This New Year's celebration was extremely lively.

Under Qi Hao's deliberate efforts to suppress the situation, various events finally diverted attention from him and An Feng.

China's new generation of stealth fighters—the J-20 has successfully test-flown!

This is a very exciting event.

Qi Hao had no intention of competing for attention; he hoped this would become a major point of pride and discomfort for those who idolize foreign things.

This is a legitimate news story, but there's also an unorthodox one.

Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu issued an exclusive statement through Sina Entertainment, confirming that the two had completed their divorce proceedings today at the civil affairs department, thus ending their seven-year marriage.

In their statement, the two said they would still regard each other as the most trusted family member in their lives after the breakup and would continue to believe in love and uphold it for life.

The two developed from classmates to lovers, entering the wedding hall as soon as they graduated. Their affectionate relationship had always been envied and they were seen as a "model couple."

Yao Chen became a well-known star due to "The Legend of Martial Arts," and "Infiltration" further cemented her status.

Meanwhile, Ling Xiaosu played "Hong Shixian," delivering many memorable lines:

‌Love is the most useless thing; money is what's necessary.

‌You're just a mistress; what more do you want, a honeymoon?

Saying things like "you're mine, and I'm yours," how tiring; just be happy.

If I chose you because of love today, one day I might abandon you for the same reason; love is the most unreliable thing.

You're so provocative.

Of course, Ling Xiaosu can't compare to Yao Chen, who is now a top-tier star.

If things stopped here, this would just be a simple divorce story.

People might merely lament that the shelf life of love is too short.

It seems especially short for celebrities.

This kind of divorce news is essentially no different from the love scandals involving Qi Hao and An Feng, or Huang Xiaoming and Beibi, all providing ordinary people with gossip fodder.

Qi Hao and An Feng, Huang Xiaoming and Beibi might be together now, but they might separate like Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu in the future.

However, the real climax of the event was infidelity.

Under the glamorous surface of the model couple, who would have thought they were hiding secrets unknown to the public?

Yes, this wasn't a so-called peaceful breakup; infidelity occurred during the marriage.

Yao Chen was the first to strike.

She is a top-ranked celebrity on Weibo.

With popular works like "The Legend of Martial Arts" and "Infiltration" receiving widespread acclaim, her status far exceeded that of her newly famous ex-husband.

Moreover, she was among the first celebrities to join Weibo.

Although she wasn't as high-profile as Qi Hao and An Feng, her frequent updates made her widely influential on Weibo.

Previously, she mostly showcased her loving relationship.

She exposed some loving daily life moments.

This time, she made the divorce official by posting on Weibo.

The comments section quickly attracted many so-called "insiders," claiming that the divorce was not simple and was primarily due to the husband's infidelity.

Not only was there a mistress, but also a fourth, fifth, and sixth party.

Insiders explicitly named the mistress as Tang Yifei.

Sources revealed that Ling Xiaosu had an affair with Tang Yifei during the shooting of "Lang Xin Ru Tie."

Ling Xiaosu didn't just play a scumbag in "The Temptation of Going Home," but maintained his scummy reputation in real life.

His role as a heartbreaker left a lasting impression on audiences, and news of his infidelity was an easy target for public backlash.

If you're not cheating, you're doing a disservice to Hong Shixian.

Playing Hong Shixian so convincingly, so naturally, it turns out that art indeed imitates life.

Tang Yifei became the first mistress of 2011.

Public opinion exploded instantly, and Ling Xiaosu was labeled a "scumbag," becoming the target of public attacks.

Under intense public pressure, Ling Xiaosu's emotions gradually spiraled out of control, and when defending Tang Yifei, his words were particularly intense.

This effectively confirmed public speculation that the marriage ended due to Ling Xiaosu's betrayal.

For industry insiders, the power of public relations was evident.

Without behind-the-scenes manipulation, these so-called groundless speculations couldn't possibly have swept the internet so quickly.

At the very least, someone bought the press releases and hype.

As for who that was, it's unclear.

But considering who stands to gain the most, it's clear the instigator wasn't Ling Xiaosu or Tang Yifei.

Ling Xiaosu also resisted.

But his channels for expressing himself were very limited, and even if he managed to voice his side, it would make little impact.

When the headlines are full of your negative stories.

Your rebuttal can only equate to making excuses.

Taking down a "drowned dog" is something everyone is happy to see.

However, by the time Qi Hao returned to the capital after the New Year's break, the situation had reversed.

Did Ling Xiaosu cheat?

Absolutely.

But he denied having multiple infidelities, insisting his true love was only Tang Yifei.

Moreover, he didn't admit that Tang Yifei caused the breakdown of their marriage.

The real reason for the couple's end was actually Yao Chen's multiple affairs.

According to the latest reports, Yao Chen had at least four affairs.

One was in 2003 when she was filming "City Dwellers," where she frequently met in private with Guo Lijing in Shen City.

At that time, although Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu weren't married, they had been in a long-term relationship.

Naturally, it could also be considered infidelity.

Afterwards, Yao Chen confessed to Ling Xiaosu, claiming a demon tempted her, unable to resist the allure of this pleasure, asking Ling Xiaosu to save her.

