Forced to Live Together After Picking Up the Child of My Rival Alpha - Chapter 38.2

She smiled faintly and reached out to zip it up for her, then they parted ways to do their makeup.

Following Yu Jin was her own assistant, and at that moment, Song Min really regretted not having Yu Jin assign one for her as well.

It seemed she would have to sweet-talk her manager, Luo Wei, later!

Song Min called Luo Wei, who said he had to go back home due to family matters, and that the affairs here would temporarily be handled by Yu Jin’s spokesperson.

So this outfit was actually changed with the help of Yu Jin’s spokesperson.It wasn’t that hard to accept.

Song Min was completely unaware of her double standards. The makeup artist over there couldn’t wait and directly sent another team to do Song Min’s makeup, and they also gave Luoluo a light makeup. Luoluo sweetly said “thank you.”

Seeing her daughter express herself in front of strangers made Song Min feel very gratified!

When they started shooting, both were professional artists, perfectly rehearsing every detail on how to portray love in their eyes, how to find the best shooting angles, and how to manage their expressions.

When the official shooting began, Xiao Ye walked up with the ring, opened the box, and handed it to Song Min.

Song Min took out the ring and looked at it, feeling something was off: “This ring size is not right.”

“Not right? Did I grab the wrong one?” Xiao Ye stepped forward to take the sample ring and was about to hold Song Min’s hand, wanting to put it on her directly.

Song Min quickly stepped back: “I’ll do it myself.”

“No, Miss Song, the ring size is correct, let me help you try it on.” Xiao Ye was almost in tears, “If the shooting is delayed because of grabbing the wrong ring, I will be penalized.”

Song Min had no choice but to slowly try it on herself.

It was indeed a bit tight, but it wasn’t completely unwearable.

When she looked up, she found Xiao Ye had gotten very close, their foreheads almost touching her lips.

Song Min immediately took a few steps back, and Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment: “It’s on, great. Thank you, Miss Song, I’ll leave now, so I won’t delay your shooting!”

“Is it done?” Yu Jin asked at the right moment.

“It’s fine now.”

The two resumed shooting the ring scene, the first take was NG, but the second one passed smoothly, and the day’s shooting finally came to a successful end.

Back in Yu Jin’s van, Song Min finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Ah Jin, does Sister Man have a problem with me taking you away?”

“A little, but it’s not that serious,” Yu Jin said, “After all, I didn’t discuss such an important matter with her. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

For a long-term cooperating agent, an artist is like a precious treasure held in the palm of the hand, afraid of being ‘snatched away’; it’s normal to face some small troubles.

Being able to embrace a beauty, what’s a little grievance?

“But your outfit today seems a bit ill-fitting, not your usual style.”

Yu Jin joked: “Is Sister Wei Wei planning to change your style, relying on your beauty to please the fans?”

Actually, it was a subtle mockery of her, while telling her not to bend over to avoid exposure, she was also showcasing her devilish figure!

If this were at home, Yu Jin couldn’t guarantee she wouldn’t pounce on her.”

It seems Yu Jin wasn’t aware of the situation either, so there was no point in stirring up trouble between her and Gu Man. Otherwise, Yu Jin’s side might end up making things difficult for her later!

But by that evening, another trending search had thrust Song Yuan into the spotlight once again.

Luo Wei bombarded her with calls: “I was only gone for one day just one day and you’re already embroiled in another scandal! Weren’t you supposed to be filming with Yu Jin? Then who’s that sweet little thing in Barbie pink?”

On the other end, Gu Man was also calling Yu Jin.

“Sweet little thing in Barbie pink?” Song Yuan racked her brains. “It couldn’t be Xiao Ye, could it? Let me check!”

After hanging up, Song Yuan opened the trending photo. Damn it, it really was the moment Xiao Ye had come to deliver the ring.

But due to an awkward camera angle, it looked as though Xiao Ye was gazing tenderly at the ring on her finger while she, in turn, was looking affectionately at Xiao Ye’s face, leaning in slightly as if to kiss her forehead.

