Chapter 242: Personal Feud, Inconvenient to Tell
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The old lady’s heart ached for her granddaughter. “Ok, we will definitely seek justice for you.”
“Granny, don’t you blindly join them and create trouble. Xiao Yun doesn’t even understand this matter clearly,” Lu Mengxi said. “Your scandals got exposed overnight, and Shen Qianshu doesn’t have the ability to do that. We spent so much money but still can’t bring down the news about you. This is also not something Shen Qianshu can control. Do you understand? Gu Xie attacking Jianming might be because they have personal feuds. This is also not someone Shen Qianshu can get in touch with.”
She also did not like Shen Qianshu, but not to the extent of losing her sanity.
This matter was clearly not done by Shen Qianshu.
She was just a grassroots appraiser and did not have such connections.
Being able to establish themselves in City A, the Lu Family was also not foolish. Lu Biao was also very attentive. All of Lu Mengxi’s words made sense, but Lu Mengyun firmly insisted that Shen Qianshu did it. Lu Biao said, “Don’t cause mischief. We will investigate this matter clearly. If it is really her, Daddy will not let her off.”
The old man had been listening to their conversation. His heart ached for his granddaughter, but he also knew that this matter was not simple. It looked more like Gu Xie who did it.
“You mean Gu Xie?”
Lu Mengxi nodded and said, “Yes, this looks like Gu Xie’s brush pen. If not, why would Gu Xie, who never reveals his face, publicly rage at Jianming? In addition to this, Xiao Yun’s fans acted recklessly. He must have gotten angry.”
“I… have never offended Gu Xie,” Lu Mengyun said.
Ye Feifei sneered and said, “Xiao Yun, stop being stubborn. A few years ago, you were crazily infatuated by him. You gave him a car, jewelry, and even a mansion, but he gave them all back to you untouched. You had the chance to star in his movie as a small role, but you actually publicized to the whole world that Gu Xie was pursuing you. You dare to say that you never offended him before?”
Once her words landed, many faces in the Lu Family darkened. They spoiled Lu Mengyun too much, causing her to be the arrogant and conceited person she was today.
“He failed to appreciate my kindness. How is this considered offending him?” Lu Mengyun said plausibly. Her heart was filled with hatred. Once she thought of her bald head, she broke down in tears loudly, and the elders hurried to appease her again.
She was determined that it was Shen Qianshu and Lin Xiaojuan’s doing.
Gu Xie was godlike and superior. Why would a man so godlike bully her?
Shen Qianshu was immensely happy the whole afternoon. The discussions on the Internet were continuously setting off, slowly diverting away from Lin Xiaojuan. The main issue of this matter did not concern her but Gu Xie. When Gu Xie was having a live broadcast, the host asked nosily why he wrote such a post on Weibo and asked if it was because there was gossip.
Gu Xie said, “Personal feud, inconvenient to tell.”
This sentence caused the fans of Yan Jianming and Lu Mengyun to be sure of their target of hate. They also quickly formed a united front, and all hated Gu Xie. A small portion of Gu Xie’s fans left him, becoming anti-fans instead. Yan Jianming and Lu Mengyun kept acting like they were victims, pressing on when there was no truth. After receiving all the hate by himself, Gu Xie managed to get a huge amount of support.
It was all Gu Xie making use of his high qualifications and vast connections, throwing his weight around.
Right at that moment, the movie <<Drunk Autumn Breeze>> issued an official statement, congratulating Gu Xie on joining <<Drunk Autumn Breeze>> and at the same time, announcing that they were searching for another male lead. The first confirmed male lead of <<Drunk Autumn Breeze>> was Yan Jianming. Although there was no official announcement, Yan Jianming’s management team and supporters all knew of this news. They had long published their own advertisements and were excited for their idol to act in Director Leng’s movie.
After the official announcement was released, the fans were furious again.
