Chapter 140 You Are Just So Good
Once things get out of hand, many things will get out of control. Fang Xin was busy filming and ignored the matter.
The filming had just finished that day and would be almost finished in a few days. He was called to the other side by the director for a talk.
"The director asked Fang Xin to come in for a talk. Is it about the incident that was posted online?"
"It's hard to say. I didn't expect Fang Xin to look like a decent person, but in fact he is an unfilial son."
Fang Xin was tired of hearing these words, so she turned a deaf ear and followed the director into the lounge.
There were only two of them in the lounge. The director was slow to turn around and face Fang Xin, and it was obvious that he had something to hide.
"Director, you can say whatever you want to say. It doesn't matter to me."
The director turned around with a complicated look in his eyes. "I know you are a good actor with good abilities, but in this entertainment industry, character is also important. Many people are quickly eliminated because of their bad character. Do you understand?"
Fang Xin had a blank expression on his face, as if the recent events had completely sucked away his spirit. He rubbed his hands and spoke slowly, "I didn't delay the crew. I have my own plans. Please don't worry about this, director."
He left the set with heavy steps. There were only a few fans who usually gathered outside the door today. They looked sad, not because something happened, but because they saw that Fang Xin didn't look well, and felt that this incident had indeed affected Fang Xin quite a bit.
"Xinxin, we believe you."
"Yes, we believe in you and have been your fans for so long. We can't just give up on you because of a little trouble!"
"Don't be afraid, we will do our best to help you with anything, and we will never let those idiots mess things up!"
"Yes, yes, we are behind you. Don't worry. Just take a good rest, okay?"
For the first time, Fang Xin did not leave the place quickly. He looked at the faces that were worried about him. They felt sorry for themselves and were worried that something might happen to him.
Fang Xin felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes. She then bowed deeply. She didn't know how long she bowed, but she only knew that there was no sound around her.
"Thank you, I won't let you down."
At night, Fang Xin checked his phone. It had been a week since the incident happened, but the popularity of the incident had increased instead of decreased, and the traffic was increasing like crazy, with a trend that was bound to pull him down.
"You really don't need me?" Xu Shi'an sat beside him and gently covered him with the blanket.
Fang Xin stared out the window for a long time without saying a word. He didn't want to give it another chance. Even if he was covered in wounds and exposed his past pain to others, he didn't care.
He had thought that his so-called father would only hold out for a few days at most, but he had no idea that he was deliberately trying to drag him down with him. If that was the case, no one would have an easy time.
"Yes, I need the navy."
He did not call Chen Xian for help, nor did he discuss it with Shen Yaojie. He wanted to make everything clear by himself. After all, his fans had done so much for him.
Replies can be seen at midnight every day, as well as posts defending Fang Xin. Everyone is doing their best to bring public opinion back on track.
He seems to have never been able to protect his fans, and always lets others take his place.
He slowly took out his mobile phone, signaled Xu Shian to leave temporarily, and started the live broadcast.
As soon as the live broadcast started, the number of people in the room suddenly increased, causing the screen to lag a lot.
Going live under such circumstances would undoubtedly give people something to talk about and start a war of words. Sure enough, there were a lot of sarcastic comments on the screen at the beginning.
"After disappearing for so long, you finally come out to speak. Have you forgotten your roots now that you have someone to back you up?"
"Being a gay is already a huge disrespect to your parents, and now you don't even give your father money to spend. Why don't you just die, you ungrateful bastard?"
"How disgusting! Without your father, you wouldn't be where you are today, you idiot!"
Fang Xin's eyes were dull, and he felt calm after seeing these comments. It seemed that these words were not mocking him, but mocking his father who did nothing.
"Hello everyone, I'm Fang Xin, long time no see." Fang Xin forced a smile, trying her best to look perfect in the camera.
"I believe everyone is very curious about what happened recently. I have been sorting out my own feelings during this period of time. After all, what I am going to say later may be a little funny."
Fang Xin took out a photo of himself and his mother and displayed it on the screen. "This is my mother. She is a very beautiful and gentle woman. I love her very much. However, the only regret is that we don't have a photo with my father."
"No, is this an attempt to gain sympathy? Does his mother know that he is disobedient and unfilial?"
"You know what, he looks more like his mother. I saw Fang Xin's father two days ago, and they don't look that much alike. Could he not be his biological son?"
Some people were still attacking in the barrage, while others started to shift the topic, but Fang Xin simply ignored them.
"I went to sweep my mother's grave last week." After he finished speaking, the barrage of curses suddenly stopped for a moment, and then he continued, "My mother died of overwork in order to raise me."
"You may think I'm making this up. In all my resumes and academic records, I wrote that I was a single parent because I had no impression of my father since I was a child. He abandoned me and my mother, and my mother worked hard to raise me. The year she passed away, I did the most despicable thing. You all should know that I fell in love with Xu Shi'an and even came to City A to be an actor for him."
