I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 137 - 127: Set in Stone

Hu Yiwei fell silent for a long time.

Then he suddenly said, "Fine, let’s go back for a meal, this time I’ll trust you once, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Mu Qianli sighed in relief. But actually, she had thought it through; despite their constant arguments, she and Hu Yiwei never stooped to bad-mouthing each other behind their backs. She had her own professional ethics, her own principles, and worldview. Likewise, she knew Hu Yiwei was the same.

When the two first met, they started clashing head-on, no need for talking behind each other’s backs – they would openly call each other scumbags. Yet, despite this, they could still recognize each other’s abilities.

Hu Yiwei had the ability to cultivate someone like Pei Jinxi, which Mu Qianli admired.

Similarly, Hu Yiwei also knew that the reason Mu Qianli could grow into who she was today in such a short period was because she had the capability.

They looked down on each other, yet they appreciated each other at the same time.

Mu Qianli said, "No matter who did this, we can be sure that Pei Jinxi is innocent. However, we still don’t know what else the other party has in their hands, nor how Lin Wanruo will handle it. I will have someone check out what’s really going on with Lin Wanruo. Just be patient, I’ll have the PR firm prepare a statement."

Hu Yiwei had no other course of action, so he followed Mu Qianli.

Before long, Pei Jinxi herself spoke up first.

Her Weibo post quickly trended on the hot search list.

Pei Jinxi posted on Weibo, "I maintain a very good collaborative relationship with senior Lin Wanruo; there is no other relationship as all the online rumors suggest. For everyone who spreads these malicious rumors, marketers, evidence has been preserved and is ready to be brought to legal proceedings."

No matter the other party’s attitude, it was essential for Pei Jinxi to speak out first; any delay would undoubtedly give others a chance to spin the story, especially since Pei Jinxi was innocent.

Beneath her post, the netizens were not buying it.

It was unclear whether it was netizens or paid commenters cursing below, "Knowing she is a married woman, yet still so intimate."

"This is the entertainment industry, isn’t it a place where you can deny everything without being caught in bed?"

"They’re just very good at cooperation, touching faces, patting backs; everyone stop slandering."

"There should be limits to physical contact between a man and a woman, looking at the photos they’re touching faces; it’s not like there’s really nothing going on."

Of course, when the fans saw Pei Jinxi speak up, they quickly began to control the comments section.

Under Pei Jinxi’s statement, soon, many of the negative comments were buried, replaced by the posts from the fans.

"Just a professional relationship, please be informed."

"Spreading rumors is a crime, some marketers should be mindful of how they make their dirty money."

"We believe in Jinxi, who’s been dedicated to their craft for years, never engaging in any scandals or misconduct, working diligently on set, not using body doubles, insisting on filming even when injured, focused on delivering good performances—all else is insignificant." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

However, not long after Pei Jinxi issued her statement, Chen Zhicheng suddenly made an announcement.

"Thank you for your concern, I am currently discussing the matters of divorce and hope that all follow-up actions will be under amicable negotiation in accordance with the law. I apologize for the negative impact caused by my personal affairs."

This terse statement almost nailed the speculation of Lin Wanruo’s infidelity.

Like a TV series, this scandal kept escalating, making everyone feel as if they were witnessing twists and turns, creating enthralling drama.

The netizens were scoffing, and they started to curse even more at Pei Jinxi and Lin Wanruo.

"Divorced, huh? Seems like there’s solid evidence now."

"A pair of adulterers, I feel sorry for Chen Zhicheng."
