Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1763: Chapter 1665: Missing

The entertainment company where Su Lingxue and Luo Shaoqun belong quickly launched a crisis PR campaign upon hearing the news, trying to use the filming storyline to cover up their scandal. Even Xu Shaoqing called Zheng Lixiang to ask for her help to clarify the situation, but Zheng Lixiang was unwilling to get involved in such matters, leaving Xu Shaoqing with no choice but to find other ways.

At 5:15 in the afternoon, it’s unclear whether the reporters had colluded intentionally, but multiple media outlets exposed a set of images simultaneously on Weibo, accompanied by a string of text.

[A certain actress and a certain actor secretly rendezvoused in a hotel during the filming of a modern fantasy movie, caught by reporters in the act. It is reported that the male star has a wife and children, with a happy marriage, always presenting himself as a model husband and father.]

As soon as this news broke, the entire entertainment circle was in an uproar.

”How can this be? Shaoqing, you must help think of a way, if this matter isn’t handled well, my Lingxue will be ruined! How can she marry into a good family in the future?”

An anxious middle-aged woman clung onto Xu Shaoqing’s arm, refusing to let go.

”I’ve always said this entertainment circle is no good, but she wouldn’t listen. Now look at this, involved with a married man, what a disgrace to the Su Family!”

A middle-aged man looked livid, evidently enraged.

”Impossible, my Lingxue is so obedient, how could she possibly mix with such a person? She must have been coerced by that Luo Shaoqun!”

The middle-aged woman fumed, ”Who knows what means he used, such a person cannot be condoned, he must be put in jail!”

Xu Shaoqing sat in his seat, silent, while Su Wenya kept calling Su Lingxue but her phone was always off, causing her to furrow her brows tightly.

”Call Huang Jingwen and ask her what is going on!” Seeing Xu Shaoqing unmoved, Su Wenya urged.

With the Su Family Elders and his wife watching, Xu Shaoqing reluctantly picked up his phone.

Once the call connected, Huang Jingwen was heard anxiously shouting on the phone, ”President Xu, Su Lingxue is missing.”

Xu Shaoqing’s expression changed, glancing at the Su Family elders, before asking in a deep voice, ”Weren’t you supposed to watch over her? What happened?”

Huang Jingwen was equally anxious, ”After returning to her room, she skipped breakfast and slept. I went to meet President Liu in charge of the crisis PR, but when I came back she was gone.”

”Where could she go? Did you look for her?” Xu Shaoqing was also anxious, fearing Su Lingxue might do something rash.

Huang Jingwen had indeed searched, mobilizing several people to scour around Meishan Film and Television Base, but couldn’t find her.

”The whole company is trying to find ways for her. At a time like this, who knows how many media reporters are watching her. If another scandal breaks, it will be truly disastrous. I’m not worried she’ll do something rash, I’m worried she’ll go retaliate against Huo Sining! That woman is not easy to deal with, Lingxue might not stand a chance against her!” Huang Jingwen said in a panic.

”Huo Sining? What does she have to do with this?” Hearing Huang Jingwen mention Huo Sining, Xu Shaoqing grabbed onto the clue, ”What’s going on? Did you provoke Huo Sining again?”

Huang Jingwen wasn’t foolish and realized there was no point in lying at this stage, so she immediately recounted how Su Lingxue was unwilling yet dared not confront Huo Sining, and decided to target Huo Sining’s associate Xie Yuxing instead.

”Who would have thought those two women would turn out to be sly foxes? They pretended to be drunk while having a midnight snack, then knocked Lingxue out and sent her to Luo Shaoqun’s bed. This Huo Sining is vicious; if Lingxue seeks her out again, she’ll likely suffer even more!”

Huang Jingwen hadn’t expected Huo Sining to play the mantis stalking the cicada while unaware of the oriole behind, making fools of her and Su Lingxue.

Upon hearing the whole story, Xu Shaoqing was so furious his insides hurt.

He had spoken nicely to several vice presidents, leveraged various connections, to manage the previous ”Pearl Powder” incident. To appease Huo Sining’s anger, he had humbled himself, rushing to Meishan to apologize to Huo Sining, only to barely make peace with her.

Yet Su Lingxue not only ignored his warnings, but had intensified her actions, repeatedly provoking that female fiend with such underhanded tactics!

At this moment, Xu Shaoqing felt like he was about to explode, and wished he could just walk away from all of this.

”Find her, then avoid the media and return to the Imperial Capital, keep a close watch on her, and don’t cause any more trouble!”

Xu Shaoqing’s face was grim, and before Huang Jingwen could say anything, he hung up the phone.

Seeing her husband upset, Su Wenya was puzzled, ”What happened?”

Xu Shaoqing glanced at the Lu Family Elders, speaking solemnly, ”Uncle, Auntie, I can’t manage Su Lingxue’s matter, you need to find someone more capable.”

Upon hearing this, the Su Family Elders’ expressions changed immediately.

Auntie Su asked urgently:

”Shaoqing, what’s going on? You can’t help with Lingxue’s small matter, isn’t it just a little celebrity scandal? We don’t understand the entertainment industry, but isn’t solving it a quick thing for you? We’re not asking for much, why can’t you just manage it?”

Uncle Su took one look at Su Wenya and sarcastically remarked:

”Perhaps they look down on us poor relatives. Fine, if you can’t help, we won’t stick around and be in the way.”

Xu Shaoqing indeed looked down on this side of the Su Family, not only because the Su Family was just his wife’s relatives, not his own family, but he really had no obligation to assist them.

Moreover, each member of the Su Family was a rarity; Su Lingxue often tried to take advantage of Su Wenya, and Uncle Su and Auntie Su often sought to profit indirectly. If not for Su Wenya’s sake, Xu Shaoqing wouldn’t be so polite with them.

However, if he didn’t clear things up, this pair might return home spreading rumors like disrespect for elders, lack of love for siblings, or not even offering a small favor. If such words reached Su Wenya’s ears, she would surely be upset for a long time. No matter how much Xu Shaoqing disliked the Su Family, he didn’t wish to trouble his wife.

”Uncle, Auntie, let me clarify today; it’s not that I don’t want to help, but the mess Su Lingxue has caused is too significant.”

”You think this is just an exposed entertainment scandal? If it were that simple, we could easily pay off the media, and wouldn’t be so passive like now.”
