Chapter 172 - Declaration of War
Chapter 172: Declaration of War
[Fang Nanyuan: {Sighing JPG} And I thought entertainment reporters are so awesome nowadays. Turns out Sister Xiang was behind all of this]
[Yun Xiangxiang @ Fang Nanyuan: Don’t do anything rash. You play with fire, you risk getting burned.]
Yun Xiangxiang would never admit to what she did if she did not see Fang Nanyuan’s earlier message.
Hacking into private appliances was a crime, and she invaded a civilian’s privacy. It wasn’t smart to announce it.
She knew the trio too well. She knew Fang Nanyuan was thinking of working with the reporter, judging by what he said.
Profits will always come before connection between actors and entertainment reporters. Even if the reporter was trusted by He Wei, they could not rule out the possibility of the reporters double-crossing them.
Letting someone else have a hold on them was a constant hazard. That was why Yun Xiangxiang did not ask for Ai Li’s help even when her skills were just ordinary.
There are some things that must be done by herself if she could do it. If she could not do it, she would just change her plans. Not asking someone else for help was her policy.
[Wei Shanshan: Who are you trying to set on fire, Nanzi?]
Wei Shanshan finally realized something. No wonder Fang Nanyuan’s attention is on how good this press is in digging up news.
[Fang Nanyuan: You!]
[Wei Shanshan, Come at me, bro]
[Yi Yan: Sansan, you are a woman! Can you be more ladylike?]
[Wei Shanshan: Yo, first day knowing me? This is who I am. Bite me, bro]
Yun Xiangxiang went offline to sleep when the trio started arguing. She was exhausted.
She couldn’t care less about who Fang Nanyuan was trying to set up. If her good friend asked her, she would help them if she could. If they kept quiet, she would not try to seek trouble for herself.
Yun Xiangxiang got out of her bed when she had only slept for a while. Ai Li and Song Qian were in the same suite as she was. The pair was whispering in front of the computer.
“Done?” Yun Xiangxiang stretched her arms as she sat up.
The pair immediately checked the room for hazards after they checked in. Following that, they assembled a temporary safety system.
“Italy is not safer than the US,” Song Qian thought it was completely necessary.
“Enenen, the famous mafia. I heard of it before,” Yun Xiangxiang replied arbitrarily before going to wash herself up.
What do these far away people have anything to do with me?
Yun Xiangxiang, who finished washing up, opened her phone. Song Meng sent another message to her.
Qin Yue’s reaction isn’t slow. She managed to take Chen Junjie for herself in a couple of hours. Chen Junjie actually declared their relationship as lovers.
They swore to sue the press for violation of privacy, but the press was unfazed. Yun Xiangxiang believed that He Wei must have sent the data to the press safely.
What they did was report authentic news that was given to them. They had never invaded their privacy. Naturally, they could stand firm.
Chen Junjie was only bluffing. If the media could report about him and Qin Yue, they must also have his other scandals. He would never drag the press down with him.
“She’s fast enough,” Yun Xiangxiang made something for herself to eat. As she ate, she scrolled through the news.
Qin Yue might have sung different tunes throughout the scandal, but she managed to save her career, albeit barely. Even so, her image was ruined.
There were both pros and cons in this. Qin Yue was finally Chen Junjie’s official girlfriend, after all the time of it being a secret. Even if it would affect her adversely now, there still would be a lot of people supporting her, just to curry Chen Junjie’s favor.
She was the first girlfriend Chen Junjie officially declared after thirty years after all.
[Wei Shanshan: 😡😡😡 That little whore Qin has really done it. She took Chen Junjie for herself so soon]
The group thought Qin Yue would never take Chen Junjie for herself after Yun Xiangxiang’s explanation. Shockingly, this slap in their faces came so fast.
They finally saw Qin Yue trip. Even so, she only sustained heavy injuries instead of dying. Wei Shanshan felt uncomfortable.
[Yun Xiangxiang: It’s still not over yet. Don’t get your knickers in a bunch. Do you see Chen Yinghui declaring any actress as his girlfriend after so many years?]
Chen Yinghui was generous with the famous actresses within the Era of Stars, but none of them became Madam Chen.
Qin Yue must have never met Chen Junjie’s father before taking Chen Junjie in two hours. She still had a long way to go before marrying into a noble family.
She had better pray for Chen Junjie to marry her, or that nobody more attractive to Chen Junjie than her appears before she got to the top.
Or else, if a woman like her, who was labeled as being Chen Junjie’s, was dumped by him, the consequences would be severe….
There are two paths in the entertainment industry. One was to keep themselves pure forever, and if it was the other, they should never lie to themselves, telling themselves that only their partner knew about it.
Dozens of people in their private lives would know once someone slept with someone. A few of them knew how to clean up after themselves. No matter how many they had slept with, they would never be discovered.
There would not be anyone that clung to them, or any loose ends that could not be resolved. Yun Xiangxiang saw numerous cases in her past life.
Of course, half of the people in this industry kept themselves innocent. They were not as horrible as everyone thought they were.
Even so, the entertainment reporters would keep on reporting the worst part of the industry for their readership. That drove the skewed perception the masses had for the industry.
Yun Xiangxiang went to look for He Wei and Lu Jin after chatting with Wei Shanshan. She wanted to go shopping.
Both of them did not rest. When Yun Xiangxiang made her suggestion, they naturally respected the lady’s wishes.
Yun Xiangxiang took the opportunity of today’s off day to purchase gifts as souvenirs for her friends and family.
She would also enjoy authentic Italian cuisine on the way and experience the life of Italians
An unidentified number called her when she was having her meal. Yun Xiangxiang ignored the call when she noticed the number was not in her contacts. The number called her again.
An irritated voice greeted Yun Xiangxiang after she accepted the call, “Yun Xiangxiang, you are the one behind it, aren’t you?”
“Miss Qin, I don’t understand what you are talking about,” Yun Xiangxiang squinted after taking a bite out of her ice cream.
“You win, Yun Xiangxiang. I lost to you this time. But it’s not over between us yet,” Qin Yue threw her facade away. She declared war on Yun Xiangxiang.
While relishing her ice cream, Yun Xiangxiang replied quietly, “Miss Qin, I suggest you remember what I said to you before this clearly.”
Qin Yue did not reply. She hung up.
Yun Xiangxiang quietly blocked this number.
“This young lady’s competitiveness is strong,” Lu Jin saw the news too. He knew who called based on what Yun Xiangxiang said.
“She’s probably been bitten by dogs before. Won’t have the complication of rabies otherwise,” Yun Xiangxiang was not as roundabout as Lu Jin.
The character of Yang Qi in “Caring Love” was supposed to be Qin Yue’s. It was Qin Yue’s fault she missed it, not Yun Xiangxiang.
She clung onto Yun Xiangxiang because “Caring Love” became a massive hit. Qin Yue thought Yun Xiangxiang took away what was supposed to be hers.
It was possible she was thinking that everything Yun Xiangxiang had was supposed to be hers. Yun Xiangxiang should be grateful to her.
She kept on stabbing Yun Xiangxiang in the back, but forbade Yun Xiangxiang from counterattacking. She had a serious case of double standards, as well as narcissism.
Qin Yue’s declaration of war was ignored by Yun Xiangxiang. Yun Xiangxiang continued doing her homework and catching up on textbook knowledge after she returned to the hotel.
