The moment Zhou Peiyun responded vaguely, Su Yaya realized the situation was serious. Xinghui Entertainment was a small company with limited resources, making it unlikely that it could effectively handle a crisis like this. Their public relations capabilities were mediocre at best. If someone was intentionally smearing her reputation, the company wouldn’t have the means to fight back. It seemed she would have to tackle this problem on her own.

Su Yaya had no reputation to defend, yet she was being targeted. It felt as if she was about to be trampled underfoot, and if she wanted to recover from this, it would be more challenging than reaching for the sky.

No, this couldn’t happen! She had hopes of earning money in the entertainment industry. One day, she dreamed of being able to buy a larger courtyard when she returned to the countryside!

She realized she couldn’t rely on the company—greater hope often led to greater disappointment. Fortunately, there was someone she could turn to for help: Shen Xiuqi, the male lead of the novel and the powerful, overbearing president. He could eliminate his opponents with just a flick of his fingers.

After some consideration, Su Yaya decided to reach out to Shen Xiuqi for assistance. She told Zhou Peiyun, “I’ll speak to President Shen in a bit. I’m hanging up now.”

Given the company’s limited capabilities, they were unlikely to resolve significant issues. Su Yaya didn’t want to put Zhou Peiyun in a difficult position; she understood that Zhou was likely hoping she would seek help from Shen Xiuqi.

After ending the call with Zhou Peiyun, Su Yaya quickly opened her Weibo. Thousands of messages flooded her screen, causing her fruit-branded phone to nearly freeze from the sheer volume of comments.

After a while, Su Yaya’s fruit-branded phone finally calmed down. She first checked her private messages, only to find an onslaught of scolding messages. Next, she glanced at the comments under her Weibo selfies, which were even more unbearable. The comment section was filled with attacks from all angles, with people accusing her of fooling around with various men. Some even posted pictures of her with Shen Xiuqi, Wang Wenhao, and Yan Junyi.

Seeing all these chaotic insults made her feel physically unwell.

Damn it! She had initially thought that the situation was just a smear campaign she could resolve easily with Shen Xiuqi’s help. But now, these people were accusing her of seducing men, leading a chaotic private life, and changing partners as if it were a casual wardrobe choice.

Although she knew these accusations were false, and she suspected Shen Xiuqi would see through them too, she couldn’t help but wonder: how would he react when he saw these comments?

He probably wanted to tear her apart!

No man wanted to wear a green hat, even if it was just a baseless rumor! These allegations were likely to make Shen Xiuqi’s temper flare as dramatically as the lush green of the Hulunbuir Prairie.

She could almost hear the sound of a grass-mud horse galloping wildly through his thoughts.

The situation was bleak. She had to find Shen Xiuqi and clarify everything and also needed to coax him into a good mood. She couldn’t let him misunderstand her as the comments suggested. If he believed those rumors, her life would become a nightmare. She wouldn’t even have to wait for his “white moonlight” to return; she’d already be doomed.

Su Yaya was anxious to find Shen Xiuqi and explain everything. As she hurried along, she spotted him striding toward her, his handsome face devoid of expression as a gloomy aura surrounded him. It felt like the calm before the storm.

This is it, it’s over. From his demeanor, it seemed like he had come to confront her.

What should she do? The instinct to run away surged within her…

The Author has something to say:

Su Yaya: What should I do? I want to run away…

Shen Xiuqi: Where do you want to run off to?
