Chapter 316: The Princessâs Domineering Counterattack
It was difficult for everyone to comment. Although the publicity photos released by the production team of âMoon As Frostâ had temporarily stabilized a portion of the fans, there were still some fans who felt that Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuanâs scenes were lowering their standards and consuming their popularity.
Many fans were furious, but Yan Ci had already signed the contract and the production team had already announced it. There was no way to reverse the situation, so everyone could only resign to fate and obediently promote Yan Ciâs new drama.
However, in a fan group, there would always be some especially radical people. As a top-notch celebrity, there were bound to be some extreme fans in the huge fan group.
In their hearts, Yan Ci had always been a male god who was on the level of a high-end Best Actor. To them, it was unacceptable that their male god had suddenly accepted a small production drama.
Furthermore, the female lead who acted in the drama had once stuck to Yan Ci, causing the scandal between Yan Ci and her to be trending on Weibo for three days. Anyone who liked Yan Ci for a longer time would know about this.
These extreme fans naturally would not vent their anger on their idol. Hence, Xia Wanyuan, who was acting with Yan Ci, became their target to vent their anger.
There were some people on Weibo who specialized in selling celebrity schedules to earn money for their fans. Some extreme fans had bought Xia Wanyuanâs advertisement schedule. After knowing that she was filming advertisements for Hays potato chips at the film studio complex, they all went out.
âOkay, you did a great job. Have a rest.â
Today was the closing shoot for the Hays potato chips commercial. Xia Wanyuan was in a good state. Together with the photographer, she had basically completed the overall work.
âMiss Xia, a fan just came over and said that she was giving you a gift. She also gave you water and snacks.â
At that moment, a staff member stepped forward and handed a bottle of water and a bag to Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan had grown up in the royal family in her previous life. Although her parents were very loving and she had never been persecuted since she was young, she had learned all the conspiracy studies that she needed to learn.
Hence, since she was young, she had developed the habit of not drinking and not eating what outsiders gave her. She was very touched by the things her fans sent her and placed them aside.
âWanyuan, you actually have fans to send you things. Not bad. It looks like âThe Long Balladâ did not broadcast for nothing.âChen Yun walked over and looked at the bag. It seemed to be filled with snacks. The fans were quite thoughtful.
âYour fans are so good to you,â the staff added.
Xia Wanyuan smiled. This was the first time she had received a gift from a fan, and she was still a little touched.
âHey, Wanyuan, why is there a piece of black on your dress?â Tang Yin suddenly saw that Xia Wanyuanâs dress was dyed black.
âI probably bumped into the machine beside me just now.â
âLet me wipe it down for you.â As Tang Yin spoke, she took out a tissue and opened the water that the fans had given her. Then, she poured a little of it on the paper and prepared to wipe Xia Wanyuanâs dress.
However, when the water was poured into the paper, Tang Yin frowned and pinched the paper twice. âThereâs something wrong with this water.â
Xia Wanyuan looked at the paper in Tang Yinâs hand. As the water slowly evaporated, the paper towel actually became a hard piece.
Tang Yin poured some mineral water on the ground. After the water evaporated, there was only a piece of glue left.
âThereâs glue in this water!â Tang Yin twisted the water bottle and put it back, her eyes filled with anger. âThis is too much. Fortunately, you didnât drink it. If you did, the consequences would be unimaginable.â
To be able to freeze into glue in such a short period of time, the strength of the glue showed that someone was deliberately trying to harm Xia Wanyuan!!
Chen Yun took the snack bag by the side and opened the small cake. There was a half dead rat inside, and the other half was in an exquisite chocolate box.
Even as a man, Chen Yun felt disgusted by the rat.
Xia Wanyuan looked at this scene and was very calm. âCall the police. Iâll continue filming.â
The rest of the filming work was done very quickly. After Xia Wanyuan finished filming, when she brought Tang Yin and Chen Yun out, there were a few women standing not far away. They were dressed boldly, but their appearances could not be seen with hats on.
