Li Qian nodded quickly, indicating that she would definitely do as Chang Jing said.
She really didn't dare to provoke Chang Jing again. This man's methods were too clever. She shouldn't have done such a heinous thing because of her confidence.
The next day, Li Qian published a long article on the forum, apologizing in detail and clarifying all the rumors.
She also urged other people not to believe the misleading rumors spread by malicious individuals, which could cause trouble for innocent people.
Chang Jing sneered when he saw Li Qian's post.
Such people commit numerous evil deeds in their daily lives, but once exposed, they immediately turn their backs on you; they are truly cunning and treacherous.
However, after my verbal reprimand yesterday, Li Qian should behave herself for a while to avoid trouble.
The person who started the rumors came forward to clarify the situation, and Chang Jing was finally able to get out of the predicament a little.
However, Chang Jing noticed that the conversations about him and Fang Yu had decreased.
However, the discussion did not stop, because the big news about him and Bai Mei had replaced the previous rumors and become the biggest gossip!
And this huge scandal was planted by Bai Mei herself!
If Bai Mei were just an ordinary girl, it wouldn't matter much. At most, she would be teased by busybodies, but after a month or two, the storm would pass.
However, Bai Mei's identity was not ordinary, and no one knew which resourceful alumnus had managed to uncover Bai Mei's family background.
Her father, who was a police station chief, her mother, who was a real estate company president, and even her grandfather Bai Liancheng's past experiences of carrying guns and cannons before going into business were all exposed.
This is a major event where a wealthy heiress speaks out for love.
Isn't this even more dramatic than the soap opera plot of "Qiong Yao" TV series?
Now there are even more onlookers.
The popular topics on the campus forum have gradually shifted from the previous sentiment that Chang Jing was a scumbag to various versions of his love story with Bai Mei.
Several groups of onlookers, including those who were envious, jealous, slanderous, and pessimistic, posted discussions online.
Things have developed to this point, which is truly beyond what we would have expected.
The sensitive status of a young lady like Bai Mei is indeed a hot topic of discussion among young men and women in this era.
Some people envy Bai Mei for finding such a good boyfriend, some are jealous of Chang Jing's good luck, and some even slander Chang Jing behind his back, asking if he really deserves a girl with such excellent qualities as Bai Mei.
Some people also posted that they were not optimistic about this newly formed campus couple, predicting that they would break up soon.
Bai Mei felt ashamed, angry, and somewhat confused as she read these comments.
She and Chang Jing are not a couple at all, but everyone in the school thinks so. Is it better to leave this misunderstanding unresolved?
If I were to proactively clarify, wouldn't that be admitting that all my previous posts on the forum were just showing off? That would be too embarrassing!
At the same time, Chang Jing, as the male lead, also faces considerable pressure.
After seeing the news that Bai Mei had become his girlfriend, many girls expressed their dissatisfaction in private messages. Some even cried and said that they had always had a crush on him and hoped that Chang Jing would not be taken away by Bai Mei.
This put Chang Jing in a difficult position. He and Bai Mei originally had no connection, but now, thanks to that misunderstanding, he had been thrust into the spotlight.
In order to avoid these troubles again, Chang Jing decided to take the initiative to contact Bai Mei and discuss with her how to resolve this misunderstanding.
When Bai Mei received Chang Jing's call, she felt both surprised and nervous. She knew that the two of them had to clear up this misunderstanding during their meeting, but wouldn't it be even more awkward if Chang Jing saw through her thoughts?
Bai Mei took a deep breath and mustered her courage to ask Chang Jing to meet her at a restaurant near Sun Yat-sen University.
The atmosphere between the two was somewhat awkward when they met.
Chang Jing cut to the chase: "Bai Mei, I think we need to clarify things about what happened before. I don't want you to become the target of public criticism because of a misunderstanding. If you agree, we can post a statement together on the forum to clarify that we are not in a romantic relationship, which can solve a lot of your troubles."
Bai Mei was somewhat disappointed. She had thought Chang Jing would show some reluctance, but she didn't expect his attitude to be so rational.
She suddenly felt a mix of amusement and exasperation: Did this Chang Jing really not understand, or was he just pretending not to?
I clearly expressed that I didn't care, so why is he still bothered by it? Actually, things are pretty good as they are now!
Who knows, I might even be able to "go with the flow" and rise to the top!
But why is this blockhead in such a hurry to clarify?
She suppressed her disappointment and nodded reluctantly, saying, "You're right. We shouldn't have let the misunderstanding escalate. Issuing a clarification statement is the best way to resolve this issue."
“Then it’s settled.” Chang Jing nodded. “I’ll issue the statement. Just take a look at the details and let me know if there are any changes you need. We must resolve this as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more serious the consequences will be.”
Bai Mei looked at Chang Jing, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She had been secretly in love with Chang Jing for a long time, but now she had to deny her relationship with Chang Jing. This feeling was too painful.
However, to avoid further trouble, they could only watch helplessly as Chang Jing issued that clarification statement.
The next day, Chang Jing posted a clarification statement on the forum, stating that he and Bai Mei were just ordinary friends and hoping that everyone would stop spreading false information.
Bai Mei also replied below, reiterating that there was no romantic relationship between her and Chang Jing, and hoping that there would be no more misunderstandings like this in the future.
The clarification statement indeed caused a huge uproar.
Many people are discussing whether the two were actually not a couple at all.
When Bai Mei so forcefully declared on the forum that she was Chang Jing's girlfriend, was it all a lie?
Some people say that the two are simply denying it. There's clearly a spark between them, so how could they just be ordinary friends?
However, since Chang Jing and Bai Mei have both made their positions clear, fewer and fewer people continue to suspect and spread rumors.
This sensational topic that rocked the campus gradually cooled down after the two issued their clarification statements.
Bai Mei finally extricated herself from this misunderstanding, but she harbored an indescribable sense of loss in her heart.
She knew that her relationship with Chang Jing was destined to remain just that of friends, but she still couldn't help but hold onto a sliver of hope. This incident shattered all her illusions and made her realize that it was impossible for the two of them to go beyond friendship.
Seeing Bai Mei's somewhat distraught appearance, Chang Jing couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
He knew, of course, that Bai Mei had a crush on him, but he could only maintain their current friendship.
The misunderstanding caused them a lot of trouble, and now that things have settled down, they can never go back to the way things were.
Chang Jing knew that from now on, their relationship was destined to undergo some subtle changes, and he only hoped that it would not affect their long-standing friendship.
