Chapter 883 A Lifetime of Moral Kidnapping

Before arguing with Lin Yuxiu, Lian Lifan looked around to make sure all the cameras were pointed at Ye Wanxi and the others, so they wouldn't be filmed, before he dared to vent his anger on Lin Yuxiu.

Lin Yuxiu, needless to say, is an ordinary person who is not very sensitive to the camera. Moreover, she believes she has not done anything wrong, so she naturally has no reason to shy away from it.

Therefore, neither of them realized that there was a fixed camera not far from them, broadcasting their entire argument verbatim.

The content was so explosive that even most of Li Fan's fans were still reeling from the shock and hadn't quite recovered.

On the contrary, some casual netizens who had previously heard about the couple announcing their relationship were the first to react.

[Wait...wasn't it said that Lian Lifan's girlfriend was his fan, and their relationship was a model of fandom? But judging from their tone, it seems like they've known each other for a long time, and have been boyfriend and girlfriend for a long time?]

Ah, the two of them mentioned a few years ago when they were talking, which means they must have known each other for a long time. Lian Lifan has only been in the industry for two or three years. Based on this timeline, it is very likely that the two of them knew each other before Lian Lifan debuted, and they may even be childhood sweethearts.

What I don't understand is, since they knew each other for a long time and were childhood sweethearts, why did they say the woman was his fan and that she pursued him when they went public? Wouldn't it have been better to just say they were childhood sweethearts?

[What's so hard to understand? When he debuted, he kept saying he was single, cultivating a "little wolf dog" image to gain a huge following of female fans. When he went public with his relationship, a lot of them left. If he had just said they were childhood sweethearts, wouldn't that have been admitting he'd been lying since his debut? And yet, people still support him? I really don't understand what his fans are after.]

[Is it because of his face and his bad temper? I knew they wouldn't last when they went public with their relationship. The entire article showed absolutely no respect for the woman, constantly referring to her as my fan and saying she pursued me. It's truly laughable; the condescending tone, implying that the woman was throwing herself at him and that he only accepted her against his will, couldn't be more obvious.]

Even if it was truly the woman who pursued you, and you're now in a relationship, there were countless ways you could have phrased things more politely, at least preserving your own dignity while giving her some respect. But this guy showed no compassion, directly using her as a scapegoat. The things his toxic fans said to her were incredibly offensive; even seeing them in the comments was disgusting.

[It turns out I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I watched the variety show first, then looked up their press releases from when they went public. My first reaction was, what exactly do his fans want from him? Do they want him to treat his girlfriend like a maid, taking his anger out on her, saying a few nice things when he's happy, and wishing her dead when he's unhappy? It's terrifying to think about. Are all his fans masochists?]

The audience's dissatisfaction with Lian Lifan didn't start today. As early as the first two live broadcasts, many people were dissatisfied with him because of his terrible attitude towards Lin Yuxiu, and consequently disliked watching the couple.

Compared to the fake business between Jiang Yulai and his partner, this couple seems to be one-sidedly giving and taking without any restraint; the one-sided pursuit is all too obvious.

Just as Ye Wanxi thought, many people felt sympathy for Lin Yuxiu, but even more so, they were angry at her for not standing up for herself.

One is disrespectful, the other is eager; one is willing to hit, the other is willing to be hit. It's frustrating and infuriating to watch. Viewers watch variety shows for entertainment, who wants to make themselves feel uncomfortable?

Now that this disappointing person has finally erupted, their dissatisfaction with Lian Lifan seems to have suddenly found a reason to vent, so naturally... they are happy to see it happen.

Before even Li Fan's fans could react to the overwhelming negative comments, his management company was already getting restless.

They immediately hired a large number of online trolls to explain themselves while relentlessly smearing Lin Yuxiu.

That's right, it's about throwing mud.

Lin Yuxiu and Lian Lifan's relationship was actually well-protected before this, mainly because Lian Lifan was already blinded by the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry and didn't want anyone to know that he had such a "disreputable" girlfriend.

Lin Yuxiu suffered many setbacks and hardships after the death of her parents, and was repeatedly belittled by the Lian family over the years. It is certain that she felt inferior and never dared to tell others that she was Lian Lifan's girlfriend, for fear of affecting his career.

Therefore, the exact time when the two truly established their relationship could be explained by them through some manipulation as if they had indeed known each other for a long time, but became boyfriend and girlfriend after Lien Lai-fan debuted.

And who says friends can't be fans?

While this explanation is far-fetched, what fans really want isn't a logically sound reason, but rather a way out.

As long as the way they offer is reasonably acceptable, they can continue to deceive themselves in a seemingly legitimate way.

The focus of Lian Lifan's agency's public relations efforts was on the fact that Lian Lifan had lent Lin Yuxiu money after her parents died, a point mentioned in their conversation.

This is indeed true. Their public relations strategy was similar to Lian Lifan's, which was to publicize Lian Lifan's act of helping him in his time of need and to glorify it as the beginning of Lin Yuxiu's love for Lian Lifan, thus indirectly praising Lian Lifan's character. At the same time, they accused Lin Yuxiu of forgetting such a great favor and being ungrateful.

Lian Lifan's fans, guided in this way, actually happily accepted this brainwashing and began to whitewash Lian Lifan's image.

[Sigh, Fanfan is just too kind. He couldn't bear to see people around him suffer, which is why he lent her money. He never expected her to become so clingy, and even after they got together, she's still not satisfied, dragging Fanfan down on the show. Having a girlfriend like that, Fanfan must be incredibly unlucky!]

[Exactly! Fanfan treats her so well, even taking her on shows. If it were me, I'd be overjoyed, not throwing a tantrum or giving Fanfan the cold shoulder. She's so ungrateful and doesn't appreciate it, dragging Fanfan down instead. She's ungrateful and exploitative. This woman is truly despicable.]

[Daily Question: Has Kris Wu broken up with that stupid woman? Has that stupid woman died suddenly?]

Lian Lifan's company secretly orchestrated the breakup of the two, and Lian Lifan's fans, as if injected with adrenaline, began celebrating ahead of time.

Only the viewers who watched the whole thing were completely bewildered and didn't know what to say. All they could do was shout, "Being brain-dead is a disease, and it's incurable."

No wonder Lin Yuxiu said that it would have been better not to accept the money in the first place; a single payment bought her a lifetime of moral blackmail.

They couldn't see Lin Yuxiu's meticulous care for Lian Lifan, nor could they see Lian Lifan's verbal abuse towards Lin Yuxiu. The only things they could see were the money and Lian Lifan's face!
