Chapter 29: Relationship Exposed, Plagiarism Attempts to Gain Favor
A few days later, at a barbecue restaurant.
"Over here!" Choi Hyo-eun jumped around on the spot, but she was still not as tall as Yoon Jin-ah when she casually waved her hand.
"Sorry I'm a few minutes late," Xu Yuan greeted the trio.
The barbecue place was quite close to Ouli Sunshine, so he thought he'd walk over there.
As a result, in big cities, the buildings may look close to each other, but it can take ten minutes or more to walk between them.
I should have driven.
"It's nothing," An Xue said in a barely audible voice, a blush rising on her face.
The thought of what she had done that night made her too ashamed to look Xu Yuan in the eye.
"After that, Chen Shih-hao and Li Jianshe didn't cause you any trouble, right?" Xu Yuan asked, sitting opposite An Xue, taking the initiative to start the conversation in a very natural tone.
"No." An Xue felt a little better.
Cui Xiaoen sat next to Xu Yuan, excitedly pulling out her phone: "Wow, Yu Qingwan's relationship is about to be exposed!"
???
Xu Yuan almost dropped the kebab in his hand.
Exposed?
So they invited me out for barbecue to interrogate me?
Xu Yuan glanced at the screen and saw that the news was from "The Day After Tomorrow's Headlines": "Shocking! Just after Yu Tianhou cleared her name, her relationship has been confirmed?"
The accompanying picture shows Yu Qingwan walking intimately with a man who is about 1.85 meters tall.
It also surged to the top of the trending searches:
Top 5: "Later" not only moved the entire internet to tears, but it may have also brought him to tears?
Top 2: If the relationship is confirmed, it may affect Yu Qingwan's upcoming projects.
Top 1: Yu Qingwan's team responded to the rumors, stating they are just friends and hoping everyone will leave them alone.
Netizens have all sorts of opinions.
[Friends? Who would believe that?]
Fishball is very considerate of his friends; please don't disrupt their lives.
This must be an airport, right? Seeing someone off or picking them up—they must be pretty good friends.
[This is too close; it can't just be friends, it's at least a flirtatious stage.]
[It's possible that the man simply helped carry the suitcase, and the paparazzi deliberately chose an angle that could easily lead to misunderstandings.]
[Is the fish ball noodle shop upstairs still washing dishes? Seven divorces already, stop pretending!]
[I'll wash your mother's filth! You make money off dead people at DiYu Entertainment before you release them, don't you?]
[Unfortunately, the picture is too blurry; it's impossible to see what the man actually looks like.]
Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that he couldn't clearly see that the man in the picture was indeed himself.
Ding!
Xu Yuan's phone vibrated.
I opened it and took a look.
[Zhu Jialin: (Image) You're trending!]
[Xu Yuan: You can recognize this? Don't be too fond of it.]
[Zhu Jialin: Hehe, dream on. I'm just curious about your relationship.]
Xu Yuan: We're divorced.
Zhu Jialin: ...
Zhu Jialin clearly misunderstood, thinking that Xu Yuan was being sarcastic or disrespectful to her.
[Shen Quanfei: (Image) Let's see what's going on. Have you seen this guy backstage?]
[Xu Yuan: I've met them; they're outsourced staff.]
[Shen Quanfei: Just like you? Are they real?]
Xu Yuan: I am not in a relationship.
[Shen Quanfei: Fake melon? Sigh, it's not appealing anymore.]
After Xu Yuan finished processing the message, the trio was still discussing it.
Yin Zhen'er shook her head: "I don't know. When I visited Sister Yu backstage that night, there were no men in her waiting room. But I do think this figure looks a bit like Xu Yuan."
"Huh? Now that you mention it, there is some truth to that."
"Could it be...?"
The trio looked over.
Xu Yuan gave a forced smile: "What are you talking about? These days, aren't men who are 1.85 meters tall easy to find?"
Choi Hyo-eun's eyes widened like saucers: "How do you know he's 1.85 meters tall?"
