Chapter 29: Furious, Furious, Furious, Furious

The reporter whom Shen Xinluo bribed actually wanted to speak on her behalf???

Since her rebirth, this was the first time Bai Lu felt things had slipped beyond her control.

All of Northwestern Jin was in utter chaos!

Director Zhang smiled faintly, “To admit one’s mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue. Here, take the microphone.”

The reporter who had turned sides said, “The audio and video recordings were given to me by Wu Liping. She also promised me fifty thousand yuan as a reward, but I didn’t take it. I am a fan of Bai Lu, and I want to help her see things clearly. She’s still young; she shouldn’t ruin her own future.”

Bai Lu: “…………”

Once this is over, she’ll have to start educating her fans’ minds.

“Mom… How could Mom do such a thing!” Shen Xinluo’s intelligence finally surfaced, her fist pounding the table. “For my sake, Mom actually did such terrible things to Xiao Lu…”

Shen Xinluo cried like a pear blossom in the rain, genuinely pitiable.

Just like in her previous life, Shen Xinluo shifted all the blame onto her mother, Wu Liping.

“Wu Liping posted on Weibo!”

Bai Lu looked straight ahead, her gaze steady.

“I am Wu Liping. I favored my own daughter and wanted to seize everything Bai Lu had, leaving it for my biological child. I’m sorry; I am unworthy of being a mother. My husband and I have already signed a divorce agreement…” The reporter’s voice gradually lowered. “The divorce agreement was signed half a month ago.”

Shen Xinluo buried her face in her arms and wept, “So this is why Dad wanted to divorce Mom… Mom did it all for me. I know Mom made many mistakes, but she’s still my mother… I… I… I’m willing to bear it all for her.”

“I will withdraw from the entertainment industry!” Shen Xinluo retreated to advance, but left herself a way out: “If Xiao Lu cannot forgive Mom, then I am willing to leave the entertainment industry and apologize for her!”

Everyone looked at Bai Lu.

The barrage was furious.

[Don’t use morality as a weapon!]

[What’s this about leaving the industry only if Xiao Lu can’t forgive you—so it’s Xiao Lu forcing you out?]

[She’s just playing the victim! White Lotus!]

[I’m so angry, so angry, so angry…]

Bai Lu gazed deeply at Shen Xinluo. After a long moment, she smiled softly, “A child who has a mother is so blessed.”

She couldn’t hold back her tears and quickly lowered her head.

Shen Xinluo envied her fame, her resources, her fans, her beauty… Shen Xinluo envied so many things she had.

While she, Bai Lu, envied just one thing.

Shen Xinluo had a mother.

She had no mother.

Suddenly, Bai Lu lost the mood to play along. “I’m tired, I want to…”

“Wait—” The assistant director in charge of projecting phone screens had been staring at Weibo and suddenly exclaimed, “Zhuo Wei has revealed something! On Weibo! There’s a video!”

Everyone pulled out their phones.

Bai Lu was taken aback.

He truly deserved his reputation as the number one paparazzo—always choosing the perfect moment.

Bombshells dropped one after another, and the little sports video in her hand seemed utterly insignificant.

“Xiao Lu did not lie.”

After saying this, Bai Lu collapsed stiffly.

The last image in the video was frozen on Bai Lu’s pale, stubborn, aggrieved, enduring face, streaked with tears, yet filled with despair and heartbreak.

It was deeply moving.

Fans in the live stream couldn’t even cry anymore.

[This isn’t just tormenting Xiao Lu—it’s breaking the hearts of all of us fans…]

[That White Lotus was still acting just now!]

[She’s dumping all the blame on her own mother!]

[I used to think the Shen family just treated Xiao Lu as a cash cow, but now I see—they not only covet her wealth, they want her life!]

[Why does the Shen family treat Bai Lu this way, when we love her so much?]

Director Zhang, enraged, threw his phone down. He wanted to hug her, but restrained himself, only patting her on the head, “It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright. It’s all over now, Bai Xiao Lu, you mustn’t cry.”

Bai Lu looked at him, “Director Zhang, you’re crying. Xiao Lu isn’t.”

The makeup artist sister rushed over in tears, pulling Bai Lu into her arms, “Bai Xiao Lu, why didn’t you tell everyone about this? Why didn’t you speak?”

She patted Sister Hua’s back, “It’s fine. Really, it’s fine.”

Because not one of the Shen family trio would escape.

She would drag them out one by one and destroy them herself.

And Yu Fuqing—he wouldn’t get away either.

So, don’t feel bad for her, don’t cry for her, it would make her heart ache, truly ache.

Sister Hua raised her hand to strike her, but when her palm landed, it was as gentle as could be.

“What do you mean it’s fine! It matters! Of course it matters! You silly girl, always pretending to be carefree, how can you endure so much! Hmm? When Director Zhang asked you to lose weight, you kept threatening to expose him for mistreating you—so why didn’t you expose…”

“They’re my sister, my mother, my father.” Bai Lu furrowed her brow, lowered her head, and when she looked up again, her face was once more radiant with a brilliant smile, “It’s really alright, Xiao Lu is really alright.”

The brighter she smiled, the more shattered everyone’s hearts became.

[This foolish deer is still smiling!]

[She’s still defending the Shen family!]

[She’s so starved for love…]

[When she smiles, I cry. When she cries, I cry even harder.]

[Thank you to the crew sister for hugging Xiao Lu for us just now.]

[Give her a strong hug, she’s a child who desperately needs love.]

[Crew sister, rub her head like a mother would.]

[Damn! If I ever meet Bai Lu, I’ll pet her bald!!]

Shen Xinluo saw the video exposed by Zhuo Wei and was utterly dumbfounded—her mind blank, wanting to explain, yet knowing she’d never have another chance.

Bai Lu’s accusation had destroyed her!

“Sister.”

Shen Xinluo’s eyes moved, staring numbly as Bai Lu took her hand and said, “I’m sorry, I slandered you. You didn’t grab my neck and say those things—it was Xiao Lu’s fault, Xiao Lu wronged you. Xiao Lu will clear your name!”

Everyone was stunned!!!

“Bai Lu, you treat her as a sister, but she sees you as nothing but a thorn in her side!” The reporter-fan voiced the thoughts of everyone present and all the viewers: “No matter how much you compromise, it won’t matter, she never considered you her sister.”

Facing the camera, Bai Lu bowed deeply, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I lied, my sister never said those things, and she didn’t grab my neck. Everything, everything was a fabrication—ah!”

No one, not even Bai Lu herself, had time to react.

By the time they realized, Bai Lu had already been snatched away by a stranger who appeared out of nowhere!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

“What’s going on???”
