After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 50

Meng Kelin hung up the phone and couldn’t help but sneer. Lin Haiqi really thought too highly of himself!

She had long wanted to deal with Lin Haiqi privately but had always been mindful of Lin Xin and her family. Now that Lin Haiqi was back, she naturally couldn’t let him continue.

She was determined to handle Lin Haiqi, so she first contacted Mrs. Lin to get her support.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin seemed to have been waiting for the call and immediately picked up.

Meng Kelin was deliberating on how to begin when Mrs. Lin spoke first. “Is this about Haiqi?”

Meng Kelin laughed. “Did you also watch Meng Bai’s Chat Room, Madam?”

Mrs. Lin hummed softly. “I’m her mother, after all, and the matter has become such a big deal.”

Meng Kelin saw an opening and continued to complain. “Lin Haiqi called, saying he would reveal more if we don’t give him money.”

Mrs. Lin chuckled lightly, not taking it seriously. “What else could he possibly have? If it weren’t for my mother-in-law, how would Xinxi and I have tolerated him all this time? But my mother-in-law did it for her son, and I do it for my daughter. Tell Lin Xin not to worry about her grandmother’s feelings. Enduring for a while is a granddaughter’s filial piety. Enduring for a lifetime is a disservice to herself and to me.”

Meng Kelin felt a weight lift from her heart when she heard this.

Finally…

They had finally broken free from this cycle!!!

Meng Kelin was extremely satisfied with this response. Her tone was filled with joy. “With your words, Madam, I feel at ease. I’ll ask Lin Xin to come to the company to have a good talk.”

Mrs. Lin’s soft voice was like the misty rain of Jiangnan, always able to soothe people’s hearts. But at this moment, she wasn’t concerned about Lin Haiqi and instead asked, “What about that assistant?”

Meng Kelin paused, thinking that since she was Lin Xin’s mother, she might be able to offer Lin Xin some advice.

She told her about Ye Linghua coming to be a housekeeper and mentioned how Lin Xin and Ye Linghua had been mutually attracted, liked each other, and then avoided each other during this time, ending with Ye Linghua’s departure and Lin Xin’s heartbreak.

What came from Meng Kelin’s mouth was a very brief summary. After all, she wasn’t a party involved and didn’t know many of the details.

After listening, Mrs. Lin knew Meng Kelin’s account was not comprehensive, but she remembered Lin Xin’s phone call a while ago asking about the nanny interview. She knew that Lin Xin had truly fallen for Ye Linghua once again.

Since she didn’t know the full story, Mrs. Lin wasn’t aware of how much emotion Lin Xin had invested.

Still, she felt a little wistful but also fortunate. “I was so worried when she got divorced. She put a lot of emotion and effort into Miss Zheng. With my family’s situation, I always thought she wouldn’t be able to get over it easily. It was so good that someone was there to accompany her and stop her from doing anything foolish.”

Mrs. Lin was genuinely grateful that someone was with her daughter through the most difficult stage after her divorce.

She thought of the girl on TV who was pretty and delicate, with eyes that were always gentle when looking at her daughter. Compared to Zheng Lanwen’s consistently cold gaze, this assistant was so much better.

Mrs. Lin couldn’t help but feel a fondness for Ye Linghua. She said, “Someone Xinxi likes so much must be a very good person, right?”

Meng Kelin immediately forgot about the trouble with Lin Haiqi and joked with a laugh, “Ye Linghua is a good person, but her taste isn’t great.”

Mrs. Lin didn’t deny it and laughed. “Then her temper must be very good to like my Xinxi so much.”

Meng Kelin also laughed. “Lin Xin isn’t that bad either.”

After that, they both fell silent for a moment before bursting into laughter. Meng Kelin and Mrs. Lin were about the same age and had Lin Xin, whom they both cared for, so they got along well.

Thinking of Lin Xin, Meng Kelin’s voice also softened. She told Mrs. Lin with certainty, “Lin Xin is a very good child.”

