Chapter 42: The Ex-Girlfriend of a Wealthy Young Man (42)

As soon as the Weibo post “How a popular singer used a well-known musician to rise to the top” appeared, it was forwarded by countless people.

In the post, there were hashtags like “pure angel,” “singer with the most beautiful voice,” “newcomer most dedicated to music,” and such, all of which did not overtly name Tang Guo and Chen Yuesheng.

Two key hashtags, namely, “the baffling surprise guest” and “releasing a record within a year of her debut,” were the most compelling.

With these hashtags, there was no need to explicitly name names for everyone to know who the post was referring to.

Finally, there was an intimate picture of the two people in question. The photo only showed their side profiles, but they seemed to be sharing a very intimate moment.

This made people believe that what they were seeing was the truth.

And there was also the previous incident where Tang Guo was slandered for having found herself a sugar daddy. But those rumors had eventually died down, as there was little evidence to support them.

Now the evidence was out in the open. A newcomer who had just made her debut a few months ago had become a surprise guest on “The Child of Music”? On the other hand, Lu Qi, who had debuted at the same time, was just a participating member on “The Child of Music.”

Less than a year after her debut, she was releasing her own record?

Who could do that?

The only way that was possible was if someone were helping her.

Chen Yuesheng didn’t really know Tang Guo, at least not until she’d gone on the show, so why would he help her for no reason?

This incredibly intimate photo told everything.

Chen Yuesheng was in his thirties, and he was still a bachelor. He had never gotten too close to any other female singer before, so why was he suddenly getting so close to a newcomer?

If the two of them were in a normal relationship, then, given his character, he would have announced it long ago.

The fact that it had been several months and there was still no official announcement only served to show that the two of them were in a shameful relationship.

For a while, posts like “Tang Guo sold herself to become the mysterious surprise guest on ‘The Child of Music’ and got Chen Yuesheng to help her release her new album” were everywhere.

Many people now hated Tang Guo as much as they had once liked her.

A few months ago, Tang Guo wasn’t popular. Even if some negative news about her had broken out, not many people were berating her over it.

Now, things were different. Tang Guo’s songs were known throughout the entire nation, which caused the backlash surrounding the news of her supposedly dating Chen Yuesheng to escalate rapidly.

Other than Tang Guo’s diehard fans, the rest had all converted to anti-fans. They all scolded Tang Guo for being shameless and proclaimed that they had chosen the wrong person to idolize.

Even though the diehard fans said that the news wasn’t worth talking about and had stepped forward to say, “We have to believe in our idol,” their words were still drowned out by the countless people berating her.

“We’re definitely not going to buy an album from such a dirty person.”

“Even if her songs are really good, she herself is filthy.”

“Her very existence is an insult to our god.”

“Our god must have been deluded by her. Or, what’s more likely, she must have threatened him.”

“Yes, Shengsheng has never been intimate with any other female singer before. He’s always maintained a clean reputation. How could Tang Guo pull him into such deep waters the moment she appeared? This woman must have used some kind of means to threaten Shengsheng.”

The moment these few posts appeared, Chen Yuesheng’s fans also started blasting hateful comments on Tang Guo’s Weibo.

Tang Guo was blankly scrolling through her Weibo while the System surreptitiously observed her face.

Weakly, it said, [Host, you’re a supporting actress. It’s not surprising that you encountered something like this. After all, a supporting actress is fated to have more setbacks and frustrations than others. You just have to be more optimistic.]

[Supporting actresses, even the number one supporting actress, will always be less fortunate than others.]

[In fact, it’s quite good this way.] The System wanted to say more, but for some inexplicable reason, it felt a chill come over itself and quickly took cover.

As Tang Guo continued scrolling through the list of posts on her phone, she received a phone call from Chen Yuesheng.
