“Why are you suddenly asking this?” Su Shengjing was confused.
“Don’t you want to know what happened?” Han Jiani’s expression was serious. “If you want to be successful in the entertainment industry, you have to clear your past once and for all. This way, you can avoid people talking about it in the future.
“Do you suspect anyone? Do you remember anyone you had offended at the time?” she continued.
Su Shengjing pondered the matter and laughed self-deprecatingly. “I was indeed young and ignorant back then. I didn’t know how to treat people well and or how to say nice things. Perhaps, I did offend some people. But I’m sure of one thing. I didn’t do anything drastic.”
“So, this isn’t what it looks like?” Han Jiani said as she placed a few photos on the table.
Su Jiu followed Su Shengjing and went over to take a look. She realized that the photos were of her father forcing Qin Feng to “kneel” on the set. There were also many intimate photos of women hugging Su Shengjing and smiling at him.
When Su Shengjing saw this, his expression darkened. “Of course not.
“He’s just acting.”
As soon as Su Shengjing mentioned Qin Feng, he recalled how Qin Feng had told Su Jiu about her stepmother. Qin Feng had even made use of this incident to defame the little girl, instigating several netizens who were unaware of the truth to attack her. Su Shengjing had been brooding over this matter ever since.
In the past, he could let bygones be bygones. But now, he and Qin Feng were enemies that would never be reconciled.
“Acting?” Han Jiani furrowed her brows. “Just like when you were filming the commercial? I remember he said that you and Little Jiu worked together to frame him.”
Su Shengjing lowered his head, and his gaze fell on the photo again. He tried his best to recall and said, “I had a scene with him at that time. He couldn’t act well and had given a few bad takes. I was a little frustrated, so I gave him time to figure the scene out before the next take. Then, I sat at the side to rest. I was planning to drink some water when he suddenly walked up to me and dropped to his knees with a thud. He begged me not to kick him out of the production team, saying that he would definitely act well, and asked me to give him another chance.”
Su Shengjing sneered, “When had I said I would kick him out? He had suddenly knelt in front of me and begged. That had stunned me.”
Han Jiani nodded. “What a coincidence! Someone secretly recorded that scene. The media reported about it soon after, and it severely affected your reputation.”
Su Jiu agreed with her. “That’s right! Pretty Auntie, let me tell you. That person is very bad. I hate him!”
Han Jiani seemed to be deep in thought. “That means something’s wrong with Qin Feng.”
It was very simple for children to like and dislike each other. Moreover, to be hated by a child like Little Jiu, the person must be really annoying.
Su Shengjing asked, “Do you believe what I said?”
“You are an artist under me. Naturally, I have to trust you. Do you think I should trust Qin Feng?”
Han Jiani said matter-of-factly, “Qin Feng’s image may have always been very positive, and there may have not been any negative news about him all these years. His only scandal was about the recording from last time, due to which his company put him on hiatus. However, I know that many artists have been set up by someone.
“On the surface, Qin Feng looks good, but in reality, no one knows whether he’s a human or a ghost. Other than the artist himself and those who are familiar with him, perhaps no one knows.”
Hence, she chose to believe in Su Shengjing.
