After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 44

Lin Xin looked up at Ye Linghua blankly. The redness around her eyes and her moist gaze were like a pear blossom covered in raindrops, moving people’s hearts.

She really was crying.

Ye Linghua’s heart softened. She reached up and wiped away the tear from Lin Xin’s chin. She said gently, “I’m fine.”

Lin Xin’s gaze shifted to the wound. The hand Ye Linghua was using to cover the wound was no longer bleeding, but the red on the side of her face was still so shocking.

The fans outside the elevator saw that Lin Xin wasn’t resisting when Ye Linghua was touching her. It was as if what the Morning Star couple fans had said was true—they had a secret.

The fans anxiously said, “Xinbao, don’t let her fool you again.”

“Yeah, she did it on purpose to get your sympathy.”

“That’s right! She even tried to hit us! If you don’t believe us, you can check the surveillance footage.”

Lin Xin was already worried about Ye Linghua’s face. When she heard the fans say that Ye Linghua had intentionally gotten hurt, her last nerve snapped.

She turned to face the fans and asked in a cold voice, “Are you saying… Ye Linghua intentionally cut her face to deceive me?”

Although it was a question, the answer was obvious in her heart. The fans outside thought about it and couldn’t answer.

Would someone who relied on their looks to get ahead ruin their face? Wouldn’t that be foolish?

Besides, a minor injury was one thing, but something that would leave a scar on their face…

No one would really do that!

The fans seemed to have sobered up. They looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Lin Xin took a deep breath. “You are my fans, and I appreciate your support. But, Ye Linghua is my private life. Can you please… stop invading my private life?”

In short, she felt that the fans had crossed a line.

The fans were immediately embarrassed. They could only manage to blurt out, “We’re doing this for your own good!”

Lin Xin: “But you… hurt her!”

Leaving those words behind, Lin Xin pressed the button to close the doors.

Later, more staff members arrived. They drove the fans out of the building and gave the security guards at the entrance a good scolding.

Lin Xin took Ye Linghua back upstairs. A staff member found a first aid kit for them.

Lin Xin sat Ye Linghua down on a chair, opened the first aid kit, took out some iodine, and looked at Ye Linghua. “Let go of your hand!”

Ye Linghua smiled slightly. “Let someone else do it!”

Lin Xin frowned. “I can do it. I have experience.” Actors often got hurt during filming. Back when there were no “popular stars,” everyone was a meticulous actor. It was common to bleed during a fight scene.

Lin Xin had gone through a lot of scrapes over the years. With enough practice, she had become a doctor.

Besides, this was a simple wound to treat.

Ye Linghua saw how serious she was. After thinking about it, she let go of her hand. A wound of about 8 centimeters was exposed to the air and to Lin Xin’s eyes.

The tears that Lin Xin had managed to stop started to fall again.

Ye Linghua chuckled. “Don’t cry. I don’t rely on my looks to get by.”

Lin Xin: “But you do!”

Ye Linghua: “…” She can still joke around. She must be okay.

Lin Xin couldn’t describe the sadness in her heart. She also blamed herself for her fans causing this. While crying uncontrollably, she didn’t forget to put medicine on the wound.

Ye Linghua, the one who was hurt, felt both heartache and amusement. At the same time, she felt a subtle sense of anticipation.

Later, a staff member from the TV station drove the car from the parking lot to the back entrance. Ye Linghua and Lin Xin were finally able to leave the TV station, which was full of fans.

When they got home, Lin Xin took Ye Linghua to her room to rest.

Ye Linghua watched her leave with red eyes. She had wanted to reach out and grab her several times, but she held back in the end.

She told herself that it wasn’t the right time yet.

Even though Lin Xin’s feelings were so obvious…

Ye Linghua watched her leave, closed the door, and went to rest.

The next day, Meng Kelin heard about it and went to see Ye Linghua herself. Although the wound was large, it wasn’t deep. The only problem was that it was on her face, and it was hard to say whether it would leave a scar.

To call this bad luck was an understatement!

Meng Kelin looked at her beautiful face and couldn’t help but feel sorry. She said, “You should go to the hospital! Maybe you won’t get a scar.”

Ye Linghua nodded. “I will. You guys just do what you need to do.”

Meng Kelin was getting anxious. “Don’t act like it’s no big deal!”

Ye Linghua, however, was very optimistic, like a person who didn’t care about fame or fortune. She just said, “If it leaves a scar, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Meng Kelin: “…You’re a person who relies on your looks to get by. You’re too calm.”

Ye Linghua: “…I don’t agree with you saying that. Why do I rely on my looks to get by?”

