Over the past few days, Yun Shishi, being the core figure of this matter, had countless netizens criticizing her when they did not even know the truth; in addition, some of her fans left comments on her Weibo page, asking her to come forward to clear things up.
Her manager had already contacted Fengxing Studio, stating his intention to buy whatever scandalous photos or intel they had of her even at a high price, but the other party had remained mum on the matter, only replying, âWe canât reveal it now; youâll know on Friday.â They then hung up the call on him.
âTo hell with that!â Qin Zhou let out an expletive, then he turned to face his artist. âDo you know whatâs going on here?â To which, the actress shook her head in confusion.
âReally?â He was getting increasingly anxious.
She said, âIâve been on set, filming for these past few days. You know what my character is like; I truly have no clue on whatâs going on. Was Zhuo Ke truly referring to me in his post?â
She was behaving as though this matter had nothing to do with her, and she truly believed so. She had nothing to fear since she committed no wrongdoing.
âWho else could it be but you? That doggerel has the words âpoeticâ and âcloudsâ in it. No one else in showbiz has such characters in their name besides you,â answered her agent.
That got her creasing her brows in confusion. âCould there be some sort of misunderstanding?â
He fumed. âThatâs what I suspect, too, but Fengxing Studio refused to disclose or explain anything. All I got for a reply is a âsee you on Fridayâ. Do you know what that means? Theyâre challenging us and Huanyu!â
âEither way, I didnât do anything against my conscience. Even if they expose anything, we can explain our way out.â
âTo whom? The fans who are misled by public opinion? The intel Zhuo Ke will expose is mostly accurate. The public will believe him unconditionally. By then, the masses will have been against you. Who else will listen to your explanation?â
The helpless actress replied, âIâve never gone anywhere except the filming set, so itâs pointless of you to ask me whatâs going on.â
Only then did the manager realize his gaffe. He frowned and then massaged his brows with his fingers as he uttered resignedly, âIâm sorry; I shouldnât have flared up at you.â
âItâs fine.â
âYou may go back first; Iâll think of a way to settle this.â
She spoke all of a sudden. âActually, no matter what he exposes, I can handle it. You donât have to fret much over it.â
âHow are you going to handle it?â asked her manager.
âIf itâs a defamation, I can sue him, canât I?â
âIâm not worried about that. What Iâm afraid of is him trying to discredit you.â
âDonât worry; Iâll deal with it accordingly when the time comes.â She stood up and smiled at him. âActually, Iâve got something to discuss with you today, but seeing that youâre already so troubled, letâs leave the talk for another day.â
âWhat is it? Just tell me.â
The man disliked being kept in suspense.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Thus, she decided to be frank with him by going straight to the point. âTo be honest, I have the intention to quit showbiz. I want to return to my family and spend more quality time with them. Itâs true that I may miss acting, but showbiz is a lot dirtier and more toxic than I expected. I donât seem to fit into this circle, and Iâm getting quite tired of it.â
