Chapter 92: Public Opinion Erupts Public Opinion Erupts About Her...

"Of course it's He Shengnian."

Xu Qinghu said without hesitation: "He is more important than you."

Wu Xuan's eyes suddenly darkened, and he stared at her face, as if he couldn't believe that these were the words she could say.

"You're lying to me." He said with great certainty, "He can't possibly surpass the position I hold in your heart."

"You're still dreaming," Xu Qinghu chuckled. "Do I have anything to do with you now?"

Wu Xuan's lips tightened, his breathing seemed to become stagnant. He stared at Xu Qinghu stubbornly and repeated, "You lied to me."

Xu Qinghu lowered his eyelashes, "When have I ever lied to you?"

"You lied to me." Wu Xuan lowered his voice. "You just lied to me."

"What good would it bring me to lie to you?" Xu Qinghu looked him in the eye. "If I didn't like him, why would I approach him?"

"Humans aren't meant to be sentimental creatures. If you think he and I are just flirting, you're just deceiving yourself."

Wu Xuan stood there in a daze, his breath seemingly gone. He stared at Xu Qinghu intently, "You're just lying to me."

He didn't believe that Xu Qinghu would easily like someone else, and he had never accepted the fact that they had broken up. He felt that as long as he convinced his family, Xu Qinghu would come back to him.

Xu Qinghu didn't want to talk to the repeater, so he just said, "Don't target He Shengnian anymore. Don't affect the relationship between him and me."

Wu Xuan drooped his eyelashes and said nothing, but there seemed to be a faint glimmer of tears in his eyelashes.

"Crying?" Xu Qinghu deliberately leaned closer to him, wanting to see if he was crying. Wu Xuan quickly turned his head away and said in a muffled voice, "No, I won't cry for you."

"Oh." Xu Qinghu said, "I thought you were still such a crybaby."

Wu Xuan: “…”

He took a deep breath, turned around and glared at Xu Qinghu, his eyes flushed unnaturally. "Just be with him, just be with him."

Seeing him trying hard to suppress his sadness, Xu Qinghu didn't even blink, "When the show is over, I will definitely be with him."

Wu Xuan felt a spasmodic pain in his chest, but he stubbornly refused to speak.

Xu Qinghu took a step back. "Don't think so highly of everyone. No matter if it's me or netizens, no one will truly protect you except your family."

After saying that, she walked downstairs.

Wu Xuan looked at her back as she didn't even turn her head. Her whole body was shrouded in the shadow of the night, and his facial expression could not be seen.

Xu Qinghu walked to the stairs and found that the lights in the living room were on. She was about to turn around and go back to her room when He Shengnian came up with a computer. He was slightly startled when he saw her.

"It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Xu Qinghu shook his head. "I've been receiving too much information lately. I want to get some fresh air."

He Shengnian walked up to her and said slowly, "Shall I accompany you to the rooftop to watch the stars?"

Xu Qinghu remained calm and said, "No, let's go to the garden for a while."

After saying that, she took the initiative to walk downstairs. He Shengnian was about to follow her when he heard footsteps coming from upstairs.

He turned around and met a pair of extremely cold eyes.

He Shengnian was stunned for a moment, and a scene he had seen before emerged in his mind, and his eyes suddenly changed.

Wu Xuan stood where he was, looking down at him with undisguised hostility in his eyes.

He Shengnian's brows immediately furrowed, "Why haven't you rested yet so late?"

"I'm in a bad mood," Wu Xuan said with a raised corner of his mouth, "Let's go to the rooftop to relax."

He did not show any connection with Xu Qinghu, but He Shengnian could sense the subtlety in it.

He is still obsessed with his ex-girlfriend, but he obviously has a good impression of Xu Qinghu. Such behavior is too contradictory.

He Shengnian vaguely sensed something, but did not ask any questions. Instead, he nodded to Wu Xuan and followed Xu Qinghu to the garden.

Wu Xuan walked slowly to the window, looked at the two people sitting on the swing and talking, and let out a light snort from his nose.

"You don't have to pay too much attention to online public opinion," He Shengnian whispered. "Those who spread rumors have already been punished."

"I know," Xu Qinghu smiled, "I just have some insomnia."

