Sister Mai Na's eyes narrowed into a dangerous line. "Miss emcee, do you also think that Xiao Ling has insulted her?"

The emcee glanced at her unfriendly expression and felt a chill enter her heart. It was only now that she realized she had said something wrong — even if there were tons of rumors spreading, but there was no hard evidence to prove anything. As an emcee, even if she wanted to bias the conversation a certain way, she had to be wary of her public image and could not state anything with certainty.

Otherwise, she would risk ending up like that man who had been taken away by the police.

She laughed dryly. "I was just regurgitating the rumors."

Jeers rang out from the audience. Rumors? And she dared ask the question so indignantly?

The emcee did not know where to hide in the midst of the rumors as she started to regret receiving the bribe from Imperial Entertainment, putting herself in this embarrassing situation.

Sister Mai Na smiled and lifted the microphone to her lips. "Not everyone will believe rumors, and before the truth comes to light, we should not splash dirty water on others. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Gu Financial Magnate for being able to tell right from wrong, and to not have been misled by the rumors, thus being willing to hand the endorsement deal for 'Meteor Wings' to Xiao Ling."

Her words were befitting of the situation, neither humble nor pushy, and making others think deeper.

Before the truth had come to light.

The Gu Financial Magnate was willing to use Ye Xingling.

The Gu Financial Magnate's reputation has always been good...

Stringing all these together, someone in the audience tugged on the arm of the friend she had come with and asked, "Do you think that Ye Xingling was really falsely accused? The Gu Financial Magnate's criteria for choosing endorsers is extremely stringent, and would never choose an artiste with a bad record. Before they chose Ye Xingling they would probably have investigated the truth thoroughly. The investigation must have revealed that she did nothing wrong and, hence, they decided to pick her."

"That's impossible..." Her friend was suspicious. "If Ye Xingling is innocent, then is Xia Yu the one lying and falsely accusing Ye Xingling of insulting Xia Ling? Xia Yu looks so innocent and kind, it can't be..."

"We shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Who knows if Xia Yu is truly so innocent?"

"That's true..." Her friend started to waver.

Those in the audience that had started to waver were numerous. Even though they liked Xia Yu, but a large part of that was because she was the beloved younger sister of the Diva Xia Ling who had passed on, and they were simply redirecting their love for Xia Ling. In actual fact, in terms of temperament, that girl named Ye Xingling was more similar to Diva Xia Ling. That arrogant air that she had when onstage, the courage that she had to face all the harshness of the world with an unchanging expression, that was the continuation of the temperament of a Diva.

What about Xia Yu? Xia Yu was nothing like her sister in temperament. Many of Xia Ling's fans had become Xia Yu's fans only because of their devotion to Xia Ling. How many actually admired Xia Yu from the depths of their hearts?

"Let's be more rational." Many were discussing in low voices, "It has been tough for that girl called Ye Xingling as well, being embroiled in something so devastating to her career this early on. Even the Gu family believes that she did not insult Xia Ling, maybe there is some misunderstanding after all?"
