Arc 1: Part 32
Bai Li pulled off her headphones, holding back an expletive for the sake of her image.
Her friends, more unrestrained, had already burst out laughing.
"It has to be Lan Shuer! Every detail matches!"
"And the friend, isn't that Xi Tong Su?"
"Oh my god, can't believe Lan Shuer dare to scheme against Xi Tong Su like this!"
"Quick, I'm going to share this too. This is too funny."
Bai Li forced a smile, seeing her friends reveling in the situation. Shaking her head, she picked up her phone, hit the share button, and began to type her comment.
"I don't care who this actress is. I just want to know, how is the friend going to confront her? If I were the friend, I'd definitely slap that actress in the face!"
On Weibo, the comments were pouring in at a rapid pace. Mockery, ridicule, shock, sighs, and insults were flying in from all directions over the internet. The screen was filled with black text on a white background, clear as day.
"Seriously badass, they must be talking about you, right?"
"Are they talking about @LanShuer?"
"It must be, and isn't the friend Xi Tong Su? My god, is Lan Shuer really this ruthless? Xi Tong Su had just defended her, and now Lan Shuer is betraying her?"
"Come on, trolls. Be reasonable. The blogger didn't say it was Lan Shuer. Don't speculate recklessly! Shuer and Tong Su are good friends, it’s not possible!"
"Lan Shuer, is the expose true?"
"@LanShuer, do you know why we're cursing you? Because you're despicable! Xi Tong Su was kind enough to help you, but in return, you schemed against her, backstabbing and spreading malicious rumors! How could you be so heartless, pitiful wretch?"
"Let's be fair, everyone should stop cursing Lan Shuer for now. Because I'm struggling to like all of your comments."
"No dog head emoji, condolences to friendly forces. The forty-meter-long sword can't be taken back now."
"HAHAHAHAHAHA @LanShuer, what do you think?"
In her hotel room, Lan Shuer was scrolling through the comments on Weibo. Each word stung like a needle of ice, making her shiver.
"Bastards! Who is leaking this? Who?!"
Enraged, she slammed her phone down with force. Despite the thick carpet on the floor, the phone made a clear shattering sound.
The glass screen fractured into a spider web, the screen flickered, then went completely dark.
Lan Shuer's pretty face became contorted with anger. She suddenly sprang from the bed and fell to the desk, irritable and flustered. She opened her laptop and clicked on the WeChat icon, "Agent... Ji Yu, no, I need to find someone. Whoever dares to scheme against me, whoever—”
However, when the login QR code popped up on the screen, her bewildered mind froze, "The phone is broken, I can't log in to WeChat on the laptop!"
She staggered, turning to get her spare phone from her travel case. The more anxious she was, the more her hands trembled, unable to even unlock the password.
Lan Shuer was trembling all over, her ears buzzing. It seemed as though she could hear giggling sounds outside, as though everyone was discussing her.
"Xi Tong Su? Is it Xi Tong Su and Liu Ming? Xi Tong Su must have told Liu Ming! They dare to harm me, I will destroy them! Damn Xi Tong Su!"
Liu Ming is Mrs. Zhang.
Lan Shuer's vision blurred repeatedly. Finally, after a significant struggle, she powered on her phone. Notifications from Weibo, WeChat, missed calls, unread messages, unread emails, etc., all flooded in at once.
Her spare phone wasn't the latest model, and it quickly froze due to the overload. Annoyed, she turned off the Wi-Fi and dialed Ji Yu's number.
However, the call was hung up after only two rings.
At the other end of the connection, within Ji's house.
Before Ji Yu had a chance to answer the call, his mother snatched the phone from him.
She glanced at the name displayed on the screen, and her face darkened. Without hesitation, she hung up the call.
"Ji Yu, don't contact that woman anymore. Go find Xi Tong Su right now and explain things to her properly!"
