Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 427: Shaded

It’s true, it was your misfortune that you met me. If it weren’t for me, you would have had your own children, and would not have given me close to one third of your own blood.

Suddenly, there was a click. It sounded like the shutter of a camera.

Lu Yi turned around, his dark eyes squinting to pinpoint the source.

Yan Huan shook her head.

She pointed at her bowl. “My veggies are gone. I want more veggies, no meat, alright?”

Lu Yi turned back to her and started to pile vegetables into her bowl. He was so caught up in making sure she ate that he didn’t eat much himself. Although she did plump up a bit recently, it seemed like she was still too petite. He had to continue to fatten her up.

Yan Huan did not know that Lu Yi was trying to fatten her up like a pig.

In the field of entertainment, the grapevine was a terrifying source of information. Certain news would spread faster than you would expect. Perhaps in a breeze of wind, in a hail of rain, or even in the blink of an eye, you would be propelled to an unparalleled level of fame or notoriety.

The legendary actress Yan Huan had met in secret with a mysterious male, and was suspected to be a mistress to him.

What is the identity of the mysterious man?

Find out how Yan Huan garnered his favor.

Most of these were negative news. Even Yan Huan’s weibo was blasted, most of it hateful and jeering comments by haters. However, there was still a minority of supportive comments by her all-time fans.

“People keep throwing shade at you,” said Luo Lin as he flipped through the posts on his phone. Almost every one of them was deliberately damaging her reputation. For example, some of them were speculating how she had been exchanging favors with someone in a position of power. Otherwise, how could she have shot to fame in such a short time?

It was true that Yan Huan’s luck was exceptional. She had been involved in the entertainment field for seven years, and she had officially debuted just three years ago. Despite that, she had already attained multiple awards such as the Best Performing Newcomer award, the Crowd’s Favorite award, as well as the Best Actress award, which she had received just the year before.

There was not much gossip about Yan Huan all along, as she knew to carry herself with dignity. She had also never accepted roles that were too outrageous. Therefore, she was known as a fairly ‘pure’ actress in her field of work.

However, the purer someone is, the stronger the belief that they were rotten inside. That was the reason Yan Huan was flamed so badly this time, and in addition to someone in the dark who was enthusiastically fanning the fires, it seemed that they wanted to thoroughly shred Yan Huan’s reputation.

Did they want to force her out of her acting career by damaging her reputation beyond repair?

The higher you climb, the more painful it would be if you were dragged downwards and hurled towards the ground. That was the type of fall that would result in shattered bones and oceans of blood.

“Are you not going to take any countermeasures?” asked Luo Lin. Yan Huan seemed as carefree as ever, playing with her cat’s paws while lying on the couch.

“It’s not the time for it yet.”

Yan Huan had stopped surfing the internet and checking her phone. She was waiting until the situation devolves until a certain point, where she would then launch a vicious counterattack against the one who orchestrated all of this. She would return tenfold all of the abuse that they had made her suffer.

Luo Lin arched an elegant eyebrow. “Alright, up to you.”

As a manager, he had to be responsible towards his idols. As for the company, Yan Huan did not have to worry. Li Changqing knew who was supporting her, thus if she did not react, he would not take any reckless action either.

Hmm, it’s still not time to move.

We’ll have to continue waiting for a while.

Day by day, the gossip about Yan Huan being an opportunistic snake was spreading like wildfire. In the process, much exaggeration and embellishment had been added to fuel the fire. In fact, someone had dug out the secrets of her past, some that apparently even Yan Huan was unaware of. These people were definitely having the time of their lives, fabricating stories that could almost pass as the truth.

Things such as her being a prostitute in the past, as well as offering sexual favors in return for assistance in her career were the most popular ones. Yan Huan noted down the name of that entertainment company in a notebook.

Revenge is a dish best served cold indeed.

She turned on the television with Little Bean perched obediently in her lap. It blinked its eyes lazily, disinclined to move.

The television was currently broadcasting a variety show. The guest for this episode was none other than Su Muran. Although she had acted in various movies that turned out to be sh*t, her acting skills had been gradually improving. This was the truth, and her fame was starting to build up as well.

Of course, in addition to the power of the Su family behind her back, she was the pearl of the local acting scene.

Yan Huan gently stroked Bean’s furry head. Bean opened its mouth in enjoyment, and fell asleep soon after, one of its paws lying on its mistress’ hand.

Yan Huan gently gripped it as she admired Su Muran’s performance.

That woman was definitely in acting mode. Whatever she said seemed true yet unnatural at the same time. Whoever believed her was an idiot, but there were definitely more than a few idiots in this world.

“Ms. Su, have you heard about what happened to Yan Huan recently? Do you have any views on it?”

Of course, they had to bring this up.

Yan Huan smirked slightly as she embraced Bean. Oh, this cat had been eating quite a bit, it was a lot heavier than when it was a tiny kitten. However, that was fine. It was a good cat, not to mention a pretty one as well. It could eat as much as it liked.

On television, Su Muran deliberately drove the conversation off-track, avoiding the main topic. The host felt that she might know something, thus he kept bringing up Yan Huan’s name in an attempt to make her reveal any juicy tidbits that she might have.

“I’m not that close with her, so how would I know about what happened to her?” Su Muran said as she twirled a strand of her hair around a finger. Her face definitely appeared pretty. However, no matter how pretty she appeared to be, it’s all the result the makeup caked on her face. Her skin was bad, so she would not leave her house without makeup. She also had a professional makeup artist who catered to her personally. That artist could make even a sow look stunning, and wasn’t Su Muran exactly a sow?

The refined makeup on her face did make her her features pop. Her every action also exuded an aura of elegance, which was not surprising since she was a daughter of the Su family. She must have had an exemplary education, so how could she be lacking in elegance?

These were all the result of an abundance of money and power.
