Chapter 73
[Actress Shi Qin]
[First of all, I want to apologize to everyone for taking up so much public resources for so long, and for causing some unnecessary discussions and having a negative impact.
Secondly, I want to expose @Director Lu Xing here for the series of malicious acts he committed against my mother back then, and, after so many years, to protest for my mother, to speak up for justice. The innocent will always be innocent.
I have been an orphan since I was a child. From resenting being abandoned at first, to now understanding the real truth, the initial inferiority in my heart made me afraid to speak out to the outside world.
But today, I want to bravely expose a certain person’s true face in front of the public.
So, here are the following two recordings, as well as an authentication report that a certain person personally gave me.
Here, I am not just protesting for my family, but also for the many, many women who have suffered injustice and coercion!
Finally, I have no intention of using old stories for hype. In the future, I will also learn how to be a good actress and bring more good works to everyone.
The above is my full response to this matter.]
The moment Shi Qin’s Weibo post was released, it went viral, instantly blowing up the entire platform.
In just twenty minutes, the number of reposts had reached five hundred thousand!
The situation had taken a major turn. Numerous gossip accounts also began to dig deep into the stories related to Ye Qingnan from back then.
Even some staff members who had known Ye Qingnan before came forward to speak out:
[I worked with Sister Ye for a period of time on the set back then. It was not at all as unbearable as the outside world said!
After that incident, such a gentle person became depressed and unhappy. Everyone on the inside knew why!
But due to pressure, no one dared to speak up. Until after she died, I have felt guilty in my heart all these years. Now, taking this opportunity, I can finally speak my mind!]
After one person spoke out, many more of Ye Qingnan’s friends, and even classmates, also came forward to express their feelings.
And Ye Lan also reposted the Weibo post, and accused Lu Xing of his malicious acts back then, as well as the pain of Ye Qingnan’s death from depression.
No one had expected that a romance scandal could lead to the truth of a long-buried past.
Artists privately informed each other of the gossip. In the companies, employees who had been drowsy and slacking off were instantly wide awake. Even people shopping in the malls began to look at their phones and discuss.
This matter exploded all over the internet.
And some people, after learning about Shi Qin’s background, while feeling sorry for her, also praised her for her courage.
In just one morning, the number of Shi Qin’s Weibo followers had increased by a hundred thousand.
Later, when Zhou Jinsi asked about this matter again, Shi Qin just smiled and told her:
“This matter, I had planned it long ago. The appearance of the scandal was just one step in my plan.”
It turned out that as early as when Shi Qin had noticed that her hotel room had been tampered with, she had realized that Lu Xing was already suspicious of her.
Sure enough, not long after, Lu Xing had contacted Jiang Nuo.
Shi Qin had anticipated that Lu Xing would probably ask her about things related to her, so she had given the recording pen to Jiang Nuo to preserve the evidence of Lu Xing’s own admission.
But just one recording was far from enough.
So Shi Qin thought of using herself as bait. On the night she took the initiative to find Lu Xing, she deliberately led the topic to Ye Qingnan.
But it wasn’t just for this. Shi Qin had long wanted to question him once, to see if he had any guilt at all about what happened back then.
It was a pity that she had still held some hope for Lu Xing.
After so many years, Lu Xing had not realized his mistake at all.
As a perpetrator, because of his unease about another’s death, he delusionally wanted to shift the blame onto the victim.
He had never had a single true feeling for Ye Qingnan. If he had, it was a selfish desire he was unwilling to admit.
Greedy, and ugly.
Shi Qin had thought that if she directly released the recording, such a sudden statement would cause a lot of suspicion.
Human nature is always like this. People are not really interested in the truth.
But for a truth that had been silent for a long time and was finally reversed, it would arouse people’s curiosity and desire to explore.
People longed to restore the entire event through themselves.
And so, the paparazzi who had taken the photos that night were found by Jiang Nuo at Shi Qin’s request. And those videos and photos, Shi Qin had packaged them all up and sent them anonymously to Lu Xing’s wife.
