There was a huge uproar on the Internet less than half an hour after the footage was released.
Yan Jinyi and Yao Xin's fans were extremely agitated and they occupied the comments section of almost all the websites.
[Sister Jinyi is so pitiful. Why do all demons pester her?]
[Finally, we have some evidence to back us up. I've been staying loyal to the female bandit leader's camp, and I will never leave.]
[My brains must have been fried, how did I end up becoming a fan of such a pretentious and scheming bitch like Yao Xin? Ugh! Yuck! Yan Jinyi, I take back my words and I'd like to direct all the hateful comments I've made about you, to Yao Xin instead. From now on, I'm a member of your bandit lair too.]
[Wow, wow, impressive. Yao Xin is really scheming. She kept claiming to be an innocent young girl who barely has any experience in this world. I think we're the innocent ones because we were so gullible that we fell for your bullshit!]
[Yao Xin is mad impressive. At the end of the day, it turns out to all be an act that she had staged and put on herself. Miss Yao has probably forgotten that she rose to fame, all because of Yan Jinyi's clout. Anyway, I only know Yan Jinyi and the role of Lin Conggui that she played. What role did Yao Xin play to make her think that she can be so smug?]
Yao Xin was slammed incessantly for hours and she had no choice but to turn off the comments function on her page.
In a famous apartment of Shenyang, Yao Xin smashed the glass cups on the table in a fit of anger. While feeling anxious and furious, she asked, "Sister Mei, what should we do now? Is it too late for me to apologize? I don't want to leave the entertainment industry, I had a hard time clinching the contract with TG Entertainment."
Lin Mei was just as distraught and helpless. She chided Yao Xin with disappointment, "Who told you to act so recklessly? Haven't you learned a lesson from the drinking accident previously? How dare you check into a hotel room with another man?"
"I-I was just angry. Sister Mei, can you help me look for Madam Zhuang? At that time, you were the one who told me what she was looking for me!"
Yao Xin tugged Lin Mei's sleeve in panic and said sobbingly, "Sister Mei, I've only just turned eighteen years old. I'm still young, I can't lose my reputation because of this. Please think of a way, please help me find Madam Zhuang, will you?"
In the beginning, Lin Mei thought that Yao Xin had great potential to become a star because she was scheming and very competitive. Besides, her resemblance to Yan Jinyi would make her newsworthy.
However, she didn't expect Yao Xin to have ruined her own career shortly after her debut.
If not for the fact that Yao Xin was an actress under her management, Lin Mei would have just ignored her.
"Fine, I'll call Madam Zhuang. Think carefully about how you're going to handle this matter."
Yao Xin nodded profusely. "Yes, yes, Mei, you must help me."
Lin Mei sighed. "I will think of a solution."
She tried to call Zhuang Lijuan several times but to no avail. In the end, Zhuang Lijuan even switched off her phone.
"Yan Jinyi, we can't just contact Madam Zhuang easily as and when we please. How about you record a video of yourself apologizing to Yan Jinyi?As long as you're sincere, a tenth of the people who hate you now will probably stop doing so."
'Only a tenth? So little?'
Yao Xin was in disdain. Besides, the person who caused her to end up in such a state was Yan Jinyi, to begin with. Hence, she couldn't stomach the idea of apologizing to Yan Jinyi.
"Yao Xin?" Lin Mei was displeased to see how hesitant Yao Xin was. "That's the only solution at hand. You either follow my plan or find a scandal that can take the attention away from you. Do you think you can find one?"
Yao Xin bit her lip and looked at Lin Mei with tears in her eyes. "Sister Mei, is there no other solution apart from this?"
Lin Mei shook her head and said, "There really isn't anything else we can do."
'Another scandal?'
Yao Xin's eyes lit up and she suddenly said to Lin Mei with a smile, "Okay, Mei, I got it. Give me some time to think in peace. Don't you have something else to do? Go ahead."