Mrs. Lin’s soft voice was filled with gratitude. Even though she had thanked her many times before, she couldn’t help but thank her again. “Thank you for taking care of this child all these years. I’m not a good mother. I’m also part of the reason for the pain she’s endured. I don’t care for her as much as you do, so don’t worry about me. And as for Lin Haiqi’s matter, don’t worry about it at all. I want everything to be centered on Xinxi.”

Meng Kelin hummed. “Okay.”

After hanging up with Mrs. Lin, Meng Kelin called Lin Xin and asked her to come to the company.

Lin Xin said yes and immediately called a driver. When she arrived, Meng Kelin had just placed two plates of desserts and two cups of coffee on the small round table in the office, clearly ready for a long talk. She heard the door open and turned her head.

Seeing it was Lin Xin, she smiled and said, “You’re here? Have a seat.”

The sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling window streamed in through the thick transparent glass. It was the first time Lin Xin saw wrinkles at the corners of Meng Kelin’s eyes.

Aging, sickness, and death are natural processes that no one can escape.

Over the years, Meng Kelin had done her best for her. More than her own parents, Meng Kelin was like a mother. She personally took her to auditions, guided her in acting, and helped her gradually establish a foothold in the entertainment industry.

And she, like all rebellious children, had also made Meng Kelin cry alone in a dark room.

Lin Xin, who was lacking love, didn’t care about her career being at its peak or whether the other person was ambitious. She fell deeper and deeper into the whirlpool of love at first sight.

Meng Kelin was like a parent who was hurt by their child. On their child’s rebellious path, she was hurt while trying her best to show them the right way.

Even when she was at her most foolish, Meng Kelin never gave up on her.

Lin Xin took off her sunglasses and looked at Meng Kelin with gentle eyes, suddenly saying with a hint of apology, “I’m sorry.”

Meng Kelin was stunned, sitting in the chair by the glass wall. She looked up at Lin Xin, her eyes blank.

Lin Xin smiled, shook her head, and said it was okay.

Meng Kelin frowned in confusion but didn’t press for an answer.

At this point, it had been two days since Meng Bai’s Chat Room aired. There were various rumors online about Lin Xin’s background. Not only were there many reporters camping outside the company, but even the places where Lin Xin used to live were being sought out by journalists.

Meng Kelin knew the situation was urgent and that she needed to discuss countermeasures with Lin Xin. But she noticed that Lin Xin’s eyes were a little red.

For a moment, Meng Kelin didn’t think about Lin Haiqi’s issue. After all, for Meng Kelin, dealing with Lin Haiqi was relatively simple. But Lin Xin’s state of mind was the real problem.

So, she asked carefully, “Why are you crying?”

Lin Xin shook her head. “I’m not crying. I just miss Ye Linghua a little. I went to bed too late last night.”

Meng Kelin stopped asking, knowing that this topic would never have a conclusion. Meng Kelin calmly changed the subject again. “I called your mom this morning.”

Lin Xin nodded, as if she had expected it. “I know what you mean…”

Her gaze couldn’t help but fall on the corners of Meng Kelin’s eyes. The traces time had left on her face made Lin Xin suddenly realize that the most important people were those by her side.

And time waits for no one.

She lowered her eyes, staring at her hands on her lap, which were fair and slender.

“When I said he was a gambler on the show, I was already prepared.” Perhaps after experiencing betrayal and the departure of her loved one, Lin Xin seemed to have matured all at once. When she said this, she no longer had the hesitation she once had.

Meng Kelin was stunned. She glanced at the snacks she had prepared for a long talk and was a little taken aback. Why are both mother and daughter so reasonable today?

She couldn’t help but ask Lin Xin, “You’ve made up your mind so quickly?”

Lin Xin looked at Meng Kelin, her eyes firm. “The company is mine, but it’s also yours. I have the right to waste my own money, but I can’t waste yours.”

