Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Don’t look down on anyone...
When they heard the beginning, everyone was stunned, thinking they were hallucinating.
[What is Wu Xuan babble about?]
[He's Xu Qinghu's ex-boyfriend? He's Xu Qinghu's ex-boyfriend? Ahhhh! Did I hear it wrong or did I hear it wrong?!]
If the person in the video is him, then this would be funny. He is being called a sucker online, yet he is on a dating show to "chase his wife."
[How does the person in the video resemble him? Gender?]
[Am I still dreaming? Wu Xuan and Xu Qinghu are related. Are you kidding me?]
[Could this be the solution the production team came up with all night? Using Wu Xuan to divert attention? Is this so ridiculous?]
[Although, there's no need to post the video on Yunzhou Holdings' official website. What's the relationship between Wu Xuan and Yunzhou Holdings? Is he an employee or...]
[He can even use the official website, so what kind of relationship could there be? But he says he's Xu Qinghu's boyfriend, how can he prove it?]
Wu Xuan’s performance in the dating variety show is that of a rich second-generation man. His every move is aloof and he seems very difficult to approach.
But he said the person in the video was him. Most people on the Internet were questioning what Xu Qinghu's ex-boyfriend had to do with him since he was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked humble and pitiful.
[Honestly, are you being held hostage by the production team? If so, just blink.]
Wu Xuan seemed to have anticipated that some people would not believe him, so he produced evidence of his relationship with Xu Qinghu in the video. There were videos of them eating together, watching movies together, and even petting cats together. It can be seen that the person in the video was Xu Qinghu, and the two had a good relationship.
As for the cat, it was Lai Fu, whom Wu Xuan had brought to the cottage.
The kitten lay in Xu Qinghu's arms, making cute meows, as if trying to act coquettishly to Xu Qinghu. The latter pinched its furry ears with a faint smile in his eyes, obviously doting on it very much.
As soon as these things were exposed, there was an uproar on the Internet.
No one expected that Wu Xuan could produce so much evidence.
[So, he is really Xu Qinghu's ex-boyfriend?!]
[Holy crap! So, Xu Qinghu isn't someone who despises the poor and loves the rich? If she's like that, why doesn't she just get together with Wu Xuan instead of appearing on a dating show?]
[Didn't you hear what Wu Xuan said? He was the one who broke up with her. It must have been because Xu Qinghu's family was too poor, and his family didn't agree, so they broke up in the end.]
[Ah? That's too bad for Xu Qinghu, isn't it? She has a strong personality and must hate Wu Xuan to death.]
[Upstairs, if you don't need your brain, you can donate it. This is the official account of Yunzhou Holdings. Wu Xuan is still a student. Without his family's permission, can he use the official account to clarify things?]
So, if it’s not because of family, then what is it?
[This isn't the most important thing. The important thing is that Xu Qinghu isn't a gold digger, nor is she someone who despises her ex-boyfriend's material conditions. Yesterday's massive online bullying incident has already caused her irreparable harm!]
[+1, this is already the third time. Every time, at the slightest sign of trouble, they start questioning and insulting Xu Qinghu. Do people online have any brains?!]
I've seen a lot of posts spreading rumors about Xu Qinghu, with lots of reposts and comments. Now her ex-boyfriend has come forward, so you're all just waiting to die!
[Compared to all this, I'm more curious about the real reason why Wu Xuan and Xu Qinghu broke up. Ahhh! I've known for a long time that this guy has bad intentions towards Xu Qinghu!]
Online public opinion changes rapidly, and everyone's attitude has changed 180 degrees. Those who cursed Xu Qinghu seemed to disappear within a few minutes. Some deleted their posts, some changed their avatars and names, as if the harm they caused had never existed.
Some even commented: "Why didn't you tell us earlier that you were in this relationship? Aren't you deliberately misleading netizens? You deserve the criticism."
This message immediately aroused the disgust of countless people, and they all directed their fire at him.
[It's because of people like you on the internet that there's so much cyberbullying going on. People like you deserve to die!]
Wu Xuan’s video is not long, but every question is answered just right.
"I started dating her in college. At the time, she didn't know my family background. It was only after I pestered her that she agreed to date me."
"As for why she usually dresses so casually, everyone knows she's very low-key in college. After we started dating, of course we couldn't have two different styles."
"The main reason is that she doesn't think she's at the stage where she cares about her appearance yet. She wants to save all the money she earns from her part-time job so she can use it when she's in trouble. She usually refuses any gifts I buy her."
"We were in a relationship based on equality and freedom. She never asked me to do anything for her, and she didn't have high demands for material things. She was even very frugal in her life."
"If I explain it this way, many people might say that I kept my relationship with her low-key in order to hide it from my family."
At this point, Wu Xuan paused for a few seconds, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes, "When we first started dating, I did hide it from my family for some reason. When they found out, they did contact Xu Qinghu, and that was the fuse that led to our breakup."
"That's why she said those harsh words when we broke up."
"It's my fault," Wu Xuan lowered his eyes, as if trying hard to control his surging emotions. "I didn't handle the relationship between my family and my lover well. I shouldn't have hidden my true family background. I brought her irreparable harm."
