There was nothing wrong with Ran Xueyi being photographed outside. But the image was recognized by some eagle-eyed passersby who deduced that she came out of a hotel and got in a car parked outside of it. They also quickly investigated the area she was located and sent out evidence that the area that she was in was really close to a 5-star hotel.

The picture alone could arouse everybody's imagination to go wild. However, when that post and picture was suddenly taken down after only a few minutes of it being posted in real-time, people couldn't help but think that maybe somebody powerful noticed it and took it down before anyone could see it.

And preferably, that someone could be the gold master keeping Ran Xueyi.

Ran Xueyi tapped her phone screen and paused a bit. She knew this manipulative method of pushing and pulling where one would tease people to want to know more.

Ran Xueyi was really surprised.

She hadn't expected that a simple party could end with her being targeted and called as the sugar baby of a gold master.

It turned out the person who spread this rumor around really wanted to destroy her. But who could have done this? And why did they do this to her?

Ran Xueyi took her time to scroll down the comments section under the breaking news and hot topic lists linked to her name.

The comment area was very harmonious and united. Everyone was cursing, scolding, making speculations, and spreading the rumor even further to the edge of the world. Among them, Steffanie's and Bai Jingjing's fans were collectively responsible for scolding her. Water army from several media companies was responsible for collecting fake evidence but also believable ones. As for the passersby, they were there to eat melons and share the discussions to their own groups, furthering the rumor to spread around the world.

Among all the rumors about her, there were other past scandals involving her that were taken out from years ago. One of them was that Ran Xueyi had a long history of being a bully in the entertainment industry, scolding other rookie actors and actresses until they were in tears. This somehow fortified that Ran Xueyi was too used to bullying and stealing resources from other actresses. The other was that they suspected that she also slept with another gold master to receive the Best Actress of the Century award which she received much earlier during her peak in being an actress.

Ran Xueyi laughed coldly when she saw this, but calmly went over to read the comments on her own Weibo to take a look.

Steffanie's and Bai Jingjing's fans quickly took over her comments sections on every recent post she posted before. Of course, her fans was also there to support her and debunk all their scoldings and try to defend her. However, with two idol's fans as well as their water army and passersby who came to eat melon, they were in for a losing battle.

Adelle worriedly went over to her side and saw Ran Xueyi reading the ridiculous words of these evil people. Her heart lurched and wanted to take her phone away from her hand, but Ran Xueyi easily avoided her and continued reading as if nothing happened.

Adelle could only huff annoyed by her failed attempt to protect her artist's eyes and said, "Don't look! Don't look at them anymore! What are you going to do by looking at these boorish people saying boorish and ill-mannered words? Ran Xueyi, listen to me and quit using your phone!"

Even though Adelle knew that Ran Xueyi has the heart of steel and gold, that didn't mean that anyone should undergo such verbal abuse from anybody. At the very least, as her manager, Adelle wanted to protect Ran Xueyi's eyes and not let her learn from them.

Ran Xueyi looked away from her phone to give her adorable manager a glance before saying, "It's not boorish. They're quite creative actually."

Hearing her say this, Adelle was completely stumped out of words and could only stare at her.

Guo Yun was the opposite and stared at Ran Xueyi in amusement and agreement. These people really knew how to bring out their best to scold people. One might also learn a word or two from them!

The Big Boss's wife is really amazing!historical

...

Time quickly passed and the time to go to the booting ceremony venue finally arrived.

People were heatedly discussing the rumors outside the waiting and reporter's area, waiting for the star of today to come.

Several nanny cars belonging to other actors and actresses from the film also arrived in succession. Not wanting to get burned while the pot was hot, they avoided walking through the front entrance and used the private door to avoid coming face to face with reporters and fans.

Finally, it was Ran Xueyi's turn to enter the picture.

The black nanny van shone as the bright sun hit its black painted body. The car door was pushed and a young man at the age range between 28-30 stepped out of the front passenger seat. He wore a business attire that fitted his lean but muscular body.

The mere sight of Guo Yun made the reporters and fans become overwhelmed. It was mainly because he was so tall and his mannerism felt like he had just come out of the military, that made them think that he was a high-ranking soldier.

But what they didn't know was that Guo Yun really did came from the military and was part of the Special Force and a Class A Lieutenant.

But maybe because of the natural charming upturn of one corner of his lips, it lessened the overwhelming aura around him, making him look more friendly than scary.

Next, Adelle got off the car with the help of Guo Yun, who opened the door for her. She created a calm and collected facade over her panicking and anxious heart to look like she was not intimidated by the countless stares she was getting from these people who came to attack her artist.

If anyone even dared to step forward, she will make them regret even using their feet!

And finally, the star that everybody was waiting for slowly came out of the car.

Guo Yun stepped forward to take her hand, helping her down and stood by her side with a protective stance he used when escorting powerful figureheads in the past when he was still in the military.

"Thank you." Ran Xueyi softly told him as she held her chin slightly up to gaze over the lines of people on the other side of the fence and straighten her back.

They really came prepared. She thought inwardly as she walked in the middle of the protective fortress namely Adelle and Guo Yun.

Wearing a dark blue spaghetti strap and backless camisole top tucked inside her white jeans and fashionable strapped shoes from a famous brand, Ran Xueyi didn't appear like she came to a battlefield where people will one-sidedly scold her and ask her ruthless questions.

Rather than that, it looked like she actually came there for an opening event of a famous flagship brand or gracing the red carpet with her presence.

Previously, Adelle thought that once Ran Xueyi appeared in front of everyone, they will hurl their questions at Ran Xueyi as well as scold her seeing how Steffanie's fans were already there. But even after a few seconds after their arrival and seeing Ran Xueyi, nobody actually said a word.

It was as if a white world was painted over the black painted wall where all noises were silenced.

But this was to be expected.

After all, instead of escaping and avoiding the press and fans who came here to scream verbal abuse at her, Ran Xueyi actually used the front entrance with no problem at all. It was as if she was never involved in a scandal or rumor.

This somehow made everyone speechless and also doubted the rumors.

Because if it were true, what kind of actress or person could actually come outside with a perfectly calm expression? Even those who prided themselves with their excellent acting couldn't achieve such a tranquil and undisturbed persona just to fake her calmness in front of everyone, right?

In short, Ran Xueyi's calm and collected appearance made them rethink and doubt the rumors.

Ran Xueyi reached the middle of the venue and stood in front of everyone. The cameras started to flash as soon as the quick-witted reporters adjusted their thoughts.

They came forward just behind the fence and heard Ran Xueyi speak.

Ran Xueyi smiled as she said to everyone, "Thank you everyone for coming here in support of the film. Director Xiao and Producer Long along with all the investors of the film will be very pleased and thankful to everyone's appearance today."

A reporter quickly said, "No need for thanks. We don't deserve it."

With Ran Xueyi's words, it reminded everyone not to ruin the peaceful booting ceremony of the film. This also made them acknowledge the fact that they cannot go over their boundaries and offend several people at once.