"Um... since Yu Qingwan is 1.65 meters tall, the height difference is basically about 20 centimeters."
"Then how do you know Yu Qingwan's height?"
"Well... I know Youwei, we did a show together, so she knows Yu Qingwan's height is reasonable, right?"
"Xu Yuan, you wouldn't be..." Cui Xiaoen braced herself on the table, leaning her upper body towards Xu Yuan, exuding a powerful aura, "...also a sasaeng fan of Yu Qingwan, right?"
"what?"
"How could you be so fickle? We, the fans of Consort Yu, absolutely cannot be half-hearted. Once a noblewoman, always a Consort! Of course, I admit that through the show 'I Am a Singer,' I did develop a sense of admiration for Yu Qingwan's professional abilities and became a little fan, but being a stalker is definitely wrong..."
Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected of fans from the peninsula, their logic is deeply ingrained, and they always manage to slip into fandom interpretations even when faced with the correct answer.
lovely!
"Boss, bring this little girl an extra serving of pig brains." Xu Yuan generously treated her, "Eat more, you are what you eat."
Choi Hyo-eun couldn't understand, but An-seol and Yoon Jin-ah were amused.
After they explained to Choi Hyo-eun, Choi Hyo-eun flew into a rage: "Hey! How dare you call someone a pig brain? I'll fight you to the death!"
Choi Hyo-eun stood up, took a step back, lowered her head, and delivered a headbutt.
Unfortunately, Xu Yuan caught her head easily with one hand.
"Hey, don't you dare touch my hair..."
"You still need to practice your dog-headed impact technique."
……
After finishing their barbecue, the four of them took a walk back to their dorm.
After watching them go upstairs, Xu Yuan turned around.
At this point, Jiang Youwei, who should have sent a message earlier, called.
"Did you see the news about fish balls?"
"I see it, it's DiYu?"
"Yes, we can discuss the details when we meet tomorrow."
"Okay, then take a rest early... never mind, I doubt you'll be able to get a rest early."
Xu Yuan hung up the phone.
DiYu's attempt to target Yu Qingwan has failed, and any further action now would be pointless except to disgust people.
But they did it anyway.
That means this move is not only targeting Yu Qingwan, but also "I Am a Singer".
Based on their previous actions of reporting live streams, Xu Yuan concluded that Jiang Youwei was not getting a good night's sleep.
the next day.
as predicted.
Jiang Youwei, sporting large dark circles under her eyes, met Xu Yuan at a coffee shop.
No, it should be called a milk coffee shop.
The coffee shop's sign has been changed to "Yuanxu Milk Coffee".
Although the red hair, leather jacket, and leather pants made her look like the Black Widow from afar, upon closer inspection, Jiang Youwei's complexion was actually quite poor. She said weakly, "Yuanxu, so that's what Yuanxu meant."
To rekindle their romance?
Does your name do justice to me, the major shareholder?
What a jerk!
Xu Yuan handed Jiang Youwei a bottle of mineral water: "The 'Xu' in 'narrative' means 'if we're destined to meet, let's chat together,' that's the idea."
"Hehe, do you think I believe you or not?"
"So, do you want me to guess or not? Tell me, what exactly did DiYu do to make our junior so upset and haggard, so I'm the one to vent my anger?"
"Emperor Entertainment also produced a singer competition show called 'The Real Singer'," Jiang Youwei said, getting angry.
Diyu has a lot of influence in the music industry, with many signed artists under its wing.
This time, they put together a music variety show entirely on their own, with seven singers competing on the same stage, one more than "I Am a Singer".
Each episode features a guest challenger, and the competition format is copied verbatim.
The first episode aired right after the fifth episode of "I Am a Singer," capitalizing on the tail end of the show's popularity.
The exposure of Yu Qingwan's negative news was intended to suppress the popularity of "I Am a Singer".
They attack from the front and suck from the back, they extort money, they blatantly bluff, and they even pla
Who could stand this?