Xia Wanyuan glanced over, and those people hurriedly lowered their heads.
âLet me drive.â When they arrived at the car, Xia Wanyuan suddenly stopped Chen Yun. Chen Yun handed her the car keys.
As expected, a black commercial car chased closely behind Xia Wanyuanâs car, sticking very close.
Not far away, there was a very urgent turn. The car behind seemed to be only focused on chasing Xia Wanyuan and did not notice that Xia Wanyuan had suddenly increased her speed, and the car behind her suddenly increased its speed.
When they were about to turn the corner, âHold on tight.â Xia Wanyuan suddenly turned and drifted, moving the car out of the original driveway.
The MPV behind did not react in time and maintained its straight speed. It rushed to the roadside railing and collided with the mountain in front. The front of the car was deformed.
Then, the car door was opened and three young girls hurriedly escaped.
âXia Wanyuan, you bitch. Did you do it on purpose?!!â A red-haired girl ran down and stopped in front of Xia Wanyuanâs car. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Xia Wanyuan.
âWhy are you following me?â Xia Wanyuan had thought that the people following her were sent by Shi Tian. She didnât expect them to be a few immature girls.
Furthermore, the way they looked at her was as if she was their fatherâs enemy. There was strong hatred in their eyes.
Even with Xia Wanyuanâs intelligence, she could not understand why these people were here.
âI followed you and I wanted to tell you a b * tch. Youâre not fit to act with Yan Ci. Who do you think you are? If you dare to continue acting, youâll know whatâs scary!â
Xia Wanyuan finally understood what these young ladies were up to. âYouâre Yan Ciâs anti-fans?â
âBullsh * t! We are true fans of Yan Ciâs brother. We wonât allow you to insult our Yan Ciâs brother!â When the little girl spoke of Yan Ci, her eyes were filled with fanaticism.
âHow can you call yourself a true love fan if you hurt others in the name of liking someone? Then your Brother Yan Ci is quite unlucky to be liked by you.â Xia Wanyuan smiled coldly.
As if she had been poked in the sore spot by Xia Wanyuan, the red-haired girl was furious and almost hysterical. She did not know where her hostility towards Xia Wanyuan came from. âIn short, Iâm warning you. quit the role immediately, or weâll make you die an ugly death.â
âLittle sister, then just wait and see. I definitely wonât quit the role.â Xia Wanyuan looked at the police car that was screaming in the distance and closed the car window under the red-haired ladyâs hateful gaze.
That night, the topic âXia Wanyuan had a conflict with Yan Ciâs fansâ trended on the trending topic and attracted everyoneâs attention.
Chapter 317: Reversal Official Clarification
A marketing account revealed that because of a conflict between Yan Ciâs fanâs car and Xia Wanyuanâs car, Yan Ciâs fan was sent to the police station by Xia Wanyuan.
Then, this marketing account released a photo of Yan Ciâs fanâs car hitting the roadside and deforming.
Fans all had their own group. Even if they did not know each other, as long as everyone was a fan of Yan Ci, they would be more intimate on the Internet than strangers. Many fan groups called each other family.
Seeing that the car had already crashed into the road, the fans who were already fuming because Yan Ci had accepted the script for âMoon As Frostâ and wanted to film with Xia Wanyuan were ignited.
[ Is it a big deal to be a celebrity??? A celebrity can casually bully a plain person? ]
[ Xia Wanyuan, youâre too much. Why? Does your family own the road?? Can you walk while others canât? ]
[ The police station is really funny. How can they arrest people without understanding the situation? Why donât they arrest them together? Why does Xia Wanyuan have special privileges? ]
[ I strongly object to Yan Ci filming with a person like Xia Wanyuan. If Yan Ci doesnât retreat, Iâll immediately stop being a fan. ]
[ Are you fans crazy? I didnât even understand what was going on in your heads. How did you know it was our Yuan Yuanâs fault? ]
[ Get out, Xia Wanyuanâs fans. ]
Even though Xia Wanyuanâs fans argued logically in the comments, the difference in numbers was too great. The comments were practically one-sided criticism.
