After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 49

Lin Xin debuted at the age of 6 and has been in the industry for 19 years.

In the entertainment industry, this is considered an old-timer. Furthermore, Lin Xin is one of the few actresses who has been in the industry since she was 6 years old.

Even though she is only 25 years old, she is considered a seasoned veteran.

Therefore, when faced with an unexpected situation like this, she didn’t lose her temper like a rookie. When she heard Meng Bai’s question that was off the script, Lin Xin didn’t get up hysterically and yell. She also didn’t talk about a breach of contract.

She knew very well that with Meng Bai’s more than ten years of hosting experience, since she asked the question, she must have been fully prepared. For the sake of ratings, she would even be willing to breach the contract.

Most of the time, celebrities have no right to privacy.

So, Lin Xin also understood that her every move and expression would be broadcast. No matter what kind of effect the show wanted, Lin Xin was not going to let them have their way.

She had been in the entertainment industry for 19 years, and she had also gone through many ups and downs. No matter how shy she was like a little girl in front of the person she loved, she was still a veteran who had experienced storms.

After hearing Meng Bai’s words, the audience was all full of question marks. An illegitimate child? That means a child born out of wedlock?

This explosive news was shocking enough. The audience’s eyes immediately moved to Lin Xin’s face, but Lin Xin had a cold expression and didn’t show any emotions.

Her eyes only flickered when she heard the question, and she quickly regained her composure.

Meng Bai on the other side smiled, not feeling embarrassed at all.

Lin Xin also smiled. At this moment, the two of them were no longer good friends who hadn’t seen each other in a long time. They had their own camps and were confronting each other.

[The atmosphere is so tense!]

[So, what Meng Bai said is true?]

[What does “illegitimate child” mean?]

[Her mom was probably a mistress, right?]

[Are you asking for a death wish? Aren’t you afraid of getting attacked by the Morning Star fans?]

[If you dare to be a mistress, don’t be afraid of people talking about you.]

[You guys are going too far. Even if her mom was, it has nothing to do with Xinbao.]

[You should know that there’s a word in this world called “original sin”! Her birth is a sin!]

[What a joke. Can a person choose where they are born? Do you think Xinbao wanted this?]

[The person above is definitely a hater. My Xinbao can’t be a mistress’s child!]

The comments were in chaos because of Meng Bai’s words. The comments from fans and passersby were all mixed together.

Meanwhile, on the screen, Lin Xin didn’t panic and said, “Although I know you’re very curious, this is my family’s private matter, and I don’t want to talk about it on screen.” She even joked, “After all, this isn’t a show for settling family disputes.”

[Hahaha, the show for settling family disputes is always about crazy things. I didn’t expect a celebrity to watch it too!]

[Ah, what kind of show is that? How come I don’t know?]

[It’s better not to know. Don’t go searching for it. It’s so depressing to watch.]

[It’s the favorite show of gossipy aunts.]

On the screen, Meng Bai laughed at Lin Xin’s words. “We’re just a chat show. Just think of it as a casual chat. Speaking of which, you’ve really never mentioned your family’s matters.”

Lin Xin sat up straight, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip. She then asked Meng Bai, “Since I’ve never mentioned it, where did you get this information?”

Meng Bai was stunned. She couldn’t help but sigh. She’s a veteran in the entertainment industry after all.

Meng Bai: “We have our own sources, but I believe that there must be some misunderstanding about this ‘illegitimate child’ matter.”

Lin Xin smiled. “There’s no misunderstanding. My mother and my biological father really weren’t married.”

Meng Bai’s expression went blank. She had thought that Lin Xin would definitely explain. But instead, she chose to be honest.

Of course, the audience in the comments was also shocked.

[Wow, is she admitting it?]

[Don’t be so quick. Since she dared to say it, there must be a hidden story.]

Meng Bai indeed wanted what the audience wanted. She immediately asked, “Is there a reason for this?”

Lin Xin: “The reason is a long story, and there are too many people involved. I think as a younger person, it’s not good for me to be too blunt.”

Meng Bai nodded. “But, the person who revealed the information did mention something. They said that you were born after your mother and father broke up, and your mother decided not to get an abortion.”

Lin Xin’s voice suddenly turned cold, and she sneered, “Are the words of a gambler so trustworthy?”

Meng Bai was stunned. Lin Xin was indeed provoked by these words, and she spoke directly, “There are only a few people who know about these things. The person who would talk about it must be my biological father, right? If you believe him… then I have nothing to say.”

Lin Xin got up and left. She left with a noble back for the people watching on the screen.

[This is a lot of information. They really weren’t married, but she wasn’t left behind after a breakup.]

[Listening to that, it sounds more like the child of a mistress, right?]

[No matter what, I really admire her for daring to storm off during the recording.]

[The production team must have breached the contract, so what are you afraid of!!!]

In fact, after the recording ended that day, Lin Xin had talked to the person in charge about this. She had never wanted to bring these things to the screen and didn’t want to be judged.

But the TV station would rather breach the contract than promise to cut this part. Although Lin Xin had expected it, she was still very angry at the time. She was also sad and thought about seeing Ye Linghua and telling her about this.

But as soon as the elevator door opened, she saw that Ye Linghua had a wound on her forehead. Lin Xin was so distraught that she completely forgot about the recording and confronted the fans.

Then, one thing after another happened, and with Ye Linghua’s departure, Lin Xin’s mind was no longer on the recording.

Although Meng Kelin tried her best to come up with a solution, things never developed according to a plan, and Meng Kelin was also afraid that she wouldn’t be able to handle it well.

Lin Xin was also worried, afraid that it would affect her future career development. She had just left Yun Tian. Although her contract had expired and there was no breach of contract fee.

