Chapter 855: Scam Artists are Not Cute! (23)
The scandal surrounding Yin Baobao exploded when Shi Sheng had someone leak her secrets, including the fact that the songs she claimed to have written for An Chen were actually plagiarized.
Adding fuel to the fire was a self-incriminating video of Yin Baobao.
Her fans couldn’t contain the tidal wave of vitriolic backlash.
Captain Hong watched the video and was almost certain that Shi Sheng was involved; after all, that video had never been publicly released and was only accessible to people within the department.
But knowing was one thing; proving it was another.
Guesses couldn’t serve as evidence.
It was like watching her commit a murder right before your eyes but being unable to provide any proof, making you question if it was all a hallucination.
If Shi Sheng had to sum it up, it would be one sentence—
“I love how you hate me but can’t do a damn thing about it!”
With Yin Baobao out of the picture, all that was left for Shi Sheng was to break up the CP.
【Host, there’s no need for you to break up the CP! No need! No need! No need!】
#MyHostAlwaysWantsToBreakUpCouples,IsThereACure?#
Shi Sheng seemed to hear the system’s icy electronic voice growing sharper.
“What kind of true love can be broken up so easily?” Shi Sheng sneered.
The system almost burst into tears.
【Do you think you and Feng Ci are true love?】
“Can you separate us?”
【…】'Apparently not.'
Though the host sometimes treated Feng Ci poorly, she mostly cared deeply for him, spoiling him to no end and never doubting him.
Whenever she wanted to know something, she would either ask directly or investigate herself.
As for Feng Ci, he was completely devoted, ready to die at her command—provided she died with him.
'What kind of bizarre couple is this?'
'Master, come quickly, there's a psychopath here!'
'Wait…'
'The question I just asked wasn't the same as the one the host answered!'
Song Mo, being the female lead, had been working as An Chen’s assistant. When An Chen rushed abroad, he didn’t take Song Mo with him.
So now, Song Mo was working as an assistant for another singer.
Shi Sheng saw her at an award ceremony, and as the official girlfriend of Xia Ling, she had every right to attend.
Song Mo wore a small dress and stood behind the singer, a proper smile on her face.
Shi Sheng noticed she didn’t need to break them up at all; the chemistry between Song Mo and that singer was already quite evident.
“Cold?” Xia Ling lowered his head slightly to ask Shi Sheng.
Having just come in from outside, it was a bit chilly, but after standing inside for a while, she no longer felt it.
Shi Sheng withdrew her gaze and shook her head. “Not cold.”
Xia Ling adjusted the shawl on her shoulders, the watch on his wrist catching the light brilliantly. His expression was serious and tender as he arranged the shawl for her. It was a scene brimming with romance.
“Xia Ling… it’s Xia Ling…”
“And that must be Xia Ling’s girlfriend, Bu Meng? She’s so cute, why is she named Bu Meng?”
“So Xia Ling likes this type.”
After sharing this sweet moment, Xia Ling led Shi Sheng towards their seats.
When they reached their designated seats, Xia Ling’s face suddenly darkened.
Following his gaze, Shi Sheng saw An Chen and Cui Liangye.
The two were engaged in a low conversation, seemingly quite harmonious.
An Chen had returned from abroad?
Well, it had been a while; if he hadn’t come back soon, the newcomers would’ve taken over his market.
Cui Liangye noticed Xia Ling first and said something to An Chen, who then looked over as well.
He gave a slight nod as a form of greeting, his eyes showing a mix of emotions.
“Xia Ling.” Cui Liangye stood up. “We get to sit together again.”
Shi Sheng scrutinized Cui Liangye.
‘Could this man be that retard Mu Bai?’
Among the things Yin Baobao did, none had included the breakup SHINE.
Shi Sheng couldn’t get a solid feel of the situation. ‘Should I use my sword to feel it out and just try hacking away?’[1]
After all, Mu Bai, when faced with defeat, would kill himself instantly.
As Shi Sheng considered the feasibility of this, Cui Liangye walked over. “Xia Ling always brings his little girlfriend, making us envious. We used to say you’d be the last to find someone, but now you’re ahead.”
Cui Liangye’s attitude was natural; Shi Sheng couldn’t read anything from his expression.
Recalling how Mu Bai had used He Qing’s body last time, it was clear he hadn’t controlled his emotions well when facing her.
‘Is this guy not Mu Bai?’
‘Or has he leveled up?’
“What’s it to you?” Xia Ling’s tone was as cold as ever.
“Xia Ling,” Cui Liangye seemed helpless. “Neither An Chen nor I blame you, so why…”
Xia Ling’s eyes turned icy, the surrounding air seeming to freeze. If not for Shi Sheng’s presence, he would have wanted to hit someone.
An Chen suddenly spoke. “Liangye, he never admits he’s wrong. He was like this before, and he’s still like this now. What’s the point of talking to him?”
A cold smirk played on Xia Ling’s lips, a glacial light emanating from his eyes.
Cui Liangye looked troubled, glancing around uncertainly.
People nearby began to point and whisper, watching the drama unfold.
The once-glorious SHINE, reunited after two years of disbandment, in such a tense atmosphere.
It seemed the online rumors were true.
Xia Ling had indeed betrayed SHINE.
More people started pointing fingers at Xia Ling, though most refrained from saying anything too harsh due to his status.
“Let’s go.” Xia Ling held back his urge to hit someone, pulling Shi Sheng away.
He had no desire to attend such events, preferring to stay home with his beloved.
“Why leave now?” Shi Sheng tugged at him, blinking mischievously. “Watch me show off.”
Xia Ling frowned slightly; he didn’t want to sit with those two.
An Chen evidently felt the same and called for a staff member to change seats.
“I’m sorry, Mr. An, but these seats can’t be changed now…” The staff member was apologetic.
Seats were pre-arranged; how could they be swapped on a whim?
Shi Sheng glanced at the annoyed An Chen, then led Xia Ling to the front-row VIP seats.
The staff tried to stop them, but Shi Sheng called out to someone. “Master.”
A middle-aged man in a suit, sitting in the VIP area with his eyes closed, slowly opened them and looked over at her.
Though handsome, his stern expression made him look like a school principal.
“Who’s that?”
“Not sure, someone with Master Yan.”
“Did Bu Meng just call him Master? What kind of relationship is that…?”
The principal… Pei! The master sternly observed Shi Sheng for a few seconds, then whispered something to the elderly man beside him. The elderly man’s assistant promptly invited them over.
No one dared to speak now.
Master Yan held considerable influence in the industry; offending him would mean no good days ahead.
