The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 75 - 0: Zhao Siblings
Chapter 75 - 075: Zhao Siblings
Zhao Minmin's entry into the entertainment industry was a matter of chance.
Growing up in the countryside, she knew that studying was the only way out. Moreover, with her good looks, if she didn't work hard to gain some leverage, she would just be married off by her parents to some old man either unable to find a wife or whose wife had already died, in exchange for money.
Zhao Minmin was ambitious, how could she possibly agree to that?
She wanted to rise above, to live the life of the upper class.
Fortunately, Zhao Minmin's brother Zhao Chenggang, though appearing as a delinquent, had great faith in his sister, who was much smarter than him. Back then, he had spent time in prison for fighting, brawling, and accidentally killing someone.
After coming out, he couldn't find a decent job, so he followed his much younger sister's lead.
Initially, Zhao Minmin didn't want such a rascal-like brother by her side; it simply damaged her image, but by then her brother was already nearly thirty, and her parents intended to marry her off to someone for money so that her brother could find a wife.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Minmin naturally wasn't willing, so she quickly suggested her brother tag along with her, claiming they could achieve something together.
Thus, Zhao Chenggang became the manager and assistant to the then-little-known Zhao Minmin.
Indeed, Zhao Minmin was cunning; to become famous, she wasn't above using underhanded methods, suppressing opponents, clinging to patrons—all she wanted was fame.
Moreover, she cleverly chose her debut image—a pristine white lotus, the innocent maiden. Typically, Zhao Minmin dressed in a pure and fresh style, very low-key.
Her pure maiden image not only pleased the audiences but also the supporters behind her.
It wasn't mere coincidence that Zhao Minmin had conflicts with Mu Bai. Mu Bai debuted late and did so secretly, keeping her prestigious background hidden. Had more people known she was the eldest daughter of the Mu family from Beijing, many would vie to curry favor with her. Spoiled since childhood, she naturally had a bit of a temper.
A year ago, they had already clashed over a movie role, competing several times for roles, sometimes Zhao would win, other times Mu Bai.
Unlike Zhao Minmin, who had backers, Mu Bai was genuinely "going it alone." She had excellent personal conditions; many wanted to sponsor her but she rejected them all decisively.
Coincidentally, one of the men Mu Bai turned down became Zhao Minmin's patron later on.
Finding out, Zhao Minmin was furious. (At the time, Mu Bai had just snatched a not-so-important role from her.) Wasn't she picking up someone else's leftovers, unwanted ones?
Mu Bai clearly showed disdain towards her, as she did to anyone with a backer, making Zhao Minmin even more livid. The current patron was still obsessed with Mu Bai; perhaps the more unattainable, the more desirable, and continued wanting to sponsor Mu Bai.
Being in her patron's hands made Zhao Minmin loathe Mu Bai more; with her sponsor's help, she managed to snatch several roles from Mu Bai.
This time, for the palace drama, she directly snatched the female lead from Mu Bai. How could Mu Bai not be furious?
As a precious daughter, Mu Bai had a temper and tactics of her own. Unfortunately, compared to Zhao Minmin, Mu Bai's tactics didn't hold up.
Just as Mu Bai planned to involve someone from the props team to create a small accident to "teach" Zhao Minmin a lesson, she was arranged by Zhao Minmin to appear as a "deliberate murderer," with concrete evidence.
Poor Mu Bai nearly experienced her first major setback, almost unable to recover.
Luckily, she encountered Mu Qiuniang.
Mu Qiuniang wasn't very familiar with things like cell phones. After Mu Bai's incident, she had Jiang Nuo teach her how to record audio. Jiang Nuo, excitedly, recorded several audio files for her: morning alarms, love songs he sang to her during leisure, night-time lullabies, and "Honey, I love you."
Zhao Minmin said, "If this thing screws up again, don't even think about getting your allowance next month," ending her conversation with Zhao Chenggang, who then left.
Mu Qiuniang turned off the tape recorder and stealthily followed. She didn't forget to place a Tracking Spell on Zhao Chenggang again, to prevent any unexpected moves.
As for the "scandal photos" they talked about, Mu Qiuniang didn't understand high-tech things like Photoshop but she knew spells, and with a few spells, she directly changed the female lead in the photos to Zhao Minmin.
Ha ha! You want to bully my grandniece? Let's see if I allow it!
Under the cover of night, Mu Qiuniang returned home unnoticed.
Jiang Nuo, lying in bed, was still asleep, completely unaware that his wife had left in the middle of the night. As she lay down, he instinctively reached out, wrapped his arm around her waist, and snuggled closer, saying, "Honey..."
He muttered something in his sleep that Mu Qiuniang didn't understand.
Just seeing her made all those worrying things fade away like smoke, distancing from her.
Although she still couldn't bring herself to say, "Honey, I love you," her gaze, tender as water, seemed enough to melt him.

The next day, at dawn.
The entire internet exploded: "What?! Zhao Minmin, the goddess of purity, caught in a scandal?!"
"Over years of cultivation, is Zhao Minmin truly pure or full of desires?!"
"A rundown of the sponsors behind Zhao Minmin"
...
A bunch of fans of the innocent goddess erupted, spreading wildly on the internet: [Return us our pure goddess! Return us our pure goddess!]
[Oh my God, I've liked her for so many years, I can't believe she's this kind of person!]
[Damn! Just a slut pretending to be a white lotus all day, I've even cursed at how many people for her.]
[I feel so stupid!]
[We've been deceived!]
[Get out of the entertainment industry, liar!]
...
Zhao Minmin was still in her dream when her house door was opened.
"Who is it?" She was a bit displeased. The villa where she was staying belonged to one of her sponsors, and naturally, the keyholder was also this sponsor.
Last night, didn't he say he was going back to accompany his wife? Why is he here so early?
Annoying, causing her another sleepless night.
Though unhappy inside, she still put on a look of "Dear, I missed you so much" and moved forward to greet him.
However, what greeted her wasn't sweet words but a slap.
"Slap—"
Zhao Minmin was a bit stunned. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"You whore!"
"Chairman Lu... why did you hit me?" Whether it was physical pain or emotional pain, Zhao Minmin couldn't help but shed tears. Even so, she didn't forget to maintain her image, crying delicately and not letting herself look too ugly while crying.
"What's going on? You're asking me what's going on?! Look at these things..." With a slap, Chairman Lu threw a pile of things in front of her.
Newspapers, magazines, and prints, all filled with explicit male and female forms, clearly indicating what was happening.
