Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Innocent Superstar Is Not to Be Messed With 22

“There’s such a thing? Why didn’t you tell me?” Guan Mingqing’s voice was urgent on the phone.

In reality, her face was showing a gloating smile.

Initially, she felt a bit frustrated because Xuan Yanrui didn’t gain much popularity on the reality show “Beautiful Times.”

But as soon as the show wrapped up, Du Chen had issues on her end.

If not handled well this time, Du Chen’s career could suffer a significant blow.

Since ancient times, people have always looked down on ungrateful people.

“What’s the matter between you and the Su Family? Is it the Su Family of Su Zihuan and his sister? Was it Su Yuixin whom you swapped with back then?” Guan Mingqing continued to ask.

Ah Chen leaned against the soft pillow, her eyes half-closed, her expression showed no sign of tension, but rather a bit of leisure.

She said, “Yes, it’s that Su Family.”

“It’s all things from the past, not important. You can’t bother Sister Guan with everything.”

Guan Mingqing wondered why she was so calm and asked tentatively, “Are those just rumors?”

“Not really rumors. After leaving the Su Family, I only contacted them once, which was five years ago,” Ah Chen replied, “I indeed haven’t planned to have any ties with them, so I didn’t contact them again. What the whistleblower said is true.”

Guan Mingqing was even more puzzled: “I believe there must be some inside story for you to do this, right? Xiao Chen, you need to know this is not small this time. If the Su Family steps forward to rebut you, the impact on you is more than a bit. Tell me exactly how things are, or how can I help you solve it on my end?”

“I already have an idea on how to solve it. Sister Guan should just let the studio respond briefly. Later, I’ll give everyone an explanation, no need to mention others.”

Guan Mingqing showed a ferocious look, it seemed Du Chen had found a way to break out.

“Why, you don’t trust me?” she asked.

Ah Chen smiled and said, “Sister Guan, I am a bit tired now, my mind is also in chaos, I want to be quiet. These memories are not friendly to me. Besides giving the public an explanation, I don’t want to say more. Please bear with me.”

Having said that, what more could Guan Mingqing do?

If she continued questioning, she would seem unreasonable and not caring for the artist.

Du Chen was getting harder to handle; she used to be much more straightforward, now she learned to say harmless and pointless words with a smile, leaving her helpless.

She really wished the Su Family would be more aggressive, just hammer Du Chen completely.

But she was reluctant to lose Du Chen’s fame and resources; if she was hammered completely, wouldn’t all these things be gone? She hadn’t had the chance to transfer resources to Xuan Yanrui.

Xuan Yanrui was also facing setbacks this year; despite being capable, nothing went smoothly.

He lacked a bit of luck.

Following what Ah Chen said, Guan Mingqing had the studio respond briefly, not daring to say anything strange, as being too obvious would easily cause backlash.

Now was not the time to tear apart with Du Chen.

Fans were quieter, while passersby were merely curious onlookers, but the internet trolls wouldn’t be quiet, still stirring things up, asking if Du Chen was still thinking of excuses, making the comment section chaotic.

At this moment, a new hot search suddenly appeared on the homepage: #Su Family’s Response#

A reporter caught up with Su Zihuan, and in the footage, the reporter was stopped by security, but Su Zihuan suddenly walked over, expressing his willingness to answer two questions and hoped reporters wouldn’t disturb his family, especially his sister, as he didn’t want Su Yuixin to be hurt by this.

Su Zihuan said, “I don’t know who is so bored to reveal these things. What I want to say is it was all over ten years ago. The two families now coexist peacefully, and there’s no need to dig up old issues and affect each other’s lives. My family and I are very satisfied with the current situation, finding my sister being our greatest happiness, and we don’t care about other things.”

The response seemed to contain nothing new.

Although he didn’t say a bad word about the other side, this attitude was enough to prove the authenticity of the revelations; Du Chen indeed hadn’t contacted the Su Family over the years, nor did she allow the Su Family to contact Du Ya.

This interview footage again pushed Ah Chen to the forefront in a short period.

“Sister Chenchen.” Shi Xiao, an outspoken child, would never believe Sister Chenchen was the way the internet said, quickly called Ah Chen.

Shi Wei was right next to him.

He knew Shi Xiao would call, so he came over to check.

Ah Chen asked, “You called me just after a short separation?”

“Sister Chenchen sounds fine, that’s great. What’s said online must be rumors, I believe Sister Chenchen,” Shi Xiao said loudly, “But I’m too young, and seem unable to help you. Sigh, originally I wanted my brother to side with you, but my brother said it would likely cause more trouble for you.”

Shi Xiao was initially a bit angry, but after listening to Shi Wei’s analysis, he had to accept that someone like his brother standing up would cause all sorts of trouble for Sister Chenchen.

Had to give up.

“Why am I not an adult? If I were a CEO, I’d pay to take down the hot search immediately.”

“Suddenly want to inherit the family business,” he added.

Shi Wei: “…” With this behavior, I’m afraid he’d be a prodigal son even if he did inherit!

Ah Chen was amused: “Some things can’t be solved by removing the hot search or shutting other people’s mouths. Thank you, Xiao Xiao, for your concern, I will settle this matter, don’t worry.”

“I believe in Sister Chenchen, always supporting you!”

“Is there really no problem?” Shi Wei’s voice suddenly came on the phone.

Ah Chen replied, “Hmm, no problem. It’s really nice that Teacher Shi is so concerned.”

Shi Wei felt his heart skip a beat, he even heard a thumping sound.

He didn’t snap out of it for a long time even after the call ended.

He carried his phone back inside, constantly staying tuned to online happenings. Although he knew many of the comments were spread by internet trolls, he still felt a surge of anger.

He never wanted to become too involved with people in this circle because he had seen such things happen too often. Once someone leads, it’s easy for netizens to follow.

But this time, he was very worried.

At the same time, he was increasingly disgusted by certain phenomena in this circle.

He also understood that wherever people gather, there is a community. It’s not only in this industry but also such things have been happening everywhere he lived since childhood, though it’s particularly obvious in this circle.

He could freely do what he liked only because he was born standing high.

Mu Kejie’s call came, Shi Wei answered while keeping an eye on the online situation.

“Brother Shi, the appointment with the psychologist is scheduled for tomorrow morning.”

Shi Wei: “Okay.”

Psychological issues are worth attention; his dark and twisted thoughts are indeed wrong and require intervention from a psychologist.

“Brother Shi, are you aware of the situation online?” Mu Kejie suddenly became angry, “Anyway, I believe in Chenchen. Don’t believe those rumors. Okay, I’m going to fight the trolls and cheer for my Chenchen, not talking to you more, call me if there’s anything important.”

Shi Wei was speechless; was he someone who easily believed in rumors?

His younger brother was like this, and his cousin was like this too. Since when had he become an idiot in their eyes?

It’s they who are the brainless fans.

But he trusted her.

Refreshing the homepage, the top hot search had changed again, and behind it was another dark and prominent explosion: #Du Chen’s Response#
