Chapter 298: Being Used As A Tool
Translator: Zayn_
At the end of July, the production team of Murder of the Rose officially announced that they had wrapped up filming.
Luo Hongqing personally said that the movie would be released in August.
The cast and crew members shared the news one after another.
Gu Xingchen followed closely behind and reposted Song Qingyou’s Weibo post.
[Gu Xingchen V: @Song Qingyou, Little Qingyou’s first movie has finally finished filming. I hope we can have the opportunity to work together.]
Even though the content of this Weibo post did not have the slightest ambiguous feeling, it was currently the time when the scandal between Gu Xingchen and Chen Zixuan was ‘causing a ruckus’ and the fans would be more sensitive to gossip.
As a result, when this Weibo post appeared, it sent the news of Murder of the Rose to the top of the trending page. At the same time, it also made people curious about the relationship between Gu Xingchen and Song Qingyou.
Logically speaking, Gu Xingchen should have reposted Zhong Jiayin’s Weibo post.
After all, the two of them were artists from the same company and had known each other for many years. When Gu Xingchen needed a female companion occasionally, he would only invite Zhong Jiayin.
This time, Gu Xingchen directly ignored Zhong Jiayin and forwarded Song Qingyou’s message. Was it purely a coincidence? Or was it done casually?
Most people did not believe these two reasons.
Especially since the third episode of the All-Class Challenge was currently being broadcasted.
On the show, Gu Xingchen had always been “overly enthusiastic” towards Song Qingyou. Not only did he keep calling her Little Qingyou, but he also kept getting close to her whenever he had the chance…
Those who had watched the show once or twice immediately discovered the ‘blind spot’.
Soon, someone edited all the interactions between Gu Xingchen and Song Qingyou on the show.
At first glance, it really looked like a couple.
But in fact, because Song Qingyou had always been very polite to Gu Xingchen and had always maintained a normal social distance, the feeling of a couple wasn’t strong.
But so what?
For Gu Xingchen’s fans, rather than letting Chen Zixuan and Gu Xingchen’s scandal continue to stir up, they might as well have a taste of Song Qingyou and Gu Xingchen!
In any case, the two at the back didn’t look like a couple!
Therefore, with the help of Gu Xingchen’s fans, the discussion about the Gu-Song couple rose like a rocket.
Gu Lin saw the direction of public opinion on the Internet. How could he not understand what Gu Xingchen meant by asking him a question earlier?
“Tsk, did you get someone to edit those couple-love clips online?” he asked. “What do you think?” Gu Xingchen asked.
“Not really.” Gu Lin pursed his lips. “After Song Qingyou became famous, I haven’t heard of her stirring up any scandals. Did you ask for her opinion?” “Do I need to ask?” Gu Xingchen asked.
“The topic of the couple was created by fans. What does it have to do with me?”
This meant that he would not admit it.
Gu Lin had long been used to him being such a dog, so he was not surprised. He only said, “1 think Song Qingyou might be angry.”
“To be able to create a love line with me, she doesn’t have to worry about being besieged by fans. She has already taken advantage of me, so why should she be angry? Hmm?”
Gu Lin was speechless.
He knew that she couldn’t convince this person!
Seeing that the gossip about her and Gu Xingchen had greatly decreased, and that some of the main forums could not find any related posts, Chen Zixuan only felt depressed.
If not for her manager and assistant stopping her, she would have added fuel to the fire!
However, just as her manager had said, Gu Xingchen must be very disgusted with her now. She had to stop while she was ahead.
As the main culprit of this groundless scandal, Chen Zixuan could not admit it directly. She could only beat around the bush and let the media hype it up.
In this way, even if Gu Xingchen wanted to clarify, the more he clarified, the more it would seem that their relationship was not ordinary.
Because of this, most artistes would be helpless when faced with this kind of thing and choose to suffer in silence.
Ever since Chen Zixuan debuted, she had relied on this move to rise to the top.
This time, Gu Xingchen was chosen not only because he was one of the top celebrities in the country, but also because Gu Xingchen’s reputation had always been very good. If he asked ten people, nine of them would say that Gu Xingchen had a good temper, and one of them was his fan.
Therefore, Chen Zixuan did not hesitate to stick to it.
Who knew that Gu Xingchen really did not come forward to clarify. Instead, he directly created other scandals and challenged her!
The Gu-Song couple had suddenly become a hot topic. Not to mention Chen Zixuan, even Song Qingyou, who was involved, was confused at first.
Until Chen Lan reminded her to check Weibo.
“As expected of Gu Xingchen. He can create a scandal by casually re-posting a Weibo post.”
“Just now, a few people from the industry came to ask me if the news on the Internet was true!”
“These people are all asking if you and Gu Xingchen are really together. Why don’t they ask if Gu Xingchen is fawning over you? When I saw the videos edited by those fans, it was all Gu Xingchen’s fault…”
“They wouldn’t dare to guess that.” Song Qingyou glanced sideways.
“That’s true.” Chen Lan nodded. “I saw some comments saying that you were so polite to Gu Xingchen on the show and kept calling him Teacher Gu because you deliberately wanted to cut ties with him…”
“It’s failed now.”
“All, this…” Chen Lan consoled, “Then why don’t we think of the bright side? At least because of the scandal between Gu Xingchen and Chen Zixuan earlier and you suddenly appearing now, not only did you not get attacked by Gu Xingchen’s fans, you might even increase your popularity…”
“I don’t need fame in this area.” Song Qingyou’s voice was cold.
“I hope that everyone will know me because of Xihe in The Immortal Demon, Su Yiwan in The Empress, and Shen Huan in Murder of the Rose.”
Although such a situation was too idealistic, actors who loved acting would probably have similar thoughts.
Chen Lan could tell that Song Qingyou’s tone was not right, so she asked cautiously, “You… Are you angry?”
“Yes.”
Song Qingyou nodded.
“Gu Xingchen’s Weibo is managed by him. He obviously re-posted this Weibo on purpose. He’s using me as a tool to clear up the scandal.”
Chen Lan did not doubt her words.
But in her opinion, Song Qingyou being used as a tool would actually benefit her.
To put it bluntly, Song Qingyou could rely on this matter to cling onto Gu Xingchen’s golden thigh.
Of course, Chen Lan would only think about these things in her heart and would never say them out loud.
“Then what do you plan to do? Should we contact Gu Xingchen and ask him for an explanation?”
“No need. Aren’t we going to have a press conference tomorrow?” Song Qingyou asked. “Then let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
Chen Lan’s intuition told her that Song Qingyou was going to “take revenge” on Gu Xingchen. “Take it easy, watch your boundaries.”
“Don’t worry, Sister Lan.” Song Qingyou waved her hand.
She just wanted to express her stance to Gu Xingchen, lest this person wanted to use her as a tool next time!
Jiang Zhihan yawned slowly as he listened to their conversation..
