Public opinion has shifted, and both casual observers and fans are waiting for Zhao Lu to respond.
"Damn it!" With a crisp crack, the white porcelain cup shattered. Zhao Lu's originally beautiful face was now contorted with rage, as if she had seen her father's killer.
Her agent was a frail-looking man who carefully avoided the shards of porcelain scattered on the floor, his eyes flashing with disdain as he watched her.
He didn't hide his disdain, and Zhao Lu saw it clearly. In an instant, her eyes reddened. Staring at her manager, Zhao Lu fiercely questioned him, "Why are you still standing here! Don't you know you should be dealing with this?! What can you do if I fall?! You useless piece of trash!"
As she spoke, she walked over aggressively, raising her hand to slap this usually weak man.
Unfortunately, now that Zhao Lu was no longer of any use, the man showed her no mercy. He said in an almost mocking tone, "You really think I didn't know about you pretending to be a high school student to take photos before? I just turned a blind eye. It's the same this time. If you had succeeded, you could have beaten me to death here and I would have cleaned up your mess. What a pity."
A foot clad in black leather shoes kicked away a large shard of porcelain: "Too bad you failed, and you got caught red-handed. Gu Yu has her eye on you. What? Why are you so surprised? Don't you know? Oh, right, you little stars have no idea how deep the water runs in the company. Let me tell you."
Seeing the obvious malice in the other person's eyes, Zhao Lu took two steps back in fear. The man, however, didn't care and continued, "You think Gu Yu is an artist under Yuwen Entertainment? You're wrong. He's the real owner of Yuwen Entertainment." Zhao Lu's eyes widened, her pupils shrinking. The man continued, "Now that Yuwen and Chaoyang are at odds, if Chaoyang wants to protect the others, it will definitely have to abandon you. Don't you understand?"
The man crossed his arms and sneered, "You're already a discarded pawn." He turned and left, then turned to the people inside and said, "Guess when those photos of you climbing into other people's beds will be released? When will the company's termination notice arrive?"
Filled with malice, the agent left, leaving Zhao Lu alone, staring blankly at the shards of porcelain on the floor. After a long while, she slumped to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
It's not pleasant to squander a winning hand. With the title of one of the "Four Little Actresses," her future should have been bright if she had worked hard. Unfortunately, she chose a different path.
Just as the agent said, there was no news about Zhao Lu, and gradually even her fans who originally supported her fell silent, their doubts growing.
Not long after, news broke that Zhao Lu, one of the "Four Little Actresses," was traveling to a hotel in different cars driven by different CEOs. There were pictures to prove it, which stunned many onlookers.
"Lily: I feel offended."
"Poor lily, why must it suffer like this?"
"This is disgusting! I'm unfollowing you. I even trusted you and waited for you to speak up. Now look at you, do you even deserve it?"
"I can't believe I've become a fan of this rubbish! It's disgusting, thank you. [Goodbye smile]"
"It's disgusting. They're petty and narrow-minded, and they even tried to smear our brother. Have some shame."
"There's nothing more to say. You don't deserve it. I'm unfollowing you."
"I feel so sorry for Ye Chu and Gu Yu. Is this woman out of her mind? Does she have to accept someone's confession from afar? And she even dragged my daughter into it! As a mother fan, I've never been so angry! I'm so furious! And she even made sarcastic remarks and slandered my daughter! Ugh!"
"Fish fans are equally furious! They've made veiled criticisms, saying my idol's behavior is absolutely disgusting! Thank you, I was really disgusted. [Smiling goodbye]"
This led to a surge in posts using these phrases as memes on social media, such as: "I was confessed to today, but I rejected them. I hope they won't hurt me a few years later?" and "Looking at the lilies at home, I have mixed feelings. I added some water to their vase. They've been wronged."
Ye Chu watched the changing events online and could easily guess who was behind it. She smiled as she saw the message "I'll be back tomorrow." Gu, the movie star, was really capricious, but she liked his domineering attitude just the way he was.
Some people think that Zhao Lu's incident was just a passing phase. After all, people in the entertainment industry forget things quickly, and they'll probably forget about it in a day or two when new gossip emerges.
But clearly, Zhao Lu has run into a brick wall this time. Her incident has been trending on social media for a week, and the buzz hasn't died down. The reason is simple: some netizens seem keen to dig up dirt on her, releasing new juicy stories every now and then.
For countless netizens, this has become an additional daily routine: checking Weibo's trending topics to see if there are any updates on Zhao Lu's scandals.
After a week, when you count everything, wow, this person has done so many bad things, and quite a few minor celebrities have been forced to leave the entertainment industry because of her.
Looking at the revelations from these so-called enthusiastic netizens, Ye Chu knew in her heart that it was probably Gu Yu's doing.
After retrieving her things and going downstairs, Ye Chu realized that Chang Ji had stopped living there after Gu Yu returned, so she usually had to go over for meals. Looking at the exquisite kitchen and recalling the dusty cookbook on the table, Ye Chu's mind swung between getting free meals and learning to cook, but ultimately, getting free meals easily won out.
With cheerful steps, carrying tangerines, she entered someone else's house. At first, she was a little reserved, but now she felt like it was her second home and was completely at ease.
I don't know how Gu Yu's cooking skills are so good. He seems more like a pampered young master who never lifts a finger. It feels like he should have a servant to help him get dressed, let alone cook.
"How come you're so good at cooking?" Ye Chu asked, puzzled. "I've tried to learn, but I just can't seem to get it right."
“My mom is very busy with work and she basically doesn’t eat at home for three meals a day. She also doesn’t have time to prepare food for me, so I have to cook for myself.” Gu Yu put a piece of meat on her plate. “At first, I couldn’t even cut vegetables properly. I cut carrots into big chunks, the potatoes weren’t cooked, and the greens were full of oil… I gradually got better.”
Ye Chu looked at him with starry eyes while holding her rice bowl, thinking that Gu Yu, who had been learning to cook little by little since he was a child, was even more handsome. She swallowed what was in her mouth and said, "Then, Mr. Gu, can you teach me?"
"Cooking?"
"Yes!" Ye Chu nodded, "I can't keep coming to your place for meals, it's too embarrassing." She had just been enjoying the free meals, but now she had changed her tune.
“You don’t have to learn, I’ll cook for you for the rest of my life,” Gu Yu said. Ye Chu looked at the serious expression on his face and knew that this man meant what he said.
Her ears turned red, and Ye Chu suppressed the "okay" that was on the tip of her tongue: "I can try to make it for you, if you're busy with work." After saying that, she lowered her head, her face still red, and remained silent.
