Because Cheng Qi’s online popularity was insane, the rumor about him and Shi Guang remained in the hot searches for a long time.
Mo Yanzhi moved his phone in front of Chu Mubei with a confused expression on his face. Taking it over, Chu Mubei scrolled through Weibo while spitting out, “What a bunch of retards! These guys really don’t care to verify the authenticity of a piece of news before publishing it at all.”
Mo Yanzhi agreed, “All they want is the hype and traffic…”
Chu Mubei looked at the discussions. “Aiyoh, this person… is really scolding out so harshly. All these braindead fans of Cheng Qi! Does she think that Cheng Qi will go and f*ck her just because she’s scolding Shi Guang?”
Mo Yanzhi coughed out, “Holy sh*t! That’s so savage of you! There are so many people online who are scolding for a moment of joy, it’s not as though you can go and bother about all of them!”
“Yeah, forget about the small fries. When the matter was first revealed, things were still fine as people were just gossiping about it together. But, the way things are going now, I feel as though someone’s purposely smearing Little Sister Shi Guang from the back. I suppose the owner of this company of fake accounts is going to be out of a job soon?” As Chu Mubei said that, he scoffed out coldly.
Mo Yanzhi shrugged his shoulders. “Who knows!”
Chu Mubei replied exaggeratedly, “Don’t you think they’re going to be killed by Old Lu directly?”
Mo Yanzhi rolled his eyes. “Old Lu is a young man with an upright image. He isn’t some mafia or anything.”
“Oh? But his wife is getting spat on so badly. How else is he going to vent his anger without killing the person straight?”
“You can go and try killing one of them then…”
“Fufufu, I’m a law-abiding citizen.”
“And who said our Old Lu isn’t one as well?”
As the two of them were chatting, the door of the room opened. Looking at one another, they greeted out, “Old Lu’s here!”
Chu Mubei headed up first. “Your Little Sister Shi Guang has been spat on so terribly by all these people! When are you preparing to strike?”
Lu Yanchen was cold and aloof. “Why must I strike? She should settle troubles that she caused herself.”
Chu Mubei: “…”
Wowsie? Sooooo magnanimous? He refused to believe that.
However, even though Chu Mubei did not believe, Mo Yanzhi did. Indeed, this was Old Lu! Wasn’t it just another woman? Nothing much!
But, would things really be as easy-going as the way their Lu Yanchen’s attitude was?
Fufu…
As for Shi Guang who was at home looking at the rumors, she felt really unsettled. After all, she had just agreed to get married with Lu Yanchen, and right away, a rumor as such exploded out. But she really was innocent!
That day, she had merely exchanged a couple of sentences with Cheng Qi! Who knew that things would have ended up as such? The internet was practically making things sound as if she was getting married with Cheng Qi.
She wanted to give Lu Yanchen a call to explain things, but his call came first. His voice was cold, without any bit of warmth. “What did we talk about before? You’re not to get involved with other men.”
She explained immediately, “That’s all nonsense by the reporters! I’m caught at a loss as well!” Her pitiful voice sounded as though she was almost going to cry out now.
Lu Yanchen went silent for a moment before replying with a slightly better tone, “I’ll help you settle this.”
Shi Guang rejected his help. “It’s fine. There was meant to be nothing from the start. I’ll go discuss with that Cheng Qi about how to clarify this.”
Lu Yanchen agreed to it. However, he had a demand. “Be it me who settles this or you’re the one settling it, you have to clarify when you publish your post on Weibo that you already have a fiancé, and that you’re about to get married soon.”
Shi Guang pouted her lips. “Oh.”
After hanging the call, she contacted Cheng Qi, wanting to clarify things together with him. However, he did not seem all that willing.
He did not reply, but instead, put his phone on loudspeaker mode. His manager was the one who spoke, “Why do you want to clarify things? Just let them develop with this rumor! Do you know how much hype this can bring you?”
