Qin's Mom and Qin Rong quickly searched to see if there were any rumors.
Sure enough, they found a so-called exposé from a middle school classmate.
"Yu Rouyin liked to flirt with boys in middle school, hooking up with several at once. She wanted all the boys in school to revolve around her, she was so flirtatious. She bewitched them, but then didn't want to be with them, just playing with people. In the end, the angry boys took revenge on her, and it escalated to calling the police. She even wanted to sue them, causing the male classmates to transfer schools. She's just a troublemaker. None of us classmates liked her, we all knew what kind of person she was."
Meanwhile, Ji Fei's inner thoughts told a completely different story.
[Those three were little beasts too, sitting behind Yu Rouyin. Their puberty turned directly into a pervert phase. Unable to control their fantasies and impulses, they watched some dirty things and then looked at Yu Rouyin through colored glasses, misinterpreting all her actions. They constantly bragged and compared, one saying he felt Yu Rouyin liked him, another saying Yu Rouyin deliberately showed off in front of him to seduce him, and one even directly claimed he did this and that with Yu Rouyin in the woods. Some didn't believe and wanted proof, some were jealous and wanted to try too, so the three of them lured Yu Rouyin to the woods.]
[At first, they just questioned Yu Rouyin about who she was interested in. Yu Rouyin hadn't expected to encounter such a thing when she was already trying to keep a low profile. Angry, she scolded them harshly, but a man's face is the most intolerable to harm, regardless of age. Evil thoughts gushed out uncontrollably, rushing towards Yu Rouyin.]
[After all, it was a school. With the screams, people quickly came to stop the crime. The boys came to their senses and were also scared. Yu Rouyin's parents arrived, called the police, and pressed charges. The other parents made a scene, defending their children and frantically cursing Yu Rouyin, saying they could tell she wasn't decent just by looking at her, that it takes two to tango, and so on. The three boys also insisted that Yu Rouyin had seduced them first.]
[Due to the many witnesses and the extremely serious situation, Yu Rouyin received fair legal treatment. But because they were minors, the punishment wasn't severe, and they later transferred schools. Yu Rouyin also transferred schools again because of this.]
Qin's Mom and Qin Rong were so angry they quickly pulled out this exposé and discussed it with Ji Fei, firmly stating they didn't believe it, pointing out logical errors, cursing those three little beasts, saying it was clearly their fault, and also cursing the person who posted it for deliberately distorting the facts.
As they were cursing, their hand slipped and scrolled to another exposé.
"A male high school classmate once committed suicide for Yu Rouyin."
The three of them suddenly fell silent. Qin's Mom and Qin Rong quickly looked at it.
Ji Fei hurried to check.
[Sigh, misfortune always strikes the weakest point, and bad luck always finds the unfortunate. That appearance really is a curse, isn't it? No wonder she almost ruined her own looks in high school out of despair. Who could bear the blow of both parents dying?]
Qin's Mom and Qin Rong's breath caught.
[Actually, it was really an undeserved disaster. In high school, Yu Rouyin hardly ever smiled, always keeping a stern face, not getting close to anyone, just to avoid misunderstandings. But she was still secretly loved by a boy.]
[The boy had domineering parents who forced him to study, causing so much pressure that he became a bit unstable. But his parents didn't pay attention to psychological issues, only searching his room when his grades dropped and finding various candid photos of Yu Rouyin he had hidden. They didn't believe their son would secretly photograph a girl, so they went to the school, dragged Yu Rouyin out, and questioned her about why she gave their son photos, seducing him and distracting him from his studies.]
[With the whole school watching, it naturally stimulated the boy. Finally unable to bear the pressure, he jumped off a building. But even after it was proven that Yu Rouyin didn't even know him, the boy's parents still frantically retaliated against Yu Rouyin, slandering her, saying it was all because of her looks, that she caused their son's death, and even wanted to sue her for compensation. They not only harassed her but also her parents, making their work life unstable. In the end, her parents suffered a mental breakdown and had an accident while driving, both dying and leaving behind only a severely injured grandmother.]
[After that, people who knew Yu Rouyin would sigh when they saw her, not because the child was pitiful, but... because beauty brings disaster.]
Hearing this, Qin's Mom and Qin Rong's eyes turned red. How could Yu Rouyin be made to pay such a huge price? This was even more tragic than the sad dramas they had watched. What kind of human tragedy was this?
"This exposé is even more fake than the previous one. How is this the girl's fault at all?" Qin's Mom said.
