Athena was now the third most-searched topic on the Internet. The termination of the contract with Sang Xiyue was also a hot topic. Even # SwanPrincess was trending.

Although it was already late at night, many people were still commenting on this matter. It seems like everyone was a night owl who liked watching a show.

Huo Zheng read Athena’s statement before he clicked on the recording. He could not help but raise an eyebrow after listening to it.

‘He charges us a 2% craftsmanship fee for the sake of our relationship?’

He continued to browse the comments. Soon, he saw a comment left by a verified account. It belonged to a small but high-end clothing brand that specialized in traditional clothing. Qiao You’an was a WIP customer of the company. The company came out and stated that the shawl was from them and even thanked Lin Xiaowan for the free publicity.

[I just took a look at the official website! The price of the shawl is too much for me!]

[My dream of buying the same shawl has been shattered. What a shame! I really liked the shawl. It looks warm and comfortable. Does anyone know where I can get something similar?]

[To think that the shawl was used as ‘evidence’ to prove that the Swan Princess was wearing a knockoff…]

[I’m really curious about the Swan Princess’ identity. Gu Yuwu said she’s not in the entertainment industry. So is she Gu Yuwu’s friend?]

At this moment, an account that had just been created suddenly posted a photo. The photo was not extremely clear, but it was still much clearer than the photos that were originally released. At the very least, Lin Xiaowan’s side profile could be clearly seen.

There were three people in the photo, and the angle from which the photo was taken was very good. Sang Xiyue wore a bright smile on her face while Gu Yuwu’s expression was icy. Meanwhile, Lin Xiaowan’s eyes were bright, but her expression was wary when she looked at Sang Xiyue.

Assistant Song, who was Huo Zheng’s right-hand man, had been keeping an eye on the situation. In fact, he was not the only one. He had spoken to the company, and there was now a team of people monitoring the situation.

As such, the photo that was uploaded was quickly deleted.

It did not take long for a few netizens who had seen the photo to discover that the photo was no longer available. Some of them left a comment asking about the photo. However, not many people had seen the photo so it did not generate much wave.

Meanwhile, Sang Xiyue was in a terrible state. Her manager, Lily, had found out that she had tried to use Lin Xiaowan to become more popular and had scolded her badly.

Lily grew even angrier when she saw the accusation that Sang Xiyue had worn a knock-off dress and that Sang Xiyue’s contract was going to be terminated.

Lily slammed her hand on the table and rebuked loudly, “What should we do now?! Tell me! It’s not like you just debuted so how could you be so muddle-headed? Are you stupid? You’re the brand ambassador. Why would you wear a counterfeit dress? If you’d asked for the dress from the brand, they would’ve given it to you! What were you thinking?!”

Sang Xiyue felt extremely aggrieved. She was wearing the clothes provided by the brand. She did not understand how it was fake. She protested loudly, “I really didn’t wear a knockoff! I don’t know why the person in the recording said I’m wearing a knockoff! Who knows if the recording is fake!”

Lily looked at Sang Xiyue as though she was a fool and said, “Are you stupid, Sang Xiyue? You were their brand ambassador! Why would they falsely accuse you? It would only negatively impact them! Can you use your brain before you speak and act?”

Sang Xiyue was naturally upset. She was thoroughly humiliated this time. If she could not give a satisfactory explanation this time, no brand would dare to approach her for endorsement.

Lily sighed and said, “There’s nothing we can do now. Apologize and admit your mistake. Keep a low profile for now.” Then, her expression turned solemn as she continued to say, “Also, we have to find out why your dress became a fake. Who gave you the dress?”

It was the assistant whom Sang Xiyue disliked most.

Sang Xiyue stammered a little as she told Lily that the assistant had made a mistake earlier so she had scolded the assistant. In the end, the assistant decided to resign.

Lily felt her temper rise again when she heard this. She scolded, “Can you control your temper? She’s your assistant, not your punching bag!”

After a moment, Lily felt that something was amiss. She frowned and asked, “She resigned so suddenly? She doesn’t even care about her salary? You said that she was the one who gave you that dress? Didn’t you feel that something was wrong at all?”

Sang Xiyue’s brain was the size of a walnut. How could she have thought of so much? In any case, she was usually a little harsh toward her assistant, and she did not think too much about it.

“This isn’t right. Apologize first. I’ll contact her,” Lily said. She had rushed over here late at night and was now ready to leave.

Before leaving, Lily repeatedly reminded Sang Xiyue, “Remember to apologize! Don’t pay attention to what other people say, and don’t provoke Gu Yuwu! If she really makes a move, it’s over for you. We’ll discuss what to do about the termination of the contract later. The most important thing now is to clean up your image.”

Sang Xiyue replied irritably, “I know.”

Lin Xiaowan was blissfully unaware that Sang Xiyue had been exposed for wearing a counterfeit dress. It was as though the entire matter had nothing to do with her at all. She did not usually pay attention to news from the entertainment industry and would not deliberately search for it.

Lin Xiaowan happily dressed up and went on a date with Huo Zheng.

After dinner, the two of them wandered the streets and ran into a street artist.

Lin Xiaowan was very interested and pulled Huo Zheng with her to get their portrait drawn.

The street artist looked like a college student. It was already close to the start of spring, but the weather was still very cold. Although his hands were red from the cold, it did not affect him at all as he drew and painted with watercolors. His movements were skilled and smooth.

Lin Xiaowan was not in a hurry to leave after the portrait was drawn. She stood at the side and watched the street artist draw with great interest.

Huo Zheng did not rush her and stood by her side patiently. Seeing how interested she was, he asked, “Do you like drawing?”

“A little,” Lin Xiaowan replied.

Lin Xiaowan had many art books at home. She also bought many art supplies such as brushes, watercolors, acrylic paints, oil painting sticks, and the likes. It was clear what her interest was.

When Lin Xiaowan returned to the old residence, she felt that it was a little deserted. Huang Dabao and Huang Erbao started school today so they moved back to their house in the city. She also wanted to move back to their house in the city and expressed her thoughts to Huo Zheng.

Huo Zheng did not reply, but he asked her if she wanted to learn how to draw instead.

“Learn how to draw?”
