Ye Cixingâs comments were like a stone crashing into the tranquillity of the early morning, sending ripples across the lake.
It was like a small stone that disrupted the entire ocean.
Lu Yangâs gaze hardened. âWhat happened?â
Ye Cixing replied, âYour brother has been caught up in a scandal!â Lu Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief and said firmly, âItâs fake.â
âI believe itâs fake too, but how should we handle this wave of public opinion? Ye Cixing questioned, âShould we control the narrative, release a statement, send a lawyerâs letter, and prove his innocence?â
âLet me see the current situation first.â
Lu Yang opened the app and immediately saw the top trending topic: Lu Mingyu feeds contraceptive pills to a certain woman on the street.
The topic was not only trending, but it had also exploded.
The man and woman in the videos and photos were somewhat blurry, but Lu Yang could immediately recognize her brother, Lu Mingyu, wearing sunglasses. As for the girl, due to video editing, she was mostly unrecognizable, appearing only as a young girl.
âLu Mingyu was seen arguing with a woman on the street. Yangyang, do you know who that woman is?â Ye Cixing curiously asked.
âYou know her,â Lu Yang replied.
âWho?â Ye Cixing asked.
âSheâs Pei Yiwu,â Lu Yang answered.
Although the person was not clear in the footage, based on the timing, it was likely that Lu Mingyu was with Pei Yiwu at that time.
Ye Cixing was surprised.
As Lu Yang scrolled down, she saw a long-lost name and paused on the page for two seconds before clicking on it.
Three Big Questions from Wen Jianâs Anonymous Account.
@GossipBooko?VenJian: If you donât believe the melon, what do you believe? Do you believe Wen Jian?
@GossipBooko?VenJian: Ribbit, ribbit. Why wonât the praising frog do and insists on being a toad?
@GossipBooko?VenJian: Those who break up my couple ship, no matter how far they are, they will be punished! Iâm holding a 40-meter-long sword!
Netizens gathered to watch.
âDoes Wen Jian indirectly admit that Lu Mingyu made the girl take con traceptive pills?â
âWen Jian and Lu Mingyuâs CP not only became a reality, but they also involved the grudge of breaking up! Grabbing a seat to watch the 40 -meter-long sword swing towards the scumbag!â
âHugging my pitiful Wen Jian. Wen Jian isnât bitter, but her fate is. I feel sad.â
Lu Yang narrowed her eyes and her throat suddenly felt dry. Her voice became hoarse as she said, âCixing, Iâll handle this matter.â
If they were to directly release a statement to clarify, netizens would only consider it a perfunctory and false declaration from the studio, not worthy of trust.
Controlling public opinion would also lack persuasive power.
Moreover, both options would only bring temporary calmness and wouldnât have a lasting effect.
If Lu Mingyu wanted to have a stable career in the entertainment industry and achieve a qualitative leap, he could only rely on his work, increasing his influence and appeal.
Strength was the most unbreakable confidence.
Ye Cixing hesitated for a moment and said, âOkay, contact me anytime if you need anything.â
âOkay.â
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang immediately called Lu Mingyu, who answered quickly.
âYangyang, have you finished breakfast?â Lu Mingyuâs voice couldnât hide his joy, as if he wasnât the one being criticized online.
âYes, I did.â Lu Yangâs tone was casual. âMingyu, I want to go back and see
Grandma. Can you free up some time in the next few days?â
Lu Mingyu immediately replied, âOf course!â
âWell, let Chen Su know,â Lu Yang said.
âNo need, heâs been on vacation recently. Iâll come pick you up now.â
Chen Su, who was extremely busy and had no idea he was on âvacation,â was surprised. He had been busy for half a day, but Lu Yang, the one manipulating the situation, hadnât called him to ask what was going on.
Also missing in action was the wronged artist, Lu Mingyu.
Unable to resist, Chen Su took the initiative to contact Lu Yang.
Leaning against the back of the car, Lu Yang felt drowsy and lazily opened her lips. âHello, if you have something to say, go ahead.â âIs Mingyu with you?â Chen Su asked nervously. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYes, heâs taking a two-dav break,â Lu Yanz replied.
Chen Su was speechless.
Outside, the storm was raging, but inside the house, everything was calm.
âThatâs good. Take a few days to relax.â Chen Su said confidently, âDonât worry about the online situation. By the time you come back, everything will be resolved.â
âThe person in the video is Pei Yiwu. The medication my brother gave her wasnât contraceptives, it was painkillers.â Lu Yang explained proactively, âShe has already left Yonkers and it wonât be easy to find her.â
The girlâs face in the video was completely obscured, and all the attacks were directed at Lu Mingyu. Chen Su couldnât help but speculate, âDid Pei Yiwu deliberately frame Mingyu?â
Lu Yang didnât directly answer him but stated, âIâve already sent you the surveillance footage from the pharmacy and the medication records. Take a look when you have time.â
Chen Su felt a surge of frustration in his throat. He had known about the clues but hadnât brought them forward, all to take Lu Mingyu away, had he?
As the scandals kept pouring in, netizens reveled in the gossip. Suddenly, the studio released a high-definition video. The girlâs appearance was blurred, and it still couldnât be determined if she was Pei Yiwu, but the object in Lu Mingyuâs hand was clear.
Shortly after, netizens discovered that the studio had taken serious action by directly suing the online users who had severely defamed Lu Mingyu.
The matter was far from over.
In a village nestled by the mountains and water, a car drove through the countryside. When it passed by, passersby couldnât help but turn their heads and mutter, âThe license plate number of this car is really strange, LY520. The first time Iâve seen it.â
Lu Yang leaned her head against the car window, recalling the three posts by Wen Jian. It felt a bit strange.
âYangyang, weâre home.â
Lost in thought, Lu Yang snapped out of it when she heard Lu Mingyuâs voice.
âOkay.â
The appearance of the house was just as she remembered. The small courtyard on both sides of the front door was filled with various medicinal herbs. A disheveled woman walked out of the house, her eyes filled with tears, holding a few months old baby tightly in her arms.
She paid no attention to Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu and only had her focus on the child in her arms.
As she passed by Lu Yang, Lu Mingyu became more cautious. It was only when she walked farther away that he relaxed.
Lu Yang was rendered speechless.
In her foolish older brotherâs eyes, he would crush her like an antâ¦
Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu walked inside, and the interior of the house was completely different from the vibrant exterior. Aside from the simple table and chairs, antique medicine cabinets adorned every corner. As they got closer, the aroma of various herbs became stronger.
An elderly woman with gray hair was pulling open a drawer and taking out a medicinal herb. She brought it close to her nose, sniffed it, and then placed it
