Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 1130: Fake Recording

By the time Chu Yin realized, the buzz online had already shifted, and no one cared about whether she was the third party in a relationship.

The focus was entirely on Zhang Shutong.

Especially that particular movie, as its core was related to the struggles of the lower class.

Now, Zhang Shutong’s blatant disregard for the statement seemed like a slap in the face to the film.

Then everyone started dissecting the relationship between the director and Zhang Shutong.

As they dug deeper, Sister Meng was brought into the spotlight.

Qi Rong had been in the limelight recently, so her connections with Sister Meng were also reexamined.

Sister Meng was directly labeled as a tumor.

Even if Sister Meng wanted to lay low and hide in the murky waters, it was too late.

Everyone was determined not to let her off the hook.

Sister Meng initially wanted to ask Bai Hui for help, but Bai Hui and her family were barely managing to protect themselves, so how could they help her?

Sister Meng had no choice but to take the risk and threaten the big shots with evidence.

On the first night, she almost got run over.

But by the next morning, Sister Meng went to the police station to turn herself in.

When Chu Yin found out about this, she had just woken up. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She grabbed her phone and ran out of the bedroom, stopping in front of Sang Li.

"Was it you who tried to run over Sister Meng?"

"Yeah." Sang Li nodded, "I thought it would take at least three tries, I didn’t expect her to scare so easily and turn herself in right away."

"Nice." Chu Yin clapped her hands, "At least one tumor is gone. What about Zhang Shutong now?"

"You probably know better than me what happens in the entertainment industry without support."

"Looks like that path is closed for her. Not only that, she caused the movie’s delay as soon as she debuted. Even as the eldest daughter of the Zhang Family, no one would dare to use her now," Chu Yin said.

But there was something she was still concerned about.

"What about Fan Yun? Now that Zhang Shutong is in such a position, won’t it affect his recent announcement?"

Sang Li raised his hand to his temple: "No, it’ll actually elevate him."

Chu Yin looked at him, puzzled.

Sang Li explained, "Whether it’s his announcement or his attitude towards you, Fan Yun has always been clear. That’s what netizens and fans want—clarity. But it’s different for Zhang Shutong; she needs a distraction for the public."

"I was the third party so Fan Yun can release his evidence, and our gun pointed at Zhang Shutong will be redirected."

"Just doing that isn’t enough; a special reason is needed to let you two off the hook," Sang Li said slowly.

"What kind of reason?"

"You’ll know when the time comes."

Sang Li stood up with a faint smile.

Chu Yin curiously followed behind him.

"What is it? Are you deliberately keeping me in suspense?"

Sang Li smiled but said nothing.

At this moment, the assistant called Chu Yin.

"Sister, I’m here to pick you up. I specifically arranged with the makeup artist for us to do makeup on-site since it’s a night scene today, so no rush."

"Okay. I’ll send you the address, and be careful not to be followed."

"Got it."

Forty minutes later, the assistant arrived downstairs.

Chu Yin turned to look at Sang Li, who was all dressed up.

"I’m leaving... hmm."

Sang Li solemnly pulled her over and kissed her hard.

"Don’t try to tough it out if something happens."

Chu Yin nodded, out of breath, "Okay."

Only then did Sang Li let her go.

...

On set.

Fan Yun appeared furtively.

Chu Yin handed him a cup of coffee for the night shoot.

"Bro, are you sneaking around?"

"Thank you. I’m about to cry—I can’t even open my phone without seeing fans urging me to break up."

"That’s good news," Chu Yin said.

"Good? What’s good about it?"

"At least they’re not cursing at you because of Zhang Shutong. They’re urging you to break up, which means everyone acknowledges your character," Chu Yin comforted.

Fan Yun paused.

"When you put it that way, it does make sense."

"Don’t worry, Assistant Zhou will definitely help you," Chu Yin said with a smile.

"Assistant Zhou, huh, this is..."

"What’s wrong?"

"I just have to tell you, doesn’t Assistant Zhou seem to... have some thoughts about men?" Fan Yun twirled his fingers.

Trying to make Chu Yin understand what he meant.

"What thoughts?"

Chu Yin was startled, thinking Fan Yun might know something.

Fan Yun looked as if he decided to go all out.

"I know I rely on my looks, but I really have no interest in men."

Hearing this, Chu Yin burst out laughing.

"Did you misunderstand?"

"I hope it’s just a misunderstanding, but look how he talks to me. It feels like he’s treating me like a girlfriend."

Fan Yun scrolled through their chat history as he spoke.

The scene suddenly felt very familiar to Chu Yin.

Fan Yun nudged her, "Why are you laughing? I do have male fans, but never like this."

"Don’t worry, Assistant Zhou definitely isn’t interested in you," Chu Yin reassured.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely sure." Chu Yin laughed.

"Why?"

"You’re still a little lacking," Chu Yin said, raising her hand to indicate a gap.

"Lacking? Who could be better than me?"

Fan Yun’s competitive spirit kicked in.

Chu Yin took out her phone and found a photo they had taken together.

Apart from Sang Li and Gong Chen, everyone else was in it.

Chu Yin pointed at Chen Jin.

"What about this one?"

"You’re... being a bit harsh," Fan Yun admitted defeat.

His face was indeed more handsome than Chen Jin’s.

But in terms of aura, he was overshadowed.

Aura seemed intangible, but once compared, it was clear as day.

Fan Yun knew better than to argue.

"I regret asking you now," Fan Yun pressed his lips.

"Bro, focus on filming. Good times are just around the corner."

"..."

Fan Yun had his doubts.

However, later that evening while filming, another wave started online.

Just as Sang Li predicted, Zhang Shutong named both Chu Yin and Fan Yun, accusing them of having an inappropriate relationship to divert attention.

Then a paparazzo released a recording of Zhang Shutong questioning Fan Yun.

In the recording, Fan Yun all but admitted to having an improper relationship with Chu Yin.

Followed by a conversation between Fan Yun and Chu Yin.

Full of cheesy dialogue.

All of a sudden...

The netizens started to curse Zhang Shutong while also lashing out at Chu Yin and Fan Yun.

This kind of uproar hadn’t been seen in a decade.

No victims here, all scoundrels.

Sitting in the corner sipping tea, Chu Yin and Fan Yun were almost in tears.

Fan Yun sighed repeatedly, "I’m doomed, how could it come to this? No wonder Mr. Sang kept warning me about Zhang Jia being a computer whiz; he actually pieced together a fake recording from bits of our conversation."

Chu Yin mused, "It’s so realistic. If we didn’t trust each other, we might have turned on each other."

Fan Yun began to worry, "Why hasn’t Assistant Zhou released the evidence yet?"

Just as he finished, Chu Yin widened her eyes at her phone.

"Quick, check online, a paparazzo claims to have caught you two dining together."

Fan Yun immediately checked.

Sure enough, it was the recording he gave to Zhou Zhao, but after the paparazzo’s edits, it took on a different meaning.

If Zhang Jia dared to splice things together, why couldn’t they edit it?

This was a case of an eye for an eye.
