CHAPTER 37: CHAPTER 37: CLARIFICATION

A few days later, a piece of news shocked the entire entertainment industry: Popular star Tong Yan went to the hospital for a checkup at night under mysterious circumstances, suspected of being pregnant, accompanied by several photos. Tong Yan liked wearing casual clothes, and that day she went to the hospital in slippers and a big T-shirt, looking disheveled, and there was even a photo of her looking excited. The newspaper also detailed her recent behavior, mentioning several visits to the hospital and even suddenly switching to flat shoes. With this reasoning, it did seem somewhat plausible.

The newspapers were overwhelming, and reports about her flooded Weibo, WeChat, and major websites. Gu Feng was almost driven mad with countless calls coming in, and the phone at Fengyun Studio was ringing non-stop. The staff was nearly driven to tears from annoyance, and the phone was almost blown up.

Yang Wen remarked, thanks to Tong Yan, Fengyun Studio didn’t need to advertise anymore. Well done, well done.

Gu Feng knew what he said, and immediately gave him a hard kick. Was that something a person should say?

Li Xin rushed over to find Tong Yan with a newspaper in hand, "Sis, it’s a big deal, a big deal."

Tong Yan had just finished browsing Weibo and calmly said, "Oh, I just found out I’m pregnant."

Li Xin was about to cry with anxiety, "Sis, how can you still be so calm? People are saying such nasty things about you outside."

"Since it’s not true, why bother worrying about it?" Tong Yan smiled, "Besides, Brother Feng is around." Moreover, such a scheme was really lacking in sophistication.

Gu Feng still had a few tricks up his sleeve; he swiftly held a press conference that afternoon, looking serious, "I’ve never seen an actor so dedicated to their profession, that in just three days, she got covered in injuries, so severe that when I saw her, her mouth was full of blood, and her hands were still bleeding. I can’t believe the love and respect an actor has for their profession can be met with such slander. I don’t know if she would feel heartbroken if she knew. As her manager, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and give her a satisfactory explanation!"

The venue was silent; no one had any questions. Gu Feng didn’t say much more and hurriedly stepped off the stage. His words were skillfully crafted, neither confirming nor denying the situation, as if discussing something unrelated, but everyone understood.

The press conference was broadcast live, and many people watched. Gu Feng’s words stunned many, and people began to criticize the rumor mongers and started tracing the first person who spread the story.

Tong Yan’s Weibo gained nearly a million more followers. Initially, people saw her as a food lover, and from her role as Jiang Caiju in "Young and Reckless," they knew her as a talented, beautiful, and adorable girl. Now, knowing her respect and dedication to her profession, people admired her even more.

Fans on Weibo said things like:

I love Little Fatty, I’m willing to be Little Fatty’s fan for life.

No wonder there haven’t been updates lately; turns out she was injured. So heart-wrenching. Little Fatty, take care of yourself.

As a fan of Little Fatty, I feel so lucky. Little Fatty, don’t push yourself too hard. Is your mouth also injured? Little Fatty, don’t starve yourself skinny. No, I have to send some food to Little Fatty.

...

A few days later, Fengyun Studio received countless packages, all sent to Little Fatty Tong Yan. Upon opening, they found all were food. Before long, the staff divided them up, with Yang Wen grabbing the most, claiming it was to help her regain her health...

When Tong Yan heard about this, she was heartbroken and exasperated: couldn’t those gluttonous wolves be any more shameless!

That day, Tong Yan received a text message from Gu Feng, containing just two words: Tang Tian.

Even though it was just two words, Tong Yan instantly understood. It was Tang Tian who did it. She had considered it might be Jiang Shishi but hadn’t thought it would be Tang Tian. She remembered how clever Tang Tian was in her past life, deceiving her so well and spinning her around, so how could she do something so brainless now?
