After a Top Idol Married the Sickly Young Master of a Wealthy Family to Bring Him Good Luck - Chapter 16

Ling Suiyao slept intermittently for two whole days, completely utterly confused.

When he woke up, he checked his temperature, and the fever had broken. He didn’t feel any pain anywhere in his body anymore, and a refreshing feeling rushed over him.

He stretched lazily, pulling open the curtains; it was already dusk, and the entire sky was filled with pink and orange alternating sunset glow.

Ling Suiyao took some photos.

He wanted to send them to Pei Xinglu, but after thinking about the agreement, he didn’t send them after all. He then decided to post them on Weibo.

Logging into Weibo, he only then discovered that for these past two days, the entertainment circle had experienced an earthquake, and there were countless leaks about Pei Xinglu and Yu Zhihan, with photos and recordings emerging endlessly, even involving his two alternative accounts.

Ling Suiyao followed a melon-eating guide summarized by a certain blogger and watched for a full two hours before understanding this melon clearly. Temporarily, his heart was incomparably complex, and he was shocked into speechlessness.

The Yu Zhihan he had supported for three years, how could he be like this, different on the surface and in reality?

And seven years ago, the truth about Moonstar’s dissolution was actually…

#Moonstar#

#Yu Zhihan Private Life#

Wei Feng V: #Moonstar Dissolution# because Yu Zhihan was jealous of Xiao Pei’s high popularity. He tricked and led Xiao Pei to a drinking party under the guise of “filming a drama,” introducing him to a certain male producer (who is currently imprisoned for tax evasion). Xiao Pei refused and, as a result, was banned and incurred a high amount of contract violation fees. In addition, Yu Zhihan was once my boyfriend, but during our seven years of dating, he cheated on countless people, among them both men and women, ranging from wealthy businessmen to high-ranking executives.

He posted six or seven photos, some being date photos and others intimate photos.

Hammer. (Solid evidence)

Reputation reversed.

Fans started leaving one after another, though some were still hanging on.

Meanwhile, Pei’s fans, who had been cursed for a whole day and night, straightened up and had explosive combat power.

Many of Yu Zhihan’s dark pasts were dug out, so hammered they couldn’t be hammered further. Some brand owners proposed to terminate contracts, and online public opinion became increasingly difficult to control, with the number of fans reducing by millions.

The phone of the management company was almost being called off the hook, but Zhou Wan, the person in charge, was nowhere to be found.

Yu Zhihan was still frantically dialing Wei Feng and Pei Xinglu’s numbers, but the response was always the cold and polite “Hello, the number you have dialed is…”

Not willing to accept this, he transferred to another number. When the other side answered, it was as if he was desperately grasping a lifesaving straw. “Young Master Jiang! Please, help me!”

The other party burst out with a curse on answering and angrily scolded: “Who let you act privately? You dared to expose the Ling family without knowing how to keep your hands and feet clean, and to hide yourself well! Useless thing, don’t call in the future…”

“Hello! Hello! Young Master Jiang!”

Yu Zhihan desperately pulled a handful of his hair, knowing that his entertainment career was thoroughly ruined.

…

On Weibo, someone summarized Moonstar’s old affairs, and there was natural heat. Some members who had already semi-retired or retired came out to speak up.

【Pei Xinglu wasn’t as dominant as he is now back then. After all, he had just reached adulthood, and his family background wasn’t very good, so he didn’t understand some of the shadows in the entertainment circle. Yu Zhihan, on the other hand, appeared to be a ‘knowledgeable big brother’, but secretly caused many obstacles.】

【But I really didn’t expect that Yu Zhihan was already cheating when he was with the team leader. The team leader endured it until now; he’s really been utterly benevolent.】

【Does everyone remember the dark nickname ‘Pei Upstart’? [Image] These clothes with especially obvious logos were sharply commented on by netizens as having an upstart style. Actually, I once secretly overheard that it was Yu Zhihan who told the stylist to arrange for Xiao Pei to wear them. Xiao Pei had just come into contact with the entertainment circle and was really quite innocent back then, hahaha.】

【[Screenshot]*16. Haha, I changed many phones, but I always kept these. Finally, I can vent some frustration for Xiao Pei.】

【The drinking party social was also real, the producer was a man, and he even wanted to drug him, but didn’t succeed. Xiao Pei was extremely strong, gave the man a violent beating, breaking a beer bottle over his head, and even went to the hospital. There was news about it back then [Link]. It can still be searched now… anyway, Xiao Pei came back and had a big argument with Yu Zhihan, and later it was contract violation, leaving the group, and being banned, and Moonstar also dissolved, while Yu Zhihan even hypocritically cried and lamented at the press conference, apologizing for Pei Xinglu.】

Many netizens followed the trail to dig and really discovered many hidden details.

