Chapter 129: It Can No Longer Be Suppressed

"President Gu!" A Zhong called out anxiously, his eyes reddening as he stepped forward quickly to support Gu Tingyan.

Someone in the crowd recognized Gu Tingyan, and they all crowded around; many people had heard Gu Tingyan say just now that Qin Shu was his wife, and they had recorded it.

This massive piece of gossip was like a heaven-shaking thunderbolt.

Who is Qin Shu?

She is the female lead in the movie by the most famous director in China, Director Chen; once this movie came out, it was immediately positioned as having two female leads, and Qin Shu is one of them.

Relying on her astonishing acting skills and beauty, she exploded in popularity and went viral instantly; for the past two days, the news has been completely flooded with Qin Shu.

She became an overnight sensation, almost a household name.

And as for Gu Tingyan, his rumored girlfriend is the other female lead in Director Chen's movie, Chu Sheng, who has also been quite popular lately; the discussion surrounding her is intense, and more than anything, everyone is curious about her being Gu Tingyan's girlfriend.

What's more, yesterday, the Chu Family announced their marriage alliance with the Gu Family, which shocked the entire entertainment industry.

Originally, the marriage alliance between Chu Sheng and Gu Tingyan was a high-society union, a perfect match, a golden boy and jade girl.

But now, Gu Tingyan actually said Qin Shu is his wife; this is explosive news—a mistress stepping in, who is who—this is the kind of gossip the common folk love to eat up most.

Especially since these two female leads are both incredibly popular, one because her career has reached a peak, and the other because of her tall, handsome, wealthy, and well-off boyfriend.

"Did I hear that right? He really just said Qin Shu is his wife."

"Oh my god, are they married?"

"Qin Shu is married? I've never heard of that; could she be a mistress?"

"It's not necessarily marriage; young people nowadays love to call each other 'wife' and 'husband' even if they aren't married, without any shame at all."

"A while ago, Chu Sheng even showed off a priceless watch on Weibo."

"And she is President Gu's first love, his 'white moonlight,' so she must be his girlfriend; otherwise, why would he give her such an expensive watch?"

"I was wondering how Qin Shu became Director Chen's female lead; I thought she really earned it through her own hard work."

"I didn't expect that she also relied on a man to secure her resources."

"Director Chen's films are the hardest to get into, and every one of them is a masterpiece; Qin Shu is beautiful, but the entertainment industry is full of beauties, and besides, becoming famous depends on fate, not just on a pretty face."

As if they had sniffed out some kind of truth, everyone in the crowd suddenly realized: "So, Qin Shu is the mistress of Chu Sheng and Gu Tingyan."

"If she is a mistress, to be honest, I don't feel any sympathy even if she's dead."

"Exactly, all mistresses in this world deserve to die!"

"She really deserves it."

"Maybe this is retribution."

"Move, move aside." A Zhong supported Gu Tingyan as he walked toward the car, and upon hearing the crowd discussing and slandering Qin Shu like this, a nameless rage instantly erupted.

He didn't understand why someone as good as his mistress received so little kindness while she was alive, and yet had to suffer such criticism after her death.

He paused, raised his head fiercely, and roared: "Our President Gu has already been married to Qin Shu for five years."

"She is not the mistress you speak of!"

With bloodshot eyes, a ferocious expression, and a menacing look, A Zhong said: "She is already gone, can you all just shut up?"

The moment he roared, the crowd suddenly fell silent.

Seeing the ruthlessness radiating from A Zhong's entire body, they subconsciously made way, allowing A Zhong to take the vomiting, unconscious Gu Tingyan away.

Once they left, the crowd exploded again.

"The mistress is actually Chu Sheng!"

"Oh my god, this woman is truly shameless; how could she have the nerve to accept that 210 million watch?"

"Qin Shu and Gu Tingyan have been married for five years; that is their marital property!"

"Chu Sheng actually secretly posted on Weibo to show off their affection; god, this woman looks so soft and weak, I never expected her to be a mistress."

Immediately, many videos were uploaded to the internet, including the one where Gu Tingyan said Qin Shu was his wife.

And the words A Zhong had said.

In an instant, "Chu Sheng knowingly acts as a mistress" hit the trending searches.

"Gu Tingyan and Qin Shu secretly married for five years" also hit the trending searches.

There were even insiders revealing that the two had a son.

The Chu Family's announcement of the engagement with the Gu Family also hit the trending searches again, and the comment section of the Chu Group's Weibo was soon filled with hundreds of thousands of abusive comments.

Qin Shu's fans and passersby were all extremely angry; during this period, Chu Sheng's actions—secretly showing off affection on Weibo—were all hints, both overt and covert, that Gu Tingyan was her man.

Chu Sheng's Weibo had been completely overrun.

Chu Group.

Chairman's office.

Chu Xuanming sat in his office watching those two videos, his face instantly turning livid.

"Who uploaded these! Take them all down for me!"

The man was burning with rage: "What is the public relations department doing? It's been so long, and the trending search is still hanging up there!"

He hadn't quite believed the news of Qin Shu's death at first; after all, that daughter of his had been like a cockroach that couldn't be killed since she was a child, with a tenacious vitality.

Back then, when she wanted to save her grandmother, she begged the Chu Family, kneeling in the heavy rain for an entire night; Chu Xuanming's heart softened, and he relented, promising to take Qin Laotaitai to the hospital to have a look.

When he returned, he didn't find Qin Shu and assumed the girl had run away, so he didn't bother with it.

After all, the girl had been quite obedient and cute when she was little, but she became wild and untamable as she grew up; perhaps she just didn't want to get rid of her grandmother and ran off, leaving people behind.

Later, a servant accidentally opened the small dark room on the top floor and found a living person inside, letting out a terrified scream.

Chu Xuanming went upstairs and only then discovered that the person lying on the floor, nearly dead, was Qin Shu.

Jiang Chenxue had locked her in that small dark room for four whole days without giving her a single bite of food or a drop of water, yet Qin Shu hadn't died.

How could she possibly die so easily?

Chu Xuanming didn't believe it at all.

Perhaps it was just those paparazzi writing nonsense for the sake of traffic; with internet technology so advanced now, anyone can just Photoshop images at will—with so much truth and falsehood mixed together, how much of it is actually real?

This wretched girl has a very hard life; even the fortune teller said she brings bad luck to him.

Chu Xuanming did not believe Qin Shu was dead; he only hated that she had brought so much trouble upon him again!

This wretched girl really does bring bad luck to him!

He roared, ordering the public relations department to remove the trending topic: "No matter how much money it costs, get that trending topic taken down immediately!"

Chu Sheng is the daughter he painstakingly cultivated, and she is about to marry into the Gu Family; she absolutely cannot be saddled with the reputation of being a mistress.

If anyone were to be called a mistress, it would be Qin Shu; Chu Sheng knew Gu Tingyan long before Qin Shu did.

Furthermore, Chu Chen was conceived before Qin Shu and Gu Tingyan were married.

If one were to say who the real mistress is, it should be Qin Shu.

She snatched away the life that originally belonged to Chu Sheng, snatched away Sheng's lover, and monopolized Gu Tingyan for five whole years.

The general manager of the public relations department walked in with a bitter face: "Chairman, this trending topic simply cannot be suppressed anymore."