It had not been easy for Xia Wanyuan to gain the good impression of some passers-by because of the drama âThe Long Balladâ. Now, she was about to lose it because of this conflict.
Star Creation Entertainment discovered the public opinion on the Internet immediately. Now that the companyâs public relations department had been consolidated, it was no longer as chaotic as before.
After understanding the situation, the company was relieved. They waited quietly for public opinion to ferment. When public opinion was about to boil, the company finally made a move.
The new public relations manager was a relatively capable and straightforward person. After he obtained the evidence from the police station, he directly sent it to his subordinates.
âManager, should we post it directly??â His subordinate trembled and asked while suppressing his disgust.
âThatâs right. Send it.â The manager did not feel that anything was wrong.
Then, the major marketing accounts that had cooperative relationships with Star Creation Entertainment received a few scary photos. They subconsciously thought that the anti-fans were threatening them and directly blocked and banned him.
When they reacted, they looked at the name seriously.
Oh my god!!! Itâs not anti-fans!! Itâs a sugar daddy!!!
They hurriedly invited their sugar daddy out of the small black house carefully and sent the photos according to his instructions.
Just as Yan Ciâs fans were unanimously criticizing Xia Wanyuan, the truth about the conflict between Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ciâs fans began to leak.
âIt wasnât Xia Wanyuan who bullied Yan Ciâs fans at all. Look at these. They were all given to Xia Wanyuan by Yan Ciâs fans. Mineral water filled with glue, cake and chocolate with dead rats. Even the collision was caused by these fans who insisted on following Xia Wanyuanâs car. In the end, they crashed into it because their driving skills were too bad.â
It was really amazing for straight men in the police station to take photos. The photos that were already disgusting were taken like horror films, making oneâs heart turn cold.
Chapter 318: A Man Canât Be Jealous
[ Fans nowadays are too scary. ]
[ If I were Xia Wanyuan, I would send her to the police station too. Thatâs too vicious. ]
[ Serves her right. Xia Wanyuan was originally a spicy chicken. She didnât have the ability and still wanted to act with Yan Ci. Nice gift. ]
[ The person in front, I just flipped through your homepage. Youâre only in primary school. Can you not learn how to chase celebrities? Learn your morals first before chasing celebrities! ]
[ Oh my god, I donât even dare to take another look. I donât even dare to imagine how frightened the delicate Yuan Yuan will be when she sees this. My heart aches!!! Cry, cry, cry. ]
Chen Yun expressed: âYour goddess is quite delicate, but sheâs not weak. Itâs even less likely that sheâll be frightened. After all, sheâs a woman who holds a baseball bat and blows someoneâs head open.â
Following that, the police station also came out to make a statement and advise everyone to be rational and chase celebrities and not do anything extreme.
As the young ladies were still underage, the police department released them after criticizing them.
Although the red-haired girl had promised at the police station, she was still very indignant. She was a very active fan with a little less than ten thousand fans in Yan Ciâs fan club. On the day she returned home, she posted a long post on Weibo.
âI just came back and saw that there were many fans who scolded me in the private messages. Although I was punished, I donât think Iâm the shame of the fan industry. I just love my Yan Ci too much. I donât want him to have anything to do with Xia Wanyuan. I donât want his reputation to be tainted at all.â
Many fans criticized her, and at the same time, there were people who supported her.
Yan Ci had just learned of this matter and went online to take a look. He happened to see the comments of this so-called âfanâ. Yan Ci reposted her Weibo directly and wrote, âYouâre hurting others in the name of loving me. If youâre like this, please donât love me.â
After the comments, regardless of the huge waves on the Internet, Yan Ci asked Li Heng for Xia Wanyuanâs number and wanted to apologize to her.