Qin Rong couldn't help but add, "Exactly! This exposé is inaccurate. I suspect it was because his parents made such a big fuss that the child was driven to jump off the building."
Hearing this, Ji Fei quickly said, "I think so too!"
Taking a deep breath, Ji Fei continued reading.
[However... I think I've guessed why she entered the entertainment industry... Indeed, it was because of her grandmother's condition, which required a lot of money. Initially, she dropped out of school to work and earn money, but because of her looks, she was harassed everywhere. This made her realize that with her appearance, she would face malice wherever she went. Moreover, normal jobs couldn't support her grandmother's medical expenses. So she tried to use her looks... Is this why there are rumors that she worked as a hostess before entering the industry? Because she worked at a club?]
They didn't need to specifically check their phones for this, as this black material was everywhere.
[Her original personality was very tough, and it was there that she honed her ease in handling situations. The most important thing she learned from the sister who brought her in was how to please men for favors while protecting herself. After all, with such looks and bearing the heavy pressure of life, she had no choice. Until she met her current agency that scouted her and let her enter the entertainment industry.]
[In her view, the entertainment industry was at least safer than the club, but she didn't know that the agency had already thoroughly investigated her background and had a tight grip on her. When she was still naive about the world, they tricked her into signing a ten-year contract with an almost sky-high breach of contract fee. No matter how many jobs they made her take or what they made her do, her monthly salary was only enough to pay for her grandmother's medical care, with nothing left over for anything else.]
[And because of her looks, those men who said they loved her, even if they had power and influence, almost all just wanted to possess her, not save her. She never counted on men, only wanting to rely on herself.]
[Now that the contract is finally expiring, she's about to be free. The conditions she proposed to Sister Pei were merely a slight increase in salary and a breach of contract fee within her acceptable range, and not to sell her out. Because she knows she's constantly in trouble, has a lot of negative publicity, and signing her is a big gamble. But apart from working hard, she doesn't want to encounter anything else anymore.]
[She doesn't want her grandmother to worry about her situation before she dies, listening to everyone cursing her. Even if she tries to deceive her grandmother that it's all just haters deliberately slandering her, there will always come a day when she can't keep up the deception...]
[Wah, wah, wah, I should die, I should have told Sister Pei directly to sign her, sign her, definitely sign her!]
By this point, Ji Fei was already full of regret. When she first saw Yu Rouyin, she was completely thinking about watching the drama unfold, and also thought she was beautiful, sexy, and charming, a natural stunner. She admired her looks and loved watching some of the roles she played, but never imagined that behind this was such a bloody and tearful experience.
Qin's Mom and Qin Rong had already lowered their heads, pretending to look at their phones, otherwise their tears would have fallen.
Qin Xian, on the other hand, didn't have as much empathy as them. After all, there are too many tragic people in the world, and girls in the entertainment industry with situations similar to Yu Rouyin's are really not uncommon. In previous eras, there were even many who entered to pay off family debts.
At least Yu Rouyin had found a relative balance of self-protection within it. Although she had countless scandals, she hadn't fallen to become a plaything of capital.
Because she was smart enough to know the hard truth about ability, and also knew how to use others' strength against them. This appearance and acting skills were the reason she could hold on until now without breaking down, and she had kept the only support in her heart, her grandmother.
Seeing Ji Fei's distressed look, Qin Xian was also helpless. Although he knew Ji Fei usually acted as if she didn't care and stayed out of other people's fates, not meddling in affairs, Qin Xian knew she was actually very soft-hearted.
Qin Xian patted her head and comforted her, "She was very unlucky before, but meeting you all, her luck should start to turn around, right?"
Ji Fei was taken aback for a moment. She noticed Qin Xian's eyes were deep and dark, yet they conveyed a certain determination that inexplicably made her feel confident about doing anything.
Ji Fei blinked and sent a message to Sister Pei, emphasizing her point of view. Although Sister Pei still expressed the need for careful consideration, she had actually started discussing with the scriptwriters. They planned to follow the style of domestic entertainment judges, paving a bright path for future new members.
Three days later, during the draw, it was indeed "Beauty."
And sure enough, it was their two groups competing!
Online, people were already saying that this time, Yu Rouyin would definitely be the one to leave, even forming a scene of public appeal.
Only the director and producer, looking at the messages from the top-tier group, clutched their chests, unable to sleep through the night.
It was another damn confidential script!
