"Wen Wan!" she roared angrily, retorting with great dissatisfaction. "What do you, a young lady who is so beloved by everyone, know? You haven't experienced my situation, so what right do you have to criticize me like this?"
Wen Wan frowned and rubbed her aching ear. She wasn't deaf, nor could she hear anything. Why was she making such a fuss? Arguments weren't won or lost based on the volume of the voice!
Lu Xu wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve and choked up, complaining, "You said I should rely on my own efforts to climb up. I tried hard, but the result is that hard work can never compare to background!"
"After a long and serious reflection, I finally accepted this harsh reality and stopped obsessing over becoming famous. I just wanted to focus on filming. As long as I have a place in the entertainment industry, I'll be truly satisfied!"
"But that abominable fellow, Fang Cheng, completely destroyed my life and my dreams. During that time, I would be startled awake in my sleep, and his terrifying face would be all I could see in my dreams."
Wen Wan looked at her on the verge of collapse and felt helpless. The saying "there must be something hateful about pitiful people" was really YYD! It really applied perfectly to Lu Xu and Fang Cheng!
"You said... you said they tried their best to protect me." Lu Xu raised his hand and pointed at the ghosts beside him, panting and asking, "But what's the use?"
"I will still be hurt! I still can't escape this suffocating cage! They can't save me! Once those photos spread, my life will be completely ruined!"
"My fans will stop following me, and those who liked me will stop liking me. They will laugh at me and stab me in the back. Even if only the police see these photos, who can guarantee that no one else will tell others?"
She had dreamed countless times that her photos were being spread out, and every time she woke up she was covered in cold sweat. Later, she would be terrified whenever she thought about it. Those photos were like a thorn in her heart, and the pain would not stop if it was touched.
"Even if no one tells anyone, as soon as the news of Fang Cheng's arrest comes out, there will naturally be a large number of reporters digging for the inside story. As long as they know it's because of this incident, even if they don't know the specific victim, they will keep speculating among us!"
"I don't know how many rumors will be spread by then. Even if I'm not the victim, I will be the target of rumors. So I don't want the photos to be leaked. What the hell did I do wrong?"
Wen Wan was bewildered and suppressed the urge to scold her. She said angrily, "I think... you seem to have made a mistake. Your perspective on things is quite strange, and your brain seems to be particularly not working well!"
"I beg you to wake up! You're a victim, and Fang Cheng is the perpetrator. Why are people blaming you victims instead of the perpetrator? What's the logic behind this?"
"And before anything even happens, you're already blaming the victim and brainwashing yourself with slut-shaming. Are you crazy?"
Qiao Tianrui thought her words made sense, so he nodded and agreed, "You're right. We were forced, not willingly. We are the victims, so why should we feel ashamed? It's Fang Cheng who should be ashamed!"
"Heh." Lu Xu chuckled disdainfully, "That's easy for you to say. Whether it's voluntary or forced, as long as this kind of thing gets out, people will poke you in the back!"
"Those are all bitches!" Wen Wan rolled her eyes and then started cursing. "Only bitches would be so bored as to resort to victim-blaming!"
"I admit that once this matter gets out, there will definitely be people who will use it to attack you, but most normal people will choose to protect your vulnerability!"
"If you're in the entertainment industry, you should understand one thing: people who hate you won't change their opinion of you just because you're outstanding. In their eyes, any strengths you have are weaknesses, so whether this matter gets out or not, they'll still hate you!"
"And those who like you won't hate you for this. They'll just feel bad for you because they like you! So... if you keep caring about what the haters say, you'll never be able to hold your head up!"
"That's right!" Li Ling nodded and shouted, then said seriously: "We didn't do anything wrong, so there is no need to feel ashamed about this matter!"
"The ones who should be ashamed are Fang Cheng, the perpetrator of all kinds of evil, and those who don't know right from wrong, have no bottom line, and only know how to act like keyboard warriors!
Wen Wan glanced at her with a hint of admiration, then continued, "Confidence comes from yourself. The more you act like you care about this, the more people who hate you will use it to attack you."
"If you act like you don't care at all and hold your head high and act confident every day, they'll see they can't hurt you and will soon stop using this tactic."
"I think you're just too sensitive and adding unnecessary trouble to yourself. How many people in the entertainment industry haven't been criticized? Even someone as talented as my brother Zhou, who's so popular, doesn't he still get criticized?"
Ghosts; “…”
They were really caught off guard by the dog food. They even showed off their affection during this educational segment. It’s really enough!!
In fact, Wen Wan was not deliberately showing off her affection. She just subconsciously used Zhou Ziheng as an example.
Worried that one example wasn't enough, she patted her chest and said, "And me? Don't I get slandered, defamed, and yelled at all the time? But what can I do about it? If it's a minor incident, I'll just yell back. If it's a major incident, I'll sue. There's always a way to resolve it!"
Although Lu Xu felt that what she said made some sense, this incident did not happen to them after all, and the root cause was still very different, so he decisively refuted it; "You——"
"I know what you're going to say." Wen Wan interrupted her directly, confidently saying, "You must be saying that our situations are different. I haven't personally experienced this kind of thing, so I shouldn't be so sure."
"Even though I haven't personally experienced it, I've at least seen this kind of thing happen. Ning Yuxin's situation is probably similar to yours, right? She admitted her mistakes and corrected them. She was scolded at first, but she still persevered, didn't she?"
"Although my words may be a little cruel and unpleasant, I still want to tell you that if you have a fragile heart and can't handle the criticism and abuse from others, then you should quit the entertainment industry as soon as possible, because this is something every artist has experienced."
Lu Xu lowered her head and stared at the floor without saying a word. She had to admit that Wen Wan was right, but she was still unwilling to admit that she was wrong, because this was her only excuse for betraying her friend.
Once she admitted that Wen Wan was right, all her previous words would be overturned, and she would no longer be able to find an excuse for her betrayal, so... she had no choice but to remain silent, and she had no choice but to remain silent.
Wen Wan looked at her like this and sneered, then silently began to plan a big move.
