Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After two days’ of picture-taking, the family returned home.

Upon reaching home, the protagonist immediately rushed to report to the production crew. The moment she stepped on set, her assistant could not wait to gush about what had happened during the time that she was away.

“Shishi, there’s bad news and good news; which do you want to hear?”

“Don’t keep me in suspense and tell me both!”

“Alright, then. I won’t speak in riddles!” The young woman lowered her voice after a pause. “Have you heard? A few days ago, Lu Jingtian committed suicide by jumping off a building.”

The actress was stunned for a moment, her eyes widening in astonishment as she stared at the other woman in disbelief.

“What?!”

“You heard correctly, and this isn’t fake news. Lu Jingtian’s memorial service was held just a day before yesterday, and many celebrities attended it.

“Why did she kill herself for no reason?”

“‘Why did she kill herself for no reason’?” Yun Shishi could not help feeling suspicious about this latest happening. “Something’s fishy. Didn’t her surgery go very well? Plus, before I left the country, I heard that she had safely passed the critical period, so why would she want to end her life?”

Her assistant shook her head blankly. “This news came very suddenly, and at that time, you were abroad. Naturally, we didn’t want to tell you about it for fear of disturbing your holiday mood. Also, it’s not much of a thing for us. Qin Zhou has already expressed tribute through your Weibo account.”

She still found this news unbelievable and said hushedly, “I still find this fishy. Lu Jingtian was strong in nature, and since the surgery went well, why did she do that to herself?”

“She’s too headstrong, I supposed?” Mu Xi took a breather before adding, “Did you know? I went to the hospital with our manager and head producer to deal with the aftermath of her attack and coincidentally, I saw her disfigurement…” At this juncture, the young lady took a deep breath and then shook her head regretfully. “It’s too tragic… That fire ruined her face for good! It’s not too much to say that her body was gone, too. She suffered different degrees of burns throughout her body. The most serious was her pair of legs, where the muscles got badly damaged. There’s a great deal of pain during the rehabilitation. Probably because it’s too painful to continue living like that, she chose to end her life!”

Yun Shishi’s chest tightened at the thought.

She could never understand what kind of pain that was. After all, she was not standing in the victim’s shoes.

Her foster father came to her mind suddenly.

He must’ve been in great pain, too, right?

She could not help feeling heartbroken.

After her twin brother brought her foster father back to the Gong family, he contacted her and told her that the old man had been sent to his family’s medical center; after which, what would come next would be a long recovery period. Due to the secrecy of the whole affair, he could not video-call her but assured her, nonetheless, that he would keep her posted on her father’s recovery.

Only then did she put her mind slightly at ease.

“At the memorial service, I saw Director Lu’s hair turning white overnight because of grief. Actually, I didn’t feel good about it, either. Although, in the past, I quite hated the young actress, now I only feel sorry for her. After all, the dead should still be honored; plus, one couldn’t help lamenting the loss of a young life…”

The actress sighed and replied, “I didn’t think she’d end her life so hastily.”
