"Do you think Xiaofei is watching the broadcast?" Tang Liyan asked Bai Qingyue as they waited for the hosts to introduce them to their audience.
Bai Qingyue let out a chuckle and shook her head.
"Shouldn't you know her better than me, Sister Tang?" She teased back.
Tang Liyan let out an amused laugh at that. "Right. I should know better. She will definitely be watching to see how everything will turn out today."
It wasn't the first time that Su Xiaofei had used this same method to clear the name of Bluemedia's talent in public. She would put her talent in the hot seat and allow the hosts to throw direct or harsh questions at them. If that wasn't enough, Su Xiaofei would make sure to publish irrevocable evidence in the public to support their claims. It was as if Su Xiaofei wouldn't send them here unless she was certain that they would be able to turn the tables on those allegations.
The two were then allowed to join the hosts on the stage, taking seats across them. Not long after the director gave the cue and let the camera roll.
"It's been a decade since two queens shared the big screen together and now, two reigning queens are eager to prove that real queens didn't need to go against each other, but to make sure their crowns stayed on top of their heads. With two of the biggest entertainment agencies releasing a film directed by a renowned world class director, these queens would leave us on the edge of our seats. These queens are none other than Tang Liyan and Bai Qingyue!" The female host announced, followed by a loud cheering from the audience area.
Afterward, the male host started asking Tang Liyan and Bai Qingyue regarding the film they were both promoting, asking about their experience working with each other for the first time. The first half of the interview was focused mainly on the film and what the audience could expect from it. However, during the commercial break, another wave of allegations was thrown towards Bai Qingyue online, igniting another round of heated arguments within the forum.
Photos of comparison between Bai Qingyue and Su Xiaofei were released, each showing how the two resembled each other in so many ways. The caption even implied that Su Xiaofei was the daughter Bai Qingyue had out of wedlock. Whoever released these photos only added fuel to the fire.
'The resemblance between the two is really uncunny. One could easily have mistaken President Su as Bai Qingyue in a quick glance.'
'You think she's really Bai Qingyue's daughter? But why would she end up being the heiress of Bluemedia?'
The netizens had different opinions over the matter, but most of the fans weren't blind to see that someone was targeting Bai Qingyue.
'Surely this isn't just a hype Bluemedia started just to promote the recent film they produced with Golden Star, right?'
'I agree with the commenter above. Did you notice that the usernames of the one who posted the rumor and the one spreading the photos are the same? They are really putting in quite an effort to besmirch Miss Bai's reputation.'
Bai Qingyue's phone beeped from her pocket, she immediately checked it and saw that it was a short message from her daughter, informing her that Ye Mingyu had already exposed their relationship as mother and daughter in public.
The actress remained impassive. Her face showed nothing that could imply that she was bothered by Ye Mingyu's move. However, deep down, she was already seething with anger. How dare someone like Ye Mingyu think that she could bully her daughter?
When the second half of the talk show resumed, it was obvious that the hosts wanted to put her in the hot seat this time. Bai Qingyue could sense that the two were hesitating, but the director had given them the go-signal to corner the actress.
"Miss Bai… currently, there's a hot allegation being thrown at you, would you be willing to bring light to these rumors?" The female host asked, treading carefully as she probed the actress.
Bai Qingyue gave her a small smile, making the hosts uncomfortable. "It depends on whether those allegations make sense."
"Then would you tell us why you left Golden Star Entertainment as soon as you finished filming the movie with Miss Tang and signed with Bluemedia in a hurry?"
"While it's true that Golden Star gave me the opportunity and allowed me to reach where I am now today, I believe that it was time for us to go our separate ways as our goals and priorities are different now."
"Then why did you choose Bluemedia when there are other larger entertainment agencies that could give you better benefits?" The male host found an opening and continued to probe.
Bai Qingyue cocked her head to one side and chuckled, while Tang Liyan remained calm next to her.
"Because President Su and her team intrigues me. Is that enough reason for you to believe me?"
The two hosts looked at each other, before the male host took the opportunity to ask Bai Qingyue what everyone wanted to ask her right now.
"Speaking of President Su, there is news spreading around that she's the child you abandoned. Someone posted photos comparing you and President Su. What can you say about these rumors?"
"You know, when I first met President Su six years ago, I thought that I was looking at my own reflection when I saw her. I'm not surprised that people are seeing it the way I saw it before. However, believe it or not, scientists say that statistically, every person has roughly six doppelgangers out there in the world. That means there are seven people with your face, including you, out there. So how is it different for me? Why is it that President Su can only be my daughter and not a close relative or a doppelganger like everyone has?"
