Chapter 49.2

The number one trending post on Weibo was even more outrageous.

“@GossipFrontline: Today’s Big Gossip: 

1. Gu Yanshu, who was supposed to be filming a reality show in the villa, was photographed sitting in a luxury car in the middle of the night and entering the car park. It’s said that this limited edition Aston Martin is owned by President Ye of the U.N. Group. 

2. Inside sources have said today that Gu Yanshu had pushed out many professional singers and obtained the chance to perform for Qin Fan’s new movie, and Ye Yanshu arranged to bring Gu Yanshu and Qin Fan out for dinner. 

3. As celebrities from the same company, not only did Gu Yanshu snatch Chen Ran’s recording spot for “Cohabitation Life”, but he also caused Chen Ran’s contract to be terminated. 

4. Ye Leng has publicly said previously that he is gay. In summary, what was their relationship?”

“No way, no way. This isn’t the first time Gu Yanshu has been involved in underhanded transactions. Who doesn’t know about this?” 

“The one above, do you have evidence? Why are you spouting nonsense?”

“That’s true. It would be strange if someone with Shen Jue’s family background would like Gu Yanshu.”

…

Most people in this world were only willing to see what they wanted to see, and believe what they wanted to believe. They weren’t afraid to use the worst kind of malice to make guesses on everything, and firmly believe that this was the truth. Then, they would use the truth they imagined as evidence to scold and criticize others righteously. If someone didn’t believe the truth they made up, that person would be seen as a brainless fool.

They didn’t believe in explanations, nor did they believe in the fact that the truth was different from what they imagined. They thought that they were standing on the moral high ground and criticising everything, as if this would allow them to find superiority and satisfaction in an incompetent and impoverished life.

So, they were always right, because even though their self-righteous faces were so ugly and funny, they could successfully hurt those people who were misunderstood and slandered, and spread rumours about them. In the end, they could even say casually that since he was a celebrity, he deserved it.

To such people, the word “reasonable” would never appear in their dictionaries. 

And the harm done to people who had been slandered and had rumours spread about them would never be erased. It was like a drop of ink on white paper. Even if it was just a little bit, it couldn’t be wiped clean, no matter what.

Gu Yanshu had been splashed with such “ink” once. At that time, he finally wiped away most of the stain at the cost of being separated from the person he liked for five years. Before he could recover, he was splashed with such “ink” again.

Malicious speculations, dirty language, and inexplicable slander.

At that moment, the emotion in Gu Yanshu’s heart wasn’t anger or grievance, but powerlessness.

He suddenly felt extremely tired. His life, which was publicly misrepresented and exaggerated every time he did something unintentional, was really too tiring. Even though he tried so hard to prove himself, his efforts ultimately couldn’t compare to a few random photos. Even the love he had solemnly kept in his heart for seven years was interpreted in a downright disgusting manner.

Behind the door was his family member, who was on the verge of death.

Outside the door were slanderous rumours, that confused right and wrong.

At that moment, Gu Yanshu felt like he had returned to five years ago.

And at this time five years ago, he thought with satisfaction that he still had Shen Jue to rely on, and at that time, Shen Jue did his best to protect him.

But now, after five years of separation and a few days of cosiness, the phone call that he couldn’t get through, as well as the compatibility and ambiguousness relationship between Shen Jue and the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, Gu Yanshu didn’t know what right he had to rely on Shen Jue, nor did he know if he still had the courage to rely on him again.

Gu Yanshu’s knuckles were already white from holding the phone too tightly.
