To avoid the atmosphere from getting too awkward, she switched on her phone and leaned on the headboard. A lot of messages and notifications popped up including those from her manager and Luo Qiqi, also an entertainment page she regularly followed. A lot of missed calls from her manager and Luo Qiqi were also there.
In the next second, her phone began to ring, flashing her manager's name.
"Lan jie? What happened?"
"My dear, where were you all day? You are the hot topic, you know that? Did you check your weibo? Or the entertainment news?"
Hot topic? Why would she be the hot topic? The list of singers for the ost album was supposed to come out today, but could that cause such a big news?
"Sorry Lan jie, I have been busy all day…..I didn't even look at my phone once in the whole day. What happened?"
"It's a long story!....anyway check your weibo and the top searches, you will know. The company isn't doing PR for you because of....uhhh…nevermind!...I am thinking of ways to deal with this. Until then, stay safe. Don't be reckless, okay?"
"umhmm….ok…I got it, Lan jie."
She first replied to Luo Qiqi that everything was fine.
Then, Zhang Yuqi opened her weibo. It was blowing up. Her pitiful no of followers had decreased but, the number of mentions, comments and posts were increasing steadily.
What in the world was happening?
Then she looked at the top news articles.
[The story of how the scheming bitch Zhang Yuqi got to the top, a shameless person.]
[Reveal Of The Man Behind Zhang Yuqi!!!]
[Beautiful Singer Of 'Walking to You' rumoured to be a mistress, intimate relationship with many men?]
['Walking to You' Insider News: Zhang Yuqi supported by a Rich Man!]
Zhang Yuqi was speechless. With her popularity, she was sure that no one would recognise her even if she walked barefoot down the busiest road of the city. Although the article were written, there was no mention of who this rich man was.
Then she saw the comments under those articles.
[" That damn prostitute!!! She actually dared to appear in the drama series of our Xian Yu! Get lost Zhang Yuqi!!"]
["Evil bitch! You're not allowed to get close to our Xian Yu! Hurry up and get lost from this production!"]
["Zhang Yuqi get lost from this production! Get lost from the entertainment industry! Get lost from here! GET LOST!!!]
["Hahahahaha...great news! I knew it!! How else could someone like her get such a big project!"]
["It's just a small artiste trying to get famous with her pretty face. I don't see the difference from a prostitute. Having her as a part of this production is a disgrace!"]
["I strongly urge to block corrupted artistes. Remove Zhang Yuqi from this drama production! Or else, we are determined to boycott 'Walking to You'."]
["As expected, Beautiful women are bad news!"]
Xian Yu was a recently debuted artist. He had a very cute and handsome appearance, his acting was good too. So, he had become a B-list celebrity within a few months of his debut. He had a good personality and usually chose dramas or films that demaded acting skills from the actor. The only reason his company had chosen this production was to further raise his popularity to an A-lister.
'His fans are really protective of him. As soon as they knew he was going to work with me, a 'prostitute', they attacked me!...haihhh…will I have these kind of fans one day?', Zhang Yuqi thought, as she scrolled down further to see if there were any new developments.
Even when the fans who knew her tried to post her singing clips on the internet, they were immediately drowned by a whole load of negative comments. This familiar way of drowning the good comments could only have been done by a hired water army.
Who exactly was trying to sabotage her?.....There could only be one person! Zhang Youwei!!
Zhang Yuqi was deep in her thoughts and had not noticed the sounds from the bathroom stop, or the door open, revealing a half naked Lu Zitian with a towel wrapped around his lower body.
Seeing the girl sitting in a daze looking into her mobile, Lu Zitian cleared his throat and began to rub his head with another short towel.
Of course he knew what the matter was, but he didn't do anything. He wanted to know her opinion before he did something.
Zhang Yuqi finally heard Lu Zitian and looked at him. Her vision was filled with bare skin. Then, instead of turning her head away, her eyes widened. His hair was wet, water drops were dripping down from then to his chest, his abs and then disappeared into his v-line. It was an extremely alluring and sexy sight.
Zhang Yuqi stared at his body for a whole 10 seconds before looking away, coughing awkwardly. He must have thought her to be a pervert, she was practically ogling at his body as if she was thirsty!
Giving a last look at Zhang Yuqi, Lu Zitian calmly walked into closet as if nothing happened.
She must be going crazy! Lu Zitian would think of her as a weird person now.
