Chapter 93: Lawyer’s Letter
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The content of Tan Ming’s post was simple and clear.
[h.e.l.lo, everyone. I’m Tan Ming. Firstly, I’m very sorry for taking up public forums with my personal matters. Secondly, I solemnly announce that it is impossible that Jiang Huai and I are or will ever become lovers.
In order to earn clicks, some media outlets just rely on a few photos to say whatever they want and fabricate rumors. They don’t adhere to the reporters’ principle of truthful reporting at all. As for those newspapers and media outlets who spread rumors that Jiang Huai is my sugar daddy or that we have an underground relationship, you will be receiving a lawyer’s letter later. I will seek legal justice against the person who spread the rumors.]
As soon as Tan Ming made this statement, her fans instantly gained confidence.
[Did you see that? The person in question has responded! There’s no sort of relationship. Some people want to pin all kinds of blame on our An’an!]
[A lawyer’s letter for spreading rumors. It’s still the An’an I like. I can’t tolerate marketing accounts that spread rumors! I support An’an to the end!]
[What’s the use of a lawyer’s letter? It’s just a warning letter. If you have any guts, call the police. You’re just doing this to shut the audience’s mouths. If you’re really so stubborn, why didn’t you call the police immediately?!]
A small number of people who were watching the commotion clamored that Tan Ming’s statement was a lie.
When Tan Si saw on the Internet that Tan Ming’s reputation had been attacked this time, she was in a good mood. Such scandals had always been easy to spread and difficult to clarify. Even if Tan Ming and Jiang Huai called the police to deal with it in the end, many netizens were more inclined to believe the rumors that could satisfy their curiosity. When it came to surviving in the entertainment industry, not many people could escape unscathed.
This was not the first time the private detectives had worked together. They had always covered their tracks well. Their messages were sent from anonymous addresses. Even if they were sent, they would be stuffed into the newspaper office in the middle of the night. Tan Si was not worried that this matter would implicate her at all. Right now, she was just a spectator watching a good show. Since she was not having a good time, everyone could forget about having a good time!
About half an hour after Tan Ming posted the statement, Jiang Huai also posted a Weibo post. The content of the doc.u.ment was a concrete retaliation against those clamoring netizens.
[Thank you everyone for being so concerned about my love life. Opening an entertainment company has always been my drcam. Actually, when I first debuted, I mentioned it once in an interview. Perhaps no one noticed. Now, opening a company was a carefully-considered decision I made. If I wanted to open it for anyone, it would be for myself.
Therefore, those posts about sugar daddies, secret and improper relationships are all rumors! An’an calls me brother, and I’ve always treated An’an as my sister. We definitely won’t have any feelings for each other than sibling’s love! An’an is kind and soft-hearted. She chose to just send lawyer’s letters. If this matter had only involved me, it’s fine. But since I’ve dragged innocent people into it, I can only choose to call the police!]
As soon as Jiang Huai’s att.i.tude came out, he turned around and asked someone from the company to bring An’an to the police station to report the case.
As the saying went, the bird that sticks out gets shot. There were many media outlets that released relevant information, so it was impossible to tackle all of them. They were only targeting the few biggest newspapers and media outlets. It was not a big matter, and it did not cause too bad an impact. After the police investigated clearly, although they only fined and detained them for a few days, Tan Ming and Jiang Huai’s original intention was simply to make an example out of them so that others would be afraid next time.
Artists in the entertainment industry were all public figures. It was common for them to have rumors about them, and it was even more common for them to be involved in scandals. It was not the kind of situation that would have a horrible impact or affect their career. They rarely sent lawyers’ letters or even made a fuss to the extent of calling the police.
[In the past, there were also rumors about Brother Huai, but Brother Huai ignored them. There are usually two trends in public opinion. One is that there’s no evidence in the aftermath, and the trendiness will subside as the rumors die down. The other is that there will be even more explosive news released later. The popularity will continue to rise. Very few people will immediately respond as soon as something happens. This is the first time I’ve seen Brother Huai’s att.i.tude so tough.]
[It’s all over! The two parties involved replied so firmly. Are you guys stalking them? You seemed so certain as if you were there to hear their conversation!]
[Previous poster, you can’t blame everyone for thinking too much.. To be honest, Brother Huai’s att.i.tude towards An’an is really confusing to the fans!]
