This is the entertainment industry! No tantrums or shouting allowed!

Gu Yan frowned: "What does this have to do with me? I don't even know her!"

"Part of Song Qingzhi's 'suicide note' has been made public, and it mentions your name..."

Song Daishan was in a real bind. They had no way of knowing what the complete suicide note was, and they didn't even know which direction to take in terms of public relations.

Gu Yan: "..."

He experienced firsthand what it means to be sitting in your room when trouble comes knocking from the sky.

Who did he offend?

"You and her... there really isn't anything between you, is there?" Song Daishan asked tentatively. "For example, you two didn't have a child or anything..."

Gu Yan instantly exploded: "Damn it! I'm a very traditional man! Except for when my sister was little, I never even held a girl's hand!"

"Yanzi, just confess!" Song Daishan was extremely anxious. "What are you pretending for, Uncle? How can I clear your name if you don't confess to me?"

Who is the kind person who has managed an artist like Gu Yan who has experienced such dramatic ups and downs?

He debuted as a top star, but his career collapsed at its peak. He regained his top status through variety shows, but is about to collapse again...

Gu Yan was truly anxious: "I have absolutely no relation to her! We don't know each other at all, and we don't have each other's contact information! How would I know why she mentioned me in her suicide note?"

"Do you dare swear on your sister?" Song Daishan asked in a deep voice.

"Don't you fucking drag my sister into this!" Gu Yan said irritably. "My sister isn't a tool for making oaths!"

"...Alright, for Yao's sake, I'll trust you this once."

Gu Yan: ? ? ?

Are you my manager or my sister's manager?

After hanging up the phone, Song Daishan hurriedly went to find online trolls to control the comments.

It's nothing more than spouting nonsense like "stay away from my brother's private life and pay more attention to my brother's works."

Song Daishan didn't have much hope; he only hoped to retain Gu Yan's existing fans.

As long as the fans are there, the empire will remain, and perhaps one day there will still be hope for a comeback.

Unexpectedly, a large number of real netizens joined in—

[The inkstone is silly, not bad. Don't go too far with your extortionate scams, okay?]

[Yanzi got into trouble? Then arrest Baizi, he's easy to bully. /heart emoji]

[With Yanzi's intelligence, you're telling me he instigated a female celebrity to commit suicide? Have you all eaten too many mushrooms?]

[Come on, if you have Thor's hammer, just release it. Only showing the name "Gu Yan" while everything else is censored makes it hard not to suspect something's fishy.]

...

Song Daishan's hands were trembling as he read the comments.

Each of those IDs is related to Yao Mei.

Those who usually dislike Gu Yan the most are Yao Mei's fans.

But now, those who are standing up for Gu Yan are Yao Mei's fans.

Gu Yan's own fans, Wen Yao's fans, and fans of the show "All People" vividly illustrate what it means to have strength in numbers.

Public opinion shifted dramatically, with countless people questioning the full content of the suicide note.

Song Daishan wiped his slightly damp eyes:

"Gu Yan, you brat... you've really made your brother rich because of your sister..."

...

The online discussion was in an uproar, and Wen Yao and Ms. Wen both received related notifications.

Suite, living room.

"Mom, I told you, it's nothing...you don't need to worry..."

Ms. Wen sighed.

"Ayan, do you hate your mother?"

Gu Yan's nonchalant expression froze; he looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Mom, what are you saying...?"

"Then why did you refuse Mom's help when something similar happened last time?"

"...I just didn't want to cause you any trouble."

Gu Yan turned her face away, her expression stubborn.

After Ms. Wen and Mr. Gu separated, Wen Yao stayed with her mother, while he stayed with Mr. Gu.

Moreover, the relationship between a mother and son is not as close as that between a mother and daughter.

Wen Yao would share her eating, drinking, and having fun, as well as her happy or troubled teenage thoughts with her mother.

Gu Yan would only occasionally make a phone call to let his mother know he was safe.

When Ms. Wen asked about his recent situation, he would only say that everything was fine.

When his house collapsed, Ms. Wen, though far away overseas, called immediately to offer her help.

Gu Yan refused without even thinking.

He insisted that he could handle the matter.

Ms. Wen knew he was proud, so she had no choice but to give up, but would occasionally secretly try to help him secure some resources.

For example, this live-streamed variety show.

The earliest investor behind it was Ms. Wen.

"Your issues are not a problem for Mom."

Ms. Wen patted his shoulder, "I know you've grown up and you're capable of handling many things, but occasionally... please allow Mom to protect you, okay?"

Gu Yan remained silent for a long time, but the constant movement of his Adam's apple reflected the fluctuations in his emotions.

"...Mom, don't treat me like a child," Gu Yan said in a hoarse voice.

Once he opened his mouth, it was as if the floodgates of his emotions had been opened, and he was on the verge of losing control.

Wen Yao: "Brother, you need to pee your eyes."

Her words made Gu Yan swallow back the tears that were about to spill from his eyes.

"Thank you for reminding me."

"You're welcome." Wen Yao smiled and handed Gu Yan a large pack of tissues. "Take your time peeing. If you need more, I'll go to the bathroom and get you some toilet paper."

Gu Yan: "..."

These words sound so familiar...

Is he really that infuriating normally?

Gu Yan took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down:

"I don't know that girl."

"But we've met once..."

...

Gu Yan revealed all the secrets hidden deep in his heart.

Like Sheng Pianran, Song Qingzhi was one of the girls he rescued at the drinking party that night.

Wen Yao and Ms. Wen stared intently at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan was embarrassed: "Alright, alright, I know I'm an idiot, you can scold me however you want!"

He also knew that he was young and impetuous back then, full of youthful arrogance and hot-bloodedness, and that he had kindly saved someone, but the other party did not appreciate it.

He deserves it.

But his sister's and mother's words left him stunned.

"Brother, you can be that handsome?"

"Ayan, you did a great job. Mom is so proud of you."

Gu Yan was in a daze.

what?

Ah? ?

There were no harsh words, no humiliation, only understanding and tolerance.

"Well, it's not as good as you all say..." Gu Yan cleared his throat, unable to resist putting on an act, "I can't help it, I've always been a kind-hearted person since I was little, you can tell from wiping my sister's bottom in kindergarten..."

Wen Yao was so angry that she threw a cushion at him.

"Don't mention it again!"

Gu Yan caught the cushion, lay down on the sofa, and suddenly relaxed after revealing the secret.

He drew a circle around himself and imprisoned himself.

"Some things don't need to be mentioned, but some things... should be mentioned once they've been done."

Gu Yan suddenly made up his mind and dialed Song Daishan's number.

"What's my username and password again? Oh, it's nothing serious, I just wanted to..."

"Log in and start a live stream."
