You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular
Chapter 178
178: THE 178TH DAY OF BEING POPULAR
Yao Bianliang furrowed her brows as she read the messages. The current public opinion seemed overwhelmingly negative, so how could different voices suddenly speak up for her?
"Sisters, what's going on?" she immediately typed, "Yao Bianliang has done something so excessive, why would anyone still defend her?"
The hater also found it puzzling: "I'm not sure either. All I know is that group of people spread rumors about Lu Shuai sleeping with his fans. They also said that Yao Bianliang beat him up because of this..."
Yao Bianliang: ??
Her eyes widened slightly, and her fingers, initially poised to type, remained suspended in mid-air, motionless for quite some time.
What's going on? Lu Shuai sleeping with his fans? She beat him up because of this?
What a joke! She didn't even know about this!
【HuaEr: This kind of news is obviously nonsense. How could Shuai do such a thing?】
【AnonymousUser: I remember this rumor was debunked already, why is it being brought up again?】
【SmilingFace: Definitely a rumor! If Yao Bianliang really beat up Lu Shuai because of this, I'll apologize to her on the spot. /Smile.jpg/】
【LittleBee: These claims are clearly fake. Some marketing accounts are going to great lengths to whitewash Yao Bianliang.】
【AreYouHatingOnYaoBianliangToday: If Lu Shuai really is such a scumbag, I'll build a shrine for Yao Bianliang on the spot. I'll light three incense sticks every day, praying for her to become famous. /DogHead.jpg/】
Yao Bianliang: "…"
No, they are all my sisters, there's no need to be so vicious.
Yao Bianliang looked at the lively discussions in the group, wanting to say something, but she couldn't find the right words.
"Strange, something's not right here…"
These people thought she was trying to white-wash herself, so they refused to believe it. But Yao Bianliang knew she didn't engage in any such tactics.
After the incident, she immediately gave her team, including Zhou Fei and the others, some time off. At the same time, she instructed Mo Yougan and others not to defend her.
In other words, no one in the entire entertainment industry would help her whitewash her image!
So where did these whitewashing rumors come from?
"Could it be... that Lu Shuai's is the one behind all this?" Yao Bianliang's thoughts raced.
Lu Shuai has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and with his outspoken personality, he must have offended many people and certainly stepped on the toes of others' interests.
Ansheng Entertainment has many competitors, and Lu Shuai is their company's cash cow, making him an easy target for attacks.
Therefore, many stars and companies have enough motivation to release black materials about Lu Shuai, slandering and smearing his image.
"These black materials have already been debunked, so it seems they are not true." Thinking this way, Yao Bianliang regained her confidence.
She clicked on the relevant terms and looked at the comments section, where one side argued that "Yao Bianliang must have other motives for her action," while the other side refuted it, saying, "This is clearly an attempt to smear Lu Shuai."
From the current situation, those supporting Lu Shuai overwhelmingly outnumbered those defending Yao Bianliang.
Seeing this situation, Yao Bianliang finally felt a bit relieved.
She hoped that Lu Shuai would clarify these black materials as soon as possible and continue tarnishing her reputation so that she could become unpopular quickly!
*****
In the hospital, Lu Shuai frowned as he looked at certain comments online, wondering, "What on earth is going on? Who released this information?"
In his opinion, after their long period of "debunking," the heat of this matter should have already subsided.
But now, after arranging for people to send Yao Bianliang to the trending topics, someone directly brought up his past scandal!
First, someone exposed the information, and then marketing accounts followed suit in reposting.
Opening Weibo, he saw several hot serache squeezing into the tail of the entertainment trending topics.
"Lu Shuai sleeps with fans"
Xiao Yuan accuses Lu Shuai.
Lu Shuai's Studio debunks the rumors.
*****
Seeing the heat escalating and the trend of eruption, Lu Shuai couldn't help feeling a bit annoyed.
His manager's expression didn't look good either, "I've told you to restrain yourself. If this matter blows up, neither of us will have it easy."
"How was I supposed to know that Yao Bianliang would bring up this issue?" Lu Shuai impatiently ran his hand through his hair, "This is so damn frustrating! Where are the public relations people? They should have suppressed the heat."
The manager sighed, "We have already started to control the heat. We directly withdrew from the trending topics and issued a relevant statement."
Hearing this, Lu Shuai finally felt a little relieved.
"Yes, let's send a lawyer's letter and have the studio debunk the rumors. Those people won't stir up much trouble."
The last time something similar happened, it was also blown out of proportion, right? But with the company's support, he remained unaffected and stayed in the entertainment industry.
As long as they follow the same tactics, coerce those who leaked the information, spend money to suppress the heat, then there shouldn't be a problem.
"In the end, it's all Yao Bianliang's fault." Thinking of the culprit who caused this mess, Lu Shuai felt a bit itchy.
If it weren't for Yao Bianliang attacking him in public, he wouldn't have used public opinion to pressure her. But he never expected that this incident would lead to him being exposed with black material again and cause more trouble for himself.
This time, he must completely ruin Yao Bianliang's reputation!
Lu Shuai was filled with hatred, but at this moment, he could only temporarily put aside the issue with Yao Bianliang and focus on handling his own matters.
"Is the lawyer's letter ready? I'll post on Weibo right away," Lu Shuai asked his manager.
The manager nodded and shared the lawyer's letter with him, "You can repost the studio's Weibo."
This wasn't the first time Lu Shuai had dealt with such issues, so he had considerable experience. His fingers quickly typed on the keyboard, and he soon wrote a long text.
【Lu Shuai V: Reposting Weibo from Lu Shuai's Studio
I hereby solemnly declare that I have never had any intimate relationship with any fans or underage women! The recent rumors regarding my involvement with fans are all false.
Regarding the lawsuit against the rumor-spreading marketing accounts, it is now being handled by my lawyer.
In this era of information, rumors spread easily. I hope that the majority of netizens can distinguish between truth and falsehood, not believe in rumors, and not spread rumors!】
Below the statement was a photo of the lawyer's letter.
As soon as this Weibo was posted, a flood of fans immediately came to comment.
Lu Shuai's lips curved slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He then left another comment in the comment section.
【Lu Shuai: I am 28 years old and have been single since birth, I have never even been in a relationship. I never expected such rumors to be spread about me... I hope netizens can approach this rationally and not easily believe in rumors!】
There was a knock outside the door, but Lu Shuai didn't pay attention to it. He focused on typing out this message and clicked "send."
After sending the message, he stretched his shoulders and asked, "Who is it?"
There were two seconds of silence outside the door, and no one answered his question.
Lu Shuai furrowed his brows, just as he was wondering, he heard a "bang," and the ward door was pushed open. Several uniformed police officers filed in, standing at different positions to block all possible escape routes.
Police... Why would they come here?
Lu Shuai's face turned pale instantly, his hand trembled, and his phone fell.
His lips trembled, trying to say something, but he found it difficult to produce any sound.
"Mr. Lu Shuai, right? You are being arrested for suspicion of rape."
The leading police officer looked at Lu Shuai and said coldly, "Now, come with us."
