Free Web NovelChapter 1154: Chapter 1154: Perfunctory!
The movie had been in theaters for a week and broke one billion at the box office; to pull in numbers like that in a slow season was enough to call it one of the best films of the year.
As a veteran Best Actor, Li Yushen’s acting and looks were flawless. The only pity was that he was now a married man—of course, his fans prayed every day for him and his wife to break up.
It wasn’t that they wanted to actually get him for themselves, it was more that his fans felt he didn’t deserve his wife.
Recently, when he was on a show, Li Yushen looked straight at the national audience and said, "Sorry to disappoint everyone, but today is another day where divorce is absolutely impossible. Not today, not tomorrow, never ever."
After the episode aired, fans flooded his Weibo cursing him for being shameless, an old cow eating young grass, and even coming out to show off. They all called on his wife to dump him hard.
As for Mu Yan, she was already hugely popular to begin with. The movie’s box office success undoubtedly added more shine to her; the number of people questioning her acting dropped a lot.
But when a movie really blows up, it’s usually followed by some dirt. There will always be people who can’t stand you and rack their brains trying to smear you.
Sure enough, aside from accusing Mu Yan of sleeping her way up and being kept by a sugar daddy, someone directly exposed that she dumped Lin Jiamu to climb up the ladder.
Mu Yan and Lin Jiamu had indeed been rumored together before, and quite a few people had analyzed that Lin Jiamu liked Mu Yan.
Ever since the rumor was clarified, Lin Jiamu seemed to be deliberately drawing a line between him and Mu Yan, almost never reposting any Weibo related to her again.
And in the past half year, there hadn’t been any news of the two interacting at all, which showed that their relationship had basically dropped to freezing point.
The whistleblower claimed to be Lin Jiamu’s girlfriend; the two of them had been together even before Lin Jiamu debuted. But after he met Mu Yan, he supposedly fell for her instead, poured his heart out for her, helped her develop in the entertainment industry, and took care of her and her younger brother. Over the years, a large portion of Mu Yan’s younger brother’s medical expenses had been paid by Lin Jiamu.
Who would’ve thought that after Mu Yan met a sugar daddy, she immediately kicked Lin Jiamu to the curb. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
But Lin Jiamu could never quite let Mu Yan go, and that whistleblower begged Mu Yan to let him go and give Lin Jiamu back to her.
For a while, both Mu Yan and Lin Jiamu were labeled scumbag man and cheap slut, and there were plenty of people online hurling abuse at them.
Lin Jiamu and Mu Yan both came out one after the other denying the exposé, stating that they were just friends and had never been together.
But Lin Jiamu’s fans didn’t buy it, insisting their idol had been wronged and cheated on, and cursed Mu Yan out as a trashy, cheap bitch.
Meanwhile, passersby felt that Lin Jiamu wasn’t any good either, and that he and Mu Yan were a match made in heaven, that kind of thing.
Mu Yan knew the exposé wasn’t true, but she was worried the person really was Lin Jiamu’s girlfriend, so she gave Lin Jiamu a call.
Lin Jiamu sounded evasive. "I’ll handle this. Don’t worry."
"I’m fine. I’ve been getting smeared nonstop ever since I debuted anyway," Mu Yan laughed. "If there’s ever a day when no haters are trashing me, I’d actually feel like something’s off."
"Mm, how have you been lately?" He asked.
"Pretty good. You? We haven’t seen each other in ages. What have you been busy with lately?"
"Writing songs, shooting movies, same as before."
"Then let’s grab a meal some other day? Ask Qin Xi to come too, and have her bring her boyfriend along. You probably still haven’t met her boyfriend, right?" Mu Yan said with a smile.
"Mm, when there’s time, we’ll all get together."
Mu Yan could hear the vague perfunctory tone in his voice and asked, "Lin Jiamu, are you deliberately avoiding me?"
