Heading straight back to her seat, Shen Muhan spotted her, and with excitement, he got up and hurried over, calling out, “Boss.” The classmates in the class immediately noticed and gathered around.
“Boss, take a look at this great news.”
Shen Muhan handed her his phone, his face brimming with excitement. “Lu Siyu has been exposed for drugging and deceiving a certain corporation’s CEO, breaking up someone else’s family and forcing a divorce, wrecking their household.”
Others chimed in from the side, “The luxury brands she previously signed contracts with have all released statements canceling their agreements and are seeking compensation from her. The TV drama she’s currently working on also issued an emergency statement about recasting, and she alone will bear the cost of reshooting.”
“With so much compensation to pay, she probably can’t even cover it by selling herself.”
“She’s reaping what she sowed. She deserves it. Who told her to drug others and destroy families? Such a rotten person is just a waste of air.”
“Fortunately, the principal decisively expelled her back then. Otherwise, now, everyone from our Zhenhai High School would be embarrassed alongside her.”
Lu Miao looked at her phone screen, and Lu Siyu, the third party in an affair, had surged to the top of the trending topics.
The comments underneath were all condemning her. The fans of artists whose opportunities she’d taken were finally getting their chance to vent, and they were berating her more fiercely than the others.
The marketing accounts that had previously defended her actively dug up her past scandals to gain more attention.
Someone came forward and exposed her fake wealthy status and how she had forcibly taken Lu Miao’s identity.
Then, as the gossip spread, it was revealed that the CEO whose marriage she had interfered with was Zhang, the head of the Galaxy Group.
Subsequently, employees from the Galaxy Group stepped up to disclose that their company had announced the termination of all cooperation with the Lu family and had filed a lawsuit against them.
Weibo’s trending topics continued to explode one after another, and spectators online jumped around in the melon patch, berating Lu Siyu.
Inside the office of Starlight Agency.
Her agent coldly tossed a contract termination document in front of her. “It’s not that I won’t help you. Your reputation is already ruined. Drugging, being a third party, breaking up others’ families—these morally corrupt actions. You were lucky they weren’t exposed earlier. Once they’re out, getting blacklisted from above is only a matter of time. Even a deity can’t save you.”
“Brother Qin, I was wrong. I truly didn’t intend to drug him back then. He took that glass of water himself, tried to force himself on me, and then caused a scene at the school. Because of him, I got expelled. I had no choice but to agree with him.”
“Please, help me. I’ll do anything to repay you, even if it means working like a horse or an ox.” Lu Siyu pleaded, her voice choked with tears.
“So, you’re saying you wanted to drug someone else, but he ended up drinking it instead?” Her agent chuckled at her frustration. “Lu Siyu, you still don’t understand where you went wrong. Do you think it’s okay as long as you didn’t drug the person you intended to drug? No matter who you wanted to drug, it’s all a mistake! You’re talented but reckless, daring to do anything. I, a small fry, don’t dare to reach for the stars like you, a celestial being, and I can’t help you either. In consideration of our past collaboration, I’ve already talked to the boss. The company won’t hold you accountable or seek compensation. However, you’re on your own with those brands and the production company’s compensation. You have ten minutes to pack your things and leave the company.”
With that, he turned around and walked toward the exit.
“Brother Qin, Brother Qin,” Lu Siyu sobbed as she chased after him.
Even if the company wasn’t seeking compensation, the breach of contract fees from those luxury brands and the production company would still amount to a significant sum. Where would she get the money to pay for it?
Her agent, however, showed no mercy and left without looking back.
Outside the door, other small-time artists whom she had previously overshadowed were there to enjoy the spectacle. Seeing that the company and her agent had indeed abandoned her, they gathered around, relishing the moment.
“Hah, shameless people are invincible, capable of doing anything for resources.”
“I recall someone claiming to be a celestial star from heaven?”
“Heavenly star my foot, she’s more like a stone in a ditch—stinky and hard.”
Gritting her teeth, Lu Siyu realized that if it were before, these people wouldn’t dare to even utter a word in front of her.
She shot them a fierce glare. “Just wait, one day I’ll make you all kneel and apologize to me.”
With that, she turned and hurried out of the company.
As she ran,
she dialed Qin Shuang’s number on her phone. “Mom, send me 5 million. I want to replace that master of geomancy and buy the potion again.”
On the other end of the call, before Qin Shuang could speak, Lu Qin grabbed the phone angrily. “You useless mess, causing such a huge disaster and still have the nerve to ask for money? If I had known you’d be this useless, I would have just kept Lu Miao.”
After her scolding, she abruptly hung up, leaving Lu Siyu panicked. She had nothing left now and owed a substantial amount in breach of contract fees. If even the Lu family wouldn’t have her, then she truly had hit rock bottom. No, she had to salvage this situation, salvage her standing in the Lu family.
Swallowing her pride, she dialed every number she knew.
Those friends who had seemed close to her before had now distanced themselves. They either blocked her or found excuses to reject her.
Frustration surged within Lu Siyu. If only they had been this brave before her fall.
With no options left, seeing the advertisement felt like spotting a lifeline. Without hesitation, she dialed the number listed on it.
The voice on the other end promptly agreed to grant her a loan, but with a list of conditions and required her to visit their office in person.
Though the terms were outrageous, as long as she could succeed in using the potion again, she wasn’t afraid of not being able to repay the loan.
Determined, Lu Siyu clenched her teeth and hailed a taxi to the loan company.
The master of geomancy, known as Master Mountain River, never made public appearances, but everyone knew that Lin Bufan was his spokesperson.
Once she received the money, Lu Siyu dialed Lin Bufan’s number directly.
Soon, a call from Lin Bufan came through to Lu Qin. She smirked. “Good, tell her to come to the playground at Zhenhai High School tomorrow noon. I’ll personally make the exchange.”
Since she was offering the money herself, of course she would fulfill her request.
After receiving Lin Bufan’s response, although Lu Siyu was puzzled about why the exchange had to take place at Zhenhai High School, her mind was preoccupied with figuring out how to use the potion, so she didn’t dwell on it.
The next day, she flew back to Luo City. After landing, she followed the agreed-upon time and took a taxi to Zhenhai High School.
Fearing being recognized by her classmates, Lu Siyu wore a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, covering herself thoroughly. She then entered the school and made her way to the playground..
