It's all your fault.

For the next few days, Fang was absorbed in studying the script, intending to show himself off when Lu came. At least, he couldn't make a fool of himself before Lu.

However, a big news came before Lu came.

The topic- #The inside story about Sun Yingzhe's role being snatched away#-was on the list of Weibo trending topics continuously since the afternoon. Articles from the Internet trolls flooded in, telling about how the has-been singer Fang took away the film resources that belonged to Sun originally.


Snatching away the role was a truth, and when it was coupled with the media's embellishment and hype, Fang aroused public indignation immediately.

Fang's Weibo page was occupied in an instant. Among the comments, there were numerous personal abuse remarks coming from the fans of Sun. Although Fang was careless in nature, he was not dim-witted. Seeing too many disgusting words, he felt quite sad.

His feeling now was different from what he had felt when he used to be slandered before. At one time, when he was faced with the groundless rumors, he didn't fear at all since he behaved honestly. However, he couldn't retort at all this time. He didn't even have a cogent reason to feel sad, which made him feel even sadder.

Fang squatted alone in a corner of the rest room, feeling poor and helpless.


He made a phone call to Lin Yao. Having learned the matter just from Han Jiayue, Lin said coldly, "No more shooting and go home."

Actually, Fang had been thinking the same thing, but he was unwilling to leave directly. After all, he had devoted too much energy to the role recently. He wanted to finish what he had started.

In addition, he also wanted to wait for Lu's reaction. Subconsciously, he believed Lu couldn't just leave him behind and ignore him.

At the moment, Lu was on the phone listening to the manager for public relations reporting the matter. "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we are investigating thoroughly the team that has blown the whistle and manipulated the Internet trolls. We'll find it out soon."


Feeling restless, Lu kept tapping the desk with his fingers. "No more investigation. I know who did it. You guys have to do something to keep it down."

Hanging up the phone, Lu got a headache, and rubbed his temples. He felt a little sorry for Fang. It had been his idea to replace Sun, besides, it was also because of him that Fang was aimed at by his brother.

But Fang was hapless indeed. Negative news about him kept coming in waves before he could get some popularity. Such a lame duck!

Lu felt worried about the state of the poor boy. He had planned not to contact Fang until the matter was settled, but he couldn't help making a phone call at once.

"Are you OK?" Lu asked.

There was silence on the other end of the phone. After quite a while, Lu heard Fang was sniffing, and then Fang murmured, "It's all your fault."


Lu felt his heart had been beaten by someone with little fists. He confessed immediately, "Yes! Yes! It's all my fault. My fault."

Fang accepted them all with a light snort.

Lu softened his voice to ask again, "Do you still want to play the role?"

Fang nodded, "Yes, I do."

His performance had finally made some progress these days. Director Xu praised him unprecedentedly yesterday in front of everyone. He didn't want to give up halfway.

Lu understood. He said to Fang protectively, "Then, do your best to perform well! Don't worry about the rest. I'll take care of it."

The words came like a centering agent. Fang was reassured suddenly, and didn't feel pity for himself anymore. When he came out of the rest room, he looked even straighter.

The cast members sighed with emotion one after another, "It's great to have a powerful sponsor."


The incident kept fermenting until the night. Fang didn't look at his phone any more the whole time. Afterwards, Tao noticed the response from Sun Yingzhe's studio while browsing the news on Weibo, and it was not until then that Fang opened Weibo again.

Sun's studio came to explain that Sun had taken part in the audition of the film indeed, but he gave up the role later voluntarily because it conflicted with his schedule. The response put the gossiping media into an embarrassing situation.

Sun himself posted a message on Weibo saying "Sorry, I didn't see it until now. I didn't expect there could be such a misunderstanding. Sorry, my bro. Treat you to dinner next time. @Fang Qiao".

The guy involved had replied, therefore his fans were willing to cease all activities naturally. Many of them even went to leave messages to Fang Qiao saying "These trolls are anti-fans of Sun Yingzhe, and don't care about it."

Fang had to show his admiration to Lu. Even what was black could be washed into white. But at the same time, he felt very sorry for Sun Yingzhe. As a victim, Sun was forced to put in a good word for the offender. How aggrieved Sun must be!

Fang decided to offer a VIP card of his cake shop to Sun, sending cakes to the guy every day.

That night there was another famous idol-Han Jiayue, who went to share the post of Sun on Weibo unexpectedly with the comment- "I also want to eat. @Fang". Han's words succeeded in pushing the topic- #Han always stands by Fang# to the Weibo trending topic list. Besides, it also made the remaining CP fans of Qiao-Yue get excited for quite a while.

As for Han, the moment he posted on Weibo, he switched to WeChat to contact Lin Yao. "I have shared it. When are you going out with me on earth!"
