Chapter 1420: Du Lingyang was really her good boyfriend!
Su Manman’s eyes were full of arrogance. “Putting all that aside, can’t you see that I have everything going for me? My background, resources, acting skills, and looks aren’t lacking in any way. It’s only natural for me to become popular. So, why would I take the risk to imitate a deceased senior and make her fans hate me? Is it to slander myself?”
“Ding dong—”
The phone in Su Manman’s hand beeped. She glanced at it and raised her brows as a sarcastic smile formed on her lips…
[186x.x.xx.x.x3349: The truth will come out, eventually. I didn’t expect Meng Yuqiao to do this either. Perhaps she’s jealous because I revealed my admiration for you in front of her and told her you’re the inspiration behind a song I wrote. I apologize on her behalf. Can I ask you out? I want you to listen to that song…]
As soon as she raised her head, Su Manman looked into the reporter’s camera and said, “Although Meng Yuqiao’s methods aren’t good, I have to admit, her taste in men is really suitable for her.”
A sc.u.mbag and a b.i.t.c.h…
Su Manman raised her phone and showed it to the camera. “In order to avoid suspicion, I’ll give my answer to Senior Meng Yuqiao’s boyfriend through the camera: Listen, I’ve already told you I was merely telling the truth, so there’s no need for you to apologize! As for whom you got your inspiration from to write a song, that’s your own business, not mine. Let me be clear, we’re not close!”
After saying that, Su Manman got into the car.
Following that, the internet blew up. It was a ruckus!
They released the recording of Su Manman confronting Meng Yuqiao at the filming location. The media also released their recordings of Su Manman’s interview.
When Jiang Mingzhu’s fans saw those videos, they exploded. They all tagged the posters, who incited the commotion against Su Manman earlier, and asked them to confirm it.
However, these people seemed to have disappeared into thin air. They didn’t come out to explain themselves.
Later, some of Jiang Mingzhu’s fans investigated these posters’ IDs and discovered that these IDs would only appear to stir up trouble for some celebrities by accusing them of imitating Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Mingzhu’s fans then thought of all the female celebrities who had previously vied for the female lead role with Meng Yuqiao. Those were the celebrities that these few IDs had accused of imitating Jiang Mingzhu, resulting in the fans to scold them until they broke down and left the entertainment industry.
Jiang Mingzhu’s fans suddenly felt like they had been used.
But… didn’t this Meng Yuqiao claim to be Jiang Mingzhu’s best friend?
Some fans understood clearly what had been going on and started scolding Meng Yuqiao on Weibo. But some fans still had hopes for Meng Yuqiao and were urging her to come out and explain herself.
Because Su Manman had shown Du Lingyang’s message directly to the camera in her interview videos, Du Lingyang’s phone number was exposed. The reporters and fans confirmed that it was Du Lingyang because they had indeed heard Du Lingyang’s voice when they called the number. But after that, Du Lingyang’s phone had been turned off.
However, at the start, when the reporters had a dazed look on their faces, they started an audio recording and made a call. When they asked if Du Lingyang was the one on the other end, Du Lingyang asked what it was about. This recording also spread.
Du Lingyang’s sweet image was about to collapse. Who wouldn’t be able to tell the ambiguity in his message to Su Manman?
Some people took screenshots of the message on Su Manman’s phone when it was shown in the video. The message was from the same day as the interview…
The first message showed that it was the first time Du Lingyang had sent Su Manman a message. It also showed that he didn’t get Su Manman’s phone number directly from her. His dishonest and contemptible aura was apparent.
In addition to that, from Su Manman’s tone in these two videos and the trailer of “The Olden Days,” as well as “The Battle of the House of Horrors”, everyone could see that Su Manman was a straightforward person. When she said something, she was frank. She didn’t mince her words and was resolute.
Furthermore, when the media interviewed s.h.i.+ Hanchu during an endors.e.m.e.nt event, they asked him if Su Manman was similar to his deceased good friend, Jiang Mingzhu, or if she had deliberately imitated Jiang Mingzhu.
s.h.i.+ Hanchu merely smiled and said that the only thing similar between Jiang Mingzhu and Su Manman was their equally superb acting skills. He could attest to this because he had worked with Su Manman before, and he always admired young actors with excellent acting skills despite their age.
He also said that in terms of personality, Su Manman and Jiang Mingzhu were different. He believed that everyone should understand after watching the two videos that were circulated around the internet. Jiang Mingzhu was a very gentle and elegant woman, whereas Su Manman was righteous, brave, and fearless.
The media present knew that s.h.i.+ Hanchu was referring to Su Manman’s reaction to Du Lingyang’s ambiguous message for her. Su Manman had directly exposed his sly personality to the media without giving him any face at all.
With s.h.i.+ Hanchu’s words and Tu Jie’s methods, the public att.i.tude on the internet had started to change…
On the one hand, Su Manman’s straightforward personality had won the favor of many netizens. They appreciated the young lady’s righteous and unrestrained att.i.tude.
On the other hand, some people still slandered Su Manman, saying that Su Manman was narcissistic and ungrateful… Given how big a celebrity Du Lingyang was, sending her a message was to help her, but instead of counting her blessings, she exposed it to the media to create hype for herself.
Nonetheless, regardless of how many haters Su Manman had, her standing in the industry had already been established.
Su Manman’s character was everything that many people wished to be. However, people had too many qualms, so they never dared to live in such a carefree manner. They admired a girl like Su Manman, and while helping Su Manman diss her anti-fans, their fondness for her deepened, and they became her fans.
Du Lingyang had roused up Jiang Mingzhu’s fans because he used to be Jiang Mingzhu’s boyfriend and was always acting so affectionate about Jiang Mingzhu after she pa.s.sed away…
But they had seen his ambiguous message to Su Manman. Of course, some fans were still willing to believe in Du Lingyang because they were too immersed in their own fantasy of how deep Du Lingyang’s love was for Jiang Mingzhu,
Fortunately, most fans were clear-headed and had left Du Lingyang. They called Du Lingyang a jerk and confronted him on Weibo, saying that he wasn’t worthy of Jiang Mingzhu.
On the other hand, no one raised the topic of Du Lingyang’s worthiness of Meng Yuqiao, his official girlfriend. Even if a few raised this topic, they were suppressed by Jiang Mingzhu’s million fans’ other posts.
When Meng Yuqiao returned home, she smashed everything in the house into a mess. She hated Du Lingyang, and she hated Su Manman even more…
Back then, Du Lingyang wanted to put on a loving persona, so she had agreed to help him enter Jiang Mingzhu’s fan club and kept hyping up Jiang Mingzhu’s fans for him.
She then strongly requested him to announce to the public that she was his girlfriend and wanted to put on an act!
Now that things had turned out this way, Du Lingyang became crazily popular because of Jiang Mingzhu. He was untouchable in the music industry. However, the jerk ended up directly admitting those things on her behalf. Not only did he apologize on her behalf, he even offered to treat Su Manman to a meal, write songs for her, and have her be dragged down with him! In order to accentuate his innocence and helplessness, he actually said that she had framed Su Manman because she was jealous that he had written a song for Su Manman.
Now, even if Meng Yuqiao had a hundred mouths, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself. Du Lingyang was really her good boyfriend! He was really… wonderful!
