Rich Side Character Goes Viral for Gossiping on a Laid-Back Reality Show Ch. 2

Prev | Directory | Next

[Oh no! The paparazzi already snapped some suggestive photos of you two! Host, you're about to hit the trending list again!]

Yu Qianxia: [...]

Of course. This was exactly the kind of dumb thing her love-obsessed character would do. There was no way she was owning up to it.

Before Lu Jianchen could react, Yu Qianxia suddenly stood up. Cool as ever, she slid on a pair of oversized sunglasses, half-covering her face. Her jawline was sharp and elegant, and without sparing him another glance, she spun around and strode off without hesitation.

Lu Jianchen's eyes flashed with confusion and surprise. A trace of panic flickered across his heart, but as soon as he glanced down at the message from his manager, he felt relieved again.

Meanwhile, the melon about Lu Jianchen had earned Yu Qianxia an extra ten minutes of clear-headed time.

She pulled open the van door. Inside, her manager, Sister Rong, was frowning deeply while on the phone.

Yu Qianxia glanced at her phone. In the span of just two or three minutes, the photos taken by the paparazzi had already flooded the internet. She was now trending in three different spots.

#Wannabe Star Yu Qianxia Clinging to Lu Jianchen#

#Heiress Yu and Actor Lu Caught in a Secret Rendezvous#

#Yu Qianxia the Homewrecker#

The last one—#Yu Qianxia the Homewrecker#—shot straight to the top of the list in record time.

Sister Rong was desperately trying to contact people at Weibo to take down the trending tags, but no matter what, that last one just wouldn't budge. She hung up the phone, sighed deeply, and looked at Yu Qianxia with a mix of frustration and disappointment.

"I told you not to go see Lu Jianchen! That guy has never had good intentions. Every single time you meet up with him, you conveniently get photographed. Don't you see? He's setting you up!"

"The paparazzi were obviously planted by him. He's using this to ruin your image and boost his own hype!"

If this had been the old Yu Qianxia, she would've argued back immediately. But this time, she simply nodded seriously and said, "Yeah. That's why we can't let him off the hook this time."

Sister Rong was in full-on rant mode, her face filled with frustration. "How many times have I told you?! He's using you! Why don't you ever believe me—wait... what did you just say?"

Yu Qianxia repeated herself.

Sister Rong stared at her in disbelief. "Are you for real?"

Time was running out—she had to dig up more gossip fast.

Yu Qianxia's beautiful eyes were filled with determination as she spoke concisely, "Sister Rong, I'm over Lu Jianchen. Do whatever you want with him."

The reason people were bashing her as a homewrecker was because Lu Jianchen supposedly had a girlfriend. But the thing was—his so-called girlfriend wasn't real. She was just another actress from his agency. Since they had starred in a hit drama together, their CP fans were everywhere.

To keep the hype going, their company had simply arranged a couple contract to make them fake-date for publicity.

Thinking about this made Sister Rong furious. Back when Lu Jianchen publicly announced his relationship, 'Yu Qianxia' had been heartbroken and ready to move on. But then, after a red carpet event, Lu Jianchen had accidentally lost his couple contract in the underground parking lot—conveniently near their van. Even more conveniently, Yu Qianxia had picked it up.

The moment she found out Lu Jianchen wasn't actually dating anyone, she fell right back into his trap and started pursuing him all over again.

From that day on, Sister Rong had completely seen through that man's tricks. What accident? What coincidence? It was all part of his manipulative little game. And it had worked—on the old, love-blind Yu Qianxia.

But now...

Seeing Yu Qianxia's serious expression, Sister Rong got excited.

Finally! Her girl was awake! She had broken free from that toxic man!

Sister Rong had actually kept a backup of that couple contract—she had taken pictures of it. If not for worrying about 'Yu Qianxia's' feelings, she would've exposed it long ago.

Now, though? Perfect timing.

With a satisfied smile, she immediately started making calls, preparing to leak Lu Jianchen and Jiang Shasha's fake relationship contract to the industry insiders.

But just as she got busy, a new twist hit the internet.

#Jiang Shasha Likes a Tweet Confirming Yu Qianxia as a Homewrecker#

Three minutes ago, Jiang Shasha had accidentally liked a post that accused Yu Qianxia of being a homewrecker.

Although she quickly unliked it, the damage was done—the internet had already exploded.

Sister Rong read the news and cursed under her breath. "Ugh, those two really deserve each other. A fake couple, both riding the hype train—match made in hell."

Meanwhile, inside another nanny van—

Lu Jianchen stepped in with long strides. Jiang Shasha casually tucked her hair behind her ear, opened her phone camera, and switched to selfie mode. Then, she lifted her eyes and glanced at him.

The silent message was clear.

Lu Jianchen walked over, sat beside her, and posed for the perfect couple shot. Jiang Shasha smiled brightly and snapped the photo.

As soon as the photo was taken, Jiang Shasha's smile vanished. Lu Jianchen wasted no time getting up and moving to the back seat.

The so-called "perfect couple" adored by the public—without the cameras around, they were nothing more than strangers.

Jiang Shasha uploaded the selfie with a caption for their fans:

[No matter what others say, our love remains unchanged.]

The moment it went up, the internet blew up again.

[So what if Miss Yu won't give up? Their love is rock solid!]

[Ugh, Yu Qianxia is the worst. Just because she has money, she thinks she can do whatever she wants—even stealing someone's boyfriend?! Absolutely disgusting!]

[Can someone kick this wannabe out of the industry already? Sick of these rich brats buying their way in.]

[Want Miss Yu to quit the circle? Keep dreaming. That girl isn't done playing yet.]

[She's so annoying! Some people work their whole lives and never make it, but she just throws money around and debuts effortlessly. No talent, no work—just endless drama. She's a plague on the industry.]

The trend of ridicule on the internet continued. Yu Qianxia sat in the nanny car. As the driver sped up, the group arrived at the nearby destination within five minutes.

The system asked excitedly, [Host, there are two more opportunities to eat melons today. Whose melons do you want to eat next?]
