Soon, the matter got blown up within the industry.

The paparazzi had taken pictures and for the sake of their reputation, the production team spent quite a sum to buy over the pictures.

Neither did they want the paparazzi to spill the beans.

Actually, there was no use if the paparazzi disclosed the pictures. The director, his wife, and the assistant he slept with were not big shots. If publicized, it was only an interesting topic, but not a huge headline. The paparazzi only wanted to get some money.

However, the matter was already spread throughout the industry and it was no longer a secret.

The most important thing was that Wu Liulian’s face had been disfigured and she had to go to the hospital.

The director regretted it. He wished he had gotten his facts straight first. He thought that she was a nobody and since she was in the industry, there should not be a problem. Who would have thought he messed with a young virgin?

At the hospital.

Wu Liulian cried buckets.

“Quick take a look, Mom. My face. How’s my face? Will there be a scar?”

It was not a big wound. The director’s wife was quite a sharp person. She had purposely cut at the important place. It did not specifically affect her looks in general. Even if they sued her for disfiguration and harm on purpose, they may not win the case. However, with a wound like this in the entertainment industry, dreams of becoming a star are gone.

Moreover, Wu Liulian was just a 16-year-old girl. She of course could not take it.

Su Fen’s heart ached beyond words and as she looked, she said, “I told you to be careful. Look at yourself. Now…”

Su Fen was so infuriated that she wanted to cry. It was one thing for her child to be hurt but…. It was worse for her to be played by an old man.

As a girl, how was she to marry in the future?

“I don’t care. Dead or alive, I won’t let this b***h off.”

On the other side.

Yu Minmin looked at Lin Che. “This time, she’s your relative. Will she be famous for this?”

Lin Che said, “I’m not afraid of this. I have too many relatives and all of them can’t be the same. The public will talk about this for a couple of days and forget about it. I thought they were up to something but I didn’t think they would really get themselves into a mess.”

Yu Minmin smiled and replied, “I guess we can’t keep her this time around.”

Lin Che’s lips curled. “That’s right.”

She did not think they would make any trouble at first. She did not expect that Wu Liulian would be so bold and was stunned that she actually started a big issue.

At the hospital.

Wu Liulian was shouting to sue that ugly woman.

Even till that day, the production unit’s director had not gone to visit her. Only a few of the assistant directors had gone over to pay her a visit.

Wu Liulian did not let it go and was shouting, “I don’t care, I don’t care! I want to see the director. Alive in person or his corpse if he’s dead. If he doesn’t see me, I’ll publicize this matter everywhere.”

“Alright alright. Think about it, you’re creating a big scene. It’s not good for you as well right?”

“Ha. It’s not good for me, but it’s worse for you guys. Just wait. I’ll tell everybody how rotten your production team is, how abusive, how feelings are cheated… Anyway, I’ll definitely tell everyone.”

The people who visited her were helpless. At this moment.

Lin Che arrived.

Upon seeing Lin Che, Wu Liulian jumped off the bed quickly.

“Sis, quick come, and take a look. I’ve been bullied by them real bad. My face, oh, my face. My face is destroyed.”

Lin Che looked at her. “I’ll only ask you. In the first place, who looked for whom? Did he look for you, or did you look for him?”

“Of course… of course, he looked for me.” Wu Liulian lowered her head in guilt.

Lin Che scoffed. “Really?” How did he get to know you? There are so many people in the production team.”

She was only a small-time assistant.

Wu Liulian clasped her hands. “Well, I sent him some fruits once. So he…”

Lin Che laughed coldly. “So you mean you went over to incite first. He has a wife and you went to look up someone’s husband. Of course, she came after you. She only hit your face and that’s already quite light. What am I supposed to do?”

Wu Liulian had not expected Lin Che to reply in this way.

“Y-you… but she destroyed my face.”

“She had a reason to.”

“I… Sis, I’m your relative. If you’re not helping me, are you helping her now?”

Lin Che replied, “I side with reason, not blood. I can’t possibly speak up for you not knowing what’s black or white in the production team. It’s because you’re the third party, understand?”

Third-party?

This statement made Wu Liulian mad.

“Lin Che, you’re doing this on purpose. You just don’t want to help me. Ha, what kind of relative are you? Helping them and not me. And you still say I’m the third party.”

Lin Che scoffed, “I entertained you guys out of kindness and helped you get a job at the team to pay off your debt. It’s you guys who keep testing my limits. As a relative, I’ve already done what could be done. I’ve already done my best. Whatever you want to do is up to you.”

“You…”

Su Fen listened and felt embarrassed and helpless at the same time.

She was more timid than Wu Liulian. She wanted to speak up for her daughter but was also afraid of provoking Lin Che.

She stood there for a while and pleaded with Lin Che. “What should we do about Liulian? Tell us what to do.”

Lin Che replied, “You should be glad that this matter is not in the news. The production team doesn’t want to blow this up. Or else, you would be infamous in the country. If that happened, everyone would have known what you’ve done. However, even if it’s not in the news, everyone in the industry knows. If you still want to get around here in the future, it’s not going to be possible.”

“What…”

Wu Liulian’s heart sank.

She jumped up and headed towards Lin Che suddenly.

“It’s you. You obstructed me. It must be you who doesn’t want me to steal your career of being a celebrity. You just want to be the only one at the top. You don’t want your relative to outdo you so you can always be the most capable one.”

Lin Che shook her head and looked at her. “You really think too much.”

However, Wu Liulian could not touch her.

Any guard around Lin Che could take Wu Liulian down.

Upon seeing the strong men, Su Fen quickly said, “Let’s go. We’ll leave now. We’ll move out. We can’t afford to offend. We can hide. Lin Che, please let Liulian off. She’s just a kid who doesn’t know better. I’ll take her along and leave immediately.”

Lin Che looked at her. “Then I won’t ask you to stay, Second Aunt. She’ll only pick up the bad stuff here. It’ll be better for her to go to school.”

“Yes… Yes…”

Su Fen quickly pulled Wu Liulian away.

Wu Liulian was reluctant and was shouting, “I’m not going, I’m not going! I was wrong. Please give me another chance. You have so many connections! There must be a way…”

Wu Liulian really did not want to leave. She had not achieved what she wanted. She was disgruntled to just leave.

But was it enough to say she did not want to leave?

At the villa, their suitcases were already packed by the Gu family’s staff.

“You… you guys are in such a hurry to chase us off, eh.”

Wu Liulian looked up at the villa. It was her first time staying in such an upscale place. It was also the first time she experienced being waited on by maids.

She really wished she did not have to leave. She’d rather die than return to her disgusting and ordinary home.

“I’m not leaving. Mom… please talk to Lin Che. Tell her not to chase us away alright…”

Su Fen had no other solutions. “Look at the mess you made. I already told you to know your place.”
