Chapter 162

"Damn!"

Qin Wei was dumbfounded. This trashy marketing account was actually making things up, and even included photos with their post. If it wasn't about her, she might have even believed it!

The post had only been up for five minutes but the comments section had already blown up. It quickly became impossible to load more comments as Weibo crashed.

Qin Wei could feel her shoulders starting to hurt again. Were they going to give birth or something??

She finally managed to load the comments, only to see that there were already over 100,000—

【I'm still shipping Qin Wei x Xiao! Qin Wei are you really pregnant now?!!!】

【F**k, I don't believe it! Qin Wei come out and explain clearly!】

【I'm so heartbroken, my hands are shaking from anger】

【I knew there was something wrong with this woman, why were you all still shipping CPs, isn't all that industrial sugar nauseating?】

【No longer a fan, but congratulations. I hope Miss Qin will be more responsible towards the child, get married and retire from the industry to teach your child】

【The above no longer a fan? Before you quit, figure out what actually happened? Did Qin Wei admit it herself? Quitting as a fan? Ridiculous. We respect every decision Qin Wei makes, Wei Feng will never quit as fans】

【Right! Wei Feng will never quit as fans!】

【We've accompanied her all this way, if we still don't believe her, what's the point of being her fan? I advise these marketing accounts to stop spreading rumors!】

【After going through so much with her, seeing how difficult her journey has been, even if she gets pregnant and has a child, we fans will never quit! 】

【+1! Even if Youyou one day wants to have a child, we'll have the child! We'll raise it!】

【Where are your brains? You just believe whatever anyone says? Can't bear to use your brains?】

【...I give up, can you guys look at the photo first before arguing...Qin Jie just walked out of a Tui Na therapy appointment...】

【...】 【Qin Wei_Vivian: Can I curse now? If not then I have nothing else to say. [View photo] [View photo] [View photo]】

Finally, after Weibo had completely recovered, Qin Wei posted a response, attaching photos of her registration and payment receipt from the Tui Na therapy appointment at a TCM hospital downtown, as well as a printout of her medical diagnosis.

It showed the appointment date and time, the treating physician's name, along with Qin Wei's basic information.

Everything was to prove to everyone that during the timeframe when the paparazzi took those photos, Qin Wei was at her Tui Na therapy appointment.

Comments— 【Eat sh*t you haters and antis】

【Those claiming to quit as fans can f**k right off, believing everything you hear, what kind of fans are you that we don't need】

【My sister is so pitiful, just to prove her innocence she has to expose her medical records, that should have been private...】

【If she didn't, there would have been more trouble and speculation dragging on...】

【Innocent my a*s! Who's that man? Wasn't she being ambiguous with men before, going into hotels and stuff, did you all forget?】

【Did you see her go in? Did she tell you herself?】

After a while, those trashy marketing accounts deleted that post, but still shamelessly posted another one ——

【Entertainment insider: Revealing Qin Wei's secret boyfriend outside the industry. Based on the photos taken by the media, the man was driving a Maserati SUV. According to insider sources, the car belongs to the Xu Corporation. Although there were only a few pictures, after careful comparison by this editor, the man has been confirmed to be none other than Xu heir apparent. 】

Comments——

【Congrats to Qin Wei on catching herself a rich second gen! From now on you can be a young madam of a prestigious household!】

【How thrilling! Young Master Xu escorting his lady all along, even if she's not pregnant yet their happy event is just around the corner I'd say! Let's see you try to flip this around! 】

【You guys know they were university schoolmates right】

【Then it's confirmed】

...

Yet another so-called "conclusive evidence", yet more verbal abuse from melon-eating netizens.

At this point even Qin Wei was rendered speechless. She simply started eating melon as well.

【Anxing Entertainment: Not only does Chairman Xu "escort the flowers", he "escorts the grass" as well. Whether male or female, the artists under his company have all personally received his "escorts" home before. Even if it's late into the night, Chairman Xu would still send them home. Chairman Xu, does this editor stand a chance to have a "joyous occasion" with you as well? (crying laughter) (editor is a flower boy)】

Qin Wei's phone lit up with a message from Li Yao ——

【Li Yao: I support my ancestor scolding people on mic!!】

【Qin: Then I won't hold back!】

...

【Qin Wei_Vivian: The internet is not above the law. I won't let a single rumormonger off! Everyone has the right to express their views openly, but basic manners still apply. Think clearly before you spray, think about whether your right has hurt others, after all you holding that keyboard are still someone who received compulsory education!】

Comments——

【The internet is not above the law, Wei Feng supports Qin Wei defending her rights!】

【Getting rumored to be pregnant has become a rite of passage for female celebrities, who hasn't had headaches over it? Visiting the hospital means confirmed pregnant? They have to reveal private medical info just to prove it?】

【Citizens have rights to keep medical records confidential. My sister has no obligation to show you guys any of this stuff. But if she doesn't clarify, there would just be more nuisance. Using harm to her own rights to uphold her rights — how absurd is this world】

【Youyou rose from the ashes, endured so much. Us mothers saw it all happen before our eyes. *hugs* Youyou, don't be scared】

【Wei Feng accompanied you all the way, and will continue to】 ...

Things died down, public opinion was reversed. Those trashy marketing accounts wanting to gain traffic and eyeballs were instead banned and muted by the platforms. The melon-eating netizens lost interest and dispersed. The antis were still trying to find angles to attack but no one paid them any more attention. The fans all left satisfied as well.

The whole spectacle lasted no more than 2 hours.

The person at the center of it felt the whole thing was surreal, like a dream.

In the evening, Qiao Sixiao called, ostensibly to express concern —

"I just got done with work and saw your shocking news. Impressive Qin Wei, when are you giving birth?"

"Dad's got enough with just you for a son."

Qin Wei retorted with an eye roll. She casually grabbed the receipts on her desk,

"Oh right, I printed out the payment receipts. The Tui Na therapy cost me $990. Just transfer me an even $1000!"

Qiao Sixiao: "?"

"My shoulders were hurting because you were pressing on them."

After hanging up, Qin Wei saw the transfer from Qiao Sixiao and broke into a satisfied smile.

Teacher Qiao, money idiot. He absentmindedly added an extra zero.

...

After two days of rest she still had to go back to the show. Out of the original 30 artists remaining, Liu Xin voluntarily dropped out under immense pressure from the show producers, due to the controversy of her plagiarizing Gu Minghua's music.

This freed up a spot, so the show producers decided on the spot to hold an exhibition match to compete for Liu Xin's vacant spot.

The day Qin Wei returned happened to be the same day the exhibition match ended.

"Senior sister!"

Upon seeing Qin Wei come in, Youyou immediately went over to hug her,

"You finally came back!"

Youyou had truly been working hard the past few days, possibly out of guilt or gratitude. She put in exceptional effort at work, earnestly completing every job the company arranged, even if it meant sacrificing rest time.

Seeing her working herself to the bone like that, Qin Wei began worrying for her at first.

Now that she could see Youyou was still energetic and spirited, Qin Wei felt reassured.

Youyou looked at her and said,

"Senior sister, the new dorm arrangements have been made, we also have a new teammate, she's my schoolmate and you happen to know her too! We agreed to hot pot together tonight!"

"Your schoolmate who I also know? Who is it?"

"Shen Qingqing."
