Chapter 228: Chapter 156 Collapse into Ruins (Two in One)_3

Mu Mingxuan looked at Huo Miao, whose crying was gradually subsiding, his gaze suddenly tender, "Mm, I know. Don’t worry, when I was on the show, I already promised Miaomiao that we would get married as soon as I was out."

Huo Miao was his lifesaver and the woman he loved most in this life, no matter what happened, he would not let her down.

On the phone, Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian couldn’t help but smile upon hearing Mu Mingxuan’s words, having him by Huo Miao’s side, they of course felt assured about her; they then hung up the phone.

Inside the car, Huo Miao’s crying also slowly ceased after hearing Mu Mingxuan’s words.

She lifted her head, wiping the tears from her face, and asked Mu Mingxuan, "Are we really getting married?"

"Of course," Mu Mingxuan raised his hand to embrace Huo Miao into his arms, "Stop crying, don’t mind those comments on the internet, in my heart, you are forever the most beautiful."

He thought Huo Miao was crying because the ugliest side of her had been seen by the viewers.

"Can we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now?" Huo Miao’s expression was eager.

Mu Mingxuan froze, "Miaomiao, we don’t have our household registration books."

He comforted her in a soft voice, "Don’t worry, I’ve said I would marry you, and I definitely will."

Huo Miao bit her lip, knowing she was being too anxious.

She reached out, clutched Mu Mingxuan’s clothes, her expression was one of pain mixed with a hint of pleading, "I just saw some comments online, the netizens have very bad opinions of me, many are cursing and defaming me, Brother Mingxuan, you believe me, I really didn’t do those things on purpose... I didn’t want it to be like this... it wasn’t me..."

As she talked, tears almost fell from Huo Miao’s face again.

Seeing her tormented so miserably by those comments online, a trace of severity crossed Mu Mingxuan’s eyes.

He reached out to wipe the moisture from the corner of Huo Miao’s eyes and said softly, "Am I not clear about who you are? Don’t take those irrelevant people to heart; those netizens are just too idle and can’t bear to see others doing well. Your performance on the show was very good, I really liked it."

Huo Miao sobbed, "What if I did something you don’t know about when you weren’t aware? Would you still like me?"

"Of course," Mu Mingxuan confidently said, "Whatever happens, you are still the woman I love the most."

From the moment Huo Miao brought him out of the river, his life belonged to her.

Huo Miao was still extremely frightened inside, but the recent calls from Huo Kaian and Huo Kaiping had helped her regain some sanity.

Since Huo Kaian and Huo Kaiping had called her at the first opportunity, it was likely that they did not harbor any disagreement about the incident where she had pushed Huo Ziheng during the show, even if she were to leave the industry, she was still the sole cherished daughter of the Huo family.

Huo Miao pleaded quietly to Mu Mingxuan, "Brother Mingxuan, can we not look at the online comments? There are haters who have captured many ugly photos of me, I don’t want you to see them."

"Don’t worry, I won’t look," Mu Mingxuan promised, he had never liked to pay attention to those things on the internet anyway.

Huo Miao leaned against Mu Mingxuan, her eyes furtively glancing toward the driving seat.

Mu Mingxuan’s phone was there, charging.

She bit her lip, her expression inexplicable.

The driver, after listening to the entire conversation between the two: "..."

This is karma, isn’t it? Was it because he just went to the toilet and didn’t wash his hands, that he ended up picking up these two green tea idiots!

-

Yuan Wei and Lin Qi both sat in the car, and upon turning on their phones, received calls from their agents.

Their agents scolded them mercilessly, not only threatening to break contracts with them but also demanding compensation!

Due to their behavior, all cooperation brands had issued termination notices, and with this incident, both of their careers were utterly ruined.

Compared to them, Ling Bo didn’t fare any better either.

He debuted early and had been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, his relationship with his agent encompassed both employer-employee and close friends.

He was shaken when he heard his agent sigh over the phone, then say, "Ling Bo, you’ve really been foolish this time. While the show has its schemes, every choice was still yours to make. Do you still remember what you said when you debuted? Not to go along with the light, nor to confound with the dust. Do you remember?"

Ling Bo’s body jolted.

When he debuted at seventeen, young and full of fighting spirit, he charged into the entertainment industry with his love for acting.

But once he entered the industry, he encountered some of the darkest things that happen behind the scenes.

The events did not happen to him but to another boy in his dormitory with a delicate appearance.

The boy came from an average family background and was a newcomer to the entertainment industry.

When everyone else dared not speak out and the boy had no one to turn to, he stepped up, making a real-name report online against the wealthy businessman and the agent who was pandering.

Before the report, he just wanted to voice justice and seek vindication for his dorm-mate.

Back then, he thought, even if he were blacklisted, retaliated against, or forced out of the industry, it was all fine. The result was gratifying: the company was thoroughly investigated, uncovering an entire industry chain, and those who deserved it were sent to prison.

And he... got a contract with a bigger, more reputable company, found a better agent, and received more exposure and resources with the support of netizens.

Now, however, he found himself having extinguished his conscience along the way.

Of all the celebrity guests, none were happier than Jian Tiantian.

Jian Tiantian had actually been prepared to leave the industry. As she sat waiting for her phone to turn on, she murmured calculations about how much she had in savings and how much she’d have to pay if she left...

But the moment her phone turned on, she received a call from her agent. The agent, who always called her foolish, was now praising her over and over, telling her to hurry back to Capital City where a pile of advertising endorsements was waiting for her!

Jian Tiantian pinched her thigh, suddenly doubting whether she was dreaming. Why was the pie falling from the sky all of a sudden?

It couldn’t be that she was fooled by the show again and still trapped in the variety show universe, could it!!!

Jian Tiantian raised her hand to her cheek, her mouth slightly open, her expression one of shock and fear.

Without a second thought, she hung up on her agent.

As long as she wasn’t greedy, the scandals couldn’t catch up to her!

The agent:...

Heh, so the prior praises were in vain.
