Chapter 455 - Little by Little (IV)
When the news that Xiong Wuyue was kicked out of the Xiong family\'s registry started to truly spread all over the country, the subject of all these scandals was currently driving incognito towards G Province.
Xiong Wuyue wore a big hat to cover her face, even inside her car.
Previously, she had heard all kinds of accusations, mocking, and name-shaming directed at her.
The netizens and even her fans who now turned into her sunspots kept on insulting her unabashedly.
Xiong Wuyue felt as if everyone in the world hated her all of the sudden, including the people who once adored her. She bit her nails hard in panic, feeling terrified and uneasy.
When she first awakened from the heartbreak that Linfeng shoved to her ruthlessly, she found herself back at home, sent back by her driver. She lost the appetite to eat and she became delusional that this must be all a bad dream.
A nightmare.
How could the man she loved treat her that way?
Those cold eyes directed at her…
Her Linfeng must have been brainwashed by that bitch.
Hiding under the covers of her blanket, the trembling Xiong Wuyue sought motivation on this newfound hope.
\'Maybe, if I can get Linfeng away from that woman\'s influence and brainwashing, I can save Linfeng! Maybe, he will agree to stay with me then…\'
This desperate thought made Xiong Wuyue get up from her bed and out of her chaotic room.
But when she came out, the maids who should be serving her was gone.
There was not a single butler in sight.
The huge mansion was empty.
The people who silently endured working here finally left Xiong Wuyue to fend for herself.
Xiong Wuyue was so devastated by her heartbreak that she did not open her social accounts, so she was ignorant of how severe her current situations was.
She did not know that reputation was damaged beyond belief, to the point that it could not be saved anymore, more so now without the backing of the Xiong family.
The people who worked in the mansion were one of the first people to learn of the news that their employer, the Xiong family, expelled their Young Miss Xiong Wuyue from the registry.
There was a notice from the main Xiong family sent to the mansion and the head butler had read it, so it was definitely real.
Since their boss was no longer a Xiong anymore, Xiong Wuyue probably would not be able to last long without her father and the surname Xiong sheltering her. They knew that this house was done for.
So the maids and butlers who had been long tormented by her were not polite at all.
Overnight, they all left hastily without even notifying her, for fear of her troubles.
They did not want to stay for a moment longer in this hopeless and terrible place.
The only person left was an old maid who had a weak body and could not travel during the night.
She was left here together with Xiong Wuyue.
Xiong Wuyue, who did not know that she was already expelled from the family, was outraged.
Even the servants dared to mock her now?!
How dare them!
She was still a young miss of the Xiong family!
Xiong Wuyue gritted her teeth in anger.
It was that bitch\'s fault that she fell so low like this that even a servant pulled such a rude act on her.
She must teach these lowlifes a lesson!
Xiong Wuyue wanted to thrash everything, but her weak body which had not eaten or drank for more than a day could not afford the toss. She could not even lift a book properly. She could only order the old maid to cook for her.
The old maid had to do all the chores for her, but she also had weak body, so she was very slow in finishing the chores.
It was hard to clean up and abide to the Young Miss\'s orders at the same time.
Xiong Wuyue who got a little energy from eating vented up her frustration on the poor old woman.
Yet she could not fire her only maid so she just yelled and threw a few things to the old woman that would not kill her.
Once she got Linfeng back, she would then dispose of this useless maid who worked like a sloth.
Why the hell was this kind of useless maid even kept in the mansion?!
Afterwards, she planned to leave and find Linfeng, but she realized that her driver was no longer present.
She had no choice but to drive her car herself.
Xiong Wuyue had wanted to get some fresh air so her windshield was down when she slowly drove the car out of the gate.
The moment the gate opened though, she was suddenly confronted by a group of reporters.
When the reporters saw Xiong Wuyue inside the car, the media who had been camping out since day one immediately shouted at her.
"Miss Xiong Wuyue!"
They were like a flock of pigeons that were disturbed and caused an uproar.
Xiong Wuyue was baffled.
How come they were here?!
The entire villa area only contained their mansion, which was why she confidently lowered her windshield.
This place had a tight security because it was owned by the Xiong family.
The media should not be able to enter here without the Xiong family\'s approval.
Xiong Wuyue instantly suspected Xiong Zhi.
It must be her!
However, what Xiong Wuyue did not know was that Xiong Zhi no longer needed to give orders because everything went along the natural flow of power.
Those who were once powerful but turned weak would be abandoned and stepped on.
There was no security here because they all left last night after receiving the notice that the person they were protecting was no longer a Xiong family member.
There was no point to continue staying.
That was why the bold and resourceful reporters could finally enter.
Xiong Wuyue did not know this, but her face was ashen due to her anger and shame.
Flashes of light and the voices of the reporters erupted everywhere.
At this moment, Xiong Wuyue was stuck on the gate, unable to drive out because of the reporters blocking the car in front.
She drove in reverse and began to retreat behind the gates.
But one question from the reporters made her pause.
"Miss Xiong Wuyue, what can you say about the Xiong family\'s statement this morning?"
\'Statement from the Xiong family?\'
This one question gave Xiong Wuyue a bad feeling.
However, she did not ask the reporters and forcefully closed the gate while retreating.
Her car almost got jammed in between.
Fortunately, the reporters could not follow inside.
Back inside the mansion, Xiong Wuyue was enraged.
How could she go out and find Linfeng with those bothersome reporters around?! There was also unease in her heart that told her something worst happened out there. She was scared to open her social accounts since she knew that she would be the subject of humiliation because of what happened that day. She battled whether to check online or not.
Finally, she could not restrain herself anymore and opened her Weibo.
The first thing she saw was the number of people who followed her. Her more than ten million followers had fallen to a few hundreds.
Her fingers trembled as she swiped on her phone.
A lot of people cursed her and called her different names. They mocked everything about her as if they were lords looking at a worm. She just wanted to check, but now she regretted.
She felt dizzy due to anger.
The reputation that she painstakingly built went downhill in a flash.
Not only that, she also became a laughing stock!
When she saw the trending tags in the search engines, it was all related to her.
Her audition video. The trouble she caused in the cast announcement. The posts of the staff and artists who said she harmed them.
Xiong Wuyue\'s pupils dilated. Black and white dots appeared in the corners of her vision.
Seeing all the insults, the bashing, the extreme cyber violence she never knew she would experience for herself, Xiong Wuyue almost threw up blood.
She was livid!
She was so angry to the point that she could not stop trembling.
A loud scream and smashing sounds began to erupt again inside her already chaotic room.
"Why?! Why do these things keep on happening to me?! Why?!"
Then a \'ding\' sound was heard.
A new notification came.
It was a repost about the current top search a minute ago, with her name tagged on it.
It was the Xiong family\'s statement.
Xiong Wuyue was afraid to check it, but her trembling fingers still tapped on it.
What she read made her totally pass out.