Meng Kelin was surprised to hear this. She wasn’t married and didn’t have children. Over the years, she had come to see Lin Xin as her own child. When she invested in the company, she never thought about profits or losses.

But now, hearing Lin Xin’s words of concern, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Xinxi, you’ve grown up.” Then, she took a deep breath, holding back the urge to cry.

She asked in a businesslike manner, “How do you plan to clarify?”

Lin Xin frowned, saying honestly, “I haven’t thought about it yet. When we were recording the show, Meng Bai suddenly changed the topic. I didn’t react in time. Afterward, I didn’t dare to say too much. I was on guard against their TV station.”

Meng Kelin frowned. “Their ratings are very high, and their backer is powerful.”

Lin Xin: “Even so, I absolutely cannot clarify on Meng Bai’s Chat Room. They will edit it haphazardly. I don’t trust clarifying with them.”

Meng Kelin nodded. “You’re right. We can’t hand over control to others. But…”

Meng Kelin chuckled. Lin Xin immediately frowned at her, looking suspicious.

Meng Kelin didn’t beat around the bush. With 20 years of friendship, there was no need.

She said openly, “This hot topic of yours is really good. We shouldn’t let the benefits go to outsiders!”

Lin Xin understood Meng Kelin’s hidden meaning. “What do you mean?”

Meng Kelin: “This is what I’m thinking. Our studio isn’t easy to run. Live streaming e-commerce is very popular now. You happen to have a TikTok account, but it doesn’t have much buzz. Hey, what a coincidence, you and your biological father have a hot topic now!”

Lin Xin looked at her slowly and couldn’t help but complain, “Are you telling me to self-promote?”

Meng Kelin cleared her throat and said feigning seriousness, “What do you mean, self-promote? Isn’t this a proper clarification? We’re just building up your account along the way. The studio will have an extra income, which is a good thing!” She then turned the tablet in front of Lin Xin, pointing at the lines of text. “I’ve kept the evidence of Lin Haiqi’s gambling all these years.”

Lin Xin was silent for a moment and said softly, “He let down Grandma.”

The old lady passed away early, which was partly because of her son, Lin Haiqi. Grandma Lin was very good to Lin Xin and her mother and doted on Lin Xin like she was her life. Once, while filming a scene in the water, Lin Xin was young and headstrong and secretly went to the lake to practice swimming by herself. Something happened, and Grandma Lin, with her frail body, jumped in. Lin Xin was saved, but Grandma Lin developed pneumonia.

From then on, her health was never good, and her cough rarely stopped.

When she was on her deathbed, her withered hand held Lin Xin’s, and she repeated, “Everyone has their own fate, Xinxi, this is Grandma’s fate.”

Lin Xin knew that she didn’t want her to carry any burden. She had always said that after she was treated at the hospital, she was completely fine. But Lin Xin always saw her coughing. Perhaps she really was all better, or perhaps that time in the water had left a lasting illness.

In her final moments, Grandma Lin couldn’t see clearly. Her thoughts were also confused, and the maternal love that had been suppressed deep in her heart surfaced.

But she didn’t say much. She just held Lin Xin’s hand and said, “Just this once, help your father.”

“I promise you, Grandma.”

Lin Xin pulled back her thoughts, suppressing her sadness. She heard Meng Kelin say, “I know you and your grandmother had a good relationship, but the old lady is gone now. I believe that if she were still alive, she would never want you to face this situation.”

Lin Xin lowered her head and hummed.

Meng Kelin: “Lin Xin, those who love you all want you to have a good life. I believe the old lady feels the same way!”

The old lady’s kind face flashed in Lin Xin’s mind. She said with certainty, “My grandma wanted me to have a good life, and she also wanted her son to have a good life.”

Meng Kelin reached out and patted her arm. “She must have hoped so, but how could such a reasonable person not know about your difficulties? She just didn’t expect Lin Haiqi to be such a scoundrel. But you have to believe that she cared for you more than Lin Haiqi! She would never want you to live your life carrying the burden of a biological father.”

