How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 417 The Most Disliked Actress's Mother in the Entertainment Industry (29)
Zhu Wen had just returned to the film crew when he saw a tall and slender figure under the tree.

It's important to know that the filming locations are not as glamorous and tidy as they appear in TV dramas.

On the contrary, this place is always a mess, with all sorts of equipment and props piled on the ground, and all sorts of strange and unusual things placed in unexpected places.

In this chaotic scene, Xie Ji's Savile Row bespoke suit and limited-edition Patek Philippe Starry Night watch seemed completely out of place.

As soon as Zhu Wen stopped walking, Xie Ji's gaze immediately followed.

"Congratulations."

He nodded and called out to her.

Zhu Wen then walked over:
"Xie Ji? What are you doing here? Where's your assistant? Where's your driver?"

Xie Ji didn't have time to explain and went straight to her:
"Something has come up. Since we can't reach you by phone, Huanhuan asked me to come and tell you."

Zhu Wen was reminded and quickly took out his phone from his pocket, only to find that it was completely black.

Zhu Wen is always meticulous in his work, so it's impossible that he would forget to charge his phone.

"Looks like the phone is broken."

She offered a helpless explanation, but that wasn't her focus.

"What happened?"

Xie Ji succinctly explained the situation—

In truth, it's because Zhai Ling's lawsuit against the agency she signed with went too smoothly!
When the agency first learned that Zhai Ling was going to sue them, they called her smugly and told her to sue all she wanted, saying that they had an entire legal department that could handle the situation without any fear.

Zhai Ling remained silent until the court hearing, when she appeared with lawyer Ye Ju, shocking countless people!
And it turns out that lawyer Ye Ju was also the opposing lawyer's teacher!

However, they were the kind of people who had taken classes at university, whose opposing lawyers were deeply impressed and admired, while Attorney Ye Ju couldn't even remember the opposing lawyer's name or face.

Former teacher and student are now facing off in court. The student was utterly defeated by the teacher and had no chance to fight back!
The agency panicked, thinking that Zhai Ling had hooked up with some big shot, and even threatened to expose her.

However, Zhai Ling's public relations team, personally arranged by Xie Ji, had already prepared a series of countermeasures.

They not only brought Zhai Ling's feud with her agency to the public eye, but also let the outside world know that most of the so-called scandals were actually the work of the agency and had nothing to do with Zhai Ling!
Although many netizens expressed distrust, once the court verdict is reached, people will gradually learn the truth.

Things had been going very smoothly up to this point.

Unfortunately, the management company, in a desperate move, released an audio recording to paparazzi this morning. The person in the recording claimed to be a relative of Zhai Ling and revealed a lot about her past...

Xie Ji came to see Zhu Wen about this very matter.

Zhu Wen, with a sullen face, borrowed Xie Ji's phone.

A simple online search will reveal this audio file everywhere.

The speaker identified himself as Zhai Ling's uncle, and his tone was full of regret when he mentioned his niece, Zhai Ling.

They said that their younger brother died young, and Zhai Ling's biological mother ran off with another man. Out of a sense of duty, they, as relatives, did not want to see their niece sent to an orphanage, so they kindly adopted her.

The uncle claimed that his family was all honest and kind, but they encountered a girl named Zhai Ling who had been scheming since childhood and was overly active. She knew how to seduce other boys to spend money and give her gifts from a very young age. The uncle tried to teach Zhai Ling a lesson as an elder, but all he got was her rebellion and resistance.

The uncle felt that he and Zhai Ling were only relatives, not her biological father, so he couldn't interfere too much and could only watch helplessly as Zhai Ling went astray.

By the time she graduated from high school, Zhai Ling became increasingly restless. She took the initiative to go to a talent agency to recommend herself, hoping to seize the opportunity to enter the entertainment industry and make money. She even gave up the college entrance examination for this!
Later, Zhai Ling entered the entertainment industry and indeed became a sensation thanks to her beauty. She even sent some money to her relatives under the guise of showing concern. However, while sending the money, she warned her family members not to reveal her background.

The uncle had endured for too many years, and now he really didn't want to see Zhai Ling continue to fall into depravity, so he stood up and wanted to wake her up in this way so that she would face reality.

At the end of the audio, the old man tearfully pleaded with the following:

"Child, stop being so stubborn! Wake up! Our whole family is waiting for you as long as you come home!"

Seemingly to prove her identity, the audio recording was accompanied by a family photo of Zhai Ling.

However, everyone else in the photo was blurred out, only Zhai Ling's face was visible.

She was probably around ten years old then, and she had a particularly bright smile in the photo.

A quick scroll through the comments below reveals they're all negative about Zhai Ling.

[Oh my god, I never imagined that the little girl smiling so brightly in the photo would secretly have rotted away today.]

[My uncle was crying so hard, sob sob. If my child did that, I would definitely break her legs!]

[Girls who are restless really can't get away with it! They'll end up like Zhai Ling!]

Zhai Ling, be content. You still have family waiting for you. Otherwise, you would truly be beyond redemption!

[Oh my god, everything else is fine, but giving up the college entrance exam is something I really can't stand!]

[Wait a minute, isn't the key point of this matter Zhai Ling deliberately fabricating her background? So many people thought she was a happy, well-off middle-class only child!]

[Well, actually, fans had already dug this out, because a classmate of Zhai Ling came forward and revealed that they went to high school together in a small county town, not the overseas high school that Zhai Ling claimed to have graduated from.]

[Besides the fandom, probably not many people know this. I only saw posts from marketing accounts saying that Zhai Ling's life is the life everyone envies and hopes to have...]

[Hilarious! The life she most wants? Who wants to be like her, with her father dead, her mother gone, and her spending her days fooling around with old men?!]

[I'm so annoyed! Our reputation as girls has been ruined by people like Zhai Ling; she's like a rotten apple spoiling the whole barrel!]

……

There were also many more who used extremely offensive and emotionally charged language.

Only a few of the analyses were relatively rational:
[I find this a bit strange. Zhai Ling was recently embroiled in a lawsuit with her agency, and things seemed to be going very well. This sudden revelation seems like some company is behind it all.]

[Leaving aside whether this uncle is his biological son or not, the fact that he 'wanted to awaken his niece from her misguided ways by hiring paparazzi to expose her terrible past' is already baffling. Isn't this a complete contradiction between his thoughts and actions?]

[So you gave your relatives a lot of money to keep them quiet? Huh? Shouldn't you look at what you're saying?]
