Chapter 34 Become a Scapegoat

It was undeniable that Ding Sisi was clever indeed. She could catch the major suspect in the short conversation. Ding Sisi picked up the phone again and dialed Zhao Yuyan.

When the phone got through, Ding Sisi ordered immediately, "Yuyan, find some online supporters to spread the topic that Yun Muxi had a child, and say that she quit her first year of college because she was being kept as a mistress by a rich and powerful people. The principal wife then found her and she was chased out. She was pregnant then and insisted on giving birth to the child, even tried to take advantage of the child to scramble for some benefit, but the rich and powerful people didn't even want to acknowledge her. She had to keep them to herself and became a single mother. And now she wants to seduce an idol to start over again! You just do what you're told."

Zhao Yuyan was astounded at it and asked with doubt, "Dear me! It's the biggest news! Sisi, how did you know that?"

Ding Sisi replied crossly, "I made it up! They don't care about whether it is true or not, but whether it can be a topic of gossip."

Zhao Yuyan could not help admiring Ding Sisi's wild imagination. Was it workable?

"Ok! I will do it!"

Ding Sisi suddenly thought about something and added, "Yuyan, remember to ask the trolls to guide the whole event and dig out the inside story about Yun Muxi. Maybe there will be something more interesting."

After finishing her words, Ding Sisi rang off, and a wicked smile took on the corner of her lips. Ding Xueqi was astonished at it. As a hard-core fan of Yun Muxi, she spoke unhappily, "Sisi, isn't it good? You can't do this. You just do harm to Yun Muxi. She is very smart with good grades and has a promising future. You will ruin her. I heard that her parents have passed away. She is lonely. What you are doing is killing her. I will not let you do that!"

Ding Sisi heard it and persuaded, "Xueqi, don't be too innocent. Yun Muxi is not a good person. You are deceived by her appearance."

Ding Xueqi still insisted and was convinced that Yun Muxi was not so shady as Ding Sisi said. So she refuted, "How could it be? Yun Muxi isn't like what you said. I will tell Yun Muxi that it is you who played the dirt on her. And let her come out and clarify it."

A shadow came over Ding Sisi's face, and she said coldly, "Ding Xueqi, don't go against me, or I will let you go to hell with Yun Muxi. Don't you like the man of Lu Family? If you don't meddle it, several days later, the man will hold a birthday party and I will take you to the party and create some opportunity for you... Otherwise,..."

Hearing Ding Sisi mention her beloved man, Ding Xueqi hesitated. She had fallen for the youngest son of Lu's family since childhood, but her family was not so powerful and could not enjoy the status as Lu's. Therefore, her love still remained secret. However, Ding Sisi now boasted strong background and made a name in the entertainment circle, thus lifting herself up to a higher level and getting closer to Lu's. If Ding Xueqi wanted to approach her beloved man closer, it would be easier to rely on Ding Sisi.

So Ding Xueqi was definitely irresolute at the moment, making a comprise unwillingly in her heart.

No sooner had Ding Sisi persuaded Ding Xueqi than her phone rang. She cast a glance and answered the phone impatiently, "Hello? What's the matter?"

Zhao Yuyan faltered timidly and told Ding Sisi finally, "Sisi, we'd better not do that. The rumor has been denied. The whistleblower himself admitted that he just captured the similar picture and deliberately smeared Gong Yu and Yun Muxi. Besides, he has also deleted the previous pictures."

Ding Sisi burst into a rage after hearing it and said, "What? How could it be? Yun Muxi really was smart. How could she escape from it?"

Although Zhao Yuyan felt it a pity, she had to say honestly, "Sisi, maybe Yun Muxi and Gong Yu were calculated accidentally. They were not them. Otherwise, how could the whistleblower come out and clear up by risking derogating himself? Don't you know how much this paparazzo has been criticized online?"

Ding Sisi got fidget when Zhao Yuyan spoke for Yun Muxi and rang off directly. She clenched the phone tightly in her hand, and her face was pale with rage. Ding Xueqi felt rejoiced inwardly that Sister Sisi could not carry out her plan. Although Ding Xueqi reproached her own compromise and weakness, she congratulated herself on hearing it.

But when Ding Xueqi felt secretly relieved, Ding Sisi's phone rang again.

Ding Sisi answered the phone again with great impatience, "... Oh? There could be something like it. It's really divine help. Come on. We should quicken our pace. No more incidents."

In the coffee shop in Shengxin Hotel.

At the moment, Zhao Yi, along with He Xin and Wang Hao, had an interview with Hao Qing, a popular young actress. When Zhao Yi was talking with Hao Qing, his phone rang inopportunely.

Zhao Yi hung up the phone, displeased. But the other end of the phone seemed rather pressing, and it rang again. Zhao Yi signaled to Hao Qing apologetically, took out the phone and walked out of the private room.

