A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 282 - 278: It Really Was Her

Shi Yunyin stood on the stage, initially unaware of what had happened, until she grabbed the phone from the host beside her and saw those three photos.

She stared at the screen in disbelief, gripping the phone tightly.

These medical records... her mother had long ago arranged for someone to destroy them at the hospital, so they couldn’t possibly be retrieved now.

Unless, five years ago, before they were destroyed, Shi Su had already arranged for someone to retrieve them.

Five years ago...

Shi Su had already set everything up five years ago?

Shi Su?

Shi Su?!!!

Shi Yunyin looked at Shi Su as if she were seeing her for the first time, her face ashen, her hand trembling as she held the phone.

Below the stage, Shi Yunyin’s manager no longer knew what to do. She was a well-known tough manager in the industry, having helped Shi Yunyin tear down one A-list actress after another without fear.

But now, in the face of all this, she was powerless to change anything.

—If the person exposing everything now were not Shi Su, but a nobody with no fame, no work, and even poor dancing skills, or just an amateur, there might still be a chance to salvage the situation.

But Shi Su was recently a hot topic in the industry, and although her recent topics were all about plagiarism, all were negative topics.

Yet one had to admit, during these days of being insulted in silence, Shi Su had successfully drawn everyone’s attention over, catching everyone off guard.

The insults and dirty water poured onto Shi Su now seemed to boil over, pouring onto Shi Yunyin.

Scalding and terrifying, with no place to hide.

On stage stood still the host, Shi Su, and Shi Yunyin.

But today, this lively live reality show scene had already completely changed.

"A few months ago, you disdainfully asked me why I wanted to enter the entertainment industry," Shi Su’s cold voice echoed clearly on site and in the live broadcast room: "Because I want to fight for my right to speak. You are the Best Actress, you are the recognized Shi Yunyin by everyone, you are the glamorous star, you have all the protection, you post a random expression on Weibo and there are tens of thousands of comments. And I, a nobody behind the scenes, even if I make all this public, how many people will see it? Even if they do, how many will believe it? I have no right to speak, I have no platform to speak from, any word I say will be drowned in your fans’ saliva, I don’t even have a chance to struggle before being labeled a nobody trying to ride your coattails."

"Everyone craves to enter the Vanity Fair because as long as you stand at a certain height within it, any casual word you say will be followed by everyone. You will have countless fans supporting you like worshippers, attacking anyone they think may harm you, even if the other party is speaking the truth, they will be attacked until there’s nothing left."

Shi Su’s voice was soft and light, yet clear enough to be heard unmistakably.

Seeing Shi Yunyin’s face had turned ashen and she hadn’t said a word for a long time.

Shi Su asked her: "Didn’t you want evidence? Ask and you shall receive, as you wished. Actually, you could have just said that even if you injured your leg five years ago, you persisted in dancing because you love your career."

Shi Yunyin bit her lower lip hard, still not speaking.

Shi Su was digging a pit for her.

If she said that, the next step would be to make her prove that she can dance even with a leg injury, just by dancing that dance again in front of everyone now.

But how could she dance?

She simply couldn’t.

Weibo was particularly lively again now.

The usually inactive old director of Chi Xiao suddenly posted a few short words: [To us, the cuckoo has truly taken over the nest.]

Back then, Shi Yunyin’s acting was actually very raw, and the director didn’t really like her performance style. However, because Shi Yunyin played a dancing girl in that film, requiring many dark-toned scenes, the dim lighting was able to cover up some of the lifelessness in her eyes. Later, it was also because of that dance that they saw her differently. The entire crew was particularly patient with her during the next two months of filming, waiting through her takes until she got it right. The final presented acting and effect were actually quite good.

Who could have thought there was another story behind it?

It really is sigh-inducing.

A very famous photographer in the industry then also posted on Weibo: [My father is retired now, but he once worked as a lighting engineer for Chi Xiao. He just called to say that five years ago, he was the only one who went behind the curtain. He was busy adjusting lights, so he didn’t pay much attention. But when he looked back, he saw the lead actress with her face turned away, and he was puzzled at the time, feeling like she had changed into a different person. He thought it might be a makeup issue that day, but seeing the live broadcast clip of Shi Su now, my father told me surely that the girl dancing behind the curtain back then was indeed her.]

So-called collapse, nothing more than that.

At this moment, there were no investors or sponsors Shi Yunyin thought she could rely on stepping forward to speak for her.

All the backings she believed in seemed to vanish completely.

Today, Jun’s reaction was quick, backstage confirming the next plan with the studio. Shi Su Studio’s Weibo immediately sent out a responsibility letter—

[1. Please the "Chi Xiao" movie team and the film festival committee that awarded it five years ago to re-examine the leading actress footage of that time, and we hope the film team can provide all the original footage of the dance shoot as evidence. 2. The network is not a lawless place, stop spreading malicious defamation against Ms. Shi Su. We request the fans who have participated in cyberbullying Ms. Shi Su to apologize, this letter is not a warning, we will gradually tally up accounts involved in personal attacks and malicious insults recently, if an apology is not made within the corresponding time, we will pursue accountability to the end.]

The audience in the live broadcast barrage all marveled, today’s live broadcast was truly worth watching, becoming more and more exciting, it was overwhelming.

Just when everyone thought that after Shi Su’s astonishing revelations, today’s excitement should have been pretty much shown.

The Four Seas Entertainment official account suddenly reposted Shi Su Studio’s Weibo, and added the words: [Support defending rights.]

Then, the Four Seas Entertainment official account posted another apology statement, mentioning the dance substitution incident involving Shi Su back in the day, claiming that their company also bore inescapable responsibility for that matter. Four Seas Entertainment apologized to Shi Su, Yi City apologized to Shi Su, and promised full cooperation with Shi Su’s rights protection, if needed, readily available.

Then, Jiang Jing Ru Hua’s official blog also came over to insert a foot, liking Four Seas Entertainment’s apology Weibo.

The sarcasm was very obvious, full of gunpowder.

Shi Yunyin had already gone backstage, no longer standing on stage for people to stare at, her manager, assistant, and bodyguard were nowhere to be found, Shi Yunyin couldn’t even find the clothes she wore before going on stage, angrily scolding the backstage staff as useless, no one paid her any attention.

Shi Su subsequently stepped off the stage, on the contrary, everyone hurriedly surrounded her.

Seeing Shi Yunyin with a sullen face because she couldn’t find her clothes, Shi Su turned her eyes to her, and coldly raised her brows.

Shi Yunyin stared back with hatred, glaring intensely in Shi Su’s direction.

Shi Su, however, did not avoid her gaze, and when Jun came over to drape a coat over her, she calmly looked in Shi Yunyin’s direction, mouthing slowly: "You, lost."
