Originally, Chen Chunyao's news was eye - catching enough.
Now, with the "rich - family gossip" about Qi Ye, several trending topics on the internet were booming one after another.
To be fair, when Chen Chunyao saw the trending topics, she was actually happy.
She had planned to hire someone to take photos of herself to prove that she was in good condition and to slap the faces of those who were waiting to see her fall into the abyss.
However, now that Qi Ye was involved, she felt a mix of joy and fear.
All in all, fear outweighed joy.
Qi Ye was not an easy - going person. After seeing the news, he might blame everything on her, thinking that she was behind it.
So she immediately came to Qi Ye to cry and complain, and she also called Xu Tingyu along to prove her innocence.
The others in the room had also read the news and comments. Xu Tingyu didn't feel much, but she looked at Qi Ye's expression.
Qi Ye's face was very gloomy.
It seemed that being on the news with someone like Chen Chunyao was a great humiliation to him.
In front of Xu Tingyu, he didn't want to lose his temper at Chen Chunyao directly, so he vented his anger on Zhang Wan instead.
"What are the people in the public - relations department doing? If you don't want to work, just get out."
He rarely swore directly.
Especially in front of Xu Tingyu, he had never been so irritable and angry.
Maybe because yesterday's matters hadn't been settled yet, and now this rumor had emerged, which made him extremely annoyed.
Zhang Wan had worked with him for many years and naturally knew that he was extremely angry at the moment. She immediately said, "I'll contact them right away to get it removed."
Xu Tingyu was a bit surprised by Qi Ye's attitude. Hearing that they were going to remove the trending topics, she couldn't help but say, "I think it's better to guide than to block."
The discussion was in full swing now. Suddenly removing the trending topics would only make people think that there was really something wrong.
"To be honest, Yaoyao is my friend. It shouldn't be a problem to explain it clearly, right?"
Since she was actually there at that time, wasn't it easy to explain?
Why was Qi Ye's first reaction to remove the trending topics?
As soon as she spoke, Qi Ye's emotions calmed down a bit.
He took a deep breath and reached out his hand to Xu Tingyu. "Tingyu, I don't want you to get involved. These people can be very mean with their words."
More importantly, these people were so good at digging. What if they dug out something he didn't want Xu Tingyu to know?
Xu Tingyu smiled. "It's okay. The innocent have nothing to fear. Why should we be afraid of what people say if we haven't done anything wrong?"
As soon as she said this, the other three people's expressions became a bit complicated.
She was really open - minded and didn't know that they actually felt guilty.
Especially Chen Chunyao, who sneered in her heart.
The innocent have nothing to fear?
But she wasn't innocent.
She just liked Qi Ye.
Qi Ye grabbed her hand, looked at her deeply, and said, "Okay, we'll do it your way."
Zhang Wan immediately contacted the public - relations department and uploaded photos and various pieces of evidence.
The rumor - refuting statement came out very quickly.
It roughly said that Qi Ye originally didn't plan to pay attention to these groundless news, but because his fiancée was pregnant, he didn't want her to be in a bad mood.
During this vacation, Chen Chunyao did come along, but Xu Tingyu was also there.
They were close friends for many years, like sisters. It was very normal to go on vacation with family.
As for her crazy shopping and using Qi Ye's supplementary card, in fact, the card belonged to Xu Tingyu. They went shopping together. It was just that some ill - intentioned people deliberately took photos of Chen Chunyao alone.
In short, this was a false news deliberately fabricated to attract attention without any bottom line.
Qi Ye would hold the reporters accountable and hoped that everyone would stop spreading rumors.
Along with the statement, there were also photos of them going out to sea together.
Soon, someone confirmed that Xu Tingyu was indeed there.
Moreover, Qi Ye was not feeling well and rarely left the hotel. It was Xu Tingyu and Chen Chunyao who went out to play.
The on - looking netizens had another round of discussions.
"Alas, I thought I was going to get some big gossip. It turned out to be a misunderstanding. I've been jumping around in the gossip field for nothing."
"The rumor - refuting speed is so fast. Look, this is the right way to refute rumors."
"Nowadays, marketing accounts will do anything for traffic. They turned a trip with good sisters into such a story. It's really disgusting."
"So, when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. Isn't this online violence? Do they really want to force Chen Chunyao to death?"
"Can someone please tell me what the rich - family gossip is? Am I on a 2G network? What's this about the younger - brother's wife?"
"Those who don't know this, go and catch up on it quickly. It's a very exciting piece of gossip. You'll surely be satisfied."
...
After this statement came out, the focus shifted to the true or false arranged marriage of the Qi family.
Since Xu Tingyu's full - face photo was released this time, all the comments below were praises.
"My goodness, no wonder Young Master Qi was willing to bear the blame to be with her. She's really beautiful, and it's such a pure kind of beauty."
"Sure enough, the rich eat well. Not only is she good - looking, but during the peak of her dancing career, no one could match her."
"Speaking of which, I remember that she participated in a dance variety show one year but withdrew midway. No one said anything at first, but later a staff member revealed that it was her."
"I have another piece of news. The dance double for the female lead in that movie directed by Director Pan, which won the Golden Director Award, was her."
"What? I remember that movie had excellent reviews. The female characters were very successfully portrayed. One of the female lead's highlight scenes was related to dance."
"Yes, at that time, Director Pan invited Miss Xu through Young Master Qi's connection. I heard from a friend in the crew that when Director Pan first saw Miss Xu, he was amazed."
"I also remember that at that time, General Manager Qi was having a lot of rumors with Xie Yu. We thought Miss Xu was heart - broken, but it turned out she was doing well."
"Looking at it this way, General Manager Qi has a bad taste. Miss Xu is much more outstanding than Xie Yu."
"Is it possible that Miss Xu didn't take a fancy to General Manager Qi? After all, Young Master Qi is very handsome, and they're childhood sweethearts."
"Can you please respect the deceased? Is it really okay to talk about Xie Yu like this?"
Xu Tingyu looked at these comments and felt that they were very far away from her.
Had she participated in a variety show and been a double?
She couldn't remember.
Amid all these discussions, someone released another set of photos.
"Actually, General Manager Qi is also on vacation with his new girlfriend in the same place. It can be said that the whole family is out."
"Now I believe that it was really a fake marriage back then. Otherwise, how could they get along so well?"
The photos showed Qi Shifeng and Du Jiran having dinner in the hotel restaurant.
"I can testify that General Manager Qi is indeed here. Just now, he and his new girlfriend went into their room together."
"I saw their whole family together when I was having a meal before. Although General Manager Qi looked angry, he was still incredibly handsome."
The witness even specially released a secretly - taken photo of Qi Shifeng and Du Jiran entering the room together.
