Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 252 - 252 251 Going Mad with Anger

?Chapter 252: Chapter 251: Going Mad with Anger Chapter 252: Chapter 251: Going Mad with Anger Bao Baoyu was at the hospital with Feng Yuxiao.

Feng Yuxiao had already learned from Bao Baoyu about the incident where Luo Ning spread rumors and dirtied her name at the banquet, and she was nearly fuming with anger.

If this news got out, how could she hold her head up in the circle of the wealthy?

Although she was seething with hatred, she couldn’t leave the hospital right now.

The old man couldn’t die yet, so they had to continue waiting on him.

Having him wake up and see her first would be to her advantage when it came to inheriting the Gou Group.

Feng Yuxiao planned in her heart that once she had dealt with the old man’s situation, she would find a way to utterly destroy Luo Ning.

A little star dared to oppose her—what gall.

Old Man Gou had been unconscious for quite a while this time and only awoke at night.

Opening his eyes and seeing Bao Baoyu and Feng Yuxiao brought a sense of relief, but his face couldn’t help but darken.

Bao Baoyu had followed Old Man Gou for so many years, how could she not know what he was thinking?

Therefore, she started tearing up and cried, claiming she had no knowledge of Gou Zhenmei hiring someone to kill Jiang Xinxin.

She would have liked to pin everything on Luo Ning, claiming that it was just rumors, but who could have expected her disappointing daughter to expose herself? Thus, she was left with no choice but to cry and apologize.

She also said she had already sent Gou Zhenmei back to reflect on her actions and forbade her from doing anything like it again.

Various low and insincere apologies to Old Man Gou, condemning her daughter Gou Zhenmei, and even suggesting that she would go and apologize to Jiang Xinxin and make restitution.

She also hinted that Jiang Xinxin was fine now and was not dead.

Gou Zhenmei had become jealous and made a mistake because she realized that Feng Yanbai was still not over Jiang Xinxin.

While outwardly scolding Gou Zhenmei, she actually deflected quite a bit of responsibility, implying that her daughter hadn’t done it on purpose.

Sure enough, she had managed to soften Old Man Gou’s heart with her tears. After all, she was the virtuous and considerate woman who had been with him for more than twenty years, and he still valued her.

He spoke weakly, “Don’t cry anymore. Indeed, what Zhenmei did was wrong. She doesn’t have to come back anymore.”

Regardless of whether Gou Zhenmei did it intentionally, the fact that she had acted against his biological daughter behind his back twenty years ago was still somewhat hard for him to accept.

After all, in his eyes, this stepdaughter was also a kind and considerate person.

He was shocked by her crazed behavior today; it was as if he was seeing her for the first time in all these years.

So he found it somewhat hard to admit that he had misjudged someone.

And thinking about Luo Ning’s rumors, he was still furious.

Not allowing Gou Zhenmei to return was also an attempt to avoid suspicion, so as not to give others a reason to spread rumors again.

Bao Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his reaction; her tactic had indeed worked.

She then offered him caring promises of resolve and comfort.

She also had no plans to let her daughter return to the Gou Family anytime soon. They were currently in the eye of the storm, and she couldn’t give anyone a handle against them.

Once the old man’s anger had cooled down, she had ways of making him forgive her daughter.

Just as Bao Baoyu had calmed Old Man Gou down, Feng Yuxiao’s phone suddenly rang.

Seeing it was her boyfriend calling, she immediately picked up.

To her shock, his first question was accusatory, “Are you Chairman Gou’s illegitimate daughter?”

The question nearly enraged Feng Yuxiao to death, “How could that be possible? Don’t believe the nonsense being spread around. It’s all rumors fabricated by that Luo Ning.”

But the caller just let out a cold laugh, “I’m the one talking nonsense? Your dissolute mother is all over the trending searches now. Who in the circle doesn’t know about her affair with Chairman Gou?”

“She’s not just flirtatious with Chairman Gou, but with plenty of other men as well.”

“Your mom’s character is just like that, and my family won’t allow me to associate with you anymore, so let’s break up.”

The reason he had broken up with his ex-girlfriend wasn’t solely because he was seduced by Feng Yuxiao, but also, and perhaps more importantly, because Feng Yuxiao was expected to inherit the Gou Group.

But now the reputation of the Gou Family was completely tarnished. His family heard about it and immediately advised him to break up; they couldn’t afford to lose face like that.

He couldn’t attend the cocktail party this time, but his family members went.

He heard that Feng Yuxiao had even tried to approach the young master of the Huo Family, only to be snubbed.

Hence, he highly suspected that if Feng Yuxiao could seduce him in the past, she might very well seduce others in the future, probably as promiscuous as her mother.

He certainly didn’t want to end up wearing a green hat or have his head turned into a grassland.

Feng Yuxiao asked in disbelief, “Are you actually breaking up with me over such a rumor?”

“Whether it’s a rumor or not, your family knows the truth. If you aren’t Chairman Gou’s daughter, would he let you be the heir?”

He had always thought that Chairman Gou’s biological daughter had died outside, and since he and Bao Baoyu hadn’t had any other children, it was only out of necessity that the unrelated Feng Yuxiao was set to inherit the Gou Family.

But now it was clear that wasn’t the case; the biological daughter was alive and had returned.

If it were him, the family business would definitely go to the biological child; an outsider wouldn’t stand a chance.

So, he had actually come to believe the rumors that were circulating.

Feng Yuxiao hastily explained, “It’s not like that at all; listen to me, I can go and have a paternity test done with my dad.”

She was clear about whether or not she was Old Man Gou’s daughter.

Although her mother had indeed kept a young man behind her father’s back, she was certain she was her father’s flesh and blood.

But her boyfriend didn’t want to listen to this, “No need to explain; let’s just leave it at that.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Although it was a pity to lose the Gou Group, he didn’t want to end up like Feng Yanbai, now the butt of jokes in the wealthy social circle.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Feng Yuxiao was so angry she wanted to smash her cell phone.

But she still held back and redialed, unwilling to let go of her current boyfriend until she found a more powerful and influential man.

To her knowledge, she couldn’t get through at all; obviously, she had been blocked.

Feng Yuxiao was livid; she considered herself to be tremendously charming, having completely infatuated him.

But she couldn’t accept that he had initiated a breakup just because of those messy rumors.

Remembering what he said, she immediately opened the web page to check the trending searches.

Then she saw that post and all sorts of scathing comments below.

Not only had the news of her mother stealing her father been leaked, but also the scandal of her snatching her best friend’s fiancé.

She and her mother were described by many as “chickens,” implying that they would try to hook up with any man.

Some even asked for their phone numbers, saying they wanted to pay for a night with them to taste what sluts were like.

This made Feng Yuxiao not only furious, but on the verge of going insane.

How could these people say such things; it was complete slander.

She had used public opinion before to deal with many people she disdained, including that best friend.

She had relentlessly smeared the woman in the social circle, which is why she had been constantly berated.

She had taken away the man the woman was engaged to, and many people thought it was normal; after all, with how she had deliberately blackened the woman’s reputation, everyone believed that the woman’s nasty temper was more than any man could tolerate.

However, she never imagined that one day she would be in the same situation.
