Chapter 56: My Brother's Fiancé...?

User96435345: Chasing our idol is just too hard. We waited for our gege all day, but we were chased away by Gu Wei. [sobsob.jpg]

Gu Wei took one look and knew the clip was from that day, after work, when they returned to the hotel and encountered He Cheng's stalkers. At that time, Gu Wei had only thought about getting the stalkers out of there. He hadn't considered that one of them had a camera, and that she could have been filming. Now, with this clip taken out of context, it clearly looked like Gu Wei was in the wrong.

@Chengzi Gege I Love You: @T.ATW-GuWei, you went too far! What right do you have to get rid of our gege's fans? This kind of behavior is really super low.

@Yueyue Loves He Cheng: Why can't Gu Wei just focus on doing his own work? Ugh, why does he have to interfere with us fans? Listen to him! He's talking like he's some hotshot.

The worst part of a story like this was when the story was deliberately spun in one direction. When that version of events gained momentum, the truth no longer mattered. He Cheng's fans led the pack, and many passersby also joined in on the attack against Gu Wei without wondering what had really happened.

@Wooden Snowman: This Gu Wei is just looking for trouble. He's trending practically every other day, and it's always for some sort of scandal. I'm really sick of seeing his name already.

@Blanket Fort: Agreed. First he's a plagiarist, then he's even shameless enough to try to leech fame from an esports player. I get annoyed just seeing his name now.

@Little Hedgehog's Fulingbing: @Blanket Fort, no one ever proved anything about that dance choreography incident, and Jiang Xun and Gu Wei have a good relationship. Before you attack someone so baselessly, could you at least try to grow a brain?

@Raw Ginger Darling Loves Enyuan: Oh, shut up already, there's no way you're washing him clean of his crimes. He plagiarized that dance choreography, end of story. He should just stop dancing. He's not fit to be a lead dancer.

"So, what the hell?" Manager Zhao demanded. "Didn't I tell you not to start anything with He Cheng?"

"They were stalkers," Gu Wei explained. "They were touching the cast and crew, and I stopped them, but He Cheng didn't seem to care."

Plenty of other people had been present at the time. They must have all seen what really happened. But Ning Yao wasn't popular enough to interfere with something like this, and Xuan Huitong was a little aloof and indifferent towards others. She probably didn't care enough to butt in.

"Then I get it, and it's not a big problem," Manager Zhao said, though she still sounded rather tired. "I'll see if the hotel has any surveillance footage of the incident. You don't have to respond to any of this. It's clearly just meant as an attack on you, so the agency will take care of it."

His manager hung up then, and Gu Wei moved to sit on the bed. He thought he had been attacked so often by anti-fans that he'd gotten used to it. He thought he wouldn't be so affected by these things anymore, but when faced with a new 'scandal', he still felt down and depressed.

He didn't want Jiang Xun to see this side of him.

The dance choreography scandal felt like something that would stain him for life. He couldn't dodge those accusations or throw them away. At the slightest provocation, his anti-fans would trot out that old story without a single care for the truth of what actually happened back then. In many people's eyes, controversial celebrities just deserved to be attacked. Whether or not they responded made no difference.

Gu Wei sat quietly for a while, trying to get his mood under control. He could vaguely tell that Jiang Xun was sending someone a message.

After a moment, Jiang Xun moved over and sat on the bed next to him, reaching out to take Gu Wei into his arms. "Come here. Ge wants to give you a hug."
