Chapter 295 A Lamb Being Preyed On



Jia Yi waited and waited until the day for the filming to start. While she waited anxiously to see whether Steffanie had listened to her nonsense and created a ruckus, she went to the filming set location with her usual demeanor; a quiet and uninterested person.

Only she knew in her heart how excited she was about what was about to happen.

As several media outlets started to camp outside while waiting for the filming crew to start the booting ceremony, Jia Yi could no longer hold herself back and the slight fake-smile she had on her lips became even more sincere.

"What are you thinking about? You look like you\'re having a good time." Jia Yi\'s manager worriedly asked her. Unlike other people, Manager Hei was clear about what her artist\'s real nature was. "Did you do something stupid without telling me again?"

Hearing this, Jia Yi felt irritated and glared at her, "What do you know? Just wait and see, the film I\'m about to act in will get much more attention than any other films!"

"You..." Manager Hei couldn\'t help but shake her head. Jia Yi was being too reckless, but as her manager, it was her fault for not being able to reign her own artist.

But who told Jia Yi to become the company\'s lover? If not because of her current status, she would have already thrown this foolish artist out of her studio and given all her resources to another artist that was under her management!

Sighing deeply while reigning in her anger, Manager Hei decided not to get pulled into Jia Yi\'s pace and only warning said, "At least tell the president if you want to do something big, the company can\'t keep on cleaning up the mess you make."

...

Outside the filming set where a wall of curtain separated the filming set and the booting ceremony venue, the reporters and fans who had come to take a glimpse and record today\'s event were about to fill the entire road.

Even the townspeople couldn\'t help but be curious to know what kind of celebrity arrived in their small city seeing how many people actually gathered.

White City was one of the country\'s biggest filming sites where snow could come thrice a year rather than once only. All year, the temperature was too low and everybody had to wear thick jackets and heating pads on their bodies. Of course, it was perfect for films to shoot where snow had to be included in the scenes.

However, as many people wanted to film there, White City was still a small city where they could only allow two or three films access to their city or it\'ll be too crowded everyday.

But the townspeople certainly heard from the city mayor that only one film was to be filmed this month. So, why was there such a crowd gathered there?

There were still two hours before the booting ceremony started so Ran Xueyi was not in a hurry to go downstairs. She had to go on a late night flight after being busy taking care of things around Chestnut that she could only use two hours of being inside the airplane to compensate for her lack of sleep.

After sleeping for more or less than two hours, Ran Xueyi was woken up by the ringing of her phone. She opened her weary eyes, grasped the phone, answered the call, threw it back on the bed after turning on the speaker mode.

"Hey."

"Xueyi, are you on your way outside?" Adelle\'s voice sounded breathless and the sound of wind whistling around her was heard as she was running back to the hotel.

Ran Xueyi was still a bit sleepy and lazily replied, "No. I should still have about an hour to rest before getting ready. Why are you asking?"

"It\'s good that you didn\'t go outside!" Adelle\'s voice filled with suppressed anger and anxiety was heard. "Right now, the area for the selected media reporters are swarmed by other reporters and fans! I don\'t know who did it, but a rumor has been spreading an hour and we only heard of it just now!"

Ran Xueyi sobered up and slowly sat up. "What rumor?"

"That you have a sugar daddy!"  Adelle stomped her feet on the ground and continued to say, "It\'s already all over the media platforms like Tw*tter and We*bo. Right now, everyone is blindly scolding you and even though your fans are trying their best to deny the rumors and support you, more and more water armies are fighting them and trying to spread all fake news and evidence about you having a sugar daddy!"

"Did you find out who is behind this?" Ran Xueyi, however, did not show panic unlike Adelle. She was very calm even though she was being scolded on every media platform by other people.

