Caught in Affairs with Superstar-Chapter 1081 - 621: What Did You Say

Zhou Yun’s first reaction upon hearing about this from Wen Bing was: "You better not get involved in this, I’ve never liked her, you know that. She’s asking me to make a movie? What for? Chen Wenjun asked me to collaborate and I refused, what is she up to?"

Wen Bing chuckled at Zhou Yun’s words.

"Who knows? Maybe she got a project, and that’s why she’s all eager to reach out to you, hoping you’ll star in it," Wen Bing said. "If you star, it’ll be of great benefit to her. She managed to pull off something even Chen Wenjun couldn’t, that would be quite an accomplishment she can boast about."

Zhou Yun caught the hint of sarcasm in Wen Bing’s words.

But Zhou Yun had seen his attitude towards another ex-girlfriend, so she knew Wen Bing was not the kind to mock and critique an ex once they broke up. It seemed Windsor had really rubbed Wen Bing the wrong way over the past year.

It was obvious, even at the last dinner party, Windsor was throwing a tantrum regardless of the occasion or place.

Zhou Yun thought, if she were Windsor’s boyfriend, they would’ve broken up a long time ago.

Wen Bing was just a laid-back guy, clearly unsatisfied for a long time but dragged it out without breaking up. If Windsor hadn’t decided to cleanly break things off to move on with Chen Wenjun, who knows how long they would have continued to drag on.

Thinking about this, Zhou Yun smiled and said, "But you just broke up with her, don’t be too harsh with your words, otherwise she might spread rumors about you being heartless and ruin your reputation for no good reason."

Wen Bing said, "Let her say whatever she wants outside. With her personality, there’s no stopping it."

"I told you early on, there’s something off about her, advised you not to be with her."

"She didn’t reveal herself like this in the beginning." Wen Bing sighed. "Let’s not talk about this anymore. I heard someone gossiping about something concerning you this morning."

"What thing?" Zhou Yun asked curiously.

"Is it true that ’Falling Leaves,’ which you filmed with Xue Qin, got rejected by the Berlin International Film Festival?" Wen Bing asked.

"Yes." Zhou Yun didn’t deny it to Wen Bing and directly confirmed it, "Before, everyone said there was a strong chance for it to enter the main competition, but it ultimately didn’t. They wanted it for a special screening, and Sister Luo Qi and Director Xue weren’t happy."

"I see. I heard people talking about ’Falling Leaves’ being rejected by the Berlin International Film Festival, saying the film’s quality was mediocre and hence got bounced back. You might want to pay attention to these rumors, lest they use it as a pretext."

"It won’t happen," Zhou Yun said. "I’m just an actress, even if they use it as a pretext, all they could say is I performed poorly. But the film hasn’t been released, so how can they make false claims?"

"With such matters, they can easily find an excuse to talk."

Wen Bing’s words turned out to be prophetic.

It wasn’t long before rumors spread online about Zhou Yun’s poor acting, causing ’Falling Leaves’ to be rejected by the Berlin International Film Festival.

At first, Zhou Yun heard these rumors and laughed, thinking it absurd and illogical. Who would believe such a concoction?

To her surprise, the rumors grew more intense and were indeed believed by quite a few people.

To make matters worse, many people even commented on her Weibo, accusing her of ruining Director Xue Qin’s directorial debut.

Zhou Yun was utterly speechless.

As the rumors grew, Zhou Lan wouldn’t let them spiral unchecked.

Upon investigation, it turned out there was someone behind the scenes stirring up trouble.

Zhou Yun, who had been under the spotlight, finally got caught in a scandal, and several entities took part in fanning the flames.

Zhou Lan discovered that Su Yan, Xu Siyao, and Yu Yhan were behind it.

The first two were expected, but Zhou Lan hadn’t anticipated Yu Yhan.

Yu Yhan was an actor with whom Zhou Yun had worked on ’Eighth Heartbeat’; since that film, the two hadn’t publicly interacted, maintaining a live-and-let-live attitude.

Furthermore, Yu Yhan had no conflict with Zhou Yun at all, so why would Yu Yhan do such a thing?

Zhou Lan investigated with a doubtful mindset, and the findings left Zhou Lan speechless.

Yu Yhan’s dislike for Zhou Yun surprisingly traced back to Wei Heyun.

Yu Yhan previously had a boyfriend named Zhong Zitong, a privileged young man who often mingled with Wei Heyun. Zhou Yun once had dinner with Wei Heyun and ran into the two of them.
