Jia Bing sneered, “She’s just a little influencer. What can she do to resolve this issue? She doesn’t even have the support of a company behind her. Do you think she can outmaneuver Wan Wan?”
Chen Ping had anticipated that Jia Bing would react this way and pulled out his phone to show him something. Chen Ping said, “Take a look at this. Within 24 hours of the incident, Gao Xin publicly voiced support for Xia Xin on social media. If Xia Xin didn’t have someone backing her, why would Gao Xin support her like this? Gao Xin and Wan Wan are in the same group. Isn’t this a direct challenge to Wan Wan’s credibility?”
Jia Bing fell silent as he considered that.
Gao Xin’s company, Stellar Entertainment, was one of the top talent agencies in the entertainment industry. Aside from Gao Xin and Jing MO, their most popular artists included MO Shu. If Stellar Entertainment was willing to support Xia Xin, it was highly likely that they had orchestrated this to boost Xia Xin’s popularity, even if it meant taking a controversial route.
Chen Ping continued to persuade, “Xia Xin will undoubtedly enter the entertainment industry in the future. Think about it; if we keep her scenes for now, it’s like she owes us a favor. It’s equivalent to giving Stellar Entertainment some face.”
Jia Bing no longer insisted and changed his stance. He said, “Let’s keep her scenes for a couple of days, then.”
At that moment, Sun Hu entered the room and approached Jia Bing and Chen Ping. Sun Hu said, “Jing MO is here today to visit Gao Xin’s set and has brought boxed lunches from Matcharia for everyone. How about taking a short break?” Since it was already noon, Jia Bing decided to allow everyone to take a break.
Gao Xin brought Jing MO to her trailer and asked, “Why did you come over suddenly, and how is Xia Xin?”
Jing MO glanced outside and replied, “Ask her yourself.”
As soon as Jing MO said that, Xia Xin sneaked into the trailer from outside. She removed her mask and hat only after ensuring that no one was around. She had waited in the parking lot for an hour before coming out, to avoid any rumors about her and Jing MO being together.
Gao Xin was puzzled. She asked, “Why did you come to the set? Aren’t you afraid of reporters swarming you?”
Xia Xin jokingly replied, “Of course, I’m afraid. But first, go and check the trending topics.”
Gao Xin had been busy with the shoot and hadn’t had time to check her phone. She opened the trending topics and found that an hour ago, Xia Xin had posted a video showing Wan Wan and Wu Jia talking. It turned out they were cousins.
Within half an hour of the video being posted, it had garnered over 100,000 discussions and quickly climbed to the top of the trending topics. The netizens who had initially been overwhelmingly criticizing Xia Xin had now shifted their support to her and were criticizing Wu Jia and Wan Wan instead. The comment section on their social media profiles was flooded with negativity.
Gao Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank goodness you have evidence to prove that they conspired against you. Otherwise, I would have been really worried for you.”
Xia Xin sincerely said, “Thank you for supporting me during this challenging time. By the way, how far is your trailer from Wan Wan’s?”
Gao Xin didn’t understand why Xia Xin was asking this, but she pointed to the neighboring trailer and said, “Her trailer is right next to mine.”
Xia Xin glanced outside, estimated the distance, and found it to be exactly fifty meters. She then asked, “When does Wan Wan usually return to her trailer?”
“She’s out for lunch right now. She’ll probably be in the trailer resting in the afternoon. Why are you asking this?” Gao Xin inquired.
Xia Xin replied, “Just wanted to have a chat with her and ask for an apology.”
Gao Xin advised Xia Xin, “There’s no reasoning with someone like her. I suggest you give up on that idea.”
Xia Xin neither agreed nor disagreed. Instead, she changed the topic, and after finishing their meal, Gao Xin had more scenes to shoot. Jing MO had come to visit, so he needed to make an appearance on set. The two of them left for the filming location together.
Meanwhile, Xia Xin waited alone in the trailer.
In the late afternoon, Wan Wan finally returned.
From a distance, Xia Xin could see that something was amiss with Wan Wan’s expression. She seemed extremely angry and was even scolding Li Jie, who was with her. It appeared that Wan Wan had seen the trending topics.
Shortly after, Li Jie was chased out of the trailer by Xia Xin, leaving Wan Wan inside. This meant that there was now only Wan Wan in the trailer.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Xin quickly retrieved her Enchanted
Puppet and began to visualize Wan Wan’s appearance in her mind. Gradually, the puppet transformed to look exactly like Wan Wan.
Then, Xia Xin issued a command to the puppet, instructing Wan Wan to take out her phone and post a statement on social media, admitting her mistakes and apologizing to Xia Xin..
