BXBX NOVEL Chapter 266
“Never mind.” Lu Lixing replied, “Don’t worry, it was my fault for not taking things into consideration for you. I also didn’t step forward in the first instance to clarify the situation on your behalf and face it all together with you. Since we already decided to marry now, whatever happens, we should all face it together, am I right? Besides, this isn’t a big deal.”
Ji Qingqing felt as if a warm current had surged through the bottom of her heart.
Lu Lixing rarely said stuff like this to her. This was the first time he used his identity to defend her from gossip.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already settled everything. If you’re still concerned, you can go online and look.”
Ji Qingqing took out her phone. As expected, Weibo had exploded.
In this short span of time that was less than 30 minutes, everything had been handled orderly by Lu Lixing.
First, the Lu Corporation had released a statement regarding their engagement. And next, on Weibo, the celebrities under Tianyu Entertainment all sent in their well wishes one after another. In that group of celebrities, quite a number of them were celebrities that ended up getting into a scandal because of Ji Qingqing before. And many of Ji Qingqing’s antis had originated as the fans of these celebrities as well.
After seeing their idol send out a congratulatory Weibo post, they all were stupefied for half a day.
Since their idol had already made such a post, they couldn't just interrogate them and ask whether it was because of Lu Lixing’s authority that made them have no choice but to do so. If not, wouldn’t that make things awkward and embarrassing for their idol?
It’s their own idol. If they don’t support them, what else can they do?
Of course, there were also antis that were posting doubts and ridiculing as they wanted to profit from the mess, but they were all rebutted back by the fans. With logical and informative reasoning, the fans pointed out that she and the other celebrity’s relationship were just ordinary friends and pushed the blame of the past scandals on the marketing accounts and reporters.
T/N: 营销号 are marketing accounts where people are getting paid to post specific information to get people’s attention. (Can be gossip, rumors, propaganda, promote content, etc.)
But given the current situation, it already didn’t really matter whether the past scandals were deliberately created by Ji Qingqing or by those media companies to get attention and virality.
The most noteworthy Weibo post was that of a fan who had previously set up a flag, declaring that if Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing get married, she’ll write a 10,000-word statement to apologize to Ji Qingqing. This Weibo post was dug up by busybodies and got crazily reposted by onlookers who were watching the show.
T/N: Is like having a crow’s mouth (立flag). Where you end up self-sabotaging yourself from making a past bold declaration and ironically pave the way for what is to come. I.e. A student declares that it will be his final time cheating and right afterwards he ends up getting caught.
Even so, there indeed were others who behaved like how Ji Qingqing had imagined. They had gotten used to mocking and they mocked Lu Lixing for having a lack of judgment. There were so many beauties but he didn’t seek them out and fell for Ji Qingqing instead.
But those comments were eventually buried by the endless congratulations.
If it hadn’t been not in line with the atmosphere, Ji Qingqing really wanted to ask Lu Lixing whether those were the paid posters he prepared.
Those obviously weren’t the paid posters Lu Lixing prepared. They were prepared by Tianyu Entertainment and it was during the time when Lu Lixing left Chen Shuyi’s room. By then, Chen Shuyi had already contacted the company’s Vice Director Zhou.
His good friend’s wedding was such a huge matter, how could he allow those random diss comments to surface?
Ji Qingqing browsed Weibo for a while. It had only been half an hour and the situation hadn’t spread fully yet, however, because of fancy congratulations, the momentum was pretty much there.
She put down her phone and got a hold of herself. Then she looked at Lu Lixing and sincerely thanked him, “Thank you for everything that you’ve done for me.”
What she saw just now could be considered as the highest amount of positive comments that she’s seen about her during this entire period of time.
And it was all because of Lu Lixing.
Lu Lixing raised his eyebrows. “How do you intend to thank me?”
Ji Qingqing glanced at the camera and smiled. “Are you sure?”
“What do you say?”
The live-stream room audience which had come over from the hype all sent out confused comments.
Ji Qingqing’s eyes curved and she smiled. Then she blurted out, “Hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, thank you!”
——“Congratulations, congratulations! Life points +11. Current life points are worth 13 hours.”
The captions in the live-stream room fell silent for a moment and it was empty for a few seconds.
Afterwards——
【？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？】
The whole screen was filled with question marks.
