Chapter 1820: Chapter 1820: Rising Star (22)

Gu Yu just couldn’t understand what Old Madam Gu liked about that woman, and of course, Chuzheng couldn’t understand it either.

Maybe it’s because she’s just that lovable by everyone.

[...] Please have some self-awareness.

Chuzheng returned to the set, preparing for the evening shoot.

On the way back, she also received information about Gu Yu.

After Gu Yu was injured, he couldn’t continue acting and had to return home to take over the family business.

But because of his injury, he would always hear certain voices.

Initially, Gu Yu had quite a good mindset, after all, he was a national celebrity, you couldn’t get by without some mental resilience.

But later, an incident occurred that led to a change in Gu Yu.

It was a business competition; Gu Yu ultimately won using his skills, but the opponent was unwilling to accept it and engineered an accident resulting in Old Madam Gu’s death on the spot.

Gu Yu was at the scene then and couldn’t save Old Madam Gu.

Old Madam Gu was a very important family member to Gu Yu; if it weren’t for his injured leg, Old Madam Gu wouldn’t have died.

After Old Madam Gu died, Gu Yu continually blamed himself. Coupled with the subsequent betrayals by the people around him, Gu Yu’s mindset gradually began to collapse.

After this incident, Gu Yu started to gradually turn dark.

Now, it’s still a long time since that event happened, meaning that Gu Yu is still very safe and won’t turn dark without cause.

Chuzheng felt relieved.

-

The matter of Fu Xingchen’s romance was still fermenting. He had taken leave, but there was still no response from Fu Xingchen.

Until later, new photos emerged, confirming the fact that Fu Xingchen was in a relationship.

If they weren’t lovers, would they be that close?

If Fu Xingchen still insisted they were just friends, it would be an insult to fans’ intelligence.

Some fans might actually believe it, but any rational fan wouldn’t.

[The woman seems to be an extra minor celebrity named Qin Chuzheng.]

[Qin Chuzheng? Who is this? Completely unheard of, how dare she be with our idol!!]

[I don’t believe it, we agreed not to have a relationship!]

[I don’t want to believe it either, but the facts are right in front of us.]

[Who is Qin Chuzheng anyway!]

Such comments became more frequent, with many people starting to question who Qin Chuzheng was and why she was with their idol.

When Chuzheng learned of this matter, she had just finished shooting a night scene, and a staff member came over with a phone to show her.

Chuzheng, forced into a relationship: "..."

By now, it was already dug up online that she was just an extra, hardly even considered an extra minor celebrity, with no works to her name.

The photos released were all of her in garish, heavy makeup, which were quite an eyesore.

This wasn’t the crucial part, the crucial part was that there were many reports about her following Fu Xingchen’s schedule, or acting infatuated with Fu Xingchen without regard for her image at certain events.

Those photos...

They probably should have been exposed last, but unexpectedly, they were leaked now.

These people had only dug up so much for now, but if they investigated further, they would probably find out she was the Qin Family’s daughter.

As it develops, the Qin Family would completely cut off her funds... oh well, that’s not an issue; Bastard has plenty of money.

Bzzz bzzz bzzz——

Chuzheng looked at the phone screen with a call coming in marked as ’Mom,’ but didn’t answer it.

The calls persisted relentlessly; after Madam Qin called, Father Qin called, they’d probably already seen the trending searches.

Finally, it was Qin Chuzhao calling.

"Sister." As soon as Qin Chuzhao called out, it turned into Madam Qin’s voice: "Qin Chuzheng, you’ve got some nerve, not answering calls!!"

"Mom, what are you doing!" Qin Chuzhao’s voice became clear again: "Can’t you stop, Sister didn’t do anything wrong."

"How did she not do anything wrong? Look at what’s being said outside now!!" Madam Qin’s voice was sharp: "Why are you defending her, she’s being a bad influence, do you want to learn from her? Look at other people’s daughters, who behaves like her?"

Qin Chuzhao argued with Madam Qin for a few sentences, then quickly ran back to his room, slamming the door shut with a bang, cautiously speaking: "Sister, are you okay?"

"It’s fine."

"Are those things they’re saying online true? Sister, are you really dating Fu Xingchen?"

The original host’s liking for Fu Xingchen was something Qin Chuzhao knew, so at this moment, there was a bit of nervousness and anticipation in his tone.

Of course, he hoped sister could be with the person she liked...

Gu Yu?

What’s Gu Yu, the most important thing was who his sister liked!

"No."

Qin Chuzhao asked curiously: "Then what’s going on online?" Suddenly those statements appeared, and when he saw them, he thought his sister had finally got what she wanted.

Chuzheng’s tone didn’t fluctuate much: "It’s none of your business, have you finished your homework?"

Qin Chuzhao weakly responded: "No..." Is this the time to talk about homework?

"Do your homework properly and don’t concern yourself with these matters." Children should focus on doing their homework.

"..."

Why shouldn’t he care?

"Sis... beep beep beep..."

Before Qin Chuzhao could finish speaking, the call ended with just a dial tone remaining.

-

Chuzheng hung up Qin Chuzhao’s phone and quickly registered an account.

Chuzheng first searched for Gu Yu’s name. Of course, Gu Yu, as such a popular figure, had a Weibo account, and Chuzheng clicked into the homepage for a look.

The last post was a statement about an indefinite hiatus from more than a year ago.

Chuzheng glanced at Gu Yu’s over 80 million followers, then at her own account with zero followers, feeling a bit melancholic.

Even though Gu Yu wasn’t acting anymore, his fans were still there.

There’s quite a gap, huh.

Qin Chuzheng: Official match @Gu Yu V, please don’t play matchmakers.

Chuzheng’s little account, with no one paying attention, it made no difference if she posted or not.

So Chuzheng called Old Madam Gu, and then in the middle of the night, Old Madam Gu got Gu Yu up and told him to log onto Weibo.

"Grandma, what for?" Gu Yu suppressed his irritation upon waking: "In the middle of the night, what are you up to again?"

Old Madam Gu held the phone: "Quick, your wife is asking you to repost a Weibo post."

"What?" Gu Yu was momentarily confused.

What wife?

Where did he get a wife from?

After a while, Gu Yu finally realized, Qin Chuzheng!!

What does she want now?

Not sleeping in the middle of the night, bothering his grandma isn’t enough, now she’s got his grandma to bother him, is she crazy!!

It wasn’t actually that late, not even 10:30; for young people, this was the start of night life.

But for Gu Yu, who had entered the elderly health regimen of early to bed and early to rise, it was indeed late.

Under Old Madam Gu’s urging, Gu Yu frowned and opened his phone, logging onto his Weibo account which he hadn’t used for over a year.

As soon as Gu Yu logged in, Weibo exploded.

[Wow!! Wow!! I saw my husband online!! [Image]]

There’s a software that can notify users when a celebrity comes online; as soon as Gu Yu logged in, someone noticed, and it was immediately posted online.
