Chapter 272: Chapter 271: Ruining One’s Future
At that mont, Luo Ling was quite low-key. Although she was beautifully dressed today, she appeared sowhat unhappy. The director stepped forward to speak, and several veteran stars began to interact. However, they seed to deliberately ignore Luo Ling, uncomfortable with her imnse popularity. So, they decided to get back at her, and the best way to do that was to isolate her.
However, no matter how much they isolated Luo Ling, it was impossible to quell the audience’s enthusiasm. Her popularity was simply undeniable. Undoubtedly, it was only a matter of ti before Luo Ling beca a top celebrity; after all, she was the "pure" star being championed by Huayu Film Industry.
The whole audience cheered, and it took Luo Ling a good while to speak, as she too was swept up in her fans’ passion. But just then, a sensational piece of news broke, appearing on the headlines of major news portals and social dia feeds. When people clicked on it, they could barely remain calm, because the protagonist of the story was none other than Luo Ling.
The article was detailed yet left much to speculation. It stated that the "pure" female star Luo Ling had erged from her dressing room with her clothes in disarray. A handso man was seen leaving right after her. Was Luo Ling truly a pure star, or was her private life more open than she let on? The comnt section exploded less than two minutes after the news broke, right as Luo Ling had just begun to speak.
The veteran stars smirked. They knew this news would shatter Luo Ling’s "pure" image forever. They were overjoyed, believing this would make it impossible for her to recover. They were even grateful for the source of this news. A strange man in her own dressing room... it didn’t take a genius to guess what had happened between them. After all, the article clearly described her clothes as being "in disarray."
A wave of outrage swept through the venue. The fans simply couldn’t accept seeing their pure goddess in such a light. Reporters sward forward to question Luo Ling. Obviously, they wanted an explanation from her—an explanation for them and for the fans.
In the audience, Ye Fan had a bad feeling. I knew we’d be photographed. But there were no paparazzi backstage. Soone must have set her up.
The veteran stars wore gloating expressions. They couldn’t wait for Luo Ling to fall from grace and certainly weren’t going to help her explain anything. They expected Luo Ling to lose her composure. In their eyes, her best course of action would be to say nothing at all. Of course, even silence wouldn’t be enough to salvage the situation.
But at that mont, Luo Ling spoke. "I know what you all want to ask. I can give you the answers you’re looking for!"
"Goddess Luo Ling, you’ve always presented yourself as pure! How do you explain this?"
"That’s right! Aren’t you afraid of breaking your fans’ hearts?" a chorus of voices demanded.
Luo Ling calmly replied, "I’ve never claid to be a ’pure’ star, nor have I ever thought too highly of myself. You, the dia, and the fans are the ones who put
on a pedestal. I am an artist, but I am also an ordinary person! I’m only pursuing the life and happiness that I want. I’ve done nothing wrong! I don’t care how outsiders see
or how the world judges , because the man I love is more important to
than fa and fortune!"
Luo Ling’s words stunned the venue into silence. But it was only a brief hush before the reporters erupted with more questions.
Then, Luo Ling said, "I understand how you feel. If the entertainnt industry truly has no place for , I will leave it without hesitation! That’s all I have to say, and I won’t be offering any further explanation. Also, my boyfriend is here today. Perhaps it’s ti he t everyone!"
The crowd was perplexed and divided. So believed that since Luo Ling was at the peak of her career, revealing her love life now would ruin her future. Others thought she did the right thing. To them, an idol who dared to love openly and show her true self was an idol worth following.
However, they all desperately wanted to know who Luo Ling’s boyfriend was. Was he the power behind her, soone the entire entertainnt industry was afraid to cross? This only made them more eager to find out.
"Goddess Luo Ling, your words shocked , but I support you! Daring to love openly shows true character! But I’m dying to know, who is your boyfriend?"
"Yes, let him co out and et everyone! After all, Goddess Luo Ling, you’re an incredibly popular public figure now!" a group of people shouted.
The veteran stars couldn’t sit still. If this had happened to anyone else, they would have been raked over the coals by now. But in Luo Ling’s case, she not only received forgiveness but also support. Is this what her popularity gets her? Or has the dia gone mad? This isn’t how things were supposed to go at all!
At that mont, Luo Ling’s gaze fell upon Ye Fan. I have to make an appearance today, or it’ll be difficult for Luo Ling to get off this stage, he thought with a helpless sigh. This is her way of backing
into a corner!
He desperately wanted to walk away, but after her speech, he couldn’t bring himself to abandon her. With no other choice, he stood and walked toward Luo Ling. My only concern now is that my other won might see this news! If they do, I’m dead. In fact, the news was bound to be seen by them. It was trending everywhere, on almost every chat and news app on their phones.
There was no helping it. He was already at this point. Bracing himself for the inevitable, Ye Fan arrived at Luo Ling’s side.
The crowd instantly began snapping photos of him. So this is how exciting it is to be famous! Ye Fan thought, finally understanding why so many people craved the spotlight.
When the dia saw Ye Fan, they photographed him frantically. They hadn’t expected Luo Ling’s boyfriend to be such a young, handso man. They had pictured him as a mature, successful man, probably twenty years her senior, especially since Luo Ling was only in her early twenties. For her, choosing a successful man in his forties would have been completely normal. But she had chosen soone who was barely older than her and, by all appearances, a complete nobody.
Many people were already leaving comnts on Luo Ling’s Weibo, telling her to dump Ye Fan. He might be handso, but you can’t live on good looks alone.
"Excuse , Mr. Ye, what do you do for a living?" a reporter imdiately asked. They were desperate to know what an apparent nobody like Ye Fan had that could attract Luo Ling, especially when it ant she was willing to destroy her own career for him.
