Chapter 698 Another Scandal
Her voice sounded somewhat timid.
The questions asked were unusually bold.
Lu Wantang slightly raised her eyes and saw a somewhat familiar face.
The other person was also a student majoring in directing.
They often attend classes in the same classroom.
No wonder I recognized her so quickly.
Before Lu Wantang could even speak, the 'protector' beside her had already lost his temper.
"Who are you talking about?"
"Who's with Chu Kong?"
"Fabricating facts out of thin air is spreading rumors, do you know that?"
Lu Wanxing became increasingly angry as she spoke, wishing she could take off her mask and have a thorough "debate".
The person asking the question was so frightened that they took several steps back.
Lu Wantang stepped forward, "Excuse me, Li, my brother is just a very direct person. He didn't mean to threaten you..."
"No, no, no." The man quickly waved his hand. "It was my fault. I shouldn't have asked such a question right away... Actually, I just saw the headline on Weibo and my mind was a little blank. I just blurted out that sentence."
After saying that, he nodded again: "I know now, it's all rumors online."
Lu Wantang smiled slightly: "It's alright, I should thank you for reminding me."
She stepped aside, allowing the person who had asked the question to walk into the office.
Lu Wanxing had already taken out her phone and opened Weibo.
He never expected that instead of seeing Chu Kong, he would see their scandal trending on social media!
"Perhaps Chu Kong deliberately leaked this information."
In a fit of rage, Lu Wanxing now regarded Chu Kong as her number one enemy.
Lu Wantang countered, "You've been friends with him for so long, do you really think he's that kind of person?"
Lu Wanxing was momentarily speechless... If Chu Kong were really that kind of person, wouldn't he have stopped playing with people a long time ago?
but--
“How can you lump these together?” Lu Wanxing said confidently. “Under normal circumstances, he might be a person of good character, but special circumstances are another matter. Maybe you are that special case!”
Lu Wantang: "..."
She couldn't be bothered to listen to Lu Wanxing's outrageous speculations.
Before Toutiao (a Chinese news aggregator) completely stirs up trouble on campus, it's best to get on the bus and head back to the company as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, even when she quickened her pace, Lu Wanxing didn't stop her 'babbling'.
"I just clicked on that topic and saw that the cause of the scandal seems to be yesterday's concert."
"If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to be a guest performer at that concert!"
"What does Chu Kong mean by this? Is he doing it on purpose?"
"It seems like the team that released this exposé is a well-known paparazzi team in the industry... Sister, aren't you going to clarify this immediately? You might as well just pin all the blame on Chu Kong!"
"If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have gotten involved in rumors just because you went to a concert... Sis, didn't you say you didn't like these things?"
……
Lu Wanxing's rambling completely changed Lu Wantang's preconceived notions about him.
As soon as she got into the car, Lu Wantang couldn't wait to close the door.
The speed was so fast that Lu Wanxing, who was only two steps away, was left outside the car.
The latter quickly knocked on the car window and was saying something.
Judging from his lip movements, he was telling Lu Wantang to open the car door.
Lu Wantang found it both amusing and speechless.
In the end, to avoid being caught up by onlookers, he had no choice but to open the car door.
Before Lu Wanxing could speak again, she held out her palm: "Shut up."
"I don't want to listen to your rambling right now. I'll check the news online myself."
As he spoke, he took Lu Wanxing's phone, which was still displaying the Weibo trending topics list.
The top trending topic was the one that excited Lu Wanxing the most.
—Chu Kong & Zi Gui's relationship exposed!
The topic was followed by a small "hot" word.
It is clear that this is a topic that has gained tremendous popularity in the shortest amount of time.
Clicking into it reveals a long article published by a media studio.
The text describes in detail the unusual behavior of Chu Kong when he sang "Mercury", and also mentions Lu Wanxing.
Later, through various details, it was deduced that the person sitting in the very center of the front row was Lu Wantang herself.
First, Lu Wanxing came out from backstage and sat next to me. Their behavior wasn't exactly 'intimate,' but they were probably close friends or family. It's most likely that Lu Wanxing was Lu Wantang's older sister.
Secondly, Lu Wantang had previously held up a light board with Lu Wanxing's name on it.
In addition to textual descriptions and inferences, the article also includes many photos taken at the concert as evidence.
A high-definition video was later added.
Sometimes it's hard to fool others with your eyes.
Especially when looking at someone you like.
Once the high-definition video was released, countless people who had previously doubted the veracity of the rumors switched sides.
[I don't want to believe it, but Chu Kong's eyes were so full of affection. As for whether he was looking at Zi Gui, I don't know.]
Why doesn't anyone think Chu Kong is looking at Lu Wanxing...?
[Upstairs, what kind of time is this to be trying to be clever? If Chu Kong was looking at Lu Wanxing, there would have been signs of it ages ago. The media has photographed them before.]
[What if that person sitting there isn't Zigui? Maybe it's her girlfriend from outside the entertainment industry or something.]
[If she really is a girlfriend outside the entertainment industry, why is Lu Wanxing sitting next to her? Don't tell me about the three of them doing *that*.]
[I think the analysis is very accurate. The most likely candidate is Teacher Zigui. Speaking of which, since it's already on the front page, wouldn't they just officially announce it?]
[If it's true, that would be a huge scandal, but these two aren't that far apart in age, and they're not particularly incompatible, so what's wrong with them dating?]
Celebrity romances are never that simple.
……
The onlookers either analyzed how likely it was that the person sitting there was Zigui, or simply enjoyed the spectacle.
Chu Kong's fans are different.
As a top star in Dongzhou, and one with an extremely 'idol-like' appearance, Chu Kong is destined to have at least half of his fans as 'girlfriend fans'.
These fans simply cannot accept him dating.
Almost as soon as the scandal broke, their presence appeared in Zigui's Weibo comment section.
Many people pay attention to Zigui, most of whom are drawn to her because of her identity as a lyricist and composer.
The personal attacks by Chu Kong's fans have involved various aspects, including Zi Gui's works.
Therefore, a conflict broke out between the two sides instantly.
Lu Wantang pressed her temples and sent a message to Chang Yun.
They quickly responded with updates on the situation.
Chu Yue is already discussing solutions with the company's public relations team.
The implication was that since Chu Kong had started this whole thing, they could take full responsibility.
"What are the ways to take responsibility?" Lu Wanxing couldn't help but ask.
"To deny your and my identities, first separate us from each other."
Since neither the siblings were photographed clearly, we can simply say that the media outlet fabricated the facts.
"That puts all the pressure on Chu Kong." Lu Wanxing nodded. "What's he going to do? Tell him he has someone he likes?"
"Maybe," Lu Wantang said uncertainly.
In fact, she felt the matter was easy to resolve.
Why do Chang Yun and Chu Yue all look like they're facing a formidable enemy?
