Chapter 854 - Finale: Song Fengyan x Luo Qingqing (2)
Xing Yiyue was expecting the following day to be hellish for Luo Qingqing. However, the moment she woke up and checked social media, all the news and gossip about Luo Qingqing had been wiped out completely, without a trace.
She continued to browse, but there wasn't really anything that appeared about Luo Qingqing having a child out of wedlock. Xing Yiyue was certain that Luo Qingqing wasn't married or was seeing someone unless Luo Qingqing was very good at keeping her affairs strictly confidential.
Her face contorted with anger. She couldn't believe what just happened and decided to give the paparazzi a call, but the moment he answered the phone, he yelled at her.
This was totally far from what she expected to happen.
"Xing Yiyue, you bitch! This is all your fault! You better hide yourself now because the moment I find you, I will make sure you'll pay for dragging me down with you!" He screamed, his voice full of hatred.
"W-what?" Xing Yiyue was stunned. What had just happened?
Shouldn't Luo Qingqing be bashed left and right now by the netizens for having a child? They should be scolding her for being shameless, but there wasn't a single hint of the rumors about Luo Qingqing at all.
So what if she was now a film empress? The fans were very fickle and could change minds easily. One moment, they would praise someone to the heavens; the next thing one knew, they were cursing the same person to hell in a split second.
It was really hard for anyone to stay relevant in the industry with this kind of supporters. One could not stand for too long unless one had a backing within the industry.
That was why Xing Yiyue was confident that her plans to ruin Luo Qingqing would work. She only needed to ignite the wick, and the rest would follow. However, she had never considered or thought that someone was protecting Luo Qingqing in secret.
Did someone pull some strings and protect Luo Qingqing? Xing Yiyue's nails dug painfully on her palm. How could this be possible? No way!
"Brother Cang, could you tell me what happened? Why are you so angry at me now?" She tried to hide her fear in her voice. She needed to calm down and find out what the problem was.
"Isn't it because you wanted to throw shade on Luo Qingqing that I have to scamper away from the city like a mouse being hunted?" He sneered at her over the phone. "If you have a brain, you won't dare to provoke the Song family for slandering their granddaughter!"
Granddaughter? What granddaughter? Did he mean that the child she spotted with Luo Qingqing was part of the prestigious and influential Song family?
Xing Yiyue couldn't understand what he was saying at all. How did the Song family get involved in this? How was it possible?
So many questions flooded Xing Yiyue's mind at once. Since when did Luo Qingqing get involved with the Song family?
"I-I don't understand…"
"Of course you don't, you dummy!" He belittled her. "The child that Luo Qingqing was holding is a member of the Song family. Do you understand now why she was able to stay this long in this industry while you didn't? It's because she has a golden t.h.i.g.h to embrace and support her!"
That instantly rendered Xing Yiyue speechless. Indeed, she was able to keep her popularity before because she had Feng Tianhua's support. She just didn't realize that a person like Luo Qingqing had the Song family as her backing.
No wonder Luo Qingqing never experienced major obstacles in her career. It made sense now… why she was kicked off the pedestal while Luo Qingqing's career continued to flourish without a problem.
"You better return that money you got from me, Xing Yiyue! Not only did you dare to use me to offend the Song family, but you also tried to scam me!"
Offending the Song family was like allowing herself to be blacklisted to major entertainment and media companies, something Xing Yiyue never considered would happen if she tried to smear Luo Qingqing's reputation.
Since the Qing Tian Group was a massive business empire owned by the Song family, it was easy for them to filter and block the news that could harm Luo Qingqing's career. So a malicious and slanderous article about Luo Qingqing and the child was something the Song family could easily get rid of.
Xing Yiyue threw everything that her hands grabbed as she yelled in frustration. If Feng Tianhua hadn't turned his back on her and tricked her into believing they were legally married, none of these would happen.
No divorce happened between them, and she was only lucky Feng Tianhua willingly gave her alimony on his own accord; hoping that she would stay away from his and their daughter's lives. He even went as far as forcing her to sign away her rights to Feng Mingyu as her mother, completely cutting her off from the Feng family.
Why did her life turn out like this anyway? She thought she had everything she needed in life; why did she find herself back to square one?
Was it because Tang Moyu came back to their lives? If the empress hadn't returned, she wouldn't have lost everything!
Xing Yiyue continued to curse Tang Moyu in her heart, not knowing that her misfortune was all because of the misdeeds and wrong decisions she made in the past. For a person like her who wouldn't own up to their own mistakes, she was too blinded to see or believe that she was the one responsible for it.
