Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Everyone Who Went Out to Dinner that Night Got Poisoned!

The news quickly reached Ye Chu.

Initially, she had doubted Su Yinwan’s words because it wasn’t appropriate to say anything until the matter was clarified, as the entertainment industry loves to blow things out of proportion.

However, the moment she saw the finalized photos, she couldn’t sit still anymore.

Jiang Li had indeed stolen her role!

Ye Chu immediately posted a suggestive tweet.

It generally outlined how much effort she had put into the role lately and how regrettable it was that she missed this opportunity.

On the surface, it seemed like she was expressing regret about the situation, but in reality, it revealed several points.

First, none of them had received any audition notices.

Second, the company hadn’t received any news either, wasting manpower and resources for nothing.

Third, the role was supposed to be hers!

Once the tweet was posted, it sparked heated discussions again.

"My God, even Ye Chu is speaking out? Isn’t she a senior?"

"It looks like Jiang Li really did something shady; many bloggers are calling her out."

"Jiang Li, make a statement, will you? Didn’t she say she wouldn’t join the industry? Why did she suddenly steal someone’s role?"

Despite many ordinary people jumping out to explain for Jiang Li, they couldn’t cover up the depth of the issue, as Jiang Li hadn’t revealed anything about the drama to them before.

Seeing Ye Chu’s tweet, Su Yinwan almost burst out laughing.

Ye Chu, though an industry veteran, was still so naive.

Providing her with bait, she foolishly took it.

But it was fine; at least someone had taken the initiative for her. She just needed to stay low-key and play nice.

Thinking this, Su Yinwan switched over to her fan club group chat to console her restless fans—

"Don’t be angry, everyone. This role was never mine to begin with, and Jiang Li got it fair and square. Don’t follow the crowd~"

The fans were deeply moved.

"My goodness, Wenwen is such a kind person!"

"After everything, Wenwen, you’re still considering others. They are stepping on you!"

"No, I can’t settle down until I vent at Jiang Li!"

Watching the messages in the group, Su Yinwan smiled satisfactorily and curled her lips.

Suddenly, a male voice came from above—

"What’s wrong?"

Su Yinwan quickly set down her phone and looked up at Shang Shaojing, who was walking towards her.

"Nothing much, just handling some work-related matters." She then lowered her head and made a bashful expression, "But Brother Shaojing, how come you have time to invite me for a meal lately?"

Ever since returning from the Southwest, she and Shang Shaojing had been mostly apart with little emotional progression.

The task on her side was stagnating, and the male lead’s affection for her wasn’t increasing.

Just as she was worrying about it, Shang Shaojing had taken the initiative to invite her out, and she happily pushed aside her work to come.

Being an actor was exhausting.

It was better to stick close to the male lead’s "big leg."

Shang Shaojing took a seat opposite her.

"I’m sorry, I have been quite busy lately, neglecting your feelings."

Ever since returning from the Southwest, Shang Shaobai had been more bold, often opposing him in the company, and even their father turned a blind eye to it.

Let alone the situation with the Gu Family...

The circumstances with the Gu Family had become even more complicated.

Several months ago, Young Master Gu had disappeared without a whisper, yet Old Sir Gu showed no reaction whatsoever.

He had sent people to secretly investigate Gu Yu’s whereabouts, and those who returned told him that the last time Gu Yu was seen was in East Africa Somalia.

After that, there were no further messages.

He also tried to subtly probe Old Master Gu, but the explanation given was that he found Gu Yu too incompetent and had sent him to an overseas boarding school to straighten him out.

Seeing this, others stopped asking, but Shang Shaojing always felt that there was more to the story.

Old Master Gu had kept Gu Yu by his side for over a decade and never allowed him to leave the Capital, so why would he send him abroad all of a sudden?

Especially since it was right after he had returned from Chixia Village.

Seeing Shang Shaojing continually out of sorts, Su Yinwan bit her lip and gently tapped his glass.

"Brother Shaojing, what’s wrong with you, why are you so distracted?"

Shang Shaojing came back to his senses.

"Nothing, just thinking about some things."

"By the way, I saw on Weibo about the role Director Zhang was casting you for, why did it switch to Jiang Li again?"

Su Yinwan lowered her head, looking visibly upset, "It must be because I’m not as good as her."

Shang Shaojing scoffed coldly, "You graduated from Modu Drama College, and Jiang Li hasn’t even taken a proper acting class, how could she surpass you? But don’t be too upset, I’ve contacted Director Cheng Anshu for you, his movie is about to start filming, and they just happen to need a leading lady. I’ve recommended you."

Su Yinwan wasn’t very happy.

Although Director Cheng also had a good reputation in the industry, he was nowhere near Director Zhang.

She had also heard about that movie, and its production quality was far inferior to "Night Walk."

But having a role was better than nothing.

"Thank you, Brother Shaojing."

...

...

When Luo Xingmu saw the news online, he had just finished a day’s shooting and had returned to the hotel.

While drying his freshly washed hair, he turned on his phone.

The first thing that caught his eye was Jiang Li’s character poster for "Night Walk" trending on Weibo.

Seeing the uniform disparagement in the comments section, Luo Xingmu scoffed coldly, as he had anticipated.

Indeed.

When virtue does not match one’s position, skepticism ensues.

Just as he was about to put his phone down, his assistant rushed in, panicking.

"Oh my God, there’s big news, well, not really big news, Brother Mu, do you know what happened?! We narrowly escaped death!"

Luo Xingmu furrowed his brow, "What are you talking about?"

The assistant took a big gulp of water before continuing, "It’s about the Shanshui Pear Garden we planned to visit the day before yesterday. There was an incident!"

Hearing this, Luo Xingmu’s head buzzed.

The assistant continued, "Apparently, the chef and the owner had a fallout, and poison was added to the food. Everyone who went to eat there that night got food poisoning, two of them severely and they’re even lying in ICU now, stomach pumping didn’t work!"

"When I got the message, I was terrified. Thank God you insisted on changing the location that day, otherwise, we might be the ones in ICU right now, too terrifying."

A cold sweat broke out on Luo Xingmu’s back.

"Actually, that day, it wasn’t suddenly because I wanted to go somewhere else..."

"What do you mean?"

"It was Jiang Li."

"Ah? What does she have to do with it? Isn’t she... trending again?"

Luo Xingmu didn’t elaborate, but silently picked up his phone and opened Weibo again.

Looking at the photo of the girl with delicate features, his expression gradually grew more complex.