As soon as these words were spoken, the focus of public opinion instantly focused on him.
[Is that really the case? Did you break up because of family pressure?]
[I've guessed it long ago. Wu Xuan comes from a wealthy family, so his family definitely doesn't look down on Xu Qinghu. I thought he was a good man!]
[How abominable! If I were Xu Qinghu, I would scold him too!]
[As expected, no matter how beautiful or talented a person is, they can't easily cross the gap created by class.]
[I have absolutely no sympathy for Wu Xuan. I just feel bad for Xu Qinghu. If Wu Xuan tells her his true identity, she won't accept him at all!]
[Although, Wu Xuan can now use the official account, has he convinced his family? You know, Yunzhou Holdings is not a small business, it is a cutting-edge technology company!]
[What's the point of agreeing now? Doesn't the harm Xu Qinghu suffered still hurt him?] [Why did you hide it from your family? Don't you think Xu Qinghu is easy to bully?]
[I instantly disliked my junior.]
The logo behind the hot search turned red to black, and Wu Xuan's explanation directly transferred all the doubts about Xu Qinghu to himself.
Almost everyone was judging his feelings for Xu Qinghu.
"I came to participate in the dating show just to win her back."
"As for those who spread rumors about her, I've already found someone to collect evidence. No one can get away with hurting her again, including myself."
When it comes to cyberbullying, Wu Xuan's eyes are surprisingly cold.
"My family is no longer an obstacle between us. I came on the show to let her know that my feelings for her have never changed and no obstacle can stop me from returning to her."
"She is not a vain person. If she were, she would not have left me."
He put himself in a very low position, and it was this attitude that made everyone more convinced that Xu Qinghu was the most wronged.
There are also those who spread rumors based on a video, who are even more hateful than Wu Xuan.
[When will keyboard warriors stop being judgemental? They make assumptions about people they don't know. Are they mentally ill?]
[After watching this video, I felt so sorry for Xu Qinghu. Why did they treat her like this?]
[Luckily, Wu Xuan has a conscience and is willing to help her clarify the matter. If he also pretended to be dead, would Xu Qinghu be forced to withdraw from the recording?]
[There's another person I don't even want to mention, but after seeing the video, she started using the cold shoulder on Xu Qinghu. Didn't she think she was a gold digger just because she had some money?]
Is there anything I can't mention? Is it so hard to mention He Shengnian's name? Last night, when I was chatting with Xu Qinghu on the rooftop, I'm sure she said a lot of things that disparaged Xu Qinghu, otherwise why wouldn't she explain anything?
[Lower your head, too low!]
At that time, everyone in the cabin got up one after another, wanting to see how the program team would deal with public opinion.
As a result, as soon as I opened my phone, I found that the online public opinion had reversed.
"What is this?" Ruan Xiaoyu touched the tip of her nose and asked in confusion: "Why is my junior on the trending search?"
Wen Ruoxi and He Shengnian, who were cooking in the kitchen, were stunned for a moment. "What's wrong?"
Wen Ruoxi walked behind Ruan Xiaoyu and asked, "What trending search?"
Ruan Xiaoyu remembered that the production crew didn't allow people to secretly look at their phones, and she immediately wanted to hide her phone. Her eyes flickered as she said, "Nothing, I was just talking nonsense."
Wen Ruoxi didn't say much. She found a corner with her back to the camera and turned on Wu Xuan's video.
After hearing what was said in the video, Wen Ruoxi's face changed drastically and her pupils contracted violently. She turned around and looked at He Shengnian who was still making breakfast. Her throat felt like it was blocked by cotton. "Mr. He, do you want to take a look at the trending searches?" She said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
He Shengnian's eyes flashed with doubt, "What's wrong?"
Wen Ruoxi was about to explain when He Shengnian's phone rang. His subordinate called him.
He nodded slightly to Wen Ruoxi, turned around and went to the garden to talk on the phone. After hearing the message conveyed by his subordinates, the color of his eyes suddenly changed.
"Boss, check out the trending headlines! The young master of the Wu family posted a video, claiming he's Miss Xu's ex-boyfriend."
"What did you say?" He Shengnian's voice suddenly became low.
"Ms. Xu's ex-boyfriend is none other than Wu Xuan. He came to the program specifically to pursue Ms. Xu, and he has already made a full clarification online."
He Shengnian stood there in a daze, thinking he was hallucinating.
Wu Xuan is Xu Qinghu's ex-boyfriend? How is that possible!
No matter how steady He Shengnian was, he was caught off guard by the news.
"Young Master Wu produced a lot of evidence, claiming he was the person in the video. He concealed his identity and dated Miss Xu, which caused unnecessary misunderstandings. He even used the official account of Yunzhou Holdings and said his family no longer objected to his relationship with Miss Xu..."
He Shengnian had no intention of listening to the rest of the words. He took out his phone to open the trending search and immediately saw the names of Wu Xuan and Xu Qinghu.
He clicked on the most popular one, and it was Wu Xuan who appeared in it.
