Chapter 110: Telling the Boss in Secret

After these events were exposed, the “kindhearted” netizens began digging into who her backer was.

Bentleys, Maybachs, Porsches... Yun Fu had been seen getting out of all kinds of luxury cars from the back seat.

And the newest photo showed a BMW with a license plate made entirely of eights, picking her up from the venue of a press conference.

“Damn, this is clearly not just one backer anymore. These are all big shots. Having a pretty face really does pay off.”

“Don’t these people mind the filth? A woman who’s been slept with by so many men—just thinking about it makes me sick.”

“As long as she’s slutty enough, who cares how many people have slept with her?”

The comments that followed gradually became vile beyond words.

On the other side, Xi Rouer, Qiu Fangfei, Tong Zhenzhen, and Zeng Yuzi were looking at the comments on their phones with great satisfaction.

Each of them could not help but tell their teams to buy more paid commenters; the best outcome would be for the fire to burn even hotter.

Zeng Yuzi smiled brilliantly, unable to resist posting another message on her microblog.

“Only a sincere girl is loved~”

Paired with her fans’ declarations of devotion, anyone with a discerning eye could tell she was implying Yun Fu.

Her fans immediately began showering her with flattery while dragging Yun Fu through the mud.

“Someone with such malicious intent is disgusting to the extreme. Not only is her heart vicious, she’s filthy too!”

“Poor our darling, having to work with her. Just being near her must ruin your appetite.”

“I don’t know why so many people say she’s beautiful. She’s obviously just had plastic surgery!”

“Exactly, exactly!”

After that, more and more people claimed she had undergone cosmetic surgery, even exposing supposed photos of her from the past.

They spoke with such detail and certainty that it was enough to pass for the truth.

If Yun Fu had not known that the original owner had not looked like this as a child, she might have believed it too.

There was far too much nonsense in the entertainment world. To sum it up in one sentence: slander takes only one mouth, while clearing one’s name can wear out one’s legs.

All of this happened in the short hour while they were eating.

Yun Fu took out her phone. She had turned it to silent just now and had not even noticed that Qiao An had called her many times.

Because of Gu Zhishu’s voice, everyone took out their phones as well and skillfully opened the microblog.

Only Shen Yuheng, upon seeing the familiar qipao in the image, lifted his brows slightly and could not help smiling.

“Damn it, those people are shameless. Those cars are clearly all Cousin’s!” Gu Zhishu glared angrily at Lian Hanqi. “Cousin, you’re really something too—why do you always drive a different car every time?”

Lian Hanqi: “...”

Yun Fu was lowering her head to reply to Qiao An’s message. It said, “Xiaofu, don’t read the comments online. I’ve already contacted your fans and gone to gather evidence. It will all come to light very soon.”

Suddenly, warmth settled over her hand.

She looked up and met Lian Hanqi’s eyes, bright and dazzling like a river of stars.

“Do you need me to handle it for you?”

If it had been before, Yun Fu would not have needed anyone. But at this moment, looking into Lian Hanqi’s serious eyes, she somehow nodded as if by some strange compulsion.

Qin Yi, sitting nearby, quickly echoed, “Don’t worry, Xiaofu. We’ll take care of it for you. It’ll be done very quickly.”

Su Changzhou said, “We’re friends. Friends help one another.”

Lu Ting added, “I’ll pick out two bodyguards for you. I see that stars all have bodyguards. If anything happens, they can protect you too.”

Shen Yuheng removed his gold-rimmed glasses and rubbed his eyes. The narrow shape of those eyes immediately took on a sharper, more piercing glint, and his features turned severe, as though a layer of disguise had been torn away.

“That qipao was designed by my wife. A few days ago, she told me she had met a model she was very satisfied with. I never expected it to be such a coincidence. I’ll explain everything clearly for you.”

Besides them, Yun Fu lowered her head and looked at the flood of private messages pouring in.

Beyond those ugly words, there were many strangers—yet they warmed her all the same.

“Xiaofu, don’t be afraid. The Puffs will always believe in you!”

“Don’t listen to what other people say. Listen to the people who love you. We love you, and we all believe you’re the best. All of that is fake.”

“I trust my own judgment. My girl may not talk much, but she’s warm and kind. She would never do something like that.”

“I have nothing to feel guilty about, and I believe in you!”

Yun Fu raised her head and looked at them. A smile gradually bloomed across her face.

Like the warm winter sun, like a faint breeze, that beautiful face suddenly came alive, growing even more movingly lovely.

“Thank you.” Not only thank you all, but thank you as well.

She seemed to understand all at once why so many people wanted to become celebrities, because the feeling of being loved unconditionally was truly wonderful.

She was very fortunate.

Gu Zhishu jabbed furiously at his phone while grinding his teeth. “Find out who’s spreading these rumors and I’ll wipe out their whole family!”

“This is a lawful society. What exactly do you think you’re doing?”

“Exactly. Zhishu, you should learn from your Brother Yi here and give them a taste of their own medicine.” Qin Yi curved his lips. “I’ve already found out that the one named Zeng Yuzi is the instigator. Tsk tsk. Looks like she wants to get herself kicked out of the entertainment industry.”

Lian Hanqi had gone out to make a phone call.

Everyone in this room had nothing to do with her, yet at this moment they were all helping her for her sake.

And she, quietly seated to the side, did not have to worry about a single thing.

This feeling was both novel and beautiful.

Qiao An was the first to post on microblog, doing so ten minutes after the incident broke. As the voice of Yun Fu’s team, she immediately denied the claim that Yun Fu had obtained those resources through improper means.

The Yun Fu she described was hardworking, ambitious, and brave. Every resource she had came from others reaching out first, and every contract had been signed through legitimate channels.

The comments below were a wall of abuse.

Just when the onlookers thought Yun Fu was about to be completely ruined, an account that had only ever posted five messages since its creation made its sixth post.

It was a set of photos from a garage, filled with luxury cars.

Lian Group: @Yun Fu, tell me which one you want to ride next time, and I’ll secretly tell the boss~

One of the photos was the very car from the rumor post that had picked Yun Fu up.

Lian Group, a conglomerate that dominated the business world, encompassed industries such as high technology, automobiles, aviation, pharmaceuticals, real estate... and more.

And the owner of this behemoth was Lian Hanqi.

He sat at the top of the world’s richest list, his name perpetually appearing on bounty lists and on every ranking of wealth and power.

Everyone vaguely knew he was a young and exceptional man, but very little information about him had ever circulated.

No one had expected that when this man finally caused a stir again, it would be because of a female celebrity.

Someone even dug up the post the old Mrs. Lian had made back then, saved as a screenshot by someone else.

“Damn it! I know Yun Fu can heal, so that means she saved Old Mrs. Lian and then met Lian Hanqi! Damn, damn, damn! Forget those little resources—would it even be too much for Yun Fu to become the top female lead directly?”

“So there was never any backer at all, but Lian Hanqi? Is that the Lian Hanqi I’m thinking of?”
