Director Zheng, Producer Luo, and Scriptwriter Chun didn't know that currently, the person they stepped on the ground to favor one and sucking up to the power of another was currently planning their doom.
At this moment, they were still bathing in glory and happiness at the mere thought of the endless benefits they would get while filming the drama. They completely forgot that there was another big investor who was closely related to the female lead.
A day after the script was changed, Ran Xueyi maintained her silence. She had not called the crew or Producer Luo about this matter anymore and it seemed like she had given up trying to do anything to defend herself. It also appeared as if she acquiesced to the plans of Director Zheng. This worked very well to the goal they wanted to achieve to please both Gu Jiao and the big investor supporting her.
However, unexpectedly, on the night of that same day, several small gossip and marketing accounts on many social platforms suddenly posted a series of photos of two people. At a glance, those who viewed these photos could see a bed and two individuals lying on top of it and their position was quite intimate.
The only thing that made people not clearly see the faces of these two people was due to the noise filter covering their faces.
But the caption and words these entertainment accounts posted along with these photos were quite interesting and caught the eyes of the netizens in just a short time.

Upon seeing these words, the netizens and passersby who read it and saw the photos commented below the post.
"Hahaha! I know right! I read too many dog blooded s and I see them often. Post Owner, are you sure you're not changing careers from sharing gossip to writing s?"
"I'm crying to death. I should have not opened the photos while eating noodles. Now, my nose is filled with noodles and it was a spicy one at that! I regret it, I deeply regret it."
"Upstairs, you're not alone. I'm also eating here. I just choked and almost puked all the food I just ate in front of my colleagues."
"Sh*t, Poster Owner, come out and don't be scared. Tell us the names of these people so we can burn them alive for ruining our appetites."
More and more comments were pushed forward and liked by many people. Some of them were cursing at the post owner because they were disgusted to death because of the photos, especially since one of the people in it was an old man and his upper wrinkled body was very clear.
On the other hand, the countless netizens who wanted to know the identity of the homewrecker and director were overwhelming the comment box.
However, as if these entertainment accounts went offline as soon as they posted these photos, they never answered or liked any commenters' replies nor answered their questions. And because of this, the topic about a homewrecker and a director being intimate with a photo evidence shot up in the hot searches on several platforms and took top 10 in the rankings of trending searches.
Unfortunately, someone paid for the removal of the hot search and ranking. The numerous posts and reposts that emerged on the platform were also deleted one by one.
By this time, the netizens and passersby who were eating melons and waiting for a bigger show were in dismay. However, they knew that this matter might have involved someone with power and money, thus, they all had to suffer in silence.
At this hour, Gu Jiao was pacing around her room and was cursing loudly.
"How were these photos taken? Who took it and posted it!"
Gu Jiao's manager, Albert, was also clueless as his artist. He angrily stared at her and blamed her for what happened. "You're actually asking this? Shouldn't I ask you this question instead?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGu Jiao wasn't scared of her manager and felt irritated at his question.
Albert continued to say, "If you had listened to me on that night and didn't approach Director Zheng, do you think this would happen? I thought you only wanted to use that man's influence and scare that director but what did you do? You actually slept with him!. Gu Jiao, should I clap you for being so brave or should I call you stupid for sleeping with someone who's already married?"
Gu Jiao stopped pacing around when she heard the words that came out of his mouth. She didn't like any of them and was almost instant enraged at that point. She wanted to come forward and slap his mouth from saying anything more, but at this moment, the only person she could rely on so this matter wouldn't blow up too much was Albert, her manager.
"I was drunk. I didn't know who I was doing it with unti I woke up in the same bed as Director Zheng. How was I supposed to react? Do you think I also want to sleep with that old man?"
Albert's eyes glinted dangerously as he thrusted a finger to place it in front of his lips as if signalling her to keep quiet.
Seeing his gesture, Gu Jiao felt guilty and scared because of the words she said because if the man who has been supporting her heard of this, he would certainly make her suffer since he also belonged to the category 'already married' and 'old'.
That man was a powerful figure and has hundreds of millions in assets. He could easily squash her if he wanted to.
"Let's not talk about this, we need to think of something first. Thankfully, I already told the company to spend some money to delete all the posts related to this. For now, just lay low and act as if nothing happened," Albert told her and placed his phone down. "As for that man... you should probably call him and distract him from seeing anything related to those photos."
Gu Jiao nodded, no longer trying to fight him and agreed with his arrangements. For as long as that 'man' didn't see the post and didn't find out that she slept with another man other than him, she and her career is still safe and secured.
Thinking like this, Gu Jiao grabbed her phone and directly called that man to distract him, not knowing that this was exactly what Ran Xueyi wanted her to do.
