Just as the afternoon’s scenes were wrapping up, Hua Tiantian’s assistant unexpectedly received a phone call.
"You’re President ng’s secretary... Got it, I’ll pass it on to Tian Tian."
The bewildered assistant wasn’t entirely sure about the implication behind the call but decided to scour the internet for the latest entertainnt headlines. When she noticed that Hua Tiantian’s headline had been replaced by another without her knowledge, she was stunned into silence.
"Everyone, take a break."
Hua Tiantian walked off the set and saw her assistant glued to her phone screen, her eyes practically frozen in place. Unable to resist, she waved her hand in front of the assistant’s face. "Hey, hey, what’s wrong with you? Got bewitched or sothing?"
"No, it’s not that. Tian Tian, co look, this is truly the top news headline—explosive breaking news!"
The assistant gulped, holding out her phone for Hua Tiantian to see.
"What is it? Let take a look."
Hua Tiantian stared at the entertainnt section’s headline, now featuring Huang Shan. Clicking into the article, she was completely taken aback.
"Tian Tian, tell —is this dirt juicy or what?"
"Juicy—very juicy!"
Unable to contain herself, Hua Tiantian craned her neck and turned to stare at Huang Shan, seeing her acting as though nothing was amiss, laughing and chatting with her assistant.
"Does she even know she’s made headlines?"
"I doubt she’s aware yet."
"Wow. I didn’t think Huang Shan’s past was so... unspeakable."
Feigning indifference, Hua Tiantian casually browsed through the revelations about Huang Shan. Around her, more and more people began noticing the scandal on their phones, discreetly glancing in Huang Shan’s direction with hands over their mouths to stifle their reactions. Soon, quiet murmurs spread across the set.
"No way! Faking her academic credentials and even her age? Isn’t that just lying?"
"Her résumé claims she graduated from so drama academy, yet the exposé says she’s actually just a vocational school graduate. Her real age is three years older than what her résumé states."
Two crew mbers were discussing it. Soon, others joined in.
"It also says she was kept as a mistress by a wealthy and influential bigwig for a month, and even..."
The crew mber, being a woman, suddenly faltered, finding herself unable to articulate the explicit details. As embarrassnt rippled through the conversation, the gossip quickly spread to the assistant director.
By the ti everyone around her was busy whispering, Huang Shan finally sensed sothing wasn’t right. Even the makeup artist who previously fussed over her now regarded her with a disdainful expression.
"What’s going on? Why is everyone staring at ? Do I have sothing on my face?"
Her assistant shook her head. "No, nothing at all."
Feeling uneasy, Huang Shan grabbed a random staff mber and demanded, "Tell , were you sneaking glances at just now?"
"I wasn’t!"
"You totally were! I saw you. Now spill—why were you looking at ?"
"Just check the entertainnt headlines online and you’ll understand."
Huang Shan let go of the staff mber and told her assistant to quickly check the entertainnt headlines online.
"Strange. Shouldn’t they be gossiping about Hua Tiantian? Why’s everyone focused on instead? It’s giving the creeps."
Hua Tiantian and her assistant subtly set their phones down, witnessing Huang Shan’s interrogation of the staff from a distance. Hua Tiantian shook her head helplessly. "Classic her. I wonder how she’ll react once she realizes she’s made headlines."
"There’s more than just that! Faking her education and age, but also being... kept as soone’s mistress. Based on insider talk, the guy who kept her was soone powerful and sleazy—a real playboy who’s notorious for chewing won up and spitting them out. Apparently, she was totally ruined."
"Shh... How can you say sothing that shaful out loud? Stop, you’re tarnishing your own mouth!"
"Oh, right. Just now, President ng’s secretary called and said you should stay away from Huang Shan—that she’s nothing but trouble. He also said that this ti, he’s going to personally avenge you."
