After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 43

Underground parking lots were always dim and quiet. Occasionally, a fan would manage to slip past the security guards, duck under a parking barrier, and sneak in to ambush their idol.

The head of the Linglu couple fan group was a very experienced fan. She had told everyone in the group chat early on that Lin Xin would most likely not leave in a car from the main entrance.

So, the group of couple fans had banded together and snuck in, avoiding the security guards.

The fans who were supposed to be a diversion couldn’t get in, so they asked the fans who had gotten in to take as many pictures as possible.

In addition to the Linglu couple fans, a few solo fans also followed them in.

They calculated the time and felt that Lin Xin should be finishing soon. They gathered at the elevator and got closer to the door when they heard the sound of the elevator, hoping to see their idol as soon as it opened.

Who would have thought that the doors would open and their idol would not be there, but her assistant would?

The assistant came out of the elevator with a confused look on her face.

Surrounded by so many people, Ye Linghua was, of course, confused. This group of fans surrounded the elevator, not even leaving a single gap. Ye Linghua couldn’t get past them to find the car.

She looked around and confirmed that these people were indeed the fans who had been waiting for Lin Xin at the main entrance on the first floor. A few of them had unique hairstyles and very bright clothes, which made them easy to remember.

Then, Ye Linghua noticed that the name on the banner they were holding didn’t match Lin Xin’s. It said “Linglu,” which made Ye Linghua frown in confusion.

She then remembered hearing something about “Little Morning Star.” At first, she was confused, but after thinking about it, when she had waited for Lin Xin on the first floor during the filming of the show, there was also a group of fans at the entrance. They were clearly Lin Xin’s fans, but they were holding a “Morning Star” banner.

Although she hadn’t figured it out yet, Ye Linghua knew she was Lin Xin’s assistant and that these fans knew that. If she acted too cold, it might reflect badly on Lin Xin as an idol.

So, Ye Linghua gave a rare smile to this group of strangers. “Hello, are you waiting for Lin Xin?”

The fans were surprised. They didn’t expect the assistant to be so nice. But they quickly became cold again. The fan holding the banner was a head of the couple fan group. She was most concerned about Ye Linghua’s identity, so she asked her, “Are you the one who filmed the music video with Xinbao?”

The most complete shot of her in the music video was a side view. Although they were 80% sure it was her, they weren’t 100% sure.

The only music video Ye Linghua and Lin Xin had worked on together was Dusk. There was nothing scandalous in it, and there really was nothing to hide.

Ye Linghua nodded. When the fans saw her admit it, they huddled together and started chattering.

The fan holding the banner was immediately unhappy. Who wouldn’t want their couple to be real? So, she asked Ye Linghua in a slightly hostile tone, “Don’t you know you should avoid her?”

Ye Linghua raised an eyebrow. She and Lin Xin weren’t anything, so where did this talk of avoiding each other come from?

Besides, she was in the process of wooing her. How could she woo her if she was avoiding her? So, she looked at the fan and chuckled. “Why should I avoid her?”

Although Ye Linghua’s tone was calm and not at all provocative, everyone went silent for a moment. They looked at Ye Linghua with dissatisfaction, their brows slightly furrowed.

Among this group of fans was a solo fan of Lin Xin and a career fan. She had stopped being a fan for a while because of Lin Xin’s relationship with Zheng Lanwen. She only became a fan again after Lin Xin’s comeback and her popular song Dusk.

After becoming a fan again, she found that Lin Xin’s career hadn’t even taken off yet, and she was already getting involved in an ambiguous relationship with someone else, forming a “Morning Star” couple. That was enough to make her, a career fan, speechless. Then, to make things worse, a “Linglu” couple was formed.

From a career fan’s perspective, this was a complete distraction.

To make matters worse, Lin Xin’s own studio hadn’t gotten many good resources.

Everyone started to look for a reason. A head of the solo fan group felt that many stars were taking shortcuts by faking relationships. Lin Xin must have been blinded by the benefits and wanted to become popular again by faking a relationship.

For a career fan, this was a huge blow. Wouldn’t it be better to become popular again by filming good shows than by faking a relationship?

But since they were fans, they wouldn’t scold their idol. But they would definitely blame the team! But since Lin Xin had her own studio now, scolding the team was the same as scolding Lin Xin.

So, a group of fans believed that the manager was forcing her to do this and started leaving comments on the studio’s social media accounts to scold Meng Kelin.

Of course, another group of fans believed that Ye Linghua was the one who was seducing her, just like Zheng Lanwen. Now, another Ye Linghua had appeared.

Pretty boys were like this. They made Xinbao unable to focus on her work.

The solo fan was already unhappy about Lin Xin faking a relationship. To make matters worse, this assistant, who had gained some fame from the couple, had the nerve to say that? She felt that the assistant was as thick-skinned as a city wall, so she said angrily, “You’re just an assistant. You’re not worthy of Lin Xin.”

Ye Linghua looked at her. “Oh, but love is a matter of two hearts. Why do you have to care about the difference in status?”

The fan said, “In our country, we’ve always cared about a good match. Why wouldn’t we care?”

Ye Linghua added coldly, “Because it doesn’t matter even if you do care!”

With that single sentence, the fan’s eyebrows furrowed in anger.

This solo fan was someone who was easily provoked. When she heard what Ye Linghua said, she lost all sense of reason and tried to move forward.

The Linglu couple fans next to her saw this and quickly pulled her back, shouting, “Solo fan, calm down! Don’t hit her!” From a couple fan’s perspective, the solo fans were their idol’s fans, so they were their people. Even if they didn’t interact, the couple fans didn’t want to see the solo fans get hurt.

But the solo fan had already lost her mind. She pushed away the people who were blocking her and charged at Ye Linghua, trying to hit her. In an instant, Ye Linghua grabbed her wrist and twisted it behind her back.

