Chapter 393: The Fastest Downfall
"Pfft, that crashed so quickly!"
The next day, as soon as Chi Youyou arrived at school, she heard Zhao Qingran gossiping to Lin Xing.
"Youbao! Check this out!"
Seeing her walk over, both of them stood up.
There was a video on the phone. No one expected a little kid to be playing with a phone at that time, coincidentally recording.
"Do you think just because you came back, Brother Ming will come back to you? Keep dreaming!"
"Brother Ming doesn’t love you at all; he’s just pretending because of your title as the eldest lady of the Yun Family!"
...
Ran Yu’s voice kept echoing in the video, but Yun Zhi didn’t say a word.
Then Ran Yu trying to reach out to do something, but Yun Zhi stepped aside, causing Ran Yu to tumble down the stairs.
The moment she fell looked quite genuine.
"When the video first surfaced, Ran Yu’s fans claimed it was fake. Later, someone revealed ironclad evidence that Ran Yu stole her cousin’s fiancé and drugged her cousin! All those rumors about the cousin being promiscuous were fake! It’s a big scandal now!"
Zhao Qingran truly lives up to her reputation as the gossip queen; she found out everything in no time!
"Youbao, do you know Ran Yu’s cousin?"
"Yes."
"No wonder. I heard Ran Yu’s family is quite wealthy too. It seems there’s a lot of drama among the rich!"
Chi Youyou sighed, thinking about the two million, "Who says it isn’t—teacher’s coming, teacher’s coming!"
Recently, due to the autumn harvest, the school offered mostly practical classes, and the class complained continuously for several days.
Finally, they had theory classes indoors for the past couple of days.
Chi Youyou listened to the class, but her mind wandered. The online news about her was suddenly overshadowed by Ran Yu’s incident.
Looks like her luck is quite good!
Although there were no rumors online now, someone still noticed.
Cheng Shujin, bored after finishing a magazine cover shoot, was flicking through the news when he saw the article questioning if Youzi was Chi Youyou.
He immediately became alert.
"Young Master, what’s wrong?"
The assistant came over, handing him a glass of hot water, seeing him sitting there with a serious expression.
"Where’s Uncle Wan?"
"Uncle Wan said he had other matters to attend to and hasn’t returned yet. Should I call him?"
"No need, it’s nothing, just asked casually!"
Cheng Shujin waved off the assistant and took the water cup, taking a sip.
Could Youzi be Chi Youyou?
No way!
The more he read, the more ridiculous he found it, eventually tossing his phone aside.
It was just that their names were similar.
He had watched Youzi’s live streams and saw how quickly she was making money; she wasn’t lacking cash.
The Chi Family father and daughter were trying to cling to the Cheng Family for money, hoping for a share; they were obsessed with it!
These two were absolutely not the same person!
The Yun Family scandal hit the trending list, coupled with Ran Yu being a public figure and the recent buzz around the "Farm" reality show, it skyrocketed to the top three of the hot search list.
[My whole worldview is being destroyed, how can there be such family members?]
[Exactly, it’s one thing to steal your cousin’s fiancé, but to fall and accuse the cousin of pushing you!]
[I just want to know if the drugging part is true!]
[No! Our Ran Yu never said the cousin pushed her! It’s all speculation by others!]
[Fans still trying to defend her, I’m impressed!]
...
"The Yun Family is so petty, and this Ran Yu is useless!"
Fang Yifei looked disdainful after seeing the news.
She was wondering what use this Ran Yu could be, and this is it?
"You’re right, but perhaps she’ll still be of some use; she seems to be trying to make a final struggle."
Nan Zhi stretched, "The weather’s been amazing lately, just wondering if there’ll be a show to watch on Saturday!"
*
Soon it was time for the "Farm" reality show again.
The show had been highly talked about recently, with constant debates.
Chi Youyou sat in Amber’s car and suddenly thought, "Will Ran Yu still participate in the show?"
"The production team hasn’t announced anything; she was discharged a few days ago and even issued an apology statement."
"I saw, oh wow, it’s the first time I’ve seen such a shameless woman, glorifying stealing a man, and that man didn’t speak up once, clearly not a good person!"
Chi Youyou huffed, "Good thing Sister Yun Zhi isn’t with him; otherwise, there might be more trouble later!"
"Right, wasn’t someone investigating your identity for an expose, but it got suppressed. I traced their IP, pretty interesting, guess who it is?"
"You want me to guess?"
Chi Youyou looked at Amber, showing a puzzled expression, "Judging by your look... could the two groups be the same people?"
"Bingo!"
"Really!"
Amber tapped her phone, "I’ve sent it to you, see for yourself."
Right then, her phone vibrated.
Chi Youyou opened the file; besides the IP address, there were several pictures, "This person looks familiar."
"Uh-huh."
The car smoothly moved along the tree-lined road, with Amber and Chi Youyou sitting in the back.
She zoomed in on the picture and stared at it, her eyes suddenly lighting up, "Is this Yaya’s assistant?"
"Correct, they orchestrated both incidents, but it’s unclear why they suddenly withdrew and suppressed the news. However, someone later exposed that you’re a technical college student; guess who released that news?"
"Don’t tell me it was Ran Yu!"
"Youbao, you’re so smart!"
Chi Youyou: ...
Why does it not feel like a compliment? Meow~
She puffed her cheeks and looked at the information on her phone, "I roughly understand why Yaya did this, but I’ve never had any interaction with Ran Yu. Why would she slander me?"
"Probably just out of pure spite. The previous episodes had you getting along well with two heartthrobs and drew a lot of attention. Some people are just like that; they can’t stand others having what they don’t. Given what she did to her cousin, is there anything she wouldn’t do?"
Amber’s face turned somber. After years in business, she had encountered all kinds of people, most of whom put their interests above all else.
"By the way, you said you understand why Yaya did this?"
Chi Youyou put down her phone at the question, nodding.
"Yes, if I’m not mistaken, Fang Yifei must have found out that Youzi is Chi Youyou!"
