After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Scumbag

After reading these...

The audience was stunned.

Because these words seem more like Gu Heng likes me.

"You all saw it too. If he really hated me, why would he say such ambiguous things?" A cold sarcasm flickered in my dark eyes. "If you were to reject someone, would you also demand that person always love you? Can't you see how hypocritical you are?"

"Do you think these might be fake?"

"I don't think so. She's already called the police, and some of the messages are voice recordings. Although what we see is transcribed text, if she dares to release them, then the voice recordings must be Gu Heng's."

"If that's really the case, doesn't that confirm that Gu Heng is a scumbag?"

"So it's possible that Gu Heng cheated on Zhao Baixue, and both Shen Yan and Zhao Baixue thought that Gu Heng actually liked them, but in reality, he was just a heartbreaker?"

The people in the audience had all sorts of guesses.

I waited calmly and patiently.

Gu Heng will definitely come out to explain this matter.

If he doesn't explain, he'll carry the stigma of being a "scumbag" for the rest of his life.

At least my reputation can be cleared.

If he were to explain, he would only be smearing Zhao Baixue's reputation.

Although they are equally matched.

But that's no longer something I should care about.

"Heh, it's been so long. Gu Heng and Zhao Baixue should have arrived by now, but they're nowhere to be seen. I wonder if they're really feeling guilty?" I said with a casual smile.

I don't know Gu Heng.

But Zhao Baixue was genuinely scared.

After all, it was Zhao Baixue who posted the Weibo first, but she hasn't responded yet.

"But your former high school classmates are all saying on Weibo that you have a terrible character!" the reporter finally snapped.

I looked at her coolly: "Those accounts aren't verified. How can you be sure they're my classmates? Couldn't someone be trying to muddy the waters? Why do you believe whatever they say, even without evidence, but when I present you with the evidence, you still argue and make trouble?"

She paused.

"What else could it be?" Mu Xi walked over angrily: "She has been bribed by Zhao Baixue!"

Everyone was surprised.

"You're talking nonsense!" The reporter's face stiffened.

“I checked your bank account, there’s an extra 100,000 yuan, transferred from Zhao Baixue’s studio account!” Mu Xi pointed at her: “And just now someone recognized you online. They said you’re not a legitimate reporter at all, you’re just a paparazzi, a stalker of Zhao Baixue. They dug up photos of you attending various of Zhao Baixue’s events!”

The reporter blushed.

"So all of you should take a good look at this. How many people are stirring up trouble? Some things are not as they say at all. Their goal is to smear Shen Yan. I am also Shen Yan's high school classmate. Why don't you believe me when I say she is a good person? Or are you just trying to cause trouble, regardless of the truth? If you are covering up, do you even deserve to be reporters?!" Mu Xi asked emphatically, hands on her hips.

"So this woman was brought here by Zhao Baixue? No wonder her question earlier was driven by personal grudges."

"Why would Zhao Baixue do this? Could it be because she's too guilty to show her face, so she's using her sasaeng fans to stir up trouble?"

"I never expected Zhao Baixue to be this kind of person. Can we still believe what she says?"

Those who set up the scene all suspected Zhao Baixue, and even people online were suspicious.

Although Zhao Baixue is a newly crowned Best Actress and has good popularity, her acting skills are actually quite average. She was promoted by Gu Hengqiang.

Therefore, her true fans cannot be compared to casual observers.

Moreover, Zhao Baixue has some competitors who have long wanted to defeat her, so they took the opportunity to kick her while she was down and hired a lot of online trolls.

The internet became incredibly lively in no time.

I know that as the president of Story Group, Gu Heng is not necessarily afraid of this kind of public opinion. For people like them, this kind of thing is at most a piece of gossip.

However, for Zhao Baixue, if she cannot control public opinion and her public image is ruined, she can basically say goodbye to her acting career.

Even if someone tries to promote her, if the audience doesn't buy it, she'll never be able to make a comeback.

And the storm that was meant for her had not yet arrived.

"Everyone knows you're Shen Yan's best friend!" The female reporter persisted. "You can't believe what you say. If she's a good person, why didn't her other high school classmates stand up for her? Don't you find that strange?"

"Because they've all been bribed!" Mu Xi explained.

"What makes you say they've been bribed?" The female reporter glared at me. "Shen Yan, you accuse us of believing those people's one-sided stories, saying they have no evidence, but do you have any?"

"Evidence? Of course there is!" Mu Xi said smugly. "I didn't say anything just now because I wanted to see your reaction. Didn't you want witnesses? They're right at the door!"

After I finished speaking, several familiar faces appeared in front of me.

"Teacher Tian?" I asked in surprise.

He was Huo Yubai's homeroom teacher.

He looked much older after five years.

However, he seems to be in good spirits.

Of the other three people, I remember two.

They used to have a very good relationship with Huo Yubai.

The other girl was in our class; I remember her name was Wu Minhui.

“I can testify that Zhao Baixue created a new group yesterday morning. She asked us classmates to testify on her behalf on Weibo, saying that Shen Yan is a bad person. She said that if we help her, she will give everyone a little something, but if we don’t agree, she will threaten us and make us lose our jobs.” Wu Min explained, “I have screenshots of the chat in the group, which I can show everyone!”

Xia Zhe immediately went over, connected her phone to the computer, and then displayed the chat content on her phone.

"Let me say a few words." Teacher Tian cleared her throat: "I am not Shen Yan's homeroom teacher, but I have taught her. This child's character is impeccable. She is well-behaved, sensible, and kind."

"You're not her homeroom teacher, what are you talking about?" the female reporter said angrily. "Why isn't her homeroom teacher here?"

Teacher Tian rolled her eyes at her: "If you really investigated, you would know that her homeroom teacher was demoted because of some things. She was biased towards Gu Heng and deliberately insulted Shen Yan in front of the students. After the truth was found out, she still did not apologize to Shen Yan, so she was given a major demerit. You can log on to our school's website to find out about this."

With Teacher Tian's testimony, most people indeed believed me.

"You're a teacher, how much can you really know? What kind of person is she among the students? How do you know?" the female reporter said sharply.

She was really eager to convict me.

I really don't know how much Zhao Baixue gave her to make her take such a desperate gamble.