Lin Xin turned to look out the window, took a sip of her coffee. The bitter taste slid down her throat. The sunlight outside the window was dazzling, making Lin Xin squint slightly.

In the high-rise buildings, everyone was carrying a heavy load as they moved forward.

She had gone back on her word.

Lin Haiqi’s call to Meng Kelin did not succeed in threatening her. In fact, Meng Kelin clearly stated that there would be no reconciliation and showed her disdain for Lin Haiqi.

This naturally angered Lin Haiqi, and he started thinking about how to get back at them. Lin Haiqi wasn’t a very smart person, but he was good-looking!

Even when he was talking nonsense, people would believe him.

After Meng Kelin’s call, he immediately posted a message to Lin Xin online: “Dad is old! I need to be taken care of in my old age. The law stipulates that this is your responsibility and duty!”

Meng Kelin sneered and directly used the studio’s account to fight back: “He didn’t pay a single cent of child support for 20 years, but now he remembers to ask for old-age support? Does he think our Lin Xin is a pushover?”

Thus, a public opinion war between Lin Xin and her biological father began!

[As I expected, the TV show was just an appetizer. The main event is here!]

In the entertainment industry, there are not many celebrities who publicly fight with their parents. After all, in this country, filial piety is the first of the five human relationships. Being filial to your parents is the right way to live!

But there are also cases where people fight with their parents, as there are parents in this world who truly don’t love their children.

As public figures, celebrities are often more restricted than ordinary people. Therefore, if a parent is not supportive, it can often be a fatal blow to a celebrity.

I remember 10 years ago, there was an actress whose career was ruined because her father cried on camera about her not being filial!

Who would have thought?

Therefore, Meng Kelin had always been very wary of Lin Haiqi.

But when Lin Haiqi brought up the matter of old-age support, the netizens began to take sides again. Even though everyone was now feeling sorry for the actress whose career was ruined, when the same thing happened, the netizens still started to comment and condemn.

[Let’s not talk about gambling. It’s really hard for Lin Xin to not take care of his old age!]

[Not talking about gambling? Then let’s talk about child support!]

[No, no, no, did you forget that Lin Xin started earning her own money at the age of 6? Does she need child support?]

[Haha! So our Xinbao has been earning money to support her family since she was a child. This old man is a loser, and now he has the nerve to come back and ask Xinbao to take care of him? Who’s more shameless?]

[That’s right. Even if our Xinbao earns her own money, her dad should still have paid child support, right?]

[Ignoring the facts, not taking care of your dad will lead to a lightning strike from heaven.]

[Ignoring the facts? What are we even talking about then?]

The entertainment industry is already complicated. Whether they are fans or just casual netizens, people will start a big argument over a small matter. The matter between Lin Xin and her biological father was already a hot topic, and now that they were starting to expose each other, it naturally led to a bunch of netizens arguing.

The more they argued, the more popular the topic became. As the attention increased, the mix of fans in this big war became more and more complex.

Meng Kelin clearly noticed that there were people from rival companies among the fans and that they were slowly guiding the casual viewers to support Lin Haiqi.

It was a sign of a falling tree. Someone wanted to bring Lin Xin down! After all, Lin Xin had recently gained a lot of popularity from Dusk and her CP fans. She was probably blocking the path of others, but who was it?

The person whose career path overlapped with Lin Xin’s was naturally the most suspicious.

With people guiding him, Lin Haiqi’s tactics naturally changed. They probably told him to first gain the audience’s sympathy while trying to explain his gambling.

After all, in this country, gambling is illegal. And the public’s impression of gamblers is very bad.

So, they had to downplay the gambling part to bring out Lin Haiqi’s real charm.

So, while the netizens were fighting to the death, Lin Haiqi put away his arrogant and aggressive approach and switched to a gentle one.