Out of the door, Zhao Yi answered the phone dryly, "Hello, what's the matter?"

The person on the end of the phone spoke emotionally, "Director Zhao, is the leading actor in your new film named Gong?"

The phone rang so emergently, but the person on the other side merely raised such irrelevant question. Zhao Yi felt rather displeased and replied indifferently, "Yes, so what?"

The person said with more emotion, "Director Zhao, do you know the leading actor is on fire on the Internet? Someone took a picture and said the leading actor has been a father of a three-year-old child, and it's guessed that the child's mother is the scriptwriter of your film."

Zhao Yi knitted his brows tightly and thought over in his mind. He said with displeasure, "Nonsense! I saw they just make acquaintance with my own eyes. How could it be! It is groundless."

The person said indifferently, "Well, Director Zhao, you're so easy to cheat. The whole thing is described in vivid detail online. If it is not true, why does it spread so truly? Besides, there are no waves without wind. If there is no affair between them, how could the rumor find them? You can check it on the website."

Zhao Yi hung up the phone. He returned to the private room, down in spirits. He Xin saw that and sensed something had happened. Zhao Yi and He Xin knitted up this interview briefly. Since they thought Hao Qing was not suitable at the first sight of her, there was no need to waste too much time on it.

The moment Hao Qing left, He Xin came straight to the question, "Go ahead. What happened?"

With brows furrowed, Zhao Yi took out his phone and looked through the latest entertainment news. Unsurprisingly, he found something about Gong Yu, and then he clicked it, only to find some vivid comments, even some netizens had turned against Yun Muxi and scolded her dreadfully. Zhao Yi looked at the picture carefully. The figures were fairly similar to theirs, but the faces were rather vague. Therefore, he felt that he hadn't seen the truth, and thus he did not believe what had been spread online, but he could clearly feel that someone was calculating Yun Muxi on purpose because the rebukes were pointed to Yun Muxi mainly.

And then Zhao Yi handed the phone to He Xin and asked calmly, "What do you think?"

He Xin took the phone and said coldly with a sneer, "Well... the current people have gone too far. If they really have evidence, why don't they shoot the picture of the front view, but the back? I tend to believe Xiao Xi and Gong Yu. Even if there's something between them indeed, it isn't so intolerable to the ear as on the Internet. Obviously, this is speaking or acting on hearsay evidence."

He Xin and Zhao Yi had the same temper. That was why they could get along well with each other. Being partners for so many years, they shared the secret agreement and similar opinions.

Zhao Yi nodded and said positively, "I think so, too. Do you think who did it behind?"

He Xin shook her head and said, "I'm not sure!"

After some thought, Zhao Yi looked at He Xin and said, "Do you think Ding..."

Before Zhao Yi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang Hao who had returned from the bathroom.

Wang Hao said in haste as if he had got something valuable and was eager to show off in front of Zhao Yi and He Xin, "Can you guess what I have heard?"

Before Zhao Yi could complete his words, he was interrupted by Wang Hao who just rushed in, so he winced with displeasure and said in a deep voice, "Why are you so hasty?"

He Xin asked in wonder, "What's wrong? Why are you so hasty?"

Seeing He Xin show great curiosity, Wang Hao stopped the story at a climax and sat down deliberately to sip his tea.

At the sight of it, Zhao Yi became more annoyed and said with some anger, "Come to the point and don't keep us guessing!"

In fact, Wang Hao was a little anxious because this matter was really urgent. He did not suspend any longer. He took out his phone and played a recording.

"...Xiao Hai, you should know who you're working for this time around! Sisi has her backup, do not worry and just do what you're told. You won't be held accountable even if something happens! ... Yes, just do according to what we've discussed. You'll spread malicious comments online about Yun Muxi, say that she quit her first year of college because she was kept as a mistress by a rich and powerful man. The principal wife then found her and she was chased out. She was pregnant then and insisted on giving birth to the child. They say that a mother is only worthy because of the child...but who would have known that she gave birth to a daughter, now the family doesn't even want to acknowledge her. This is how she became a single mother...Yes! Just like that! Also, don't forget to mention that she seduced Gong Yu so that she can find a new sugar daddy and start over again! ... Yes, just like that! When the netizens start to scold her, lead them to discover her dark past, you must ruin her. When you're done, I'll transfer the other half of the money..."

Wang Hao turned off the phone and looked up at Zhao Yi and He Xi. Their faces were as black as charcoal. Zhao Yi thumped the table hard and said angrily, "Hum! The woman is really a disaster! I guess it is she who did it! How dare she do it!"

He Xin agreed undesignedly and said, "Ah, one drop of poison infects the whole tun of wine. Ding Sisi not only delays the film schedule but also stirs up so much trouble. What an evil creature!"

Ding Sisi did not know that she had become a scapegoat before she could start her plan.
