Chapter 149: 149 It’s not that I got you into trouble, it’s your turn now.
But did this wave of gossip reach its grand finale?
Although Chen Beini managed to restore her reputation, warm up to ordinary folks, disband the Combat Group, and reconcile with the Alliance Fans all in just one morning, and it seemed like the ending was within sight, Shi Lan had no intention of letting this matter come to a complete close. She said she couldn’t let Gu Chengyu’s fans remain nameless and unacknowledged.
After the morning’s shoot ended, Gu Chengyu likely received the news too. As he finished his scenes, he approached Chen Beini with a bit of a ruffian tone and a light laugh, “Without even notifying the team, who gave you such guts? Chen Beini, doing PR is fine, but don’t drag me into it. It seems you’re getting more and more self-indulgent, daring to do anything.”
Chen Beini was about to explode after hearing Gu Chengyu’s words. Just then, Shi Lan came to her side and asked, “Lunch?”
“Let’s go,” Chen Beini said as if she had been reminded of something and instantly turned her head, not giving the scumbag another glance.
However, at that moment, Shi Lan didn’t move to leave. Instead, she looked up at Gu Chengyu and said, “It’s not about dragging you down; it’s your turn now.”
After that, Shi Lan took Chen Beini with her and left the set to go back to the hotel for lunch.
On the way back to the hotel, Shi Lan took out her phone, logged into her alt account, and posted a message.
@TurnBlackMyselfAnLan: “We’ve moved on from Chen Beini’s incident, but there are more than just Combat Fans among those who cyberbullied my fans. Some have played the white lotus for so long, they’ve forgotten their misdeeds. But no worries, I will help you recall them slowly.”
The melon-eating crowd had thought the matter had come to an end since Chen Beini had already done what needed to be done.
But Shi Lan’s Weibo post stirred up a new controversy.

People then realized that among those involved in cyberbullying An Lan, there was still a chief culprit, and a group more cunning and covert than the Combat Fans—the venomous solo stans.
@KumamonBear: “An Lan is referring to Gu Chengyu’s fans, right? These white lotuses really played dead from the start to the finish.”
@DidYouShipCPtoday: “After biting Chen Beini, now biting Gu Chengyu, An Lan must be toxic right?”
@StarbucksDidntOpenToday: “It has nothing to do with our brother. An Lan, after all the years you’ve liked our brother, the rule in the fandom is not to talk smack after you unstan.”
Suddenly, the center of the cyberbullying storm started shifting towards Gu Chengyu and his fans.
Previously, the Alliance Fans came out to fight for justice; now, Shi Lan’s provocation was personal.
Gu Chengyu had not anticipated Shi Lan would put him in such an awkward position and openly provoke him. He was so angry he almost smashed his phone because he couldn’t understand—had An Lan gone mad? Knowing full well it was like battling rocks with eggs, she insisted on butting heads. Moreover, she used to listen to him, but ever since waking up from the hospital, she had become a different person, completely unreasonable.
What was even more incredible was that he found himself desperately wanting such an An Lan.
It was as if suddenly discovering this side of An Lan, all the women he had previously interacted with paled in comparison.
“Chengyu, tomorrow is Director Tang’s birthday. Why don’t you let Director Tang help mediate your relationship with them? There’s no deep hatred worthy of such waste. Besides, you’re still eager to pull resources for An Lan,” suggested Gu Chengyu’s assistant.
“I’ll talk to Director Tang in a bit,” Gu Chengyu nodded in agreement.
After hearing Gu Chengyu’s plea, Director Tang reluctantly agreed to set up the gathering, but as for everything else, he refused to get involved.
Gu Chengyu thought, at tomorrow night’s occasion, having a little drink with An Lan and finding an opportunity to clear the air should not be a big problem.
But Shi Lan would prove to him with her actions that the problem was huge!
