CHAPTER 178: CHAPTER 177: MOVIE EMPEROR

Chapter 177: Movie Emperor

Back at Starnet, a new post from someone made the internet blown again.

It’s apparently from the movie emperor Pei Roujin. His post first talked about the real story of his life until the turning point where his mother and sister died from an accident that he thought.

@PeiRoujin_Official:For years, I had forced myself to be better so I could continue to live for them. I had always regretted not giving them the best life they deserved when they were still alive and could only helplessly accept the truth. But it turns out that their death was never an accident. They were not taken from me by fate but due to the heinous criminal who didn’t pity my family. I don’t care about the consequences of my actions at this moment or whether you’ll still choose to stay with me— I’m sorry. But I will do everything to give them justice so please, let me.

As soon as his fans read his message, it instantly went viral, making the issue about the Sheng family heated even more than it could be.

EmperorRoujinismyLife: What is this?! It’s not enough after bombarding the world with Bai Yue and the Sheng family’s issue and even the emperor has his too?! But what the hell is this?! Mother-in-law and little sister-in-law were actually murdered by Sheng Du?! Fuck! This is already too much!

BrotherRoujinLetsgo: It’s been too long since their deaths and brother Roujin was actually just forcing himself to accept this because we all thought that it was just an accident. Who would have thought that there’s a huge conspiracy on this?! Brother, I am with you on fighting on this! Let’s give not just your family but also the innocent people who had been harmed by their evil deeds!

JustMyEmperorForLife: I am also with Brother Roujin. I’ve always known him as someone who’s very calm and steady even amidst chaos in front of the camera. He had proved himself to us and worked harder than anyone else. He wanted to live up to everyone’s expectations, especially for his mother and sister. Now that we’ve known that they haven’t had peace since their death, let’s fight against those sinful perpetrators and send them to jail!

Pei Roujin has been the Movie Emperor for the past three consecutive years and it’s no doub how large his fanbase is all around the world. Thus as soon as he released his story, the hatred that the Sheng family accumulated doubled and even some people went to their house to throw rotten eggs.

And since their mansion had been raided by the police, they’re already removed the security there for easy access to investigation. Therefore, the boxes of rotten eggs that had been thrown to their mansion flew all over the place. And it’s not just rotten eggs but also some garbage that stinks in order to express their disgust and hatred to the family.

In addition, fans of Pei Roujin dug up all the social media of the Sheng family, no matter how distant they are from the main family, they had been bombarded with hatred.

And one of them is Sheng Yan.

Before the issue, he had been slowly accumulating fans for his gentleness and soothing voice. Even if he was not like other trainees who’s very explosive on stage, doesn’t have unique visuals nor even have a powerful background, he was like the epitome of how an ordinary person strives hard to make their dreams come true.

Many noticed his sincerity and they want to support him along the way.

Unfortunately, the news made a harsh downfall of his reality.

As soon as someone dug up his information about being a distant relative of the Sheng, they wasted time spreading this news. The anti-fans or even the fans from other trainees quickly used this to spread hate on his special individual performance video.

PeiRoujin’sWife: He should get out of the competition! I can’t believe someone like him is with Brother Roujin all this time! And to think that he was one of the trainees that I am routine for to debut! So disgusting!

MrsPeiAllthetime: I hate that Sheng Yan! I remember Brother Roujin even gave him advice from the official audition. He was giving such precious words to him without knowing he’s a relative to someone who killed his family. How cruel and ironic!

StanmyRoujinAlltheway: Who can contact the company and let him leave the competition? I don’t want him near my brother nor to any trainees!

Of course, there are rational fans and passers-by who tried to defend him. After all, Sheng Yan was just Sheng Du’s distant relative and from the information, they weren’t in contact even for any moment in their life. No matter how cruel he was, was it really right to include someone who didn’t do anything?

Yet even if they agree to not hate him, they also couldn’t express their rejection of letting him out the competition. Or worse, giving up Pei Roujin instead? Because of the incidents, it seems not right having the two in the same space because Pei Roujin may confuse his opinion to Sheng Yan. It’s either giving up from the two to cease something.

The company also thought of this and thus called for them. Inside the meeting room, silence engulfed the room and Sheng Yan couldn’t help but hang his head low in dismay.

Even if they didn’t say it, wasn’t it already obvious that it’s easy giving up on him rather than Pei Roujin? They wouldn’t lose anything if it’s him so why bother thinking of letting him go?

However... he quietly clenches his fist.

He didn’t do anything wrong. It was not him and he and Sheng Du didn’t even have anything to do with each other.

— or rather, he was the relative who refused to help his family instead.

During those years when his family tried to ask for help for his grandmother who fell sick, they wanted help from them. But did they? Never.

Sheng Yan’s family is even below the average life of an ordinary person. Even though they could still eat three times a day, it was not enough for the family especially when they fall sick. For them, eating was only to relieve the growling of their stomach and survive, but never to satisfy their cravings and such.

Unlike those people who can even pick what to eat, for them, it was enough to eat anything as long as they don’t go hungry.

This is even considered luckier than those who don’t have anything to eat, Sheng Yan knew that. Thus, other than for his dreams, he wanted to win and work for his family. To give them a life where they could sigh in relief as there’s food in the fridge every morning and lay their beds to sleep without worrying what to do to make money.

Unfortunately, maybe this is even the time to say goodbye to that dream.

"The company had already held a meeting before this and made a decision on what to do." Qian Jin said.

Sheng Yan’s grip went tighter as he waited for his verdict.
