“I’m sure Zhang Xiaoning and the others definitely won’t keep it a secret.”
Upon entering the dance studio, Guo Ran started with a worried look on her face.
If the wind knows the secret, you can’t bla it for carrying the secret to the entire forest.
“Whether they talk about it or not, actually, doesn’t matter much, just like they said, if they could find it, then others definitely could too.”
Xu Siyi analyzed, “Originally, Shu Rui buying a car was a topic many people discussed, and now it’s probably even hotter.
They might not say anything in public, but God knows what they talk about in private.”
They were very anxious, yet Li Shuru herself seed not to care too much, unconcernedly pulling out her phone and logging into Xingkong.
Zhang Xiaoning and the others indeed hadn’t been talking nonsense; beneath her videos, at so unknown ti, comnts started appearing similar to people offering large sums for the videos.
So people, caught in the rhythm, also started adding fuel to the fire.
After all, the internet never lacks keyboard warriors who readily believe rumors, relishing chaos.
Zheng Jingjing and the others also started checking Xingkong, and after a while, they slowly realized the seriousness of the situation.
Not only her school, but even Li Shuru’s class had been exposed.
“These people are really too much, Shu Rui, you should call the police!”
Guo Ran said indignantly.
“Calling the police is useless, they won’t care about this, and the law does not concern itself with crowds.
Not to speak of Shu Rui, there are plenty of celebrities who get cyberbullied.”
Although Xu Siyi’s words sounded harsh, they were an indisputable reality.
“So what do we do?
Just let them spread rumors?”
“There’s a way.”
Xu Siyi put down her phone and looked towards Li Shuru.
“Si Yi, hurry up and tell us!” Zheng Jingjing urged eagerly.
Among them, Xu Siyi was known to be the most resourceful and full of ideas.
“You clarifying yourself definitely won’t work, it might even make things worse, so the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.”
“The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it?”
Guo Ran looked inquiring.
Xu Siyi nodded.
“Since the problem started with Hanjiang Guying, only he can solve it.
It’s actually very simple, just get him to explain during your live broadcast.”
Zheng Jingjing and Guo Ran had a sudden realization.
“Right, that’s a good idea.”
“Shu Rui, you should talk to him quickly.”
Li Shuru remained silent.
“Shu Rui, now is not the ti for modesty.
If it’s not cleared up, it won’t be long before the whole school knows.
The school might even call you in for a talk,”
Guo Ran wasn’t being alarmist.
If the situation blew up and affected East Sea University’s reputation, it wouldn’t just be Li Shuru’s personal issue, the school definitely wouldn’t turn a blind eye.
“Shu Rui, what exactly is your relationship with Hanjiang Guying now?
Will he help?”
Xu Siyi clearly thought deeper than Zheng Jingjing and the others.
With patrons of that level, it’s not as if you ask them to clarify and they just do it.
“It’s okay,”
Li Shuru spoke vaguely.
“Then send him a ssage and see what he says.”
Li Shuru nodded and intentionally walked away from the other girls, to the side.
If it had been before, she would only have been able to send a private ssage on Xingkong and then wait for a reply, but now she didn’t need to.
“Are you busy?”
She made a phone call.
“Mm, on my way back.”
Jiang Chen glanced at the docunt bag he was holding in the taxi.
“Did you see those comnts on Xingkong?”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was sowhat puzzled.
“What comnts?”
Hearing his response, Li Shuru realized he was not aware of the issue yet.
“Soone has been spreading rumors on Xingkong, saying that you’re keeping .”
“I’m keeping you?”
Jiang Chen was astonished.
“East Sea Solitary Shadow.”
Li Shuru gave a simple explanation.
Almost instantly, Jiang Chen understood.
With fa cos controversy; the story between the top strear and the female broadcaster had always been the kind of issue that sparked the most discussion online.
“Is it serious?”
“It shouldn’t be too serious yet, but so students from our academy who follow already know.
I was just on Starry Sky and felt that soone must be deliberately fanning the flas for it to spread this quickly.”
Jiang Chen’s brows furrowed slightly, realizing the thorny nature of the problem.
“You an soone is targeting you on purpose?”
“Yeah.”
Li Shuru glanced over at Xu Siyi and the other girls; they too were looking at her while she was on the phone.
“Si Yi said that the best solution right now would be for you to clear things up in your capacity as ‘East Sea Solitary Shadow’.”
“Do they know I am ‘East Sea Solitary Shadow’?”
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.
“Not yet, I haven’t told them.”
After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen said, “Don’t worry for now, let think about how to handle this.”
“Okay.”
Without asking another word, Li Shuru softly said, “Then I’ll hang up first.”
“Yeah.”
After hearing his consent, Li Shuru hung up the phone.
“Shu Rui, who were you calling just now?”
Seeing Li Shuru put down her phone, Zheng Jingjing and the others imdiately walked over.
“Jiang Chen.”
“Jiang Chen?”
Xu Siyi was puzzled, “Didn’t you say to contact ‘East Sea Solitary Shadow’?
What’s the use of calling Jiang Chen?”
Guo Ran seed to realize sothing, her eyes filled with mischief, “Shu Rui, you’re not worried that Jiang Chen will misunderstand, are you?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Siyi and Zheng Jingjing, who hadn’t thought of that, were both taken aback.
“Jiang Chen knows about ‘East Sea Solitary Shadow’?”
Zheng Jingjing asked instinctively.
Li Shuru nodded, “I’ve told him already.”
Xu Siyi and the other girls looked at each other, a multitude of feelings stirring in their hearts.
It seed Shu Rui was not just talking; she truly regarded Jiang Chen as her significant other.
Otherwise, why would she have this problem and not think of a solution, instead reporting to Jiang Chen imdiately?
They say a woman in love can lose herself, and they had thought this could never happen to Shu Rui, but now…
“Why are you all looking at like that?”
Li Shuru seed unaffected by the comnts online, smiling slightly.
“Alright, it’s ti to get changed.”
“Shu Rui, you haven’t gotten in touch with ‘East Sea Solitary Shadow’ yet!”
Xu Siyi hurriedly said.
Li Shuru’s steps paused.
“It’s fine now.”
It’s fine now?
Xu Siyi and the others exchanged glances, all sowhat bewildered.
But Li Shuru went straight to change into her dance clothes without further explanation.
Although she didn’t know the specifics of Jiang Chen’s background, soone who could spend over ten million on gifts surely had social power and connections that were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
This had beco apparent from the way Bai Haoran had been scared into self-harm last ti.
Even though, in the eyes of ordinary students, Li Shuru, the beauty of the arts academy, was a lofty goddess, that didn’t an she didn’t know when to put aside her pride.
So things should be left to n to handle.
Since Jiang Chen had already asked her not to worry, she should choose to trust him.
