"She wasn't suitable for the role. Replacing her was the right decision."
Hearing this, Fu Shan merely replied in an indifferent tone.
He had no intention of discussing the matter further. Instead, he subtly changed the subject, lifting the thermos cup and offering the warm milk to Xu Yifei once more.
"Come on, Yifei, have some more warm milk. Finish breakfast quickly—we've got a busy day ahead."
As the lead actors of The Legend of Jia Huan, both of them had packed schedules.
They simply had no time to concern themselves with unimportant people.
Xu Yifei nodded obediently, her attention immediately diverted.
After hurriedly finishing breakfast, the couple walked hand in hand to the makeup room and began another busy day on set.
Meanwhile, Fang Yingying had already stormed into the airport in a fit of anger.
"Sister Yingying, are we heading straight back to the capital?" her assistant Xiao Qin asked cautiously.
Fang Yingying's management company was based in the capital, and she also owned a home there, so the question was natural.
However, Fang Yingying waved her hand and sneered.
"We're not going back yet. Book us the earliest flight to Hangzhou. We're going to see my godfather."
A strange look flashed across Xiao Qin's face, but she dared not object. She quickly booked the earliest flight, and the two flew to Hangzhou.
Hangzhou
A luxury skyscraper in the city's famous business district
A pot-bellied middle-aged man sat in his office, smoking a cigar while listening to his subordinates' routine reports.
At that moment, his secretary entered and whispered a few words into his ear.
The man immediately broke into a lecherous grin.
"Oh? Yingying's here? Let her in."
He waved away everyone in the room.
The subordinates understood and quietly left.
Moments later, Fang Yingying walked in gracefully in high heels.
As soon as she entered, she called sweetly,
"Godfather~"
The single word delighted the man immensely.
"Hahaha! Yingying, come here! Let your godfather spoil you properly!"
Xu Jiawei—the middle-aged man—beckoned excitedly.
He strode over, pulled Fang Yingying into his arms, hugged and fondled her, then planted several kisses on her face and neck.
Pouting pitifully, Fang Yingying poked his thick chest with a finger.
"Godfather... someone bullied me. Will you help me get justice?"
Xu Jiawei's face immediately darkened.
"What? Who dares bully my Yingying?"
"Don't worry! Your godfather will avenge you and make things right. Tell me—who was it?"
"Who else could it be? That bitch Xu Yifei!"
Seeing him agree so readily, Fang Yingying felt overjoyed.
She clung to his arm, swaying it coquettishly.
"Godfather, you have to stand up for me~"
Xu Jiawei's heart melted.
"Alright, alright. Don't worry, my little treasure. Your godfather will definitely help you get revenge."
Not long afterward, a flood of negative news about Xu Yifei began appearing online.
Several related topics quickly shot to the top of the trending list:
#XuYifeiBulliesFangYingyingOnSet#FangYingyingRemovedFromRoleWithoutReason#Set Tyrant Xu Yifei#Xu Yifei Bullies Fellow Cast Members
Every trending topic painted Xu Yifei as a domineering actress who abused her influence on the set of The Legend of Jia Huan, bullied Fang Yingying, and had her replaced as the actress playing Consort Hua simply because she disliked her.
At the same time, Fang Yingying posted on Weibo:
@XuYifeiV
Sister Yifei, if I accidentally offended you or made you unhappy, I sincerely apologize. 🙇♀️
I truly didn't mean it. 😢😢
Please forgive me.
Please, please forgive me. 🥺
The internet exploded.
"My God! Is this real? I never expected Xu Yifei to be this kind of person!"
"She looks so beautiful and elegant, like someone above worldly disputes. Who would've thought she's actually so vicious?"
"Poor Fang Yingying! She's been bullied so badly, yet she's still the one apologizing and begging for forgiveness. What did she even do wrong? If anyone should apologize, it should be Xu Yifei!"
"Exactly! Xu Yifei is awful! How can someone like her still be called the nation's goddess?"
"She doesn't deserve that title! She doesn't even deserve to stay in the entertainment industry!"
"Xu Yifei, get out of showbiz!"
"Xu Yifei, get out of the entertainment industry!"
Xu Yifei's fans could no longer remain silent.
They quickly stepped forward to defend their idol.
"Please don't jump to conclusions. Has any of this actually been proven? Without evidence, everyone should stop spreading rumors."
"I think there's definitely some misunderstanding. Our Yifei isn't that kind of person!"
"Exactly! Yifei has always been kind and upright. There's no way she'd bully fellow actors or arbitrarily force someone off a role!"
Unfortunately, no one listened.
Instead, their attempts at explanation were met with even harsher ridicule and insults.
Before long, the voices of Xu Yifei's supporters were completely drowned out beneath endless comments demanding that she leave the entertainment industry.
The internet became filled with criticism and abuse directed at Xu Yifei.
Meanwhile, inside Xu Jiawei's luxurious mansion, Fang Yingying watched everything unfold online and burst into triumphant laughter.
"Hahaha! Godfather, well done! I knew you're the best to me!"
She leaned over and enthusiastically planted two loud kisses on Xu Jiawei's greasy, round face as a reward.
It turned out that the entire online smear campaign had been orchestrated by Xu Jiawei.
His goal was simple—to vent Fang Yingying's anger.
And Fang Yingying's objective was even simpler.
She wanted Xu Yifei to become universally hated, her reputation completely ruined, and ultimately be forced out of the entertainment industry.
Let's see if Fu Shan still wants her after she's disgraced.
Would the prestigious Fu family ever accept a woman whose reputation had been destroyed?
When that happens... I'll finally have my chance.
Fu Shan will be mine.
And I will become the young mistress of the Fu family, living a life of endless wealth and luxury.
