Ye Cixing’s 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 Yang’s gaze hardened. “What happened?”
Ye Cixing replied, “Your brother has been caught up in a scandal!” Lu Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief and said firmly, “It’s fake.”
“I believe it’s fake too, but how should we handle this wave of public opinion? Ye Cixing questioned, “Should we control the narrative, release a statement, send a lawyer’s letter, and prove his innocence?”
“Let me see the current situation first.”
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.
“Lu Mingyu was seen arguing with a woman on the street. Yangyang, do you know who that woman is?” Ye Cixing curiously asked.
“You know her,” Lu Yang replied.
“Who?” Ye Cixing asked.
“She’s Pei Yiwu,” 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 Jian’s Anonymous Account.
@GossipBookoßVenJian: If you don’t believe the melon, what do you believe? Do you believe Wen Jian?
@GossipBookoßVenJian: Ribbit, ribbit. Why won’t the praising frog do and insists on being a toad?
@GossipBookoßVenJian: Those who break up my couple ship, no matter how far they are, they will be punished! I’m holding a 40-meter-long sword!
Netizens gathered to watch.
“Does Wen Jian indirectly admit that Lu Mingyu made the girl take con traceptive pills?’
“Wen Jian and Lu Mingyu’s 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!”
“Hugging my pitiful Wen Jian. Wen Jian isn’t bitter, but her fate is. I feel sad.”
Lu Yang narrowed her eyes and her throat suddenly felt dry. Her voice became hoarse as she said, “Cixing, I’ll handle this matter.”
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 wouldn’t 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, “Okay, contact me anytime if you need anything.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang immediately called Lu Mingyu, who answered quickly.
“Yangyang, have you finished breakfast?” Lu Mingyu’s voice couldn’t hide his joy, as if he wasn’t the one being criticized online.
“Yes, I did.” Lu Yang’s tone was casual. “Mingyu, I want to go back and see
Grandma. Can you free up some time in the next few days?”
Lu Mingyu immediately replied, “Of course!”
“Well, let Chen Su know,” Lu Yang said.
“No need, he’s been on vacation recently. I’ll come pick you up now.”
Chen Su, who was extremely busy and had no idea he was on “vacation,” was surprised. He had been busy for half a day, but Lu Yang, the one manipulating the situation, hadn’t 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. “Hello, if you have something to say, go ahead.” “Is Mingyu with you?” Chen Su asked nervously.
“Yes, he’s taking a two-dav break,” Lu Yanz replied.
Chen Su was speechless.
Outside, the storm was raging, but inside the house, everything was calm.
“That’s good. Take a few days to relax.” Chen Su said confidently, “Don’t worry about the online situation. By the time you come back, everything will be resolved.”
“The person in the video is Pei Yiwu. The medication my brother gave her wasn’t contraceptives, it was painkillers.” Lu Yang explained proactively, “She has already left Yonkers and it won’t be easy to find her.”
The girl’s face in the video was completely obscured, and all the attacks were directed at Lu Mingyu. Chen Su couldn’t help but speculate, “Did Pei Yiwu deliberately frame Mingyu?”
Lu Yang didn’t directly answer him but stated, “I’ve already sent you the surveillance footage from the pharmacy and the medication records. Take a look when you have time.”
Chen Su felt a surge of frustration in his throat. He had known about the clues but hadn’t 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 girl’s appearance was blurred, and it still couldn’t be determined if she was Pei Yiwu, but the object in Lu Mingyu’s 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 couldn’t help but turn their heads and mutter, “The license plate number of this car is really strange, LY520. The first time I’ve seen it.’
Lu Yang leaned her head against the car window, recalling the three posts by Wen Jian. It felt a bit strange.
“Yangyang, we’re home.”
Lost in thought, Lu Yang snapped out of it when she heard Lu Mingyu’s voice.
“Okay.”
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 brother’s eyes, he would crush her like an ant…
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
back..
