Rebirth: Inheriting Millions In The Eighties
Chapter 446 - 444 It’s Okay_1

Chapter 446: Chapter 444 It’s Okay_1

Ji Haichuan smiled faintly, "It’s alright."

"Speaking of which, I should actually thank you for your scene-stealing. You might not know, but I suddenly grasped a lot of acting techniques," he added.

Song Ze frowned, clearly disbelieving.

How could such insights be so casual? He’d been in the entertainment circle for over a decade and had hardly ever had such an epiphany. Could he have really had one just now?

However, when the two of them shot their scenes together, Song Ze clearly felt it: Ji Haichuan’s acting had noticeably leveled up.

Now, even if he wanted to overshadow him, he couldn’t.

This is what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot!

Song Ze: "..."

So angry! But still, he had to keep smiling and say...

"Congratulations."

With tears, with tears!

"Don’t mention it. After all, it’s all thanks to Senior Song," Ji Haichuan said humbly.

Song Ze: "..." Can you stop talking, please!

"This time, it’s turning a misfortune into a blessing. Not bad, not bad. But remember to always be grateful for Senior Song’s great kindness," Xia Ningxing continued to rub salt in the wound.

Song Ze: "..."

Ji Haichuan nodded with a smile: "I’ll remember that."

Song Ze: "..." Are you guys done yet!

"By the way, Senior Song, just a little reminder, before you have concrete evidence, it’s better not to jump to conclusions so quickly," Xia Ningxing said, arms crossed, in a light tone.

Song Ze frowned slightly, understanding that she was referring to Wei Qing’s matter.

Could there be a hidden side to the story?

At this moment, Director Su also came over, and with a look of intrigue, asked Xia Ningxing, "Xia Xia, how do you plan to deal with that matter?"

Xia Ningxing smiled lightly but didn’t answer his question, merely saying:

"Just wait and see, Director Su. I guarantee that this matter will bring even more fame to the show!"

"Now that’s what I call good news!" Director Su laughed heartily.

Which director wouldn’t want the drama they created to be a hit?

In fact, Director Su wasn’t worried. His father and Sir Lu were life-and-death friends. Everyone in the Red Circle knew that Xia Ningxing was given the green light by Sir Lu to be his granddaughter-in-law. Even if Xia Ningxing couldn’t resolve this issue herself, Sir Lu would find someone to take care of it.

If it were someone else involved in such a scandal, he would have no choice but to terminate the contract.

There’s no help for it. If the lead actor is embroiled in a scandal, the entire series would face a boycott.

And now, the internet and newspapers were abuzz with calls to boycott "The Legend of Ming Consort."

"As long as that troublemaker Xia Ningxing is in it, I refuse to watch ’The Legend of Ming Consort’"

"Me too!"

"Pshaw, you don’t deign to watch Baby Xing’s shows, but Baby Xing doesn’t deign to need you!"

"Xia Ningxing, get out of the entertainment industry!"

"Xia Ningxing, just go die in jail! Stupid idiot!"

Because there was no clear resolution to the incident, and the megastar hadn’t issued a statement, many people believed Xia Ningxing was feeling guilty.

One by one, they became self-proclaimed justice warriors, all condemning Xia Ningxing.

Outraged, some even went to the megastar’s building to curse loudly.

Until the megastar released a legal complaint.

[Our Boss Xia has been slandered by xx Entertainment Company and its artist Wei Qing, causing great damage to Boss Xia’s reputation and mental health. All the evidence has now been submitted to the court. The case will be publicly heard by the court at 10:00 am today.]

This statement stirred a public uproar.

At 10:00 am, court was in session on time.

When Wei Qing saw the witness, her legs instantly gave way.

It was him!

The one she’d paid off!

It’s over, she’s completely ruined!

With both human and material evidence against her, Wei Qing had no chance to argue and was ultimately sentenced to three years of prison.

The media reported extensively on the incident.

At this, Xia Ningxing’s fans suddenly felt the exhilarating sensation of a serf-turned-singer.

"Where are the fans of that Wei bitch now, come out and keep slandering with me! Weren’t you the ones who kept saying that my Baby Xing was the one who harmed your artist? Look what happened now, your artist has been arrested and thrown into jail."

"Ahahaha, this is simply hilarious!"

"They don’t dare to show up now, probably going to delete their accounts!"

"Everyone look, the number of Wei Qing’s followers on the forums is plummeting."

"Serves her right! If you don’t unfollow her, what are you going to do, keep her for New Year’s?"

"I was absolutely stunned by Wei Qing’s ’thief shouting catch the thief’ tactic!"

"Stop talking about that harm-bringer, my poor Baby Xing, why is her life so hard! Always being framed by others!"

"Isn’t that the truth!"

"How about we set up a fan club? No matter what happens to Ningxing, we will steadfastly believe in her, love her, and protect her!"

"Good idea!"

The truth is out!

When Xia Ningxing returned to the set, everyone came over to apologize to her.

Xia Ningxing nodded indifferently and then asked everyone to disperse.

Song Ze was there as well.

He looked tired and worn out as he spoke softly, "I’m sorry, I didn’t expect her to do such a thing."

Feeling deeply ashamed for unwittingly acting as an accomplice to the aggressor, Song Ze had no idea how to face Xia Ningxing.

"Song Ze, your judgment is really poor, and there is something wrong with your eyes," Xia Ningxing ignored his apology and said instead, "Wei Qing is not your lifesaver. Go back and investigate it properly."

After dropping this remark, Xia Ningxing left immediately.

Song Ze was not a bad person, and with his talent, he was destined to go far in the circle, so Xia Ningxing did not want to have a fall out with him.

The incident concerning the lifesaver was discovered by Lu Fan during his investigation into the people below deck.

Now, she regarded it as a favor she had given away.

At her words, Song Ze was stunned, and the confusion and doubts in his heart cleared away like fog.

No wonder she had changed so much!

So it was! He had mistaken someone else for his benefactor!

He had no reason to doubt Xia Ningxing’s words, for she had no need to deceive him.

Song Ze no longer felt upset about Wei Qing’s matter and immediately made a phone call to find out who his real lifesaver was.

After work today, Xia Ningxing received a phone call from Lu Tingli.

"Xia Ningxing!"

As soon as she picked up, the voice of the big boss came from the other end, filled with anger.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but swallow hard.

Every time he called her by her full name like this, it meant he was angry, and very angry at that.

"Lu."

Xia Ningxing quickly tried to curry favor, speaking in a groveling tone.

"Why didn’t you tell me about such a big incident?" Lu Tingli’s voice was full of worry and concern.

If it weren’t for the news, Lu Tingli would have been unaware of the situation.

He was relieved it wasn’t her who had fallen in the water; otherwise, he would never let the Wei Family off the hook.

If his secretary were here, they would be utterly speechless.

Because!

He had already sent people to investigate the Wei Family and intended to take them down.

Xia Ningxing knew he was scolding her out of concern, so she wasn’t upset. Instead, she felt warmth in her heart and whined playfully, "I just didn’t want to distract you from your work!"
