up to him before she threw herself at him. “Second brother…”
“So fast?” Lu Jingzhi asked as he looked at the time. Jiang Yuning had only been out for a little more than an hour, including the time needed to make the trip there and back.
“Well, of course. How could I hold back when I could just give her a slap across the face and end things immediately?” Jiang Yuning hummed. “I have not felt this satisfied in a long, long time.”
Lu Jingzhi allowed her to continued leaning against him as he continued typing on his laptop. “Are you really that happy?”
Jiang Yuning felt that his response was very dull so she sat up immediately to take a look at what he was doing. At this time, she suddenly realized that he was using his @Scenery account to forward a fan message to her.
His sentence was so old-fas.h.i.+oned and lacked any expression at all.
“Second young master, which young man would speak in such a boring and old-fas.h.i.+oned manner? There is no emotion in your sentence at all!”
Lu Jingzhi turned off his laptop immediately before he turned around and pinched her chin. “I seem to be hearing someone complaining that I am old?”
“Did I?” Jiang Yuning asked as she smiled at him.
Lu Jingzhi could not stand Jiang Yuning’s cheekiness and so, he wanted to tame his little fox. He picked her up from the sofa and carried her in his arms as he made his way to the bedroom immediately.
“I think that I would have to prove myself then. I will prove to you that I am still young!”
Jiang Yuning felt regretful immediately, as though she had said something wrong.
But it was already too late.
However, no matter what it was, since she had already become a tyrant and taught someone a lesson today, she might as well end the day with a happy ending.
Of course, there was a hidden meaning in the message that Lu Jingzhi posted to Jiang Yuning’s page but Jiang Yuning did not realize it until Vera called her the next morning.
“Your brother has already zoomed into the matter and exposed who Ling Fei’s gold sponsor is. The material that he had released on X Society is so rich and boundless, and it clearly proves that Ling Fei has achieved fame all these years only because she had a gold sponsor who was paving the way for her all this while. It was simply amazing. Although I do not quite agree with his choice of choosing to release the news on a Friday morning, as it might steal some of the attention that you would have received because of the episode that will be aired tonight…but I am still very happy. Ling Fei’s fans have always been arrogant and they have always claimed that their idol has attained her status and achievements today through her own talent and hard work.”
“Let me have a look.” Jiang Yuning got up and turned on her laptop as she continued staying on the line with Vera.
“Why would your brother…release this news all of a sudden? Did he say anything to you?”
When Jiang Yuning heard Vera’s words, she immediately thought of what Lu Jingzhi posted on her social media last night. This was not the first time that Ku Jie and Lu Jingzhi were working together. Whenever Ku Jie did something without consulting her first, it was always related to Lu Jingzhi.
“Who cares? Let’s just continue watching a good show…”
Jiang Yuning was very happy that Ku Jie and Lu Jingzhi were dealing with the matter on her behalf.
This was because she had never considered Nan Xinyue or Ling Fei to be her opponent. If these people did not find fault with her in the first place, she would never have wasted any of her precious time on them.
They could have continued living their lives with their blooming careers, but they chose to create trouble and subsequently brought disaster among themselves instead.
“Wow. Look at the comments. This is really humiliating.”
[Ling Fei’s fans must be so embarra.s.sed to learn about this news because they have always advocated that their idol has gotten all of her achievements based on her own talents and abilities. Isn’t this a smack to their faces now?]
[Why is everyone only believing this old news now? Someone had already tried to bring this matter to the public’s attention in the past but no one believed it before. The magnate has already been Ling Fei’s gold sponsor since a few years back. Alas, all these rich young masters are all dumb and r.e.t.a.r.ded.]
[Can I just say that this young master is also very pitiful? Everyone in and out of the entertainment circle already knows that Ling Fei is only interested in Xiao Chennan…so, how could she have any affection for him at all?]
[Ling Fei also did a very sensational thing in the last two days. Once this news circulates around the entertainment circle, I wonder how Ling Fei is going to hold this out.]
[This is my idol’s private life, so why is everyone judging and criticizing her? Both the man and woman are single and unmarried, so what is the problem? My Xiao Fei is going to marry into a prestigious family! All of you are just jealous. Just wait and see!]
[There is one more thing I would like to add. Her gold sponsor is indeed from a very prestigious and wealthy family background but when this kind of thing happens, it is actually very shameful for the family.]
It was very difficult to suppress the news or to stop it from spreading because this news was directly released by X Society and the public discussion rate was very high.
When Ling Fei’s agency found out about this matter, they tried to stop the news but there was no way that they could have done it.
In the end, a lawyer representing the Bai family finally came forward to negotiate with X Society. He quickly denied any intimate or personal relations.h.i.+p between Bai Tingzhang and Ling Fei and the lawyer also claimed that the person in the photograph merely resembled Bai Tingzhang. Moreover, the lawyer even claimed that Ling Fei was the one who had leaked this scandal just so that she could try and claim some sort of benefit from Bai Tingzhang.
The Bai family also issued a statement and gave the most severe warning to Ling Fei. “The Bai family is not involved in any scandals involving any actresses in the entertainment industry and there is absolutely no possibility that a mere actress could be the Bai family’s daughter-in-law. Those people who are trying to connect or hype up a relations.h.i.+p between Bai Tingzhang and Ling Fei can just stop dreaming.”
Moreover, the Bai family even stated that Ling Fei had started this rumor to force the Bai family to acknowledge her and approve of her so that she could start a relations.h.i.+p with Bai Tingzhang.
As soon as the Bai family released their statement, Ling Fei’s fans received backlash once again.
It was as though people were adding salt to their wound…
