The character of the goddess was also hyped up by the production team. Seeing that the public’s response was very good, they released a few of the behind-the-scenes clips and Lin Xiaowan’s voice acting.
Lin Xiaowan’s voice was completely different from the character she played. Her voice was soft, to begin with, and she had no experience in voice acting. She sounded soft and slightly awlward when she said the lines, completely lacking the aura of a goddess. Instead, just like some comments said, she sounded more like a child who had been ignored and was seeking attention.
Many people who left comments in Lin Xiaowan’s comment section went to the drama’s official account to discuss the plot and the characters. After all, the finale was coming up, and everyone was following the drama closely.
In comparison, Lin Xiaowan’s participation in the Venus Hope Competition did not receive much attention. After all, it was just a local competition in Shengjing, and she did not even rank first. It naturally could not compare to a drama that was being aired nationally.
A small number of comments did discuss the Venus Hope Competition. However, the number was so small that the comments about the fantasy drama easily drowned the comments
Qiao You’an left the children behind and brought Lin Xiaowan with her for Fashion Week two days before it started.
Fashion Week was a grand event in the fashion world. Many people would attend it, and the media would be there taking pictures and interviewing people.
Lin Xiaowan and Qiao You’an avoided the attention and entered through the back entrance. The show was from a foreign brand that had been around for a long time.
Lin Xiaowan knew a little about the brand. She had quite a lot of clothes from the brand in her wardrobe.
The brand had been around for hundreds of years, and in recent years, its clothes and accessories became even more popular.
Lin Xiaowan asked Qiao You’an, “Sister-in-law, there’s a celebrity couple behind us. Do you know them? I’m certain the media will definitely take pictures of them. 1 heard their wedding will be held in a castle. Everyone said that the castle belongs to the actor. He’s very rich.”
When Lin Xiaowan was gossiping, her accent from her hometown came out a little.
Qiao You’an glanced at her and patted her head as she said, “I don’t think he’s that rich. It isn’t that easy to earn money in the entertainment industry. Moreover, one’s popularity in the industry can fall in just a blink of an eye.”
Qiao You’an knew a little about the castle wedding. The actress was quite ostentatious after all. She thought she was marrying into a rich family, but things were not as glamorous as they seemed. Moreover, the castle did not belong to the actor.
Lin Xiaowan nodded, only half-understanding as she said, “But 1 think it’s quite easy to earn money in the entertainment industry. Just a movie can earn them tens of millions…”
“The industry is very complicated, and there are many factors involved. If you want to act, look for Huo Zheng or Gu Yuwu, okay? Don’t mess around on your own. You’re so innocent that you’ll be easily cheated.”
“I know, I know. I don’t want to act anyway. It’s so scary to be stared at by so many people while filming.”
Qiao You’an laughed. “What’s so scary? 1 saw the little goddess was acting very freely.”
Lin Xiaowan felt embarrassed talking about this. She complained, “Sister-in-law, you’re teasing me again!”
“I’m not teasing you. The two little kids at home like it very much. They said you’re as beautiful as a fairy,” Qiao You’an said with a smile.
The duo attended many shows for two days and bought quite a lot of things.
Coincidentally, although the duo avoided the media, Lin Xiaowan was captured in the photo of a group of celebrities while she was covering her mouth as she was laughing and speaking to Qiao You’an.
A few observant netizens immediately noticed the ‘young goddess’ who recently appeared on television.
Lin Xiaowan only had a small cameo in the drama. She had never acted before that, and she was also not part of a management company. Not only that, she also did not have an extraordinary background. For this reason, many people began to wonder how she could attend Fashion Week.
Some people speculated that it was due to Gu Yuwu’s good relationship with Lin Xiaowan. They said that Gu Yuwu introduced her to influential people in the industry, hoping to use Lin Xiaowan in some way. In short, they spoke as though they knew what was happening.
There were even a number of people who said that Lin Xiaowan was able to attend Fashion Week and wear branded clothing because she had a sugar daddy.
Lin Xiaowan was stunned when she saw these comments. She was eating with Qiao You’an when she found out about this.
Qiao You’an was naturally unhappy. She complained about Huo Zheng immediately. “What is Huo Zheng doing? Why aren’t his subordinates monitoring the news online?”
Lin Xiaowan was also displeased that Gu Yuwu was dragged into this matter. “Why are they talking about Sister Yuwu like that? They’re really ridiculous.”
“This has nothing to do with you. Someone probably doesn’t like Gu Yuwu and took this opportunity to cause trouble for her. You don’t have to worry too much. You don’t know what Gu Yuwu is capable of.”
Lin Xiaowan pouted. “But we can’t just let them get away with this, right?”
At the same time, Qiao You’an sent a message to the family group chat, scolding Huo Zheng.
Lin Xiaowan also sent a message, expressing her unhappiness about Gu Yuwu being dragged into this matter.
Huo Zheng did not care about this. He only said, “It’s the entertainment industry after all. They like making mountains out of molehills. I’ll remove the news later.”
“But 1 don’t like them talking about Sister Yuwu like that. It’s so unpleasant.”
Gu Yuwu was accompanying her dear husband on a trip. The time difference was huge where she was. Based on the time, she was likely sleeping at this moment and was unaware of the rumors that were being spread about her.
When Gu Yuwu and her husband were dating, she had strictly told him that he was not to interfere in her life in the entertainment industry whether it was good or bad. As such, he had always been like an invisible person in this regard.
Qiao You’an looked at Lin Xiaowan who was reading the comments angrily. Her face was puffed up, and she looked extremely cute.
Qiao You’an said with a smile, “It’s fine. Don’t worry. Just say whatever you want to them. There’s no need to be so conflicted.”
Lin Xiaowan scoffed, putting her phone away as she muttered, “Ha, 1 hate brainless people the most! What sugar daddy? I really hate people who make speculations maliciously!”
Qiao You’an said, trying to appease her, “Don’t you have a photo with me? Why don’t you post it for everyone to see? Let them know you don’t have a sugar daddy.”
Lin Xiaowan was still thinking about how to respond when she heard Qiao You’an’s words. She paused for a moment. Indeed, they had taken a lot of photos during their trip. She had even carefully edited them before sending them to the family’s group chat.
Lin Xiaowan said hesitantly, “Isn’t that bad for you? You rarely appear in the media after all.”
It was not just Qiao You’an. The two Huo brothers were the same. They rarely posted photos of their private lives.
“It’s fine. Our photos are beautiful.. What’s wrong with letting people see
them?”
