Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Ji Xinghang’s Moves Are Quite Slick
Chapter 58 -58 Ji Xinghang’s Moves Are Quite Slick
What sent Bo Xiangxiang into a complete meltdown was that, very soon, Ji Xinghang had posted on Weibo.
But it was the complete opposite of what she had asked for.
@JiXinghangV: “Just to clarify, Miss Bo Xiangxiang and I have no personal relationship, and definitely aren’t dating in private. We are merely colleagues in the industry. Anyone spreading rumors, prepare for a letter from my lawyer.”
Once he posted this, he even denied being friends with Bo Xiangxiang, which greatly relieved the Star Fans, and consequently, they all went to berate Bo Xiangxiang for being shameless.
The Bo Fans were not having it—wasn’t Ji Xinghang’s Weibo post just asking for their Xiangxiang to be attacked!
Yan Qiuping hadn’t expected Ji Xinghang to do something like this either. So, he found a video from a few months back where Ji Xinghang was nearly splashed with sulfuric acid but was pushed out of the way and shielded by Bo Xiangxiang, and had it released.
[Top Star Ji, I was too lazy to release this video evidence before, but with you acting like this now, aren’t you just too ungrateful?]
[Wow, this melon is quite big, Bo Xiangxiang actually saved Ji Dingliu.]
[From the video, this young lady seems very brave; that was sulfuric acid, and she just ran up to save him.]
[I thought Ji Dingliu’s stance was pretty normal at first, but after watching this video, I suddenly find Ji Dingliu so nauseating. A girl shields you from sulfuric acid, and this is how you respond with your Weibo post?]
[Damn, I used to really like Ji Xinghang. I never expected him to be this kind of person.]
[Same here, I think I’m going to go from fan to hater. ]
[No wonder everyone says Bo Xiangxiang is a little angel, her actions were truly brave, I suddenly like this young lady.]
[Star baby, I liked you so much, but after watching the video, I think you’ve gone too far.]
[Ji Xinghang, if you and Bo Xiangxiang are just colleagues, then why did you go to the police station to pick her up in the middle of the night? That doesn’t sound like a simple relationship.]
[Yeah, Ji Xinghang, I didn’t expect you to be such an irresponsible person, I misjudged you.]
[I feel sorry for the young lady who shielded you from sulfuric acid.]
The direction of the wind below immediately changed, and everyone started cursing Ji Xinghang.
Throughout, Ji Xinghang was keeping an eye on Weibo and coldly laughed when he saw these comments.
This had to be Yan Qiuping’s handiwork again—holding back earlier really was the right move.
So, he posted on Weibo once again.
@JiXinghangV: “That night, I did go to the police station to pick up Bo Xiangxiang because she had previously saved me from sulfuric acid, and I wanted to show my gratitude. When she called and asked for my help, I went.
But only today did I learn the true disgusting nature of the incident. I don’t want to explain further, just watch the video and see the screenshots for yourselves.”
He quickly followed with photos and videos of Bo Xiangxiang deliberately following behind the anti-fans, instructing her assistant to bring a thick coat for her to put on, and then deliberately rushing forward faster than the bodyguards to shield him from the sulfuric acid at just the right angle.
Everyone was shocked after seeing the photos and videos.
[Damn, I didn’t expect Bo Xiangxiang’s rescue to be premeditated and deliberate, no wonder she didn’t get disfigured or hurt by the sulfuric acid.]
[She knew they were going to splash sulfuric acid and followed them on purpose without telling Ji Xinghang, and then bravely threw herself in the way to shield him. My god, the only thing I can think of is “absolutely horrifying.”]
[Could she have been in cahoots with those anti-fans from the start?]

[She did this to make Ji Dingliu feel indebted to her, didn’t she? Otherwise, why would she call him in the middle of the night to help her out?]
“Damn, got slapped in the face again. Everyone was just bashing Ji Xinghang for being ungrateful, and then suddenly Bo Xiangxiang pulls off this damsel-in-distress hero act. Clever plot twist.”
