This was also the problem that Xu Yini was thinking about.
Her chest was heaving up and down, and her lips were tightly pursed.
There were many dirty things within the entertainment circle, and very few people truly did not have any dirt at all. It all depended on whether it was exposed or not.
For Xu Yini, with backing from the Xu family, very few people dared to offend her, and her path to stardom had been smooth.
She could easily obtain resources that other people could not even fight over.
The big shots that other people needed to smile, drink, and curry favor with had all been dwarfed by her, and they had to behave politely to her.
Even if something was captured on camera, the media would not dare to offend the Xu family easily, and they would keep it under wraps.
Who knew–
Mei Li’s expression was not good.
“Before this company exposed the news, they didn’t contact our people.”
Naturally, Xu Yini understood what she meant.
Abig part of the paparazzi’s income was to use all sorts of dirt that they had captured to blackmail the artistes.
If the price was settled, the news would not be leaked.
If it was not settled, then they would fight to the death.
This time, however, they had not informed them in advance. Instead, the news had directly been released.
There was no other possibility other than that someone was intentionally targeting them.
“Could it be that a few of your rivals have joined forces? For example, Zhang Zitong…” Mei Li said before shaking her head. “That doesn’t make sense. They would not be so bold, right?”
There were many people who could not stand Xu Yini, especially other starlets, who were in competition with her.
‘Whether openly or secretly, there was no shortage of rivals.
However, this time it was different.
It was obvious that someone wanted to completely ruin Xu Yini’s career as a star!
Acting like a diva was actually very common in this circle. Honestly speaking, it was not a heinous crime.
However, the key was that this person was Xu Yini.
‘With how well her reputation had been established and how many fans she had gained, the collapse of her image this time would cause her to face double the backlash!
Suddenly, Xu Yini’s heart skipped a beat.
She was being attacked so decisively and ruthlessly, not leaving her any way out…
Other than Lu Huaiyu, who else could it be?!

‘As soon as this thought surfaced, her heart instantly turned cold.
Her strength seemed to drain away from her body as she slumped on the sofa.
If it really was Lu Huaiyu… If it really was Lu Huaiyu!
Mei Li opened Weibo again.
Within a short period of time, the hashtag #Xu Yini acting like a diva# had already risen to the top of the trending searches.
And because the content of the video was too explosive, the response was extremely great, and its popularity was still rising.
She walked to the side and began to make a call.
“Hello? Director Zhang? Hello, this is Mei Li…”
The person on the other end quickly hung up.
Mei Li gritted her teeth and switched to someone else.
However, even after making a few calls, she still could not find a solution.
The other party’s attitude was either to avoid or to directly refuse, saying that they could not help.
Mei Li gradually realized something.
Finally, she turned around and saw Xu Yini sitting there stiffly, the expression on her face…
Her lips moved.
“Yini, this time it’s…”
Xu Yini’s answer was actually not important anymore.
Given the current situation, how could she not guess it?
The room was dead silent.
After a long while, Mei Li could not help but say, “Yini, I told you a long time ago that you should restrain your temper. How are you going to deal with the situation now?!”
Xu Yini dug her fingernails into the palms of her hands.
She suddenly stood up.
“L really would not have thought that Xu Yini had such a bad temper…”
He Xiaochen muttered with a shocked expression on her face.
“She actually threw the porridge onto her face! That little assistant ran back and forth so many times, yet she was still not satisfied? Isn’t this deliberate torture?”
Ning Li returned her phone to her and began to serve the dishes.
“Should I put the meat roll in the spicy pot or the tomato pot?”
He Xiaochen subconsciously said, “Tomato!”
Ning Li nodded and helped her put half of it in the pot.
He Xiaochen was still lost in her thoughts.
“I didn’t like her before and always felt that she was a little pretentious, but I didn’t expect her to be such a person. This kind of rich young miss has everything, so why is she still so angry? It’s not easy for that little assistant to earn money…”
Ning Li took a bite of the meat.
He Xiaochen caught a glimpse of it and quickly said, “Save some for me! I’ll eat it with ketchup!”
Ning Li left the last few pieces for her and handed them to her.
He Xiaochen ate it while muttering, “Sigh, this kind of person with a rich background is always more powerful. Little Brother doesn’t have a backer, so it must be hard for him…”
Ning Li paused and said, “He has always reported the good news to me, but not bad news.”
During his two years abroad, although she had sent him money every month, he had never been willing to spend more.
The life of a trainee was hard to begin with, and he had always worked harder than others. It was not hard to imagine how much suffering he had endured.
When He Xiaochen heard this, her movements slowed down, and a hint of heartache appeared on her face. Even the hotpot did not seem as fragrant as before.
The comers of Ning Li’s lips curved slightly.
“Don’t worry. Isn’t he doing quite well now? This concert has always been his dream.”
One step closer to that goal meant more hope and joy.
This was good.
He Xiaochen was quiet for a while before she asked hesitantly, “Then… What about you? Ning Li, don’t you have any dreams?”
Lin Fengmian had been through a lot, and so had she, right?
She cared about whether Lin Fengmian’s dream would come true, but was there anyone who cared about what was in her heart?
Ning Li was stunned for a moment before shaking her head.
“No.”
Once upon a time, there might have been. However, she came to understand that some things could not be forced.

He Xiaochen replied with an “Oh’, feeling a little disappointed.
Ning Li asked, “Is the meat roll delicious?”
“Delicious–”
He Xiaochen was shocked and let out a scream.
“Ah! When did I eat so much?!”
After a moment of silence, she picked up her chopsticks.
“Forget it, I’m going to eat it all! I’ll just eat less tomorrow!”