Lin Haiqi: [Xinxi, Dad isn’t looking for you just for some old-age support. I want to have a good talk with you, but you always avoid me. Dad is very sad. You should know that I was only 20 years old when you were born. I was young and didn’t know how to be a father, and I might have done a lot of things that were not good enough. But I have done my best to give you everything good. Maybe it wasn’t what you needed, but it was the best I could give. As for the matter between your mother and me, you might have heard too much from her and don’t know my difficulties. You also misunderstood me more and more because of my gambling. In fact, I was just playing with my friends in the village when my business failed and I was in a bad mood. It was only a few hundred yuan! Dad doesn’t know what your mom said, but it was just a small bet for fun. I didn’t mess around. I hope we can have a good talk, okay?]

This was a heartfelt message.

However, in his words, he portrayed Mrs. Lin as a petty, gossipy person. But the netizens didn’t know the truth and just assumed that Lin Xin indeed had a strong and controlling mother.

Many people who gambled also empathized with him and didn’t think that gambling with friends was considered being a gambler. It was just a way to pass the time, not to make a living, right?

[A small bet for fun. I believe most people have done that.]

[This is what Lin Xin called a gambler? Is this it?]

[This is a bit much. Who in the village doesn’t play cards or mahjong?]

[Exactly! Is it not too much to call your dad a gambler online?]

[And she’s a celebrity! Does she not know that one sentence from her can get her dad cyberbullied?]

[This is chilling.]

[And honestly, it’s so common for mothers to badmouth the other person after a divorce.]

[Don’t make excuses for Lin Xin. Even if her mom taught her this, she didn’t see her dad gambling with her own eyes. How can she call him a gambler?]

[That’s right! And she said it on a TV show. So many people saw it! She didn’t even verify the truth and slandered her dad like that? Even if he didn’t pay for her upbringing, he didn’t harm her!]

Within half an hour of Lin Haiqi’s post, public opinion started to lean toward him. And some people even started to question Lin Xin’s mother.

To prevent her mother from being misunderstood, Lin Xin immediately replied to Lin Haiqi: [I debuted at the age of 6, so I might have matured much earlier. I remember my childhood memories. You don’t have to talk about my mom. I saw for myself what kind of person you are! Besides, Mr. Lin, your gambling debts were all owed to people in our village. Do you know how many reporters are in the village now?]

[I support you, Xinbao.]

[So, was it a lot of gambling?]

The netizens were curious, and Lin Haiqi didn’t respond for a while.

Meng Kelin called Lin Xin. “If there’s someone behind him, this matter won’t be simple. Get ready to confront him in a live stream. This way, others won’t have time to plan for him.”

Not giving the enemy time to react was the best way.

As expected, Lin Haiqi replied in the middle of the night: [What are you talking about? I paid off the small debts I owed in the village after I went to work outside. If you don’t believe me, you can ask anyone.]

Meng Kelin said, “Most likely, a few people in the village have been bribed. Have your mom go check. If we can’t get a one-hit kill, we’ll be led around by the nose.”

Lin Xin agreed and immediately tagged Lin Haiqi, saying: [I’ll be live on TikTok the day after tomorrow at 8 PM. You said it was a misunderstanding, so why don’t you come and confront me? If it’s really a misunderstanding, I’ll apologize to the whole internet. @LinHaiqi]

Lin Haiqi waited for a while before replying: [Okay!]

Meng Kelin: “…” I didn’t expect him to remember the TikTok live stream.

On the other side, in a simple office, Ye Linghua was sitting at her desk, looking at the computer screen.

The screen on the computer was Lin Xin’s Weibo. It showed Lin Xin’s latest post, which was her inviting Lin Haiqi to a live stream to confront him.

Ye Linghua frowned in disapproval. Everyone was trying to get an interview with Lin Xin now. Not to mention, she didn’t know which company was behind her father. Could her studio even fight back?

Starting a live stream on purpose could become a top news story if she didn’t answer well.

