"What's wrong? Can't people speak the truth?"
“I worry about my whole family’s livelihood, and I worry about Lin Chu’s career. What have his brothers done!”
“Back when Lin Chu was down on her luck, she wouldn’t even lend me 500 yuan. Was I wrong?”
Faced with the accusations from the two male guests, Su Lin suddenly became emotional.
It was as if they had found an outlet for their emotions.
He grabbed Lin Chu, whose face was pale, and unleashed a torrent of abuse.
"Aren't all men like this?!"
"He calls everyone 'brother' outside, treating all those fair-weather friends like good people, but he can't stand his own wife and find fault with everything she does!"
"All I did was throw away a box of qingtuan!"
"You men think your brothers are more important than your wives, right?!"
"What a good brother! How could he not even lend you 500 yuan back then!"
Upon hearing Su Lin's words, the live broadcast chat room instantly erupted with comments.
A large number of viewers who sympathized with Su Lin voiced their support.
"That's so true! All men are the same; they think everyone else is better and more important than their wives. As for his cronies, I can't even be bothered to mention them!"
"Hehe, Yang Lin and Li Shuang are really addicted to lecturing like fathers. They should take care of their own affairs first!"
"Didn't Yang Lin say that he has five phones and five accounts, and each account has reached the maximum number of friends? Friends are more important than his wife. That's what Yang Lin said in a TV interview!"
"That's right, that's right. Yang Lin even said that it's hard to repair a strained friendship, but a wife can coax it back to normal. Hehehe, what a pathetic man!"
"I don't believe Lin Chu is completely without fault for bringing Lin Chu and Su Lin's marriage to this point!"
"It's obvious that Su Lin is really heartbroken. Her husband didn't even tell her when he bought a box of qingtuan (a type of glutinous rice dumpling), and instead of asking her for money, he borrowed money from his friends. He doesn't even trust his own wife!"
"Haha, men really know how to protect each other!"
The sudden turn of events completely overshadowed the impact of the qingtuan incident.
Yang Lin and Li Shuang's lecturing quickly became a trending topic.
Some busybodies even compiled a video clip of Yang Lin's previous interview statement that his friends were more important than his wife, and promoted it on various online platforms, making it the most talked-about topic!
At this very moment, on the filming location.
Yang Lin and Li Shuang were both thoroughly embarrassed by Su Lin's retorts.
He could only look helplessly at Lin Chu.
At this point, they were powerless to speak up for him.
As Lin Chu listened to Su Lin repeatedly slander her friend, she suddenly recalled everything Su Lin had done in the past.
He offended all his close friends and brothers, and then ostracized them.
To isolate and leave oneself helpless.
In this life, he would absolutely not allow Su Lin to continue slandering his friends.
He immediately looked up at Su Lin for the first time and refuted her tearful complaints.
“Since you’re bringing up what happened back then, I have to clear my friend’s name.”
“The purpose of participating in the program is to address the issues in your and my marriage; you shouldn’t be here slandering my friend.”
Upon hearing this, Su Lin immediately scoffed disdainfully.
"You call that a friend?"
"If it weren't for me, would you have been able to develop so smoothly from your debut to where you are today?"
"Besides me, what have your friends done?!"
Lin Chu no longer held back, looked at Su Lin seriously, and spoke firmly.
"What they did was make me a singer."
"When I debuted and participated in variety shows, my classmates from university who were in a band with me supported my creative work, helped me refine my live performances, and accompanied me step by step until the very last step of the talent show."
"When I released my first song, they helped me promote it, helped me create my first fan group on Baidu Tieba and various online platforms, and helped me organize fan support activities."
"Without my brothers and friends, I wouldn't have made the choice to pursue a music career."
"At that time, Su Lin was preparing to transfer to a four-year university."
"All the money I earned from participating in talent shows and performing outside of school was used to support your studies and cover your living expenses."
"Back then, without my friends by my side, not only would I not have been able to become a singer, but you also wouldn't have been able to graduate smoothly and peacefully."
Are you going to deny that?
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned strange, and they all looked at Su Lin.
Su Lin was about to retort, but when she met Lin Chu's unprecedentedly firm expression, she immediately fell silent.
The lie that was already on the tip of my tongue suddenly became hard to utter.
He immediately replaced it with a nonchalant snort.
"Well, that's what you said, that you wanted me to go to school without any worries, not that I forced you to give me money for tuition and living expenses."
"I also said I would help you manage your fan group and support activities."
"Didn't I accompany you to the audition later, help you get your clothes, and prepare your things?"
"These were all recorded on camera when the talent show aired!"
"You can't erase what I've done!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Chu didn't pause at all, just stared at her calmly and spoke decisively.
"That's because you used your girlfriend's name to cry and make a scene at the school, forcing my classmates and band friends to hand over the management rights of the fan group."
"It was you who hysterically yelled and kicked my brother out of the fan club."
There are five fan groups and two support groups in total.
"Before I participated in the finals, before I became famous after releasing my first song, my friends were quietly taking care of everything."
"You call them bad friends, then you cry and make a scene to snatch all the fruits of their labor into your own hands."
"So you're saying my friend did nothing, but you did everything?"
He wouldn't clash with Su Lin in front of the live stream for any other reason, much less argue with her.
After all, the cyberbullying I experienced in my previous life is still fresh in my mind!
He couldn't leave Su Lin any leverage, nor could he give those online trolls any angle to attack him.
But now it involves the reputation of former brothers and friends.
I must clear their names!
In his previous life, he chose to abandon and distance himself from his brothers and friends because of marriage and love.
By the time you regret it, it's already too late.
In this life, I must find myself again and find my friendships again!
As soon as he finished speaking, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding! A divorced man should cherish his brotherhood even more. Host, please complete the mission and take the first brave step to uphold brotherhood!]
[Ding! System notification: A man should never abandon past friendships for a romantic relationship. To become a better version of yourself, stay with the brothers who have come this far!]
Lin Chu was touched when she heard the system's notification.
Over the years, for the sake of his family and marriage, he has lost far more than just the friendship with his brothers; he has lost himself even more.
Now, it's time to find myself again, and to find my brothers again!
Su Lin was taken aback when she heard Lin Chu dare to contradict her on the show.
For so many years, she has always been the one who has the final say at home, and Lin Chu has never dared to contradict her. Now, she is actually making him feel embarrassed in public for the sake of his friends.
Ignoring the strange looks from others, Su Lin still stubbornly snorted.
"Fine, it was all your brothers who did it, then go find them, why are you coming to me!"
"Haha, such a good friend, refusing to lend 500 yuan when in trouble, that's really remarkable!!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chu immediately came to her senses.
"you……"
Ring ring!
Just as I was about to speak, my phone suddenly rang.
He frowned and looked down; it was Wang Yang calling!