Meng Kelin chuckled. “I would have nothing to say if you had any other skills to do this housekeeping job.” After all, everyone can cook, but the person you hire must be better than others! Does Ye Linghua have that?

Ye Linghua’s breath hitched. She guiltily turned her head. “Didn’t I get you an investment?”

Meng Kelin just remembered that this person in front of her was also a gem! She was great at getting investments! She quickly nodded. “You’re right.” Then, she looked at Lin Xin and scolded her. “And you, how many times have I told you? Stalker fans are dangerous.”

When she saw Meng Kelin scolding Lin Xin, Ye Linghua explained for her. “Since they’re stalker fans, it’s not something Lin Xin can control.”

Meng Kelin sighed. “That’s true, but posting on social media would have some effect. You always say that being a fan is not easy. Is it easy for me? I get scolded with 70,000 comments a day. Sigh, look at me. I’ve lived half my life. If I was a little more fragile, I’d probably have an emotional breakdown.”

As soon as she finished, Lin Xin said, “I know it was my fault this time. I just posted on social media.”

She did?!

Meng Kelin was shocked. She thought that Ye Linghua’s injury must have triggered her. Fearing that she would do something impulsive, she quickly opened her phone to look at Lin Xin’s social media.

Fortunately, when she opened it, the comment section was still harmonious. She then read Lin Xin’s post.

Lin Xin V: [Regarding the fans who ambushed my assistant at my workplace yesterday, which resulted in an injury to her face, I hope my fans will take this as a warning and that similar incidents will not happen again in the future. I also hope that the fans who were present and got violent can sincerely apologize to my assistant.

As an idol, I have not guided you well, and that is my fault. But I also hope that fans can distinguish between the internet and reality, and try to stay away from your idol’s private life, giving each other more space. As for those who illegally sell information and block the entrance, I hope fans can understand that this is against the law!!!

As someone you claim to love, I hope that the stars can work with me to create a better future in a legal and pleasant environment.]

Seeing this, Meng Kelin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was nothing too extreme in the post.

And when Lin Xin posted it, the company’s public relations team had noticed it immediately. The studio was the first to repost it. Then, a head of a fan group took the lead in controlling the comments, and the comment section was peaceful.

It seemed that the public relations team she had hired for a large sum of money had done its job.

[What? Which fans blocked the entrance?]

[Is the assistant injured? Who did that? That’s too much!]

[Fortunately, it wasn’t Xinbao who got hurt. Those people must not be fans. They must be spies sent by the other side.]

[Let’s revoke their fan status!]

[It’s a known fact that stalkers are not fans. Thanks.]

[Xinbao, please take good care of yourself!]

In addition to the fans’ concerns, some fans of other celebrities said some unpleasant things. But fortunately, this incident involved a physical assault. Even when it trended, everyone was scolding the fans who had no boundaries.

Meng Kelin didn’t see any other companies trying to sabotage them on the trending topics. She was relieved and sent a message to the group to keep an eye on things. Then, she put her phone away.

Since Ye Linghua was injured, she naturally became a guest of honor. She didn’t have to do any of the housework and could enjoy the food made by Lin Xin, the owner of the house.

After lunch, Lin Xin told Meng Kelin that there had been a problem with the recording.

So, the two of them went to the bedroom together. Ye Linghua resisted her curiosity and didn’t go to listen to what they were talking about. Instead, she went back to her room.

At that moment, her phone group chat was filled with messages. The group with the most messages was, of course, the one with her friends.

At this moment, everyone was checking on Ye Linghua.

Mengpo Soup: [No way! Hua, I heard you got hurt? How are you?]

Poison*: [I sent you a bottle of medicine. It’s great for scars. Remember to get it.]

A Sad Ending: [Are you okay? If not, come back first! Your wife won’t run away.]

Music Moves the Soul: [That’s right! I’ll find someone to keep an eye on her for you.]

Just in a Second: [But, Hua, you always say that physical strength is the best way to save yourself. So, how did you get hurt?]

Since Ye Linghua hadn’t responded, the people who had asked kept sending messages.

Poison*: [Say something, or I’m sending poison.]

Mengpo Soup: [This person… is she trying to get a hug from Lin Xin?]

A Sad Ending: [If you put it that way… I can’t even imagine it.]

Just in a Second: [I told you to show weakness last time. Is this how you’re doing it?]

Music Moves the Soul: [You guys are exaggerating. Who would be foolish enough to ruin their face just to show weakness?!]

Ye Linghua: “…”

Then, she typed a response to the group of friends who were pretending to be concerned but were really just gossiping. [Thanks for the reminder. It’s indeed a good time to show weakness. Don’t bother me.]