Ye Linghua couldn’t help but feel a little worried, but after thinking about it, if Lin Xin wasn’t prepared, she probably wouldn’t dare to start the live stream. She must have evidence, otherwise, Meng Kelin would be too incompetent.

But even with this speculation, Ye Linghua still arranged for two administrators to monitor the TikTok live stream in real time, just in case the situation changed. After all, when fighting a big company, accidents are common.

The next day, to increase the influence of Lin Xin’s live stream, Meng Kelin even bought a trending topic. The fans were supportive and helped promote it.

When Ye Linghua was drinking soy milk and heard her secretary talk about this, she almost spat it out. She asked with a laugh and disbelief, “She even bought a trending topic?”

The woman in front of her answered respectfully, “Yes, she bought the 12th spot.”

Ye Linghua hummed and put the soy milk on the desk. She thought about it seriously and looked at how hard the fans were promoting it on the trending topic. In the end, she made up her mind and said, “Since Meng Kelin is confident enough to buy a trending topic, she must be very confident. Go and add more fuel to their fire…”

Meng Kelin then noticed that the trending topic she had just bought had a high discussion rate. A group of people came out of nowhere, screaming “ahhhhhh.”

They actually pushed the sponsored trending topic from the 12th spot all the way to the top. The popularity exploded, and everyone who was on the internet knew about it!

Meng Kelin: “…” She suddenly felt like she had wasted the money she had spent on the trending topic. Is the popularity of Lin Xin exposing her biological father that high? Ah! I suddenly understand Meng Bai and her team!

Who wouldn’t want this kind of popularity?

I’ll take this chance to get rid of all the hidden dangers! I won’t build if I don’t destroy!

While solving the Lin Haiqi problem, I can also make a profit from this account. It sounds a little good!

The more Meng Kelin thought about it, the better she felt. She worked with her team with a lot of motivation.

The live stream about Lin Xin exposing her biological father was finally coming in this highly anticipated wait…

The time Lin Xin had set was Friday, when everyone was done with work for the week and was ready to relax.

This week was different. With the previous buildup, Lin Xin’s followers on both Weibo and TikTok grew crazily.

Meng Kelin even received promotion requests from other companies during this serious live stream preparation.

So, not letting the money go to others, Meng Kelin even took on a promotion for Lin Xin’s TV show.

Then, when the netizens entered the live stream, they found that the shopping cart… was actually selling products!

[Who came up with this? You’re taking on promotions at such a serious moment? Is this even human?]

[I just realized that I’m a chump. I’m just a chump. Why am I so concerned about the capitalists’ family matters!!! o(╥﹏╥)o]

[They’ve already taken on promotions. I’m not giving up until I see the end!!!]

Even the paid trolls from rival companies were speechless when they saw the shopping cart. Since the netizens’ attention had shifted to the shopping cart, it wasn’t a good time for them to start swearing.

When Ye Linghua entered the live stream and saw the shopping cart, she chuckled. “Xinxi has really grown up. She knows how to earn money to support her family now.” When she said this, her voice couldn’t help but weaken. She remembered what Lin Xin had said: Don’t call me Xinxi anymore.

That’s right! I don’t even have the right to call her Xinxi anymore.

Ye Linghua’s good mood faded a little because of this thought.

In the live stream, the screen soon appeared. The camera shook for a bit, then Lin Xin was seen sitting on a sofa, looking at her phone. Her hair was styled simply, and she was wearing casual loungewear. She was holding a can of green tea.

The netizens who felt like they had been taken advantage of asked sensitively, [Is the green tea in your hand also a promotion?]

As the comments were being asked, as soon as Lin Xin appeared, many people started sending gifts.

Lin Xin: “…No, my assistant bought it.”

When Ye Linghua heard this, her heart fluttered. She looked closely and saw that it was indeed the green tea she had bought. Because she wasn’t good at cooking, she had paid extra to buy it, thinking that she could pour a cup for Lin Xin whenever she wanted. She didn’t expect Lin Xin to still be drinking it now.

