"An Wen, look at what Lu Maner posted on Weibo. Some people are already scolding you online because of that." Jiang Shiyu simply wanted to scroll through Weibo for a while, but she had never expected to see that An Wen's official page was a complete mess now.
The other girl glanced at it before she asked, "Where's Lu Maner?"
"She said that she was unwell and went back to the hotel. Do you want me to go over and look for her?" Jiang Shiyu asked.
"There's no need. She left before the end of the filming banquet because she was afraid that I'd ask her about this in front of everyone. Lu Maner might retaliate if you go looking for her. She might even make matters worse when that happens."
"What are we supposed to do now, An Wen?" Jiang Shiyu asked.
"I'm not popular and I don't have any representative work. She's trying to use her popularity to ruin my reputation, but it's completely impossible for me to fight back. Furthermore, she didn't mention my name in her Weibo post at all. If I step forward and refute her accusations, it will seem like I was guilty all along," An Wen said once she had analyzed everything.
"An Wen, I understand what you're trying to say. However, you've just debuted, but you're already labeled as someone who did plastic surgery and has a financial backer. Once the general public has this impression of you, your reputation is going to be completely ruined." Jiang Shiyu anxiously said, "You don't even have a public relations manager because you haven't signed a contract with the company. Whatever, I'm going to contact them for you now."
"Don't go!" An Wen held her back and said, "We have to wait for them to come looking for me."
"Who's going to come looking for you once your reputation is ruined?"
"I can't openly fight back this time, but I can still stand up to her in a non-confrontational way. Perhaps I won't be able to undo the damage completely, but it's better than causing bloodshed." An Wen held her phone while a stern look faintly appeared in her gaze.
However, she would need to trouble her fans now.
"I'm going to sing a song for everyone," An Wen suddenly said as she stood up.
As he was slightly drunk, Xia Wei was dragging Cheng Hanwen around and awkwardly dancing. When he heard what An Wen had said, he clapped his hands and replied, "Lil Sis An, go for it!"
Everyone else was cheering with him because they were all in good spirits at the banquet.
An Wen borrowed a guitar from the band before she sat on the stage and started playing the instrument while singing. The crowd quietened down and watched her while she sang in a gentle and touching voice. The beautiful young woman in a white dress sounded like she was pouring out the grievances from her heart when she sang emotionally. When the lights shined on her, it seemed like her entire body had lit up.
The end-of-filming banquet was completely shrouded in a melancholic atmosphere when An Wen gently sang. However, she was still faintly smiling as though nothing could ruin her mood.
She had only sung one song before Ye Qiaofeng told the band to go onto the stage and sing a regular song as he was afraid that An Wen would ruin the atmosphere.
Jiang Shiyu had recorded An Wen's entire performance and posted it on the popular topics.
The Bodyguards instantly rushed over to praise her.
[This video has such a high-definition and is breathtaking. I love the person who posted it.]
[What should I do? I really felt like crying after watching this video. How could someone bully such a kind person like her?]
[Is An Wen singing so miserably because she saw something?]
[I cried after listening to her.]
[I'm crying but she still managed to smile. She's such a strong person. I feel so bad for her.]
[The Bodyguards will help An Wen and protect her. We will be her armor and back her up.]
[An Wen, please don't worry if you've accidentally seen those terrible comments. The Bodyguards will always love and support you. We will also fight back for you.]
…
Initially, the netizens and superficial fans who only cared about looks merely came over to join the fun. However, all of them became Bodyguards when they realized that An Wen was being criticized for no reason tonight.
This incident caused a commotion throughout the entire night. The next day, Jiang Shiyu called An Wen the first thing in the morning and frantically said, "Hurry up and log on to Weibo now!"
The trending searches read, [Lu Maner's Thoughts On The Last Night Of Filming], [An Wen Plastic Surgery], and [Ren Lu Pities Lu Maner].
Ren Lu had written a comment on Lu Maner's Weibo post that said, [My heart aches for you. I could never imagine the dark moments that you have experienced].