"There is a lot of information about me on the Internet, and even more has come out recently. There are also many revelations. Words are not enough, but the black and white words are ironclad evidence. When I was a child, I probably could not have expected something like this to happen today, and the information cannot be falsified on the spur of the moment."
Fang Xin smiled, and the corners of his eyes were visibly red, but he never shed a tear. He put the photo away and said, "I want him to get out, I really want him to get out. If someone wants to stop being my fan or scold me, I can understand, but please don't scold my mother anymore. It has nothing to do with her."
Yes, the trend started on the Internet has already cursed both humans and animals, almost cursing Fang Xin's entire family.
I don't know when, the barrage of comments was no longer filled with sarcasm and malicious language, but fans showed a lot of love on it. Sometimes, silence is also a kind of power.
He turned his head away from the camera, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and when he returned to the camera again, he was still the glamorous Fang Xin.
When the live broadcast ended, Xu Shi'an leaned against the door and looked at Fang Xin quietly. He saw that Fang Xin was in a daze, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
The words just said may not sound like anything to others, but they exposed Fang Xin's scars to others, which was the most embarrassing part of him.
Fang Xin felt some pain in her heart. She had not experienced these things in her childhood. She was obviously very happy, but now she felt the suffocation and pain she had felt at that time. She saw her mother's body, the face of the debt collector, and her so-called pursuit of true love.
As expected, a lot of information about Fang Xin's childhood was leaked online. Many people sold a lot of information to the media in order to gain attention. Seeing that public opinion was about to turn around, all of Xu Shi'an's marketing accounts and water armies were dispatched.
"He really is a single parent... But that doesn't mean his father didn't raise him. What if he just wanted to gain sympathy and didn't want to spend money to tell a lie?"
"The person above is really stupid. Last time Fang Xin said that the evidence is in black and white. From the time he was madly pursuing Xu Shi'an, it was obvious that he had a love-starved personality. After losing his mother, he didn't even think about looking for his father. He just wanted to be with the person he loved."
"Why can't we falsify data temporarily? We can do that here."
"It looks like you're going to be scrutinized. Do you want to see the handwriting and ink on the picture? They've faded along with the paper. Do you still think it's fake?"
"You are focusing on the wrong thing. He wants his father's hand in exchange for 10 million! How vicious! Are the little angels in your hearts broken?"
"I am also a single parent and have never been raised by my father, but my father and my mother broke up peacefully. If he ran away and left my mother unaware of anything and started to take on the responsibility of raising me and not paying for child support, I would hate him to death. One hand is nothing. I would wish him dead. He deserves to die for killing my only mother!"
"Come on, come on, those who have been betrayed by their fathers, come and say a few words. Fang Xin is a normal person, not a god. You don't have seven emotions and six desires, love, hate, infatuation, anger, don't you? You are all saints, I can't argue with you."
"You are all talking too superficially. Let me give you an example. How would you feel if your loved one died because of a stranger?"
Suddenly, everything seemed to be explained. Many people stopped talking nonsense, and the navy also gradually increased their trend, talking about Fang Xin's character, deeds, career, and abilities. The topic that originally scolded Fang Xin gradually became less popular, and what increased was Fang Xin's blood and sweat history.
Fang Xin glanced at her phone, and the public opinions on it gradually pushed the good ones to the top and suppressed the bad ones.
The silent sigh meant that he was not very happy, but at least it relieved the pressure on his fans. If he had not been so careless and been tricked by that man, he would not have exposed all these to everyone.
It's not a good feeling to be pitied by others, but he still did it.
Xu Shi'an prepared the meal, and the two of them sat at the dining table and ate their food in silence.
"I'm getting better. It's okay." Xu Shi'an poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Fang Xin. He hadn't eaten properly in the past few days, and sometimes he even didn't eat at all.
Xu Shi'an certainly couldn't tolerate him wasting himself like this, so she would watch him eat every day, and coax him to eat if he refused.
"Am I different from what you imagined?" He poked the rice, looked at the food in the bowl, and asked without thinking.
The air seemed to be stagnant. Fang Xin did not dare to look up at Xu Shi'an. He opened his mouth but it seemed as if something was stuck in his throat and he was unable to utter a single word.
He heard the sound of Xu Shi'an getting up, which made him even more lost. As expected, once the filter is broken, one will still feel disgusted.
Xu Shi'an sat beside him, took the bowl of rice from his hand, and fed Fang Xin with a spoon.
When the spoon touched his lips, Fang Xin was stunned, his eyes as helpless as a newborn baby, "You..."
"Eat."
Because of this incident, Fang Xin became sentimental. If his father had not appeared, he would have always been optimistic, lived under Xu Shi'an's wings, and would never have been exposed to these bad things.
But fate did not intend for Fang Xin to see, encounter, and even experience it.
At that time, An's heart was entangled by countless thorny vines, and even his hands were shaking as he fed him. Whenever he wanted to say something, the words would always get stuck in his throat, and he could neither swallow nor speak.
"You are good, you are very good. It is my fault. I should have promised you a long time ago and hidden you at home, not letting you go out to face the wind and rain."
