Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil-Chapter 1252 - 1177: Elite Heir?

In the venue, there were reporters taking photos outside, promoting the charitable actions of these celebrity tycoons.

Yun Xi sat quietly in a corner, dressed in a black evening gown adorned with silver-white scales, which perfectly complemented Yun Xi’s alluring figure.

At this moment, Yun Xi was stunningly beautiful, making one’s heart skip a beat. It must be said, Yun Xi’s looks were indeed top-notch, no wonder she had so many fans. Even in the entertainment industry, where beauties abound, it’s hard to find anyone who could match Yun Xi’s appearance.

Not far away, there was a photographer, but Yun Xi’s expression was quite indifferent, leaving the photographer somewhat helpless.

"Sister Wang, make Yun Xi a bit happier. She’s here for the charity gala, to donate for the people in the mountainous areas. Yun Xi’s reputation isn’t great to begin with, and if she looks like this, the photos will surely attract criticism." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The photographer said to Sister Wang beside him.

Sister Wang was well aware that this was Yun Xi’s first public appearance after that incident. Initially, Sister Wang wanted to use the charity gala to help Yun Xi regain the public’s goodwill.

But Yun Xi’s expression, if it were published, would undoubtedly be seized by online trolls, who’d criticize her for being hypocritical and insincere in her charity.

"This is for donating to the people in the mountainous areas, and you look so unhappy. It’s plain to see you’re not sincerely donating, that you lack compassion, and are terribly hypocritical."

Sister Wang had already predicted the online comments.

"Yun Xi, try to be happy. This is your first appearance, and it’s crucial for rehabilitating your reputation," advised Sister Wang.

Yun Xi immediately put on a smile, but it seemed somewhat forced and absent-minded, showing no hint of genuine happiness.

Sister Wang shook her head helplessly and said to the photographer, "Forget it, let’s just leave it for today. Let’s stop taking photos."

The photographer nodded, having no objections, as he had already received his fee and was somewhat relieved to not have to take more photos or publish any news.

When the photographer left, Sister Wang sat down next to Yun Xi and earnestly said, "Yun Xi, you can’t continue like this. If you do, your career will be completely ruined."

"I’m sorry, Sister Wang. I’m not in a good mood; I can’t cheer up. Besides, this kind of charity gala is just for show, it means nothing," Yun Xi said calmly while playing with her hair.

She didn’t believe that anyone here truly cared about the poor in the mountainous areas. Even Yun Xi herself wasn’t that altruistic.

On regular days, Yun Xi would be happy to show some compassion, or donate some money. But if asked if she genuinely cared deeply about the poor, Yun Xi admitted she wasn’t that noble.

Moreover, the sole purpose of such charity galas was impure; they were just performances, leaving Yun Xi completely uninspired.

"I know all that, but this is about your future. Charity galas are the best way to generate goodwill with the public. Even if it’s just a show, you need to at least pretend to be happy," Sister Wang said, shaking her head.

Yun Xi tossed her hair. She had been pretending for many years, her nature was always lively and active. However, because of her ancient style singing, to fit her image, she always pretended to be gentle and graceful in the public eye.

But now, Yun Xi suddenly didn’t want to pretend anymore. She was tired of the facade, feeling that as a megastar she lived a too exhausting life.

"Yun Xi, what’s the matter? Why the long face?" At that moment, a young man in a black tailcoat approached Yun Xi with a glass of wine and a confident smile.

Beside the young man in the tailcoat, there was a woman in a dark evening gown, revealing a deep cleavage. The woman’s figure and looks were exceptional, but she seemed slightly older than Yun Xi.

"Yun Xi, you must be under pressure from the recent public opinion. Don’t mind it, just disappear for a while, and when things blow over, no one will care anymore," the woman said with a light laugh, showing some concern.

Sister Wang’s eyes slightly darkened because she could see through this woman’s intentions. If Yun Xi truly disappeared for a while, her popularity would plummet in the ever-changing entertainment circle, making it tough to rise again.

"Thank you, Young Master Peng and Sister Ling, for your concern. I’m fine," Yun Xi shook her head, forcing a rather stiff smile.

"Yun Xi, why not join our company? Let me handle these matters. I promise I’ll make those reports disappear in no time, and those comments will sink like a stone," Young Master Peng said, swirling his glass of wine, his eyes flashing with a hint of desire as he looked at the beautiful Yun Xi.

He was the son of the president of Kuyin Entertainment Company, with family assets worth billions, an undeniably wealthy and noble playboy.

Everyone in the circle knew that this wealthy heir, Zhou Feipeng, always liked Yun Xi. Unfortunately, Yun Xi wasn’t part of Kuyin Entertainment, and despite years of pursuit, Zhou Feipeng had never succeeded.

Zhou Feipeng was considered a clean stream in the entertainment industry; the president’s son of Kuyin Entertainment never resorted to any violent means but always acted like a gentleman.

Evidently, even Young Master Peng developed genuine feelings. If this young master of Kuyin Entertainment really pursued Yun Xi, he probably intended to marry her, making Yun Xi a true wealthy wife.

"No, thank you. I’ll deal with it myself," Yun Xi shook her head and said.

"Yun Xi, you don’t need to worry. As long as you come to Kuyin, I’ll handle the breach of contract matters for you," Zhou Feipeng said somewhat eagerly.

Standing nearby, Sister Ling’s eyes slightly shifted, a trace of resentment flashing through her heart. As a Kuyin artist, having followed Zhou Feipeng for years and becoming Kuyin’s leading lady, she could never measure up to Yun Xi.

If Yun Xi really changed to Kuyin, under the personal support of the president’s son, combined with Yun Xi’s base popularity and beauty, she would undoubtedly replace her.

Moreover, Yun Xi’s constant rejection of Zhou Feipeng greatly wounded Sister Ling’s pride. What she cherished, others could easily obtain, yet continually refused.

Whether Yun Xi rejected or accepted Zhou Feipeng, Sister Ling had reasons to resent Yun Xi, but she hid it well, maintaining a faint smile, seeming very concerned for Yun Xi.

"No need, I’ll handle it myself," Yun Xi shook her head, directly refusing.

She loved singing and valued her star path, hoping her career would reach new heights, that more fans would appreciate her, and that her Huaxia-style music could become a mainstream in Huayu pop, even garnering a spot in the international music scene.
