Chapter 34: The Storm of Public Opinion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The anti-fans naturally adopted the most vicious attitudes in their speculation about Yu Jue and Yu Yao.
In the review of the events that they had organized, Yu Yao was just like Gao Cheng had said. Over the course of their relationship, she had taken nude photos and made sex tapes. Later, she had even abandoned her ex-boyfriend because she despised him for being poor and set her sights on the rich. When her ex had asked her for an explanation, she had made her older brother, Yu Jue, humiliate him and beat him up.
Yu Jue, on the other hand, was a violent person who had attacked the victim indiscriminately for the sake of a sister who didn’t even care about her pride and self-respect! In the end, these two siblings had even used the law to send Yu Yao’s ex-boyfriend to jail in a very vicious manner!
The anti-fans claimed that Yu Jue and his sister had used their family’s wealth and power to manipulate the law and frame an innocent college student with a bright future!
Everyone liked to see the conflict between wealthy capitalists and ordinary people. People also preferred to believe that capitalists would do whatever they wanted with their wealth and status. Faced with such an incident, netizens expressed their sympathy for the ex-boyfriend and anger towards the Yus!
In just a few hours, comments denouncing Yu Jue and his sister had spread like wildfire on social media.
This was also the reason why the Yu family held another family meeting that night. Yu Jue was condemned by everyone except Yu Yao.
Yu Lang said, “The company’s public relations and surveillance department is working overtime to analyze the source of those comments online. Initially, it was Yu Jue’s anti-fans who spread them. Later on, it was spread by other artistes who are competing with Yu Jue. In the end, it seems like it’s being spontaneously spread by netizens. However, the public relations surveillance department feels that there’s a hidden manipulator involved.”
Yu Heng sneered and looked at Yu Jue coldly. “Look at the mess you’ve caused!”
Yu Jue pursed his lips and lowered his head, not daring to retort.
Although the comments on the Internet were all caused by his anti-fans, he knew that Yu Lang and Yu Heng wouldn’t blame him because of this. They were just angry that Yu Yao had called him brother and even hugged him at the police station!
Yu Jue had already seen through Yu Lang and Yu Heng’s pretext, but he didn’t dare to be too bold at this moment. He frowned and said, “I know this is all my fault. I think it’s better to clarify things online right now and tell them to stop paying attention to Yaoyao. If anything happens, just come to me.”
Yu Lang took a deep breath. “If you dare to speak online, I’ll make sure that you won’t be able to show yourself again for the rest of your life.You’ll be helping us by doing nothing.”
Yu Heng added, “When you need to express your opinion, we’ll contact your manager and use your studio’s account to speak to the public. You mustn’t act on your own, understand?”
Yu Jue nodded gloomily. “I understand.”
Yu Yao picked up her phone and scrolled through sites for a long time before understanding the situation. She was very calm. Despite the fact that she was involved, she wasn’t as nervous as her three older brothers.
Yu Lang said to Yu Yao, “Yaoyao, you don’t have to go to university tomorrow. You can attend classes after we settle this.”
However, Yu Yao shook her head. “I don’t think there’s a need to hide at home. I’m not like Yu Jue, who’s a celebrity. No matter how curious others are, they won’t do anything to me. Besides, I didn’t do anything wrong. Wouldn’t I appear guilty hiding like this?”
Yu Lang thought for a moment before nodding. “Yaoyao speaks sense. I don’t object to you going to university, but you have to be careful there. Don’t get too close to others.”
Yu Jue also said nervously, “Big Brother is right. Yaoyao, you don’t know how crazy my anti-fans are. I’m afraid they’ll find your university and hurt you.”
However, Yu Yao was very optimistic. “You guys don’t have to be too worried. I’ve already contacted the university forum administrators and made them delete all the posts related to me. My photo hasn’t been leaked onto social media either. It won’t be easy for the anti-fans to find me.”
Yu Heng nodded and said, “From tomorrow onwards, Yaoyao, you’ll be going to campus with me. I’ll suggest to the university that they increase security. We’ll check student IDs when people are entering and exiting the university. As long as you don’t leave campus, we’ll be able to ensure your safety.”
Yu Yao let out a sorrowful sigh. She still hadn’t finished exploring the street food outside the university. Now, she couldn’t even leave the premises as she pleased.
However, she also understood that now was not the time to be willful. She nodded weakly and agreed. “Alright then. Oh right, it’s not suitable to go on the variety show in this situation, right?”
Yu Yao felt that it was a pity after Yu Jue had agreed to giving her an eight-digit reward.
Yu Lang didn’t give a direct answer. Instead, he asked, “Do you really want to go on the variety show?”
“Sure.” Yu Yao scratched her head. “Yu Jue said he’d give me all the remuneration. I heard it’ll be eight digits!”
“Is that so? If that’s the case, do it.” In front of Yu Yao, Yu Lang was like a good older brother that provided a strong sense of security and was able to help his younger sister deal with all her troubles.
“The public relations crisis this time won’t last too long. It will calm down in at most three days. The variety show will take advantage of this incident to increase its publicity. You just have to wait for the contract to be signed.”
Yu Yao didn’t know much about public opinion and publicity, so she was relieved after hearing Yu Lang’s words.
