Chapter 319: You are Still So Dramatic

[I can’t believe that a post from so many years ago can be dug up. This is simply amazing.]

[How difficult can it be? She was apprehended but she was not expelled from college anyway.]

[The girl is the post seems to be none other than the singer Zhong Hongyu. I can’t believe that she was actually a thief who tried to steal someone else’s perfume in the past. What kind of person is she?]

[I compared the picture of the girl to a picture of Zhong Hongyu. It is definitely her.]

Very soon, Zhong Hongyu’s name started appearing on the hot search.

The netizens were very happy when they saw this juicy piece of news on the Internet. After all, Zhong Hongyu was pretty well known in the music industry because of her rock music. No one would have expected her to have such a tainted history.

Shortly afterwards, the netizens began conducting their research and investigation into Zhong Hongyu’s family background, and this subsequently triggered a series of reactions from the public.

First of all, the netizens pointed out the fact that Zhong Hongyu changed her age. She was already twenty-one years old when she was admitted into B University. It was not a huge problem for her to be attending college at an older age, but why did she lie that she was only twenty-three years old now?

Secondly, the netizens discovered that Zhong Hongyu had a long relations.h.i.+p history during her college days. This did not mean anything at all because it was not surprising for anyone to be in love during their schooling days. However, what was absolutely unacceptable was the fact that this woman had publicly stated that she was a very innocent student during her college days and that she did not have any time to fall in love at that time because she was focusing all of her time and effort on studying music.

Hmm…

She had dug her own grave.

[Zhong Hongyu is really full of lies! How can someone with her personality and character attract any fans at all?]

[She is really a very unpleasant person. She is not talented, she cannot sing well, and she even has a sh*tty personality to add on to the list.]

[How can this kind of third rate singer actually occupy most of the first cla.s.s resources? I think that she should be blacklisted!]

Zhong Hongyu started to panic when she saw all the negative news and comments all over the Internet. The public relations team in her agency quickly stepped up to come up with a solution to deal with this matter and contain it before it would be blown out of proportions. However, it was impossible for Zhong Hongyu to refute all the solid evidence brought up by the netizens.

She was the one in control of her own personality.

Now that the truth had come to light, there was nothing that anyone could do to help her.

The agency weighed the weight of this matter and in their opinion, faking her age and pretending to be single during her college days were in fact not a big deal at all. However, the most important thing was the fact that Zhong Hongyu was a thief.

Therefore, they decided to place their focus on this matter instead. They contacted the other party immediately. The other party was none other than the girl whom Zhong Hongyu tried to steal the perfume from in the past. She was now a music teacher teaching piano lessons at B University.

As soon as they contacted the other party, she immediately agreed to come out and clarify the situation on behalf of Zhong Hongyu without any hesitation at all.

After finding out about this, Zhong Hongyu had a little more confidence and she quickly posted a message on her public social media account. “Anyone who is innocent and does not have a guilty conscience has nothing to fear at all. The truth will come to light soon.”

The netizens were all curious when they saw her comment. Would she still be able to turn this matter around in her favor?

Was she not the one who changed her age?

Was she not the one pretending to be single?

Was she not the one who stole from others?

In fact, the netizens did not care about all of this at all. After all, the netizens were not interested in anything that any of the artistes used to do or be involved in. What the netizens could not accept was simply the fact that Zhong Hongyu was full of lies whenever she opened her mouth.

[Anyone who is innocent and does not have a guilty conscience has nothing to fear at all. She is really very shrewd!]

[I feel sick after reading more news about her.]

[The truth has already come to light, so stop trying to turn things around.]

[I have heard of another juicy story. Zhong Hongyu’s current boyfriend used to be the most handsome boy in B University. He is now a music producer and it is no wonder why Zhong Hongyu could make it this far in the music industry.]

[Garbage! I heard that Zhong Hongyu was in fact the person who stabbed Jiang Yuning in the back and leaked out the news that she would be attending B University’s fiftieth anniversary celebration. They used to be cla.s.smates and roommates before Jiang Yuning dropped out of college. It seems as though Zhong Hongyu had always been jealous and envious of Jiang Yuning because she came from a wealthy and prestigious family. That is the reason she seized the opportunity to intentionally leak the information to the public so that Jiang Yuning would be humiliated and reprimanded by the netizens and students from B University.]

