Chapter 141: Everyone Knows
The first bomb was four pictures taken by Paparazzi.
The first picture contained a black nanny van. The netizens could see the car plate.
In the second picture, a person got down from the car. All the fans of Tang Tu could recognize this person was Tang Tu’s assistant, Ma.
In the third picture, Ma was talking to a young girl with luggage.
In the fourth picture, the girl was getting on the nanny van.
Now, all the netizens could recognize that this girl was the Hanfu Goddess.
The second bomb caused even more explosions. It only contained two photos, which were about Tang Tu and Liu Man’s chat history.
In the first picture, Tang Tu said: “I’m planning on coming back to school to watch your performance.”
Liu Man replied: “No, thanks. Whatever you do, do not come.”
In the second picture, Tang Tu said: “I like you.”
“I’ve already broken up with Shen Mozhen at the start of February, and I’m single. Can you give me a chance?”
These two WeChat photos, which had been put together and edited by Qiao Xin, completely infuriated the netizens.
“Now, this is solid proof. Hanfu Goddess even went onto Tang Tu’s nanny van, and Tang Tu’s must’ve been sitting right inside. We don’t even know what they did in the car. Who can still side with Tang Tu and Hanfu Goddess?”
“Hanfu Goddess’s reply looks like a trick of pretending to be aloof. She’s probably switching between indifference and enthusiasm all the time. She pretended to reject, but she probably really wanted Tang Tu to come to watch her performance.”
“I feel disgusted now just by seeing the words, ‘Hanfu Goddess.’”
“This is no ‘Goddess’; her personality doesn’t even fit her pretty face. She’s destroying my entire perspective of a Deity.”
“Neither of them are moral. It’s such a pity Shen Mozhen was the only one kept in the dark, and she later got given up and became cannon fodder.”
“Shen Mozhen’s the real victim. She was cheated on, but she couldn’t say anything about it. If it weren’t for Zhang Daqiang to break the news, we wouldn’t even have known about this. I feel sorry for Shen Mozhen.”
…
This war online, like a plague, hit Liu Man and Tang Tu like a storm. They did not know about any of this before.
At this time, Tang Tu had just got off the airplane arriving at the capital. He had taken a day off from the cast just to come back to watch Liu Man’s performance.
As soon as his phone connected to 4G, Qiu Jing rang him. Qiu Jing had already called him many times before this.
When he picked up, Qiu Jing’s angry voice flew out.
“Where are you? Why was your phone turned off?”
Tang Tu did not know what had happened, “I was on the airplane just now, and I’ve just arrived at the capital.”
Qiu Jing immediately knew there was going to be trouble, hearing that Tang Tu was at the capital right now, “Whatever you do, don’t go out of the airport. Quick, buy the first plane ticket flying back to Shanghai.”
Tang Tu was still confused, “I’ve already told the cast I’m going to be absent today, and I will be back by tonight. Even if there really is an emergency, I don’t have to attend it right now.”
Qiu Jing laughed coldly, “I will only ask you one question: Did you break up with Shen Mozhen?”
Tang Tu froze, “How did you find out?”
“Looks like the chat history is real.”
Qiu Jing was very disappointed. She was disappointed in Tang Tu but even more disappointed in Liu Man.
She was so wrong back then to think Liu Man would be an honest, kind girl who worked hard. That thought was so ridiculous. Reality proved not only was Liu Man a gold digger, but she also wanted to seduce Tang Tu all along. No wonder Tang Tu kept on showing interest in Liu Man on that meal in Shanghai; Liu Man was interested in him, too.
First, it was her with that vet. Now, it was her with Tang Tu.
There was also a reason why Liu Man played the piano badly. The so-called good at playing Guqin was probably an excuse to deceive the teacher. She didn’t put her mind on learning at all, for she was only thinking about how to hook up men to get rid of her poverty state and get rich.
“Go on Wei Bo yourself to see how big of a joke you’ve become!” Qiu Jing angrily hung up.
Tang Tu immediately logged onto his Wei Bo and was immediately welcomed by hundreds of thousands of pings and comments. He didn’t even bother to check them because he saw the #1 trending tag at his first glance: #Tang-Tu-Dumped-His-Girlfriend-For-Hanfu-Goddess.
He didn’t even have the time to finish reading all three posts from “Newsbreaker Zhang Daqiang” before tourists discovered her.
Tang Tu was wearing a hat, a pair of sunglasses, and a mask just like all celebrities did, but his temperament and stature were too unique. As a result, someone still recognized him.
“He’s Tang Tu!” A young tourist pointed at him and exclaimed.
“Isn’t Tang Tu still in Shanghai for the movie filming?”
“Didn’t people on the internet say? Hanfu Goddess will be performing at Capital Music University today.”
“Then, he and Hanfu Goddess really did…”
…
The tourists immediately took out their phones and got ready to take pictures of Tang Tu. Tang Tu strode into the restroom, covering his face with his hand, and locked the door.
Qiu Jing was right. He really shouldn’t appear at the concert, not to mention he couldn’t even leave the airport.
What Tang Tu was most worried about was Liu Man’s performance.
He dragged her down. He brought harm to her.
When Zhang Daqiang broke the news, the morning concert had already started for more than an hour. Almost in an instant, all the students, teachers, and audiences knew about the news. Everyone ignored the music on stage and started murmuring in private. Even the professors and teachers, who were judges, took out their phones to browse the gossip.
Zhu Xiyang was extremely unhappy. The concert he planned seemed inferior compared to some unrelated rumors.
At this time, Liu Man and Li Xiaoru were resting in the practice room, waiting for their performance this afternoon.
Liu Man kept on getting notified by her Wei Bo. Li Xiaoru commented, “Your phone is so loud…”
Li Xiaoru didn’t even get to finish her sentence before she saw how pale Liu Man’s face had become. It seemed as pale as it was before she fainted last semester after receiving the phone call.
Li Xiaoru thought Liu Man was fainting again and hurriedly helped her stay on her feet. Li Xiaoru asked worriedly, “What happened?”
Liu Man tried hard to calm herself, but her face that showed no color of blood still revealed her helplessness. Li Xiaoru looked at where Liu Man was looking at, which was the phone screen.
It was Princess Man’s Wei Bo page, and on it was the exclusive, prominent passage “Newsbreaker Zhang Daqiang” sent.
“My God…” Li Xiaoru was shocked.
She quickly took out her own phone and opened Wei Bo. She didn’t even need to search for it to see the shocking news, for all the information and photos have been incessantly liked and reposted by netizens that they were automatically stuck on top by default.
“You did have a crush on Tang Tu, but that was from such a long time ago. You were selected by Professor Qiu to film in that movie; how does that relate to Tang Tu? These are all rumors!”
Li Xiaoru was sure Liu Man was innocent, but she was also confused at the same time,
“Did Tang Tu really break up with Shen Mozhen? Are those two pictures of chat history real? He really… He really confessed to you?”
Liu Man went silent. Her eyes seemed blank, and Li Xiaoru didn’t dare to say anything to further stimulate her.
