Chapter 245: Cheating
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Zhen’s fans were in a flurry after the incident. When they saw Lu Zhen send a message to clarify, they immediately had a backbone and united again. They unanimously announced to the public that this public opinion was purely a malicious rumor against Lu Zhen.
However, those netizens who believed that Lu Zhen had cheated on Xi De mocked Lu Zhen’s fans for deceiving themselves. They even said that they were maidservants who protected their master and could not differentiate right from wrong.
The Internet was in an uproar. It seemed that only the fans were willing to believe Lu Zhen and Xi De’s statement.
At around one in the afternoon, Director Ding Zhi called Lu Zhen. After the call was picked up, Director Ding Zhi first apologized to Lu Zhen. “I’m sorry, Lu Zhen. It was our internal problems that caused the movie clips to leak out and brought you bad public opinion. How are you now?
“I’m fine, Director Ding. Have you found out who it is?” Lu Zhen asked.
“Not yet. I’m still having a headache. And even if we find out, it probably won’t be of much use.” Director Ding Zhi sighed.
Indeed, even if they found out who leaked the movie clips, it would not change the current public opinion.
Lu Zhen comforted Director Ding Zhi and hung up. Lu Zhen leaned on the sofa and thought about what to do. Ever since she debuted, she had experienced many scandals, not to mention negative news. There was countless negative news.
However, what was different about this incident was that she might not be able to clarify it. After all, she had no evidence to prove her innocence. As long as the netizens believed that she had cheated, she would be a morally corrupt female celebrity in everyone’s eyes.
This was also the vicious intention of the person who framed her. They wanted to make her unable to testify and ruin her public image.
If this matter could not be handled well, it would undoubtedly have a huge impact on Lu Zhen’s career. Even if a female celebrity with corrupted morals could continue to survive in this circle in the future, she would leave an undeniable stain and would not be able to stand tall and be upright.
Lu Zhen thought of something else. She had just decided to participate in Celebrity Performance Class 2. She wanted to see her father in this variety show, but if this scandal was not resolved, what would he think of her when she saw him?
Lu Zhen clenched her fists tightly. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She’ll think of something else. There must be a way.
Lu Zhen took out her phone, wanting to contact Ye Xuan. At this moment, she did not know who else she could look for. However, just as she was about to dial Ye Xuan’s number, a message suddenly jumped out.
The person who sent the message was the person she had been avoiding recently.
Song Jia said, “Don’t be anxious.”
Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment. She did not expect Song Jia to comfort her when she was in trouble. She was a little touched, so she replied, “It’s fine. I’m really sorry for causing trouble for the company.”
Song Jia didn’t reply to her for a long time. After more than ten minutes, Xiaoxiao suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in with a shocked expression.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Zhen thought that something bad had happened again. Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly asked.
Xiaoxiao didn’t know how to explain to Lu Zhen. “Sister Zhenzhen, search for an account. Hurry!”
Lu Zhen was confused. She turned on her cell phone and searched for the account Xiaoxiao had told her about.
That account was called “Only Lu Zhen”. It sounded very much like the name of a loyal fan of Lu Zhen.
After entering the homepage of the “Only Lu Zhen” account, Lu Zhen saw that this account should have been newly registered. The homepage was very clean, and there was only one message.
The caption of this message was very simple: [She didn’t cheat. We’re very close. Thank you for your concern.]
Lu Zhen was stunned. It was as if she had been struck by lightning. Her mind instantly stopped thinking.
She swiped the screen with stiff fingers and scrolled through the photos attached below the message.
In the photo, she was sitting on a wooden chair. There were a few peach trees with sporadic peach blossoms beside her. The wind stirred the leaves of the peach trees. She suddenly turned around under the tree. There was a hint of delicate embarrassment in her eyes, as if she was very depressed after being teased. However, she looked cute.
Wasn’t this the photo he took for her when she went to the peach forest with Song Jia?
Before Lu Zhen could fully react, she continued to scroll down in a daze.
This newly registered account originally did not have any fans, but at this moment, the likes and reposts quickly soared.
This news was released more than ten minutes ago. Because it was posted on the discussion square and the accompanying photo was Lu Zhen’s photo, it quickly attracted the attention of netizens..