Adelle calmed down a bit when she heard Ran Xueyi not panicking and sighd, "We just found out about this matter so we\'re still checking who is behind this. Senior Wu said he\'ll call you when he finds out--"

As soon as Adelle was done speaking, Ran Xueyi saw that she received another incoming call and cut off Adelle\'s call to connect with Wu Qi.

Wu Qi: "Young madam, good mornig."

Ran Xueyi smiled. The old man still had the time to greet her even though a dire situation was happening. That only means, this matter was not worthy of her worries.

"Good morning, Uncle Wu." Ran Xueyi greeted him back. I\'ve already heard from my manager what happened. Did you find out who is behind this matter?"

"It\'s from Lullaby." Wu Qi took a deep breath. "A small competitive entertainment company. From what my team gathered, it seems that it was done by one of their artists. I believe her name is Steffanie Chang, a rookie actress. I don\'t know if the young madam knows her, but she has a habit of destroying other rookies."

"And she still got away even after doing that?"

"Her father is the company president. Nobody wants to offend the Lullaby\'s princess."

Ran Xueyi frowned. This type of situation was never new in this era\'s entertainment industry. On the contrary, it will continue to go on like this for generations. There really was no medicine for idiocy.

She memorized the list of cast in the film << The Untamed >> and knew that Steffanie Chang was part of the same crew team as her. Why did she suddenly want to target her? Did she think she was a rookie actress who she can just destroy as she wanted?

Suddenly, an idea entered her mind.

Ran Xueyi told him, "Can you check who was with Steffanie during these past few days?"

Wu Qi seemed to receive the meaning behind her words and asked, "Young madam thinks there\'s someone pulling the strings behind her and Steffanie is just being used?"

If that was the case then, things could be a bit easier.

However, Ran Xueyi didn\'t think it would be that simple.

As expected, as soon as she pressed her fingertips on the interface of We*bo app, a new discussion was created. It was at the very top of the trending list and when she entered to see what was written under it, she saw that a new post was sent for the public to see.

This time, it was a photo of herself getting inside a black Phantom car series from the famous brand Hunter X.

"Haha..." Ran Xueyi laughed.

Wu Qi: "Is there something wrong?"

"Steffanie just posted a status on her page a few minutes ago." Ran Xueyi\'s voice was filled with laughter as she continued to read what was on Steffanie\'s front page, "It seems that she\'s really angry at me, huh? And who is this Bai Jingjing? Steffanie wrote in her status that an actress who recently returned to the country was a shameless little tramp and said that said actress stole the role that Bai Jingjing really wanted and auditioned for. She thinks that actress deserve all the abuse and attacks from everyone for she heard that all rumors about me is real."

"Isn\'t this actress who recently returned to the country... me?"

Wu Qi was immediately alarmed by the words that came out of her and scolded angrily, "Young madam, don\'t worry about this child and ignore her words. I will do my best to have her blacklisted from the country! Her company will be taken care of as well!"

This Steffanie Chang actually dared to call his young madam a \'little tramp\'?!

Ran Xueyi let out a giggle and stopped him, "No need. Let them dance a little while longer."

She continued, "And even if you do get her, it doesn\'t mean you\'ve caught who started this rumor by the neck. If what I\'m thinking is correct, Steffanie doesn\'t know she\'s being used, like a lamb being preyed on by someone."

If she did, Steffanie wouldn\'t be so stupid as to use the hashtag with her name on it in her post and also slipped the word word \'heard\'.

That means somebody tipped her off and Steffanie \'coincidentally\' overheard it or heard it personally from someone.

Wu Qi felt a headache coming and he couldn\'t wait to take care of this little troublemakers who were trying to cause trouble to the young madam. What would he do if the Big Boss comes forward and takes action himself? Ah, the end result will surely not just end with a blacklisting. So terrifying!

Wu Qi sighed and surrendered to his fate to clean up these troublemakers. "What do you think we should do?"

Ran Xueyi smiled. "For now... I have to attend a booting ceremony. So, you\'ll have to do me a little favor and do something fun."