Poison*: [Damn, I’m so jealous.]

Mengpo Soup: [How’s the wound?]

Just in a Second: [I’m not kidding. Come back and get it treated first! Let Swallow take a look at it. She’s great at that stuff.]

Ye Linghua: […It’s not bad enough to ruin my face.]

Poison*: [I’m not a beautician!!! I’m a doctor.]

Ye Linghua: [You’re not needed for a wound like this…]

A Sad Ending: [What do you guys know? It’s just that no one is bandaging it for her! Hahahahaha…]

When Ye Linghua saw this message, she couldn’t help but smile. In the end, she responded as they had wished. [Yeah, I’m in a good mood. Don’t worry.]

[Damn, I’m so jealous again.]

[I want to find a wife, too, wuwuwu!]

[Go for it, Hua!!! We’re waiting for good news.]

That day, Meng Kelin stayed in the study with Lin Xin until very late.

When Ye Linghua came downstairs, she heard Meng Kelin’s voice coming from the study.

The two of them walked to the door. Meng Kelin sighed. “I’ll handle this. The result might not be good, but it won’t be too bad.”

She turned and walked a few steps, then stopped and said, “I’ve seen the surveillance footage. You were too emotional when Ye Linghua was injured yesterday. Fortunately, I got the footage early. It shouldn’t be out there. But there were many fans present, and someone might have noticed something.”

Lin Xin: “…What did they notice?”

Meng Kelin looked at her sideways. She saw that even though Lin Xin was saying that, her ears were red. She clearly knew what had happened. Lin Xin falling for her was unexpected for Meng Kelin. She had thought that it would take at least a year or two for Lin Xin to get over her heartbreak from Zheng Lanwen.

Although she had gotten over it early, it wasn’t a bad thing. They say that the best way to heal a broken heart is to start a new relationship.

But the matter with Zheng Lanwen wasn’t that simple. Lin Xin wasn’t so quick to accept a new relationship.

Meng Kelin: “If you want to avoid a bad reputation, then you should stay away from her as much as possible. Otherwise, don’t blame others for saying you like her. The Morning Star couple is a good fan group, and it has great potential. I also want to develop it. But, everything is still up to you.”

When Ye Linghua heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She didn’t know why, but she quickly hid in a blind spot where the two of them couldn’t see her.

Lin Xin was touched by Meng Kelin’s words, but she also knew that the studio wasn’t just hers. There were many employees to support, and she couldn’t be too impulsive.

So, she said, “I guess I’m a boss now, so I’ll think about it.”

Meng Kelin smiled and said with relief, “Xinxin, you’ve really grown up. But I’m not just saying empty words. I watched you grow up, so I hope you can be happy more than the company. It’s not easy for you to start a new relationship. Are you really ready? More importantly, do you still like the old one? Or do you like this new one? Have you figured it out?”

Lin Xin’s face flushed. She couldn’t say that she had no feelings for her ex-wife just a few months after their divorce. Her and Zheng Lanwen’s problems weren’t just in the last few months of their marriage. The problems had existed since the beginning of their marriage. Lin Xin had expected their divorce.

Her heart hadn’t turned cold in a day or two. A few months were enough to drain the feelings from those years, but it wasn’t enough to heal the pain she had suffered.

She could think of Zheng Lanwen calmly, but she couldn’t approach Ye Linghua without her heart beating. Lin Xin thought she did like her. But it wasn’t that easy to completely let go and accept her.

A wounded heart needed time to heal, and a new relationship needed new motivation.

Meng Kelin understood Lin Xin’s feelings. And she herself hoped that Lin Xin could get through this period well and not rush into a new relationship too early. It wasn’t just for Lin Xin’s own good in her relationship, but also for her reputation online. A divorce just a few months ago and a new relationship coming out too early would easily get her labeled as heartless on the internet.

For example, when Zheng Lanwen got close to Lin Wan too early, even without evidence, netizens thought that Zheng Lanwen had cheated on Lin Xin, and Lin Wan was the mistress.

The same thing would happen to Lin Xin.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and everything that needed to be advised had been advised. Meng Kelin was ready to leave, and Lin Xin walked her to the door.

When the two of them went to the entrance, Ye Linghua came out of the shadows. She took out her phone and searched for “Morning Star.”

When she saw the couple’s fan group pop up, she saw the familiar fan group profile picture and knew what couple it was. Her heart immediately sank.

Ye Linghua smiled bitterly. ” ‘I’ll think about it,’ huh? Haha, she really is a good boss!”
