Chapter 224 First Prize

"What!?"\

After showering, the usually gentle girl suddenly became aggressive, trying to find a woman's hair on her boyfriend's body...

It's really just making trouble out of nothing.

If you really need help, why make me do laundry? Why make me take a shower?

She was just using this as an excuse to ask what had happened.

So, when Li Mu said it, a surprised voice echoed in the master bedroom:

"Really?"

"Go check Tianya. I bet there's news there. I didn't even read the original report... I'm going to lie down for a bit, I'm tired."

"I won't look at it yet. Tell me what's going on."

So, Li Mu spent some more time explaining the whole story, and then said:

"Sister Hua called me yesterday."

"???"

Fan Bingbing was taken aback again:

"Why are you calling me?"

"That's how I found out. And according to Brother Bie, she might be involved in this whole mess, ideally getting me... And following Brother Bie's line of thinking, she'd probably be pushing you up there, right?"

"..."\

Fan Bingbing was stunned for a moment...

A question arose: If she pushed me, why didn't Sister Hua tell me about it?

But now is not the time to think about that.

"What are you going to do?"

"drag."\

"Wouldn't that offend Zhou Long?"

"So be it. Right now, all I care about is when my award will come through. Once it's in... then I won't be afraid of becoming the next Director Zhang. Ha... um."

Hearing this, and seeing her boyfriend start to yawn, Fan Bingbing thought for a moment, then gently kissed him on the forehead:

"I'll go check the news."

"Okay. I'm going to sleep for a bit. Hold onto the phone for me. I won't answer any calls from anyone except Brother Bie; just pretend I didn't see them."

"Understood."\

So, Fan Bingbing took her boyfriend's two phones, left the bedroom, and went straight to the computer.

China News Service.

Tianya Forum.

For the former, see the original text; for the latter… see what netizens are saying.

As for *Vogue* magazine... let's leave it for now.

She soon saw the full text on China News Network.

She knew... this trouble was indeed quite serious.

But the news report published by China News Network today did not mention this matter again, so she went to Tianya Forum instead.

Her boyfriend frequented the area, and through this exposure, she became quite familiar with it.

As soon as I entered, I saw a post: "[Hilarious! A bunch of Japanese dogs are defending your traitors?]"

Her lips twitched.

After clicking through, I saw the original post:

"A bunch of bastards who defend traitors, I'll [beep] your mothers!..."

She immediately grinned.

This post has no content; it's just pure insults.

but……\

To see the whole leopard from a single spot.

She had seen the prototype of the "tens of thousands of netizens condemning" in that China News Network news report.

[Let's have a rational discussion. Shouldn't this be the magazine's fault? She's innocent!]

"OP, she's innocent, but your mother wasn't innocent in giving birth to you!"

"Your mother is not innocent, your whole family is not innocent."

How many mothers do you have?

"YOU, MOM, BOOM!"

Well……\

She actually didn't use Tianya Forum much before; if her boyfriend hadn't kept urging her, she probably would never have become interested in this community.

You'd be better off playing video games.

but……\

As the saying goes, once you enter the world of martial arts, it's like entering a deep sea; from then on, integrity is a thing of the past.

Whether she's lost her integrity or not is another matter... Fan Bingbing was deeply impressed by the aggressive tactics of the netizens on Tianya.

Are these people... really that powerful?

Looking at the topics on the forum and the netizens hurling insults, she suddenly felt a little intimidated.

I shudder to think what would happen if something happened to me, and the news got here... how badly I'd be scolded.

Judging by this situation, the whole family is going to get involved...

After all, she only has one mother.

There definitely won't be enough to go around.

So I promptly shut down the forum.

After thinking for a moment, she got up and went into the master bedroom:

"Baby, are you asleep?"

"..."\

Li Mu was wrapped tightly in the blanket and sleeping soundly in the air-conditioned room.

Seeing this, she left.

Normally, she should have slept in until she naturally woke up, then done some yoga, had a nice meal, and relaxed from the stress of her role.

But at this moment, my mood was clearly not suited to that sport that required a calm and peaceful mind.

So, after thinking for a moment, she dialed Wang Jinghua's number.

"Beep beep... Hello, Bingbing. What's wrong?"

"Sister Hua, are you busy?"

"Um, I just got up. What's wrong? Is there a problem with the film crew?"

"No, I'm taking the day off today."

"Oh, I see. Did you need something?"

"Hmm... Sister Hua... Is something wrong?"

Her idea was actually quite simple.

According to her boyfriend, Sister Hua had already contacted him beforehand. Brother Bie said that Sister Hua might be trying to stir things up.

Sister Hua is very

She values the title of one of the "Four Little Actresses," and from her perspective, it would be best if her boyfriend could remove her from the list. If one of the "Four Little Actresses" is vacant, then another must fill the gap.

And... in Sister Hua's view, her relationship with her boyfriend was very good.

Who knows, she might start helping him smooth things over with connections.

But she refused.

Firstly, just like my boyfriend said, if they really get removed from the list, who will step up and get a severe dressing-down?

She... wasn't afraid at first.

