"Okay, I understand, there's no other way…" Zhu Yan ended the call with Lin Meili, laid down her phone, and her face was overcast.
The rumors she fabricated about Lu Xiaoyou somehow spread online, and the company couldn't suppress them despite hiring several PR firms.
One PR firm even turned on her, revealing the chat records of Zhu Yan's agency asking for their services, which made Zhu Yan's attempt to cover things up even more apparent.
Zhu Yan's reputation plummeted, and to protect what was left of it, the company had her withdraw from the "Moonwatch City" Crew.
Demoted from lead actress to the fifth female lead, and now bowing out in disgrace, Zhu Yan was on track to become the biggest joke of the year in the entertainment industry.
She and Yuan Lan plotted against Lu Xiaoyou, but they were the ones who ended up suffering great losses—with Yuan Lan losing a daughter, and Zhu Yan, a job.
Zhu Yan returned to the sickroom only to find Zhu Ti still sobbing.
