I hung up the phone and got up from the hospital room.
As I reached the entrance of the hospital, Wen Xuan's convoy was already parked outside, surrounded by countless reporters.
Wen Xuan rushed out of the car, his face pale and his eyes filled with panic. He looked around, seemingly searching for my figure.
I stood quietly among the crowd, watching him.
Finally, Wen Xuan spotted me. He pushed through the throng and ran toward me.
"Where's Gao Yu? What have you done to her?" he grabbed my shoulders and shook me forcefully.
I pulled a necklace from my pocket, Gao Yu's most cherished possession, a gift from Wen Xuan.
I tossed the necklace at Wen Xuan's feet and said coldly, "This is Gao Yu's keepsake; take good care of it."
I turned to leave, leaving Wen Xuan standing there, his face a picture of shock and despair.
The reporters surged forward, surrounding Wen Xuan completely. The flashing lights continued to blink, making him appear especially lonely and helpless in the spotlight.
I walked to a secluded corner, Gao Yu's last words echoing in my mind: "Lin Xia, if I die, make sure my death is published. People are forever haunted by those they couldn't have in their youth; when he was with me, he was thinking of Yun Xiaoxiao. Now that I'm gone, with his character, he should be thinking of me."
Gao Yu was not a magnanimous person; once she had come to terms with everything, she would surely seek revenge and want me to help her.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
Taking out my phone, I dialed a number.
"Hello, is this Entertainment Weekly? I have an explosive story about the popular star Wen Xuan..."
The moment the call connected, I knew that Wen Xuan's good days were over.
I hung up without looking back at him even once.
Those flashing lights and noisy voices no longer concerned me.
What I wanted had already begun.
The next day, the trending news exploded:
**Wen Xuan's Affair with Ordinary Girlfriend Leads to Her Death**
Several topics detonated one after another like a series of bombs. The report from Entertainment Weekly hit like a heavy bombshell, detailing not only the underground relationship between Gao Yu and Wen Xuan but also exposing Wen Xuan's indifference and ruthlessness during Gao Yu's battle with cancer.
The most eye-catching part was the headline: "Rising Superstar Wen Xuan Abandons Cancer-Stricken Girlfriend for Fame, Leading to Her Despair and Suicide?" Accompanying the article was a photo of Gao Yu in the hospital, her haggard face starkly contrasting with Wen Xuan's bright smile.
In an instant, public opinion erupted. Soon after, more explosive revelations came to light. Someone claiming to be a friend of Gao Yu disclosed that she had sacrificed so much for Wen Xuan's career, providing financial support and leveraging her connections to pave the way for him. There were even insiders who revealed that the initial funding for Wen Xuan's early studio came from Gao Yu.
However, once Wen Xuan rose to fame, he quickly distanced himself from Gao Yu and began flaunting his relationship with Yun Xiaoxiao. Even more shocking was a sighting of Wen Xuan outside a funeral home, dressed in mourning attire, crying heart-wrenchingly as he faced Gao Yu's hearse. In the photo, the once-glamorous star appeared like a soulless puppet, utterly disheveled.
Yet, netizens were not swayed; the comments section overflowed with insults and mockery. "Deserved it! Scumbag!" "Crocodile tears, how disgusting!" "Ugh, how can someone like this be a star? Cancel him!"
No matter how strong Wen Xuan's team's public relations skills were, they couldn't withstand the overwhelming tide of negative news. Endorsements were pulled, scripts were changed, and reality show appearances were canceled. In one night, Wen Xuan plummeted from the heights of fame to become a pariah everyone wanted to shun.
I stared at the shocking headlines on my phone screen, feeling not a single ripple of emotion within me. This was not enough; far from it. Just then, my phone buzzed again—it was Wen Xuan once more.
I answered the phone, my tone icy. "Mr. Ye, is there anything left for us to discuss?"
"Gao Yu, no, Miss Lin, please, let me go! I know I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong!" On the other end, Wen Xuan's voice trembled with tears, completely devoid of the confidence of a star.
"Let you go? Did you let Gao Yu go?" I retorted, my voice laced with sarcasm.
"I... I didn't know she was so ill. If I had known, I would never have..."
"Never what? Never abandoned her, or never gotten together with Yun Xiaoxiao?" I interrupted him, ruthlessly exposing his hypocrisy.
"Miss Lin, I know you hate me. I deserve it, I deserve to die a thousand deaths. But what's done is done. Please give me a chance to make amends, to atone!" Wen Xuan continued to plead desperately.
"Make amends? Atone? What do you have to offer? Your career or your reputation? Those are worthless in Gao Yu's eyes!"
I scoffed. "Wen Xuan, what you owe Gao Yu can never be repaid in this lifetime!"
With that, I hung up the phone and blocked Wen Xuan from my contacts.
In the following days, Wen Xuan went wild, incessantly calling and texting me, even showing up at the entrance of my apartment complex to confront me.
But I ignored him completely.
I cut off all means of contact and thoroughly isolated him from my world.
