My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 457

After Ye Meng left, the director asked for the management’s approval to let Ning Ran do the shooting first.

She was very cooperative while working with the professional team.

The raw video itself already looked spectacular before the editing. It was like a fashion blockbuster.

It was already late when the shoot ended. Exhausted, Ning Ran was about to head home and take a rest. Right then, Wang Xiaoou called her.

The call got through and she asked Ning Ran to come to the office for a meeting.

Despite her exhaustion, she agreed to it.

On the way to the office, Cheng Xiangyun broke down in tears all of a sudden.

Her reaction puzzled Ning Ran. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

“There’s something I didn’t tell you because you were busy with the shooting, and I didn’t want to ruin your mood. I know why our company asks us to go back for a meeting,” Cheng Xiangyun said while wiping her tears.

“What happened? Just tell me already,” Ning Ran urged her anxiously.

“You and Ye Meng are trending on social media now.” Cheng Xiangyun handed over her phone.

Ning Ran took it and glanced at the treading topic. A Superstar Was Slapped By An Arrogant Starlet

The post came with a video of the incident that happened in the dressing room.

However, apparently, the video was incomplete and had been edited.

Not only did it not show the cause and effects of the incident, but it also highlighted the scenes in which Ning Ran slapped Ye Meng, and the latter shed tears of indignation pitifully.

Though Ye Meng’s popularity was going downhill these two years, she was still a superstar who was popular in China and throughout Asia.

Hence, she was someone whom Ning Ran could not afford to mess with. Yet, the latter not only offended her but slapped her as well.

Shortly after the video went viral, Ye Meng’s fans posted on various major online forums to reprimand Ning Ran. They started a movement to ask Star Entertainment to expel her and even demanded she quit the show business permanently.

In addition, some fans posted videos of themselves on media platforms, calling for Ning Ran to apologize and drop out.

Ning Ran felt her heart clench tightly, and her palms turned sweaty. Never had she expected that this issue would get so out of hand.

“Ran, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have provoked Ye Meng. Sorry to have dragged you into this mess,” Cheng Xiangyun said while sobbing.

“No, it’s not your fault. She was the one who slapped you first. Just ignore those irrational netizens. This isn’t the first time I got scolded or attacked by them. Don’t worry, it’ll be over soon.”

Despite her calm voice while comforting Cheng Xiangyun, she was actually panicking on the inside.

After being in the show business for some time, she already knew how this industry worked.

The influence of scandals could be so massive that even the commercial she shot today might not be aired, and she would’ve to compensate for the loss.

Other than that, the viewership rating of Sound of Thunder 2 might be affected too.

Xiangyun got involved in the fight because Ye Meng humiliated me. Hence, I can put all the blame on Xiangyun when things turn ugly. After all, this is Ye Meng scheming against me, so making Xiangyun the scapegoat won’t solve the problem.

When I was at rock bottom, Xiangyun was the one who took me in and allowed me to audition for Sound of Thunder 2. Only then I got to star in the drama as the female lead, which in turn brought me into the entanglement with the Nan family.

If it weren’t for Xiangyun, I would still be a wanderer in a foreign country. She’s my buddy. How could I do nothing when she got slapped until her nose bled?
