Chapter 697: Chapter 699: Hot Search (2)
Xue Feifei quickly lowered her head to take a look. After trending last night, her weibo has been bombarded, and her fanbase has increased by more than a million. Yet, she hasn’t even responded yet.
She looked at the message, made some minor modifications based on her assistant’s recommendation, and then clicked send.
She knew the best way to clarify things was to be straightforward and serious. “I am not in a romantic relationship with Teacher Huang. We have no ambiguous entanglement. Anyone involved in spreading rumors will be held legally accountable.”
She was certain she had nothing to fear. After all, she barely knew Huang Mi. Not only did they not follow each other on Weibo, but since she had joined the cast on short notice, the production team had not even officially announced her involvement in the project. Thus, she had no connection that people could look into. She was not afraid of people digging into her life.
However, ever since Du Sui revealed last night that she was the ‘mistress,’ Xue Feifei’s Weibo account was hit with an astounding amount of traffic. Every single post she had ever made was being scrutinized. Her other social media accounts, including Instagram, were also being closely examined. And yet, no incriminating information could be found.
This was the first time in Xue Feifei’s life that she trended in less than ten minutes after posting a clarification post. Perhaps Huang Mi’s team had also bought some trending posts. Since releasing a statement in the early hours of the morning, they had been awaiting Xue Feifei’s clarification. They had waited till noon, nearly straining their patience to its limit.
Would they be furious if they knew that the reason for the delay was because she had slept until noon?
The fun part was that because Xue Feifei had been relatively obscure, there was little information about her. Huang Mi’s trolls, hoping to dig up some dirty secret about him, decided to watch Xue Feifei’s web dramas. As a result, the viewership on these dramas suddenly spiked on video streaming sites.
And to their surprise, they found the shows quite enjoyable after actually watching them.
All in all, she had filmed eight web dramas since her debut. A few of them were quite popular at the time, showcasing the improvement in her acting skills. She was not a plastic beauty, but natural, and had a good figure.
Internet users efficiently dug up her entire history at N University, Yan City No.1 Middle School and elsewhere. She was admitted to N University’s School of Architecture, which made her an absolute top student. And because of her academic achievements, her cultural literacy was relatively high. She didn’t make any common novice mistakes. There was no news of her being arrogant or making dramatic scenes. Her acting was good, and she was beautiful.
Some internet users with a keen eye for aesthetics had switched their loyalty to her after seeing Huang Mi’s clarification. Xue Feifei, who had never had a fan support club in her five-year career, now had fans wanting to set one up for her.
Anyway, the winds of public opinion did change slightly after she made the post. Most people were still bystanders, enjoying the spectacle. Without solid evidence, no one was taking sides.
However, many people tried to ride the wave of her popularity. Xiang Yirou was one of them. After the incident came to light, a swarm of journalists arrived to interview the cast. As it happened, many journalists were already stationed in this film city. Others, given the controversy involving Huang Mi and Yu Sixing, were hesitant to jump into the fray. Yirou, on the other hand, who had already established her career, wasn’t afraid of backlash. She had a morning interview lined up anyway.