Fuming, Song Yuan rolled her eyes and promptly created a group chat with all four of them.

Song Yuan: “What the hell. I was so careful, and this still happened?”

Luo Wei: “Careful? Your eyes were practically glued to her! Song Yuan, can you please try to stay out of trouble?”

After sending the message, Luo Wei realized she had replied in the group and quickly retracted it: “You’d better explain yourself.”

Gu Man: “Yu Jin, what do you have to say?”

Yu Jin couldn’t be bothered to type and started a group voice chat instead.

“Song Yuan, you!” Luo Wei began, but then, mindful of Yu Jin and Gu Man, lowered her voice. “If it was just an accident on set, fine. But why did you have to change into such a figure-hugging outfit? Your face is already dangerously captivating, and now you’re wearing something that accentuates every curve. Are you trying to drive me crazy or cement your reputation as a seductress? Forget about me, where does that leave Ah Jin’s dignity?”

“Sister Wei, wasn’t the outfit something we decided on together?” Yu Jin asked.

“You’ll have to ask Song Yuan about that,” Luo Wei snapped irritably.

Song Yuan glanced at Yu Jin and hesitated for a long moment before saying, “Wasn’t it because Sister Gu thought I was taking advantage of Ah Jin and wanted to make things difficult for me?”

Gu Man: “I’m not that petty!”

Well, it seemed someone had deliberately orchestrated this mess.

Song Yuan let out a long sigh and pretended to blow on her non-existent wispy bangs.

Yu Jin said calmly, “Here’s what happened. Yuan Yuan felt the outfit didn’t fit properly and couldn’t zip it up. The original outfit wasn’t available, so she asked me to help with the zipper. That’s the first thing.

“Secondly, when the ring was delivered, Yuan Yuan’s ring was probably too small, and on my side, my assistant couldn’t find the ring box right away. I helped search through my clothes and found it. When I came back, I saw Yuan Yuan take a step back, she definitely did not touch that assistant!”

While the explanation cleared things up, everyone was still frustrated.

The comments under the photo were a flood of condemnation aimed at Song Yuan.

【Scumbag Yuan, you’re already married to Jin Jin, yet you’re still fooling around? Even during a commercial shoot, you can’t help flirting with your partner?】

【Scumbag Yuan, get lost! Weeds like irises will never be worthy of hibiscus!】

【Song Yuan doesn’t deserve to be married, she should just end up alone.】

【How can an artist with such loose morals represent LULU? Who would dare buy LULU’s couple rings now?】

【Disgusting! Yuan Yuan, just get a divorce.】

Luo Wei immediately contacted the brand, hoping they would issue a statement clarifying that Song Yuan was filming the endorsement with Yu Jin and explaining the assistant’s identity.

But the brand repeatedly dodged the request.

Due to the signed confidentiality agreement, the identity of the endorser and the promotional photoshoots could not be disclosed before the official announcement of the endorsement campaign.

Song Yuan found herself completely cornered.

Yu Jin wanted to post about it on Weibo, but Song Yuan stopped her: “A-Jin, there’s no need. As long as you believe in me, that’s enough! Don’t worry, once the endorsement is released, all the rumors will be debunked!”

“But they’re all saying things about you.”

“I’m used to it,” Song Yuan replied with a faint smile. “If there ever comes a day when I’m not being criticized, I’d start wondering if I’m no longer popular. My rise to fame has been entirely thanks to the hate!”

She was making light of the situation, but Yu Jin felt a pang of sadness.

Five years ago, Song Yuan had been the brightest crescent moon in the entertainment industry’s night sky, while Yu Jin was merely a star orbiting around her.

Then that incident happened, and Yu Jin chose to run away.

Song Yuan, however, had been relentlessly dragged through the mud ever since, with no turning back.

If Song Yuan had remained pure and untarnished, the title of Best Actress would never have fallen into Yu Jin’s hands.

The public outcry grew increasingly intense, with some even boycotting Song Yuan’s dramas, and Yu Jin was caught in the crossfire.

