Chapter 18

The day I was elected as an academician, the court session also began. The defendants were Xiao Xiao and the former director. I deliberately used my official academician account to tag the two of them. The internet exploded: 【Xiao Xiao, come out and apologize. Stand at attention and prepare to be punished!】 【Did the entertainment industry just change overnight?】 【The Best Actor’s account is deactivated, and a popular rising star is being sued by an academician!】 Before, Xiao Xiao's fans had maliciously speculated that I had climbed into the bed of some rich benefactor. They never expected that I was my own benefactor. At that moment, they were as quiet as the grave. They wanted to delete all their Weibo posts in the dead of night. Xiao Xiao couldn’t believe it at first. She never imagined that the person she had stepped on had suddenly become someone she couldn’t even dare to provoke. Recently, she had been facing a series of setbacks. Several projects she had been promised suddenly canceled their contracts with her. Her manager advised her to endure it and get through this phase. After all, she still had the persona of being the wealthy daughter of the Gu family. Gu Jin had never denied this rumor, so it could still fool some of the fans. She had no choice but to obediently pay the compensation. Suddenly, a few hot search topics appeared: #Gu Jin's sister turns out to be an academician. #What window did the world just close on Gu Ling? #Xiao Xiao’s variety show footage leaked. Her phone fell to the floor with a "clap," and someone nervously picked it up. The video she clicked on showed her arrogantly instructing the staff to violently dismantle the fence. She carelessly walked through the woods, picking things and tossing them around. Originally, the camera shouldn’t have captured these moments, but for some reason, even her malicious words cursing Gu Ling were fully revealed. Everything went dark in front of her. She not only offended Gu Jin but also angered an academician. The entertainment industry could no longer tolerate her.