[Ahhhhhh, is it Little Morning Star? Is it!!!]

When Lin Xin saw a bunch of CP fans, she couldn’t help but give a gentle and slightly happy smile and say softly, “Yes!”

[Ahhhhhh, I’m dying of happiness, I’m dying of happiness.]

[She admitted it directly!!! What’s the difference between this and making it official?]

[This is so great! The main couple is giving us treats themselves. This is so happy.]

[…Don’t go too far! It’s normal for an assistant to buy things for someone!!!]

However, the CP fans were in a state of “I won’t listen, I won’t listen, I won’t listen.”

“She resigned. She won’t buy it for me anymore.” Lin Xin’s words completely shattered the CP fans.

Ye Linghua looked at the screen of her phone. Lin Xin was holding the empty can, playing with it casually. A rare look of sadness appeared on her face.

Ye Linghua didn’t understand. She was the one who had wanted her to leave.

[Why did she resign?] someone in the comments asked.

Although many people were asking questions, Lin Xin seemed to only see this person’s question. She stared blankly at it, her expression sorrowful.

[So sad?]

[Ahhhhhh, I’m so into this! I’m so into this!!!]

[Ahhhhhh, I’m dying of happiness, I’m dying of happiness.]

[The main couple is giving us treats themselves. This is so happy!!!]

Ye Linghua: “…” After she resigned from Lin Xin, she had also researched this CP fan group. As expected, they weren’t picky at all! They could get into this!

[Whoa, CP fans, calm down! Can you get into this?]

[The assistant resigned, and Lin Xin is so sad. Why wouldn’t I get into this?]

[…] That kind of makes sense.

With the CP fans hyping up the atmosphere, the live stream was going well. As time went on, more and more people entered the live stream. It soon surpassed 100,000 and was still rising.

Meng Kelin’s heart was burning with excitement. She felt that new promotion fees were just around the corner!

Half an hour after Lin Xin started the live stream, Lin Haiqi finally arrived. When the camera in the live stream focused on Lin Haiqi, everyone in the live stream went silent.

He wasn’t the greasy middle-aged man they had imagined. Lin Haiqi was fair-skinned and clean-cut, and he was surprisingly handsome. Netizens had to admit that he was indeed Lin Xin’s father!

Lin Xin, however, was very disgusted with Lin Haiqi’s face, but she didn’t show it.

She first asked Lin Haiqi, “You want me to take care of your old age?” This was the spark that started the war between them!

Lin Haiqi was fair-skinned and clean-cut. His handsome face was on par with male celebrities. When he heard Lin Xin’s words, he said very naturally, “Yes!”

Even though Lin Xin knew how shameless he was, she had to admit that he always knew how to make the most of his advantages. He was good-looking, looked young, and was charming when he talked.

Mrs. Lin had also been head over heels for him! Other women had too.

Lin Xin gave a cold smile and asked, “What if I don’t?”

Lin Haiqi smiled and said, “You have so many fans watching. I believe you know how to be a good role model.”

Lin Xin: “Indeed, I can’t let my fans think that they should endure being bullied! So, I think we should be clear with each other. Mr. Lin, first of all, there has never been any father-daughter relationship between us. You have never loved me, and you have another daughter in the entertainment industry. Why do you have to keep bothering me?”

Boom! It was like a thunderclap. Everyone was shocked…

Lin Haiqi seemed to have not expected Lin Xin’s sudden heavy blow. He was so stunned that he didn’t react. He didn’t care what the others in the company said. He pointed at Lin Xin angrily and said, “Don’t drag innocent people into this!”

Lin Xin smiled faintly. “Innocent? I’m an illegitimate child, but she’s a legitimate child. What are you afraid of? Since we’re going to be clear, we should start with what you revealed to the TV station about my background.”

—“For example, why did I become an illegitimate child? And why could Lin Wan become a legitimate child?”

[I’m a little confused now…]

The comments were in chaos, and the term “Lin Wan legitimate child” immediately became a trending topic.

