Meanwhile.
Several days passed. The online rumours about Yu Ting’s alleged pregnancy did not die down due to no one attending to them, instead they slowly escalated. Netizens were puzzled as to why Yu Ting remained silent on this issue, neither confirming nor denying the rumors. No one knew what she was waiting for.
Amidst the rampant speculation, the time for the final episode of the talent show had come. Yu Ting, who had not used electronic devices for days, nestled by the computer early to watch the broadcast of the talent show. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
A cup of honey tea, provided by Lu Nanchen to soothe pregnancy-related nausea, was placed on the bedside table, along with a fruit platter.
After finishing his work, Lu Nanchen joined Yu Ting in bed, watching the show with her: "The final episode?"
"Mmm." Yu Ting’s eyes were glued to the screen, a small smile curving her lips, her face radiating ambition and expectation.
She has been waiting for this day.
The program lasted for two hours, from two o’clock in the afternoon on Saturday until well past four. The intense online discussion began the moment the show aired and continued even after it finished.
"Ahhhh, good luck to the final six selections, I look forward to their future."
"Wei Qinghe was super impressive! His climax part was absolutely mind-blowing!"
"We love you, Qingqing!"
...
While Wei Qinghe’s new fans continued their outcry, there were also the old fans who have liked him since his acting days. They were crying tears of joy: "Sniff, gold will eventually shine, finally Qingqing isn’t getting scolded anymore! So happy."
...
"What’s the deal with that woman? While everyone else is praising Wei Qinghe, she’s the only one belittling him. All his months of hard work reduced to nothing, who does she think she is?"
"Exactly, not only did she belittle Qingqing but she praised Zhang Tianbin as well. What’s going on? Is Zhang Tianbin taking unfair advantage? Deliberate much?"
"I can’t even. Meng Jin never behaved this way before. Why was she like this on stage? It was cringeworthy, even on Qingqing’s behalf."
...
"Hold up, did any of you hear what President Yu said? The last two words seemed to be muted. Was anyone there who can tell us what happened?"
"What’s going on now? Meng Jin criticizes in public, then Ms. Yu comes to the rescue like a hero?"
"Someone please give us a full rundown of what happened."
"What’s there to sort out? Zhang Tianbin was just being a sour grape about my Qingqing, He probably plotted a smear campaign against him under the radar. What else could it be, huh? A classic ex boyfriend."
...
The issue continued to escalate till around eight or nine at night, inciting a blazing debate online. Some accused Meng Jin of irresponsibility for deliberately stoking controversies and showing no consideration for Wei Qinghe on stage, putting him in an awkward situation. Others alleged that Zhang Tianbin acted out of jealousy by getting Meng Jin to act as such behind the scenes.
This successfully incited a feud between the fans of Wei Qinghe and Zhang Tianbin.
"Your beloved idol is disgusting, doing such things."
"Bullshit, our Bingbing would never stoop to such lowliness. Nasty people have a nasty perspective on everything."
"How then would you justify Meng Jin’s weird behaviour? Is it because Qingqing isn’t human while your idol is? He’s worked hard for months, even strained his voice from practicing singing so much, to be belittled to nothing thanks to her?"
Yu Ting stayed in front of the computer, messaged Wei Qinghe not to worry about this matter, assuring him that she would handle it. When the issue’s popularity began to surge even further, Yu Ting finally took action, posting the carefully drafted statement and ultrasound scan she’d prepared several days before.
