Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 660: Interstellar Decline of Imperial Rose Cannon Fodder (9)

Chapter 660: Interstellar Decline of Imperial Rose Cannon Fodder (9)

Ling Ge instinctively opened Luo Ning’s terminal after Mr. Ling hung up but still got the message that the call couldn’t be connected, indicating that he was still on the blacklist.

He could only give up, then he opened Star Post.

Before he could go to Luo Ning’s Star Post, he saw the red headline of the top trending news, "Luo Ning announces broken engagement with Ling Ge."

The second hot topic: "Ling Ge cheats with up-and-coming starlet Leng Ying"

The third hot topic: "Ling Ge is scum, Leng Ying a mistress, Imperial Rose locks them down."

Seeing all three hot topics related to him made Ling Ge’s face turn dark.

After clicking and skimming through, he found that apart from a very few loyal fans, the rest of the comments were all scathing.

He rubbed his temples and then clicked on Luo Ning’s Star Post.

Sure enough, he saw the latest three posts, each one more dominant and aggressive than the last, and exuding a sense of finality.

Why had it come to this? Had Luo Ning lost her mind?

He hadn’t said he wasn’t getting married!

He didn’t attend the wedding not because he fled, but because he had something important to do; how had it turned into him cheating?

He did have some fondness and admiration for Leng Ying, but nothing inappropriate happened between them.

Leng Ying wasn’t even considered his lover.

The moment he saw the "evidence" Luo Ning had posted, Ling Ge felt a headache coming on.

Who was the bastard that took those photos, making him and Leng Ying look so intimate?

This made it impossible for him to explain himself.

Ling Ge immediately contacted his adjutant to arrange for the earliest starship back to Imperial Capital Star.

The adjutant let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this; he was actually worried that despite this scandal, the young master would still choose to stay here with his lover.

Ling Ge had no idea what his adjutant was thinking; otherwise, he would have been furious.

Even the people close to him had concluded that Leng Ying was his lover; how could he explain this now...

On the other hand, Leng Ying, who had woken up in a good mood and had her assistant reserve lunch, planning to eat with Ling Ge later.

She felt particularly proud and confident that she could make Ling Ge skip the wedding to come see her instead of Luo Ning.

But before Ling Ge could arrive at the hospital, she received a call from her agent, who berated her fiercely.

The agent criticized her for calling him away from the wedding, calling it a tacky move and saying she had handed Luo Ning the advantage on a silver platter.

With Luo Ning breaking off the engagement because of her and Ling Ge, she had become the target of vitriol across the entire Star Post, angering the higher-ups of the company.

Leng Ying was stunned by the agent’s scolding; how could Luo Ning do such a thing?

Wasn’t that woman insanely in love with Ling Ge?

Wasn’t she completely devoted, not willing to let go of Ling Ge at all?

Why would she go on Star Post and pull off such a stunt?

She did have plans to reveal her relationship with Ling Ge on Star Network, but only after Luo Ning’s reputation was in tatters and her name was dirt across the Entire Empire!

Although she liked Ling Ge and deliberately played hot and cold with him to keep him on the hook, she wasn’t ready to be with him just yet.

So how did she become the mistress?

That lunatic Luo Ning actually went and posted on Star Post calling her a mistress; that was just hateful.

She wanted her agent to do some public relations, to say that her relationship with Ling Ge was just that of good friends, not the mistress Luo Ning claimed, that it was all a misunderstanding.

Otherwise, if she were branded a mistress for good, how would she survive in the entertainment circle?

How would she attract other distinguished and high-quality men to be her backups?

Though she had her eyes set on Ling Ge as the male lead and had no plans to get involved with other men, it didn’t stop her from wanting to cast her charms and gather a group of high-quality men worshipping at her feet!

She had believed that she had transmigrated into the book "Imperial Rose," replacing Luo Ning as the heroine.

Until now, things had gone smoothly. She followed the book’s timeline and events, successfully catching the male lead, Ling Ge’s, attention and interest, and stirring up trouble between him and Luo Ning.

She made him fall for her and even caused him to abandon the heroine for her sake.

She also managed to save a mech master in distress before Luo Ning could, seizing the opportunity to become his disciple and began learning how to build mecha.

She preempted several chances that were meant for Luo Ning.

Everything had been going according to her plan, so how did it all suddenly come to this?

It was all Luo Ning’s fault for not playing the cards right.

The heroine is the heroine after all, apparently still blessed with some Luck, which really irked her.

She must not allow Luo Ning to turn the tables.

According to the book, Luo Ning had suffered serious damage to her spiritual power trying to save Ling Ge.

Luckily, she had bought the Mutant Plant that could have facilitated Luo Ning’s coincidental recovery of spiritual power.

As long as Luo Ning couldn’t recover her spiritual power, she would be useless.

Once she mastered all that her master taught her and became a Mech Master, she could still trample Luo Ning, the book’s heroine, underfoot.

Luo Ning’s choice also implied that she might indeed have given up on Ling Ge.

Of course, it could also be that Luo Ning was feigning retreat to trap her enemy.

Therefore, she couldn’t let Luo Ning succeed, she had to cling tightly to Ling Ge and also quickly clear her reputation as the mistress.

After hearing Leng Ying’s plan, her agent was speechless.

This was outright whitewashing; after all, the Star Post evidence Luo Ning posted contained many ambiguous photos of Leng Ying and Ling Ge.

Just now, a passerby said that they had accidentally encountered Ling Ge and Leng Ying at the hospital yesterday and secretly took photos of them before posting them online.

Once the photos were shared, netizens berated them again.

Even if they were said to be just friends before, Leng Ying summoning people to Ling Ge and Luo Ning’s wedding was a stain that couldn’t be whitewashed.

However, the company wasn’t ready to give up on Leng Ying just yet, especially since she had the support of Ling Ge.

So, the agent posted a clarifying Star Post according to Leng Ying’s wishes, explaining that the photos looked ambiguous because of the angles.

As for whether the netizens believed it or not, that was beyond her control.

The company’s stance was that it didn’t matter if the attempt to whitewash her image failed this time; they could look for opportunities to turn things around in the future.

As expected, after the clarifying Star Post was issued, netizens lashed out and ridiculed it.

"This forced whitewashing is disgusting, like being force-fed something nasty. Didn’t you frequently have ambiguous encounters with Ling Ge after he got engaged to Luo Ning?"

"How do you explain the ambiguous photos?"

"You say the ambiguous photos were taken from certain angles, but you two are way too close, aren’t you?"

"Each photo shows you both in different clothes, suggesting that you spent a lot of intimate time together."

"Exactly, so close together and you claim it’s just a pure friendship? Who do you think you’re fooling?"

"And there’s a photo of Ling Ge giving you a princess carry, claiming it’s because you got hurt on set and he had to carry you.

I just want to ask, if you two didn’t have an improper relationship, would he come to watch you filming? And be so concerned about you getting hurt? Personally carry you to the hospital?"

"Right, why hasn’t he carried anyone else like that? Just you?"

"There are also photos of you visiting Ling Ge at the Ling Family Army base on Kaya Star, several times, all at different times. The legitimate fiancée hasn’t even visited that often."

"This attempt at whitewashing is too fake; the more you try to clean it, the more it reveals the problem."

"Just stop trying to whitewash; we are not fools."

"Just lock down the scumbag and the shameless woman together, better to keep them from causing more trouble."

Watching the netizens’ comments and seeing that even some of her own fans had turned against her, Leng Ying was so angry, her face almost turned green.