Both were Christians, members of the church, supposed to help each other.

How to save her?

So, the two registered their marriage in December 2004.

Shortly after marriage, Yao Chen was shooting "Before and After the House," and got involved with Zhou Xiaobin's brother, Zhou Xiaogang.

This multiple-time cheater, Yao Chen even named a ladybug plush toy "Zhou Xiaopiao," and often held it in her arms to savor the memory.

Rumor has it that there's also Sun Honglei.

What truly led to the breakdown of their marriage was her encounter with the talented photographer Cao Yu on the set of "Love Is Splendid."

This was mentioned in Liu Ye's interview.

This guy has always been a bigmouth.

Four affairs!

Yet can still pretend to be the innocent, fragile victim, which is truly outrageous.

Of course, if it were only occasionally mentioned, it wouldn't significantly impact Yao Chen.

After all, public opinion is on her side now.

Although neither side has any conclusive evidence, Ling Xiaosu himself admitted Tang Yifei is his new lover.

Yet, Yao Chen wasn't with any of these suspects.

Not even with the most recent one, Cao Yu.

The real killer blow was that Ling Xiaosu's side hired a professional.

Ambiguous photos and all sorts of so-called "insiders" played the script in various ways.

Yao Chen's side could only concede defeat.

So damn professional and brutal.

Most of these photos were unclear, except one where you could see Yao Chen spent this Spring Festival with Cao Yu.

The background shows a shop's banner saying "2011 last three days clearance sale, only three days, closed after three days."

This is pretty much "solid evidence."

Oh, so you're already with Cao Yu.

And you still claim there's no connection.

This revelation complicates matters even further, renewing public doubt over who is to blame.

Of course, Yao Chen's side wasn't without retaliation.

Ling Xiaosu's scumbag reputation was in the spotlight, his infidelity undoubtedly true.

But what started as one-sided infidelity turned into both sides cheating more than once, with more than one partner.

The original ending should have been a peaceful breakup.

Both playing their own games, knowing well what happened, and after the peaceful breakup, it wouldn't hinder finding new loves.

However, Yao Chen's craving for attention was strong.

If she couldn't shape an independent female persona amid the divorce, her future development would be difficult.

She might just disappear without a trace.

Whether it's Qi Hao and An Feng or Huang Xiaoming and Beibi, they've all demonstrated the enormous power of internet-era traffic.

With traffic, there's endless money and partners to enjoy.

Oh no, I mean men.

So, Yao Chen had to stab her ex-husband in the back at the same time as the divorce.

But she didn't expect her ex-husband wouldn't be a pushover.

They ended up in a back-and-forth struggle.

This hype leaves no winners; both she and her ex-husband are disgraced.

Now the point of contention is who is more disgraced.

"Deng Ge, isn't what we're doing going to lead to our downfall eventually?"

Qi Hao ran into Zhanqi Laiden when he entered the company, wearing sunglasses that made him look like a young Wang Jiawei, followed by a lackey, exuding big brother vibes.

"What do you mean 'will lead to our downfall,' are you planning to take the grad school exam or something?"

Zhanqi Laiden was impatient.

This lackey of his is great in every way, quick thinker, easily adapts to new internet fads and tricks, and is the assistant he's focused on cultivating.

Unfortunately, he's a bit too moral.

If he could abandon his scruples and reinvent himself, his future achievements wouldn't be less than his own.

"What bad things have you done again?"

Qi Hao was helpless; he could somewhat sympathize with Chancellor Cao now.

Cao Cao shouted he'd rather betray the whole world than be betrayed by it.

Then Jia Xu stood up and said, my Lord, I have a plan.

Cao Cao waved his hand to refuse: Wenhe sit down, it's not to that extent yet.

"Didn't do any bad things, just earning some pocket money during the New Year."

Zhanqi Laiden's expression was unchanged.

Yet the lackey behind him lowered his head in shame.

"Chu Rong, you tell it."

Qi Hao asked Zhanqi Laiden's assistant.

Don't just see him as a lackey, the man is actually the Deputy General Manager of the PR department, Deputy Director of Marketing, considered high-level in the company, Qi Hao naturally knows him.

"How about we go inside to talk, walls have ears..."

Chu Rong looked nervous, afraid that if this thing got out, the company would be the one needing PR.

Moments later, Qi Hao realized:

"So, you guys took money from both sides and ruined both employers' reputations."

Provided services to Yao Chen's side.

Then turned around and took on Ling Xiaosu's case too.

What was a still pond is now completely muddied.

A true talent, I tell you.

"Earned quite a bit... I was mainly responsible for this, it was my operation."

Chu Rong had no choice, he couldn't be at peace if he didn't confess.

But he's willing to take all the consequences.

"No, Lao Chu, why do I sense a whiff of a homewrecker's remorse from you, Ling Xiaosu is a confirmed scumbag, and Yao Chen's reputation is ruined, you've finished the dirty work and are now worrying about eventual justice?"

Qi Hao was speechless.

He's not a good guy either; if he was, he wouldn't be hanging around with Zhanqi Laiden.