“Bo Xiangxiang is repulsive, actually plotting against our Star baby like that.”
“Bo Xiangxiang is Black Angel, right? First time seeing someone’s PR backfire so quickly.”
Earlier, everyone was bad-mouthing Ji Xinghang so fiercely, and now they were doubly cursing out Bo Xiangxiang.
Especially the Star Fans, whose combat effectiveness in the entertainment circle was already top-tier, migrated to the official Weibo of Star Emperor Entertainment to vent their anger since Bo Xiangxiang had disabled comments on hers; they also went to Yan Qiuping’s Weibo to scold her.
This incident, because of Top Star Ji’s popularity, shot straight to the top of the trending searches.
At that time, Luo Ning was in her company’s workspace, going through a pile of scripts that Fang Yan had sourced for her selection.
Xi Shu, who had caught up with the Weibo drama, excitedly said to Luo Ning, “Ningning, that Bo Xiangxiang has crashed and burned; she and Ji Xinghang have fallen out.”
“Ji Xinghang had been so nice to her before, and it turns out it was because she had helped him block an acid attack.” She was also hearing this for the first time.
While flipping through scripts, Luo Ning asked, “Has Ji Xinghang responded to the photo incident?”
“Yeah, not only did he respond, but he also explained why he helped Bo Xiangxiang, and he posted photos and videos proving that her help was premeditated and calculated. Now everyone is cursing out Bo Xiangxiang on the Internet.”
“Our Star Emperor’s official Weibo is nearly overrun; Ji Xinghang’s handling of it was quite savvy,” said Xi Shu with a smacking of her lips.
Ji Xinghang was known for his clear-cut love and hate, and knowing that he’d been duped by Bo Xiangxiang, it was only a matter of time before he would strike back—he had indeed exploded.
This time, he used Weibo to counterattack with a roundabout slap in the face, and it had to be said, he did it beautifully.
Luo Ning, seeing Xi Shu so excited, looked up and asked with a smile, “Enjoying the drama, are you?”
Xi Shu nodded and laughed, “Absolutely thrilling. I’m curious to see how that ‘fragile flower’ Bo Xiangxiang is going to play innocent now.”
“Now, there’s no way she’s getting the lead role in that royal court drama. That director dislikes using actors with any scandals,” she said with a hint of schadenfreude in her voice.
That woman had been fixated on targeting her Ningning; now she herself had suffered retribution and was just getting her just desserts. Whoever starts trouble first is asking for it—no sympathy deserved.
“She definitely won’t be getting that lead role,” said Luo Ning.
Fang Yan, who knew about that royal court series, asked Luo Ning, “I have read the script for that court drama, and it’s quite good, with potential to go viral. Do you want to go for the lead role?”
“Your recent variety show appearances have whitewashed you a lot; your popularity and buzz are up, and I happen to know the director. If you want it, I can help you secure the part,” he added.
Luo Ning shook her head, “No thanks, I’m not particularly interested in court dramas for now, and besides, if Bo Xiangxiang doesn’t get the lead, the director will probably stick with the originally selected actress. I don’t want to compete with her for the role.”
She knew this court drama was going to be a hit and would become a dark horse web drama by year’s end, but she didn’t want to steal someone else’s opportunity to shine.
Having lived life once before, besides seeking revenge, she just wanted to live freely and make her own way in the entertainment industry based on her own abilities. So, she wouldn’t use her foresight as the Prophet to snatch someone else’s opportunities.
Otherwise, she could easily grab or pre-emptively take roles from scripts that were destined to be successful.
If she did that, it would be tasteless. Don’t others have the right to what originally belonged to them?
She didn’t want to become the type of person she loathed the most. Otherwise, how would she be any different from Bo Xiangxiang?
Fang Yan paused after her last remark and then smiled, “It’s good that you have such a mindset.”
Sticking to your own guns, not seizing others’, having your own principles, and maintaining your integrity—it was hard not to like Luo Ning for that.
He had a feeling that Luo Ning just might be the one to put a perfect end to his career as a talent agent.