This seven-year-old talent show, “Born Idol,” became popular again. In the show, because Pei Xinglu had never learned dance, in order not to drag others down, he practiced day and night, sleeping only four or five hours a day, never giving up or complaining of misery. His cool and serious attitude of taking things seriously attracted many people, even turning anti-fans into fans.

【I was the show’s fan back then! It was because Pei Xinglu’s leaving the group caused Moonstar to dissolve that I disliked Pei Xinglu! It’s been seven years, and now you tell me he was the most aggrieved one!】

【Shit, I even feel sorry for Pei Dog. Just debuted, thought his star path would be bright, only to collide with a scheming teammate setting a trap, a lewd producer attempting unspoken rules, being banned, and being in debt. No wonder he’s phobic; it must have left psychological trauma.】

【[Image] Someone saw Pei Xinglu in an internet cafe seven years ago, and he was quite downcast. Making the news back then resulted in the entire net cursing him, and even smashing things, only to say that the truth has finally come to light.】

【Turning anti to fan. Only now do I understand the significance of that eye-roll in the ‘Folding Sword Journey’ leaked scenes, even thinking it was somewhat light. I have to say, Pei Dog, ptooey, Old Pei, can really endure. He’s a person who does great things, and until now, he hasn’t come out to post on Weibo.】

【Pei fans are crying loudly! Yu Zhihan, do you have a heart! For selfish gains, destroying a person! If ‘Nine Rings’ didn’t explode, would Pei-ge still be bearing huge contract violation fees right now? Hardworking, yet unable to fill that huge debt no matter what. How desperate you made him!】

…

Ling Suiyao’s brows were tightly locked.

He pressed his eyes, which pained from reading, staring with complexity at a potted green plant on the table.

From seven years ago to three years ago, when “Nine Rings” became extremely popular, during these four years, with what kind of mood did Pei Xinglu endure?

It’s also no wonder he had that attitude towards Yu Zhihan. And no wonder on the day of filming, when he advised him to restrain himself a bit, he suddenly got angry.

At the same time, at a distance of five hundred li from City A, in the outskirts of a small county town with green hills and clear waters, weeping willows were fluttering in the cemetery.

Pei Xinglu took the roses his grandmother liked to plant most during her lifetime, arranged them into a bouquet, and placed them in front of the tombstone.

Silently burning spirit money.

Grandmother died in a car accident.

At that age, seven years ago, she should have been peacefully enjoying happiness at home, but for her pitiable grandson, she still drove a tricycle full of vegetables and rice to do some small business. In winter, before daybreak, she set off, who would have thought she encountered a car accident and died on the spot…

Flames leaped.

Pei Xinglu closed his eyes and slowly breathed out.

May’s weather was bright and brilliant, and the sunlight was somewhat glaring.

Pei Xinglu finished burning the spirit money, put on his sunglasses, and drove away. Encountering a red light that was as long as ninety seconds, he lowered the car window and blew the wind for a while.

The phone’s WeChat notification sound kept ringing; it was probably greetings from within the circle again. He took a casual glance and was slightly stunned; it was Ling Suiyao.

【Suisui Nian Nian: Pei-ge, I’ve already woken up. Thank you for taking care of me last night. That… are you okay? Uncle Zhou said you were on a business trip these days and wouldn’t be back. I saw the news. Are you alright?】

Pei Xinglu rested one hand on the steering wheel, knocking it nonchalantly, while editing the message.

【PXL: No need for thanks, it was just a contract requirement.】

He originally wanted to reply with “I’m okay” or something like that.

The red light turned green, and the car behind had already started honking its horn. Pei Xinglu had no choice but to put down his phone and step on the gas.

Ling Suiyao looked at the reply on the WeChat interface, thinking in his heart that Pei-ge was still this cold.

He asked again when Pei-ge would be back, and the other party never replied.

His mood was probably not good either.

