Meanwhile…
A fan who was camping on the set of “The Way”, secretly took a picture of Shi Sui and Xiang Yi coming to film a scene together. After the photo was posted on the Internet, it sparked an uproar online.
On the one hand, more people started to pay attention to this drama series because of Shi Sui’s influence.
On the other hand, Xiang Yi’s business ability was mocked by the crowd too.
—— [Joke of the day: Xiang Yi acting.]
—— [Can she please not act? With that pretty face of hers, can’t she just go for magazine shoots and develop in the fashion industry or something!?!]
—— [To be fair, Shi Sui must be blinded by love and lust. Doesn’t he understand that overly aggressive promotion and forced fame will backfire?]
—— [I thought there was nothing more torturous than Vase Fairy singing. I didn’t expect there to be something even worser, and that is her acting chops. Seriously, every frame of the scenes she acts out are meme material]
…
The public opinion buzzed even more after someone posted a photo of Director Liu entering Xiang Yi’s dressing room.
–[Wow~ I seem to have suddenly understood something]
—— [I suddenly find Xiang Yi really disgusting. Could it be that her persona as “everyone’s favorite” made up and hyped up by others? Why would a rich and pretty girl do such a thing?]
–[So what if she’s rich and pretty? Many children of rich familie are psychopaths. Some seek thrill by stealing while some commit adultery for excitement ~]

The advent of the Internet allowed the dissemination of information to reach the fastest speed ever in human civilization. Countless good, bad, meaningful, meaningless, and fragmented information occupies the time of the masses.
Warmth and beautiful things are shared.
Hostility and tyranny collide.
Perhaps, one may be moved to tears by positivity one second, and punch their keyboards forcefully the next.
There may not be a standard mode for the evilness and niceness of human nature. Perhaps, human nature is ever-changing.
Even ordinary people are bound to face criticism, let alone Xiang Yi who was now incredibly famous.
Some people are crazy about her while some condemn her for everything she does.
The controversy seems to never end.
…
The makeup artist was still doing Xiang Yi’s eye makeup when Shi Sui packed up and came over.
The man was clad in a white shirt with wide sleeves, and his long eyebrows extended to his temples. After putting on a wig, he had an extraordinary aura that made him seem like an ethereal gentleman.
Xiang Yi stared at Shi Sui’s reflection in the mirror.
‘How… How is he so good-looking…’
Shi Sui greeted the makeup artist, looked askance at the facial expression of Xiang Yi who was wearing glasses, and asked with a gentle smile, “Do you like it?”
Xiang Yi nodded her little head vigorously, causing the makeup artist to be caught between tears and laughter. “Xiang Yi, don’t nod so vigorously, I almost smudged your eyeshadow…”
“Sorry.” Xiang Yi was a little embarrassed and hurriedly sat back down.
The process of getting makeup done for actresses was quite tedious and braiding their hair was even more time consuming. Shi Sui stayed with Xiang Yi for a while before going outside to get her some coffee when he saw that she was getting sleepy.
He ordered a vanilla latte for Xiang Yi, and when he returned, he heard Director Liu talking to someone over the phone at the end of the hallway. He was laughing happily too.
“Xiang Yi? That girl is very aloof and I wonder who she’s pretending for. I don’t believe that she comes from a wealthy family. Otherwise, why would her family allow her to join the entertainment industry? It’s no different from prostitutes…”
Going to the film set was just an excuse that he gave Xiang Yi. In fact, he had been loitering around and feeling uneasy about not being able to take advantage of Xiang Yi.
“But she’s really gorgeous. She has a thin waist and a perky ass. If I do her from behind, it’ll definitely… Hehehe…”
Whoosh——
His phone was suddenly pulled away.
“Who are you? Is there something wrong with you…” Halfway through cursing, Director Liu looked at Shi Sui, who was in front of him. His expression suddenly stiffened and he stammered. “Shi…Shi Sui…”