At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was sitting in the garden reading a script while Jun Shiling was busy with work.
Even though Xia Wanyuan had repeatedly emphasized that she was not frightened and did not need anyone to accompany her, Jun Shiling still declined the companyâs work and accompanied Xia Wanyuan in the manor.
The ringtone suddenly rang. Xia Wanyuan saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Because of the extreme fan incident, Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button warily.
âHello.â
âHello, is this Miss Xia?â Yan Ciâs gentle voice came from the phone.
âHello, Mr. Yan.â Xia Wanyuan recognized Yan Ciâs voice. Jun Shiling, who was reading documents, suddenly looked up.
âI asked for your number from Director Li. Iâm really sorry, because my fans have caused you such trouble.â Yan Ciâs tone was very sincere.
âItâs nothing. Iâm not frightened. Theyâve been punished too. Mr. Yan, you donât have to worry.â
âI want to treat you to a meal to calm down. Or if you need anything, tell me. Iâll definitely do what I can.â Yan Ci did not have any other intentions. He knew that Fu Li had taken good care of Xia Wanyuan. Now that he had frightened Xia Wanyuan, he only wanted to compensate her properly.
âThereâs really no need.â
âYou donât have to be polite with me.â
âYou dropped your script,â Jun Shiling suddenly said on the phone, making it impossible for Yan Ci to continue.
They were both men, so how could he not hear the strength in Jun Shilingâs tone? Yan Ci was surprised. Could Xia Wanyuan have a boyfriend?
âThen, Miss Xia, youâre busy. If thereâs anything you need help with, Iâll definitely help you as long as you ask.â
âOkay, thank you.â
After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan glanced at the script in her lap, then looked at Jun Shiling. âIt fell?â
ââ¦â It was rare for Jun Shiling to not reply.
Xia Wanyuan did not probe further and continued to read the script, ignoring Jun Shiling.
Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuanâs side profile, his heart pounding.
If I was always jealous, would Xia Wanyuan think that I am very petty?
Even though Jun Shilingâs intelligence was outstanding, this was the first time he had experienced love.
Thinking of Xia Wanyuanâs reaction just now, Jun Shiling felt that it was the first time he could not continue reading the documents. He took the phone by the side.
For the first time in his life, he used a search engine to search for a problem that had nothing to do with work.
âMen are always jealous.â Before he could finish her question, a pile of answers had already appeared.
âItâs not a good habit for men to be jealous.â
âMen always look very ungentlemanly when theyâre jealous.â
âA manâs jealousy will make a woman despise you more and more.â
Jun Shiling: â¦
Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had been reading the script and not speaking, Jun Shiling found a topic. âWas it a colleague who called just now?â
âThatâs right.â Xia Wanyuan nodded as she read the script.
âWhy did he call?â
âHe wants to treat me to a meal.â Once Xia Wanyuan said this, she could guess what Jun Shilingâs expression would be.
However, to her surprise, Jun Shilingâs expression remained calm. âItâs only right for colleagues to have a meal together to improve their relationship. Is the production team going together?â
âIt should be just me and him,â Xia Wanyuan glanced at Jun Shiling and said leisurely.
The corners of Jun Shilingâs lips curled up slightly. âThatâs pretty good.â
Xia Wanyuan felt that it was a little strange and felt like teasing him. âMm, then Iâll tell him later that I want to eat again.â
âOh,â Jun Shiling replied calmly and continued to read the document. However, the page number stopped on the first page for a long time.
After reading the script, Xia Wanyuan was about to get some fruits to eat. Just as she stood up, Jun Shiling stood up. âAre you going out?â
Xia Wanyuan nodded. âMm, Iâm going out to eat with Yan Ci.â
âOh.â Jun Shiling clearly wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed it and only said âohâ.
Xia Wanyuan turned around and left. Behind her, Jun Shilingâs expression immediately turned vexed. However, he didnât expect Xia Wanyuan to suddenly turn around halfway and see Jun Shilingâs conflicted and vexed expression.