Ling Suiyao didn’t think too much, continuing to browse Weibo. After thinking, he asked Ling Jing for the video of the audition, then logged into his own main account that he hadn’t used for a long time, and posted a Weibo message.

He bought a hot search, and it soon rose to the top position.

When Pei Xinglu saw it, he had already returned to City A.

Sui Ning V: I was sick for the past two days, very sorry to only come out to clarify now. There was no inside story to the casting of ‘Folding Sword Journey’. The choice of the male lead was also approved unanimously by the director, screenwriter, etc. [Video] This is the audition video at the time; Pei Xinglu is the most suitable for Meng Ce.

Subsequently, the official Weibo of “Folding Sword Journey” forwarded this Weibo, and maliciously attached Yu Zhihan’s video auditioning for the male lead.

【Sui Ning! You finally remembered your password! What about the new book!】

【It was the same scene, right? Yu Zhihan was completely instantly killed into dregs; how did he dare to buy press releases boasting about being the destined Meng Ce? If we really talk about destined, then it’s Pei Xinglu who is destined, right?】

【Yu Zhihan must be furious to death, hahaha, no matter how you’re jealous, you will always live under Pei Xinglu’s shadow, seven years ago it was like this, and seven years later it’s still like this.】

【Pei Xinglu’s acting is also too good, without makeup, costumes, or scene, he could act so well! The infection power is so strong, and the young man playing opposite him is also not bad, the emotions are all well in place.】

As they watched, the topic unexpectedly strayed.

【Wuwuwu, passing as an original book fan, who understands the heart of a CP fan, it’s broken completely, how did the junior brothers end up in a situation where they are separated by life and death, I cried to death when reading the book, I can’t believe when the TV drama broadcasts to this scene, I will have to cry to death again…】

【Passing by, taking a sip, Meng-Zhao is powerful, BE aesthetics reigns supreme. In addition, in three seconds, I want all information about the young man playing opposite him.】

【The one playing opposite seems to be Sui Ning, the clothes feel very similar, does anyone of you have saved that photo? Compare it.】

【It is Sui Ning! Shit, it turns out Sui Ning, you’re this good-looking! ‘Folding Sword Journey’ is about to be reprinted, when are you preparing for a book signing event!】

【So well-suited as Zhao Zhaoyan, and oddly enough, with Pei Xinglu, this kind of high-cold, preachy male god, they actually have a sense of CP.】

【Damn it, I’ll say it straight out, they are a perfect match, okay?】

…

Sense of CP?

Pei Xinglu watched the audition video several times, and he strangely felt that this netizen was somewhat right.

Shocked to the point of getting goosebumps by this idea, he hurried to get out of the car.

Butler Zhou opened the door for him, “Mr. Pei is back just in time, let’s eat together, the young master has also just started…”

Looking back, Ling Suiyao wasn’t in the dining room, but his phone was left beside the bowl and chopsticks.

Pei Xinglu took a casual glance and couldn’t help pausing.

In the album, besides the audition video, there were several rows of photos from the new product launch of Luming Jewelry, and this angle was somewhat similar to what “Suisui’s Small Rice Cake” sent him.

It must be a coincidence, Suisui’s Small Rice Cake was also there that night, so it’s normal to happen to take photos from a similar angle.

Just as he was about to see a bit clearer, the phone screen just happened to turn off.

What was even more coincidental was that Ling Suiyao was coming downstairs holding a tablet, “Pei-ge, you’re back!”

Pei Xinglu: “…”

Pretending to go over and pick up a cherry.

He wasn’t secretly looking at someone else’s phone.

Ling Suiyao said, “The crew there has already decided to change people; they might lean towards Qi Ting playing Zhong Yuheng. Sorry, Pei-ge, I didn’t know about what happened between you and Yu Zhihan. Very sorry about that night, I shouldn’t have said that.”

His complexion was much better, and there was vitality on his fair face. When he spoke, his round, grape-like eyes kept looking at Pei Xinglu, but it didn’t make people feel offended at all; instead, he was sincere and cute.

Pei Xinglu took the cherry into his mouth, shifted his gaze, and said indifferently: “It’s not a big deal, I was also a bit impulsive.”

Ling Suiyao immediately smiled, “Pei-ge is the best.”

Pei Xinglu bit through the cherry, the juice splashing sweet, and bit his tongue.
