Chapter 2627: Rise in Public Opinion (4)
“I think I recall her taking a break from school in our second year. Word had it then that she had accidentally gotten pregnant. Actually, there were many versions of the story, but the most widely circulated one was of her getting pregnant, stopping school, and secretly giving birth to a child. I heard that she had received plenty of money, enough to repay her family’s debts. To be honest... I do find her pitiful. A young girl like her had to resort to selling her body for money.”
“Yun Shishi was my senior who had taken great care of me while I was studying, but I heard that her reputation wasn’t too good in school. She’s now a very popular actress, huh. If not for this interview, I wouldn’t know that she’s the very person who acted as ‘Yin Xiachun’.”
“Those rumors have been unverified even to date, but she did give me the feeling of being unsociable. Many of the guys in our class saw her as their goddess. Every day, one would find her desk piled with heaps of love letters and chocolates; there were even expensive bags and phones.”
...
The anonymous interview set the Internet ablaze.
The actress gained a few million new followers in just one night, and the numbers were still climbing. This, however, was not a positive sign to her, for those new followers did it just for the sake of hurling insults and piling accusations at her.
[What a shameless third party—I hate third parties the most! Getting between other people’s relationships is the most shameless thing to do!]
[Even though it’s consensual, seducing other people’s boyfriend is just plain wrong and shameless! To think I’ve been your fan since your debut film ‘The Green Apple’! Recalling it now just disgusts me; trust me to have a good impression of a third party!]
[B*tch, you deserve to die from a car crash! Why don’t you die, you shameless sl*t! Just leave showbiz and stop embarrassing yourself!]
[Get out of the entertainment industry, you brazen h*ssy!]
...
Soon, #GetoutofshowbizYunShishi trended online.
Because of her so-called involvement in another couple’s relationship, netizens formed anti-groups to launch attacks at her on Weibo, scolding, cursing, and humiliating her in the name of justice and righteousness.
They particularly detested the term ‘third party’ and somewhat sympathized with Ji Yan, with many of them having experienced betrayal from their beloveds.
Online bullying was terrifying; one could effortlessly destroy another person without getting hurt themselves.
Meanwhile, Huanyu had been dealing with this matter seriously by stopping all the actress’s public schedule. Her manager was also busy dealing with this affair.
The matter had blown up so big it had now become a phenomenon of cyberbullying. The public just could not be calmed down no matter how many PR teams the talent company dispatched to settle it, making things become even trickier. Yun Shishi, therefore, did not log into her Weibo account for days.
The atmosphere on set was strange, too. The other actress had been absent for days. Even though the director allowed Yun Shishi to go on a break, she insisted on continuing with the filming. She wanted and had to keep herself busy, or else she would feel very lost about her current situation.
...
Youyou ultimately found out about the cyberbullying, despite how hard she had tried to keep it from them.