Seeing fans still arguing with netizens on Tianya, with one asking "Your mother?" and another "You have a mother?", gave her a headache.

Don't make things difficult for yourself.

Secondly... she could tell that although her boyfriend spoke casually, he definitely had a rather unpleasant meal last night.

And for the foreseeable future, I will have to avoid Director Zhou and Zhao Jian.

I shouldn't cause trouble for my boyfriend at this time.

She felt that her thoughts were rational and correct.

That's why I thought of subtly bringing up this matter with Sister Hua, so the two of them could discuss it.

result……\

"Huh? Something happened to her? What happened?"

"...?"

Fan Bingbing was momentarily stunned.

The brain's first reaction is...

"ah?"\

She thought she was hallucinating.

Sister Hua...you don't know?

How could you not know?

Isn't this what you said?

You told my boyfriend that!

But immediately, she heard Wang Jinghua's voice again:

"Bingbing, what happened to her? What's wrong? I've been busy these past few days and haven't been keeping up with entertainment news."

"???"

? ? ? ? ? \

Fan Bingbing was also stunned.

But... an instinct made her say directly in the next moment:

"Sister Hua, if you have a spare moment, quickly go online and check the news. This is quite serious. Let's talk after you've read it."

"Hmm... okay, I'll check. I'll call you back in a bit."

"Um."\

Beep beep.

The call ended.

This time, it was Fan Bingbing's turn to be stunned.

What does "Sister Hua" mean?

Why pretend you don't know?

Doesn't she know that I'm quite familiar with "Reporter Li"?

Of course she knows!

But... if you know, why say you don't?

? ? ? \

She didn't understand, and was even a little confused.

But just then, Li Mu's phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at it subconsciously.

Caller: Wang Jinghua.

"!"

Sister Hua...why are you calling your boyfriend?

"Could it be..."

A sudden urge welled up inside her; she wanted to hand the phone to her boyfriend and see what Sister Hua would say.

But the impulse subsided almost immediately.

He... was too tired.

Let him rest for a while.

So she just stared at the phone until the incoming call became a missed call.

She was lost in thought.

I was even somewhat bewildered.

But after a while...

"bite."\

Two new text messages arrived.

"Li Ji, Bingbing just called me... I said I didn't know. Have you been in contact with her these past couple of days?"

"Reply after seeing the message."

"Crack."

"Who is it?"

As the master bedroom door opened, a groggy Li Mu, half-asleep, walked out.

Fan Bingbing was taken aback:

"Why are you awake?"

"I woke up immediately when I heard the phone ring."

Li Mu didn't sleep well either.

So when I faintly heard my phone ringing, that feeling of drowsiness vanished instantly.

"Well……"\

Fan Bingbing, who had originally planned to wait until her boyfriend woke up to tell him about it, handed him the phone directly.

moment……\

"What...what does this mean? Why is she pretending not to know?"

"I don't know either... Why don't you ask?"

"Um."\

Li Mu responded and dialed the number back:

"Hello, Sister Hua, I was busy just now and only just saw the call... What's up?"

"Li Ji, did you see the text message I sent?"

"I saw it, but I don't quite understand why we didn't let her know we were still in contact?"

Fan Bingbing, standing to the side, also became serious.

She wanted to know too.

Why?

"Li Ji, if I may be so bold as to ask, what are your plans for handling this matter? Will... you allow her to remain on the list of the Four Little Actresses?"

"Well……"\

Li Mu glanced at his girlfriend and said:

"I haven't decided yet. Sister Hua, just say what you want to say."

"I'd like to ask Li's family to say they don't have it when she asks."

"...Why?"

"She's too strong-willed and too impulsive. You two already had a good relationship, but if she finds out about this, things might... well... Mr. Li, you know what I mean, right?"

"Hmm, I think I understand. So?"

"It's not feasible at this stage, at least not for her. If you really want to remove Zhao Wei from the list, Li Ji, she can't step in now. Also, if she does, all of Zhao Wei's fans might become her haters. She has a strong personality, and sometimes she can be a bit too ambitious. I don't think she's suitable, so… Li Ji, can we not tell her about what we discussed beforehand? I need to call her later to discuss it; I'm afraid we'll be exposed."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu glanced at his girlfriend, and seeing that she seemed relieved and nodded slightly, he readily agreed:

"Okay, I understand what Sister Hua means. She's caused you worry."

"Hey. It's not so much that I'm worried, it's just that she... how should I put it, Mr. Li, we're friends, right? So I'll be frank. Although I don't mind, but... the movie she's currently filming, she actually got it herself. The company... is already a bit unhappy about it."

"Well……"\

Li Mu was taken aback.

Fan Bingbing's brows furrowed instantly.

But the next second, his other phone rang.

Li Mu's gaze sharpened instantly upon seeing the caller's name:

"Sister Hua, I'll call you back in a bit. Something's come up here."

"Uh... okay, Mr. Li, I remember."

"Um."\

He quickly hung up the phone and grabbed another one:

"Hey, Brother Bie."

"Xiao Li, someone's here to give you a heads-up!"
