A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 572: Ban!
A speck of rat droppings ruins the whole pot of porridge.
This was Song Cheng’an’s comment on Li Xinyue. He was speechless about people shamelessly riding on the coattails of fame.
He previously didn’t bother with her because it wasn’t worth the effort. Did she really think they were weak and cowardly?
The night Li Xinyue revealed information about Mu Yan, a marketing account exposed the relationship between Li Xinyue and Mu Yan.
StarStarSpark: A certain newcomer singer has been jumping around eagerly lately, selling the "best friends" image without shame or guilt. Grasping onto Mu Yan’s kind heart, she frequently rides on her popularity, even twisting the facts to achieve her goals. Isn’t she afraid of divine retribution? If she’s truly close with Mu Yan, why doesn’t Mu Yan follow her on Weibo? Like Qin Xi and Lin Jiamu, who Mu Yan not only follows but often retweets their posts.
After such exposure, some netizens specifically went to browse Mu Yan’s Weibo and discovered she didn’t follow Li Xinyue at all.
Moreover, Mu Yan hadn’t retweeted any of the posts where Li Xinyue interacted with her.
This made their relationship rather intriguing, seeming like it’s always been Li Xinyue making all the noise alone.
Their popularity couldn’t be more different, with Mu Yan in the sky and Li Xinyue on the ground.
Ride-along incidents are plenty in the entertainment industry, and Li Xinyue’s intentions couldn’t be more obvious.
Someone rewatched the latest episode of "Extreme Speed" and noticed that, despite Li Xinyue’s attempts to get close to Mu Yan, Mu Yan treated her no differently from others, possibly even closer to others.
It wasn’t the first time Li Xinyue attempted to ride on Mu Yan’s popularity; it had been exposed before but ended inconclusively.
After a blatant attempt like this to exploit someone’s fame, how big-hearted would Mu Yan have to be to consider such a person a best friend?
Thus, the best-friend relationship between Li Xinyue and Mu Yan seemed untenable.
However, Li Xinyue wasn’t worried. She didn’t truly want to be Mu Yan’s best friend; she just wanted the popularity.
She understood very well the pain of being unnoticed, so even if she received criticism instead of praise, she was still satisfied.
As long as there’s buzz, there will be attention. Shows will invite her, and she’ll earn money.
But she didn’t expect to hit a brick wall this time, and her past luck had run out.
Before long, another piece of information surfaced online.
The marketing account alleging Mu Yan was assaulted had been instructed by someone to smear her, though the instigator’s identity wasn’t revealed.
But shortly after, former neighbors who lived with Mu Yan came forward to clear up this misunderstanding.
The rumors were dispelled, and Li Xinyue’s attempts to slander and ride on someone’s popularity were confirmed.
The internet was ablaze with anger, almost cursing Li Xinyue’s ancestors to the eighteenth generation.
"Damn, I’ve seen shameless people, but never someone this shameless. Slandering others like this, did a dog eat your conscience?"
"Not only did you ride on someone else’s fame, but you also slandered them. Is this what the entertainment industry produces, garbage like this?"
"You’re such a vile mouth. Acting all vicious, how did your parents produce such a shameless being like you?"
...
Public opinion was unanimously against her. No one cared about the truth of Mu Yan being assaulted; they all went to attack Li Xinyue.
Li Xinyue anticipated some blame, but she hadn’t expected so many people hurling insults at her from all angles.
She immediately posted a Weibo to defend herself.
Li Xinyue V: I never said Mu Yan was assaulted; I was just making a comparison, please don’t misunderstand. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
She thought this explanation would settle things, but netizens weren’t fools and couldn’t be tricked by her; the insults grew even louder.
Seeing that her explanation was ineffective, Li Xinyue angrily turned off Weibo comments.
She assumed that not watching or listening would solve the issue, but the next day, she received a notice from her agency that all her activities were canceled, and she was banned!