This way, the popularity could rise to its highest.
And then, when the public opinion was at its most frantic, she would release the recording, fiercely tearing off Lu Xing’s disguise.
He had once taken away Ye Qingnan’s most precious thing. Now, Shi Qin would take away what Lu Xing cared about most, for her.
Destroying his reputation was tantamount to destroying his everything.
This matter, from the original entertainment gossip, after fermenting over time, rose to a discussion about the female community bravely speaking up for themselves.
The police also reposted the Weibo post about this discussion, stating not to spread or create rumors, and called on all female compatriots not to be afraid of shame, to bravely say no to the injustices they have suffered!
Justice is always late, but it will arrive.
And because so many years had passed, the case from back then could not be prosecuted, and evidence could not be collected. Ye Qingnan had long since passed away, and Lu Xing could not be convicted.
But Lu Xing was spurned by the public, who demanded that he get out of the film industry and never be able to make a comeback.
.
Half a month later, all matters finally came to an end.
The big stone in her heart had fallen. Shi Qin also regrouped and continued to work with a better attitude.
But no one had overlooked that Shi Qin had not responded to the scandal about her and Zhou Jinsi.
Therefore, this also sparked a discussion about the authenticity of the scandal.
Especially at the end of the year, the movie Shi Qin and Yin Chenxuan had filmed was about to be released. For promotional purposes, they once again appeared together.
This sparked a new round of arguments between the two groups of CPF (couple fans).
Until this day, Shi Qin and Yin Chenxuan appeared at the movie’s roadshow.
A wave of cheers erupted from below the stage.
Host: “Wow, I can really feel everyone’s enthusiasm. It seems everyone really likes our movie.”
“Come, then next, let’s have our main actors talk about some of their feelings about working together again.”
The host handed the microphone to Yin Chenxuan.
After that incident, Shi Qin’s popularity had also unexpectedly exploded, and she was now in the limelight.
Before coming, her manager had instructed him to take the opportunity of promoting the movie to properly build up the couple’s reputation, and also to ride on Shi Qin’s current popularity.
Yin Chenxuan took the microphone, first smiled at Shi Qin, then turned his head and smiled again, looking a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, the people below the stage started to cheer again.
Shi Qin shot him a faint look, suppressing the urge to roll her eyes.
No, big brother, what are you being shy about?
I uncoupled from you hundreds of years ago!!
Of course, Yin Chenxuan didn’t know what Shi Qin was cursing him for at this moment and was still on the side, expressing his feelings very affectionately.
“Mhm… I’m definitely very happy and honored, because everyone knows…” Yin Chenxuan suddenly looked at Shi Qin.
“Xiao Qin is very beautiful. I really want to sigh every time I see her.”
Hehe.
Shi Qin gave him a forced smile.
She didn’t listen to the rest of his words. Yin Chenxuan would look at her from time to time, but she didn’t look back, just nodding mechanically.
After listening for a long time, Shi Qin began to space out.
Her gaze swept over the audience below, casually scanning.
Suddenly, in the middle row, a familiar figure caught her attention.
The figure and feeling were very similar to a certain person, but she was wearing a hat, so her face couldn’t be seen clearly.
It shouldn’t be. Isn’t she supposed to be in class today?
After a long moment, all the people on stage had finished their speeches, and the host began to take questions from the audience.
“Come on, are there any friends in the audience who want to say something? Raise your hand and let me see!”
A crowd of people below the stage raised their hands, but perhaps because a certain person’s presence was too special, the host noticed her at a glance.
The person took off her hat, smoothed her long hair, and stood up calmly.
Everyone present turned their gaze to her, including the actors.
Some people had already recognized her and began to discuss in low voices.
But that person was looking straight at Shi Qin, without blinking.
Shi Qin felt her heart skip a beat, and time seemed to stand still.
That person’s gaze seemed to have cast a spell, making her stand there foolishly.
