Chapter 2: Too Many Side Leads with Cheats (2)
She cupped her phone and smacked her lips, saying, "Damn. Who's this stunning woman? I can't even be jealous of this beauty. I want to marry her!"
Manager Wen Mei glanced at her as if looking at a "retard," and asked, "Lin Yueqi, are you ok?"
Then, she heard Lin Yueqi said, "F*ck. While I was nervously preparing for the college entrance exam, I can't believe I missed the presence of such a beautiful actress within the entertainment industry... my desire to become an actress has grown stronger! I want to be closer to this beautiful little sister!"
Wen Mei was speechless. She's crazy for sure.
The ambulance arrived at the hospital and the doctor treated Lin Yueqi's wound.
After returning to the ward, the doctor in charge carefully explained her conditions, "Miss Lin's hippocampus has been stirred because of this injury and it had triggered an intense reaction, directly cutting off her memory after 17 years old. That means that whether it be her mental state or her memory, she is just a 17-year-old high school student. Plus, the injuries on her face were too serious and even if it healed, it will still leave a scar. She might need plastic surgery."
Wen Mei asked seriously, "That serious? About how long before she can make a full recovery?"
The doctor answered honestly, "She probably can't go outside or film within the four months. You guys need to be mentally prepared."
Wen Mei shrieked emotionally, "How can that be?! She still has a bunch of contracts! She also needs to enter the set in a few days, so she must recover quickly! Doctor, please come up with a solution for us, ok?"
The doctor shook her head and said, "I really can't. I'm a doctor, not an immortal."
When the doctor left the ward, Wen Mei glanced at Lin Yueqi who was still frantically scrolling through Qin Xue's Weibo, resentfully saying, "WTF. You're really pissing me off. Why don't you go die?"
The manager called for her assistant and angrily left.
When the assistant, Xiao Ke, heard that Lin Yueqi was going to be disfigured, her heart trembled. Once she saw Lin Yueqi wrapped up like glutinous rice, she cried out of fear.
While playing on her phone, Lin Yueqi gazed up at her and said, "What are you crying for? I haven't died yet."
Xiao Ke raised her hand and wiped her tears, sobbing, "Sister Qi, you might as well be dead."
From the assistant, Lin Yueqi had a general understanding of what happened in the recent years.
She became a big hit and debuted when she was 23 and for the next three years, she maintained the popularity. But this year, Qin Xue with the title "the most beautiful woman of China" appeared out of the blue.
It was very normal for newcomers to appear in the entertainment circle, but what was unusual was that Qin Xue frequently showed up by Lin Yueqi's side.
Within half a year of Qin Xue's debut, she stole the two heroine roles from Lin Yueqi.
In the beginning, Lin Yueqi's fans bad mouthed and ruined Qin Xue's reputation constantly. But in less than two months, Lin Yueqi's fans gradually became Qin Xue's fans.
Half a month ago, Qin Xue went to take part in a reality show in the countryside and she casually interacted with a delicate and cute countryside girl, resulting in the four year old young girl becoming a big hit overnight.
Quickly, the media scooped information on the delicate and cute little girl and found out she was actually Lin Yueqi's illegitimate daughter!
Undoubtedly, this was like a bomb in the entertainment industry and people on the Internet were all swayed by this information. Lin Yueqi's pure and innocent persona completely collapsed and for the first time since she debuted, she tasted the feeling of being blamed and disdained upon by people.
Lin Yueqi's career was in disarray, but during this crucial point, not only did she lose her memory, but she also disfigured her face. It clearly placed her in a worse situation.
Her manager, Wen Mei, already decided to give her resources over to other actresses and Lin Yueqi's acting career officially went downhill, unable to be remedied.
...
From other people's perspectives, Lin Yueqi did lose her memory. But she believed that she was in the body of a 25 years old with the memory of a 17 years old.
Lin Yueqi would've never thought that she would actually become an actress when she was 25. She had millions of Weibo fans and although anti-fans were commenting below her Weibo, she was still content.
Only
Before the accident that caused her memory to return to when she was 17 years old, Lin Yueqi was someone who was sensitive and full of negative energy. Surprisingly in this present time, she had taken her current 'dilemma' quite well. Right now, she believed that as long as she was popular, that was good enough.
Even if she wasn't praised, she was still popular.
Once the assistant told her that because of her "disfigured face" and the "illegitimate daughter scandal," she had to compensate a large sum of money, her smile froze on her face.
She glanced at the crying assistant and asked, "Little sister, can I ask you how much money I need to compensate?"
"20 million."
"..." Lin Yueqi felt blood rushing to her head and she almost fainted.
Under the assistant's help, Lin Yueqi went to check the balance in her bank account and realized that she actually had 25 million in cash! After paying for the compensation, she still had 5 million left!
Damn. I'm so rich! Lin Yueqi clutched her chest and it took a while before she processed the fact that she had become rich overnight.