In just one second, the fan was subdued by Ye Linghua and couldn’t move.

The other fans were shocked. How could she do that? Immediately, they started to make a commotion.

“She hit her! She hit her!”

“How can someone with such unstable emotions be Xinbao’s assistant?”

“Exactly, exactly.”

“The studio has to fire her. She’s going to cause trouble for Xinbao.”

“That’s right! If this gets out, people are going to scold Xinbao.”

“An assistant dares to be so arrogant.”

“You better let her go! What are you going to do to Xinbao?”

The group of fans shouted and talked at the same time. They barely gave Ye Linghua any time to react. A group of them started to squeeze in Ye Linghua’s direction.

They shouted that they were going to rescue the solo fan, making it seem as if Ye Linghua was going to do something to her.

Ye Linghua frowned. She was in a difficult situation. She liked Lin Xin’s fans. But being surrounded and yelled at like this made Ye Linghua feel a little irritated.

Looking at the other fans reaching out to grab her, she was wondering if she should let go of the aggressive solo fan and run. Then, she heard the sound of the elevator dinging behind her. Faintly, through the thin elevator door, she could hear Lin Xin’s voice.

The moment the doors opened, Ye Linghua let go of the fan in her hand. At that moment, the fans on her right pushed her hard. At the same time, the solo fan she had let go of also turned and pushed her hard.

Under the force of both sides, Ye Linghua didn’t have time to move away. She fell forward to the left. Her left cheek scraped against the banner the fan was holding, and she fell to the ground. She immediately felt a sharp pain on her face.

The elevator doors opened completely, revealing Lin Xin and the two staff members who were with her.

Lin Xin’s face, which had been full of impatience and frustration, froze when she saw the scene outside.

The two staff members behind her were also stunned. The cold light from the elevator shone on them.

Ye Linghua covered her cheek with her left hand and stood up, looking at Lin Xin calmly.

Lin Xin’s pupils constricted. She quickly squeezed past the fans in front of the door and rushed to Ye Linghua’s side.

“Ye Linghua!” She leaned close to Ye Linghua. When she saw the blood flowing from between her fingers, Lin Xin’s heart sank. All the things that had been bothering her vanished into thin air.

All she could see was blood, and all she could think of was, What do I do?

“What happened?” She angrily grabbed Ye Linghua’s hand, wanting to pull it away to see the wound.

But Ye Linghua was using strength to hide her injury, so Lin Xin couldn’t pull it off.

Ye Linghua lowered her eyes, hiding her emotions, and said sadly, “I’m fine.”

Lin Xin: “You’re bleeding!” It’s on your face, on your face!

Her anxiety was indescribable. Her eyes turned red, and tears were about to fall. In the quiet underground parking lot, only Lin Xin’s anxious shouts could be heard. In the empty space, she could even hear echoes.

Lin Xin looked at the fans surrounding Ye Linghua. She asked in a disbelieving tone, “You guys were hiding here to hit her?”

The solo fan was clearly scared, but she still remembered not to admit it. She quickly said to Lin Xin, “Xinbao, we didn’t hit her.”

Linglu Couple Fan: “That’s right, that’s right. She was the one who started it.”

Over 10 fans were squeezed together, anxiously trying to explain. But what had just happened was so fast. They were all so anxious that they couldn’t remember who had grabbed her or pushed her.

She had really fallen, and her face had really been hurt by the banner. It was as if she had a hundred mouths, and she still couldn’t explain it.

Ye Linghua didn’t explain anything. She just lowered her head slightly and stood obediently in front of Lin Xin.

Lin Xin was so anxious she started to pace. All she knew was that if she had a cut on her face, she would be scarred!

“How could you do this? How could you do this!!!” She almost screamed at the fans. “Why would you block her? Why would you fight?” Meng Kelin had told her again and again about the dangers of stalker fans, but she had never taken it seriously.

It was as if it was karma, making Ye Linghua suffer for her!

All the fans were so scared by Lin Xin’s accusations that they didn’t dare to speak. And because they had caused trouble, they all stood there looking hesitant.

“It’s okay.” Ye Linghua grabbed Lin Xin’s wrist and said, “I don’t care.”

“How can you not care?” Lin Xin’s voice was trembling. She looked at the staff members behind Ye Linghua and said, “Do you have a first aid kit in the company? Please get one for me.”

After saying that, she went to help Ye Linghua. “Let’s go upstairs first. Let’s put some medicine on it, okay?”

Ye Linghua looked at her and shook her head. “You’ve been recording all day. You must be tired. Go home first!”

Lin Xin was so angry she felt like she was going to die. “Don’t say things like that at a time like this.”

Ye Linghua saw that she was truly anxious and no longer objected.

Then, Lin Xin took her and tried to go back to the elevator. Lin Xin didn’t even want to look at the group of fans behind her.

She didn’t care if the fans talked about this in their fan groups or on social media later. She didn’t care about her image in the fans’ eyes. All she knew was that a group of almost 20 fans had blocked the way for her. And Ye Linghua, who had gone down first, was injured by them on her face.

She couldn’t understand how a group of people could bully one person. She also couldn’t understand how something like this could happen.

Just as the two of them were about to get into the elevator, a girl from the fan group, whose voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, spoke up.

But because the underground parking lot was so quiet, everyone could hear her question.

“Xinbao, do you care that much? You’re even crying.”

Ye Linghua lowered her eyes to look at Lin Xin. She saw tears flowing down Lin Xin’s cheeks. The transparent tears, like fine crystals, hung from her chin, reflecting the silver light from the elevator.

The silent tears fell without Lin Xin even knowing it and landed on Ye Linghua’s heart.