Not to mention, when Zheng Lanwen heard this in the makeup room, the glass in her hand fell to the floor. It shattered into pieces and could never be restored.

And when Ye Linghua heard this unexpected plot twist, she lifted her eyes to look at Lin Xin and was stunned. She gritted her teeth and thought: Zheng Lanwen, you’re a real btch!*

But Lin Xin, who had revealed such an important matter, was still calm. In contrast, Lin Haiqi on the other side was like a real father, filled with anger about Lin Xin’s sudden explosive news.

Lin Xin leaned against the sofa and opened another can of green tea. Ye Linghua didn’t know that Lin Xin was relying on these cans of green tea to muster up the courage to expose her wounds little by little.

Meng Kelin had said, “You can’t build if you don’t destroy,” so let’s destroy!

“You and my mom were introduced in the village. You and my mom got married first, had a wedding banquet first, and conceived me first. Other than you lying to my mom that you weren’t old enough to get a marriage license, how were you not a married couple? Why did you make her become an unwed mother in the end?”

Lin Haiqi gritted his teeth. Before he could refute, he heard Lin Xin say, “Speaking of which, the video of your wedding is still here! Although you looked down on my mom and me, Grandma always hoped you would turn back. It’s a shame she didn’t know that you could never turn back. Because you got a marriage license with someone else in the city, got married, and had a child.”

Lin Xin suddenly moved closer to the camera, looking at Lin Haiqi with a cold laugh. “Lin Haiqi, did you think I didn’t know? It’s a shame, but I know everything! Because you were Grandma’s son, I could pretend I didn’t know. But you’re not a good person. It’s not that I’m not filial. Your mom, my grandma, was taken care of by me until the end. How dare you come to me after Lin Wan forced me to get a divorce? So…”

Lin Xin leaned back against the chair again. Lin Haiqi listened as Lin Xin said like a demon, “Now, let’s talk about the matter of old-age support!”

[So cool!!!]

[I’m disgusted, thank you.]

[If what she said is true, this whole thing is beyond disgusting.]

[Is it that Lin Wan?]

[Yes, the one who releases songs when Lin Xin releases songs, goes on variety shows when Lin Xin goes on variety shows, and films TV shows when Lin Xin films TV shows.]

[The Lin Wan that Zheng Lanwen loves so much? I remember seeing Zheng Lanwen taking her to the hospital when Lin Wan was injured while filming recently.]

[I almost forgot about this person.]

[There’s no other way. She never gets popular! I didn’t expect her to be…]

[Damn, is it true just because she said so?]

[And it’s also disgusting for Lin Xin to reveal people’s privacy like this!]

The comments, whether good or bad, were all hurtful. Exposing your wounds to others bit by bit was both painful and embarrassing…

Lin Xin lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in them. Just as she was about to continue, suddenly…

With a “bang,” a series of mechanical fireworks appeared, and a sparkling effect filled the entire live stream screen.

A person named “Zero” sent Lin Xin a Carnival.

After less than two seconds, another Carnival effect came up, completely blocking the entire page.

One after another, one after another.

Everyone couldn’t see Lin Xin’s expression under the effects, nor could they see the comments.

Only one Carnival effect after another appeared, making everyone cheer for the big boss.

And Lin Xin’s festering wound seemed to heal a little at this moment…

Everyone’s eyes were on the avatar of the big boss who had sent so many Carnivals. The avatar was a simple star, emitting a faint light in the dark night sky.

After sending about a hundred Carnivals, she left a comment: Someone who isn’t worth it isn’t worth your sadness.

Lin Haiqi: “…”

The big boss named Zero added: [You can continue talking about the retirement problem now!]

Lin Xin: “…”

[Big boss is awesome!]

[I’m bowing down!]

[Big boss, look at me! Do you need any more followers?]

Zero: [No, watch the live stream.]

[Okay!]

[I’ll watch because the big boss told me to!]
