章節 22: Terminate the Agreement
編輯: Atlas Studios
"Mrs. Gu, are you and Gu Xiang really getting a divorce?"
"When did you discover that Gu Xiang was having an affair, weren't there any abnormalities before?"
"Mrs. Gu, will you say a few words?"
While facing the onslaught, Gu Xiang's cheeks were drawn taut and he glowered at the reporter, trying to stop him from approaching his wife. He said in a low and muted voice, "You can direct your questions at me, it has nothing to do with her."
The woman spoke without looking at him, "I am not Mrs. Gu, I have a name. My name is Su Ying.
Gu Xiang was visibly shaken.
The reporter quietened down. Su Ying's steady voice could be clearly heard now.
"I've known Gu Xiang for 22 years. I gave whatever I could to this relationship, and didn't expect it to come to such an end. I have never regretted anything, nor do I regret having loved him. I also do not regret the decision to divorce."
Gu Xiang instantly reached out for Su Ying, but she shook him off. Then without looking back, she walked through the pathway that the reporters made as they parted for her.
Her words were subsequently posted on the internet by the reporters.
Su Ying was firm and decisive as she walked away, a great contrast to Gu Xiang who was standing by the side with bloodshot eyes, going quite insane.
It was an emotional time for the netizens.
This seemingly weak and docile woman in reality had a clear bottom line. She was strong and fearless. So whom among the two was not worthy of the other?
Having seen the video, Luo Qiao pondered for a moment. She rapped the tabletop and said, "PA Sun, get in touch with Miss Su. If she needs any help, let me know."
"Roger."
Su Ying's tenacity and bravery only made Zhang Lingling look even more low and despicable as the instigator. Zhang Lingling had received so many flaming messages that she had had to shut down her Weibo comments, but even then it did not calm the netizens' anger. Instead, they turned to inundate the official Weibo sites of the brands that she was the spokesperson for.
[Here? Have you terminated her contract?]
[Are you waiting for death by not terminating her contract?]
[Now! Immediately! Terminate her contract!]
The brand houses were so pressured by the netizens that they instantly announced that they would never appoint such notorious artistes.
Having had one brand set precedence, the rest of the brands that had any collaborations with her instantly washed their hands off her, like how everyone would kick a man who was down. Overnight, Zhang Lingling fell from being a star with a huge fan following, to a vermin whom everyone wanted dead.
Of course, Luo Qiao wasn't going to sit around and do nothing at this point. When Zhang Lingling's manager saw the breach of contract penalty amount, he almost passed out.
"If you cannot pay the breach of contract penalty, we will have to take the legal avenue," the lawyer representing Luo Qiao's company said steadily.
Zhang Lingling was almost going insane with panic. Paying the penalty would mean that all her years of hard work would have come to nothing. On top of that, she would be shouldering a huge debt.
At this point, she decided to go for broke. She posted the huge penalty amount imposed by Luo Qiao on the internet in an attempt to reason it out.
Although all the comments were against her, she ignored them and tearfully expressed, "Yes I was in the wrong, but does that make Luo Qiao right? Such a huge sum, it's obvious she's purposely making life difficult for me."
The netizens continued to berate her:
[Serves you right! You would have known the penalty, so why did you sign it? Dog-eat-dog, both of you are alike!]
[This fool is still trying to make use of us netizens, she wants to make money and doesn't want to take responsibility. Ha! No way!]
[I'd be glad to see the mistress being dealt with by the villain!]
[Hehe, suddenly I quite like Luo Qiao…]
[Don't you have a good idea of what really happened at the scene the other day, Zhang Lingling? Ha, if I were Luo Qiao and were victimized like that, I'd make sure you died too! ]
The last comment obviously alluded to some insider story and it caught the attention of the netizens who were sitting back watching the entertainment. And when they saw the name on this person's Weibo, they were stunned.