Looking at her smiling eyes, He Shengnian was silent for a moment, "Do you usually like to go to the rooftop to get some fresh air?"

"It's okay," Xu Qinghu said, "I'll go up there when I'm feeling down."

He Shengnian nodded slightly and said softly, "If this happens again in the future, you can send me a message and I'll accompany you."

He looked into Xu Qinghu's eyes and said meaningfully, "I hope there won't be any secrets between us."

His eyes were gentle, yet as deep as an ancient well, as if reminding Xu Qinghu of something.

Xu Qinghu heard this, and a smile appeared in her beautiful peach blossom eyes. "Are you jealous because of the truth or dare game? Didn't I tell you? Our past relationship is irrelevant. What matters is the future, it's you and me."

Seeing that she didn't respond directly, He Shengnian didn't continue the topic, "It's getting late, go back and rest first."

"Okay." Xu Qinghu stood up, looked at his tall figure, hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing.

It's not the right time yet.

She was not the heroine in the novel, nor did she have a sufficiently matching family background. All these conditions were simply a disaster for He Shengnian, otherwise he would not have decided to choose her after sending several text messages to Qiao Wanshu.

Unfortunately, even this choice is accompanied by uncertainty.

After all, she wasn't from an upper-class background, and the only thing she could offer was emotional value. If even that made him doubt her, then they wouldn't be far from parting ways.

Once a person makes an exception, her tolerance will decrease, so that she must not have any moral problems, otherwise it will be a violation of the rules.

Xu Qinghu has not come into contact with many men, but she understands human nature.

He Shengnian had already begun to doubt her.

He wanted her to confess on her own initiative and resolve his doubts, but this was too boring. What kind of splash would it make?

She felt it was not enough.

The next day, He Shengnian sent her to work as usual, and picked her up for a date just before get off work ended.

The location Xu Qinghu chose was by the lake. The two first had dinner at a nearby restaurant, and then took a walk by the lake to watch the stars.

He Shengnian's attitude was obviously not as warm as before, and he seemed to be enduring something.

Xu Qinghu took him on a boat and headed to the small island in the center of the lake.

He Shengnian sat beside her and looked at her fair face. "You..."

Before he could finish his words, the sky exploded with a continuous stream of fireworks, the dazzling light illuminating a large area of ​​the lake. Passersby on the shore cheered excitedly, "There are fireworks on the island! Who is setting off fireworks? It's so romantic!"

"You don't have to think to know that it's a couple confessing their love!"

"So beautiful, let's take a photo with the fireworks!"

He Shengnian raised his head and fireworks exploded above his head, brighter than the stars in the sky.

"I've wanted to bring you here for a long time," Xu Qinghu said, "but unfortunately I haven't found the right opportunity."

He Shengnian came back to his senses, his eyes clearly relaxed, "When did you prepare this?"

"The day you got the date card," Xu Qinghu looked at him with a smile, "was it a surprise?"

There was a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, looking forward to his reaction.

My goodness, Gourd is so generous! Setting off fireworks on the island not only costs money, but also requires advance approval. The process is so cumbersome.

[This shows that she really values ​​this date and wants to give Mr. He a unique dating experience.]

[If I were Mr. He, I would hug Hulu tightly and give her a long French kiss.]

I didn't expect Xu Qinghu to be so deadly when he gets romantic. He's so thoughtful.

[Although, doesn't anyone think Mr. He isn't in a good mood today? He seems a little absent-minded. Is he having a conflict with Hulu?]

[That shouldn't be the case. He was quite gentlemanly towards Xu Qinghu. I guess he's just tired from work.]

"Thank you for your hard work." He Shengnian lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Qinghu, a smile on his lips, "It's a surprise." "I knew you would like it." Xu Qinghu raised his eyes and smiled, saying proudly: "Although many people can see it, this is a firework that belongs to you alone."

When He Shengnian heard this, his heart seemed to stop for a moment, and then beat faster, making the distracting thoughts in his mind quickly disappear, and he could only see Xu Qinghu.

He gently held Xu Qinghu's hand, thinking that no matter what she was hiding, he was willing to wait for her to tell it herself. He would give her time.

At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.

