Chapter 84: 084 Do I look like I care about your crap?
Although the National Couple had a dispute, fortunately, all these issues arose after Shi Lan had left.
But Chen Beini was not one to endure in silence, especially when she saw Gu Chengyu leaving without looking back, which left her furious and prompted her to take out her phone to post on Weibo.
@Chen Beini: “It seems some things are destined not to be kept.”
By posting such a thing, it was bound to lead to speculation about a love fallout with Gu Chengyu, and with Shi Lan present on the set, netizens would definitely end up attacking Shi Lan, ideally digging out her repeated leaves of absence to berate the wench to death.
Just as Chen Beini expected, her Weibo quickly gathered fans, who started asking:
“Is the little green tea causing trouble again? No, please, they’re my favorite couple!”
“I knew that little green tea must be up to no good on set, you guys lock down the Gucci couple, don’t break up.”
“Please don’t, our whole family is following your couple, you must stay together, I beg you!”
“Is that green tea, An Lan, troubling brother again, isn’t she?”
By the time Chen Beini entered the set, Gu Chengyu looked gloomy with his phone in hand, and if it wasn’t for their careers being intertwined, he would have wished to break up with Chen Beini right there and then.
Chen Beini felt her revenge had succeeded and went on to delete her Weibo post, in a vain attempt to cover things up, but this was akin to pouring oil on the fire.
At that moment, Gu Chengyu put down his phone, walked over to Chen Beini, and said, “I am exhausted every day, Chen Beini, I think I need to reconsider our relationship.”
“Reconsider our relationship, you just want An Lan!” Chen Beini scoffed, “A few days ago, I was trampled down like that, you saw it with your own eyes, but did you care about me? But now An Lan gets scolded a bit, and you feel sorry for her?”
“Yes, I feel sorry for her, are you happy now?”
With that, Gu Chengyu walked away from Chen Beini.
Chen Beini was left with tears streaming down her face, her eyes red with anger. Their argument was witnessed by many crew members on set, including Director Tang.
Director Tang stood in front of the camera, sneering coldly, feeling even more that these two were always making a scene and would eventually self-destruct.
As a result, Director Tang made a call to Yan Shixiu, this National Couple was really too much to handle.
While what they did in private was none of Director Tang’s business, he feared that if they kept it up, they might blow up the shooting schedule and cause disruptions.
Chen Beini, unwilling to let things go and seemed to want to make more trouble, so Director Tang gave Yan Shixiu a heads-up, preparing to suppress Chen Beini’s edge a bit.
At that moment, Yan Shixiu was watching the trending topic of Chen Beini deleting her Weibo post, and upon clicking into it, found the trending square plastered with Chen fans and couple fans flinging personal attacks and curses at Shi Lan, with the occasional defense from Shi Lan’s fans quickly drowning in the tide of traffic.
An Lan’s previous fan base was too poor, so she had forced Shi Lan to put up a barrier between herself and her fans.
Yan understood that suppressing trending topics wouldn’t help Shi Lan, but retaliation could help her regain fans.
So, he contacted the young lady on WeChat.
Shi Lan: “I’ll handle it.”
For some reason, Shi Lan seemed to understand Yan Shixiu’s question mark at a glance.
Yan Shixiu didn’t reply further, but quietly waited for Shi Lan’s counterattack.
A few minutes later, under Tang Ze’s Weibo, a video was posted—it was the one Sun Ling had recorded that morning, showing Shi Lan coolly and handsomely bypassing the National Couple, treating them as if invisible.
Sun Ling had filmed this solely for the thrill, never expecting it to be useful so soon, but even without this clip, his phone was full of other videos of them at the set where Shi Lan never bothered with those two, alright?
@Tang Ze: “Do I look like someone who cares about your nonsense?”
Yan was thoroughly impressed by Miss Shi’s cool and fierce walking posture, and promptly instructed his assistant to enter and order, “This video, tell every marketing account cooperating with Huahai to post it ten times in different styles.”
Shall we also stamp it on the foreheads of Gu Chengyu and Chen Beini?