Sitting in the office of Yunzhou Holdings, he slowly recounted the story of his relationship with Xu Qinghu from their love affair to their breakup, blaming all the problems on himself.
The video has become extremely popular and has received comments from over 100,000 people.
How could Xu Qinghu’s ex-boyfriend be Wu Xuan?
Even though He Shengnian was very knowledgeable, he could not have guessed how the situation would develop.
Although he had suspected the ex-boyfriend in the video, the other party was dressed too ordinary, and was extremely humble in front of Xu Qinghu, so he never thought it was Wu Xuan.
How could it be possible between him and Xu Qinghu?
However, reality dealt him a heavy blow, making it impossible for him to maintain his composure.
The heir of Yunzhou Holdings, the young master of the Wu family, is indeed Xu Qinghu's ex-boyfriend. Otherwise, how could the family behind him allow him to jump into the whirlpool of public opinion?
All the things that didn't make sense before now become coherent.
For example, when Xu Qinghu faced him, why was she never discouraged by his family background? Because she had met Wu Xuan, who was of the same class as him.
He saw Xu Qinghu and Wu Xuan coming down from the rooftop twice because they had known each other for a long time and were not strangers who had never met before.
He Shengnian had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and his thoughts were more confused than ever before.
Compared to these, he also remembered his cold treatment of Xu Qinghu during the date, and his questioning of Xu Qinghu on the rooftop... Many memories turned into silver needles piercing his mind, making his vision go black.
Xu Qinghu said that he was greedy for quick success, vulgar and selfish, and that he only used and schemed against him. Is that really the case?
He Shengnian stood there for a long time without moving. If she really thought so, she could just reconcile with Wu Xuan, so why bother to get close to him on purpose.
What Wu Xuan can bring to her is far more than what he can bring to her.
After realizing this, He Shengnian felt a sense of regret he had never felt before.
He still had many questions about Xu Qinghu, but more of them were the guilt he felt after suddenly learning the truth.
If he had been more patient and trusting of Xu Qinghu, would he and Xu Qinghu not have reached this point?
He Shengnian looked at the comments under the video. Some were cursing Wu Xuan, and some were cursing her.
Xu Qinghu's fans and their CP fans were extremely disappointed with his behavior last night.
[Hu Lu was so good to Mr. He, but ended up with this kind of result. I will never believe in love again.]
[Isn't He Shengnian very mature and steady? Weighing the pros and cons at a crucial moment is truly eye-opening. Never believe a man's lies.]
He said he would protect the gourd, but ended up adding insult to injury, pushing Xu Qinghu into a deeper vortex? He's not even as good as Wu Xuan.
[What domineering CEO? I think he's just a coward. It's so ridiculous.]
[As I said, men are very realistic. It is better to believe that the sun rises in the west than to believe them.]
[After this incident, I like Hulu even more. She really deserves it. As for He Xu CP, let's stop here.]
[He Shengnian is not worthy at all!]
He Shengnian lowered his eyelashes and pursed his lips.
"Boss, should we suppress public opinion?" a subordinate messaged him. "There's a lot of talk online about boycotting you and your law firm. I'm worried it'll have a negative impact on the company."
He Shengnian came back to his senses and said in a deep voice, "Suppress this public opinion as soon as possible."
"What about Miss Xu?" The subordinate heard his tone was wrong. "Should we issue a notice explaining that you didn't say anything inappropriate to her on the rooftop?"
As businessmen, the first thing they care about is reputation, and they cannot allow public opinion to affect the operation of the company.
"No need," He Shengnian said coldly, "You don't need to handle this matter."
The subordinate didn't say much, just said: "The old house seems to be very curious about Miss Xu, do you want to go back?"
"We'll talk later." He Shengnian didn't reply, but simply looked towards the stairs. Xu Qinghu's work schedule was almost up. He didn't care about the online rumors; he just wanted to see Xu Qinghu as soon as possible to confirm her current thoughts.
He couldn't sleep until late last night, and kept thinking about the time he spent with Xu Qinghu. He realized that he cared about her more than he thought.
He also thought that if public opinion still could not be suppressed today, he would no longer stand idly by, but let his subordinates come forward to solve the problem directly, as the last thing he did for Xu Qinghu after they parted ways.
However, it turned out that Xu Qinghu didn't need him as much as he thought, and he didn't understand Xu Qinghu as well as he thought.
Thinking of this, He Shengnian's breathing stagnated, and unprecedented regret made his heart feel a continuous pain.
He realized once again that he had completely underestimated his feelings for Xu Qinghu.
At this time, footsteps were heard upstairs.
He Shengnian turned around and opened the door, thinking he would see Xu Qinghu, but instead he met Wu Xuan's gaze.
He stood on the stairs, looking down at him with coldness in his eyes.
He Shengnian could see his hostility, he was deliberately supporting Xu Qinghu.
He used the official account of Yunzhou Holdings just to tell him and everyone that Xu Qinghu was not only not vain, but also had a high-quality suitor like him.
No one can look down on her.
Including him, He Shengnian.
