CHAPTER 325: DESPERATE MEASURES

Linda was heartbroken and frustrated. Han Bi opened another bottle of wine and tilted her head back to drink. Linda watched her drown her sorrows in wine with a complex look on her face and then suddenly said, "Han Bi, since you hate Wen Nuan so much, why don’t you destroy her? She’s a public figure, and it’s easy to create a scandal. Her popularity will plummet, and you’ll get your revenge."

"What are you saying?" Han Bi stopped and looked at Linda. "You want me to do something so despicable? You know the rules of this industry better than anyone."

As a celebrity, a public figure, it was taboo to bad-mouth a fellow artist. It was even more so to use underhanded tactics, unless you could do it cleanly, or it would backfire.

"Han Bi, you’re so naive. Who said you have to do it yourself?" Linda said with a cold laugh. "The Golden Chapter Awards are coming up. Ye Feimo is going to promote Wen Nuan, and she’ll definitely win the Newcomer Award. She’s also probably going to be in the running for Best Actress and Most Popular Actress. Are you willing to just stand by and watch? Think about when you first started out. How long did it take you to win an award? She’s going to get so many awards and so much recognition just from one movie. Are you willing to just let that happen?"

She was not.

Han Bi looked at Linda coldly. What kind of terrible idea was she coming up with now?

"The Golden Chapter Awards are already rigged. Wen Nuan will definitely get the Newcomer Award. What can you do?" Han Bi asked with a blank expression. It seemed like there was nothing she could do. Wen Nuan was just too lucky, and all she could do was feel jealous.

"Have you forgotten? We have the video from Casablanca. With a little editing, it would be easy to create the illusion that Wen Nuan was sleeping with people to get ahead and that she has a dirty private life. Even if Second Young Master Ye tries to protect her, once the video is leaked, Wen Nuan’s image will be ruined. The judges will have to take that into consideration. If she’s involved in a scandal, what right does she have to win the Newcomer Award? She probably won’t even be able to attend the awards ceremony. No matter how much Second Young Master Ye tries to protect her, he won’t be able to protect her from this." A sinister smile appeared on Linda’s face.

Han Bi looked away and stared into the dark night. Her eyes were terrifyingly cold, as if they had been swallowed by the endless darkness. A video... to use such a dirty trick to frame an artist?

She had experienced all sorts of backstabbing in the entertainment industry over the years, but she had never done anything so low. It was too immoral and disgusting.

A few years ago, Li Yuanyuan was also framed in a similar way. She hated Li Yuanyuan, and the woman had even hit her, but when she heard about what happened from abroad, she still felt that the person who framed her was a terrible person.

Luckily, Li Yuanyuan was a popular actress at Anning, and Gu Xiaobei went to great lengths to suppress the rumor and restore her public image, and she slowly got better.

Was she now going to do the very thing she used to hate?

Han Bi, Han Bi, have you really fallen this low?

Harming Wen Nuan on set was one thing. At most, it would just be a lesson and a little physical injury, which she didn’t mind. However, releasing that video was something Han Bi was against.

"Han Bi, what are you thinking? This is your best chance. Once Wen Nuan is destroyed, she might also become bitter, and her mind might become twisted. Don’t you hate how lucky and successful she is?" Linda continued to try and persuade Han Bi.

"Enough, stop talking," Han Bi said in a low voice. "I don’t want to do that."

"What are you thinking? Wen Nuan slapped you. Don’t you hate her?"

"Yes, she hit me. I’ll get my revenge in another way, but not like this," Han Bi said in a low voice, her eyes sharp.

"Besides this, what other way can you get revenge on her? Don’t forget, the Golden Chapter Awards are starting soon. The timing would be perfect to release a scandal right before the ceremony. Don’t miss this opportunity," Linda said. Han Bi was silent.

She was right. Besides that video, how else could she get revenge on Wen Nuan?

Ye Feimo was ignoring her now and wasn’t answering her calls. She was starting to believe that he had truly fallen in love with Wen Nuan, and the idea of getting him back was just a fantasy. It was impossible.

If it weren’t for Wen Nuan...

If Wen Nuan’s reputation was ruined, maybe she would have a chance, but otherwise, she had none.

But should she really do it?

Should she become a person she herself would despise?

The auditions for *Red Jade* were still ongoing. After getting married, Wen Nuan and Ye Feimo stayed at the Wen family’s house for a week before moving back to their own apartment. Since Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya were still traveling the world and having a blast, they hadn’t come back yet. Wen Nuan felt no pressure, and the couple was deeply in love.

Wen Nuan’s work was not busy during this time. Besides promoting her TV show, *Princess Qinglian*, she had a lot of free time, which was a rare thing for her.

Most of the time, she was at home, researching recipes and how to take care of Ye Feimo’s stomach. She was very focused on this. She learned how to make many medicinal dishes and nourished Ye Feimo very well. One day, when Tang Shuwen, Ye Feimo, Lin Ning, and the others were playing golf, Lin Ning suddenly said, "Feimo, you’ve gained weight."

Tang Shuwen looked at Ye Feimo and stroked his chin, nodding. He had indeed gained weight.

Lin Diyun turned his head. "No wonder I’ve been feeling like something was off with Feimo lately. It’s because his face has gotten a little chubby."

Ye Feimo frowned. When he changed his clothes, he specifically looked in the mirror. He had been looking very healthy lately, and his face was rosy. His face used to be sharp and angular, but now it was much rounder. The lines on his face seemed to have softened, and he didn’t look as cold and indifferent as he used to. He had a bit of a human touch to him.

"This is a first. Feimo, have you been having a good time lately?" Lin Ning asked with a smile. "What did Wen Nuan do to you? She made your face so round. At this rate, you’ll be fat in a month."

Fat?

A picture of himself with a receding hairline, a beer belly, and a greasy face suddenly popped into Ye Feimo’s mind, and he was struck. *Oh my god, who is that creepy guy?* Second Young Master Ye was suddenly flustered. He couldn’t get the image of himself with a receding hairline and a beer belly out of his mind. He immediately got goosebumps, and it felt like all hell was breaking loose.

He suddenly remembered a conversation he had with Wen Nuan a few days ago. Wen Nuan was making a medicinal dish at the time. She was holding the dish and said, "Feimo, you look so healthy lately. You have a little bit of meat on your waist, which feels so good to hug."

Second Young Master Ye thought to himself, *Of course, it’s comfortable to hug him while sleeping.* He also squeezed his waist and felt that it was indeed a little bigger. His pants were even a little tight.
