Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1764: Chapter 1666: Divorce

”It’s not uncommon for men and women in the entertainment industry to have secret rendezvous; why were they the only ones discovered? How did so many reporters know about it, waiting outside the hotel room all morning? Haven’t you thought about that?”

Xu Shaoqing’s words awakened Uncle Su, who was immediately shocked, looking at Xu Shaoqing with wide eyes: ”Are you saying someone is framing our Lingxue?”

Before Xu Shaoqing could speak, Auntie Su got anxious: ”Framed? Who could be so cruel as to ruin a young girl’s reputation? Our Lingxue is still so young; why would someone harm her?! Do you know who it is, Shaoqing? Why don’t you help Lingxue? This person is so vicious; we must bring them to justice!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Shaoqing couldn’t help but smile bitterly and mockingly: ”I know who it is, but I’m sorry, I can’t help Su Lingxue, because she brought this upon herself, she has no one else to blame.”

”What do you mean?” Su Wenya asked, puzzled.

Xu Shaoqing sighed and repeated the whole story he heard from Huang Jingwen over the phone.

”Su Lingxue’s downfall is entirely her own doing. If she wanted to harm others, she can’t blame Huo Sining and Xie Yuxing for retaliating; it’s not Luo Shaoqun’s fault either, she can only blame herself for not being as talented.”

”I can’t help her with this; it requires the person who tied the knot to untangle it. If she wants to calm things down, she should quickly apologize to the parties involved.”

”Also, let me warn you, Huo Sining is not to be trifled with, especially given the powerful families behind her. This is likely just their first move; more severe actions may follow!”

Upon hearing Xu Shaoqing’s words, the Su Family Elders instantly seemed to age ten years, with Aunt Su looking incredulously at Xu Shaoqing:

”You must be talking nonsense. Our Lingxue, such an innocent and kind girl, how could she be so malicious? She’s always been good to others, how could she come up with such a vicious plan to harm others, it’s impossible!”

Xu Shaoqing felt helpless too. The Su Family Elders didn’t understand the workings of the entertainment industry, but he knew all too well.

The entertainment industry is like a vast dye vat, and someone as pure as a blank sheet of paper can’t survive in it.

Su Lingxue has been in the entertainment industry for over a decade; it’s impossible for her to remain as naive and kind as in her childhood. In fact, these years, Su Lingxue has done numerous disreputable things to suppress competitors and newcomers, even Xu Shaoqing himself had to clean up after her many times.

The situation reached this point entirely because of Su Lingxue herself.

Su Lingxue, accustomed to winning, suddenly faced defeat at Huo Sining’s hands and couldn’t swallow her pride, leading to her seeking revenge.

Having enjoyed smooth sailing for years, her confidence surged, making her lose sight of her own capabilities, believing that as long as she was backed, she could do whatever she wanted in the industry. Little did she know, there are many more powerful than her.

Especially people like Huo Sining with government connections; no matter how famous someone is in the entertainment industry, they’re nothing in front of officials.

Xu Shaoqing now felt a slight regret.

He only blamed himself for being careless while at Meishan Film and Television Base, failing to notice Su Lingxue’s intentions, otherwise he would never have allowed her to remain in ”The Legend of the Mermaid” crew, ensuring to replace her role, even if it meant finding someone random at Huan Rui for the job.

But now, regret is futile.

Xu Shaoqing knew well that being caught red-handed as an adulteress with Luo Shaoqun by the reporter meant the media would certainly report extensively.

Su Lingxue’s repeated offenses would provoke anyone with some temper, and given Huo Sining’s style, she might ensure Su Lingxue’s complete ruin.

The entertainment industry changes rapidly, with newbies emerging constantly. Su Lingxue now with a tarnished record is unlikely to recover from this and bounce back.

Sure enough, as Xu Shaoqing predicted, within two hours of the incident’s exposure, major media outlets were competing to report on it.

Su Lingxue’s company, Huan Rui Entertainment, tried hard to downplay the situation but it quickly escalated beyond control, fueled by intentional stirrers.

The Weibo topic evolved from #Su Lingxue being caught in adultery by reporters# rapidly to #Su Lingxue expelled from ”The Legend of the Mermaid” crew# and finally to #Su Lingxue get out of the entertainment industry#.

If it was just hot discussion on Weibo, it might be bearable, but major forums and portals all featured it as entertainment headlines, making it a nationwide topic.

If you think this issue was only about slandering Su Lingxue, you’d be wrong; the scumbag and the slut faced universal condemnation, and topics about Luo Shaoqun were plentiful too.

Numerous grave-digging posts appeared on a gossip forum, unearthing quite a lot of old stories about Luo Shaoqun bullying newcomers in the entertainment industry.

These revelations, lacking solid proof, were never verified or were suppressed by the company Luo Shaoqun was with, so while exposed, they never caused much stir.

But this time, with Su Lingxue’s incident as the catalyst, Luo Shaoqun’s deeds were gradually uncovered.

Some enthusiastic individuals thoroughly investigated all the newcomer female actors bullied by Luo Shaoqun over the years, even creating a comprehensive post.

Once the post appeared, people realized the considerable number of celebrities harmed by Luo Shaoqun.

In a single night, the post went viral not only on the forum but was also shared widely on major portals and Weibo.

Luo Shaoqun’s image as a good husband and caring father crumbled overnight, branded by netizens as a sanctimonious hypocrite.

Things escalated to such an extent that even Zhang Jing, who had retired from the entertainment industry at her career peak, choosing obscurity and being hailed by the media as a virtuous wife, couldn’t hold back and publicly berated Luo Shaoqun, shedding her previously gentle and kind demeanor.

Zhang Jing’s presence was extraordinary; even though she had decisively left the industry years ago, she’s still the passionate, straightforward woman she always was.

Facing Luo Shaoqun’s remorse and admitting mistakes, Zhang Jing candidly expressed that she had been blind, kept in the dark by her husband and stated she trusted the wrong person.

”Wrong is wrong, and to this day, it’s all on you. Back then, I loved you because I believed you could offer me a trusting family and pure love. Now that love isn’t pure, I don’t want it anymore. From now on, the children are mine, love is yours, and we’re completely unrelated!”
