Chapter 1038: Rapt Admiration

“Mhm,” Huo Ci acknowledged in disdain. He gave him a sideways look, but his expression was unpleasant. “Why are you here to complicate matters?”
“I’m a VIP.” Lu Yubai smiled smugly. Then, he even whispered, “In any case, it’s better than some people who come uninvited and don’t even have a seat. In the end, they can only come to the rescue.”
Huo Ci choked on his words and let out a cold snort. His att.i.tude was very overbearing. “We’re a family. What seat do I need?”
Lu Yubai smiled and did not reply. Yes, you guys are one family. Why aren’t you being stubborn anymore? In the end, didn’t you still acknowledge your relationship?
Su Yi and the others had not planned to come backstage either. But they had b.u.mped into Nangong Lengmo, who said that her whole family was in the office, so they had followed her over to take a look together. Now that they had already met, they were about to walk the red carpet at the front. After all, many fans were waiting for them.
Ling Sheng had not expected her mother to invite all her friends over. Ever since the finals of the talent show last year, they had not had a chance to get together again. Everyone was very happy to meet once more.
Shi Lingyu tugged at her arm and pulled her aside. She whispered ambiguously in her ear, “Are you with the neighbor now?”
Ling Sheng frowned strangely. Isn’t that nonsense? They have been together since a long time ago, all right?
Shi Lingyu reached out and poked the small strawberry1 on her neck gently. “I’m talking about this. This! You should at least cover it.”
Ling Sheng first took a nervous look at her mother, who was talking at the other side. Then, she pulled Shi Lingyu and turned around. She was wearing a turtleneck sweater! She didn’t know why her eyes were so sharp. “Can you still see it?”
“No, I’ll help you cover it up with foundation!” Shi Lingyu’s smile became even more ambiguous. She pulled up her collar and asked her secretly, “Don’t tell me last night, you guys finally…? Did your neighbor do that thing about Yu Chuhe?”
Yu Chuhe had instantly become a sc.u.mbag that everyone wanted to beat up. She really hadn’t expected that while he looked decent, had such a good reputation, and had his persona set up so well, he actually turned out to be a lowlife who swung both ways. Who knew how many female celebrities he had harmed in the entertainment circle and how many fans he’d f*cked?
Now, the entire Chinese entertainment circle had exploded. Be it female or male stars, everyone felt a sense of danger. They were afraid that Yu Chuhe’s trouble would implicate them, especially those male celebrities who had a pretty good relationship with Yu Chuhe. They had already been skinned alive by others who said that they had definitely slept with Yu Chuhe.
If it had not been for this fashion show, the trending topics would still have continued for a few days. Since this huge scandal affected the entire entertainment circle, Yu Chuhe sure would go down in the history of the Chinese entertainment industry in ignominy for tens of thousands of years.
However, the strange thing was that no one in Yu Chuhe and his team had stepped forward to speak up even till now. It was as though this person had disappeared into thin air. No one had news about him.
“Yes.” When Ling Sheng thought of what had happened yesterday, her expression became grave. She had almost forgotten about it. There was still something very important she had not done!
That b*stard Yu Chuhe had really dared to make a move on her. If the Third Master had not come to visit her in time, she didn’t know what condition she would be in now. After all, the effect of that medicine was really too strong. It made one so groggy that the mind was unable to clear up. Even the hospital couldn’t resolve the strong effects of the drug. She could only use physical intimacy as the antidote.
“What did he do?” Shi Lingyu was in the entertainment circle. That sc.u.mbag Yu Chuhe must have laid his hands on Sheng Sheng. That was why the neighbor had punished him like this.
Ever since Sheng Sheng had entered the entertainment circle, the number of male celebrities who had been entangled in scandals with her couldn’t even be counted on two hands. She hadn’t seen the neighbor intervene though. Why had the neighbor punished the sc.u.mbag Yu in his case? He had exposed a huge piece of news that would cause him to be despised by the world and forever be unable to make a comeback.
“What else could it be?” Ling Sheng definitely wouldn’t lie to her friend. She even pointed at the hickey she had just seen through her clothes.
“F*ck, that sc.u.mbag should be castrated. Is he a Teddy1?” Shi Lingyu was very furious. Although she had guessed it long ago inside, she still couldn’t help but be angry when she heard it personally.
Did that sc.u.mbag Yu Chuhe have a brain?! Sheng Sheng was the daughter of her Old Huo and Best Actress Nangong yet he had still dared to lay his hands on her! Wasn’t he brave?! Putting the Best Actor and Best Actress, he had a neighbor!
That’s why it’s said that one had to suffer for one’s own sins. What can you do to a person who’s courting death? You can only kill him!
Ling Sheng’s eyes also turned chilly. Last night, she had not had direct contact with Yu Chuhe or anything he had given her. After eating the dinner bought by Little Ye, her body started feeling strange.
She hadn’t expected that the a.s.sistant she trusted the most ever since she had transmigrated would do such a thing to her. After last night, she hadn’t seen Little Ye again. The Third Master had sent people to find her, but they weren’t able to find her.
Su Yi didn’t know what the two of them were talking about so secretively. She approached them. “What are you both whispering about? Let me hear it too.”
Ling Sheng said very calmly, “Nothing.”
Shi Lingyu nodded in agreement. Her eyes were even focused on Su Yi’s neck, but she didn’t notice any suspicious small hickeys on her. She felt a little disappointed for some reason. Teacher Lu! Sister Su Yi’s boyfriend was Teacher Lu! He was a male G.o.d. How exactly had she held back?!
She really admired them to the core. They had obviously been together for a long time, and even liked each other that much. Didn’t they want to take one step closer and have more intimate interactions?
Sheng Sheng and the neighbor were the same too. If it had not been for sc.u.mbag Yu’s ‘a.s.sistance’ last night, the duo would still be maintaining an innocent boy-girl relationship!
Su Yi had naturally seen Yu Chuhe’s scandal as well. She had come here mainly because she was worried about her. After all, her phone had been switched off. She had not been able to get through to her on the phone. Teacher Lu had only confirmed her situation after calling Best Actress Nangong.
The others were the same too. The most important thing was that after they had seen the news of Yu Chuhe’s scandals, they had come to see Ling Sheng. Upon seeing that she was all well and fine, they felt relieved and left while chatting and laughing.
Song Yiyan and Si Chengluo were not particularly close to the Eight Immortals. Si Chengluo was still slightly better. He had met the Eight Immortals a few times before and had his teammate, Cheng Ye, with him too. They were still considered quite familiar with one another.
“Aren’t the two of you leaving?” Ling Sheng looked at the duo.
“I can replace the models who didn’t show up at the last minute.” Si Chengluo was as cool as ever. Then, he added, “I’m a professional at catwalks.”
Huo Ci gave him a look and swallowed the word ‘scram’ back into his throat. Then, he said, “Chen Nan’s looking for you to go back. The people in your group have to make an appearance together to walk the red carpet.”
Jun Shiyan’s smile was elegant and gentle as he rejected politely. “There’s enough people. There’s no need for another model.”
