Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 1059: Who Says Women Are Timid?

The thing female celebrities care most about is their face, and Chu Yin is no exception.

She’s been doing a light fasting and exercising more these last couple of days.

She wants to present herself in the best possible state before the camera.

If there’s an allergic reaction, she would either cancel the job or tough it out.

Either way, it’s not good for Chu Yin.

Lin Zhiyi suddenly recalled the reaction of Chu Wu and Sister Meng during the shoot.

She asked, "If Chu Yin can’t participate in the live event, what would Sister Meng do?"

Chu Yin thought for a moment: "For unimportant artists, they would be directly removed. If it’s someone with screen presence, sometimes a replacement would be found to film briefly; after all, it’s just a few seconds on screen in the end."

"But this live show, you’re one of the main roles, and the program team definitely won’t leave it blank. The best way is..."

"To find someone to replace me on the show." Chu Yin said, "It’s Chu Wu. She is now an artist at Xiao Yun Entertainment, joining us right after. It’s clear her backing company is targeting me."

The circle naturally loves comparisons, and there are too many people who could replace someone.

No matter what the opposing side’s motive in signing Chu Wu is, Chu Wu surely is the person who knows Chu Yin best.

Lin Zhiyi then asked, "Third Young Master, why did you send Chen Jin to the hospital?"

Gong Chen replied, "That’s the second possibility. If Chu Yin toughs it out and attends the live reality show, she can release photos of Chu Yin at the hospital."

Lin Zhiyi didn’t understand: "Shouldn’t seeing a doctor when sick be no problem?"

Gong Chen looked at Chu Yin’s face, now less red due to medication and ointment.

But if they hadn’t been there, considering the spread of the allergy, her appearance in the hospital would look terrible.

Gong Chen said, "It depends on what kind of doctor Chu Yin consults."

Lin Zhiyi suddenly understood, "You mean Chu Wu already arranged someone to take photos claiming Chu Yin got ruined by cosmetic surgery? Or... there was an issue with the procedure."

"Hmm."

Gong Chen nodded.

He had previously taught Lin Zhiyi: three points of suspicion when facing good people, twelve when facing bad ones.

Making baseless accusations that Chu Yin had cosmetic surgery was definitely something Chu Wu would do.

Especially since she mentioned the car accident and cosmetic surgery today during the shoot.

Lin Zhiyi always felt Chu Wu was foreshadowing something.

Turns out, she was prepared to step on Chu Yin to advance.

Chu Yin is more famous than her now; when Chu Yin’s plastic surgery story heats up, she can pitifully explain that she had no choice but to undergo surgery.

Comparatively, Chu Yin’s cosmetic surgery would be more sensational.

She could even replace Chu Yin on the show.

As they were talking, Chen Jin came back.

He also had a camera in his hand.

"There was indeed a paparazzo, but I didn’t make it public, just sent him back to report to Chu Wu."

Just then, Zhou Zhao also arrived.

"The test results are out, there were components of yam skin detected on the boxes."

Chu Yin felt a shiver of disgust hearing this.

"She still dislikes me as always. I’m allergic to yam skin; I discovered this when making yam pork rib soup for my mom in high school. When I told my mom, she didn’t take it seriously, said I was making excuses to be lazy. Didn’t expect the only person who remembered was Chu Wu."

Chu Yin’s family is like a microcosm of millions, seemingly normal but suffocating in every corner.

Everything that is spoken about are trivial matters, but accumulated bit by bit, enough to crush a person.

Lin Zhiyi wanted to comfort Chu Yin, but then noticed Sang Li’s expression had changed.

She immediately held back, it was a look she’d never seen on Sang Li before.

Ruthless.

Years ago when Sang Li confessed, he was gentle, making one feel he was a man to rely on.

Later on, Lin Zhiyi discovered Sang Li harbored some guilt in approaching her.

That’s when she understood their love couldn’t gradually deepen.

Because of his guilt, Sang Li was especially lenient to her, particularly heartbroken over her grievances.

He’s very good except not ruthless.

The kind of ruthlessness where, seeing a beloved harmed, one seeks justice with fury.

But now, the coldness in his eyes is frightening.

"Cough, cough."

Gong Chen coughed a few times, raising his eyes to stare at Lin Zhiyi, as if questioning why she was watching Sang Li.

Lin Zhiyi almost felt like laughing.

She sat back next to Gong Chen, gently scratching his palm with her fingertip.

"I’m worried about Chu Yin."

"Hmm." the man gave a deep, resonant sound.

Lin Zhiyi steered the conversation back, "Since we got this figured out, what should be done next? Chu Yin’s face is okay, but her neck is still red; I wonder if it can be handled by tomorrow."

Chu Yin picked up the mirror and looked, thoughtfully pursing her lips.

"It’s okay, just like this."

"What?" Lin Zhiyi was a little surprised.

Chu Yin looked at Lin Zhiyi with determination, "Just show up like this, I have a plan. Chu Wu knows me, but likewise, I know Chu Wu. Her biggest mistake was exposing herself too early; if she played for even two more days, I’d struggle to read her mind."

Seeing Chu Yin full of confidence, Lin Zhiyi did not stop her.

She was only particularly curious about another matter.

"Xiao Yun Entertainment is an established entertainment company, isn’t their choice of artists very strict? Why would they sign someone like Chu Wu? Even eager to help him step on Chu Yin."

Sang Li pondered, "It’s unlikely to be unrelated to that person."

Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin both looked at Sang Li.

Sang Li took out a file and handed it to Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin.

"It’s her, Bai Hui, the daughter of Bai Lao Master’s brother. She was raised by Bai Lao Master, and later married into the Zhang Family, but her husband passed away early, now the Zhang Family nearly carries the Bai surname."

Gong Chen added, "All these years, Bai Lao Master probably supported her in secret, so she holds considerable power in Hai City. Now that the Bai Family has fallen, one can imagine the impact on the Zhang Family." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Lin Zhiyi sighed, "So this thing with Chu Wu is also her doing?"

"Chu Wu signing an entertainment company in Hai City must be her intention, now she can target either Chu Yin or me." Sang Li said.

Lin Zhiyi looked at Chu Yin: "Chu Yin, you must be careful."

Chu Yin nodded: "Rest assured."

Then, Gong Chen asked, "Any movement from Chu Wu?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yin immediately perked up.

"Chu Wu got cosmetic surgery! She transformed into Zhiyi! We just focused on figuring out the allergy, ended up neglecting such an important matter."

Gong Chen frowned: "She got surgery? In Zhiyi’s likeness?"

Lin Zhiyi nodded, "Not just any surgery, it’s cranial bone cement."

"What cement?" Gong Chen clearly didn’t understand how women’s cosmetic surgery involved cement.

Lin Zhiyi explained: "It involves filling the head with cosmetic surgery-used cement."

All four men present had difficult expressions after hearing her description.

Zhou Zhao clicked his tongue twice: "Who says women are timid? How’s this different from torture?"

Chu Yin said: "With this, her silhouette and Zhiyi’s are nearly identical; plus she learned Zhiyi’s demeanor, who knows what she’s plotting."