He Shengnian paused, opened the screen and looked at the message sent by his subordinates. His originally relaxed and happy expression suddenly became gloomy.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qinghu approached him. "Is it about work?"

"No," He Shengnian put away his phone and looked at her face as bright as the crescent moon. His eyes were no longer as gentle as before, but with obvious scrutiny.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qinghu noticed his abnormality and asked with concern: "Did you encounter any difficulties?"

He Shengnian shook his head and said, "I'm a little tired. Let's go back first."

His sudden indifference made Xu Qinghu feel a little overwhelmed. He couldn't help but say, "But the fireworks will last for a long time. I want to watch them with you."

He Shengnian closed his eyes upon hearing this, and it took him a moment to calm his inner restlessness. "Whatever you say."

The cold attitude is completely different from before.

Xu Qinghu frowned and asked, "Is the information you received related to me?"

He Shengnian looked at her deeply, not wanting to argue with her in front of the camera, and said calmly, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

Xu Qinghu was sitting next to him. They were obviously very close to each other, but because of a text message, it seemed as if there was an unreachable distance between them.

At this time, the Internet was already in an uproar because of her, and a large number of haters also poured into the live broadcast room, scolding her for being snobbish, eager for quick success, and betraying those who were sincere.

[Have you seen the video online? Did Hulu really break up with her ex-boyfriend because of the dating variety show?]

A video of Xu Qinghu suddenly appeared on the Internet. Although it was a bit blurry, her face could still be made out and her conversation with her ex-boyfriend could be heard. Her voice was extremely cold, as if her ex-boyfriend was a hot potato. She ignored his pleading and kicked him away without mercy!

The Xu Qinghu in the video is not only cold-blooded but also heartless, which is very different from her current self, making netizens feel a clear sense of disconnection.

They flocked into the live broadcast room to question Xu Qinghu, suspecting that she deliberately dumped her ex-boyfriend because she wanted to participate in a dating variety show.

The blogger who posted the video even said righteously that the video was not fake, and if anyone has doubts, they can verify its authenticity personally.

He couldn't bear to see the guests on the dating show and the audience in the live broadcast room being deceived, so after a fierce struggle, he decided to upload the video and expose Xu Qinghu's true face.

After clicking on the video, Xu Qinghu's voice came out.

She and her boyfriend seemed to be breaking up. He held her hand, saying something intermittently, begging her not to give up on him, but Xu Qinghu violently broke free from him and taunted him coldly: "Can't you figure out such a simple thing? I'm breaking up with you because, of course, I don't like you anymore."

The man lowered his head and continued to beg in a very low voice. His attitude was extremely humble, which made people's eyes sore.

Xu Qinghu pushed him away again, saying with great annoyance, "I've made it very clear, I can't get what I want from you, so don't cling to me like a dog. It will only make me hate you more and more."

The ex-boyfriend lowered his head, his face unclear, but one could clearly sense the dejection and despair emanating from him. "I don't believe it..."

His voice was a little hoarse, as if he had come to see Xu Qinghu because he was sick. His nasal tone was very strong. "I don't believe what you said..."

He once again reached for Xu Qinghu's hand and said, "You can tell me what I did wrong. I can change everything as long as we don't break up..."

"Nothing is good about it," Xu Qinghu's face remained unchanged, and even became more sarcastic. "I want to pursue a better life, and you will only be a burden to me! Who would like a pet that wags its tail and begs for mercy?"

Before he finished speaking, his ex-boyfriend's body began to tremble violently, and a sobbing sound came from his throat. The feeling of collapse overflowed the screen, which was heartbreaking.

Finally, Xu Qinghu said a lot of harsh words before leaving him and turning away.

The ex-boyfriend stood there for a long time without moving.

"This video was filmed just ten days before Xu Qinghu participated in the dating variety show. At the time, she had already received an invitation from the program team. In order to hook up with a high-quality male guest, she deliberately broke up with her ex-boyfriend and planned to gain fans through the dating variety show. I really feel sorry for her ex-boyfriend. He has become a stepping stone for her to climb the ladder."

The blogger who broke the news also posted a lot of photos of Xu Qinghu and her ex-boyfriend shopping on the street. Although the ex-boyfriend was wearing a baseball cap and a mask and looked very low-key, he was a very good man judging from his height and temperament.

