Yuan Xing was blow-drying her hair when she got the call from Dai Chin. "Miss Xing, please help Jing Fei. She's being framed!" His panicked voice reflected a lot on the situation.
She hurriedly put down the hairdryer. "What's going on with Jing Fei?"
"Haven't you seen the news yet?"
Yuan Xing went through the entertainment section on her phone and immediately swore. "So that's what they were planning," she muttered.
The news headlines officially wrote, 'SUPERSTAR JING FEI, A NYMPHOMANIAC?', with an image of Jing Fei alongside a male and female, intimately lying side by side on a bed. The article came attached to a video that showcased the whole scene. When Yuan Xing opened the video, she had trouble watching the threesome, but resisted the urge and concentrated on observing Jing Fei's look alike.
She was indeed very professional. The body double had the same height and weight as Jing Fei. Her face was also had the same symmetry to it. Many of Jing Fei's fans were quickly turning on her, which triggered anti-fans to add to the fuel. Yuan Xing was reading through some of the comments when she realized Dai Chin was on the other end of the call.
"Where is she?" she calmly asked.
Dai Chin knew Yuan Xing possessed a brilliant mind that few knew about. Jing Fei depended on her more than she depended on him, which said a lot. He also saw her in action once, and never did he question her after that. Being Jing Fei's manager, he knew what type of person she was and completely trusted her, so he had no doubt this was the doing of someone else. 'Yuan Xing can definitely save his artist from this scandal.'
"Right now, Jing Fei is in my house, hiding from the reporters outside her apartment. There are reporters outside my house as well. She's not doing too well and has locked herself in the bathroom. I'm worried she'll do something to herself." Dai Chin knew better than anyone that Jing Fei might look tough on the outside, she was not very strong on the inside. She wasn't like Yuan Xing, who was like an impenetrable fortress.
Yuan Xing nibbled on her lips for a second. "Hand the phone to her."
Dai Chin was already outside the toilet and gently knocked on the door. "Jing Fei, Yuan Xing is on the phone." He just had to say that name for her to throw the door open and snatch the phone from his hand. By the time he came to, she had locked the door again. Dai Chin had mixed feelings. He was a man, yet Miss Yuan Xing seemed to be more reliable than him, he didn't know how to fell about that.
As a result, he was questioning his own masculinity. 'Sobs, Miss Yuan Xing, please spare us men.'
Jing Fei had been trying to stay strong as Yuan Xing taught her. She withheld her tears and washed her face, staring at the ceiling of the toilet blankly. When she heard Yuan Xing was on the phone, she heaved a relieved sigh before rushing to take the phone from Dai Chin's hands.
"X-xing'er…" she hesitated.
"It's a good thing you didn't cry, otherwise I would have ended the call right then and there." Yuan Xing's stern voice made its way across the line. She knew Jing Fei's character well enough. If she wasn't strict with her now, how would she be able to survive on her own? She had to learn how to fight back with her abilities and not borrow someone else's power.
"Who do you think did it?"
"W-what? Oh, uhh, I think, I mean, it probably was…hmm, Yu Mei? She always hated me so its no surprise I guess…"
Yuan Xing sighed and pinched her eyebrows. "Think about connections. Which of those chosen models had legitimate reasons, not just some petty jealousy?"
Jing Fei pondered for a moment. It's true that the models that were chosen had no reason to obstruct her since she had no relations with them before. Yu Mei may hate her, surprisingly enough, she was strict and professional. It was above her to do things like this. She was too proud.
Did she offend anyone during the time she signed the contract with Sweet Passion? She thought back further. A malicious gaze came to mind. "Kang Lai?!"
"Mmm."
Kang Lai certainly did have a motive. After all, if it weren't for Jing Fei, she would have been chosen. Jing Fei thought nothing of it because the entertainment industry was a competition in itself.
"And guess who's friends with Kang Lai? Ming Lan."
Her jaw dropped at the revelation. Well, that certainly explains the situation.
Yuan Xing darkly chuckled. "Don't worry, I've got it all covered. You know what to do." Jing Fei shivered and felt giddy. It was time for Yuan Xing to do what she did best: ruin someone's life.
