My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 468

The next day, Nan Chen was busy right from the morning. He finally managed to take a breather in the afternoon and was prepared to head for lunch.

He was not a fan of deliveries. As long as his schedule for the day was fixed, someone from the Nan family would send his lunch over to the office.

Upon taking a few bites, he placed the utensils back down. Surprisingly, he did not have much of an appetite.

For some reason, he missed the woman’s soup noodles.

I wonder what she is doing now.

Upon fishing out his phone, he hesitated. Forget it.

I can’t praise her too much. Otherwise, she’ll become too arrogant!

Hence, he turned and asked Jiang Zhe, “What’s going on with Star Entertainment now?”

Although he sounded as if he was asking about Star Entertainment, Jiang Zhe knew that he wanted to know about Ning Ran.

Star Entertainment was merely one of Nanshi Corporation’s subsidiaries and it had its own management team. Previously, Nan Chen seldom bothered with the company.

Nowadays, he would ask about the company’s situation on a daily basis. It was all because of a certain artist who was working there.

“Mr. Chen, there’s a slight problem…”

“What is it?”

Nan Chen knew that it was not as minor as it sounded. If it were such, Jiang Zhe would not even be aware of it.

Since his assistant knew about it, it had to be something serious.

“There’s a video online…”

“Just get straight to the point. Who did you learn your stuttering from?” Nan Chen chided.

“Oh, well–”

Instead of continuing, Jiang Zhe took out his phone and showed Nan Chen the news.

The headlines looked terrifying: Upcoming celebrity stops at nothing to get rich! Forces children to work for money!

The news accused Ning Ran of being someone who would stop at nothing to get money, stating that she forced her children to star in advertisements that required overnight shoots.

The reporters further stated that if her children had refused to cooperate or performed poorly, Ning Ran would burn their bottoms with cigarette butts, making them obey her, out of fear of the excruciating pain.

There were even photos of children’s burnt bottoms attached at the bottom. Some even showed that they were hospitalized after the abuse.

Most of the pictures were fake. There was only one authentic picture that showed the children’s faces. It was from an advertisement for kid’s computers.

Chaos ensued once more.

Shortly before that, the netizens had sung praises of Ning Ran. Now that there were pictures of her allegedly abused children, they began raining down criticism on her again.

Some even accused her of acting cute and innocent. She already has a child and she still acts like a young, pure lady? What a liar!

However, Ning Ran never once behaved as the netizens had claimed, and not once did she intentionally hide the fact that she had children.

However, she did not allow them to appear in front of the camera often, so as to protect them. As a mother, she refused to allow them to be the subject of those keyboard warriors, as well as the victims of the violent abuse prevalent on the net.

The only time they appeared in an advertisement was when the children had requested for it on their own accord. In addition to that, it was Cheng Xiangyun who had secretly brought them to the shoot without informing Ning Ran.

The brand was not very popular and the advertisement was shot a long time ago. She thought that everyone had forgotten about it.

To her surprise, her haters really made the effort to dig into her past.

Nan Chen looked very concerned.

“When did they shoot this advertisement?”

“A few months ago.”

“Take it down from all the available channels. I don’t want to see it again.”

“I’ve done that already. The company wasn’t aware of the relations between the children and the Nan family then. They were equally as shocked when I contacted them and informed them about it. They have guaranteed that they shall cease in publicizing the photos.”
