Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Golden Agent of the Adonis (28)

Could it be said that Chu Xiang was the mistress who ruined their relationship? But if things were on a first come, first served basis… Could it be that Zhou Yuan had intervened in the relationship between Chen Lifeng and Chu Xiang? Otherwise, why did Chen Lifeng and Chu Xiang break up so abruptly? They were looking into each others’ eyes and sharing sweet laughs only 2 months ago. Therefore, only the mistress would gain any form of benefit with how the issue escalated, wouldn’t it?

The ‘boiling’ anger of the netizens slowly morphed into an ‘explosion’.

At this rate, could anyone be blamed for being on the brink of explosion? This reversal was even more powerful than the previous posts of charity! If Chu Xiang was really Chen Lifeng’s girlfriend, then he had been cheating on his fans by hiding his relationship for so many years! And if Zhou Yuan really was the mistress, then her good reputation over the years from her being a child star to a first-rate actress would be completely ruined!

There were also the personalities of Chen Lifeng and Zhou Yuan. No matter how they approached this case, it didn’t seem like Chu Xiang was the one who hurt them. So, who was the one who instigated the initial rumors on Weibo? Wasn’t that taking things a tad too far?

Passers-by have basically determined that Chen Lifeng and Zhou Yuan have betrayed Chu Xiang. Fans of both Chen Lifeng and Zhou Yuan were anxious— on one hand, they insisted that it was impossible and claimed that a few photos couldn’t determine anything but on the other hand, they secretly trusted that Zhou Yuan and their agents would come forward with an explanation.

Fans found a large number of ambiguous photos and edited videos, wanting to explain that the photos were not accurate as the edits done to the pictures could merely be portraying them as a sadomasochistic couple. They insisted that Chen Lifeng and Chu Xiang were definitely not lovers, so it was impossible for anyone to betray the other’s feelings.

But Chen Lifeng’s female fans…

Two days ago, they were sad due to the exploitation of Chen Lifeng’s love affair. Because they hated Chu Xiang and the mentality of defending Chen Lifeng prevailed, they remained united and scolded Chu Xiang in order to support him, to the point where him being in a relationship wasn’t even considered a problem anymore.

And after a day of fighting, just when they were going to bed due to the exhaustion of the events, they were suddenly slammed with the ‘real hammer’ of Chen Lifeng and Chu Xiang being in love for 8 years! How was Chu Xiang pestering Chen Lifeng? No matter how one looked at these photos, the two of them were nothing but sweet! Chen Lifeng was actually that intimate with Chu Xiang!

The feeling of being lied to by him was very humiliating and the fact that their favorite idol was still in love re-stimulated their rage. All the anger that had been transferred towards Chu Xiang previously was taken back and expanded tenfold.

Now, as they criticized Chu Xiang and Zhou Yuan for not being good enough for Chen Lifeng, they were also questioning the reason he concealed his relationship. They cried and complained that Chen Lifeng was not allowed to fall in love, accused him of deceiving them and told him that they felt bad about supporting someone like him all these years.

The passers-by were not even interested in arguing with them anymore; it felt like they were just watching a good drama.

The backlash came fast and fierce as the phone calls of the relevant personnel were all being spammed with calls and messages to no end! Chen Lifeng’s face turned pale when he saw those photos since he himself had never seen these photos before. Where did all these come from?

Seeing how close Chen Lifeng had been to Chu Xiang these years, Zhou Yuan was so angry that she picked up the wine glass and poured red wine on Chen Lifeng’s face. She picked up her purse and did not even listen to Chen Lifeng’s explanation, hurrying back to her studio to have a meeting with the team. She merely wanted to publicize her relationship and tried to squeeze Chu Xiang away for good measure, but she didn’t expect to get burned and made herself a laughingstock..

How could her decade-long gentle and kind persona be replaced by a measly mistress? If this matter was not handled well, her career would be affected!

Chen Lifeng was called by Li Ou and the company in turns, asking him if the relationship was real and what happened in those photos. He firmly denied that there was any sort of relationship between them as he claimed that they were merely making speculations as the two of them were not that intimate at all. Then, he called Chu Xiang irritably as he suddenly remembered that many years ago, she seemed to have mentioned something about her buying photos from the paparazzi. This meant that these photos were definitely posted by Chu Xiang!

Chu Xiang picked up the phone as if nothing happened, “Actor Chen, what’s the matter?”

Chen Lifeng asked angrily, “Do you want to destroy me by releasing those photos? When did you even get them?”

Chu Xiang didn’t admit it in the slightest “How could I have those photos that just surfaced on the Internet? I don’t know which kind-hearted person sent them and shattered the rumors that I was so-called ‘entangled with you’. Chen Lifeng, there is a classic saying that goes, ‘when man is doing, God is watching’. Between you and me, you know very well who was the one who set up the other, so you don’t have any right to question me. From now on, as you have said yourself, we should live our own lives. I’d advise you not to waste your energy with me and find a way to deal with the public relations yourself.”

After Chu Xiang finished speaking, she hung up the phone and blocked all of Chen Lifeng’s contact information.
