Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Entertainment Circle’s Best Actress VS Lucky Newcomer (Part 27)
Although the post was quickly deleted by Star Entertainment, it still sparked a great deal of backlash.
Many fans flocked to Ruan Keyi’s Weibo to hurl insults, claiming they had been emotionally cheated and so on.
Gu Shengyin browsed through the comments, certain that there were paid trolls mixed in, but there were undoubtedly also a lot of genuine fans.
These people, who had said they would love you for a lifetime yesterday, turned against you today, calling you a slut.
Gu Shengyin thought to herself, if the real Ruan Keyi saw these words, how heartbroken she would be.
Chen Rong had come early to keep her company. Seeing her sitting there lost in thought, Chen Rong worried she might be affected emotionally and comforted her, “Don’t overthink it. The PR team at the company is going all out to handle this matter.”
As she spoke, her voice turned colder, “There must be someone scheming against you behind the scenes. If I find out who it is, they better be ready to face the wrath of Star Entertainment.”
Star Entertainment acted swiftly.
They issued a statement declaring that the previous post’s allegations about Ruan Keyi’s rumors in the fashion industry and her private life were entirely baseless, and that the so-called “photos” were all products of Photoshop.
Furthermore, they solemnly stated that the original poster of the thread had infringed upon the reputation rights of an employee of Star Entertainment and that they would file a legal notice with the court.
However, the focal point of public interest was not addressed.
After Ruan Keyi posted a photo interlocking fingers with her lover, she was photographed in an intimate moment with Zhou Chuansheng.
Star Entertainment denied it, yet Zhou Chuansheng had yet to make a statement.
Star Entertainment’s PR contacted Zhou Chuansheng, but he refused to clarify the matter.
“Not having gone through this incident, who would have figured out Zhou Chuansheng is such a person!” Chen Rong said through clenched teeth, “I thought he was a decent person before, and now he won’t even help with this little matter!”
Gu Shengyin was clearly more composed than her, having long since had a good understanding of what kind of person Zhou Chuansheng actually was.
At that moment, Gu Shengyin received a call from Ludwig, “Keyi, such a big thing has happened and you didn’t tell me?”
Gu Shengyin replied with a smile, “You are abroad, what could you do even if I told you?”
Ludwig, hearing her calm voice and that she seemed unaffected by the public opinion, was able to relax, “Regardless, you have suffered such grievances and I am not by your side, that doesn’t make me a qualified boyfriend.”
Gu Shengyin had a light laugh and exchanged a few words with him. Since he seemed to be busy, she hung up the phone.
“Was that Ludwig?” Chen Rong asked.
Originally a bit concerned, Chen Rong saw Gu Shengyin’s smile and knew that Ludwig hadn’t distanced himself from her because of the incident, and her admiration for her idol only grew.
Now that’s a real man!
But what she didn’t know was that her idol was about to do something even more manly.
As the whole entertainment industry was in uproar, with some hostile fans even declaring that Ruan Keyi should be rolled out of the industry, a statement shocked the entire Z country’s entertainment scene.
“I am Ludwig Gardner, Keyi’s boyfriend. No, soon, I will be her husband. In response to the current online opinion, my answer is that my legal team has drafted a notice. All media that have spread malicious slander about my lover, I expect you to delete the related false rumors within twenty-four hours. Otherwise, I will see you in court. Keyi and I are very much in love, and we are preparing to get married. I have absolute confidence that my lover loves only me. I hope everyone will refrain from discussing this matter further. Thank you.”