The brand’s official announcement was delayed again and again, but what everyone ended up waiting for was not the endorsement news, it was a contract termination notice from the brand.

“Damaging the product’s image, terminating the endorsement. Hah, LULU is really playing dirty,” even Luo Wei couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. “Song Yuan, did you offend someone?”

“You know I’ve always been a target for hate,” Song Yuan said indifferently. “Besides, because of the confidentiality clause, we can’t release the photos we took anyway.”

“But we’ll have to pay a huge penalty! Do you realize that? Not just us even Bolang Media will have to chip in,” Luo Wei reminded her.

Bolang Media was Yu Jin’s contracted company.

Song Yuan looked apologetically at Yu Jin. “Ah Jin, I…”

“It’s fine,” Yu Jin said, putting down her phone. “No one’s targeting me yet, anyway.”

“Oh no, that assistant is livestreaming,” Luo Wei suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone tuned into Xiao Ye’s livestream, where she tearfully accused Song Yuan of harassing her, leading to her losing her job, among other things.

This directly confirmed the rumors that Song Yuan had attempted to cheat during her marriage.

They were furious but helpless, feeling as if they had swallowed a fly disgusted but unable to spit it out.

“It’s okay, I believe you,” Yu Jin said.

Just then, Gu Man called: “A-Jin, your post has blown up! Maybe you should delete it? I know it’s unfair to Song Yuan, but she’s probably done for in the entertainment industry now. At times like this, we have to save whoever we can.”

Alarmed, Song Yuan quickly opened her phone.

It was a selfie from the day before, where Yu Jin had asked Song Yuan to kiss her cheek before taking the photo.

The caption read: I believe in Song Yuan!

The comments below were flooded with hateful messages directed at Yu Jin.

[“What kind of aloof, ethereal fairy is she? Just a lovesick fool! All those Omegas who are obsessed with her should open their eyes is an Alpha like that even worth idolizing?”]

[“Goddess, I’m sending you eye wash so you can see clearly. Please, climb out of that pit soon!”]

[“What’s so great about Song Yuan? A-Jin, wake up and get out of there!”]

[“They’re probably two of a kind two Alphas getting married just to cover up their scandalous behavior. How clever married but not accountable to anyone. I’m so disappointed in both of you.”]

[“A match made in heaven stay together and stop ruining other people’s lives.”]

If Song Yuan had more anti-fans than supporters, making her somewhat notorious yet still gaining attention, and no one believed her, that would be one thing.

But Yu Jin, over the years, had always maintained a cool and distant demeanor, rarely interacting excessively with other celebrities or fans, and had never been involved in any scandals.

Yet now, with so many fans, not a single one seemed to believe her.

It was as if someone was controlling the comments!

If it weren’t for the fact that her official residence was in the city center’s Yihe Community, even this villa would likely have been surrounded by now.

“Sister Gu, CEO Yi is calling. I’ll hang up now,” Yu Jin said.

Gu Man quickly advised, “Speak properly with President Yi. He has been quite good to you, and perhaps he has a way to help you overcome this difficulty.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up, Yi Yan answered the call and only uttered two words: “Face-to-face meeting!” before ending the call.

Yu Jin stood up: “I’m going out for a while.”

“Ah Jin.” Song Yuan wanted to follow, but it would be too unsafe for both of them to go out. Besides, with Song Yuan’s figure even if she covered her face there wasn’t another woman in the world with such a perfect combination of a full bust and a slender waist.

“It’s fine. I’m just going back to the company to see if there’s any chance of turning things around!”

“Then I’ll prepare a meal and wait for you to come back.” Song Yuan hugged Yu Jin: “Thank you for believing in me.”

Yu Jin raised an eyebrow: “If I hadn’t been there at the time, I might have actually believed the rumors.”

Song Yuan’s face stiffened, and she said dejectedly, “Alright, then from now on, I’ll have to stick to you like glue so I can’t be wrongly accused. You have to make me feel secure!”

Yu Jin chuckled, kissed Song Yuan’s forehead in return, turned, and left, driving away.
