Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Life is Full of White Lotuses
Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Weibao only then learned that she had been replaced as the female lead in “Allure.”
This caught her somewhat by surprise.
Although she had guessed that Xu Jiayang would give her a role, she had not expected to be given the lead role.
Xia Weibao couldn’t help but be touched, and with this trust from Xu Jiayang, she definitely wouldn’t let him down!
However, when she looked at Weibo, she almost cried her eyes out.
Only twenty thousand left…
Looking at the comments, her Weibo had become a flood scene, filled with spit…
Everyone present had a headache. It was common for celebs to be bashed, but to be bashed to the extent Xia Weibao was, was unprecedented.
Leng Yan was holding back an anger. Now the company had already mortgaged to the bank, there was no choice but to keep going!
He looked at Lv Gang, “Manager Lv, what is the plan from the PR department?”
Lv Gang’s head was pounding. He really wanted to shout, ‘I quit!’
With Xia Weibao’s current reputation, if she could be cleansed, damn, he’d strip and run through the streets to spread the word!
“President Leng, under these circumstances, our PR department… is at a loss.”
He had never seen any celeb attract hate with such a terrifying propensity.
The entertainment industry is full of disputes, and celebs getting bashed is common, but things usually settle down after a while.
With Xia Weibao, however, her scandal from three years ago was still being dug up and her corpse whipped!
And it was escalating more and more, which was a first for him to see!
He had no idea what offense the girl had committed to be bashed so miserably!
Leng Yan kicked the coffee table hard, “Damn it, who leaked the news about the lead actress being replaced!”
The plan was to call Xia Weibao over today to discuss how to make this matter public.
But unexpectedly, someone had spilled the beans, catching them off guard!
They hadn’t even had the chance to react!
Xia Weibao’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Aside from you, who else knew about the lead being replaced?”
Xu Jiayang’s expression turned cold, “Lin Mier.”
The office once again fell into an eerie silence; it went without saying who had leaked it.
“Quick, get online, Lin Mier is doing an interview.”
Sister Tong looked at her phone, and her face changed instantly.
Xia Weibao quickly took out her novelty phone, and a video popped up on the internet immediately.
In the video, Lin Mier looked haggard, surrounded by a throng of reporters firing questions one after another.
“Mier, regarding the rumors on the internet about Xia Weibao stealing your role, is it true?”
Lin Mier glanced at the reporter who asked the question, her eyes reddened with sorrow, “It’s true.”
The reporters exploded with excitement as if they were on stimulants!
“Miss Lin, it’s said that Xia Weibao climbed into Xu Jiayang’s bed to snatch your role, is this true?”
Lin Mier’s body swayed slightly, clearly taking a huge blow.
She bit her lip, tears welling in her reddened eyes, yet she stubbornly refused to let them fall, appearing bullied and pitiful.
“I was unaware of this matter. This morning I suddenly received a notification that ‘Allure’s’ leading lady was to be replaced.
As for how Senior Xia obtained the role, that’s a question for the person involved.
What I want to say is, Senior Xia has always been the idol I admire the most, my role model. When I entered the entertainment industry, it was because I wanted to follow in Senior Xia’s footsteps.
Later when she was involved in rumors of drug abuse and promiscuity, I didn’t believe them. After all, she was my faith.
Even with overwhelming evidence, I couldn’t believe that my faith could do such things.
I believe Senior Xia is innocent, and seeing her become someone’s mistress, driven mad to the point of being committed to a psychiatric hospital, it truly broke my heart.
I have always been waiting for her to recover and make a comeback, but, but…”
