The Movie Queen's Mouth is Blessed - Chapter 33

Jiang Xiaobai had thought it might take a couple of days for the result to manifest. Still, to her surprise, Li Biying’s trouble arrived that night.

“Shocking revelation from a famous variety show host: L-surname rising starlet is a diva!”

Jiang Xiaobai came across this trending news after her shower. At first, she didn’t associate it with Li Biying because the host’s hints were vague.

The host, Guo Zi, was in her early thirties but had already made a name for herself at nineteen. Now, she was a household name.

Known for her wit, humor, high emotional intelligence, and quick reflexes, Guo Zi left a lasting impression on every guest on her variety shows. Her hosting style was impeccable—she never missed a beat, avoided awkward moments, and efficiently handled unexpected situations.

However, she had a trait that was both a strength and a weakness—her sharpness.

If she chose to play dumb, everyone could get along just fine. But when she decided to dig deeper, guests would often panic because there was almost nothing she couldn’t uncover.

This earned her admirers and enemies, but Guo Zi remained fearless.

The trending news was in the form of a video. It was clear that she was participating in a popular reality show, where the guests were casually chatting when the topic of celebrities with big egos came up.

Guo Zi said, “I recall a female celebrity I witnessed acting like a diva…”

She recounted an incident a few years ago when a female celebrity had just risen to fame. The show had invited her to record an episode. Still, upon arrival, she began nitpicking—the recording studio was too hot, the sofa wasn’t soft enough, the schedule was too long…

She also bossed the staff around without courtesy, demanding this and that and throwing tantrums if things didn’t meet her standards. She even insisted on hand-ground coffee, leaving many staff members frustrated.

After Guo Zi finished her story, the other guests became curious and asked who the female celebrity was.

Guo Zi simply chuckled, “I can’t say. That would be openly offending someone. But if you can guess it, that’s none of my business.”

Her sharp eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief, giving her a youthful, playful demeanor.

“Sister Guo, you’re not afraid of offending anyone! We don’t believe that! Tell us her surname, and we’ll guess the rest,” a male guest joked.

Guo Zi had connections, and many had heard rumors about her privileged background. She came from a wealthy family and had entered the entertainment industry purely out of passion.

Without such backing, who would dare to be so openly sharp? And how could she have survived in this chaotic industry for over a decade?

“Her surname…” Guo Zi rolled her eyes and said, “I can tell you that it starts with the letter L.”

After that, the other guests began guessing, but Guo Zi remained tight-lipped, smiling without revealing anything.

The episode quickly piqued viewers’ curiosity. Guo Zi’s hints were clear—the female celebrity was highly popular, had been in the industry for several years, and had a significant reputation. Naturally, everyone wanted to know who this L-surname celebrity was.

There weren’t a few L-surname rising stars, and even fewer had worked with Guo Zi. Netizens began speculating, and it didn’t take long for someone to point the finger at Li Biying.

It would have been just a passing gossip topic if it had ended there. Without concrete evidence, speculation would eventually die down.

But things didn’t stop there. Almost as soon as the video went viral, a “concerned netizen” dropped a bombshell.

[Xiao Feng Is Eating Lemons Today: Who else could the L-surname starlet be but LBY? My best friend worked at the TV station three years ago and told me that when they invited L as a guest, she acted above everyone else, constantly nitpicking and scolding her assistant like her servant. My friend was an intern then and had to hand-grind her coffee, only to be yelled at because it was too hot! My friend was so traumatized that she quit the industry, saying that celebrities are all fake and you can’t trust their public image!]

This netizen wasn’t a celebrity but an ordinary person. A quick look at her profile revealed a girl who loved life, often sharing photos of food, travel, and herself.

By directly mentioning LBY, she might as well have named Li Biying outright. The comments section exploded—

[Biying Is My Angel: Don’t slander my idol! She’s a sweet and kind person, always cheerful and bubbly. This is defamation!]

[I Love Cola: Exactly! Another clout chaser. Hands off our Biying!]

Most netizens didn’t believe it. Li Biying’s public appearances always painted her as a gentle, adorable girl, entirely at odds with the image of a diva who bullied her staff.

Many criticized the blogger, but she didn’t back down. She fired back with another post.

[Xiao Feng Is Eating Lemons Today: If my best friend hadn’t experienced this firsthand, I couldn’t believe it, but it’s true! I’ll tell you straight—the episode aired on April 19th. You can check it out for yourselves. Guo Zi’s attitude during the interview already hinted at something. Also, think about it—how many assistants have L gone through since her debut? If she weren’t abusive, why would they change so frequently?]

Her words prompted some actually to look up the episode.

Three years ago, on April 19th, Li Biying appeared on the show hosted by Guo Zi.

Those familiar with Guo Zi quickly noticed something off. Her smile was noticeably restrained compared to her usual humor, and her questions to Li Biying seemed unusually pointed.

As for the frequent assistant changes, it was easy to verify. A quick look at Li Biying’s airport photos over the years showed that her assistants were rarely the same person.

With these two pieces of evidence, many began to doubt Li Biying’s innocence. Soon after, someone dug up the Weibo account of Xiao Feng’s best friend.

The girl no longer worked at the TV station. She was now a flight attendant, and her Weibo was filled with beautiful photos of scenery, food, and selfies.

A post she made on April 19th, three years ago, confirmed her identity as Xiao Feng’s friend.
