<h4>Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Abandoned by All</h4>


    In her eyes, a flicker of cold intent briefly passed as she opened the entry.


    It was a yxh exposé with the caption: "Jiang Mian bullied the rising starlet He Qianyi in the backstage bathroom during a red carpet event, threatening and intimidating her, suggesting a tendency for violence."


    Below was a video, pitch ck, but the dialogue within was crystal clear.


    The topment read, "This matter went to the police, but Jiang Mian has her connections, so it waspletely suppressed."


    Jiang Mian’s red lips slightly curled up, her dark and lustrous eyes tinged with a cold sarcasm.


    Her gaze calmly swept over the crowd around her, exhibiting a variety of expressions, and then she suddenlyughed.


    Everyone took a fearful step back.


    Such a frightening look in her eyes.


    She wouldn’te over and hit me next, would she?


    Her background is too strong, we can’t provoke her but we can certainly avoid her.


    Jiang Mian’s eyes were like shimmering water, seemingly smiling, yet emitting a fearful light.


    Her voice was slow, as if dragging out a faint trailing tone, "What? Why are you all standing so far away? Afraid I’ll hit you?"


    The once lively kick-off ceremony suddenly fell silent.


    The next second, the producer He Guang walked in, "Everyone disperse for now, don’t wander around, hurry back to the hotel through the passage."


    Once the producer had spoken, the crowd dispersed immediately, as if eager to leave this ce of trouble.


    Jiang Mian nced at Ming Lang and then at He Guang.


    He Guang sighed, "Your agent is waiting for you in the resting room. As for the filming, it’s on hold for now."


    Jiang Mian responded indifferently, "For a while or indefinitely?"


    Ming Lang and He Guang exchanged looks, saying no more.


    Jiang Mian had not even spoken when she arrived at the resting room before Luo Ting took her straight back to the hotel.


    They had hardly reached the hotel when reporters had already surrounded the entrance.


    Onlinements were far from kind, with some even digging up Jiang Mian’s past affairs.


    "The police station should be like a second home for Jiang Mian by now, didn’t she end up there before because of pc?"


    "So the positive energy variety show she attended before was just a whitewashing attempt, couldn’t the show’s team do a proper background check?"


    "Last time she was in the station, no issue at all, her backing really must be enormous."


    "This kind of person is too scary, and to think I used to like her."


    Luo Ting reached out to take Jiang Mian’s phone away, "Stop looking."


    At times like this, the inte is full of nothing but harsh words.


    News releases spread across the, ckening her reputation; this time they clearly intended to drive Jiang Mian out of the entertainment circle.


    In the entertainment circle, rumors spread like wildfire; one moment you’re weed with open arms, the next you could face total abandonment.


    But the speed of the public opinion fermentation this time seemed as if it was being manipted by some force from behind.


    In an instant, everything turned upside down.


    "F**k, are they crazy?"


    Yangyang saw yet another entry hot on the search rankings, #Xu Yanzhi’s Assistant identally Likes#.


    Yanyan’s small assistant v: "Sorry, my hand slipped."


    "So everyone in the same crew is watching the drama unfold?"


    "What’s the actual situation with Jiang Mian now?"


    "No, wasn’t Yanyan supposed to be the second lead? Until Jiang Mian came along, out of sheer enthusiasm, agreed to y the third female lead with no pay?"


    "Damn, how can we evenpare such a person to our Yanyan?"


    "Why doesn’t the ’Linghua’ drama teame out to exin?"


    ...


    This little sideshow incident pulled out the fact that Xu Yanzhi had agreed to y the third female lead without pay and even humbly brought her own dance instructor to the set to learn and improve.


    It instantly triggered strong opposition from the original ’Linghua’ novel fans, while Xu Yanzhi gained a wave of public favor.


    In a fleeting moment, everything changed.


    Although Jiang Mian’s debut was neither hot nor cold, with her looks and her recent rate of gaining fans, it seemed her role in ’Linghua’ was set to be a huge sess, but now this mess had urred.


    Numerous opponents came forward to trample her down, wishing she would never recover.


    For them, having one lesspetitor was always a good thing.