[Hahaha. This is what I call heaven’s retribution. Everyone was flocking to B University’s forum to read about the news involving Jiang Yuning but who would have known that they would find out about Zhong Hongyu’s scandals instead? This is really a very juicy piece of gossip!]

Zhong Hongyu was sitting on the sofa at home as she read through the netizens’ comments on the internet and she was so angry that she threw her cell phone onto the floor.

This was because she had never thought that her tainted history would be dug up one day.

Moreover, once a black spot was discovered, it was only a matter of time before all of her dark secrets were exposed one after another.

Zhong Hongyu could not help but s.h.i.+ver a little as she thought about all of the things that she used to do in the past.

She would spend many nights in the male dormitory during the holidays and aside from that, she would appear in many different male dormitories every other day.

“Sister Hong, is someone out to get you? Is Jiang Yuning the one manipulating you and doing all these behind your back?” Zhong Hongyu’s a.s.sistant asked in a gentle voice as she sat directly opposite Zhong Hongyu with a frightened expression on her face. After all, the a.s.sistant knew that Zhong Hongyu had a foul temper and she would often smash anything in her way whenever she got angry.

“Who else could it be?” Zhong Hongyu replied as she sat on the sofa with her eyes closed as she tried to meditate and keep her emotions under control. “So, this is how she wants to do things? Alright then. Perhaps I should let everyone in Luo City know about what Jiang Yuning and the three young masters had done that night in the hotel room.”

“Sister Hong, no one will believe you anymore. Moreover, I think that you should not do that because if you do so, you will definitely drag everyone else down with you. The agency might have to suffer along with you as well,” Zhong Hongyu’s a.s.sistant stopped her before she could act rashly. “You have to understand the status of the three young masters in Luo City. They are not people that those in the entertainment industry can afford to offend.”

“What should I do then? Should I just sit back and endure all of this humiliation?”

The a.s.sistant thought for a moment before she finally replied, “Sister Hong, why don’t you calm down first? We should clarify the matter involving the theft before we think of countermeasures to handle the public’s opinions, okay? Don’t worry too much about it for now.”

She had already fallen all the way down at the moment, so how could she not be anxious at all?

What Zhong Hongyu hated the most was the fact that she did not know more powerful people. That was the only reason why Jiang Yuning could trample all over her.

Things kept escalating on the Internet and the three words ‘Zhong Hongyu’ became a taboo among the entertainment industry in the blink of an eye.

Very soon, Zhong Hongyu’s agency arranged for Zhong Hongyu and the other party from the past to attend a press conference in front of the press and media.

Zhong Hongyu put on her superb acting skills once again and she started crying as soon as she faced the cameras.

“Everything in the past was really just a huge misunderstanding. Everyone has really misunderstood me. I really did not do anything shameful at all. This is contrary to all the teachings that my parents have taught me ever since I was a young girl. I swear that I did not steal anything, and that I am a decent and upright person. I do not condone stealing. Therefore, I hope that everyone will realize that this was all a misunderstanding and stop criticizing and attacking me for something I did not do.”

Everyone could not help but look at Zhong Hongyu’s pitiful face as she faced the cameras.

She looked pale and helpless, and it seemed as though she had not eaten at all for the past three days.

At this time, her agent quickly stepped forward to support Zhong Hongyu. “Hongyu is really beaten down and she has really suffered a lot because of everyone’s unjustified accusations for the past two days. She also came down with a high fever last night. I hope that everyone can understand the situation and clear their wrong perception of Hongyu after today’s clarification.”

“It’s okay. I can continue,” Zhong Hongyu said softly as she coughed twice. This made the young woman standing beside her feel nauseous immediately.

The young woman could not help but sneer as she looked at Zhong Hongyu, who looked helpless and weak in front of the cameras. “Zhong Hongyu, you are really good at acting…after so many years, you are still so dramatic.”
