“Don’t you think that she looks like me?”
The man shook his head and declared confidently, “How can I possibly fail to recognize my wife? She looks nothing like you.”
“How’s that possible?” She clearly did not believe his words. “Qin Zhou, Youyou, and Little Yichen thought that I was the one in the photos.”
“I’m the one who sleeps with you every night. How can I possibly not recognize my wife?”
He explained, “Besides, even though you have similar looks, the way you carry yourself is clearly different.”
“The way I carry myself?”
“Yes. She doesn’t have your poise, so no matter how much she resembles you, she doesn’t stand out from the crowd.”
As the saying went, ‘poise over appearance’. The way one carried themselves was more important than having a good-looking face.
Yun Shishi had excellent poise and appeared just as beautiful and graceful as her poetic name suggested.
Her mood instantly lifted when she heard that. She turned around and pinched her husband’s cheeks smilingly. “You have such a glib tongue, huh?”
Putting aside the issue of whether these were just honeyed words or his heartfelt declaration, they were enough to send her giddy with happiness.
Her good mood was short-lived, however…
The next day, Li Xiang’er’s management company pushed the entire affair to climax. In Qin Zhou’s words, it was basically crazed sensationalism.
“Well-played! How well-played, indeed!” The manager slammed a stack of documents onto the desk, fuming. “Li Xiang’er is a totally shameless person!”
“What’s wrong?” She was having her makeup done when she noticed her manager in a foul mood. His eyes, which were blazing with anger, got her asking curiously, “What has she done this time?”
“Her management company engaged a PR team last night, and that PR team sure has lots of tricks up their sleeves. They actually posted her before-surgery photos online.”
“Isn’t that your goal?” she asked curiously. “Weren’t you looking for those photos?”
“Yes, I did find the photos, but before Huanyu could do anything about them, EASE published that article first. The timing makes a whole difference. If I managed to publish that article first, the public’s opinion would be in your favor. The infuriating thing is that their PR team deliberately chose a few nicer-looking before-surgery photos of Li Xiang’er to publish. They’ve just released that article, and she’s already denying having undergone plastic surgery the very next second, claiming that she only went to the hospital to do some verification to sue those media outlets for ‘defamation’! What an impressive scheme, indeed! This plastic surgery topic is enough to create a buzz about her for a while!”
“Isn’t she afraid of tarnishing her reputation by resorting to such tricks?”
“So what if she has a bad reputation? Who cares about that? As long as that person is famous, regardless of whether their reputation is good or bad, people will pay attention to them; the weirder and more shameless they are, the better as it will lead to increased exposure, too! Li Xiang’er only started this yesterday, but many TV networks have already been sending invitations for her to guest in their shows since early this morning! This is the effect of sensationalism.”
Many starlets would go all out to gain exposure and fame for themselves. They would not hesitate to make themselves ugly to entertain the crowd or post some disgusting comments to get attention from people. There were also others who went about it the more direct way: stripping to fame. It was because of such immoral people that the entertainment industry was such a foul place.
After all, people tended to resort to unscrupulous means to gain fame and wealth.
Pride and dignity were nothing in the face of fame and wealth!
