People even found out that Ye Xin had a fiery temper and had once hit her manager and assistant during the opening ceremony of the film festival. There were also ‘insiders’ who revealed Ye Xin used her family background to bully her colleagues in the company and was extremely harsh to the staff in the company. It was also said that her manager and assistant often had to pay out of their own pockets to buy favors from her colleagues.
Needless to say, this attracted another wave of ridicule and hate; how could such a wealthy young miss be so miserly?
Many people sympathized with Ye Xin’s manager and assistant. They left messages on Ye Xin’s manager and assistant’s social media accounts, urging them to leave Ye Xin as soon as possible.
Every day a large number of people would curse Ye Xin on her social media accounts, even her company’s official account was not spared. Most of the comments demanded she leaves the entertainment industry.
Ye Xin now was embroiled in one of the biggest and unprecedented scandals in the entertainment industry because of this issue.
Previously, Ye Xin had been happily spending the days before the new year and the new year at home. Her mood was even better when she heard about the troubles in the Mu family. Her days were leisurely; she thought she had all the time in the world to seek revenge.
Ye Xin wanted to wait for her drama to air and seize the opportunity to participate in various variety shows. She was sure endorsements would come pouring in as well. At that time, she would definitely trample on Song Ning.
Although Song Ning had made it clear she had no intentions of returning to the entertainment industry, Ye Xin did not believe it. In her opinion, if Song Ning had no intentions of returning to the entertainment industry, Song Ning would not have appeared during the film festival in such an ostentatious manner.
Ye Xin, who felt Song Ning had made a joke out of her, was determined to seek revenge. However, currently, she was dumbfounded. She did not understand what was going on? Why was everyone hating on her? Moreover, it seemed to happen overnight.
When she was filming the drama, no one from the production team said her acting was bad. If she was as terrible as the netizen said, the director would have and should have said something at that time. Although she had conflicts with other actresses and minor scandals, it was impossible for her to garner so much hate. She really could not understand what was going on and how so much bad luck had landed on her just like that.
In the end, she could only hole up at home, unable to go anywhere, due to the reporters camping outside of her house.
She felt like she was on the verge of breaking down and could only vent her anger on inanimate objects.
Her father kept sighing while her brother remained silent.
With this, she became even more desperate and angry. In the end, when she was exhausted, she fell to her knees and began to wail loudly.
Needless to say, Gao Wen was incredibly distressed upon seeing this. She hugged her crying daughter as she scolded her husband and son. “Are both of you dead? Can’t you think of a way to deal with this matter? Xinxin is so upset, and yet, you’re both so indifferent? Are your hearts made of stone? Don’t your hearts ache?”
Ye He and Ye Cheng were scolded for no reason, but they only remained silent. What could they say at this time?
In the end, after hesitating for a long time, Ye He said tentatively, “Xinxin, what’s so good about being an actress? It’s below you. Why don’t you quit? Why are you so upset? It’s not a big deal. Don’t cry. Why don’t your mother and I accompany you to Europe? When we return, I’m sure the dust would’ve settled. Let’s go on a vacation for a few months and enjoy ourselves. Everything will be fine when we return. You’re the Eldest Young Miss of the Ye family; what do you have to be afraid of? What’s so great about the title of best actress? It’s worthless, and you don’t need it…”
Ye Xin paused for a moment and glared at her father before she said, “No, I don’t want to go anywhere!”
Following that, she began to wail again.
Ye He was so frightened by his daughter’s reaction that he instinctively turned to look at his son. He spread his hands and shrugged, showing his helplessness.
Ye Cheng looked up. He never had high expectations for his father. His father had lived a carefree and unrestrained life since he was young until now. It was a classic case of an idle rich man. His father had an unlimited amount of money to spend and enjoy the pleasures of life. The only saving grace about his father was, perhaps, his ability to coax his mother and sometimes his daughter despite having many affairs outside. For everything else, his father relied on him.
Ye Cheng could not even remember when his father began to push all his responsibilities to him. When he began to show potential, his father was even more unscrupulous in pushing his responsibilities to him.
Ye He was not worried his son, who had just come of age, would ruin the family business. After all, the inheritance left to him was enough for him to live luxuriously for the rest of his life. Therefore, even if his son ran the company to the ground, it was his son’s problem, not his. He definitely lived a happy and carefree life.
Ye Cheng sighed as he looked at his sister who was crying non-stop. Finally, he rose to his feet and moved to her side before saying, “When you’re done crying, look for me in the study.”
Ye Cheng did not care if his sister heard him or not, but his mother, who was hovering at the side, must have heard him. He rubbed his temples as he walked to the study. How troublesome!
He could not help but lament how lucky some people were. Look at Mu Chen, for example. All the good things in the world would easily fall into his lap. Even his wife, Song Ning, was lucky. She did not need to do anything, but her reputation was overwhelmingly good. As for his sister, she spent so much effort scheming but ended up benefiting another person. He shook his head thinking that life was really filled with ups and downs..
