Chapter 367 (1/2)

Let’s Break Up

Under normal circumstances, whenever there is a case of “ghostwriting,” the ghostwriter would get the most attention. In this case, the person concerned was Lin Shiya. However, Su Li’s name struck the headlines!

As everyone was wondering how this “ghostwriting” case came to be, the first line they could draw was Su Li had drawn an illustration of Wen Qingyu, a highly popular character in “Bakuman.” It was true that the character did not encounter any misfortune, but Master Ya Jing had not been so fortunate herself, she had not managed to repel the attack Su Li’s reality-altering weapon!

Everyone wanted Su Li to express her concern. Hopefully, she would promise that she would exercise more restraint for a time being!

Besides Su Li, who else had reality-warping abilities?

When Su Li knew about this, she called Zhao Youyue, as confused as ever, “Milady, concerning this Ya Jing, did she really find someone else to write on her behalf? If so, she could have gotten exposed anytime, but why now?”

Zhao Youyue was equally confused, as this was her first time encountering such an unexpected turn of events. When her senses finally returned, she reminded herself that she had once promised to clear the misunderstandings surrounding Su Li. Yet, Su Li had once again taken the blame for exposing Lin Shiya’s ghostwriting…

Zhao Youyue had never once believed that Su Li had the power to throw misfortune at another individual. They had all been executed at her personal requests. Maybe that mysterious power came from Zhao Youyue all this while, and Su Li was just taking the blame for her?

Clearly, Zhao Youyue did not believe in superstitions, but when Master Ya Jing was exposed to a career-ending scandal, she started to have doubts over herself, was she in fact, cursed?

Nevertheless, none of this was her business; Su Li was her meat shield. Lin Shiya was only receiving her just deserts if she had been innocent all along, she would have gotten away unscathed.

Lin Shiya’s response did not help the situation one bit. She deleted all the articles in her blog and deactivated her Douban account as the netizens clambered up to Su Li. She replied on Weibo

1. These were completely made up accusations.

2. My lawyer will handle this.

As expected, with the concrete evidence provided by the BigV, her replies fell short, as if she was glossing things over to stay on good terms.

Of course, carefree fans thought that being calm was the best response. People would definitely suspect her if she panicked and flailed about in the face of her accuser. She might even be buying time to use her well-known status and make a deal with her accuser. Under the table, of course.

Her ghostwriter had to be someone close to her. To protect her reputation, that person would surely lay as low as possible until the smoke clears.

Plus, ghostwriting was quite common in the literary field and some authors even shared the same pen name…

The ghostwriter and the ‘face’ of the author clearly had the same goals from the beginning. It would not be easy for them to get exposed.

The carefree fans of Master Ya Jing did not bother to uncover the truth, because Lin Shiya was much better looking than that particular BigV. In other words, justice would always side with good-looking folk; and that was the absolute truth!