For some reason, it was a little cute. Xia Wanyuan found it funny.
Jun Shiling had made all sorts of mental preparations, but he still could not convince himself to watch Xia Wanyuan eat with someone else. However, he had already said what he wanted to say, and he could not go back on his word. Jun Shiling felt as if an entire yellow string had grown in his heart.
When he entered the main building in frustration, he realized that Xia Wanyuan, who had said she was going out for dinner, was lying on the sofa watching television. âArenât you going to eat?â
âI was lying. I was afraid that you would be jealous when you came back after dinner.â
Jun Shiling was not angry at all when Xia Wanyuan said that he was jealous. The frustration on his face was gone.
That search app is not good. I should let Lin Jing buy it and redo it another day. What magnanimous or not? Let my wife stay by my side properly.
After dinner, an unknown number came again. This time, it was not an apology call, but a real provocation and a declaration of war.
Chapter 319: Wei Zimu Invites to Dinner
Hearing the arrogant and arrogant voice on the phone, Xia Wanyuan felt that she should change her phone number. Why did these people always call me?
âLet me tell youâ¦â Wei Yu was halfway through her sentence when Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Wei Yu could not believe it.
How could such a small actress be so arrogant?
âHmph, itâs better if you donât come. Anyway, you hung up first.â Wei Yu switched off his phone and ran to see Old Madam Wei.
âGrandma, that Xia Wanyuan doesnât care about our Wei family at all. I told her that you wanted to see her, so she hung up the phone directly.â
âMm.â Old Madam Wei had a head of silver hair. Time had carved traces of wind and frost on her face. At this moment, one could not tell if she was happy or angry. âYou can go back first.â
âOkay, Grandma.â
Not long after Wei Yu left, Wei Zimu arrived at Old Madam Wei.
âGrandma.â Wei Zimu bowed to the Old Madam politely. The Old Madam looked at the child she admired the most with a gentle expression.
âZimu, look for that child Xia Wanyuan and bring her here. I want to see her.â
âOkay, Grandma.â Wei Zimu bowed and left.
Even though it was just his back view, it made people feel the clear breeze and moon in his heart.
Old Madam Wei nodded slightly from behind. She had been holding on to her old bones until now and had finally seen a few useful talents among the younger generation of the Wei family.
ââ
It was the third time in a day that she had received an unknown number. Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. She could not be bothered to argue with a childish person like Wei Yu, but she did not want to hear her nagging.
However, not long after, a message appeared on her phone. âSister Wanyuan, itâs me. If itâs convenient for you, can you call me back?âWei Zimu.â
Wei Zimu? Xia Wanyuan had a good impression of this person. Xia Wanyuan couldnât explain where this intuition came from, but there was an extremely firm warmth from Wei Zimu.
After reading the message, Xia Wanyuan called Wei Zimu.
âSister Wanyuan, can I treat you to a meal? I have something to discuss with you.â Wei Zimu gently and directly revealed the reason for his call. Xia Wanyuan could not reject him.
âSure. When and where?â
After discussing the venue for the meal with Wei Zimu, Xia Wanyuan packed up briefly and prepared to leave.
âWhere are you going?â Jun Shilingâs heart that had been at ease rose again.
âWei Zimu wants to talk to me about something. Weâre going out for a meal.â Xia Wanyuan carried her bag and prepared to go out. âI wonât be back for dinner tonight.â
âGot it.â Jun Shiling recalled that Wei Zimu kept calling her sister Wanyuan. He did not want Xia Wanyuan to meet him, but he did not have the right to prevent Xia Wanyuan from going out to meet anyone. He could only suppress the jealousy in his heart.
When Xia Wanyuan walked to the door, she suddenly turned around as if she had thought of something. She saw Jun Shiling looking at her with deep eyes. âCome and pick me up after I eat?â
Jun Shilingâs deep eyes instantly lit up. âOkay.â
When they arrived at the agreed restaurant, Wei Zimu was already waiting there.
