Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 707: Just Because I Got Angry With You?

At the time, someone in Zhang Xinjie Square was distributing fan club badges, and by sheer coincidence, it was the woman who threw acid on her that day, the pattern on her keychain.

So when Su Wanxin recalled this incident that day, it was essentially confirmed without a doubt.

Zhang Xinjie had previously tried to ride on Fu Shihan’s fame and create a CP (celebrity pairing) to hype up a scandal, but it backfired on her.

Later on, so many of her dark secrets got leaked online, turning her from a very popular influencer to someone embroiled in lawsuits in just one or two months.

The entertainment industry is a very cruel place, and brand owners are not easy to mess with.

After signing endorsement contracts and such with Zhang Xinjie and then having this happen, who else are they going to ask for compensation if not her?

So, Zhang Xinjie must be fuming right now. And how exactly her sugar-baby scandals got leaked, there’s still no definitive answer.

Su Wanxin thought that she probably suspects herself, thinking that she orchestrated it.

Even the most obscure celebrities have fans, especially those without critical thinking.

Su Wanxin had heard about many such incidents in the entertainment circle, where a celebrity will bring up their plight in the fan groups when they are mistreated and can’t confront the issue in person.

They have their own anonymous accounts in fan groups and will exaggerate the story, which always leads to fans fighting for their idol’s cause.

This time, the situation likely unfolded in the same way.

Zhang Xinjie privately complained to her fans, claiming Su Wanxin was behind it, and so the irrational fans came forward for their idol.

Why choose acid and not lash out with a direct stab? Su Wanxin pondered this question as well.

She guessed that the perpetrator wanted her to experience a fate worse than death; just like Zhang Xinjie now, fallen from grace, ridiculed and despised by everyone.

A ravaged face, how would one face others in the future?

Zhang Xinjie’s reputation might be ruined, but at least her face is intact; there will always be some losers willing to take her on.

But if Su Wanxin’s appearance was ruined, who would want to marry her? And if someone did, they would surely covet her wealth.

Su Wanxin had thought through all of this, feeling not only anger and fear but also a bit of sorrow for those irrational fans.

What exactly do they adore?

Spending precious time on such trash, would they feel regretful enough to wish they could bash their heads in when they grow older and realize their folly?

Su Wanxin shared her suspicions and analysis with Fu Shihan, who felt a mix of emotions seeing her articulate thoughts so calmly.

What she said was pretty much consistent with what he found out.

"Why didn’t you call me as soon as you guessed it? Is it because I lost my temper with you that night?" Fu Shihan asked, looking at her with mixed feelings.

"No," Su Wanxin shook her head and refused, "I came to understand the whole situation roughly around the same time you cleared things up."

As for his fit of anger...

It definitely had an impact; she was hesitant to reach out to him, scared of being scolded. She knew his temper wasn’t great and didn’t expect him to always be patient with her.

"I knew you would stand up for me once you had the evidence, so I wasn’t in a hurry."

Her words left Fu Shihan with complex feelings, as if she had slapped him then offered him a sweet date, leaving him choked up, unable to spit it out or swallow it.
