Chapter 30 Ex-Girlfriend Scandal

"If it's not Yutong, then it could be someone else?"

Did Xuanzi have a boyfriend in high school?

"Maybe it was my first love in junior high."

"fart!"

Seeing everyone's speculations, Xue Cheng couldn't hold back any longer and sent out a string of messages:
"Xuanzi and I have been friends since we were kids, practically inseparable. Do you think I don't know about his ex-girlfriends? Yes, some people did like him in high school, and even sent him love letters, but he politely rejected them all. You can't assume someone is his ex-girlfriend just because they received love letters, right? That doesn't make sense!"

At this point, [Chrysanthemum Sweet] also dug up the photos of the person involved and posted screenshots in the group.

Upon seeing the photos, Xue Cheng couldn't hold back any longer:

"What kind of crap is this? With that face of a social media influencer that looks like it could be painted on a wall, how could Xuanzi possibly be interested in her?"

After comparing Chen Yutong's appearance with that of her "ex-girlfriend," the students unanimously agreed:
“Chengzi is right.”

"Qi Xuan's judgment is far from being that bad."

"No matter what, Xuanzi's taste is normal. Even if he has an ex-girlfriend, it shouldn't be this shabby."

Chen Yutong was speechless when she saw these messages.

But why do I feel a strange sense of secret joy?

It feels like we won.

She quickly dismissed this strange thought.

In the group chat, Song Manman, who goes by the name "Spring Sleep Doesn't Know," directly posted the official media interview report.

Leaving aside the pointless small talk and compliments, the main point is that Qi Xuan's ex-girlfriend, Li Yao, met him through a blind date a little over two weeks ago, became his official girlfriend, and they've already entered the stage of discussing marriage.

As they spent more time together, she discovered that their personalities and lifestyles were quite different, so they broke up amicably.

As for why she came forward to publicly expose her ex-girlfriend's identity, it was mainly because she felt that she had suffered a lot of grievances in her relationship with Qi Xuan. Now that everyone is paying attention to Qi Xuan, she hopes to let the public judge the situation.

Regarding the specific grievances, she mentioned that Qi Xuan was an extremely stingy person. When they went on a blind date, he insisted on splitting the bill, but she generously paid the bill herself. However, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

In their subsequent interactions, Qi Xuan continued to exhibit many bad habits, which still make her feel very uncomfortable when she thinks about them. She has decided to tell everyone about them one by one after she has calmed down.

The entire report contained a lot of sensationalism, and the accompanying picture showed Li Yao with a sad and tearful expression, looking very wronged.

"The blind date is real, the splitting the bill is real, but everything else is fake."

Xue Cheng immediately explained in the group chat:

"After the game studio disbanded, Xuanzi was forced to go on blind dates by Aunt Zhao while he was at home, but he had no plans to get married for the time being, so he used the excuse of splitting the bill to get rid of the blind date girls.

I must say, this tactic works wonders. Nine out of ten people on the other end were driven away by him, all hurling insults at him. This woman was probably one of them, because not a single one offered to pay the bill!

"But this kind of statement, which mixes truth and falsehood, is the easiest to believe."

Song Manman hit the nail on the head.

[Chrysanthemum with a slightly sweet taste] posted a link:

“I found this woman’s account. She just signed with an MCN a couple of days ago. The account operation is very obvious. Now she’s anchoring herself as Xuanzi’s ex-girlfriend. I’m afraid her next step is to ride this wave of popularity and open a product store.”

"Damn it, that son of a bitch!"

Xue Cheng couldn't help but swear on the spot:

"We can't let her continue to slander us, I have to expose her! Do any of you brothers have media resources? Help me find some, we can't just let them smear us just because Xuanzi is stuck in power!" In an instant, all the old classmates in the group offered suggestions and provided support.

At the same time, because it involved Qi Xuan, who was also the ex-girlfriend of the person involved, Li Yao's interview report immediately went viral and was reprinted by countless media outlets, causing its popularity to explode on the spot.

Countless netizens flocked to Li Yao's account to leave comments in support:

"Girls, come look! This is the real deal! A blind date where everything is split equally?"

"Support Sister Li Yao! Speak out your grievances! Let these sycophants have nowhere to hide!"

"I have to say, Sister Li Yao is too kind. This kind of lecherous man should be exposed so that everyone can avoid him!"

"I'm unfollowing you! I was so blind before!"

……

Besides those who blindly followed suit and vented their emotions, there were also quite a few netizens who raised questions:
"The whole long essay, not a single piece of solid evidence? Where are the chat logs? Where are the transfer records? Where are the receipts? Is this what you call a grievance that you just spout off without proof?"

"Haha, she just signed with an MCN a couple of days ago and she's already her ex-girlfriend today? Could this hype be any more blatant? Is her next step to start live-streaming e-commerce?"

"What's wrong with splitting the bill on a blind date? Nobody's money grows on trees before anything happens! I support Qi Xuan, this is how normal people act, and it's much better than some gold diggers!"

"You tout yourself as an independent woman while complaining about splitting the bill on blind dates? Is your independence just lip service? You've really mastered the double standard."

“Qi Xuan and I were college classmates, and he is definitely not that kind of person. Between an internet celebrity who has signed with an MCN and a down-to-earth person, I choose to believe the latter.”

"Let's wait for a plot twist! Let the dust settle a bit more! I don't believe a word of the current leaks."

"We support Sister Li Yao in providing concrete evidence! If there's solid proof that Qi Xuan is stingy, such as records of him borrowing money from you and not paying it back, or making you bear shared expenses, we'll help you condemn him! It's hard to convince people without evidence."

……

Both sides stuck to their own versions of events and quickly started arguing in the comments section. At first, they tried to reason and argue, but later they started hurling insults at each other.

Ji Yuwei sat cross-legged on the bed, angrily typing comments to refute those demons and monsters.

But she was really bad at arguing with people. After arguing for a while, she ended up getting red-faced and wanted to smash the computer.

Fortunately, she wasn't the only one fighting in the comments section.

Soon, a large number of netizens came to her defense, and she quickly liked each and every one of them.

One of them, in particular, was extremely sharp-tongued and always hit the nail on the head. He was practically her online mouthpiece, and she gave him more than a dozen likes.

But when she clicked into the other person's account and looked at the photos and videos she posted, the more she looked, the more familiar they seemed. Finally, she suddenly realized that it was actually Chen Yutong's account.

Realizing this, Ji Yuwei immediately felt guilty and canceled the like, then reset her personal account privacy settings to prevent strangers from accessing it.

Only after doing all this did she feel a little relieved.

Although it's normal for her to speak up for Qi Xuan—even a stranger would say a few words, let alone a college classmate—she always felt very awkward around Chen Yutong and preferred to keep it a secret from her.

After glancing at the comments section with a sense of unease, Ji Yuwei couldn't help but frown slightly.

The comments section was rife with arguments, but as more and more bystanders joined in, the trend gradually became clear: the majority were now on Qi Xuan's side.

The problem is that Li Yao's account also saw a surge in followers, and she perfectly capitalized on this wave of popularity.

"That's not okay."

Ji Yuwei muttered to herself as she reached for her phone.