âSister Wanyuan.â Wei Zimu smiled gently.
âHello.â Xia Wanyuan did not address him as Brother, and Wei Zimu did not look angry at all. He considerately pulled out a stool for Xia Wanyuan.
âYou said you needed me for something. Whatâs the matter?â
âItâs about your mother.â
Chapter 320: Sacrificing Her Life
âWho killed him?â
In the original owner of the bodyâs memory, her mother had died of illness. However, Xia Wanyuan could tell from Wei Zimuâs words that there must have been another reason for the original ownerâs motherâs death.
âSister Wanyuan, I can only say that your motherâs health has been pretty good since she was young. She doesnât have a foundation for heart disease, but her autopsy results show a heart attack.â
âSo? Why are you telling me this?â
âOld Madam wants to see you. Wei Yu has already looked for you.â Wei Zimu handed the chopsticks to Xia Wanyuan.
From what he said, Xia Wanyuan understood his intentions. If Wei Zimu did not mention the original ownerâs mother, Xia Wanyuan would not be very interested in going to the Wei family. However, from what he said, Xia Wanyuan should make a trip even if it was to help the original ownerâs mother uncover the truth.
âYes, I will.â
âSister Wanyuan, donât worry. Iâll accompany you.â Wei Zimu smiled at Xia Wanyuan with tolerance and encouragement. âLetâs eat first.â
Only then did Xia Wanyuan lower her head to look at the food on the table.
They were all the tastes that the original owner of the body liked.
Xia Wanyuanâs chopsticks paused for a moment, then she ate as usual. In the eyes of others, there was nothing strange.
âThe weather is hot. I made this fan myself. I heard that you guys have worked hard filming. This is for you, so you can have some wind on set.â
After dinner, Wei Zimu took out the fan from the box beside him. The fan that was shining with a dark purple glow was actually cold. Wei Zimu was really considerate.
âIf I remember correctly, this is the second time weâve met. This gift is a little expensive.â Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled.
Unlike others, she did not feel any discomfort from Wei Zimuâs solicitude. Everything about Wei Zimu seemed extremely sincere, and the care and tolerance in his eyes did not seem to be fake.
This made her even more confused. Xia Wanyuan had never had any dealings with the Wei family before, let alone Wei Zimu. Why was Wei Zimu so good to me?
âItâs not expensive. I really treat you as a sister. Accept my kind intentions.â Wei Zimu placed the fan in the box and handed it to Xia Wanyuan, who reached out to receive it.
âThank you,â
âYouâre welcome. Sister Wanyuan, you can look for me if you need anything. As long as I can help, Iâll do anything to help, even if it costs my life.â Seeing Xia Wanyuan accept the fan, a sincere smile appeared in Wei Zimuâs eyes.
âOkay, then Iâll get going.â Xia Wanyuan nodded and left the dining room under Wei Zimuâs gaze.
As soon as she turned around, Xia Wanyuanâs brows furrowed even more tightly. Wei Zimu had just used the phrase âeven if it costs my lifeâ. Wei Zimu was not a person who had never attended school and abused idioms.
It was impossible for him not to understand the significance of those words.
Xia Wanyuan felt that she could not see through him. Wei Zimu was too good to her, and from the looks of it, this kind of good had no purpose.
It seemed that there was a need to visit the Wei family.
Xia Wanyuan put on her mask and sunglasses and walked out of the restaurant. At the entrance, the Phantom, who had stopped here unknowingly, saw Xia Wanyuan come out. He flashed the car lights twice and Xia Wanyuan walked over.
âWhen did you get here?â Xia Wanyuan sat in. Jun Shiling was waiting inside.
âAn hour ago.â
ââ¦â Xia Wanyuan was silent. âIsnât that when I first entered the restaurant?â
