Chapter 36 - Stars Twinkling Brightly

Chapter 36: Chapter 35: Stars Twinkling BrightlyThe scene was eerily silent, both drenched figures instilling a sense of dread.

"Are you alright!" Bo Rong hurriedly helped Ye Qiu up, considering his perspective, it was indeed fortunate that she managed to avoid disfigurement.

"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, are you hurt?" Lin Cheng had not expected that simply stepping forward to take the bucket of water for Lin Feifei would almost lead to irreversible consequences. He regretted it immensely now, wondering why he hadn’t caught the bucket himself.

If something had happened...

Even for a regular person, disfigurement is a devastating blow, let alone in the vanity-driven entertainment industry?

Thankfully, it was not a major incident!

"You did it on purpose!" Li Yan, with a stern face, accused Lin Feifei. Others didn’t see Lin Feifei’s rising smile as she nearly fell on Ye Qiu. From her angle, it was crystal clear. This woman, she did it on purpose! Intending to ruin Ye Qiu’s face.

What kind of deep hatred could justify such an act?

"I... I’m sorry, Sister Ye Qiu, I really didn’t mean for this to happen, I didn’t expect to suddenly fall." Lin Feifei, with tears in her eyes and a tragic tone, was fully drenched but didn’t care about her messiness. Holding Ye Qiu’s hand, full of genuine emotion, even if she had nearly ruined Ye Qiu, most of the netizens now believed she didn’t do it intentionally.

Li Yan glared at Lin Feifei; she had once thought this woman hypocritical, but now she seemed utterly ruthless and merciless.

"Give me the camera." She was determined to expose this woman’s true colors.

"Let it go, I believe she didn’t do it intentionally." Ye Qiu held Li Yan back from further actions. She believed that with Lin Feifei’s cunning, she wouldn’t leave any evidence behind. In front of everyone, if they wrongly accused Lin Feifei, they would only invite a counterblame.

"Sister Li Yan, please believe me, I really didn’t do it intentionally. What would I gain from doing such a thing?" Lin Feifei sincerely apologized to Li Yan, her tone filled with vulnerability and timidity, appearing as if she herself was the victim.

Li Yan felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a rat dropping.

"As long as no one’s hurt, that’s good. You both should go wash up, it wouldn’t be good if you caught a cold." Yi An intervened to mediate, speaking to both Ye Qiu and Lin Feifei.

Having seen ups and downs in the industry for many years, Yi An knew such incidents weren’t uncommon. However, without evidence and making a big deal of it, it would not be good for both Li Yan and Ye Qiu. Having spent time through two episodes, he might not know Ye Qiu and Li Yan very well, but he trusted their character. Given today’s incidents, Lin Feifei certainly wasn’t as simple as she seemed. She might deceive the audience, but surely not them?

Lin Cheng was also innocent, manipulated unknowingly and left to regret remorsefully on his own.

Li Yan wanted to say more but was pulled away by Ye Qiu, while Lin Feifei stood behind them, looking innocently self-reproachful, as if abandoned by the whole world, and finally quietly headed inside to change.

However, the netizens online were not as quick to calm the situation.

"This Lin Feifei definitely did it on purpose. If she couldn’t handle the water, why show off? Clearly, Lin Cheng was there to help her. And why pretend to be unstable and fall towards Ye Qiu? I don’t buy her innocent act at all!"

"Huh... Without evidence, Li Yan dares to accuse someone casually. It’s ridiculous considering she is a big star. If judges were as speculative as her, I can’t imagine how many innocent people would be wrongfully accused!"

"Lin Feifei is just a little white flower, pretending to be pitiable to gain sympathy, acting innocent even when she’s at fault."

"I would rather believe she didn’t do it intentionally. After all, it happened in front of so many cameras!"

"Thankfully, my Ye Qiu’s supreme beauty is unscathed!"

"I think Li Yan is just a meddlesome busybody, hasn’t Ye Qiu already said that Feifei didn’t do it on purpose?"

"Ye Qiu and Li Yan are really too much, Feifei clearly didn’t do it on purpose, and Ye Qiu is fine, she even apologized, why can’t they forgive her? Feifei standing there all alone looked so pitiful!"

"The imagination upstairs is truly unique. Ye Qiu is fine because she dodged in time. If it were an ordinary person who didn’t have her speed and flexibility, they would’ve been disfigured long ago, okay?"

"Heh... Who said that an apology must be forgiven? Where’s the rule that demands this?"

"Ye Qiu and Li Yan have always been sidelining my Feifei, can’t speak anymore, my heart aches, I’m taking her away."

"Exactly, just look at my Feifei’s sincere apology, she even cried okay? How could it possibly be deliberate, and we were all watching the live broadcast? How could my Feifei knowingly break the law?"

The fans of Li Yan and Ye Qiu were almost laughing in frustration, these fans of Lin Feifei really do have an absurd logic.

Alright, even if it was not intentional from Lin Feifei, but if she hadn’t been showing off, swinging the bucket of water and refusing to give it to Lin Cheng, would this incident have happened? And even if it didn’t cause serious consequences, it was still Ye Qiu who was lucky to escape harm. Does Lin Feifei think she shouldn’t apologize just because she said sorry? Moreover, who dictated that an apology must be forgiven?

Ordinary people couldn’t bear the consequences of disfigurement, let alone celebrities who rely on their faces for a living?

Li Yan and Ye Qiu are close, so it’s natural for her to be agitated and defend Ye Qiu when she almost had an accident, how is that being a meddlesome busybody?

Who knows, maybe Lin Feifei did it on purpose in front of the cameras?

It must be said, someone really hit the nail on the head!

"I think that Lin Feifei did it on purpose." Speaking up, Li Yan was still indignant, "I saw it, she even smiled when she poured it onto you."

"So what?" Ye Qiu analyzed calmly, "If she dared to do this under everyone’s watch, she must be confident that the cameras won’t catch her, and baseless accusations are only harmful to us."

"Are we just going to let her off like this?" Li Yan was inwardly enraged.

"Of course not!" Ye Qiu chuckled lightly, "People with impure motives like her will eventually slip up."

"You’re not in the same company as her, nor are you competing for the same resources, why is she targeting you, and actually doing such a vicious thing undeterred?" Li Yan found this bizarre, there were many in the circle who harm others, but mostly by leaking scandals or such, methods like Lin Feifei’s that directly go for facial disfigurement and ruin someone’s career are unheard of.

"Who knows?" Ye Qiu sneered, Lin Feifei really dared to play the disfigurement card even though it’s her second life, but the movie isn’t even announced to start shooting yet, not to speak of competing for roles, why then is she so jealous of her?

But with such a narrow-minded person, you can’t reason with her.

The show must go on, after Ye Qiu and Lin Feifei changed their clothes and came back, other than Lin Cheng’s constant apologies and regrets, everyone kept silent, never bringing up the incident again.

Lin Feifei, kept looking at Ye Qiu, hesitating to speak, her eyes filled with regret, self-blame, and tears, all captured by the camera, making her fans feel even more sympathy for her, and resenting Ye Qiu for her cold-heartedness.

Her acting skills were impeccable at this moment! Ye Qiu snickered internally, but her face showed no indication of wanting to converse, completely ignoring her, unafraid even if netizens mistook her for being heartless.

Lin Feifei is someone doomed to fail, once those incidents are reported, then, nobody will blame her, they will only say she did the right thing.
