Chapter 1209: Excessive Shots

Xia Yingluo also wanted to understand the power of the one behind it. She groaned and said hesitantly, “Jiang Bilian?” But Jiang Bilian was not a person with that much power, so she wouldn’t be able to get a crew to go against her.
Sure enough, the Dean said, “Probably not. Anyways, you should be careful. Pay attention to who has taken an interest in you, and if you can’t handle it, tell me, I will help you.” She was a first-class student in the training camp and was fancied by Pei Ziheng, so he couldn’t just sit idly and not care about her matters.
Xia Yingluo really couldn’t think of anyone who she had offended. Sighing heavily, she thanked the Dean and left.
After a few days, something went wrong.
The film shot by the crew was finalized, and publicity for it began to spread. A large part of the scene was of the drizzling alley, with the apricot flowers. The silhouette of a naked young girl was poignant beyond compare amongst a bunch of bandits. She looked up bleakly and looked up in the dim light and there was a close-up. It was actually Xia Yingluo’s face.
It was a niche literary film with beautiful light and shadow effects. Although the promotion scenes were erotic, it gained a good reputation among the audience. Countless people inquired who the young naked girl in the shot was, she was so beautiful. Her face was mixed with innocence and enchantment, and in her bleakness was a sort of fierceness that attracted people’s souls.
Imperial Entertainment was full of buzz.
The outside world didn’t know, but they knew—the girl was Xia Yingluo.
The film was posted on the campus network, and many people left messages. “I couldn’t have guessed. Xia Yingluo usually looks so noble and virtuous and cannot be blasphemed, but it turns out she accepted such a movie.”
“What can’t be done when you want to be famous?”
“What virtuous, she has already been raised by so many men, didn’t you know?”
“Well, that’s unfortunate. Her results are so good, why did she degenerate to selling her body.”
The post immediately had many comments.
After seeing these posts, Jin Ling’er was shocked and angry. She came to Xia Yingluo. “Yingluo, did you really go and film naked? You, do you know that this will ruin you!”
Xia Yingluo had been troubled recently. She thought that she must have really offended someone, and she didn’t know which damn person had published her mobile phone number, but she had been receiving calls from wretched men. They invited her to dinner parties and asked her how much she charged for one night…
“I changed my number.” She gave Jin Ling’er the new number. “If I said that it wasn’t me who appeared in the photo, and they mixed my shots with someone else’s body, would you believe me?”
Jin Ling’er gave a sigh of relief. She said with a reassuring smile, “Great! I knew you wouldn’t do that! Yingluo, I was so shocked! I will go to the forum and refute them and tell everyone that it’s not you!”
“It’s useless.” Xia Yingluo smiled bitterly.
“Ah?” Jin Ling’er froze.
“I said it’s useless.” Xia Yingluo sighed and told her the Dean’s speculation about her offending someone. “That person won’t let me clear my name so easily. Also, those people just like to watch the crowd and can’t wait for me to become even more unfortunate, so how many people would listen to your explanation?”
Jin Ling’er knew she was telling the truth and was disheartened. “But, are we letting it go just like this? You shouldn’t carry this stigma! With such a reputation, what would you do when you debut?”
Xia Yingluo was not worried about her debut, but she really didn’t want to carry such a stigma. Why should an innocent person carry a dirty stigma? “I’ve hired a private detective to investigate,” Xia Yingluo said comfortingly. “When I find out the truth, I will definitely take revenge on that person.”
Jin Ling’er wondered. “Can you find out who that person is?”
“I’m sure I can.” Xia Yingluo patted her head. “Don’t worry about it.” The private detective she had hired was the best in the city, and the price was quite high. Fortunately, she had the card from Wei Lingnan and had used it out of urgency. If she thought about it this way, Wei Lingnan was not completely useless. At least he could be an ATM.
“Let’s go and eat.” She felt better and called Jin Ling’er out.
The two arrived at the canteen at the training camp. It was peak dinner time and there were people everywhere.
Xia Yingluo held Jin Ling’er’s hand and pushed through the crowd to buy food. On the way, several people stared at her secretly, using all kinds of judgemental looks that made her uncomfortable.
Jin Ling’er said fiercely to those people, “What are you looking for, haven’t you seen a beauty before!”
She pulled Xia Yingluo to an empty chair and sat down.
There was a sneer on the side. “We have seen many beautiful women, but we have never seen a beauty who shot those restricted scenes. Xia Yingluo, I didn’t expect your figure to be so good. You’re pretty full when your clothes are off, hahaha.”
A few boys around also laughed in harmony.
Xia Yingluo turned her head and saw Zhang Qiang and his roommates, as well as Zhu Zhu and Jiang Bilian.
She cursed under her breath. Why did she have to meet her enemies here?
“What are you talking about!” Jin Ling’er was about to explode.
“We’ll call out whoever did something dirty, haha, why, can’t we talk about it?” Zhu Zhu also sniggered. The anger she had felt towards Xia Yingluo for stealing the spotlight at the banquet dance was finally relieved.
Jiang Bilian looked at her with pity. “Xia Yingluo, even if you are poor, you shouldn’t do anything for money.”
Xia Yingluo looked down and played with the bowl of vegetable soup in her hand. “If you keep annoying me, do you believe I’ll pour this on you?”
The distance between their two tables was very close. Jiang Bilian looked at her murderous look and was really afraid she would pour the soup on her. Anyway, Xia Yingluo’s reputation was ruined, and she didn’t want to continue arguing with her, so she surrendered. Jiang Bilian comforted herself and stood up gracefully. She said to her group of lackeys, “Let’s change places.”
The group of them made their disdain for Xia Yingluo clear.
“Humph, who do they think they are!” Jin Ling’er was so angry that she almost broke her chopsticks.
Xia Yingluo said, “Don’t get upset, just eat.” Before the truth was found out, it was worthless no matter how angry she was. It would only let people laugh at her. It wouldn’t be too late to wait until the private detective found out who had actually harmed her.
The cell phone rang.
Xia Yingluo picked up. It was Wei Lingnan.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you changed your number?” This was Wei Lingnan’s first sentence.
Xia Yingluo then remembered that she had forgotten to tell him. “Who are you to me, why should I?”
Wei Lingnan chuckled over the phone. “What’s wrong, you’re in a bad mood?”
“No,” Xia Yingluo said.
Wei Lingnan was calm. “I heard what happened in the past few days. The video clip was handled well, it’s normal for you to be angry.”
Xia Yingluo was stunned for a moment. “You believe that it’s not me?”
Wei Lingnan chuckled again. “Of course.” Not to mention that she was not such a person, but when he had looked at the woman’s chest in the scene, he knew—Xia Yingluo’s chest had a scar personally burnt by him.
