Chapter 62: Chasing Shadows

Netizens can't hurt her, the only one who can hurt her is Fu Zheng.

In her work on promoting MQ and other projects, she often deals with the media, and naturally understands that most netizens tend to follow trends blindly.

What they see is what someone wants them to see.

Just like today's news, some media outlets deliberately manipulated the online community to stir up public opinion, while Wu Ling also stabbed them in the back. Someone was deliberately trying to show it off to netizens.

As for things she didn't want netizens to see, such as her clarifications, Fu Zheng strictly guarded them, preventing even a single word from being released online. Whenever she spoke the truth on Weibo, it would be censored within three seconds.

Zhou Yu sat with Wen Liang in the bar for a while.

Wen Liang said, "You don't have work this afternoon?"

"No, if it were me, my agent would have called me like crazy. I'm just sitting here with you for a while. Hey, why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight? I finally have some free time."

"Okay." Wen Liang said with a smile, "Wait for me to go to the mall and buy some gifts for my uncle and aunt. You can't go there empty-handed."

"Well, as long as you go over there, it will be fine."

"No, that's so rude."

Wen Liang stood up and said, there is a shopping mall nearby.

"I'll go with you."

"No, brother, you're too conspicuous. I'm already in the spotlight. If I get photographed, you'll be in trouble too."

Wen Liang doesn't care about the comments on the Internet.

She also knows that she is just an ordinary person to netizens, and when the heat passes, most people will not mention this matter again.

At most, Chu Siyi's fans are just chasing after her.

"How about this, you take my car and I'll wait for you in the garage."

"Okay."

Wen Liang responded and went to the garage on the basement floor with Zhou Yu.

After getting in the car, Zhou Yu drove it to the garage of a nearby shopping mall, and Wen Liang pushed the door and got out.

Zhou Yu advised: "Don't buy too much, just a little bit for your own good."

Wen Liang waved his hand casually, "I understand."

Wen Liang went to the counter and picked out two bottles of wine, then went to the jewelry store and chose a round and shiny pearl necklace, and also bought some bird's nest and other miscellaneous things.

Putting it in the trunk, Wen Liang clapped his hands, opened the passenger door, and sat in: "Let's go."

The car drove into the villa.

Wen Liang and Zhou Yu got out of the car one after another and took out the gifts from the trunk one by one.

At the entrance, Zhou Yu changed his shoes and called out to the living room, "Dad, Mom, look who's here?"

"Who is it?" Aunt Zhou stood up from the sofa and took two steps towards the entrance. Seeing Wen Liang behind Zhou Yu, she said in surprise, "It's Aliang. Come in quickly. Why did you buy so many things? We have plenty at home."

"Aunt, it's not much, it's what I should do."

"I'm very happy that you can come. Put this thing here and someone will clean it up later. Come and sit down." Aunt Zhou came forward and took Wen Liang's hand and sat down on the sofa.

"I haven't visited you for a while. How are you and your uncle doing recently?"

"Don't worry, your uncle and I are in good health. Ayu is busy with work and can only come back a few times a year. We are very happy that you can take the time to come."

"I will make time to spend more time with my aunt."

Zhou Yu sat down on the single sofa next to him and watched the two of them chatting.

Aunt Zhou is old and not keen on things on the Internet.

It's just that her son is a star, so she also pays attention to the comments online. If someone praises her son, she will be ecstatic, but if someone criticizes her son, she will feel uncomfortable. She even argues with people in person, but she can't win the argument and is ridiculed by others: You know Zhou Yu so well, are you his mother?

Aunt Zhou had also seen the news about Wen Liang on the Internet.

Zhou Yu has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and Aunt Zhou has gradually come to understand the nature of those unscrupulous media outlets that fabricate stories and quote things out of context in the news about him.

Aunt Zhou comforted Wen Liang and told her not to take it to heart.

Aunt Zhou thought, Wen Liang and Fu Zheng have been together for so many years, if there really is something going on between them, how can Chu Siyi have a place in it?

"Thank you, Auntie. Don't worry, they can scold me, I will live my own life. They can't affect me. I won't take it to heart."

"Hey, that's right. It's just... such news, why didn't Mr. Fu clarify it? Isn't this just giving you a bad reputation for nothing?"

Wen Liang lowered his eyes and smiled, "Aunt, those media and netizens have already dug out my identity. They know that I am the adopted daughter of the Fu family and Fu Zheng is my brother, but they still fan the flames and lead the rhythm. It's useless to clarify with them. The best way to deal with this matter is to suppress the heat. Once the heat has died down, delete all the topics and everything will be fine."

If there is nothing innocent between her and Fu Zheng, then this is indeed the best way to handle it.

"That's true. Mr. Fu is so busy, how could he have the energy to care about what netizens think." Aunt Zhou nodded.

Zhou Yu had been involved in groundless scandals in the past, but he simply handled them coldly and did not respond. Things gradually passed naturally, and Aunt Zhou understood this very well.

Zhou Yu interrupted their conversation, "By the way, Mom, didn't you ask for two amulets last time?"

"Oh, yes, yes." Aunt Zhou suddenly remembered and took out a peace amulet from the drawer and stuffed it into Wen Liang's hand. "Ayu said last time you came back that you've been having bad luck lately. When I went to the temple to burn incense, I specifically asked for an extra peace amulet. I'm giving it to you. The master at the temple said that this amulet will only be useful if you carry it with you at all times."

Wen Liang was just talking last time, but she didn't expect Zhou Yu to take it to heart.

She took the amulet and said with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie. It's really troublesome for you."

"What's the trouble? Don't be polite to me."

Wen Liang and Zhou Yu chatted with Aunt Zhou, talking and laughing.

Soon it got dark and she had another dinner at the Zhou family.

After dinner, Wen Liang sat on the sofa for a while, then stood up and said goodbye to Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou.

Zhou Yu drove her back.

Wen Liang looked at the street scene outside the car window and said to Zhou Yu, "Take me to Dexing Hospital."

"Well, not going home? How are we going to the hospital?" Zhou Yu said as he turned and walked away.

"Grandpa is not feeling well and is in the hospital. We agreed yesterday to go see him in the hospital today."

"good."

The car drove into Dexing Hospital and stopped downstairs of the inpatient building.

Wen Liang thanked Zhou Yu and got out of the car.

After Fang took two steps, Zhou Yu caught up from behind and cleared his throat. "How about I go upstairs with you? Your grandfather is sick. Since I'm already downstairs, there's no reason not to go visit him."

What Zhou Yu said made sense and was well-intentioned, so how could Wen Liang refuse?

Wen Liang glanced at him and said, "Then wear your mask properly so no one can recognize you."

Zhou Yu was delighted and nodded quickly. He put on his mask and followed Wen Liang upstairs.

Arriving at the door of the ward, Wen Liang knocked and went in.

The old man was half lying on the hospital bed, and the old lady was feeding him.

"Grandpa, grandma."

Wen Liang walked in and found that there was another person sitting on the sofa on the other side, leaning against the back of the sofa with his legs crossed. It was Fu Zheng.

When their eyes met, she looked away immediately with a cold expression.

Zhou Yu, on the other hand, didn't know that Wen Liang and Fu Zheng had a strained relationship. He nodded after seeing Fu Zheng.

"Aliang is here. Have you had dinner yet?" The old lady saw Zhou Yu after Wen Liangsheng and asked, "Who is this?"

"Grandpa, grandma, this is my friend Zhou Yu. He brought me here today."

After saying this, Wen Liang suddenly felt a chill on her back, and a burning gaze fell on her. She didn't need to guess who it was.