"Did you see the clothes the boy was wearing? They were all cheap brands. Xu Qinghu despised the poor and loved the rich. She must have wanted to break up with him a long time ago. But the boy didn't see her true face at all, so he was deceived by her for so long."

[That's too much!]

This Weibo post instantly became a hot topic, and countless people began to curse and criticize Xu Qinghu, thinking that she was hypocritical and insincere, and that such a person should be infamous forever!

[I was wondering why I didn't like her, but I didn't expect she would be this kind of person!]

[This is really eye-opening. Did the production team know they had found such a top-notch talent?]

[Finally, she's been exposed. I've long suspected that her private life was not pure. Before, someone tried to whitewash her. Now let's see how she can quibble!]

[This is so vicious. Just because she wants to be on a dating show, she can kick her boyfriend out without hesitation? Is Xu Qinghu still human?]

There are also many male netizens who claim to have had the same experience and began to criticize Xu Qinghu, saying that she was blinded by money and that such a cheap woman would sooner or later be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!

All of a sudden, all kinds of dirty words were thrown at Xu Qinghu. Except for her fans who believed in her unwaveringly, everyone else wanted to trample her to death!

[I don't believe Hulu is that kind of person. I don't believe rumors or spread them. I'll wait for Hulu to clarify.]

[+1, there are too many people slandering Hulu, everyone should not blindly take sides.]

[After what happened the last two times, I won't doubt Xu Qinghu so easily. I'd better listen to what she has to say.]

[Even if they broke up before participating in the dating show, she must have her own reasons. I advise the haters to stop now and be honest when they receive the lawyer's letter.]

[What's left to question? The video is irrefutable evidence. Xu Qinghu can just wait for the internet to blacklist him!]

[No wonder she picked He Shengnian right away. She probably valued his family background. Gold diggers really have good taste!]

[I wonder if He Shengnian will still be with her after discovering how shallow and selfish she is. Xu Qinghu can just wait for her doom!]

[This kind of scumbag girl should get out of the show. I want to vomit when I see her face!]

As the trending search fermented, the popularity of the live broadcast room soared, and soon exceeded 30 million. Most of them were scolding Xu Qinghu, saying that she was a vicious person and would not die a good death.

Fans tried their best to defend themselves, but failed to stop netizens’ celebration.

It was as if they had grabbed Xu Qinghu's weak spot and were venting their inner dissatisfaction crazily.

At that time, Xu Qinghu looked at the fireworks blooming above his head, and the cold light of the fireworks was reflected in his black and white peach blossom eyes.

Fireworks fade away quickly.

Even colder than the night breeze by the lake.

After a brief period of splendor, there is a long period of extinction.

But this still does not affect Xu Qinghu's love for it. He burns everything just for a moment of splendor.

At this time, she no longer cared about He Shengnian's emotions, but just quietly admired the fireworks that she had taken so much trouble to ignite.

When the last bunch of fireworks burned out, Xu Qinghu didn't rush to look away. Instead, he sniffed the smoke and whispered, "Beautiful things are always short-lived and fleeting. The fireworks are burned out."

He Shengnian's gaze fell on her face. She was still unaware of the online public opinion. There was still a faint smile in her eyes, and she looked bright and beautiful.

"Let's go," Xu Qinghu didn't delay for too long and quickly came to his senses and said, "We should go back."

She didn't ask He Shengnian why he was in a bad mood, but just said: "If you are unhappy, you can tell me the reason. If there is anything, we can solve it together."

He Shengnian thought about the text message and still didn't want to argue with her in front of the camera. He said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

Xu Qinghu didn't say anything else. He just waited for the boat to dock and walked straight down.

On the way here, He Shengnian pulled her onto the boat, and on the way back, Xu Qinghu did not rely on his help.

She was wearing a white dress and jumped off the boat slowly. The hem of her skirt was like a blooming gardenia, white and light.

He Shengnian followed behind her, watching her still brisk steps, his eyes extremely complicated.

Perhaps even he himself did not expect that Xu Qinghu would release such a video.

The man in the film has almost no similarities with Wu Xuan.

But he was still shocked by it.

The Xu Qinghu in the video made him feel extremely unfamiliar.
