Previously, because of her scandal with Su Ze, she had gained a lot of followers.
About 300,000.
But now, she saw that her Weibo followers had risen to a million!
It hadn’t even been three hours since her scandal with Tu Yilei broke out.
She actually gained more than 700,000 followers.
This increase was too shocking.
She finally understood why those female artistes liked to ride on Tu Yilei’s popularity.
Making use of his popularity to gain more fans was much faster than relying on their own works.
But this wave of popularity wasn’t what Qiao Mianmian wanted.
How could she accept it?
She saw that her fanbase was still increasing at an alarming rate.
It was probably because of Tu Yilei’s post that her popularity rose again.
Just as Qiao Mianmian was in a daze, her follower count increased by 10,000.
She was speechless.
She felt a mix of emotions as she looked at the rising number.
Most of these fans were probably haters.
It was better not to increase it.
She didn’t want the comment section to be filled with people scolding her every time she posted something.
She couldn’t take it.
She didn’t want to become a popular artiste at all.
After standing by the window for a few minutes, she thought of the content she was going to post. She carefully edited each word and sent it.
Qiao Mianmian V: [Regarding that rumor, since Senior Tu has already explained the whole situation, I won’t repeat it. I only have one thing to say: It’s all made up of nothing. In my eyes, Senior Tu is just a senior worthy of my respect and learning. Also, thank you for your kindness, Senior Tu. You’re really a very good senior. I’m ungrateful as a junior.]
Qiao Mianmian logged out of Weibo immediately after posting it.

On the other side.
Tu Yilei scrolled through Qiao Mianmian’s Weibo post and read it word by word. He looked down and was in a daze for a while. After some thought, he picked up his cell phone and replied to her comment section.
Tu Yilei V: [You’re welcome.]
His reply was immediately drowned out in the comments section.
But very quickly, the netizens caught him again.
When someone realized that the account that replied was the original and not an imitation account, they went wild. “Damn, it’s actually Tu Yilei himself. I believe he’s really interested in Qiao Mianmian now.”
Just as Tu Yilei’s reply was trending, Michael pushed open the door and stormed towards him.
“What’s wrong with you?” Michael was so angry that he didn’t even bother calling him Little Tu anymore. He directly said, “Tu Yilei, is there something wrong with your brain? What did I tell you? I said that the company would settle this for you. Why did you post on Weibo on your own accord?
“Where did you learn this from?
“Are you crazy? Ah! Tell me, what are you trying to do!
“You want the whole world to know that you’re interested in Qiao Mianmian?!”
Tu Yilei knew that he would react this way. When he looked at him, his eyes were calm. “If I didn’t say anything, the fans would continue looking for her. Michael, she’s the person I like. I can’t let her be hurt.
“If my fans hurt her, then I’m the culprit.”