The studio was also operating with money from investors. Not to mention, Meng Kelin had invested most of her savings.

If something happened to her, what would happen to Meng Kelin’s money? What about her own future?

As expected, someone in the comments was already setting the tone.

[I remember that her dad had his own marriage. She must be a mistress’s child!]

[Don’t spread rumors. Lin Xin has never mentioned her dad on the show.]

[You don’t have to. Someone will always leak it.]

[That’s right. When Lin Xin was little, her parents used to follow her when she was filming. Later, she signed with a company. When she was interviewed as a child, she also said that her dad had another family. We thought her parents were divorced back then!]

[Since you’re saying that, I remember most of the rumors said that her dad was a gambler and had lost a lot of the money Lin Xin had earned.]

[The rumors also said that her mom spent a lot of her money. Lin Xin is so miserable.]

[Don’t change the subject. An illegitimate child, and not one from a breakup. I don’t believe that she wasn’t an intruder in a relationship.]

The comments were arguing fiercely, but the video had not ended yet.

Lin Xin frowned. The recording had ended there, but the video still had 5 minutes left. But she hadn’t recorded anything else. What could be played for 5 minutes?

As it turned out, Lin Xin had underestimated how shameless the TV station was.

The first few dozen seconds showed Lin Xin leaving the studio, which was normal. Ending the show with this would also have been fine.

But then, it directly showed the footage of Ye Linghua getting injured in the parking lot and Lin Xin losing control, standing in front of Ye Linghua and scolding the fans. But this part was short. The main part was the footage of Lin Xin taking Ye Linghua back to the company and bandaging her wound.

When they got to the company, the footage became clearer.

The most beautiful part was Lin Xin standing in front of Ye Linghua. Ye Linghua was sitting, tilting her head slightly to let her better treat the wound.

This scene was in contrast to the scene of the two of them drying their hair in Dusk. It felt like a time travel, making people subconsciously believe that they were lovers.

After all, the affection in Ye Linghua’s eyes when she looked up at her was not something that could be acted out.

And Lin Xin’s worried expression and gentle movements were a strong contrast to how she looked during the interview.

[Are these two dating?]

Even the audience who didn’t know anything about the two of them had this question at this moment.

[Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! They’re really a couple!!!]

[What’s the difference between this and announcing it?]

[I’m a solo fan, but this is making it very difficult for me.]

[As a passerby, I just want to say—I want to get into this!!! Are there any other sisters who want to join me!!!]

[Lin Xin did post on Weibo before, scolding stalker fans for following her and injuring her assistant.]

[That’s right, that was a trending topic, I remember.]

[No wonder no one posted a video. If they had, it would have been hard to explain. Hahaha.]

[So, the production team is really unethical!]

[It’s not logical that the stalker fans didn’t post a video!!!]

[That’s right! Why would something like this have to wait for the show to air?]

Looking at this comment, Ye Linghua sighed. She also didn’t expect that Meng Kelin hadn’t handled the TV station matter properly. If she had known this earlier, she would have taken care of the TV station’s footage at the same time as she was dealing with the stalker fans’ videos.

However, more than these things, what the audience wanted to know now was Lin Xin’s background.

Ye Linghua slowly narrowed her eyes, blaming herself for not investigating. Now, she could only start from the beginning. And she had to get the information faster than those people.

It was a principle she had known from the very beginning.

But she was softhearted.

After sending out the information she needed to investigate, Ye Linghua couldn’t help but lean against the back of her chair and think: I said I wouldn’t interfere, but it seems I was just deceiving myself!

After the show ended, because of Lin Xin’s explosive news, it quickly became a trending topic.

The search volume remained high, and the views on the video platform were constantly increasing.

On Weibo, there were all kinds of speculations about Lin Xin’s background.

Some gossipy fans left sarcastic comments.

[I don’t care if it’s revealed or not. I just want to see the gossip. @Zheng Lanwen, you were married for five years. Didn’t you know?]

[Whoa, is the person above crazy! Tagging someone’s ex-wife, aren’t you worried about the situation getting bigger?]

[All we know now is that she’s an illegitimate child and her dad is a gambler. Nothing is set in stone yet, but based on my years of experience in this gossip, this is not over yet. The follow-up should be even more exciting! Hehe.]

Even passersby were in a mood to watch the drama unfold. The fans of those who were against Lin Xin were even more crazy.

They had already started to conclude in various forums that Lin Xin was a mistress’s child. One person’s rumor becomes ten people’s rumor. When so many people spread a rumor, a lie can turn into the truth.

As Meng Kelin had said, these posts quickly became a trending topic and were tagged with “hot.” The more people who saw it, the more people questioned it.

And this matter had not been resolved yet.

While Meng Kelin was at her wit’s end, Ye Linghua had just started her investigation.

And at this moment, Lin Xin’s father, Lin Haiqi, called the studio. His demand was simple: he wanted money!

Meng Kelin laughed at the time. “When I helped you pay off your last gambling debt, I told you that we wouldn’t owe each other anything anymore.”

“I don’t care. I just want money.” The man on the other end was really short on money, so he wasn’t listening to any of her nonsense.

Meng Kelin held back her anger and told him, “She doesn’t have any money now.”

The man said, “Then borrow it. She has a wide network, so she must have a place to borrow from.”

When Meng Kelin heard this, she was furious. “Dream on!!!”

The man on the other side said, “You won’t borrow? I have more information.”

Meng Kelin was speechless. Sometimes, having a terrible family member is more tragic than anything else!

But if she just accepted this fate, she would be threatened by him forever! What did Lin Xin do wrong! What was she afraid of!

You can’t build if you don’t destroy!

I’m tired of writing. I’ll stop here! Good night, I’ll write more when I have time.
